He\u2019s a moron.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho do you trust if you\u2019re the average person?\u201d he asked. \u201cDo you trust your average, working class person who has zero political ambitions, or do you trust a politician?\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Comparing the United States to Canada, Dichter said, \u201cBoth of us have a mascot in power who is not making any of the decisions, but is authoritarian by nature, and there\u2019s a group of weasels behind them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJustin Trudeau has no idea what\u2019s going on,\u201d he told Breitbart News. \u201cThey keep him completely isolated.
