"Trudeau was asked if he was upset that Trump would be leaving early"



Trump hits the world stage, Day 1: Come late, leave early, offend host, alienate allies

The tension appeared to ease a little bit Friday evening, as Trump and Trudeau sat down for a one-on-one session.

"Justin has agreed to cut all tariffs, all trade barriers," Trump joked in a quick exchange with reporters.

"I’d say NAFTA is in good shape," Trudeau replied, playing along for the audience.

Still, Trump noted the awkward dynamics when Trudeau was asked if he was upset that Trump would be leaving early. "Oh, he's happy," Trump said.

The whole thing was a joke to him. He knew he'd piss everyone off, he knew he'd leave empty handed. Trudeau didn't make any bilateral deals with Trump. It was just Trump being a smartass and mugging for reporters.

His body language was like that of a parent with a volatile child. Just let him have his way . . . for now. Trudeau did not say it, Bone Spurs did. Now he’s doing the same thing with Macrone. Bully crap. Don’t buy it.

It's always all about him and his ego. He is such a vulgar, disgusting pig, but he thinks he's being cute and charming.
