Carney comments on Trump in presser after G7 summit [View all]
Found this on my facebook feed this am:
At a G7 press conference yesterday, Carney took a range of questions. To me, these two stand out.
JP Tasker, CBC News asked Carney: President Trump says tariffs are simple, and what you're proposing to resolve the trade dispute is complex. What's he talking about? What have you pitched that's complex?
Carney thinks, then says: Complexity is in the eye of the beholder, sometimes.
HIT: Trump stable genius notion falls like a big, fat, orange sitting duck.

Justin Ling, Freelancer asked: I wonder what you make of [Trump's] comments suggesting that it was personally offensive to Vladimir Putin to kick him out of the G7 after the invasion of Crimea.
Carney replied: With respect to... personally offensive... to put it mildly... the citizens of Ukraine and the inhabitants of Crimea when Russia invaded, in 2014 -- was the cause of their ejection from the G8.
HIT: Trump's factually incorrect support for Putin is blown away, and the bullseye is moved onto Trump's loving allegiance to Putin.

In the press shooting gallery, Carney is a marksman.
