I really seems like he is getting manipulated by Putin and the rest
of the world is watching pretty closely because if the USA is on
Russia's side, who knows who Russia will invade next?

Yes, I guess it's in their interest if they can do anything to keep
the wars going.

He may be miffed at Alaska because they are not fans at all of what he
has been doing. Then again, I wouldn't be shocked if he doesn't know
geography very well if it doesn't impact buildings he owns..

Today he was saying that in Canada he doesn't want the Consevatives to
win th coming election because "Poilievre was stupidly not nice to him".
He figures he'd prefer it if the Liberals get back in because he figures
he can more easily control them.. he's also back to saying we should be
the 51s state..

Two big polling places have been asking who people plan to vote for
and one said that the Conservatives are 1% ahead in the polls and
the other said that the Liberals are 5% ahead of them. It's probably
going to be a close race regardless, which unfortunately usually ends
in a Minority gov't where the Prime Minister can't get half the stuff
he wants to do done unless he gives something to another party to get
them to vote with him to push it through.

That was Trudeaus problem the last 3 years. He didn't have a Majority.
