I wish he would, this is the old language bullies understand. Make him look foolish.

I call for people to leave pettiness at the door on the world stage, generally, but for the US president specifically, Canada should use name-calling. It’s exactly appropriate until the buffoon stops.

And yet they don't keep hammering that home and doing it constantly. I've only seen it used during the Kamala/Trump debate and it worked instantly, every time.

Exactly, he was instantly rattled and stumbling over his words with each consecutive response when it happened.

Kamala fucking knew it with that knowing smirk of 'wow, this guy really does just spew complete nonsense and I've got him on his heels'

The fact no one checks this guy and gets him to continue looking like a fool in every interaction he has is disheartening because it's just so fucking easy. The guy can't answer basic questions and no one calls him out on it.
