The response on X, formerly Twitter, was swift and merciless. Supporters were quick to point out the perceived hypocrisy of the politician, particularly given his past stances on American politics and environmental issues. One user lashed out, stating: “Just last year you told people to boycott the US because of the big bad orange man but here you are, hanging at Coachella (using plastic products your party banned), shopping in NYC with your untalented son and now cheering US soccer. Hypocrite as usual.”
Others targeted the phrasing of his defense, with one critic calling Trudeau “still insufferable.” Even his use of the word “girlfriend” became a point of contention for some, with a commenter posting: “That’s disgusting! Boyfriend at this age, you have big kids bro!” Trudeau shares three children with his ex-wife, Sophie.
