We found the video of Justin Trudeau getting ignored by Donald Trump at today's UN Secretary General's luncheon - three camera angles of Justin tapping Trump on the shoulder but it only lasts a split second around the 25 sec mark then repeated around the 46 sec mark #NAFTA #UNGA pic.twitter.com/gwN8SghY27— JohnToryWatch (@JohnToryWatch) September 25, 2018
Fortune/Bloomberg: What Does Donald Trump Think of Canada's Justin Trudeau? Watch Their UN Handshake
If body language at a UN luncheon is any hint, Justin Trudeau is still in Donald Trump’s doghouse.
The U.S. president and Canadian prime minister attended the same luncheon at the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Tuesday, but it was hardly a warm encounter. The two mingled near each other but didn’t speak before Trump sat down for lunch. Trudeau then approached Trump, standing behind him without the president appearing to acknowledge him. Trudeau tapped him on the shoulder and the men shook hands in a brief exchange. Trump didn’t stand up.

WNU Editor: Cannot tell much from the above video. To me it looks like President Trump is more focused on the menu than talking to Canadian PM Trudeau. But it is true that U.S. - Canadian relations are not in the best shape right now, and it is not helped by the constant anti-Trump coverage in the Canadian news media by Canadian Liberal allies and supporters.
Update: It looks like the White House has given up on doing a NAFTA deal with Canada, which was one of the reasons why Canadian Prime Minister went to this UN General Assembly .... Trump snubs Trudeau, says he's too busy to meet him even though he finds time to hold private talks with British, French counterparts (MEAWW).
Making a story out of nothing - Trump clearly shakes the mans hand, and there is no indication of a snub at all.
ReplyDeleteI'm here to tell you, Obama recruited Trudeau to the #Resistance against Trump in the early days. Trudeau was arrogant and stupid enough to join in. This is his reward. Merkel too was an early member, in fact the membership was documented by Obama himself when Trump took his first European trip. Obama, like a scavenger, followed in his wake meeting with heads of states, Merkel was one of them.
ReplyDeleteNations ought to learn not to meddle in other's domestic politics. What does Trudeau get out of this? Serious economic damage in exchange for his feeling good about himself.
I tend to agree. It seems like a club that -under the real or perceived Russia threat/hysteria acted like an immune system. They always didn't like Trump (I didn't too at the beginning) and then fell for this Russia narrative and actively worked against him. While I'm sort of for that, it shows us two things 1) they were willing to overturn/work against/sabotage/resist an elected president without evidence 2) they couldn't be sure/didn't have good Intel either way. That's why they overreacted to be on the safe side (hating him just made it easy to cross the bridge from disagreeing to obstructing and sabotaging). And the media - largely to make money but also to advance their ideology/political favourites - jumped right on board and whipped everyone in a panic. That's what now gives us people like Trudeau and Fred. Resisters without evidence. Endear campaigns against judges. Assault on republicans. Intimidation. And worst of all. .Fred posting stupid lefties narratives all day long haha
DeleteIf it wasn't for Trump, Trudeau would be drinking tea everyday with the Queen of England or in the Caribbean laughing at us suckers!
