Tommy Chong to Justin Trudeau: Trump is “Putin’s Bitch”
This story was originally published in Straight Cannabis.
Sometimes, I wish the media would just go to legendary stoner Tommy Chong for political analysis.
We would likely get a far more concise and accurate picture than we receive from all those blathering talking heads from the corporate think tanks.
I felt this way again after Donald Trump tried to bully and humiliate Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau.
This came after Trudeau said he didn’t want Russia in the G-7.
Of course, Trump didn’t mention Vladimir Putin or Russia in his weekend Twitter rant against Trudeau.
That’s because Trump knows that any mention of Putin simply attracts more attention from special counsel Robert Mueller.
So this is what Trump said instead.
Based on Justin’s false statements at his news conference, and the fact that Canada is charging massive Tariffs to our U.S. farmers, workers and companies, I have instructed our U.S. Reps not to endorse the Communique as we look at Tariffs on automobiles flooding the U.S. Market!

PM Justin Trudeau of Canada acted so meek and mild during our @G7 meetings only to give a news conference after I left saying that, “US Tariffs were kind of insulting” and he “will not be pushed around.” Very dishonest & weak. Our Tariffs are in response to his of 270% on dairy!

Many in the Canadian media dutifully repeated Trump’s diatribe without linking it to Putin.
However, Tommy Chong saw through the BS.
“Trump being Trump is really Trump being Putin’s bitch!” the comedian tweeted.
Trump being Trump is really Trump being Putin’s bitch! Trump gonna have to put on his knee pads if he keep this position.

He is just acting like Putin’s “bitch”. We will find out what Putin has on Trump right after the midterm elections. Relax it’s almost over!

Chong also had some encouraging words for Trudeau, noting that Trump “will soon be a memory and a marker in history”.
Justin keep the Faith and know that “this too shall pass”. Trump will soon be a memory and a marker in history. Time heals.

Trump being Trump is getting to be too much for even Trump. He lies and cry’s so much he acts like he is have a nervous breakdown.

Chong isn’t the only Canadian-born, U.S.-based commentator giving Trump a rough ride.
David Frum, a former speechwriter for George W. Bush, put out the following tweet to try to add some context to Trump’s frustration.
Over the first yr of his presidency, room rates at Trump Hotel Vancouver tumbled 48%, one of the steepest declines among Trump-branded properties worldwide https://t.co/9BMcZkXUIB Might this explain the president’s rage at Canada ?

That wasn’t Frum’s only comment on the Trump hotel in Vancouver. Below, you can see how he mentioned this property in response to a tweet last week from Donald Trump Jr.
.@JustinTrudeau on Obama’s advice to him: “That need to be firm about projecting our values and defending not just our citizens, but citizens around the world in positive ways is what I consider the responsibility we have as Canadians and what I’ll do as leader.” #MTP

That’s one ideology. I voted for a President that will put my fellow Americans first. Once we solve our problems we can focus on others but not till then. #AmericaFirst https://t.co/PgRuJtqbVI

Potential patrons of the Trump hotel Vancouver might want to keep in mind the hostile attitude of the hotel namesake https://t.co/MxGHouNwqy
