PC Leader Doug Ford was captured on video after a news conference Monday saying he was happy that President Donald Trump had won the most recent U.S. election — that is until Trump responded with tariff threats that could cause massive harm to Ontario’s economy.
“Election day, was I happy this guy won? One hundred per cent I was,” Ford said. “But then the guy pulled out the knife and f–king yanked it into us.”
When asked about the comments Monday, a PC Party spokesperson referred to a statement Ford had made moments before at the same news conference, where he said he is “absolutely not” a Trump supporter any longer.
“It’s just so disappointing. I’m sure there’s millions of Canadians that thought ‘OK, this might be a good change down in the U.S.’ — [but] it’s been a disaster,” Ford said. "I’d never support that guy in my entire life.
Gosh if only we had known Trump was self-interested and unstable before all of this… If only.
To be fair, there was no possible way to know this. You can’t expect people to do the impossible and observe a man before he runs for president!
And certainly not when he’s running for a second term, let’s be fuckin reasonable here eh?
