This may be a shock, PHILCO3, but Trump was not elected by Merkel or Macon or Trudeau but by the middle and working classes of middle America.

An even bigger shock, if you are a Liberal, is Trump was serious about keeping his election promises to the people.  Unlike Trudeau who with a majority government in our system can keep every promise he wants, the US system of checks and balances will prevent The Donald from keeping some promises.

But 2 years ago president Trump promised his supporters he would take the US out of the useless feel good exercise of diverting billions of bucks from first to third world countries aka the Paris Accord to accomplish Jack Squat and he is keeping that promise as everyone on the planet except you knew he would.

Its not the same as the Liberals making and breaking cynical promises like electoral reform, tiny little deficits, implementing all 92 truth and reconciliation recommendations, etc..

Unlike Trudeau, Trump is a serious guy who means business.
