Who needs concert tickets when the Carney puts on a show for free.

 

When Prime Minister Mark Carney was in Washington he was hoping to strike a deal to remove U.S. tariffs from Canadian goods, but he left empty-handed and came across like a starstruck fan in front of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Carney arrived all smiles, wearing a red tie, and heaped plenty of praise on Trump, calling him “a transformative president.”

But Carney’s flattery ended up coming across like he was “a teen at a Taylor Swift concert,” body language expert Judi James told the Daily Mail.

Carney actually manages to blow so much smoke at Trump here that even the ego-rich president can’t listen anymore, which has to be a first, and interrupts him with a joke about a merger of the U.S. and Canada with a bashful smile,” James told the U.K. publication.

Trump joked about Canada becoming the U.S’s “51st state” when he interrupted Carney as he was speaking.

“And now, and I’m running out of time, but this is many respects, the most important …” Carney was saying, before Trump cut him off, and said, “The merger of Canada and the United States,” as the room erupted in laughter.

“That wasn’t where I was going,” Carney replied.

After his re-election last fall, Trump said to then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that Canada should become America’s “51st state.”

Trudeau flew unannounced to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla., after the incoming president threatened to impose tariffs on Canadian products being imported to the United States.

But in the days following the dinner, news trickled out that Trump broached the idea of Canada becoming part of the U.S.

Paraphrasing their discussion over dinner from conversations he had with two people at the table, Fox News senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy said that when Trudeau informed Trump that tariffs would “kill the Canadian economy,” Trump joked that “if the Canadian economy can’t survive without ripping off the U.S. to the tune of $100 billion a year then maybe Canada should become the 51st state.”
