The President of the United States is low-key obsessed with Canada, and it’s getting, like, a little embarrassing.
Back in 2017, Mr. Trump called then-prime minister Justin Trudeau “a man who has become a friend of mine” and said the two leaders had “a very good relationship.” The sentiment didn’t last long, perhaps because the Canadian leader represented, at the time, a lot of what Mr. Trump was not: young, popular, competent. Or perhaps Mr. Trump was salty that he couldn’t replicate former president Barack Obama’s bromance with Mr. Trudeau. Whatever the cause, after leaving early from the G7 Summit in Quebec in June, 2018, Mr. Trump tweeted that Mr. Trudeau “acted so meek and mild during our @G7 meetings,” before calling him “very dishonest & weak.”
The Globe and Star have switched places.
