Trudeau the Terrible can't stand Trump's humour
Trump and his team knows how to push buttons, and Trudeau keeps taking the bait.
GUEST: Aristotle Foundation President Mark Milke on his new book, The Victim Cult.

Tonight, on The Ezra Levant Show, why are Donald Trump's 51st state comments resounding so loudly in Canada? Can nobody take a joke?
In one post, Trump referred to Trudeau as the governor of the “Great State of Canada.” It follows his teasing of Canada becoming the 51st state after ruinous tariffs.
"There isn't a snowball's chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States," Trudeau said in a recent social media post. Elon Musk, a key adviser to Trump, trolled Canada's outgoing prime minister, saying he was "not the Governor of Canada anymore."
What has become abundantly clear is that Trump and his team knows how to push buttons, and Trudeau keeps taking the bait. Rather than taken it off the chin, our prime minister took it personally. Like the ego-maniac he is, Trudeau made Canada's porous borders about himself.

"Trudeau himself is to blame!" said Levant. That is why his standing among Canadians is at an all-time low! Recent polling even suggests that Trump himself is more popular among Canadians than Trudeau.
Canadians know our country will never join the United States, some of whom can see the humor. Yet the same can't be said for Trudeau, who claims Canada is a "post-national state" with no core identity.
The president-elect recently posted an AI-generated image of himself standing atop a mountain with a Canadian flag just to spite him. Unsurprisingly, Trudeau took offence when there was none to be had.
Like all despots, our outgoing prime minister can't take a joke. Go figure.

Trudeau was past his use by date. Biden probably would have lost in 2020, but a record turnout saved him. Putin is saved because he murders the competition. Xi only locks them away. Xi doesn’t face an election and Putin rigs his. No attitude required. Putin will probably cosy up to Trump … no attitude required and if he gets bored, he can persecute the minorities and whip up a good ol’ fashioned lynch mob or send them to the western front -
Bruce Atchison commented 2025-01-10 20:52:53 -0500Peter nailed it about victimhood in dictatorships. Dictators always need a foe for the people to fear. For example, Putin fears NATO so he vilifies that organization. Leftists blame conservatives for everything that happened in the past. So it goes throughout history.

Peter Wrenshall commented 2025-01-09 23:36:38 -0500I haven’t read Mark Milke’s book so I don’t know if he brought up this aspect of victimhood beliefs but many, if not all supremacist ideologies incorporate victim narratives – their dialectical opposite, so to speak. This is clearly true of German Nazism, Islamism and Black nationalism. In the case of Nazism, a foundational belief is the abasement of the German people by the victorious WWI Allies through the Treaty of Versailles, but places the Jews in the role of the overarching oppressor. For Islamists it is the liberation of the Ummah from the corruption of the decadent Western kuffar imperialists who have turned the Ummah from the true path of Islam. Islamists, of course, place the Jews in a starring role in this drama (There is in fact, a very close historical and doctrinal relationship between Islamism and Nazism). For Black nationalists the oppressor is the white European race. It might even be said that supremacist ideologies actually depend on victimhood narratives.

Trudeau knows it is a joke because Trump was ripping him over steak dinners at his Mar-a-Lago resort!!!
Our stupid leftist politicians are very embarrassing -
Bruce Atchison commented 2025-01-09 21:21:42 -0500I could have played the victim all my life. It wasn’t my fault that I was born with poor eyesight. It wasn’t nice to be sent to a residential school for deaf and blind children for months at a time either. Worse yet,, the world is so sight-oriented that finding a job was difficult. I didn’t even have proper adaptive tools like a good magnifying glass and monocular. But I persisted and I also got rid of my emotional baggage. That freed me to make my own future.
