this is utter stupidity.

to begin with, doug ford is the actual village idiot. he's both outrageously ignorant and legitimately an incredibly stupid person. trump is unread, and proud of it, but not an actual idiot. the difference between ford and trump is the difference between ignorance (trump) and stupidity (ford).

in that sense, it's like sending an angry chimp after a lion.

further, you're talking about sending the premier of a subnational state after what is theoretically the most powerful person in the world (trump is likely to end up dead , quickly, if he were to use that power). what leverage does doug ford have? is he going to sit on him?

so, this is utter stupidity. we need game theory, not football game theatrics.

but, we're in the era of stupidity...
