President Donald Trump mocked transgender people in front of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, whose child identifies as nonbinary, during an Oval Office meeting in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday that was intended to focus on trade relations but instead became a showcase of Trump’s familiar culture war politics.
The meeting, held in the presence of reporters, aimed to emphasize renewed cooperation between the two countries, which remain deeply economically intertwined. But as The Independent reported, it “devolved into a political rally disguised as a routine press availability.” Trump repeatedly veered off topic to attack Democrats, the media, and transgender people, boasting that under his leadership, “We have strong borders. We have no men in women’s sports. We’re not going to take your child away and change the sex of your child.”
The way carney was staring intently at Trump with lovers eyes while he blathered on… very embarrassing
Reads like something Trump would tweet
VERY BAD!!!
I’m not liking his performance to date, but this sounds like astroturfing.
Carney laughed when Trump “joked” about murdering fishing boat crews
How? I found it cringe. He doesn’t even have to interject but he could at least not do this act of listening intently to him while he speaks nonsense as if he were giving a high level lecture. It feels like performative kowtowing in hopes that Trump will reward him for it… which he will not.
Huh, I think you’ve fell victim of confirmation bias in this case.
Which is truly the ceinge position to be in.
It’s about not having the mindset of someone lives in the 51st State and instead lives in a sovereign, equal nation to the US. A lot of people in this thread seem to think that Mark Carney should bow down to Trump and nod along to everything he says, no matter how bigoted or indefensible, which is the implicit mindset of someone who sees their country as weaker, inferior one to the US.
It seems like you have some issues reading the situation.
