The Atlantic have a story today of their interview with Trump. The remarkable thing about this piece is that Trump cancelled his formal interview with them in a childish tantrum. But a few days later the journos called him on his private phone and he answered and then gave them an impromptu interview.

Our security procedures are a joke

He says there are no negatives, but I’m pretty sure Canadians would count being American as a pretty big negative

We are perversely fond of free speech, universal access to health care, etc. Weird that way.

But there is also the very basic fact that we are not American. It may not be the obvious difference between Germans and French, we may not be radically different from the people who live just across the border from us, but there is a difference most of us feel. It just never used to have any hostility to it for most of us

But yes, wholly out of touch.

It really should be a genuine scandal that the president is repeatedly claiming the existence of international negotiations that other countries are denying flat out exist.

That is the point I was making. Candians would see being classed as American a fucking big negative.
