CHAIRMAN OF THE “BOARD OF PEACE” . . . IS THERE NO END TO IT?
If You Read My Editorials Going Back More Than 19-Years (From 2007), all of which are Archived on this Blog (Galganov.com), I am Certain Most of you Would Agree that my Core Principles Have Not Changed.
I Am A Conservative . . . Conservative . . . Conservative . . .
During The 2016 Primary . . . To See who Would be Chosen by the Republicans to Campaign Against Hillary Clinton, of the Dozen Plus Republicans Vying to be the Candidate, Trump Wasn’t My Last Choice, But He was Right Down-There Amongst my Last Choices. My First Choice Was Ultimately Ted Cruz.
But – When Trump Did Win the Nomination, I Held my Nose & Gave Trump my Full-Throated Support, since my Belief was . . . Anyone On The Republican Side Had To Be Better Than Hillary Clinton . . . I Wasn’t Wrong.
What Surprised The Hell Out Of Me, was the Incredible Job Trump Did in His First Term, In Spite Of His Bombastic Demeanor & Nature. And then Came the National Biden Screw-Job in 2020, Followed by the LEFT’S Crusade to Bury Trump & Destroy the Foundation of the American Constitution and the Rule of Law.
Then Came 2024 . . . Biden Was Gone – The House & The Senate Fell To The Republicans . . . And The World Seemed Right Again. But Something Changed, and in the Much Larger Context – In My Mind At Least . . . Not All Of Which Changed Was Necessarily For The Better.
After Years of Poor Presidential Mismanagement by Both the Democrats and the Republicans, Culminating with Barack Obama’s Promise to “Fundamentally Change America” Followed by the Least Competent & Perhaps Nastiest & Most Corrupt President America Had Ever Known (Biden) . . . No One Could Argue That America Was In Dire Need Of A Constitutional Re-Set.
In Trump’s First Year-Back (2025) . . . He Has Righted so Many Wrongs Caused by the Democrats & RINO Republicans, from Sealing the Border, Deporting Illegal Immigrants, Re-Establishing the Rule of Law, Ditching Horrific Federal Mandates, Restoring the Dignity of Women, Waging War on Drugs, Ending EV Mandates, Becoming Energy Self Sufficient, Ripping-Out the Windmills, Chucking-Out the Uber Racist DEI, Tossing-Out the WHO, the Paris Accord and a Host of Other UN Agencies – And So Much More, as He Reestablished Lost Pride in America to His Base . . . But He Doesn’t Know When to Stop Pushing the Envelope – Or When To Stop Bragging About Everything He Has Done . . . Deserved Or Not.
I Didn’t Like His Speech At Davos, But then Again – I Simply Do Not Like the Elitist Bullshit Surrounding Davos. But Back To Trump . . . Trump’s Davos Speech was a Repeat of any of His Other Speeches Made During the Year with a Few New Wrinkles . . . Which In Essence, It Was All About Him.
It Was All About How Great America Is Because Of Him. It was all About How He Stopped 8-Wars. It was About Bringing Into America $18-Trillion Foreign Investor Dollars. It was About the Thousands of New Plants & Car Manufacturers He was Taking Out of Allied Countries to Bring to America. It was About America Controlling AI Over all Others, it was Also About the Power of Tariffs, and Remarkably . . . It was About How Crappy all the Other Countries Were in Comparison to Trump’s America . . . And It Was About America’s Vaunted Military . . . Like None Other Has Ever Been.
Even If Everything Trump Said Was True . . . How was Davos the Place for Him to Promote His Domestic Accomplishments for Over an Hour, to An Audience who Equally Love their Nations & Think in their Own Way, that their Nations are Great as Well, as if He was Campaigning for Whatever . . . Perhaps The Permanent Chairmanship Of His Board Of Peace To Replace The United Nations . . . Which Like the WEF – I Also Have Very Little Good to Say About (None).
THREAT TO TAKE GREENLAND . . . IN-SPITE OF A DEAL THAT ALREADY EXISTED:
I Dedicate This Link By Ella Fitzgerald To Donald J Trump.
Trump Had The World on Edge as First He Said that He Would Take the Sovereign Territory of Greenland, Whether The Greenlanders Or Danish Government Liked It Or Not. He Even Threatened a Military Take-Over. Then it was a Total Buy-Out.
