Marjorie Taylor Greene Credits Trump For 'Liberating' Canada After PM Trudeau Resigns

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene credited President-elect Donald Trump for the resignation of Justin Trudeau as Canadian Prime Minister and leader of the country's Liberal Party by "trolling" him.

In a publication on her X account, Greene said Trump "liberated" Canada after "trolling Trudeau by calling him Governor of Canada." She went on to say that "After tyrannical Covid abuse, destroying free speech, importing military aged male "refugees", and being Zelensky's biggest cheerleader, Trudeau RESIGNS!"

Trudeau announced his resignation on Monday, saying he will step down from both posts after "the party selects its next leader through a robust, nationwide, competitive process."

"This country deserves a real choice in the next election, and it has become clear to me that if I have to fight internal battles I cannot be the best option in that election," he added.

The announcement came as a growing number of Liberal MPs called on Trudeau to resign as party leader. He had been resisting in his post, but the situation became unsustainable after Chrystia Freeland, his top lieutenant and finance minister, resigned in mid-December citing policy differences.

Freeland said in a letter that she resigned after being approached by Trudeau about potentially being moved to a new cabinet role. She also said they were "at odds" regarding the best way to handle Trump, who has been threatening to impose tariffs on Canadian products and teased with making Canada a new U.S. state. As mentioned by Greene in her publication, Trump repeatedly called Trudeau the "governor" and Canada the 51st state of the United States.

Trudeau had been largely away from the public eye since Freeland's resignation. He spent the holidays at a ski resort in western Canada and hadn't spoken to press since his return to Ottawa.

The Conservative Party, in turn, is reportedly gearing up to introduce a motion of non-confident in the Liberal government as early as this month. A recent survey by Nanos Research showed the party with a large lead. The new Liberal leader will take on Conservative Pierre Poilievre in the next federal election.
