Default Trudeau Pauses for dramatic effect

For the first time in his political career sock boy stops to think before answering a question, and it made international news.
Mind you it came across as a well rehearsed dramatic pause but it had the desired effect, the media are lapping it up.

every time I see his smarmy face on TV I want to hurl.

I viewed it as him being stumped. His handlers didn't prepare him for that question so he didn't know how to answer.

The question caught Freeland off guard and it took her a while to tell him what to say.

The true reason he has a mop for a hairdo is to hide the intel earphone.

My guess is he was high and it caught him off guard because it wasn't scripted.

He usually doesn’t know how to answer, ever see him answer a question posed by the opposition in parliament with anything that actually qualifies as answering the question posed rather than rambling off into their most overused talking points?

The occasions where he does answer is when he’s thrown softball questions by friendly news outlets.

Ha ha yup what a goof ball. But remember this, there is only one Trudeau to hate.
All the voters that wanted him in make me more angry and that is what this country is all about now unfortunately...

Newsflash for you. He will get in again...

Unfortunately your newsflash is right... I can’t fathom how anyone could vote for him. On the other hand the conservatives aren’t offering much of an alternative.

Conservatives are a joke. We used to have some strong conservative leadership in the past. It’s a very very sad state we are in.

He was thinking about how to paint Canada as an equally racist country, in the most smug and sanctimonious way possible.

He's actually had a lot of practice at that whole pause bit. It's when he usually swallows.

Must have taken his prompter a while to sort through all the cue cards to find the answer that JT needed to read from to answer that question. Embarrassing that this guy is the leader of our country.

Having been behind the curtain so to speak in my younger days, I would bet everything I own that he was listening to a feed. The straight ahead eyes, the subcontious nodding of the head, the slight body shift, the soft tone coming out of pause building louder, ..I have seen it a million times.

Exactly what I have been thinking since this sh!t show started.
When the scripted questions go off script he has someone (Butts) in his ear
telling him what to say. They might as well have their hand up his ***** like
the puppet he is.

This coming from black/brown face. Racism starts at the top. For him to act that way as a youngster show his parents were racist as well.

Unfortunately, it is the citizens of Canada that need help. I couldn't stand to watch the video to the end. Did he ever answer the question? I would be surprised if he did but just can't watch the guy. I sure used to think better of the people in Ontario and Quebec before they voted him in. It makes me happy to live in the Prairies.

That turd is a goof and an embarrassment to our country. Can’t stand the sight of him.

As much as I cannot stomach the turd, that was pretty impressive, even stately. He didn't even throw Trump under the bus. And no, I am not a supporter or commie or left wing or whatever else you want to throw at me.

I agree. It sent a message without a work for 20 seconds. I’m sure Trump will comment at his next speech as soon as he is out of his bunker.

Me too, I hate Trudeau, but it looked like it took alot of restraint for him there. How does one even comment on Trump's actions? removing protesters so that he could take a photo op to stroke his own narcissistic ego in an attempt to look like a tough guy? Then posing holding up a borrowed Bible like he is leading the people out of the promised land? that was utterly ridiculous and did nothing but stoke the fire.

I'm not sure how else one could answer the question directly - I would have deflected too.
