Justin Trudeau’s Painful Last Faceplant – by Matt Taibbi

Trudeau was a product of the World Economic Forum s Young Global Leaders program, which markets itself as a dynamic community of exceptional people who learn to foster collaboration in the global public interest with an aim to scale-up, amplify and accelerate their collective impact. This is bullshit-ese for hive-minding the half-wit offspring of the 1% to pilot global institutions in unearned positions of influence. Graduates include the Queen of Denmark, Prime Ministers of Belgium, Finland, Georgia, New Zealand, and the UK (David Cameron!), as well as Anderson Cooper, Pete Buttigieg, Ashton Kutcher, Leo DiCaprio, Sheryl Sandberg, Chelsea Clinton, and (!) Chris Tucker. He was, in other words, a political Mouseketeer, product of a corporate fame factory that thrust handsome young things into positions of influence once they proved minimal ability to sing and dance. It can t be an accident that Trudeau s second favorite Justin is a real Mouseketeer ( Justin Timberlake, the real JT, as he put it) or that he showed up at the First Man launch party to meet another in Ryan Gosling.
