These comparisons between the US voting in Trump and us electing Trudeau are starting to get very tiresome.
We voted in a charismatic, well spoken leader who had been in politics for nearly a decade and who was running on a solid platform that connected with many people, especially on social issues which were in stark contrast to the opposition parties. Yes he happened to be a teacher in his younger days, Crazy.
That is not even in the same hemisphere as electing a wealthy real estate tycoon who reached stardom by starring in a reality tv show whose campaign literally blurred the line between parody and reality and was full of the most outrageous, offensive, demeaning and backwards comments that even forced his team to take away his access from his own TWITTER ACCOUNT. This man had zero experience in politics, his agenda publicly attacked minority groups, seriously suggested building a walled boarder with a country the US has a free trade agreement with and he insulted the family of a fallen solider because he was muslim. He won simply by taking advantage of the lowest common denominator in the American voting populous.
Get a grip.
