And, although it was rather subtle, compared to SCROTUS' obvious arm yanking, PM Trudeau ever-so-slightly pulled Trumplethinskin's arm toward him.

It is that Trudeau is much better looking and more popular than Trump ever will be -- and, Trump knows it. I expect early AM Trump tweets tomorrow that boast how good looking and popular he is compared to any other world leader. He probably will also say how he won more votes than the prime minister because he doesn't know how parliamentary systems work.

a hell of a lot smarter, much more successful at a younger age, from a TRULY excellent family background, slim build while Trump has gotten huge and looks even more pig-eyed, beautiful and very accomplished wife who clearly adores him (while w/Dump it seems fairly clear that Melania hates him as much as everyone else at this point?!), etc etc etc and Trump KNOWS it.

He looked like a petulant little child, pouting, pissy, fumbling awkwardly w/earpiece when Trudeau was speaking French (did Trump take ANY FOREIGN LANGUAGES EVER? Bush spoke Spanish at least!), not answering any questions (even FOX is making fun of the absurd questions that Trump didn't even answer -- Trump can't even answer the planted (imho) questions?!), slumping over the podium, looking even fatter (well over 300 pounds now), clearly had never read the "statement" -- what an absolute mess.

I'm sure your 4th grader could have given a much better rendition--even though the writing was atrocious. Um...you don't happen to have a 6th grader, do you?
