Huge fan of yours, John! Love that you’re on Substack. I’m not sure I could name another in media with your level of smarts and integrity. Keep on keeping on!

All of the above was self-fulfilling prophecy anyone with a grade-school education (a dunce like me, even!) knew from the outset. It still beggars belief this is the road down which he’s taken your country (I’m Canadian) and the world. Just economic idiocy on par with every other idiotic thing he does.

I hate that his divisiveness has driven a wedge between our two countries, and I’m often derided when I use folks like you to defend the American people as not, in the main, just apolitical reflections of their buffoon in chief. It’s a tough case to make some days, but I refuse to invoke “rupture” because of what I hope will just be a bad dream from which we’ll wake up anew… at some point in the future. 🤞
