Eugene Robinson: Trump’s Advisers Used Language About Trudeau That Is Usually Reserved for Stalin or Mao

‘Something about him drives Trump crazy’

EXCERPT:

ROBINSON: "I know. So he does that when he’s feeling insecure, when Trump is feeling insecure. And so is it his youth? Is it the fact that he’s a pretty good-looking guy?"
SCARBOROUGH: "I have no idea."
ROBINSON: “Something about him drives Trump crazy. But speaking of crazy, think just how insane this is, I mean how insane and amateurish this whole thing is. First, Trump, you know, goes berserk about this mild statement that Trudeau made. And then his advisers go out using language that’s usually reserved for, you know, Stalin or Mao.“
HUNT: “Maybe the leader of North Korea.”
ROBINSON: “Exactly, right. 'Special place in hell.' And there’s this idea they voice that Trudeau tried to make him look bad.”
