Trump and the Politics of Pathology | The Tyee The strongman catastrophist summons the worst in us. Why do so many heed his call?

Doug Ford has a plan to hit Trump hard. And it’s good. Ford has laid out a plan to hit the United States hard in response to Trump’s attack on Canada’s economy and sovereignty. You could write a book about Ford’s failures β€” but his approach to dealing wit...
