First, his cruel immigration policy drew international condemnation for its abuses of human rights. Then, an American federal judge ordered his administration to fully restore the Dream Act, which simplified the immigration process for young people brought illegally to the country as infants.

This week, Trump inadvertently revealed that his campaign staff was indeed seeking dirt on Hillary Clinton in a meeting with a Russian agent in 2016. 

His misery is Canada's joy, which is why the latest news about the Canadian economy is so, so sweet.

Canada is officially winning the trade war that Trump began as part of his regressive policy of economic protectionism.
