That little punk kid running Canada!

WASHINGTON—An official in the Trump administration privately referred to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as “that little punk kid running Canada,” another Trump official said at an event on Wednesday.

Larry Kudlow, Trump’s chief economic adviser, recounted the story at an invitation-only dinner hosted by the American Spectator, a conservative magazine.

According to the Washington Examiner

, which was in attendance, Kudlow said that one of his friends in the White House, “who will go unnamed,” said they were pleased they had managed to come to a trade agreement with Canada — despite Trudeau.

“‘We didn’t walk away. We didn’t end it. We made a deal. Alright? ’Spite that little punk kid running Canada, we still made it,’” Kudlow said, the Examiner reported. “And I’ve had some wonderful run-ins with him.”

(Say what you will folks, Trudeau gets one hell of a lot more respect on the International Stage than Drumpf ever will! -Ed.)
