Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appeared to mock President Donald Trump’s generous time with the press Tuesday night in a hot-mic moment in London.
“He was late because he takes a 40-minute press conference at the top,” Trudeau said in a small group of world leaders, and added, “You just watch his team’s jaws drop to the floor.”
Trudeau was speaking with French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson during a Buckingham Palace reception ahead of the NATO summit.
The clip was posted online by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (see below). Although Macron was seen speaking, his comments were not captured on audio. Johnson is spotted smiling during the conversation.

Although Trudeau did not specifically refer to Trump’s name, both of the world leaders spent time in lengthy press conferences ahead of their bilateral meetings with Trump.
Trudeau and Trump spent 30 minutes with the press on Tuesday, while Macron and Trump spoke with the press for 39 minutes.
Trump embarrassed Trudeau by forcing him to admit that Canada was not reaching the two percent defense spending threshold required by the NATO treaty and Macron was noticeably awkward when Trump asked him if he wanted some of his French national ISIS fighters back.
Macron is also seen participating in the conversation, but his comments were not picked up. Johnson was spotted smiling in the conversation.
Trump was asked about the viral moment in his meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel later on Wednesday.
“I can imagine he’s not that happy, but that’s the way it is,” he replied, referring to Trudeau.
“Our entire crony capitalist system, Democrat and
Republican alike, has become a kleptocracy approaching par with
third-world hell-holes. This is the way a great country is raided by
its elite.” ---- Karen McQuillan AMERICAN THINKER.com

how a new corruption has taken hold, involving larger sums of money than ever
before. Stuffing tens of thousands of dollars into a freezer has morphed into
multibillion-dollar equity deals done in the dark corners of the world.
An American bank
opening in China would be prohibited by US law from hiring a slew of family members
of top Chinese politicians. However, a Chinese bank opening in America can hire
anyone it wants. It can even invite the friends and families of American
politicians to invest in can’t-lose deals.
President Donald
Trump’s children have made front pages across the world for their dicey
transactions. However, the media has barely looked into questionable deals made
by those close to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, John Kerry, Mitch McConnell, and
lesser-known politicians who have been in the game longer.
In many parts of
the world, the children of powerful political figures go into business and
profit handsomely, not necessarily because they are good at it, but because
people want to curry favor with their influential parents. This is a relatively
new phenomenon in the United States. But for relatives of some prominent
political families, we may already be talking about hundreds of millions of
dollars.

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump are the
self-styled Prince and Princess of America. Their swift, gilded rise to
extraordinary power in Donald Trump’s White House is unprecedented and
dangerous. In Kushner, Inc. , investigative journalist Vicky Ward
digs beneath the myth the couple has created, depicting themselves as the
voices of reason in an otherwise crazy presidency, and reveals that Jared and
Ivanka are not just the President’s chief enablers: they, like him, appear
disdainful of rules, of laws, and of ethics. They are entitled inheritors of
the worst kind; their combination of ignorance, arrogance, and an insatiable
lust for power has caused havoc all over the world, and may threaten the
democracy of the United States.
Ward follows their
trajectory from New Jersey and New York City to the White House, where the
couple’s many forays into policy-making and national security have mocked
long-standing U.S. policy and protocol. They have pursued an agenda that could
increase their wealth while their actions have mostly gone unchecked. In Kushner,
Inc. , Ward holds Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump accountable: she unveils
the couple’s self-serving transactional motivations and how those have
propelled them into the highest levels of the US government where no one, the
President included, has been able to stop them.

One cautionary example is
President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, whose ticket into Harvard,
according to the 2006 book The Price of Admission: How America’s Ruling Class Buys
Its Way into Elite Colleges ,
was his father’s $2.5 million dollar gift to the university. Jared got his
Harvard degree, but he has been the butt of social-media taunts precisely
because his daddy had to pay a fortune to get the school to admit him. The cost
of a brag-worthy degree? Millions. The cost of the right- and left-brain stuff?
Priceless.

