Doug Ford certainly changed his tune. “I want to offer my congratulations to Donald Trump and JD Vance on their election as the next President and Vice President of the United States of America,” Ford said. "Ontario and the United States share one of the most important and enduring friendships in the world, built on strong economic ties, shared values, national security interests and integrated supply chains.”

@jeffgeorge6208 You definitely didn't learn the lessons you needed to learn from the first Trump administration. This is probably the funniest example. It's a quote from Trump about the border wall. "I want it to be so beautiful because maybe someday they'll call it The Trump Wall. Maybe. So I have to make sure it's beautiful, right? I'll be very proud of that wall. If they call at this The Trump Wall, it has to be beautiful. And you put that plank up and you dig your footings. And you put that plank up -- there's no ladder going over that. If they ever go up there, they're in trouble, because here's no way to get down. Maybe a rope." Trump promises not kept and outright failures include but are not limited to the following: tax cuts (for the rich), infrastructure week, immigration, the wall, social security, medicare, drug prices, deficit and the debt, inflation, repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.

"An iconic 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' clip is going viral as Trump rolls out more tariff plans In the 1986 coming-of-age movie, Bueller's teacher, played by a famously monotone Ben Stein, recounts the impact of high tariffs on the US economy after the Great Depression to a classroom of zoned-out students. In the scene, Bueller's economics teacher explains the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, a Republican-backed law enacted in 1930 that raised tariffs on imported goods. It was intended to help the US recover from the Great Depression. Instead, it caused countries to implement retaliatory tariffs and sunk the US economy deeper as both exports and imports decreased. The clip has struck a chord among people on social media worried about the economy under the tariffs Trump has proposed. Economists have said that they would increase prices and inflation and that many companies would pass the costs on to consumers." Business Insider

Voter data expert hired by Trump campaign says 2020 election was not stolen. Ken Block, whom the Trump campaign hired in 2020 to find voter fraud in the election, penned an op-ed Tuesday stating unequivocally that the 2020 presidential election was not stolen and that there was no evidence of voter fraud sufficient to change the outcome of the election. "I am the expert who was hired by the Trump campaign,” Block wrote. Block, who owns Simpatico Software Systems, said his company’s findings were communicated directly to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, and transcripts of depositions taken by the Jan. 6 select committee investigating the attack on the Capitol “show that the campaign found no evidence of voter fraud sufficient to change the outcome of any election.” The Hill

Substitute Trump for Biden and that would be true. “Every notable historical era will have its own Faust,” wrote Kierkegaard. Our challenge today is that, to some extent, we are all in a Faustian bind. We are plagued by politicians offering easy answers to complex problems – especially when those easy answers are empty promises. The legend warns us to be wary of the cult of the ego, the seductions of fame and the celebration of power. These are hollow triumphs, and short-lived; indeed, “what good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?” BBC

@danoalex2977 "Although Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo released a statement both addressing migrant caravans and the tariff proposals, she did not pledge or declare to end caravans as a result of the plans. The letter, which has been translated and posted on X by co-general coordinator of the organization Progressive International David Adler and The Washington Post global affairs columnist Ishaan Tharoor, mentions efforts already made to reduce border crossings and break up caravans. "Dear President-elect Donald Trump, I am writing to you regarding your statement on Monday, November 25, concerning migration, fentanyl trafficking, and tariffs," Sheinbaum said. "You may not be aware that Mexico has developed a comprehensive policy to assist migrants from different parts of the world who cross our territory en route to the southern border of the United States. "As a result, and according to data from your country's Customs and Border Protection (CBP), encounters at the Mexico–United States border have decreased by 75% between December 2023 and November 2024. "Moreover, half of those who arrive do so through a legally scheduled appointment under the United States' CBP One program. For these reasons, migrant caravans no longer arrive at the border." Nowhere does the letter mention a commitment to take action against caravans. To the contrary, Sheinbaum's letter challenges the argument that actions to address immigration have stagnated." Newsweek
