Well, it has happened: Donald Trump has been convicted on 34 counts of fraud. I lost a bet on that one. I was convinced he would be acquitted. Instead, Donald Trump is the first President of the United States of America to become a felon, at least until the appeals process winds its way through all of this. Whether you like him or hate him, that is a historic moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think about it. Twelve men and women, without a single dissenter, found Trump to be guilty on 34 counts. That means that hands went up 408 times to create one solitary outcome. All it would have taken is for one of those jurors to raise their hand supporting an acquittal of the former President, and he would not have been convicted. It didn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people who read my articles know by now that I believe Donald Trump should never be near the White House again. If he is, it will result in chaos in that country, significant concerns in most of the Western world, and potentially serious consequences in Canada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That being said, I want to address an issue that raised its head this past week when Doppler published a commentary titled \u201cAn alternate view on Trump<\/span><\/a>,\u201d submitted by an American citizen, Hibberd Kline III.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We received a lot of pushback on this. One person asked why we would publish an article from an American with no connection to Muskoka, especially as Doppler prides itself on encouraging comments from people who have a connection here. To set that record straight, Hibberd Kline does have connections to Muskoka, and he is someone I know and respect, although we often disagree on issues related to Donald Trump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least as important, however, is Doppler\u2019s belief that effective dialogue often requires comment on both sides of an issue. Contrary to what some people may believe, while we sometimes express strong opinions, we have always encouraged respectful comments and commentary from people who have alternate views. In that spirit, we make no apology for publishing the commentary submitted by Hibberd Kline. It was the right thing to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, we know that regular contributors Hugh Holland and Dave Wilkin often have very different views on energy and climate issues. Another regular commentator, Anna-Lise Kear, has to dig very deep to find something to agree with me on, especially if it has anything to do with the current Ontario government. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of that is okay. We consider it to be responsible journalism. There are times, of course, that we cannot post a comment or commentary because it borders on hate or libel. Sadly, some of that occurred in relation to Hibberd Kline\u2019s commentary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not able to agree with Hibberd Kline that Donald Trump should be re-elected under any circumstances. There is, however, a thread in his article that not only holds some validity but also addresses the most disturbing factor that could re-elect Donald Trump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hibberd Kline is a lawyer and a former Marine who lives in Missouri. It is not surprising that he is a Republican or that he has conservative leanings. However, he is not a cultist, and he has not swallowed the Kool-Ade. He knows that Trump did not win the 2020 election. His article clearly reflects that he is well aware of Trump\u2019s character and failings. He would prefer it if Nicky Haley were the Republican nominee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But he believes that current President Joe Biden has done a terrible job over the last four years.  He cannot get past that, and so he says he will \u201chold his nose\u201d and vote for Donald Trump as he is, in his mind, the lesser of two evils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And therein, to me, lies the rub.  Donald Trump cannot, alone, get elected by only his cultist MAGA base. He also will need the support of Republicans who have his number and know exactly who he is and the harm he could do as President. These are people who are generally fair-minded but are faced with an alternative they cannot accept, and so, they too will hold their collective noses and vote for Donald Trump.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My sense is that there are many Republicans who find themselves in that position, between a rock and a hard place but will nevertheless vote for Donald Trump as the lesser of two evils. If there are enough of them, it will be these good people and not the MAGA extremists who make Donald Trump the next President of the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, we have a different system here in Canada. If we have a problem with both of the front runners, there are other political parties we can vote for whose candidates have a record of getting elected, unlike third-party candidates in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Also, although our political leaders are not perfect, none of them\u2014and I include both Justin Trudeau and Pierre Poilievre\u2014have the preponderance of almost overwhelming character flaws of Donald Trump. I know that there are some who will disagree strongly with me about this, but hey… as I said earlier in this article, that\u2019s okay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cannot see a day in Canada when millions of people take to the streets because they didn\u2019t get their way in an election. But there is a good chance in the United States that will happen. Donald Trump has already predicted that there would be \u201ca bloodbath\u201d if he is not re-elected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s conviction has already resulted in cries for civil unrest. His base is anything but inactive. A multitude of MAGA senators, people from a political party that normally strongly upholds the rule of law, now attack it because their guy ran up against it. The reaction of MAGA supporters has been angry and threatening.  Trump\u2019s campaign has garnered more than $50 million since the trial in New York ended just a few days ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is my own view that Donald Trump should not be put in jail. In a recent speech, he almost asked for it. That is because he knows that the more, from his point of view, he is persecuted, the stronger his chances are of being re-elected. He wants to be seen as a martyr, and yes, he wants to see people in the street just as he did on January 6, 2021. I simply would not give him that opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One way or another, the year or so ahead is going to be traumatic. America is divided. There is a realistic chance that whatever the result of the presidential election this November, it could lead to a civil war.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That will not be good for anyone.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
