Canada’s woke prime minister and sometime blackface enthusiast Justin Trudeau has accused President Donald J. Trump of being “dumb” by enforcing tariffs and allegedly “appeasing” Russian President Vladimir Putin.

After 21 days, the tariffs will be expanded to cover another $125 billion worth of goods. “The United States launched a trade war against Canada, their closest partner, and ally, the closest friend,” Trudeau said at a press conference. “At the same time, they’re talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin, a lying, murderous dictator.
