Newspaper calls Trudeau a 'buffoon' after lecturing Italian PM
Lecturing, or ambushing?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, a self-described feminist, is being slammed for his “repugnant” behaviour after trying to “mansplain” democracy to Italian counterpart Giorgia Meloni.
The Saturday front page of the Milan Libero newspaper. Libero
Literally: “This buffoon wants to teach us lessons.”
Meloni seemed none too pleased Friday at the G7 summit in Hiroshima, Japan, when Trudeau told her before private, bilateral talks that “Canada is concerned about some of the positions Italy is taking in terms of LGBT rights.” He added that he was looking forward to speaking to her more about the issue and “other democratic principles that the world needs.”
The buffoon would never speak to a man in such a manner, but it seems obvious he feels considerably superior to Meloni. As usual, he is delusional.
The Italian leader fired back Sunday, saying she rejected Trudeau’s criticism and that the Liberal leader had fallen “victim” to “fake news.”
She actually said: “He has fallen victim to fake news” and his assessment doesn’t correspond to “reality”.
Italian media was quick to condemn Trudeau’s latest misstep on the world stage with the Milan-based Libero newspaper splashing a picture of the Grit prime minister on its front page in blackface with the headline, translated from Italian, saying, “This buffoon wants to teach us lessons.”
Even Sky News Australia host Rita Panahi got in on the act, saying Meloni’s grimace while being lectured:
“really sums up what all of us think of the repugnant, incompetent Trudeau.”
Trudeau’s critique on Friday came in response to news that Meloni’s government told Italian city councils to stop officially recording both parents in same-sex couples and instead limit it to the biological parent. The move has sparked protests by gay rights groups.
Gay rights groups live in a magical land of their own.
I would love to see Trudeau being shunned by the other G7 leaders for his unwelcomed, misogynistic behaviour.
I'll bet The Sun is the only major Canadian news outlet that publishes this story.
UPDATE 22 MAY 2023 - CTV News covered this story on their website. CBC and Global seem to have avoided it. In the CTV report which was probably written by Associated Press, Giorgia Meloni is introduced as the Premier of Italy. Although technically correct, in Canada, provincial heads of state are called Premiers while the national head of state is called Prime Minister. Did AP use the term Premier deliberately in order to hint that Trudeau was above Meloni?
CTV also managed to neglect to mention the media outfall from Trudeau's ambush of the woman on camera, something he would never do to a man. He had an opportunity to do so with Indonesia's head of state and sat quietly without saying a word.
