Trudeau turns cringe dial to eleven for Asia visit

Did you seen that pic of PM Precious doing the splits while shaking hands with the Korean dignitary? I think what actually happened there was that in his haste to get to the photo-op, Fluffy slipped in a puddle of his own hubris, and the photographer captured the moment the kindly Korean helped him to his feet. Then on to Hiroshima, that most sombre living monument to nuclear terror, for another round of frivolity and grandstanding. Watched on Al Jazeera to see Fluffy make multiple lunges to touch the hem of Vlodymar “Churchill-Mandela” Zelensky’s raiment, finally gripping the great man in a bro-hug. For a later photo-op Justin doffed his jacket and rolled up his sleeves to affect a more man-of-action vibe. Then, in another bro moment, he cornered Zelensky and slapped him on the back for five minutes while repeating “whatever it takes for as long as it takes whatever it takes for as long as it takes whatever…” Trudeau and Zelensky both know Canada got nothin’, but hey, it’s all part of the show. I think that’s the basis of their bond; Justin was a drama teacher and Vloddy was an actor. They’re both at home in the world of make-believe. Zelensky pretends he's running a war. Trudeau's running a pretend country.
