“No one in this world, so far as I know — and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me — has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.”

Maybe the 'woman of the people' will hole up in one of Beyonce's mansions and have a good cry.

And why hasn't she made her second-place speech yet to all Americans and her followers?

Likely he will keep doing the job but as a Lame Duck, accept what happened and on the 20th walk away and hopefully he lives the rest of his life in peace.
With all the ice cream he can stomach, on demand, 24/7. He’s done his time + 20yrs.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau congratulated Donald Trump early Wednesday morning on his second United States presidential election win.

"The friendship between Canada and the U.S. is the envy of the world. I know President Trump and I will work together to create more opportunity, prosperity, and security for both of our nations," Trudeau said in a post on social media.
Trudeau and the Liberals have also tried to draw parallels between Conservative Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre and Trump's "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) movement, which has fuelled debate on issues like abortion and transgender rights.

"What we're seeing from these MAGA conservatives is an approach on going back on fundamental rights in ways we shouldn't be seeing," Trudeau said in a 2023 year-end interview with The Canadian Press. "We may think to ourselves, 'This will never happen in Canada and this is just the Liberals bringing up the usual fear that they do.' I'm sorry, it wasn't ever supposed to happen in the United States either, and yet it did because of MAGA conservatism. The threat is real."

Trudeau took another thinly-veiled swipe at Trump when speaking to the Council on Foreign Relations in New York last year.

Ahead of polls closing and Trump defeating Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris to become the 47th president, Trudeau and several cabinet ministers said they were ready to work with whomever Americans elected to defend Canadian interests. Oh well.

"The relationship between Trudeau and Trump is poor," political scientist Aaron Ettinger told CTVNews.ca. "If Trump is elected and Trudeau remains prime minister, they would be restarting the relationship from a place of mistrust."
