On today’s episode of “Trump Derangement Syndrome…”

In a shocking (ahem) development, CBS News, ABC News, and NBC News on Monday blamed incoming President Donald Trump for the resignation of Canada’s embattled far-left Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Trudeau made the expected announcement on Monday, saying in an address to the nation that he was stepping down as leader of Canada’s Liberal Party and his Prime Minister post once a replacement is chosen for both roles. Meanwhile, Parliament will be prorogued, or suspended, until March 24.

President-elect Donald Trump has mercilessly trolled Trudeau (justifiably so) in the aftermath of his decisive presidential election win, including suggesting Canada should become America’s 51st state (a bad idea) and ridiculing the prime minister by suggesting he could become the new state’s governor.

Needless to say, Trump wasn’t exactly torn up by Trudeau’s announcement.

Anyway, back to the alphabet media.

Smug-as-ever “ABC World News Tonight” anchor David Muir reported Trudeau’s resignation in what amounted to little more than a brief (emphasis, mine). While Muir didn’t directly blame Trump for Trudeau’s exit, he did link the incoming president to the news.

North of the border in Canada tonight, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announcing his resignation after nine years as prime minister. Trudeau facing growing discontent over the economy and immigration, and divisions in his own government. President-Elect Trump has also threatened major tariffs for Canada. Trudeau will stay in office until at least March.

Do you suppose it occurred to Muir and ABC that Trump’s dissatisfaction with Trudeau might be due to the embattled prime minister’s complete failure in his job? Me, neither. My point is that Trudeau made his own bed. By the time of Trump’s election win, the far-left prime minister’s days were likely already numbered.

Next up, used-to-be-rational “NBC Nightly News” anchor Lester Holt and derisive commentator Andrea Mitchell put their TDS spin on Trudeau’s resignation.

HOLT:
Canada’s longtime Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced today he is stepping down as he faced growing turmoil at home and a difficult relationship with President-Elect Donald Trump. Here is Andrea Mitchell.

MITCHELL: Tonight, deeply unpopular at home because of soaring prices and ridiculed by President-Elect Trump, Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau bowing out.

[…]

The son of a popular prime minister, Trudeau’s movie star looks and photogenic young family made him an international star. But in recent years, he was criticized for inflation and immigration. Three weeks ago, his closest adviser, the deputy prime minister, resigned.

[…]

MITCHELL:
A final blow, tension with President-Elect Trump, who threatened Canada with 25% tariffs. Despite Trudeau rushing to Mar-a-Lago to appease him, Trump blames Canada for fentanyl and undocumented immigrants crossing the border, and Canada’s trade advantage with the U.S. Mocking him on Truth Social as a governor, posting today: “Many people in Canada LOVE being the 51st state.”

[…]

Trudeau will still be prime minister for a few months of Trump’s presidency while Canada decides how to replace him. Lester.

Meanwhile, over at “CBS Evening News,” condescending anchor Nora O’Donnell and Canadian journalist Elizabeth Palmer, who reports for CBS, went to town on Trump.

O’DONNELL: There is major news tonight concerning America’s neighbor to the north. Justin Trudeau announced today that he’s stepping down as leader of Canada’s governing party after serving nearly a decade as prime minister. CBS’s Elizabeth Palmer now on what led to Trudeau’s downfall.

PALMER: With his popularity plunging, no one was surprised by the announcement.

[…]

He was invited to The White House by successive presidents, on a mission to keep relations with Canada’s largest trading partner sweet. But in the last couple of years, things soured for him. He separated from his wife and faced public anger about inflation and a housing crisis.

Then, President-Elect Trump, who in his first term had welcomed Trudeau, threatened tariffs that would cripple the Canadian economy and insultingly called him the governor of America’s 51st state. Today Justin Trudeau chose to walk away from that fight, and the job of leading that troubled country.

As iconic CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite famously ended his nightly broadcasts, “And that’s the way it is.”

Indeed. And that’s the way it’s going to be for the next four years.
