Carney inviting Zelensky was chef's kiss perfection. That is going to drive Trump absolutely bananas when the other G7 leaders are nice to him and give him more attention than Trump.

I hope they give him the Putin treatment and isolate Trump.

Then he'll pout and leave 2 days early.

Great job by Carney to keep his mouth shut when Trump repeatedly blamed Trudeau for kicking Russia out of the G7.

Serious question, could Trump pick Stephen Harper out of a lineup of old white guys? I really don't think he could.

I thought playing "Fortunate Son" might have been a form of protest to draft dodging Trump as well, but something subtle like that would probably go right over his head anyway.

Blaming 'some fellow named Trudeau' when Harper was the PM when it was done after Russia invaded Crimea is just blaming whoever he doesnt like and classic trumpian stupidity. Facts dont matter.

Exactly. Trump just plain hates Trudeau and will attempt to disparage him at any opportunity, facts be damned.

Every time I think Trump being a Russian plant is ridiculous he does something like this and shows up to a press conference repeatedly reciting lines Putin told him to say, and even admitting Putin told him to say it.

We should blame Trump for something before he was president.

Is WWII too early?

Felt more like a military themed Macy's parade or a bigger Stampede parade lol. Just causal walking, no marching. I was half expecting military style floats or balloons.

There’s nothing stupid about it. Trump knows his base is the stupidest electorate in the history of democracy and that they’ll believe whatever he pulls out of his ass, every time.

Trump had the bust of MLK Jr removed from the Oval Office. Reportedly it's been moved to the Dining Room but they haven't provided any proof.

Quote:
A MeidasTouch review of images from the Oval Office reveals the image of the civil right leader was present in April during the visit of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Its removal appears to have happened sometime after that visit.
The move also comes as Trump continues to host right-wing activist Charlie Kirk at the White House. Kirk, a vocal critic of Dr. King’s legacy, has publicly questioned whether the MLK federal holiday should be repealed and has called the Civil Rights Act of 1964 a “mistake.”

During a press briefing in Alberta, Canada, with British Prime Minister Kier Starmer, Trump remarked, “You all know the great PM of the UK, and we just signed a document.” He continued, “We just signed it, and so we have our trade agreement with the EU.”
Hey Donny. Have you ever heard of Brexit?

Why do they keep calling it Alberta Canada. Do people say DC USA when people are in Washington.
