This reminds me of the story about Ferdinand the Bull :

Young Ferdinand does not enjoy butting heads with other young bulls, preferring instead to sit under a cork tree smelling the flowers. His mother is concerned that he might be lonely and tries to persuade him to play with the other calves, but when she sees that Ferdinand is content as he is, she leaves him alone.

Ferdinand grows to be the biggest bull in the herd and he often spends time alone. All the other bulls dream of being chosen to compete in the bullfights in Madrid, but Ferdinand still prefers smelling the flowers instead. One day, five men come to the pasture to choose a bull for the bullfights. Ferdinand is again on his own, sniffing flowers, when he accidentally sits on a bumblebee. Upon getting stung as a result, he runs wildly across the field, snorting and stamping. Mistaking Ferdinand for a mad and aggressive bull, the men dub him "Ferdinand the Fierce" and take him away to Madrid.

Lol ... i've heard Mr. Trump called all manner of things but never " The Bee. "

To be a little more concise:

Socialist governments tend to be rather complacent sometimes. They're kinda like old Ferdinand in that way. They're content to just sit around the field smelling the flowers all day.

Take a guy like Mr. Trump. Now that man is a business shark. He thrives on disrupting the status quo and creating chaos because it creates opportunities for positive change & growth. He knows that this world is a very competitive place where complacency = a slow death.

You Canadians may be furious with him but he knows that you are really capitalists and not socialists. You just needed someone to come along and give you a good sting in the behind to remind you of that.

Whoo boy .... look at you guys snorting and stomping around the field and acting like bulls should act. Stand proud and be fully independent of your neighbor to the South. Make Canada Great Again !
