Mathias: yes, you're correct. I used "legions" incorrectly as a descriptor of the Trump defenders here in the Globe comments. Truly, it is a unit of several thousand in the ancient Roman armies. 

RE your assertion that "The focus on Trump and the histrionics around him are truly getting old. Yes, he's largely incompetent and reactionary, but what has he done, for example, that Harper hadn't done before him?"

To that, all I can say is wow. You may be the only person on the planet who would compare a crazy President to an average Prime Minister. 

Forward your resume to Sean Spicer, stat!