While other
reporters waste their time examining Donald Trump’s public statements,
interviewing his high school classmates and poring over legal filings,
investigative reporter Vicky Ward has produced the definitive book on our
current president.
For example, did you know our president got breast implants in
high school (Ivanka claimed she was just “curvy”), bought his way into Harvard
(Jared is even dumber than you thought), and together have no books in their
New York apartment? (Some dispute that there are no books,
citing “a few art books” or “decorator-curated books.”) Kushner, Inc.: Greed. Ambition. Corruption. The Extraordinary
Story of Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump , tells you all this and more about our actual commander in
chief: President Javanka.Hey! This presidential campaign could be great for
business! According to a close associate, Jared viewed the campaign as
a terrific “networking opportunity.”
Trump’s loyal campaign manager had been with
him through the “Mexican rapists” speech, Macy’s dumping Trump’s ties, the
“McCain isn’t a war hero” controversy, the Muslim ban, the “hand size”
embarrassment, and on and on and on. But when all was said and done and Trump
was still cruising to victory, Jared and Ivanka walked in and delivered an
ultimatum to Trump: “It’s Corey or us.” Jared would later shyly cop to being “[The Man
Who] Won Trump the White House,” as a Forbes magazine cover story put it. And who understood the beating heart of the
Trump voter like Jared and Ivanka? With Javanka in charge, the campaign
schedule was soon bristling with such items as “women’s empowerment week,”
“education week” and “entrepreneur week.” In no time, Trump was 16 points down and
sinking fast. Steve Bannon was brought in, whereupon he promptly threw out all
the Working Women’s Intersectional Global Warming weeks and got back to Trump’s
issues. Jared assured Bannon that the campaign had $25
million on hand. That’s when Bannon had to explain “debits” to Kushner. The
campaign had $25 million — provided you didn’t count all the unpaid expenses.
When those were included, it turned out the campaign was in debt. As the SAT board had discovered, math wasn’t
Jared’s strong suit. Although it has been well reported that Jared’s
Harvard admission was purchased for him by his father, Ward produces a shocking
new detail. Of the five tracks at Jared’s high school, he wasn’t at the bottom
of track one, perhaps suitable for a lesser Ivy League with solid SAT scores.
He wasn’t even in track two. Jared was in track three. But now he has co-opted the Make America Great
Again movement for his own personal advancement. I guess that makes him smarter
than Trump. Apart from staging photo-ops, including her
“princess moment” at the inaugural ball (her words), Ivanka’s first order of
business upon winning the presidency was assigning White House office space.
Her map showed a big office for her, a big office for Jared — and also a nice
corner office, which was designated “Trump family office.” Transition officials, Ward reports, “were
surprised that the first lady did not appear to have an office. So, too, was
Melania Trump, who quickly put an end to Ivanka’s scheming .” Jared’s BFF, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin
Salman (MBS), and the crown prince of Abu Dhabi, Muhammad bin Zayed (MBZ),
refer to Jared as “the clown prince.” Bone-cutter MBS assured those around him
that he had Jared “in my pocket.” MBS and MBZ derided Jared’s Middle East peace
plan as infantile, while using him to achieve their objective: war with Qatar.
According to an American businessman’s leaked emails, their attitude was,
“Nobody would even waste a cup of coffee on him if it wasn’t for who he is
married to.” As one former top White House official
explained: “Jared never understands the details of anything. He’s just
impressed by names.” Following meetings at the White House and also
with the Kushners over their 666 Fifth Avenue property, former Qatari Prime
Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim reported back to the emir that “the people
atop the new administration were heavily motivated by personal financial
interest.” After Ivanka’s speech introducing her father at
the Republican National Convention — rivaled only by Billy Carter’s
introduction of his brother, Jimmy! — she tweeted from her personal account:
“Shop Ivanka’s look from her #RNC speech.” After the Trump family was interviewed on CBS’s
“60 Minutes,” Ivanka’s company emailed out a “style alert” advertising the
$10,800 diamond bracelet she’d worn on the show — “available from Ivanka Trump
Fine Jewelry.” Ivanka has managed to win a slew of trademarks
in China since her father became the Figurehead President, with several
approvals being fast-tracked at about the same time Trump was hosting Chinese
President Xi Jinping at Mar-a-Lago. Instead of “Make America Great Again,” the
motto of the Trump presidency is, as one of Trump’s legal spokesmen put it:
“The advance team for Jared and Ivanka.” This is not what anyone voted for.
One
cautionary example is President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, whose ticket
into Harvard, according to the 2006 book The Price of Admission:
How America’s Ruling Class Buys Its Way into Elite Colleges , was his
father’s $2.5 million dollar gift to the university. Jared got his Harvard
degree, but he has been the butt of social-media taunts precisely because his
daddy had to pay a fortune to get the school to admit him. The cost of a
brag-worthy degree? Millions. The cost of the right- and left-brain stuff?
Priceless.
