" Donald Trump has reacted furiously to footage of world leaders apparently making fun of him, calling Justin Trudeau “two-faced” then cancelling a press conference and cutting short his attendance at a Nato summit.
The US president was asked whether he had seen the clip in which his international counterparts appeared to joke about his explosive press conference with Emmanuel Macron, and his erratic diplomatic style, at Tuesday night’s Buckingham Palace reception.
“You just watched his team’s jaws drop to the floor!” Mr Trudeau apparently said of Mr Trump while speaking with Boris Johnson, Mr Macron, Mark Rutte and Princess Anne.
“Well, he’s two-faced,” Mr Trump said of the Canadian prime minister when questioned on Wednesday afternoon, and suggested the unguarded comments were based in frustration at US demands that Canada contribute more to Nato."
What a mess. Do you think Mr Trudeau is two-faced?
And thus you see the lie put to the Trump the Alpha Male narrative again. A real dude like that would show up and needle them constantly about it, knowing that decorum prevents them from doing anything but profusely apologizing.
I think Trump’s presidency can be summed up by the mocking laugh fest of world leaders…surprisingly including Boris Johnson- someone who would seem naturally allied with Trump.
Yup. A real leader would have sucked it up and stayed at the conference because it’s in the country’s best interests to be there. Instead we’re stuck with Trump, who loves to insult people but can’t handle being insulted.
