IF I WAS ABLE TO VOTE FOR TRUMP. . . I STILL WOULD:
I Like What Trump Is Doing For America Vis A Vis The Long Overdue Housecleaning.
I Like What Trump Is Doing To Protect Jews In America & Israel, as He Stands Unabashedly for Israel’s Right to Exist in an Anti-Semitic World, Which Are More Than Enough Reasons For Me To Want To Vote For Trump If I Could.
But Because I Am Not An American Citizen – I Cannot Vote.
BUT LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I DON’T LIKE . . .
I Don’t Like The Constant Trump Bombast . . .
Trump Was Elected By A Large Majority Of Americans Because He Promised To Drain The Swamp, which He is Doing & Trying to Do In-Spite of the Lawfare Being Waged Against Him by Pissant Judges, who should be Disbarred from their Benches for Violating the Spirit & Conditions of the US Constitution . . . For Political Purposes.
I Love that Trump Has More or Less Sealed the US/Mexico Border and is in the Process of Deporting Every Violent Illegal Immigrant ICE Can Get their Hands-On.
I Love that Trump is Going After the Democrats and their Sycophants who Broke Every Rule of Political Decency to Destroy Him, His Family, His Friends and His Associates . . . For Nefarious Political Purposes.
And It Can’t Be Taken For Granted, that Trump is Destroying the Green New Deal, DEI and the War on Fossil Fuels.
Politics Is A Rough & Dirty Game . . . But Even In Politics There Must Be A Degree Of Decency.
BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT-IT:
A Good Reason Why Trump Won the 2024 Election Had to Do with the Democrats Choosing the Worst Two Candidates Imaginable – To Run Under Their Banner.
Trump Won the 2024 Election Because After so Many Generations in Control of Either the White House or One or Both Chambers of Congress, The Democrat Party Simply Ran Out Of Steam & Their Grift Caught-Up With Them.
Trump Won the 2024 Election Because the LEFT Had Taken Control of the Democrat Party & Ran a Campaign that Promised Nothing of Value, And Everything Of WOKE Insanity.
They Still Have Not Learned Their Lesson.
Trump Also Won the 2024 Election Because He Ran a Terrific Campaign with Unbelievable Energy, Guided by a Tremendous Election Team.
And One Cannot Dismiss The Fact That Trump Survived An Assassination Bullet That Grazed His Ear . . . In Front of Tens of Thousands of Cheering Supporters & Millions of Television & Internet Viewers Carried Live Globally.
And Instead of Staying on the Ground as Shots Continued to Ring-Out Around Him, as a “Normal” Person Would Have Done, Trump Took To His Feet, Pumped His Fist Into The Air While Hollering . . . Fight, Fight, Fight!
After 4-Dreadful Years Of America’s Worst President Ever (Biden), which Cursed America in Ways that will Take Generations to Repair, if What Biden’s White House Destroyed Could Ever Be Fully Repaired, with a Legacy of Unsustainable Debt. One Would Have Thought That Trump’s 2024 Election Victory Should Have Been Much Bigger.
I Don’t Necessarily Believe Kamala Harris Won As Many Votes As The Results Indicate . . . But I am Surprised that Trump Didn’t Sweep Everything by Massive Margins, Given The State Of His Opposition, which Leaves Me to Believe . . . if the Democrats Can Get their Crap Together . . . The 2026 Midterms Won’t Be A Slam Dunk For Trump & The Republicans.
NOTHING HAS CHANGED . . . THE DISHONEST MEDIA IS STILL HERE . . .
The Dishonest Propagandized Pro-Democrat Media Is Licking Its Wounds . . . and is Still there with Billions of Dollars to Spend. Furthermore, the Fickle Social Media is Also Waiting for their Resurrection Under the Guidance & Financial Support of World Powers, Many of Whom are Well Known Enemies of America, and Some who are Pretend Friends & Allies to America . . . Who Have Been Hurt Psychologically & Financially By Trump’s Words, Threats & Tariffs.
MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT-IT . . . WORDS HURT, AND HURT WORDS LINGER:
In Spite of What Trump Says About all the People (World Leaders) Who He Says “Love Trump” – Don’t Take That To The Bank. People Don’t Like Getting Insulted. Nations Don’t Like Getting Demeaned. No One (Including Nations) Likes to be Bullied. And No Nation Wants to Have its Commerce Cut by Any Means – Including By Tariffs.
Do You Really Think Trump Has Putin (Russia) Or Xi Jinping (China) Quaking In Their Boots?
Do you Think the European Union is Sitting-Back Waiting to Roll-Over to Trump’s Demands? Or that Japan is Eagerly Looking-Forward to Losing Revenue that Balances Japan’s Budget?
I’m A Canadian . . . I Was 100%-In For Trump. And to a Great Extent, I’m Still a Trump Supporter – But . . . Trump’s Big Mouth Is Making It Harder & Harder Every Day To Ignore.
Here He Goes Again (To Quote Ronald Reagan) . . . On the Cusp of Canada’s Epic Election (Just Days Away), which will Decide if Canada will be a Conservative Nation Based Upon Freedom of Expression, a Smaller Government, Less Government Spending, Less Bureaucracy, Lower Taxes, Greater Energy Production – Etc-Etc . . . If The Canada-First Conservative Party Under Pierre Poilievre Wins Over The Liberal Party Under The Globalist Mark Carney.
But Trump Can’t Help Himself . . . Once Again He’s Calling Canada America’s 51st State, Telling all Who Will Listen that Canada Has Nothing America Needs or Wants. And Without America Subsidizing Canada, Canada Could Not Exist as an Independent Country.
Funny Thing How Canada Has Managed To Exist As An Independent Country Since 1867 (158-Years), Fighting Two World Wars with Distinction, the Korean War, the Kosovo War and the War in Afghanistan.
Canada Is Seen & Respected By The World As A Great, Free & Reliable Country.
To Add Fuel To Trump’s Fire On Canada . . . Now Trump is Threatening Again to Increase Tariffs on Canada’s Auto Industry. Maybe this is the Way Trump Likes to Wheel & Deal in the Dirty World of High-Stakes New York City Real-Estate.
But This Is Not The Way You Treat Your Closest Neighbor, Biggest Trade Client, Best Friend & Most Reliable Ally.
Trump Says That It Is No Big Deal That Tourism In America Is In The Tank, Because People Are Pissed-Off (Mostly Canadians) at What He is Doing & Saying . . . But Trump Isn’t Operating the Nickle & Dime Mom & Pop Shops (Restaurants, Greasy Spoons, Hotels/Motels, RV Parks, Camp Grounds, Tourist Attractions, Gift & Bric-A-Brac Stores . . . Plus-Plus-Plus.
Trump Doesn’t Have To Worry About Paying The Rent On Their Enterprises, or Keeping Staff Employed, Paying for the Light, Heat, Electricity, Insurances & Taxes just to Stay Open, Not to Mention the Suppliers whose Products do Not Get Sold Because the Tourists are Not Coming.
Anne & I Live An Easy Drive To Three Border Towns . . . Burlington VT, Massena NY & Watertown NY. And if we Want to Spend a Bit More Time Driving, We only Live Several Hours from Bigger Cities Like Rochester NY & Syracuse NY, which are Favorite Day & Weekend Getaways for Canadians. But Not So Much Anymore.
And If You Think This Affects Only Small American Towns & Cities . . . Detroit, Buffalo, Washington and so Many Others Along our 5,500 Mile Shared Border Are Border Cities Too, which Depend Upon the Billions of Dollars Canadians Spend in the United States of America.
But More Than That . . . Ask the Property Owners in Florida or Arizona, which are Canadian Snowbird Hotspots, How their Coming Winter Rental Season is Looking as Canadians are Cancelling Winter Get-A-Ways to America “En Masse”?
