Its not a style or strategy, he's just grossly uninformed. He'd be fired immediately from any other job for being woefully unprepared and uninformed.

[garettjames]

Anyone watching this knows they'd be fired instantly from their job if they went into a meeting with their company's biggest partner and embarrassed the company with this gross ignorance.

A room full of old farts that make millions and not one person has a smartphone to pull out and google? Wtf

[janmay]

The President may find this funny but I can assure you, we are not laughing on the other side of the northern border. We take the matter of governing seriously.

[edugebdron]

It's not so much the lying but the ignorance, he has to lie so much because he's so ignorant.he knows nothing about pretty much everything

[OrphanAnnie]

How the GOP are allowing this circus to continue, is disgusting.
They are complicit in all of this!

[JSythe]

Are we really surprised here? This is the presidency of alternative facts.

[maryelizabeth]

Oh my God. Truedeau came to the table with facts. How respectful of the situation.

[feebeedoc]

It's funny, cos it's true. Except it's not funny because it is true. Please stop him.

[ThisPageStaysREAL]

Surprised?  He does the same thing with his everyday "facts" he spews to his freak-show of a base.

[brandowag]

we really need a class of politicians that can extricate their heads from their rears

[jamesl]

The president and his staff need to learn about google and research. It’s a good thing to do before you do anything

[purplemajesty]

This is dangerous, not cute, not smart, not funny, and certainly not a leader!!

[annejovanovich]

I can’t even believe he walks into a meeting to discuss international trade with no clue as to whether there is a deficit or not, zero preparation, unbelievable. Reminds me of the Devos interview on 60 Minutes. No preparation and no idea, just smile and make it up as you go along.

What a dirt in white house and actually it is orange dirt

[tmcleanful]

LOL Reminds me of all the times I had to work around cultural marxist graduates of the school of social justice suffering from Dunning-Kruger because, even though their work was crap, they "felt that it was sufficiently good". Great work CNN.

[loretocataldi]

Trump is at his most Ernest when he is lying

[Kinggregory]

DDC (don da con)... Actually admit to lying ... what a SHOCKER ....

[danmar]

CNN says that WaPo says that Trump says ... Endless entertainment. Trudeau probably wasn't even listening.

[johndavid]

Trudeau doesn't like meetings, unless they are gay events. He would prefer to just play in the playground.
