“Trump sort of gleefully said, ‘Once I became a presence in the Canadian elections, I really turned it into a close call; I kind of threw it from the Conservatives to the Liberals,'” Parker told Mercedes Stephenson in an interview that aired Sunday on the West Block.

“That’s not his political ideology, but he seemed positively delighted at what he saw as the outsized influence he had in another country’s elections.”

A narcissist never loses. And if he does, he still won. Also, attention is more important than winning. Though he won.
