WASHINGTON—Top advisers to U.S. President Donald Trump heaped unprecedented insults on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Sunday, bringing U.S.-Canada relations to a modern low — in an attempt, one of the advisers suggested, to impress North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.

In interviews on CNN on Fox News, Trump’s top economic adviser, Larry Kudlow, and one of his top aides on trade, Peter Navarro, slammed Trudeau with a series of disparaging adjectives, from “amateurish” to “dishonest,” and accused him of a backstabbing “betrayal” of the president.

It was unclear why Trump and his aides have suddenly begun speaking of Trudeau this way. Until Kudlow explained: Trump is attacking Trudeau because he is trying to show Kim that he is tough.

Never before have senior White House officials gone on television and made such claims about Canada’s leader. The rhetoric was particularly striking given Trump’s positive words this week about Kim, a brutal totalitarian.

1. Watch the Markets go straight to hell tomorrow.

Some of us had a bad feeling that Trump would do his Bully Thing on Canada.

4. I can't believe this insane pResident and his shit talking administration!

These fuckers have jumped off a cliff and gone full fascist!

I hope wall street tanks!

Maybe those asshole republicans will try to rein in their Frankenstein monster!

[Wellstone ruled]

7. Well this has been Trump's M O

his whole life.

The warning signs as well as evidence of what to expect,has been in plain site. Many of us have been yelling to the roof tops about this Guy.

The Guy is pure Bullshit from the get go.

[workinclasszero]

9. No doubt

He is a life long con and liar. Mobbed up too.

Every sign was there but millions looked the other way because their hate of gays, PoC and libs is more important to them.

Oh and the MSM said there is no difference between the GOP and the Democratic party, of course.

[Wellstone ruled]

12. Frustrating to

watch all this crap and so little push back from the Power Brokers.

Just can not imagine how disturbing all this is to the People on the European Contentment were they take Politics in a personal way.

[bluecollar2]

13. If wall street tanks as you hope

A lot of working stiffs are going to lose their retirement funds.

The wealthy and their banks will be able to weather the storm. The rest of us...not so much.

Careful what you wish for.

[workinclasszero]

16. Well they can join me then

My pitiful 401K was wiped out in Bush Jr's Great Recession.

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one in this boat.

Elections have consequences as millions of working class dumb ass deplorables are soon to find out.

[former9thward]

21. Hope you have not been too disappointed today...

[former9thward]

20. I'm watching.

Markets are up....

[TeddyBear 1]

2. Trump is truly insulting to Canada!

[MineralMan]

3. Trump is a feckless boor.

Always.

[cabot]

5. I was just going to post this!

Unbelievable. Be sure to vote in the poll.

[workinclasszero]

8. If you are Canadian I am so sorry

that Trump and his fascist GOP are insulting one of the greatest democratic nations on this earth, Canada!

It's a shameful time in our history, many millions of Americans are devastated by these terrible events, believe me.

[cabot]

11. I am Canadian

I feel for you Americans who have to deal with this fool. He's a human wrecking ball.

That said, I'm probably not going to visit the US until he's out of office. I just can't stomach the thought of going there whilst that ass is in power.

[workinclasszero]

17. By all means, stay at home in your beautiful country

and thank God you were born there.

How lucky you are!

[renate]

22. thank you, that's kind of you to say

I'm so sorry. I really hope that most Canadians know that most of us are as shocked and gobsmacked as you are.

My gosh, who insults Canadians... it's like a headline from the Onion!

6. Trump is jealous of a young, handsome, and well liked leader.

Plus he probably got ticked off that Trudeau mocked him with the reminder that Trump's grandfather owned a bordello in Canada.

Who the f cares what Larry Kudlow has to say? He's a charlatan, just like his con man boss.

[treestar]

14. And this isn't the first time

he's been jealous of such a person!

Dotard is the loser he accuses others of being!

[Turbineguy]

10. Like the Bond villians.

"Tell him The Plan and then chuck him out the plane!"

[octoberlib]

15. See, the Trump team was planning on Trudeau giving in and he didn't. He called their bluff.

So now they're blathering around like a bunch of enraged lunatics

[FirstLight]

18. Im sick to my stomach...

There is a special place in JAIL ( and hell, if you believe in that) for those who align themselves with this criminal con and i hope when the chips fall here will be indictments deep, far, and wide...

Anyone who aids and abetts this corrupt and crazy reversal of policy, heckling the world, money laundering and kissing up to dictators and murderers deserves to be guillotined in public square!

[duforsure]

19. We'll remember these people 's statements

At their sentencing hearing.
