The bar that is set for Trudeau is on him...no one else.
Well, no; it's other people setting that bar. That's HFD's point. But it is on him to exceed it by a wide margin, which shouldn't be difficult.
The operative phrase here being 'by a wide margin'.
We need to keep the bar really high and not be simply relieved that we don't have a moron in office. That being said, I'm not impressed. I voted for him, but I don't think I can again. For my personal set of values... he's been a disappointment.
I'll concede that the legalization of dope was a major feat though that cannot be understated.

I'm going to have to educate myself more on what he's been up to. I have been admittedly more invested in American politics over the past 2 years than Canadian. By a mile.

I'm hearing what Hugh is saying about the comparison... but this is freakin' funny.
All other issues aside, I remember seeing that clip of Trudeau (the whole thing) when it happened, and I was duly impressed by the fact that he knew that and knew how to explain it in a way that made sense to anyone. That was legitimately off the cuff apparently ... Not everyone knows the difference between binary and quantum computing to say the least, lol.
HFD does make a good point about how low the bar for comparison is here when Trump is the comparison... This is the same for all the leaders though. Poeple are often doing the same with the leaders from Germany, Mexico, even Russia FFS. Trump makes EVERYONE look great. (as for Trudeau himself - I think he's doing a reasonably good job in general. I very much dislike a few things he's done (obviously the pipeline purchase was the biggest shit show by far), though none of those things surprised me. Some other things he's done average with, other things he really couldn't have controlled in any case. He did keep some major campaign promises that were important to me, and he made them happen pretty damn efficiently, all things considered. I think he's doing a more than adequate job. He's handled trade negotiations as well as anyone could have, for one thing. And I'm quite sure he'll be reelected, and I'm good with that. I will vote for him again ... not that that's saying much, considering the competition; there really aren't any other decent options at all).

There are several tweets describing exactly how low the bar is for the US right now when the country is feeling good about the fact that Donald never ruined a high profile funeral lol.

Yeah really. I'm kind of expecting to hear the news media making comments about how maybe the Presidency is finally on the right track because Trump actually made it through funeral day without totally offending the Bush family or completely humiliating himself along with the entire country, lol.

I'm waiting for Trump's own tweets promoting the positive ratings for his acting like a normal human being today...
To me, he looked like the most miserable prick in the room...
Quite honestly, he did not deserve to be in a room with so many dignified people ... a room with bars is more suitable.
Arms folded with a scowl on his face the whole time. Yeah.
Can't you just seem him sending out a tweet like this though? "Such a beautiful ceremony for G HW Bush. Many people are saying everything went so smoothly and we're getting such great credit for that! Thank you!"

Disrespectful un-patriotic lying piece of racist Russian bought shit......
Head down is disrespectful? I need to see the whole video of this...did he do more than that? Cause I would think many in prayer would do the same thing. He is an idiot though so maybe he doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt here.

That’s not a moment of prayer. Regardless, who cares? Much bigger things of substance going on. Probably pissed he was taken away from his executive time.

I don't know about that. I'm not very religious, but if a casket was walked by me, I'd likely put my head down in thought. But you are right, lots of bigger issues.

Everyone not in the aisle has their hand on their heart. Since it's a still photo and I don't know exactly what's going on at this moment, I suppose I cannot quite say he's breaking the norm or being disrespectful. But when Trump's the only one not doing something meant to be respectful, his history (and our "TDS") will lead us there. But at least he didn't do it in a tan suit.

So when is he going exceed it? Or am asking more than he can give...only a real chump looks at a wounded vet and says that. What can we do, that's peoplekind for you...

Trump on Coming Debt Crisis: ‘I Won’t Be Here’ When It Blows Up
The president thinks the balancing of the nation’s books is going to, ultimately, be a future president’s problem.
Bahahahahahahahaha
