Trump says ‘was mistake’ to boot Putin from G7 as he trashes Trudeau with Canadian PM Carney standing beside him | The Independent

President falsely accuses Trudeau of ousting Russia from the G8 in 2014 even though he would not become Canada’s head of government until November 2015

So this is going well.  🙃

 And why the hell does Carney look like a question mark, hunched over like that? He looks like he's trying to cosplay the Riddler from batman.  FFS man, you're representing the country, posture!

Dipshit doesn't even know Harper was PM when Russia was turfed. Either that or he flat out knows he is lying. Carney doesn't need to say anything.

Well he kind of does have to say something or else he's going to wind up looking like trump's little bítch. 

Especially all hunched over like that, it doesn't look good. Sure, trump says all kinds of crazy crap but if he's not even willing to step up and open his mouth in front of the guy and he looks very weak and that he's just doing what he's told.

What exactly are you talking about?  Carney wisely said nothing as the idi0t babbled on about the G8.

Looking weak.... be serious. He looked and is coming across as a more than capable leader, which is exactly what the country thought he'd be and why he was voted in. A true embarrassment would be watching PP represent Canada while looking like a deer in the headlights.

Nope, just let Trump keep digging. No point in picking a fight with him, that's what Trudeau would have done.

Every reliable news outlet will pick up on it anyway and the Trump ass kisser networks just use anything Carney might of said against him. There is nothing in it for us to have Carney make Trump look as ignorant as he is. We went down that road with Trudeau.

Why is it wise to stand and appear to be someone subordinate when he is supposed to be your equal?

He looks like he's hunched over and that trump has him eating out of his palm.

It's not a good look. He better come out of this summit with a deal as everyone expects or he's really going to look horrible.

I get your point.  In principle I agree.  Carney comes off as the docile polite Canadian as the boorish American tramples on him, which is a bad look for us.

The problem is if Carney is going to start getting into little sparring matches with Trump just to clear up a point on TV here and there that are largely meaningless he risks Trump having a hissy fit and doing something dumb policy-wise just to get back at us which would hurt Canada.  It would be better if the relationship doesn't go how the Trudeau-Trump relationship went if possible.  Diplomacy is a an art.

Carney is in a real bind, he's damned if he does/damned if he doesn't.  And hunched over he looks like Billy Bob Thorton from Sling Blade haha.  But even Carney he looked like Stephen Hawking i'd much prefer that over having a frat-boy DEI activist as our PM.

Trump is already hated. He can't "dig" any deeper 

And the only thing worse than looking LIKE him is looking to be BELOW him.

So you're saying Carney is impotent.  Well... that's not a good look either :)

Yeah, its a tough position but one he had to expect.  This is where his lack of experience as a politician is going to hurt him. 

The correct answer probably would have been along the lines of "we can always second guess the past but we're here now to pick a brighter future and we must rise to the challenge of creating a better future for all of us, and i'm confident that we have the skill here today to do that".  

Doesn't refute, (doesn't agree) and puts trump on the spot to make a deal this conference least he look like someone who CAN"T make a better future.  It boosts him without simping or praising per se. 

Or even more simple, "I wasn't here for any of that but i'm here now and lets make sure in years to come they say 'those guys got  it right". 

 

Ya gotta be able to pull those out on the fly if you want to be prime minister.

He is a gentleman and would not throw Harper under the bus.

Are you really going so low as to insulting a man for his posture? He has kyphosis which is a chronic back issue.

You are truly a phkin ignorant a$$hole making fun of a mans medical issue.

How's your mom?

And he's managed to stand up straight in other interviews and when on the campaign trail, so why did it suddenly happen now?

He looks how he looks. And you make fun of people for that kind of thing all the time.  ;)  Cheezy and cheap as always, you can't refute the points so you just attack people and then get big mad if they hurt your feelings for you :)

Not sure what you watched but it's certainly not the aura Carney conveys.  The guy is a seasoned pro with the self confidence and level of arrogance to match that Trump and other leaders can see, relate to, and appreciate.  Look no further than Trump's comments of Carney.  He's a great look for Canada right now, and will get a good deal for Canada when the time is right.