At First – It Was Because He Needed Greenland – Because Only America Could Defend it from the Russians & Chinese. Then it was Because of the Rare Minerals. Then it was Because of the Chinese/Russian Threat and the Rare Minerals . . . Then it was a 10% Tariff on all European Markets who Didn’t Agree with Him, to Come into Effect on February 1, 2026, to be Increased to 25% on June 1, 2026 if there Still wasn’t a Deal . . . Is That The Way Nations Should Behave To One Another?
And Now The Deal Is Sort Of Set – No Invasion – No Tariffs, and Back to the Arrangement America Has Had with Greenland & Denmark for the Longest Time.
Why Did Trump Back-Track? . . . Because Europe Stood-Up To The Bully.
Maybe It’s A Great Negotiating Ploy For Businesspeople, Especially Contractors from New York City, to Bring all their Negotiations Right to the Edge of the Cliff, Only to Pull Back Before Going-Over . . . But That’s No Way To Run A Country, Least Of All To Manage The World.
RUNNING A COUNTRY IS REALLY NO DIFFERENT THAN RUNNING A COMMUNITY:
I’m Posing The Following For You To Really Ponder.
Let’s Say You Live In A Modest House Within A Working-Class Community, and You are Very Proud-Of your Home & Lifestyle. Just Across the Street, there is a Gated Community, which Gives you Employment, where the Least Expensive House . . . Is Valued At 100-Times The Worth Of Your Own Home.
Every Time You Go Across The Street To Do Your Job, which Could be Baby-Sitting, Gardening, Pool Maintenance, Painting, House-Keeping – You Name It . . . You are Told by Your Employer (Neighbor), that He or She is Much Better than You, Because you Live in a Crummy Little House Compared to His or Her House, and you Owe Everything You Have to Working for Him or Her . . . And Without Him Or Her – You Would Be Nothing.
I’m Going To Write More About This In My Forthcoming Editorial.
WELCOME TO HOW THE WORLD SEES DONALD TRUMP – IN SPITE OF THE HYPE:
No One Wants To Feel Less, Belittled Or Inconsequential – Not People – Not Countries.
Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov

Can’t wait for ‘the rest of the story!’
I used to like Trump because he did what he said he would do and it was mostly just fine, I do not like the new Trump but someone has to tell net zero civilization destroying WEF ,and UN to go to hell. I can’t think of anyone better to do it.
I will always be grateful Trump kept the warmongering Hilary and the low IQ Kamala out of the presidency, but his psychotic narcissistic behaviour has become dangerous. I recognize he has done good things in the US, but globally he is a disaster. He doesn’t look well to me, very slouched over and can’t control his mouth. The world needs a statesman in his office but neither party has anyone even close. Disappointing. Robert, Richmond BC
And here I thought you were going to talk about swamps becoming wetlands, suburbia into sprawl. But no, you are concerned about Pres. Trump being mean to the Europeans. Not sure I can back you here. For decades Europe has gotten a free ride and we have suffered from weak Dem leaders. Now Europe is actually learning to stand on their own with the U.S. help rather than dependence on the U.S. Trade is a bit more equal. And that is from tough talk. We need more for the time being.
Yes, Trump is an egomaniac. But who else would have voluntarily step forward to wrest this country from the globalists when all the other first-world countries have already fallen?
To Dick and Nora above, you are both spot on! You might not like DJT’s negotiating tactics, but he is results driven! He is true American Leader/Negotiator from morning till evening, every day of every week..My hat is off to him in every way! Perhaps he does toot his own horn to much, if not himself, who then would take this mantle? So what, he is rebuilding the America I once knew w/o all the BS that for decades has been piled upon by the left and is restoring the faith of the American people.
The old world order failed in 2014 when Obama let Putin’s ‘little green men’ invade Ukraine. In 2021 Biden ok’d Putin to again invade Ukraine killing 1 million while Europe buys Russia’s oil that fuels the war. Greenlanders armed with snowballs vie for independence while Russian & Chinese ships await offshore to pounce. Canada defends its Arctic with snowmobiles & 303 WW I rifles. Thank God Trump wants to defend NA against the ominous China/Russia threat while the old world order cared not.
