00:00:04.240
mental health of some people it's harming the country i mean some people have become so obsessed
00:00:09.360
with their hatred of president-elect donald trump they've lost all sense of reason a perfect example
00:00:14.080
in canada is veteran journalist andrew coin i see one of the commenters mentioned him as soon as
00:00:17.840
trump derangement syndrome came up i mean while coins never made a secret of his dislike of trump
00:00:21.840
he's typically well composed online and public but since the last election he's become outright
00:00:27.120
unhinged his posts on social media at first drew chuckles from people but now they've reached a
00:00:31.040
point where people are seriously starting to get concerned about his state of mind i mean
00:00:34.800
people don't joke about making wellness checks on coin any longer it becomes evident he's really
00:00:38.880
actually suffering a mental health breakdown over this coins far from alone i mean on either side of
00:00:43.920
the border we see this you only need to tune in and watch the coven of harridans hosting the view for
00:00:48.560
any given 10 minutes to see how bad trump derangement syndrome can be the show used to cover a variety of
00:00:53.440
topics now it's just a daily rerun of hyperventilating over trump's win and hyperbolic predictions of what
00:00:58.640
he'll do when he while he's in office the extent of the derangements evident in the bags under their
00:01:03.840
eyes his lack of sleep has overpowered their botox injections and facelifts i mean if trump's
00:01:08.480
literally keeping you awake at night you have a problem pundits and politicians they've got to take
00:01:13.680
a controlled reaction to trump's presidency and start looking at how they're going to interact with it
00:01:18.800
he's going to be in whether you like it or not blindly opposing trump on all issues while
00:01:22.240
insulting demands only going to harm canada's already fragile economy further national political
00:01:27.600
commentators and leftist politicians they've been aghast that premier daniel smith's going to be
00:01:31.920
traveling to washington for trump's inauguration in january are they complete fools have they no clue
00:01:37.280
whatsoever about diplomacy and trade let's put the numbers out there alberta exports about 80 billion
00:01:42.560
a year in products to the usa canada as a country exports 438 billion annually south of the border and we
00:01:49.440
import 277 billion dollars every year we're very dependent on maintaining a solid relationship it's
00:01:56.000
our largest trading partner and it's sheer idiocy to be antagonizing the incoming president
00:02:01.600
trump was elected on a protectionist mandate and let's face it he has a vindictive streak
00:02:05.600
it doesn't take much goading to push him over the edge and uh have him bring even heavier
00:02:10.960
tariffs on trade goods from you know within canada i mean we got headlines painting him as the second
00:02:14.960
coming of hitler he's not going to feel much sympathy when he brings those tariffs in the
00:02:19.200
trudeau liberals are swirling the drain in public support and they haven't managed to chip away at
00:02:22.960
polyev's popularity so they've been pivoting towards attacking trump and a desperate bid to
00:02:27.120
draw support for themselves this tactic won't change the political fortunes of the liberal party
00:02:31.120
but it will harm canada trudeau doesn't have a good track record of putting the needs of the nation
00:02:35.840
ahead of his own unfortunately diplomacy is a delicate art leaders don't want to be too deferential to each
00:02:41.840
other but they also must maintain a level of respect for each other even if they don't like
00:02:45.360
each other smith's proactive approach to working with the new administration will surely benefit
00:02:50.000
alberta the benefits of reproach though might be wiped right out if trudeau continues to take shots
00:02:54.400
at trump while canada's uh subservient legacy media pundits cheer justin on you don't have to
00:03:01.040
like the orange man i'm not terribly fond of him i really do wish the republicans could have chosen
00:03:05.440
somebody a little more rational to represent them but in the end though it's their choice and trump
00:03:09.440
is who we must deal with rather than having a self-destructive four-year temper tantrum over
00:03:13.920
trump's presidency we should be in discussion with how we can pragmatically deal with it
00:03:17.760
step one to such a plan would be to quit attacking the guy if you're locked in a room with a
00:03:21.600
rattlesnake yeah trying to pet it probably isn't a good idea but provoking it's even a worse idea
00:03:26.640
figure out how to live with it until you can both leave the room don't let yourself be overwhelmed by
00:03:30.960
trump derangement syndrome and don't let your friends succumb to it either the condition's
00:03:34.560
contagious and it'll harm us more than covet ever did if it keeps spreading you survived the last
00:03:39.120
four-year term of trump and you're going to survive this one it's on you though if you want to come out
00:03:42.880
of this term with a semblance of mental stability don't be like poor andrew coin he's living in a
00:03:48.160
miserable place of his own creation and it's not doing anybody any favors
