No, Trump, Justin Trudeau Is Not Castro's Son
You have to take a deep breath at the audacity of Trump’s derangement.

If it isn’t enough evidence of his severe cognitive decline that he is continuing to tout the malicious and baseless claim that Haitian immigrants are eating pets in Ohio, he is now going international in his likely Alzheimer’s induced cauldron of mentally unsound conspiracy theories that live rent free inside his brain (or what’s left of it).

According to Politico, Trump is making the crazed claim that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is the son of Fidel Castro, marking his Laura Loomer-style conspiracy theories going international. The (yes, yet again bizarre) assertion is made in a soon-to-be released coffee table book (photos with Trump commentary) that Canadian officials got a heads-up on, and they are demanding the book not be released until the defamatory claims are removed:

[Lloyd] Axworthy, a former foreign minister, acknowledges he can speak much more freely than anyone on Trudeau’s team right now. He says he’s speaking out because Trump is breaking an “unwritten rule” of diplomacy that leaders refrain from publicly interfering in the affairs of a foreign country in an “underhanded” way. “I have a sense that as he grows older, he’s losing any sense of restraint. We saw that in the debate the other night, where he’s repeating this thing about Haitian immigrants eating cats and dogs.”

Two former high-ranking Canadian government officials called the bonkers assertion “vile, vulgar, and deeply offensive.”.

In the book, Trump cites as evidence for his demented charge: Trump writes in his new coffee-table book that Trudeau’s mother, Margaret, was “somehow associated” with Castro and notes that “a lot of people say that Justin is his son. The former president adds: “He swears that he isn’t but how the hell would he know! Castro had good hair, the ‘father’ didn’t, Justin has good hair, and has become a Communist just like Castro.”

Many thanks to our neighbors to the north, who abide by civility and good government, to push back against the deviant to their south. ---
