The longtime premier of Canada has become a favorite punching bag for Trump, who has mocked Trudeau as the “governor” of the “great state of Canada” and repeatedly insinuated that Canada should become the 51st state of the United States.

Compounding the problem for Trudeau is the fact that Trump has threatened to levy a hefty 25% tariff on Canadian imports that would likely exacerbate Canada’s existing economic crisis that has lined up Trudeau’s Liberal Party for an electoral drubbing of biblical proportions.
