Trump betrays Canada

The news buzz involves crushing tariffs against Canada and Mexico imposed by the USA President Donald Trump.  But it is really not about the minutia of what drugs go across the border, general trade imbalances, or all the stated complaints made by Trump.  The executive order says specific things just to make tariffs legal, but the mentioned items are just the excuse, not the real long-term agenda.  There is a motive behind Trump’s lying trash talk about Canada.

The reality is that Canada is under attack from an aggressor who desires our subjugation.  Trump said it clearly that he wants Canada to be part of the USA.  No amount of our economic or policy placation will change the larger long-term goal.

Trump’s crazy idea is an Empire, the ‘golden age’ of the USA, a golden Trump Tower of a country to dominate the vassal neighbour countries (Canada & Mexico).  The only mitigation one can obtain in defence is where the emperor is hurt directly on his goal, or his Oligarchs suffer that he has surrounded himself with.

Canada is in the opening stages of a war of aggression by nonmilitary means. If Trump’s actions are not stopped and we continue to resist, the attempt to use the US military against us is on the list, albeit way down at the bottom at this point. It is unthinkable, but we must understand the aggressor’s larger goal.

Putin miscalculated that Ukraine would be a pushover, and Trump has miscalculated that he could bully Canada into submission.  The American population has not yet caught on to the larger geopolitical agenda.  Trump’s early incremental steps are justified by lies to make them legal.  The next stage is raw illegalities.

Trump has described the golden empire he wants to build.  He shows no human compassion for the disruptions he knows everyone will endure as he unfolds his real agenda.  There is no end to it, but he will take his consuming enterprise as far as he can go.

The unfolding stages of subjugation of peoples for territory and control have been seen many times in history.  What have we learned about how to deal with it?  Certainly not appeasement.

Canada is at war.  Most democratic people on both sides of the border don’t realize it yet.  Trump has published his agenda in books.  A large segment of the USA population at this stage agrees with his lies and are willing facilitators.

Now that unrestrained Donald Trump is emerging on the international stage in a horrific fashion, analysts are reflecting more deeply on his personality, foibles, biases, and deeper life motivations.

Trump’s niece, Mary L. Trump, a qualified psychologist, published an insightful book in 2020, “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man”.

Her book was praised as insightful and forthrightly written, from the view of a family insider with the ring of credibility and engaging nuance.  Trump and his agents also discredited it in an effort for damage control.

Mary Trump (59 years) holds a PhD in clinical psychology.  She writes a succinct description of her uncle, Donald Trump.  She describes a highly flawed individual whose self-absorption and self-aggrandizement over decades have made him into an unpredictable and scary man.  Given his position as President of the United States, she describes that he is ill-equipped and unsuitable for office  -no empathy, insightful understanding, compassion, etc.  She concludes that there is no hope of a change in character for Trump, considering his age and lifetime behavioral pattern.  His disturbed character traits have been inherent since childhood, and he is now a senior citizen; as the saying goes, “He is fully baked”.

Governments will deal with the agonizing technical details of his fraudulent aggressive enterprise.  The public will eventually grasp the essence of the man as their personal lives are affected.  There are dark days ahead. 

Thomas Hobbes said the grim reality of war is that force and fraud are its two cardinal virtues. Trump has abundantly presented himself over the years as a sociopathic liar who lacks empathy and is motivated by personal gain.  However, Trump will never realize his “golden age for America.”  Before events turn, there will be grim days ahead for Canada.

Proverbs 20:17 What you get by dishonesty you may enjoy like the finest food, but sooner or later it will be like a mouthful of sand.  At first, the bread of lies tastes sweet until guilt reduces it to gravel in the mouth.

I am a Canadian Conservative who believes in peace, order, and good government.  I have faith that Canadians will rise to the challenge with courage, pragmatism, balance, and resolve.  Canada has been betrayed by our historical friend and international ally. Nevertheless, we will always be Canadian.
