White House Gooses Justin Trudeau And Canada After U.S. Hockey Olympic Gold
HuffPost
The Trump administration took a slapshot at the ex-prime minister for a boast he once made.
The Trump administration tried to make Justin Trudeau eat his words on Sunday after the U.S. beat Canada in the gold medal hockey final at the Winter Olympics.
About a year ago, Canada’s hockey team defeated the Americans in the Four Nations Face-Off amid heightened hostilities prompted by President Donald Trump’s tariff menacing and threats to annex the country as the 51st state.
“You can’t take our country ― you can’t take our game,” Trudeau declared on social media.
The White House didn’t forget. After the Americans’ stunning overtime triumph over their northern rival in a far bigger game in Milan, Trump and Co. resurfaced Trudeau’s declaration with a photo of a bald eagle digging its claws into what is presumably a Canadian goose.
Trump called U.S. Olympic freestyle skier Hunter Hess a “real loser” for expressing “mixed emotions” about repping America. But he went all in on applauding the hockey victory.