That's a problem, he isn't. This is his very first job in politics. He is never had to do what he is doing now before. And it shows, and not just in this one case. And to top it all off trump is eating his breakfast and his lunch. We took all our tariffs off for the most part, trump has increased his. And then trump let kearney give him a huge introduction and say how the G7 couldn't work without trump's leadership, and then trump's like yeah thanks and then left the conference.

Make no mistake, this is not a good look in the slightest, he looks horrible. And I'm not just talking about his posture

He may yet grow into the role but right now he is not doing well

You're reading the wrong papers....  There is zero question that Carney finished hosting the G7 with nothing but positive reviews from the media, colleagues, and most importantly for us, Trump. 

Thankfully it's his first job in politics.  Why would we want a politician negotiating for us?  The vast majority of people want someone negotiating that first of all understands how to negotiate, and then understands global trade and business.  Seriously....you want a career politician like PP negotiating for our future when the guy has never left the political womb and been in the real world his adult life. He knows nothing of international players or politics, nor does he know anything about trade or business.  

Carney's aura and business acumen are unquestionably top of class and we're fortunate to see come along when he did.

I'm reading all the papers. Most disagree with you. Sorry, but i'm afraid it's you who's being "selective" in your reading. 

And it's not hard to see why.  "This conference wouldn't be possible without your guidance mr trump.   What? Hey  welcoming the guy is one thing but simping is something else. 

I'm afraid you're wearing rose coloured glasses if you thought that was a good look

That is as stupid a thing to say as "why would we want a doctor operating on us" or "why would we want a lawyer defending us in court". 

This is an exercise in diplomacy.  A diplomat is the correct person to handle that.  You want to see how a 'businessman' runs a country? That would be trump. How's that working out in your opinion?

Dude they're clearly junk, and more and more people are commenting on it. If he doesnt  want to end up like joe clark he's going to have to step up his game and get serious and get that learning curve behind him.  Right now he's on a bit of a honeymoon but come the winter people will be looking at their food bills, their housing costs, their chances of owning a home and come spring he's going to have to report how much he overspent this year and produce a budget. 

And the ndp is going to have a leader and PP will be back in the game and the honey moon will wear off and he'll be in trouble if he cant' do better than this,

lol.... What papers are you reading.... rebel news or other off the grid sites?

Flattering Trump is simple posturing and negotiating. Carney's dealing with someone who has the temperament and mind set of a 9 year old and flattery will get you everywhere with him.  If that's part of the posturing then so be it.

I'll throw it back to you and say it's beyond stupid that you would want a career politician with no practical economic, trade or business experience whatsoever negotiating for our country and the time we're living in. That's a joke!  Career politicians are the reason people here and every other country are f'n tired of politics....time for them to go and get people in the positions who can and know how to do things.  

I'll give you that.... it is a honeymoon right now (as it should be given he's only been in the seat for 6 weeks).  The positive and why people voted him in is that he's a businessman through and through and is hopefully going to get us back on the right track.  I have one hell of a lot more faith in him than I would if the other guy was somehow in the seat...

National post, toronto sun, even the star danced around it trying to be nice but calling it a 'challenge' and saying it was tough to 'tailor diplomacy' to deal with trump etc,  a bunch of others. 

Even the cbc noted he was 'very complimentary' of trump. 

 

Sorry kid it was not a good look.

well that just makes you look dumb. All politicans have practical economic trade and business experience. They run the economy, they run the gov't expenditures, they spend more money every year than carney hides in off shore accounts in total. 

So when you say you'll "throw it back", what you mean is you can't refute my points so you'll just say the opposite? What grade were you in in school again?

Just like trump :) Tell me, when has our country OR theirs really prospered under a 'businessman'?  Our best performance was probably harper - career politician, some would argue that chretien did well, a career politician, i suppose you could argue mulroney was a businessman but that wasn't for most of his career, mostly he was a labour lawyer. 

It's patently dumb to say you would NOT want someone experienced in the job you're hiring for,  Like.. it's just nonsensical. If you need an operation hire a surgeon, not a plumber.  If your car doesn't work hire a mechanic, not a car salesman. If you have difficult political trade negotiations hire a politician.  

Yeash. How complicated is that. 

Carney couldn't even figure out how to produce a budget