Anne, The Falconater, The Mac -Attack & I Are Already Booked With Deposit Paid For Another Winter At Myrtle Beach. But, Before We left on April 1, 2025 to Go Back to Canada, Almost Half the Canadians who Have Been Staying at the Incredible RV Park where we Spent the Last Two Winters, which we Make our Winter-Home, Have Cancelled Their Reservations Asking For Their Deposits Back.
Most Times . . . When Your Eyes Are Much Bigger Than Your Stomach – You Satisfy Neither.
Nothing Is Irrevocable Except Death . . . But the Damage Trump Has Done to the Canadian/American Relationship will Not be Easily Fixed over the Short Run.
And Now He’s Still Screwing With Canada’s Election.
I Think It’s Already Too Late . . . But Had Trump Just Stuck to Cleaning House in America, and Slowly Worked on Trade Deals . . . Instead Of Going To Defcon-One Against The Entire World, and Stopped with the Insults & Threats . . . The 2026 Mid-Terms Would Probably be a Republican Given, And So Probably Would The Next Presidential Election In 2028.
Now I’m Not So Sure . . . Because I Don’t Think it’s Going to Get Better Before it Gets Worse. And How Long It Will Be Worse Is Anyone’s Guess.
You Can’t Declare War Against The Whole World & Not Expect Blow-Back & Consequences.
AS FOR CANADA . . . WE ARE NOT TRUMP’S FIFTY-FIRST STATE:
Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov

Yes, I would have too! Carney will ruin Canada just like he did in UK! WEF Carney is worst then Trudeau and Freeland!
Trump is doing a great job of punishing America’s allies and its citizens while our enemies are largely dismissive of his insane policies and gambits. To coin an oft-used phrase now, “this is not what I voted for”. And the polls are showing it. Trump, who came into office at an all-time high approval (for him), is sinking now. On this Trump-caused trajectory, Republicans will get blown out of the water in the 2026 midterm elections and DJT will finish as a lame duck eunuch LOSER of a Presiden
Wow Howard. You put into words exactly what this Trump supporting Canadian is thinking. The only thing I would add, if we are stuck with the blood sucking Lieberals for another term, I not only blame Trumpand his words, but I blame Jagmeet Singh for continuing to support Trudeau every time there was a nonconfidence vote. God help us.
I’m sorry to say that the polls I have seen don’t look good for the conservative party for the upcoming election in Canada. I hope and pray that they’re wrong and just propaganda spewed by the controlled media, as I believe America and Canada need each other badly. Perhaps GOD has a different idea in mind!
Trump is playing Monopoly. He wants to land on Boardwalk, not Mediterranean. I watch and applaud his efforts and hope he wins the game.
As a Canadian biker, I go to the States annually on our Ride to Remember the Holocaust (R2R)This year it would have been a month long trip but I just I just cut it down to one week. AND you did not even mention the 40% on the exchange. YES, as Canadians we are voting with our feet and will stay away until he comes to his senses. Andy
Great article HG, I concur with all your conclusions. My President hasn’t learned to His and Our Detriment that in many situations LESS is MORE. Making America Great Again is NOT accomplished by Insults or Threats to ones Friends and Neighbors.
Regardless, if Trump is the one who can prevent Iran and it’s bat sh** crazy theocratic, Jew hating, West hating totally mad Mullahs from ever getting their hands on nuclear weapons he will have saved Israel in particular and Western civilization in general. Achieve that and he goes down in the history books as the greatest most influential President ever, He wasn’t saved from an assassin’s bullet for nothing.
Trump appointed some great people to manage his government and things were good. Then, for unfathomable reasons, he stepped outside the bounds of his alloted intellectual capacity. The collateral damage caused by his rampage hurt many businesses across the northern US. For that reason alone Trump will likely lose both houses in the midterms. The result could well be chaotic as the Dems seek retribution by impeachment, unhinged lawfare and finally, the imprisonment of Trump. Don’t be surprised
The art of the deal. Trump enters the scene with both guns blazing, then, negotiates an acceptable deal with those that he just devastated.
