President-elect Donald Trump is not sorry to see the "toxic" former Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland resign from cabinet.
Freeland announced her resignation Monday morning, in a scathing letter addressed to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. In it, she said the prime minister on Friday said he wanted to to replace her as finance minister.
Trump caught wind of the goings-on in Canadian Parliament and seized the opportunity to yet again refer to the prime minister as "Governor Trudeau," a joke he adopted while Trudeau was at Mar-a-Lago discussing trade tariffs in November.
Trump at the time, after Trudeau told the incoming president the tariffs would kill the Canadian economy, Trump reportedly retorted that if Canada can't survive without US subsidies, it should become the 51st state — and Trudeau could be governor.
"The great state of Canada is stunned as the finance minister resigns, or was fired, from her position by Governor Justin Trudeau," wrote Trump on social media Monday night.
"Her behavior was totally toxic and not at all conducive to making deals which are good for the very unhappy citizens of Canada."
"She will not be missed!!!"
