Watch Justin Trudeau's awkward pause before he calls Donald Trump 'authentic'
During an interview with the founders of theSkimm, Justin Trudeau managed to somehow not say anything good OR bad about Donald Trump.
After the founders of the daily newsletter asked what surprises him about Trump, the Canadian prime minister hemmed and hawed a bit before explaining, "He's authentic. In that the person he is on camera, in public, is very true to the person he is in private. There's a consistency there one can work with.
So all the off-the-wall things he says are "authentic," eh?
Later, after toasting with Labatt 50, they asked him if he could change Trump's mind on one issue, what would it be? Trudeau expertly evaded the question.
"I expect him to be standing up to what's in the best interest of his citizens," he told theSkimm.
On Twitter, others caught on to Trudeau's carefully crafted responses about Trump.
