Mark Carney showed Donald Trump precisely what a world statesman looks like and the look on Trump’s face spoke volumes
To the G7 summit in Canada now, which for Donald Trump at least was over almost before it had begun after he cut short his visit for pressing issues back in the White House.
Maybe he wanted to go back and get his hands on the very first Trump Mobile, who knows?
Despite his brief stay it was still a memorable meeting for Trump, dropping his newly-signed UK trade agreement all over the place and getting magnificently shut down by Canadian premier Mark Carney (which some people reckoned was the real reason he left early).
And talking of Carney there was one particular moment where the Canadian PM demonstrated to Trump and everyone else what a proper world statesman looks like.
Not only was it magnificently done, it felt like a tiny ray of hope that there are still some grown-ups left at the top table.

Trump hates when he’s not in control of the dialogue.

Nice to see a well spoken and knowledgeable person on the world stage! No mention of how he won the election by a lot or bad mouthing conservatives on the other side of the isle. This is how it’s done America!!!

The competence and confidence would have killed Trump – forcing his ego to compel him to leave. A wonderful address by PM Carney.
I am proud that Canada is being seen as the best way to deal with the worst of American, Trump. https://t.co/NuWetHCskJ

Carney gave a nod to President Macron first in French then got around to Trump. He also kept the more values-based words in French so Trump didn’t get defensive.
The mention of a turning point (being caused by Trump) is pure dramatic irony #G7Kananaskis2025 #CndPoli https://t.co/A6WBc5vv9s

His experience shows. Solid tone. Good outline of the agenda while diplomatically pointing out the major challenges caused by some at the table. No backing down from the confrontations that lay ahead. Very smooth and intelligent people picked up what he was laying down.

Trump is incapable of sitting up straight which makes him look old and weak. Good!

And – oh yes – talking of Trump, compare and contrast if you will.
