While I understand the impulse to not upset the President of the United States, I also see how he reverses direction when met with polite but firm opposition. Canada for example. He is like a damaged child, he follows a pattern of behaviour that is clearly predictable. Trudeau, as Canada is acting like an experienced, loving but firm parent, and it works - possibly because that is what he needs, and wants, and has never had.
Appeasement never works when we face bullies, naughty children, or insane people. We need to remember who we are, what we believe to be right, and have the strength of courage to stand up for those things. Kowtowing to those who don't is joining them, not beating them.
I can't help seeing the slightly bitter irony in the fact that, despite being the world's most gun-happy country it was somewhow the two most rotten shots in the entire country who decided to take a pot shot at their glorious leader...

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
