Justin Trudeau is embarrassing himself with his…
It’s the stuff of a $1 romance novel that’s only out there on Kindle.
Last week, a video dropped of former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dancing like a idiot in the aisle of a Montreal {hardware} store with girlfriend Katy Perry while holding a plunger.

Have you ever read a more surreal or nonsensical string of phrases in your life?
Well, that’s what truly occurred. For we live in a surreal and nonsensical world.

I’ve stayed silent for a 12 months, but their true patriot love has develop into more than I can bear.
Trudeau’s cringeworthy retail jam session is no less weird, actually, than Tom Cruise wildly leaping on Oprah’s sofa 21 years in the past to proclaim his love for another Katie.
Except Cruise is a Hollywood actor. They’re all loons. Prettyboy Trudeau, despite clearly craving the glamorous trappings of celeb, is a former world chief who still needs to be taken severely.
Proving it, 4 days after he cut the rug with a toilet device for an Instagram video, immediately critical Trudeau spoke to news retailers about the continuing commerce negotiations between Canada and the US. He insisted they “will get to the right place.”

But who’s going to pay attention to the man who’s so very publicly dwelling his teenage dream?
Fifty-four-year-old Trudeau, who led his nation for a decade before resigning last 12 months, and the 41-year-old “I Kissed A Girl” singer have been Canada canoodling since last July.
Trudeau separated from his spouse of 18 years, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, with whom he shares three children, in 2023. And Perry cut up from fiancé Orlando Bloom in June 2025. They have a daughter. One month later, she was all aboot Justin.
Right away, he was seen googly-eyed and singing along to “Firework” at Perry’s Montreal live performance.

That was unusual, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt at the time. With just 21.5% approving of Trudeau’s Liberal Party by the end of his run, I’m sure he was feeling like a plastic bag, drifting through the wind, wanting to start again.
Around then, a source told People of the duo, “They have a lot in common.”
That’s an allegation so alarming that Trudeau ought to’ve disclosed it before operating for workplace.
In the months to observe, there have been sightings galore. The pair was noticed kissing on Perry’s yacht off the coast of Santa Barbara, Calif. And they jetted to Paris for her forty first birthday. They lounged on a boat in Mykonos and obtained scantily clad in Saint-Tropez. They go on ski journeys and post cutesy selfies. They’re addicted to being seen.

One look was not just like the others, though: An official wanting meet-up with former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his spouse. The quartet posed for a stiff, ceremonial photograph and Trudeau tweeted, “Katy and I were so glad to have the chance to sit down with you and Yuko.”
Social media customers have been livid over Perry’s “inappropriate” apparel.
The pop star also joined him in Davos at the World Economic Forum in January.
Weird. It all has a whiff of Wallis Simpson to it.
This spring, the couple got here to New York for the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of Perry’s live performance film “Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour — Live from Paris,” where, a source told Page Six, they couldn’t keep their fingers off each other.
On the crimson carpet, Trudeau told “Entertainment Tonight” that while he had certainly attended the gig, he was too smitten to discover a lot of it.
“I saw the show three times, but I wasn’t really paying attention to anything but Katy,” he said. “So I’m looking forward to seeing the show now for the first time.”

Could you think about Bill Clinton saying such a factor? Wait — don’t reply that.
I can’t converse to Canadian precedent (though I’m fairly sure Stephen Harper isn’t relationship Sabrina Carpenter), but US presidents have a tendency to keep a dignified low profile in post-West Wing life while still making an affect.
Richard Nixon was an casual overseas coverage advisor to a number of commanders-in-chief. Jimmy Carter grew to become a famous humanitarian. George H.W. Bush and Clinton mixed forces to raise money for victims of natural disasters. Barack Obama is a Hollywood producer.
Actually, maintain on, scratch that last one.
But I keep coming back to tunnel-visioned Trudeau’s crimson carpet quote: “I wasn’t really paying attention to anything but Katy.”
Certainly appears that means.
Trade talks between the US and Canada, which he said would “get to the right place,” dramatically collapsed on Saturday — the same day new 50% tariffs took impact.
But, concern not, Justin and Katy are still going strong!
