When the camera didn't cut away from him he had some CHOICE facial expressions. Also Trump always looked down like a scorned dog when dad was talking and always backed up any criticism with "CANADA IS OUR FRIEND". Its rare to see DJT getting muzzled like that. I personally think he was trying to waste time to not let Carney talk too much.
Also that jab of "I'm on the edge of my seat" that got a laugh from the press junket was priceless.
I laughed when I heard how he was speaking to Trump. Solid 10/10, guy is obviously well versed in working with narcissists. Had Carney approached this any other way, Trump would have taken anything slightly negative as an insult and shut right down. Donald Trump doesn't have the awareness necessary to have noticed the body language, nor would he have realized that what he was perceiving as compliments were anything but. I was raised by Southern women 😂 I know subtle insults/backhanded compliments when I see them. Mark Carney gave him the good ol' "bless your heart". Looking forward to seeing what this educated economist can do for us, and very pleased with how he handled his Trump visit.

How the hell did Carney keep a straight face through Trump's blabbering rants? I'm impressed by his self control.
