MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell pinpointed the exact moment Mark Carney “humiliated” Donald Trump at the Oval Office—and said the president was “too stupid” to notice.
The new Canadian prime minister met with Trump on Tuesday and inflicted what O’Donnell referred to as a “steady stream of humiliation” on a president who “is clearly off his game.”
According to O’Donnell, throughout the course of the two men’s conversation, Trump utterly failed to make any progress on a trade deal, was told “no” to his face when repeating his oft-stated desire to make Canada the 51st state, and appeared confused and out of his depth when talking specifics with the Canadian PM.
No, I saw that interview. You might as well have have an appeaser watch Chamberlain and Hitler, y"sh in Munich describing it as "Chamberlain's finest hour for pulling us back from the brink of war!" which is what the press did back then.
ReplyDeleteCarney was the one humiliated. Having run on a campaing of "Trump is terrible and we have to stand up to him and push back," he sat there say "Trump is a transformational leader I look foward to working with!" From promising to end Trump talking about Canada being the 51st state, he had to sit there and listen as Trump said it again. From promising to reach a compromise that would end tariffs, he had to sit there as Trump said "Nope, tariffs stay."
Carney is a condescending liberal. He walked in to the meeting like it was a poker game and looking at Trump like the President was an ignorant boor. Unfortunately Trump had all the cards and all Carney could do was act snobbish.
