Trump Makes Justin Trudeau Grovel and Squirm

Far be it from me to be a scandalmonger, but I can't resist going "Yo mama..." on Canada's PM.

Despite many of the Left’s “talking heads” scrambling to declare (and to convince the public) that “Tariffs don’t work,” the leaders of Mexico and now Canada have come groveling to President-Elect Trump, offering concessions to prevent his proposed tariffs, so apparently the threat of tariffs works just fine!

Faced with the prospect of a 25% tariff on Mexican imports to the US, Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum has decided that perhaps her country can tighten up its own porous borders, both North and South, and reduce Mexico’s role as a free-flowing conduit for migrants and drugs from all over the world and destined for El Norte.

And, while bristling at being compared with Mexico, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau also allowed, after his dinner with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, that his country is prepared to make new investments in law enforcement officers, helicopters and drones for increased border security.

Trudeau is no stranger to threats, although he is usually the one making them. I have to admit to a sense of schadenfreude at seeing Trudeau squirm. The tinpot tyrant’s true colors were on full display during COVID-19. I remember, when I was writing for Trends Journal, cataloging not just his iron-fisted vaccine mandates threatening loss of employment for non-compliance (“No Jab, No Job”) and his draconian edicts (requiring, for example, that all air, rail and marine travelers over 12, in or from Canada, be fully vaxxed before boarding), but his punitively authoritarian crackdowns on those who dared to protest, even going so far as to threaten to freeze anti-vaxxers’ bank accounts and to suspend their auto- and unemployment insurance.

I also have a real problem with Trudeau paying mere lip service to condemning the anti-Semitism he has allowed to flourish in Canada (particularly in Montreal, which has become a shameful hotbed of open Jew-hatred). Across Canada, since the atrocities of Oct. 7 2023, anti-Semitic incidents have increased by over 600% (that’s not a misprint! 600%!).

But that shouldn’t be surprising; it was Trudeau who, when Islamic “honor killings” were condemned as “barbaric,” took issue with that characterization and condemned that label far more vociferously than he did the actual murders and murderers. Invariably, when commenting on an attack on Canadian Jews, he feels compelled to admonish Canadians to avoid falling victim to “Islamophobia.”

In addition to (and in conjunction with) being an apologist for Jihadis, Trudeau is a globalist who has bought into global warming and is a big proponent of government control and censorship of digital media. He’s the darling of the globalist elite and, with Barack Obama losing his luster and Kamala Harris soon to be nothing more than a stain on the political highway, is regarded as clearly the “hippest” and “coolest” world leader. Much of that “hipness” is no doubt inherited from his mother.

While Trudeau was meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, I wonder if, just to needle him, Trump couldn’t resist just ever-so-off-handedly mentioning something like “Y’know, the Rolling Stones have always been one of my favorite bands; I understand your mom dated them.”

It wouldn't be the first time that Trump alluded to the scandalous rumors about Margaret Trudeau “partying” with Mick Jagger and company. And Mick himself alluded to the rumors at a concert in Vancouver just this past summer, although he denies the claim, and has said that Margaret was “a very sick girl, in search of something,” adding that “She found it, but not with me. I wouldn’t go near her with a bargepole.”

If this story is news to you, you can read about it here, here and here, all of which document what Trump actually said. Harry S Truman was known for his “plain speaking,” but there’s nothing plainer than Trump’s concise description of Margaret Trudeau’s “relationship” with the Rolling Stones; Trump’s exact words, quoted by his former Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham, were: “Trudeau’s mom: she f***ed all of the Rolling Stones.”

[Punctuation lesson: Note that there’s no period after the “S” in “Harry S Truman”; it doesn’t stand for anything. He was even known as “Harry ‘S for Nothing’ Truman." Any time you see his name rendered with a period, it is incorrect.]

Trump also commented on Margaret Trudeau’s relationship with Fidel Castro (whom she called “the sexiest man” she had ever met), fueling the rumor that the late Cuban dictator was Justin’s father. Justin has publicly expressed his praise and admiration for Castro, calling him a “larger than life legendary revolutionary.” It wouldn’t surprise me if he’s also a fan of Ché Guevara. But of course he’s among those who believe that Donald Trump is an anti-Semite and a threat to democracy!

I certainly wouldn’t put it past Trump to not be able to resist going “Yo mama…” on Justin Trudeau.

“Yo mama…” is a form of insult, often (but not necessarily) humorous, which turns on disparaging the object’s mother. Many of the humorous ones follow the theme of “Yo mama’s so fat…” or “Yo mama’s so dumb…” (“Yo mama’s so dumb, the second time she got pregnant, she thought they had to get married again!”). When I was a kid, one of the mildest examples was “Yo mama wears combat boots!” The funny thing is (I’m getting a bit sidetracked here), I kinda like women in combat boots (just as I don’t really care for women in high heels, or in makeup, for that matter. But I’ll detail my personal preferences in women’s sartorial trappings some other time).

• A friend once had a boat he named “Yo Mama” just so that, when asked “Where’ve you been?” he could respond, “I’ve been on Yo Mama!” •

Margaret Trudeau married then-Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau in 1971, when she was 22 and he was 51; they divorced in 1984. Justin was born on Christmas Day of 1971. Pierre Trudeau died in 2000 ; Margaret is still alive and has remarried but has not commented on any of this in recent years. She is currently an activist for mental illness.

She has admitted that, during her “wild years,” she had affairs with Jack Nicholson, Ryan O’Neal and Lou Rawls. Of the Rolling Stones, she has said, “I should have slept with every single one of them.” Am I the only one who thinks that the phrasing of her remark is fraught with innuendo?
