Justin Trudeau has been ridiculed on social media by Indians for his 'tacky' and over the top outfit choices while on his first visit to their nation as Prime Minister. While many praised his clothing during the first two days of his trip, patience was wearing thin by the time he attended a Bollywood gala on Tuesday night, before the tide turned against him on Wednesday. Ministers, authors, journalists and ordinary Indians lined up to mock him on Wednesday, saying his wardrobe was 'fake and annoying'.“Fake and annoying”? Well, at least Justin — a man who said he wants to raise “feminist” sons and recommends that “peoplekind” be used instead of “mankind” — gave his hosts an accurate impression. The Mail also related, “Leading the criticism was Omar Abdullah, former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, who tweeted on Wednesday saying Trudeau's preening was 'all just a bit much.'” “'We Indians do not dress like this every day[,] sir, not even in Bollywood,’” he wrote. Then, a Bombay-based writer named Shunali Khullar Shroff tweeted, “Who advised Justin Trudeau to dress like a bridegroom at the Bombay event? Only a horse and sehra seemed to be missing.” Justin’s inanity reminds me of a hilarious clip from the show Malcolm in the Middle. The scene involves a different kind of Indian and is set in Alaska, and you can watch it below (trust me, it’s worth a minute and a half of your time).
When authority rises and all must be hush, but then someone yells out...
"did you run out of coloring books Justin"
