Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts, yet millions still defend him without question. Why? When someone uses cult tactics, legal consequences don’t damage their image; they can be twisted to reinforce it. He casts himself as a victim, a martyr. The system’s out to get him.

It needs to be codified into law as a crime to stop the denialism of the pain & suffering of my late parents & many others in the Indian residential school system. Absolutely disgusting behaviour by Rebel News & True North.

If the Debates Commission can pull the Greens from the debate at the last second, they can certainly revoke press access for propaganda outfits like Rebel News and True North using the platform to spread residential school denialism, hate, and misinformation.

USA accounts for 15% of international trade. The rest of the world holds 85% leverage over the US so Trump using this as a bargaining chip has a huge backlash risk and reality for the US economy.
