Trump Sent Canada...
This is a bizarre way to communicate with your #1 trade partner.
Quote:Donald Trump reportedly tore out a magazine picture of Justin Trudeau, scrawled a brief note about the Canadian prime minister “looking good”, and made White House officials mail it to the neighbouring country’s embassy.
The message – first reported by Axios – is said to have been written by the US president on the torn-out cover of a May 2017 issue of Bloomberg Businessweek, which featured an image of Mr Trudeau alongside a caption reading “The Anti-Trump”.
On it, Mr Trump reportedly jotted a note reading something to the effect of, “Looking good! Hope it's not true!" according to the US news outlet.
The Canadian ambassador considered the note so strange he thought it was a prank, but after calling US officials was told the note was genuine.
Although some White House staff reportedly considered the note inappropriate, the National Security Council ultimately decided it was done in good humour and would be considered by Ottawa to be friendly contact.

RE: Trump Sent Canada...
So, a hand written note by your president of the US to the cuck-leader of canada is inappropriate?

No one on either side (Canada or US) is denying it happened either. So that's de facto confirmation.

Are you pretending like it isn't abnormal behavior?
1. Your president writing a letter to another head of state.
2. You failing to honor a bet.
Which one is "abnormal" ?

“Get used to it. It’s the new normal”. Barry obama.

It is writing a letter. It was short and to the point. If the little cuck with a mouth wants to spout off and look big, there will be consequences to pay. (Like his little press conference he held the moment Trump left for Asia) This is the typical ploy of someone who tries to act tough, then pees his pants and complains about getting bullied. Sounds eerily familiar to the situation with a ban bet.

The POTUS just snail-mail'd a creepy valentine to a foreign embassy and you equate it to just another letter correspondence. Bless your heart.

Hasn’t he been doing this for decades? He signs them at the bottom too, like the recipient is supposed to keep it like a souvenir.
Hilarious.

Well, this line of thought mirrors the special counsel's idea of not being assumed innocent and findings not exonerating.
