Trump says he rejected a meeting with Canada that Canada says it never requested

Source: USA Today

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he rejected a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during the United Nations General Assembly, but a spokeswoman for Trudeau’s government disputed that the meeting had ever been requested.

“Yeah, I did,” Trump said during a press conference in New York when asked if he has rejected the meeting.

But a spokeswoman for Trudeau, Eleanore Catenaro, said Canada never requested the meeting in the first place.

“No meeting was requested,” she said in a statement Trump’s press conference. “We don't have any comment beyond that.”

FYI, I was up there two weeks ago for my annual visit. Canadians LOVE Americans (especially our dollars!), but to a man/woman they have absolutely no respect for the dotard.

"The Boy Scout leader called to say it was the greatest speech ever delivered at a Jamboree".

He just doesn't care that he's a known liar, or he may believe lying about something makes it a truth somehow.

Since everything Dump says is a lie, I automatically assume Trudeau is truthful.

"We're very unhappy with the negotiations and the negotiating style of Canada. We don't like their representative very much."

The representative he doesn't like is Chrystia Freeland, our Foreign Minister. Of course he doesn't like her. She's a woman with more brains than him and more power than he thinks any woman should have. It diminishes his manhood.

Trump had already made an ass of himself trying to overpower Japan's Shinzo Abe in his first visit to the White House, which you remember:







- help, get me out of here, he's nuts -

Here's Trudeau's handshake, with a comment from a YouTube poster:

Trudeau's an amateur boxer, so Donny tiny hands met his match. He probably realized very quickly that Trudeau could/would deliberately overpower him, if he kept insisting on "winning" the moment, instead of being respectable.
The boxer in Trudeau stepped into Tiny Hands' body and squared up to him, fully. He also neutralized him by holding firmly to his upper arm. Checkmate.

Trudeau beat him the first time they met, AND he's far, far better looking. Trump can't overcome his jealousy and pettiness.
