President Trump mocked Prime Minister Trudeau for celebrating Thanksgiving six weeks early.
Shortly after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau released a statement wishing the people of Canada a Happy Thanksgiving on 9 October 2017, a â€œsatiricalâ€ web siteÂ published an article claiming that U.S. President Donald Trump had mocked Trudeau for celebrating Thanksgiving early: < Calling him â€œa laughing stockâ€ and â€œan embarrassment to his countryâ€, American President Donald Trump savaged his North American counterpart with a series of tweets mocking the Canadian Prime Minister for celebrating Thanksgiving â€œ6 weeks early.â€ Declaring to his 40.2 million Twitter followers at 7:03am,Â Trump announced, â€œJustin Trudeau has just tweeted â€˜Happy Thanksgivingâ€™ in the middle of October,â€ adding, â€œthis has to be the dumbest tweet in history. Idiot!â€ > Burrard Street Journal, the web site behind the false story, also posted a screenshot purportedly showing Trumpâ€™s mocking tweet: However, Trump tweeted no such thing. Burrard Street Journal created the image using digital manipulation.Â The Burrard Street JournalÂ (the BS Journal) is a â€œsatiricalâ€ publication that does not publish factualÂ content: < If you clicked here then you are probably doubting the legitimacy of one of our articles. Well friend, those are some good instincts, as the Burrard Street JournalÂ is aÂ satireÂ news, parody and humor website and is for entertainment purposes only. AllÂ Burrard Street JournalÂ andÂ Burrard Street FootballÂ articles are satireÂ newsÂ and entirely fabricated. Any resemblance to the truth is purely coincidental, except for all references to sportsÂ personalitiesÂ and/or celebrities, in which case they are based on real people, but still based almost entirely in fiction. > Trudeau did indeed send out a Thanksgiving message on 9 October 2017. Canada celebrates Thanksgiving on theÂ second Monday of October. In the United States the holiday occurs on the fourthÂ Thursday of November.
