Two seemingly opposite and unrelated things can both be true.
Trump may well be mentally ill and people supposedly suffering from “Trump Derangement Syndrome” may, in fact, have made a highly accurate assessment of that raging buffoon.
Similarly the administrators of many of the medical universities in North America may be causing irreparable damage to health care in the US and Canada through their near insane woke nonsense while those (like the author of this excellent article) are derided and stripped of authority.
I happen to be among a probably small minority who believe that both postulates are true.
Trump, "that raging buffoon," governed for four years with moderate and sound policies that made people, especially minorities, prosperous, safe, and in a world with enemies in retreat. Compare with Biden-Harris impoverishment, danger, and unconstitutional violations of civil right. Try judging people by what they do rather than by your subjective impression.
Yes. Trump says many cringe-worthy things. He always has. This is part of his persona, his "schtick". Many times I hear him say something egregiously, gratuitously stupid, and I just wince. However, as you say, he is fairly effective, when compared to most of the alternatives.
His uncle was a physics professor at MIT of some renown. Trump might appear to be a clown, and he does tell a lot of jokes. But he is shockingly shrewd more often than not, in spite of a famously long list of failed businesses. He somehow manages to recover and continue after, however. He is sort of a showman, and a bit of a schlocky salesman. He rubs many the wrong way, however...
Why does anyone in Canada have to concern themselves with Trump and TDS?
Canadians and other foreigners do not really quite understand the US political system and current events in the US. I know it took me several years after I arrived in the US before I started to understand. Even my most conservative Canadian friends still living in Canada seem to have completely bizarre opinions about what is going on right now in the US.
Whatever Trump does, or tries to do, Canada should look after its own affairs. I think Canada is in real trouble, even worse than the trouble the US finds itself in. And the US is in existential trouble, make no mistake about it.
And what does Trump have to do with Canadian healthcare?
I fully admit Trump is coarse and often his own worst enemy. And he did not deal with the pandemic optimally. However, very few did, to be honest. At the time, we were not aware of some of the most important information that existed, and we had a lot of censorship going on, globally. I am not sure that is due to Trump, particularly.
I would like to see a global inquiry into the pandemic, like the Nuremberg Trials. But that is unlikely under Trump, I will admit. However, the situation the US finds itself in is so precarious that even something as necessary and vital as an inquiry might have to wait for a bit.
Ah yes, I was just reminded that Dave blocked me. I have no idea why, since I have never interacted with him before, as far as I know. But, whatever. There are all manner of strange characters here on the internet.
Well, perhaps. But I did not think it was going to happen because of the current atmosphere in the US. We need someone who is willing to be brutally aggressive, or else the US might be finished. We need a bulldozer, and Trump is the closest thing we have to a bulldozer.
I could make plenty of comments about the international disgrace Canada has become, but what is the point?

Did you watch his press conference last week?
Watch what he does.

Canadians often follow US politics. I don’t know why but my parents always did.
I followed them too before I moved to the US. However, being in Canada (or Europe or Australia) you do not quite understand the nuances.
It took me years of living in the US before it started to make sense to me.
It’s unfortunate that the Republicans didn’t nominate someone else (of course I’m not an American).
