The frog has been cooking one degree at a time for Canada over 30 years. And a shrewd person would have said, let's keep this game going. Let's maybe turn it up two degrees at a time, but don't turn it up too much that you freak out the frog and it jumps out of the pot. And I think Trump thought he had such dominance.
