I’m a journalist formerly at NPR. Also a reader, a runner and a birder. From Wilmington, Delaware, and have always lived within a few miles of I-95. Now a proud New Yorker.
Trump cut funding for the Gateway Tunnel right before the New Jersey governor's race, which the GOP ending up losing, and now, with a senate race coming up in Michigan, he's blocking the opening of a bridge between Detroit and Ontario. It's like he's trying to sabotage Republican chances of winning.

They've been threatening Canada in one way or another for months. It hasn't worked. They don't seem to understand that other countries have national pride just like we do and heads of state can't be seen to give in to bullies.

Trump has a 42 percent approval rating. Don't know why he feels compelled to add "as many Americans are." Or maybe I do know.

Don’t forget he said “fucking bitch.”

Remember how upset people got when Michelle Obama planted a kitchen garden as a way to promote healthy eating?

TV was generally stupid back then. People today don’t realize how much better it is today.
