MAGA influencers on Friday appeared to crack after Katy Perry launched a promotional clip for her newest single, “Watch It Burn,” which included a cameo by former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — her boyfriend and a longtime foe of President Donald Trump.
Perry posted the clip on TikTok with the caption, “Historical texts say that when you hop to this tune you’ll get 1,000 years of fine luck.” Whereas it was arguably quaint and featured Trudeau merely hop previous within the background, the roar from right-wing critics was swift and heavy.
“What are you doing, bro?” Griff Jenkins, co-host of “Fox & Buddies Weekend,” mentioned throughout Saturday’s broadcast. “Actually, a 54-year-old grown man dancing in [a clip with his] girlfriend Katy Perry … bear in mind he divorced his spouse after leaving the prime minister’s workplace.”
Jenkins continued, “I don’t know what to say about this apart from, ‘That’s bizarre.’”
Trudeau beforehand incurred the wrath of MAGA voters over his strained relationship with Trump, who has repeatedly mentioned Canada needs to be the 51st U.S. state — and known as its then-leader “weak” and “dishonest” in 2018 and “two-faced” throughout a 2019 NATO summit.
“It was not on my bingo card for Fidel Castro’s grandson,” quipped “Fox & Buddies” co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy, the spouse of Trump loyalist Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, fanning a conspiracy principle Saturday that Trudeau is the descendant of Cuba’s late chief.
Whereas the previous prime minister turned more and more unpopular in his house nation over the course of his last time period and stepped down in 2025 after a dramatic decline in approval scores, the furor over his cameo appeared fairly outsized given its size: Trudeau hopped throughout the body for a complete of three seconds within the 15-second promo clip.
“Former Canadian PM Justin Trudeau is leaping round like a clown with Katy Perry. These leaders are so female…,” wrote one self-described “Fact Seeker” on X, with one other individual commenting: “Katy Perry is dressed like a 16 12 months previous and Trudeau appears like a stalker.”
Dr. Jebra Faushay, creator of “UNWOKE: An Unfiltered Escape from the Cult of Wokeness,” voiced her criticism with even stronger disparagement, writing Friday, “Katy Perry is dressed like an enormous toddler whereas Justin Trudeau bops round like a retard. Pure cringe.”
