Trump was made to look foolish yet again on the world stage in front of world leaders at the London NATO summit. Footage began circulating that showed Trudeau, UK PM Boris Johnson and French leader Emmanuel Macron mocking Trump over his impromptu press conference which resulted in him being late to a meeting with the French president.
The brief video posted on Twitter by Canada's public broadcaster, CBC, showed Trudeau gossiping with a group of leaders, including Johnson, Macron, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, and Queen Elizabeth's daughter Princess Anne at Buckingham Palace.
At the start of the footage, Johnson asked Macron: "Is that why you were late?" Trudeau then interjects: "He was late because he takes a 40-minute press conference off the top." An amused Trudeau later jokes, "Oh yeah, yeah . . . you just watched his team's jaw drop to the floor."
Trump had already been embarrassed by Macron the previous day when the French president called Trump out on his bullshit in front of a group of reporters. Trump had tried to claim yet again that ISIS prisoners being held in Syria were "mostly from Europe." (an assertion has been repeatedly contradicted by Trump's own officials.) Macron corrected Trump on that point, as well as confronted him over his ridiculous assertion that ISIS has been vanquished, telling his American counterpart to “be serious”.
When the video clip of Trudeau joking about Trump with Macron and Boris Johnson began making news, Trump responded by whining that Trudeau was "two-faced' and canceling his last news conference before he furiously stormed back to the U.S.
