"Differing opinions are good and help to arrive at the most sensible result, but in your case you refuse to be proven wrong even if evidence would make it irrefutable."
Really? Do you not read the posts in these forums? Do you think Trump would be given credit for ANYTHING? If you believe so you're in denial.
As I have said many times, I hold the POTUS  and ALL U.S. politicians in low regard as do most Americans. A politician rates right up there with used car salesman, not exactly a career to admire. The main difference is Canadians are in love with their political figures as well as those from a foreign country which is even more perplexing. We've lived through JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Ford (who?), Carter, Reagan, Clinton, Bush X 2 and Obama as well as the do-nothings in Congress. . We've survived that ongoing circus and will no doubt survive this, too.
