    Interesting way of framing it. As an American, I see it as a win. I think it’s poor journalism to perpetuate the idea that Trump represents Americans and not himself.

      Whether or not he represents Americans, as head of state, he represents America

        Sure but even the headline is manufacturing consent of Trump’s regime. It’s not the United States’ election to win or lose and the only person interested in Canada is Trump/Putin.

        Maybe it’s this kind of language that acts as a soft-acceptance of what Trump is doing to global politics.

          Americans not doing anything about him is the real acceptance. Headlines like this are just evidence.
