Despite all the unnecessary, adolescent insults, Trump reveals the kind of Prime Minister he will not be able to work with effectively.
Far-left Trudeau and any other far-left Liberal PM, which would include everyone in the race for the new PM, with the possible exception of Ruby Dhalla, who has been booted from the race (see below), probably for fear that she might upset the planned coronation of Mark Carney, who may well be further left than Trudeau.
This makes Pierre Poilievre easily look like the most effective leader for Canada.
Trump calls Trudeau ‘a loser’
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is “a loser” who is ruining the country with radical left policies, US President Donald Trump has claimed.
Trump previously threatened to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian goods and suggested that its northern neighbor would be better off as “the 51st state” of the US.
The war of words between Trump and Trudeau continued after a hockey game between US and Canadian teams in Boston, during which fans of the visiting team booed the US national anthem.
Canada won 3-2 in overtime, after which Trudeau took to social media to taunt Trump. “You can’t take our country – and you can’t take our game,” he wrote on X.
In an interview with Fox News’s Brian Kilmeade the following day, Trump was asked to respond to Trudeau’s remarks. “Justin’s a loser. Always has been,” Trump said, arguing that Trudeau has “destroyed” Canada with “radical left” and “Marxist policies.”
In my commitment to truth, I am in the extremely uncomfortable position here of defending Trudeau. But he has won more elections than Trump, and has never lost one, yet.
“We have a good relationship with Canada, not with Justin. Because he’s too far radical left, he’s killing Canada. Canada is doing terribly,” Trump said. He went on to argue that Trudeau would lose the upcoming federal election if he decided to run again.
“Looks like he’s not going to run. That’s a smart move because he wouldn’t have a chance of winning,” Trump claimed.
Trudeau’s approval rating dropped from 60% in 2015, when he took office, to 22% in December 2024. Last month, Trudeau announced that he would step down as Liberal Party leader and prime minister, citing the need for new leadership. He confirmed that he would be seeking re-election.
Earlier this month, Trump agreed to delay the imposition of tariffs on Canada for 30 days, giving more time for negotiations. He has repeatedly argued that the country would benefit economically if it got absorbed by the US. Ottawa has rejected the idea, with Trudeau saying that “Canada will never be the 51st state.”
