Trump's Trade Adviser Apologizes for 'Inappropriate' Trudeau Comments
Source: Bloomberg
White House trade adviser Peter Navarro apologized for suggesting Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau deserved a special place in hell for a perceived breach in protocol against U.S. President Donald Trump.
My job was to send a signal of strength, he said at a conference in Washington on Tuesday. The problem was that in conveying that message I used language that was inappropriate.
I own that, that was my mistake, those were my words.

(8,200 posts)I really wish that one fine day that someone has the guts to wipe up the street with this piece of crap that washed up from the sewer into the White House. He insults people without any restraint because he thinks that his wealth gives him the right to do so. Look at all the mealy-mouthed clowns that ran against him. He insulted everyone of them and they slinked away with their tails between their legs like pathetic dogs. His treatment of women is atrocious and not one male with any backbone came to their protection.

Sad to see those guys buy into the myth that ugly bullying and taunts show strength.

(59,511 posts)He actually sounds like he is apologizing for saying "hell". In fact, the problem was his characterization of what Trudeau said, his over the top calling that out and a comment that suggested that other leaders should cow tow to the great Donald Trump.
This actually makes it worse.
