After nine days abroad in Europe and the Middle East Donald Trump is on his back to Washington and calling his trip a "home run."When in fact it was a total disaster, and Trump never looked so crazy and dangerous. President Trump failed to commit to remaining within the Paris climate

Montreal Simon: Jared Kushner and the Trump Corruption Scandal
Well there he was at the Western Wall the other day, trying to look as pious as possible. But when you're Donald Trump that's not easy. No matter how hard you try… And by the time he visited the pope his first family act was looking a little monstrous… Read more
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Is the Donald Trump Story Making People Sick?
Oh boy. I thought I was going to be able to completely ignore Donald Trump's Magical Mystery Tour of the Middle East this week end.Which would have been good, because quite frankly I've got to break my Trump Show addiction, before I end up like him. Bellowing incoherently, feeling sorry for
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Donald Trump and the Demon Child In His Head
It's hardly surprising that Donald Trump is not happy with the appointment of a special counsel. But judging by that tweet this morning, the voices in his head are now all screaming at the same time.And when Trump visited the U.S. Coast Guard Academy yesterday, they did provoke him into an
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Donald Trump and the Revenge of James Comey
When Donald Trump fired or "terminated" James Comey so soon after blowing him a gangster kiss, hissing in his ear, and seeming to threaten him: He must have thought he had got rid of the troublesome FBI director.Scared him off with a horse's head, or a fish wrapped up in
Continue readingMontreal Simon: One More Reason Donald Trump Must Go
When I ran this picture the other day I thought there was something strange about it. And it wasn't just that the U.S. media had been ordered out of the room. Or that it was the day after Trump had fired James Comey. I just thought the Russian foreign minister and
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Donald Trump and the Week From Hell
It seems only fitting that Donald Trump should end his week at Liberty University, invoking the name of God, and denouncing his critics.Because for Trump it was a week from Hell.A week when his inner beast, or inner fascist was finally revealed. And he was seen to be both crazy,
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Donald Trump and the Road to Impeachment
For about four days before he abruptly fired FBI director James Comey, Donald Trump practically disappeared from public view.Later he'd claim the reason he fired Comey was because "he wasn't doing a good job." And that his decision had absolutely NOTHING to do with the fact that Comey wanted to step up the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Donald Trump, James Comey, and the Kiss of Death
A few days after he was sworn in as President, Donald Trump spotted FBI director James Comey at a White House event and blew a big orange kiss at him.He was happy with Comey for having knifed Hillary Clinton in the back two weeks before, and helped him win the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Donald Trump and Michael Flynn Show
They used to work together so well, like two old soft shoe shufflers on the election campaign circuit. Donald Trump singing out "Lyin' Hillary Clinton" and Gen. Michael Flynn leading the chant "lock her up, lock her up."It was practically an American love story. But then Trump made Flynn his national security adviser, and
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Bill Maher Goes After the Progressives Who Helped Elect Trump
When I think of all the damage Donald Trump has done in just 100 days, and how many more people he might hurt or kill before his day is done.Or wonder whether the planet will survive him and his bestial ignorance… I can't help thinking of all those precious progressives
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Donald Trump and the Trumpcare Bill That Will Destroy Him
The front page of the New York Daily News sums up the situation well. Donald Trump grins moments after the House of Representatives had passed his Trumpcare bill.While his Republicans prepared to party… Even though the bill would take health insurance away from at least 24 million Americans.And condemn many of
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Donald Trump: Crazy Like a Fox or Just Crazy?
Last weekend I watched Donald Trump celebrate his first 100 days in power with a rally in Pennsylvania.And a speech that Michael Gerson in the Washington Post called the most hate-filled in modern history.A deranged rant where Trump attacked his political opponents, the media, and refugees in a manner
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Scott Pruitt: The Roasting of a Climate Change Denier
When Donald Trump is finally driven from office and put on trial, I hope that Scott Pruitt, the climate change denying head of the Environmental Protection Agency, joins him in the box.For the way Pruitt and Trump are gutting the EPA, threatens to poison our air, our Great Lakes, and even our food.And
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Why Are Donald Trump and His Gang Behaving So Strangely?
It was one of the weirdest scenes I've ever witnessed. Donald Trump leaving an executive order signing ceremony, without signing anything.And his behaviour just keeps getting more and more bizarre, like these tweets he fired off this morning. Which make absolutely no sense, unless he's desperately trying to deflect attention
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Donald Trump and the Coming War With China
I'm sure we all remember the horrified look on Angela Merkel's face, when she came face to face with the madness of Donald Trump, two weeks ago.Or the rude way he refused to shake her hand.And that's before we found out that Trump reportedly handed Merkel a fake bill for more than
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Will Mad Mike Flynn Bring Down Donald Trump?
For a while yesterday morning Donald Trump must have been channelling the good old days, when Mad Mike Flynn used to get his Trumplings chanting "Lock her up, lock her up!!!"For he seemed strangely happy that Flynn had offered to tell Congress what he knows about the Trump campaign's Russian connections,
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Can Donald Trump Pass A Sanity Test?
As you can imagine, even some of Donald Trump's closest advisers are said to be deeply worried about his mental state.They say he appears shell shocked. He apparently had no idea that government was so difficult, and that he would have so little time for golf.And of course he blames
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Donald Trump: When Reality Bites
Donald Trump called his best known book the Art of the Deal. And he has always tried to portray himself in that regard as a genius or an artist. But after his Trumpcare plan went up in smoke the other day.Reality took a big bite out of him, and shattered that
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Donald Trump and the Trumpcare Disaster
Well what a difference a day makes. On Thursday Donald Trump was sitting in the cab of a monster truck demanding that Republicans support his plan to replace Obamacare.Or else.And when he woke up yesterday morning, he seemed pretty confident his Trumpcare plan would be approved. But sadly for him, that's
