President Donald Trump sparked fresh ridicule Thursday night as he dramatically yanked Canada’s invitation to his exclusive Board of Peace initiative.
In a bitter Truth Social post aimed directly at Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Trump made the rejection crystal clear.
“Please let this Letter serve to represent that the Board of Peace is withdrawing its invitation to you regarding Canada’s joining, what will be, the most prestigious Board of Leaders ever assembled, at any time,” wrote Trump.
At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Carney delivered an eye-popping speech arguing that the U.S.‑led global order is in an irreversible “rupture” and urging “middle powers” to cooperate so they are not exploited by great powers.
In his own Davos speech the following day, an irked Trump explicitly called out Carney, saying Canada “benefits greatly” from the United States and “should be grateful.” He went further, declaring that “Canada lives because of the United States” and warning, “Remember that, Mark, next time you make your statements.”
Internet critics scoffed at Trump’s disinvitation, likening it to petulant classmates telling each other to find another lunch table.
Democratic strategist Chris D. Jackson chided on X, “Petulant child.”
Award-winning author Jennifer Erin Valent wrote on X, “This is like a preteen angrily uninviting someone to what they claim will be the party of the year.”
Cam Holmstrom, founder of an indigenous-owned and operated government affairs and public relations firm, wrote on X, “The petulance, the pettiness, the immaturity…. also known as exactly what we already knew about this guy This has such strong ‘you can’t fire me, I quit!’ vibes.”
Doug Garnett, host of the Marketing Podcast, wrote on X, “a badge of honor for Canada.”
Former Journalist Eric Lloyd shared a gif on X of a famous “Mean Girls” clip in which the character Gretchen Wieners, played by Lacey Chabert, delivers the iconic line, “You can’t sit with us!”
AttorneyJeff Robbins joked on X, “I bet Canadians are devastated.”
Former ABC and CBS producer Bill Huffman wrote on X, “What @realDonaldTrump doesn’t realize is that this is all make-believe. To create a new charter or treaty, you need 2/3 approval from Congress. So basically, he just took a billion dollars from each of these DICTATORS to belong to an imaginary club. What could go wrong?”
