      Trump save face? Come on, the guy is completely shameless. He doesn’t need to save face, just tell him he’s a good boy and that’s enough.

      Why would we want to let him save face? Let the US collapse and let the world know he did it.

      I love our American brothers and sisters, but that’s exactly why thier “democracy” needs to be burned down. They need to rise from the ashes of this hell.

      He’s so selfish and arrogant that catering to his ego will be critical. I think he’d prefer a crummy deal that lets him look good, over a great deal that embarrasses him. He doesn’t care what’s best for the USA long term; he’d rather look good now.

      It doesn’t matter if Trump loses. Trump will lie about the outcome and the cult will lap it up.

        Guess that depends on your perspective; as a Canadian I have a vested interest in Trump losing. But Trump has a vested interest in being Trump, which includes never admitting defeat. I’d prefer his response not be “Oh yeah? Well I’ve nuked Toronto. Take that!”

      I wonder if he’ll be swapping Trudeau’s “let’s get back to being allies” message for a stronger first impression.
