(16,784 posts)Was an insult heard around the world. The same when Pres. Obama referred to Trump as "the Donald" at the 2012 WHCD. Trump has not gotten over that.
The younger, more handsome Canadian PM, scored a big blow to Trump's fragile ego by not using the title President first.

(14,959 posts)Obama using it is that it was *Obama* using it.
Now that he's been POTUS though, "Donald," "The Donald," "Donald Trump," and "Mr. Trump" are all inadequate to satiate his ravenous ego.
With that in mind, I'd love to see all of our allies refer to him as "Donald" in conversation.

(8,697 posts)At a formal event as two heads of state protocol would dictate calling the person that normally holds that position mr. president so the insult was noted by anyone in government, anywhere and everywhere.

(5,801 posts)He would swing and miss and end up on his ass. I say this as someone who watched their 75 year old father give it a go a couple years ago with the same result. And we've all seen Trump crawling through the grass on the golf course, lol.

(7,397 posts)There was a video going around showing what I think was a three round fight with gloves and headgear. The opponent was supposedly some kind of streetfighter, but he wore down after just one round. Trudeau took over from there.

I have a feeling we are going to be seeing a lot more of it in the near future.

(11,563 posts)It's no surprise that he's not only really good at it Just Cuz....but the office of PM is given to the person that wins the Pan-Canadian Passive-Aggressive Competition held every few years.
So, yeah. He was adjudged to be #1. Prime Minster and Reigning King of the Passive-Aggressives.
