I was at a dinner party at a friends house at around the time when Trump was campaigning for his first term. Having listened to him closely through the media, and having watched his conduct via “The Apprentice” (accounting for any perceived thoughts that acting within the role may or may not have been apparent) I gained a feel for the man. I started to generate an opinion in regard to his utter essence as a human being and I’ll tell you frankly, I was very unimpressed.
At the dinner party… the evening was winding up and Trump’s name came up. I said – watch. He will align with Putin and coordinate a strategy to walk right into Canada via Alaska and the Bering Strait. Of course the statement should have been perceived as “ridiculous”. My friend’s reaction was neutral but the other dinner party guest was understandably aghast that I should state such a thing.
Where are we now? Through all the turbulence of his first days in office, there has been no talk of Putin and Ukraine and how peace is being delivered to the region. Why has Trump not ever exclaimed in absolute terms that Putin withdraw from Ukraine? I will leave that speculation up to you. What could the U.S. possibly offer Russia for concessions?
Now we have Prime Minister who has come to conclude Trump’s unspoken agenda (absorbing Canada) with respect to Canada. He was caught on a “hot mic” speaking his instinct when his instinct could have been made readily available to Canadians should he have deemed his insight material.
This backdrop is one which supports my opinion that no political leader should be meeting in private with Donald Trump in quarters other than officially sanctioned governmental institutions. Danielle Smith was so naive that she had even brought along a character presumed similar in financial stature to the kinds of people that Trump is now installing to lead his “Project 25”. Ironic or not, since her Trump visit with Kevin O’Leary, Smith is now in hot water at home with allegations of conflict within her department of health at Alberta Health Services (AHS).
