Geeze, is Trump fucking stupid. What a fucking degenerate dirtbag.

Former Canadian politicians blast Trump for spreading Trudeau-Castro
conspiracy

Two former Cabinet ministers are demanding an apology and retraction of a
�vulgar� book passage.

Two former Canadian lawmakers are calling on former President Donald
Trump to apologize for reviving and circulating a long-debunked rumor
that is �vile, vulgar, and deeply offensive.�

Their move comes after Trump falsely claims that Canada�s prime minister
is the son of former Cuban dictator Fidel Castro in �Save America,� the
former president�s new photo book that also provides commentary.

Lloyd Axworthy and Allan Rock call the section in the book �profoundly
offensive,� interpreting it as a flagrant attempt to politically
undermine Justin Trudeau.

�We just thought it�s about time Canadians showed some outrage about this
attempt to interfere into our affairs,� Axworthy, Canada�s former top
diplomat and Liberal Party elder statesman, said in an interview with
POLITICO.

�Part of the Trump or the autocratic playbook is to get people�s
confidence undermined, and it�s clear coming out in a book like that, it
would be picked up by all kinds of enablers.�

Trump writes in his new coffee-table book that Trudeau�s mother,
Margaret, was �somehow associated� with Castro and notes that �a lot of
people say that Justin is his son.�

The former president adds: �He swears that he isn�t but how the hell
would he know! Castro had good hair, the �father� didn�t, Justin has good
hair, and has become a Communist just like Castro.�
Justin Trudeau speaks.

Margaret Trudeau�s party lifestyle was a spectator sport during Pierre
Trudeau�s days as prime minister. That included a famous spell partying
with the Rolling Stones, which earned mentions in Keith Richards�
autobiography.

The Canadian government has been forced to outright deny the long-running
conspiracy theories. The age-old Castro rumor has been thoroughly
debunked by this point.

Trump�s musings motivated the former Cabinet colleagues to demand that
Trump withdraw the book from circulation until the �offending passage� is
removed.

They�ve addressed their letter to Trump at Mar-a-Lago and sent copies to
U.S. Ambassador to Canada David Cohen and Canada�s envoy in the U.S.,
Kirsten Hillman.

Axworthy, who served in Pierre Trudeau�s Cabinet and first met Justin
Trudeau when the future prime minister was just 4 or 5 years old, said he
doesn�t think Trump will apologize, but he does expect the ambassadors to
take up the issue.

�There is a lot of damage that can be done as this book goes out for
publication and that story stays the way it is,� he said.

Canadian officials have been careful to avoid weighing in on the
presidential race. In a full-court press, Trudeau�s �Team Canada� has
traveled to 33 states and met with 42 governors knowing the country�s
economic security hinges on a review of the USMCA trade pact that will
begin after the U.S. election.

Axworthy, a former foreign minister, acknowledges he can speak much more
freely than anyone on Trudeau�s team right now, although he said he�s not
had contact with the office.

He says he�s speaking out because Trump is breaking an �unwritten rule�
of diplomacy that leaders refrain from publicly interfering in the
affairs of a foreign country in an �underhanded� way.

�I have a sense that as he grows older, he�s losing any sense of
restraint. We saw that in the debate the other night, where he�s
repeating this thing about Haitian immigrants eating cats and dogs.�

Another conspiracy theory that proved untrue.
