A viral video of several world leaders openly mocking President Donald Trump is lighting up the internet, and it even led to Trump taking a cheap shot at Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
HuffPost reports:
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emmanuel Macron, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte and who appears to be Princess Anne all feature in the clip tweeted by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that’s garnered more than 5 million views.
In the video, Johnson asks Macron:
“Is that why you were late?”
Before the French leader can respond, Trudeau interjects:
“He was late because he takes a 40-minute press conference off the top.”
Minutes later, Trudeau remarks that “you just watched his team’s jaws drop to the floor.”
Here’s the video:
.@JustinTrudeau, @EmmanuelMacron, @BorisJohnson and other VIPs shared a few words at a Buckingham Palace reception Tuesday. No one mentions @realDonaldTrump by name, but they seem to be discussing his lengthy impromptu press conferences from earlier in the day. (Video: Host Pool) pic.twitter.com/dVgj48rpOP

George Conway, husband of White House adviser Kellyanne Conway, also commented on the video, taking a wicked shot at Trump:
.@realDonaldTrump, you are the laughingstock of the planet. The world thinks you are an incompetent, ignorant, dumb, deranged buffoon—and they are right. And you prove it to them every day. https://t.co/mR0z1xwtaf

Here’s some other responses to the video:
These leaders all know they are on tape all the time. They know what they’re doing. They’re sending a message to the world. Even Boris Johnson, who faces an election in days in a country in which Trump is toxically unpopular, is in on it. https://t.co/gi4UPLgKMX

Oh My God.
I knew this happened.
But I’ve yet to see it up close.
And personal.
Until now.
Trudeau, Macron, Johnson, Rutte and Princess Anne in Buckingham Palace, openly mock Trump.
Cannot wait for this to be The Crown Season 8. https://t.co/ZuHIxwy8ta

I covered many Int’l summits & I’ve never seen a leader debasing his country as Trump did today-not even Berlusconi displayed such vulgarity/ ignorance.@GOP’s biggest lie is that Trump’s America is respected – It’s actually loathed & a laughing stock.??pic.twitter.com/yreED3vWKt

Donald Trump is a clown who has made the United States a complete joke. It’s reason 5,987,347 that he needs to be replaced.
