    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.

    When he looked at a vet with a missing leg and said "you are asking more than we can give", he set the bar low for himself...

    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).

    I've been getting a kick out of Twitter lately.

    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.

    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!"

    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.

    The president thinks the balancing of the nation’s books is going to, ultimately, be a future president’s problem.

    To be fair to Trump, this is pretty much the offical anthem of the Baby Boomers. It's not just him.

    His face at the funeral, probably thinking to himself how he won't ever get the same level of respect as Bush at his own funeral.
