President Donald Trump’s MAGA allies were in a frenzy of conspiracy theories Friday after former President Barack Obama greeted Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at a think-tank event in Toronto.
A video, posted by Carney on X, shows him shaking hands with the former president, before Obama also greets the prime minister’s wife, Diana Fox Carney. Obama was in town to deliver a keynote address at a gala for Canada 2020, a progressive think-tank that advocates for inclusivity. Obama and Carney have known each other on a professional level since at least 2008, when he was the U.S. president and the PM served as Governor of the Bank of Canada.
Why is Barack Hussein Obama meeting with world leaders while President Trump is in office?
This is a coup. https://t.co/yqu5Ck5BVv