I have known of Donald Trump for forty years.Never liked his character.However he had to deal with the NY. mob and NY.city Dem politicians.He successfully built in NY city.The EU has allowed the invasion of Moslem people.Sharia law is common thru out Europe.The EU had not paid the NATO dues. America is the only democracy powerful enough to neutralize Russia and China.One should not argue with success.Presidents Carter,the Bush’s,Clinton,Obama and Biden do not come close to Trump’s winning way
I disagree with your take on President Trump’s Davos speech. Sometimes, as in this case, it’s absolutely necessary to repeat what has taken place during his first year of his second presidency. The Davos elitists certainly needed to hear the truths because the news media doesn’t accurately report truths. I believe that there’s nothing wrong with a citizen in any country showing pride in one’s country’s accomplishments and achievements, especially those done by a President.
You can be dam sure Carney still wants a parliamentary majority and there will be another Federal election this year. Trumps mouth has done more to assure another left wing liberal victory than any questionable nation ever could , through election interference. If the libs win Canada is done. Alberta will separate and they won’t join the USA. They don’t need the debt and the many leftist problems that America also has.
Yes, Trump is bombastic and he brags excessively but you have to admit, he sets his goals and achieves them, usually faster than he predicts. I see him as head and shoulders above other World leaders. Look at what we got in Ottawa! Disgraceful.
I honestly think Trump wants All to work with him not against him to make every country great! But we have leaders that want All for their countries at others expense. I see some think Trump looks very tired, he probably is, Trump has a fantastic team around him but fighting for your country every day does wear a person down. The DemoRats are Not asleep they Are still trying TO Destroy America…plus Destroy TRUMP at the sametime.
Cathy and Ed I wholeheartedly agree with you. Carney said he would join Denmark and meet the USA military, is Carney not aware the USA has a military base there? Trump and head of NATO formed a new Peace Board and DJT has excluded Carney from this new Board. Luv it.
There are a few commenters here who understand the man, and President of the United States of America, Donald John Trump. However, you, Howard and others are so blinded with his “bombastic” bad-words manner that you miss everything that he accomplishes all through the “Art of the Deal”. You & others ought to spend some time researching Donald John Trump & his heritage, along with reading his #1 Best Seller “The Art of Deal”, before misunderstanding what he just accomplished; Globalism de
I’m not sure that most Canadians realize how much damage PM Carney did to them in the past 2 weeks whilst being shielded from public exposure by the “noise” coming out of Davos and the atrocities of the Iranian regime. He basically joined Canada to the “other side” by carving out in person deals with the leaders of China and Qatar. Does anyone truly understand what he has done? This man is significantly more dangerous than his naive woke predecessor.
The deal with China maybe the downfall of Carney and Liberals. Most likely get support from Ford and like minded Conservatives. The deal with Communist China is just wrong, my opinion. Great ammunition for Poilievere hope he uses it wisely
I agree with last two comments above. Hopefully Carney will self destruct. Don’t rely on Poilievre, he amazingly praised Carney saying he gave a very eloquent speech at Davos. Personal deals rather than person deals would be more accurate. Carney is a Globalist; active WEF; no Pipeline; Net Zero; Paris Accord; Trade China EV’s for Canola & bugger Ontario; Muslim Values. Austerity for you and me while he flies with his junkets around the world to avoid being in Parliament. Wake up Canadians.
I agree most of the time with you. I almost totally disagree with you now. Trump uses “we”, not “i” in his speeches. He is bombastic because the majority are so brainwashed it is hard to get through the mud, muck and mire planted by all the previous Presidents. As a business person, I can fully understand his frustration dealing with the degenerate, pompous, unqualified, corrupt “heads of state” in the World, .
I listened to a clip just today – female, no idea her name – that was shared by another Canadian who appears to think as you do, Mr. G. (I smile, because the more conservative voices one listens to, the more will begin to appear in one’s social media feed. Funny how those little bots cooperate.) I digress. This gal went on at great length about your PM Carney, imploring Canadians to “wake up.” Thinking his concern is first, last, and foremost only for himself. Weasel comes to mind. Sorry.
Greetings: I must agree with the large majority of respondents: America and the World is much better off with Donald Trump as the leader of the free world than any other World leader. Name one that’s done a better job? THERE AIN’T NONE!!! God Bless Our President. And Carney is really a Globalist weasel. He belongs in Europe!
