We didn't make a czar, we are changing the title of a position that already exists. Just because Trump is a bully doesn't mean he can't be placated by sweet nothings that caress his ego.

If Trump wants to play a game, we can play too. If you think that's rolling over, that's a you problem. Trump is obviously using this situation to allow him to declare a false national emergency to bypass Congress. These actions are technically illegal under both US and international law.

In a world where lying had consequences, this wouldn't be happening. To expect Trudeau to fight back aggressively against a nation with the most powerful military in the world while it's controlled by the most volatile and capricious politician in modern history is to expect it to rain cream soda - i.e., it's stupid.