The most concerning thing is how this has now effectively shelved the joint USA-Israel plan for eliminating Iran’s nuclear program, this being collateral damage as Trump attempts “damage control” and has started to listen to a certain group (Vance/Tucker Carlson) who do not have Israel’s best interests at heart and will result in an Obama 2.01-like nuclear “deal” instead of utilizing the rapidly decreasing window of opportunity of unprotected skies over Iran to complete this vital mission.
Greetings: Some of your readers keep mentioning the Canadian dollar difference in value. WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP??? THE Canadian dollar has been in the toilet for many, many DECADES compared to the U.S. dollar. It is due to the failure of the CANADIAN GOVERNMENT to be productive, stable & competitive! SUGGESTION? Tag the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar. Both countries can accept each other’s at par. Canadas buck would take a short term hit and then stabilize!
Unfortunately, Howard, I agree with you regarding Trump’s big mouth, I cringe when he starts talking, I love what he does for the U.S. but can live without the insults. However, if your fellow Canadians vote for Carney because of what Trump is saying, then sham on them, they are the ones that will end up losing big time, they should vote for what is best for Canada, and it is NOT Carney, hopefully they will use more brain and less heart. Good luck on Monday!!
I am in 95% agreement w/ your thinking Howard. Biden was NOT the worst President the US has had! It was Obumer: he was far, far worse —— furthermore, he was the puppeteer for Biden’s last 4 years —— 4 years in never, never land —— where that is. Also, Trump is always thinking 25-30 years ahead of us “common” folks. The press & the politicians keep us “tangled in our won underwear” as opposed to objective / long-term thinking. I am praying Canada will vote correctly.
First of all If you understand Trump he knows making Canada the 5st state is not possible, he is really negotiating for something else. Canada is a beautiful country and the ‘True Canadians” are a proud and wonderful people. I have a better idea. Make California, Oregon and Washington the 11th Canadian Province, and New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire and Rhode Island the 12th. (Just as I thought you don’t want them either)!!!
Again I reiterate that had Trudeau simply said, “Yes certainly, Canada will close the border to illegals transporting Fentanyl into the USA”, none of this wud be happening. But Trudeau, (bouncer/drama teacher) thot he cud out-think/out-smart Trump. Trudeau was then so embarrassed by his stupidity, he immediately quit as Prime Minister and slithered into the darkness. This happened @ a terrible time for Canada since Carney simply stepped in ????, and called an election
I agree DZ for the 11/12th province. When will Canadiens realize they’ve been sold a bill of bull for yrs? If the qbekers to c past their arrogance, liberalism, & c the 1 world government aims of the liberals, then Canada is toast & we’ll see the northern land of N.A. go down the crapper. It will become a 3rd rate country. By the way, what were the Canada tariff rates on US goods vs Canada goods b4 Trump took over vs now? HN is correct. BTW who is responsible 4 the Can $ rate? Not Trump.
The average Kanuck is clueless. Like spoiled kids if they don’t get their way they blame someone else. Sky-high prices are the result of 9 years of profligate spending by the Trudeau Liberals, flooding the market with billions of non-productive taxpayer dollars. Properly defined, inflation is an increase in the money supply, period. This is what drives up prices. Don’t blame Trump; the villain is Trudeau. The situation will get far worse if Carney (Trudeau 2.0) is elected.
Lets face it Trump has dirt on his hands, his interference in Canadian politics will take a long time for the relations between our countries to heal, if ever . Jim Houston Cobourg Ontario Canada
How have all the great Canadian freedoms worked out for you over the years Howard. Canadians need to have a come to Jesus meeting Monday. They have created all their own problems. A US constitution would serve them well. Blaming Trump won’t fix anything
