Did you know Barack Obama and Justin Trudeau are trending all across social media?
Current Events
This week, OK WASSUP! will break tradition and feature TWO very important videos of the week.
On Tuesday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was asked about Donald Trump’s call for military action against American protesters and the tear-gassing of peaceful demonstrators to make way for a photo-op. The fact that Mr. Trudeau took a full 21-seconds on live television to find the right words to rebuke Trump’s dictator act “delicately” pretty much said it all!

Then, on Wednesday, former President Barack Obama broadcast a Town Hall program on his website and personally thanked the protesters across the nation and urged young Americans to “feel hopeful even as you may feel angry” because he feels change is coming.
“In some ways as tragic as these past few weeks have been, as difficult and scary and uncertain as they’ve been, they’ve also been an incredible opportunity for people to be awakened to some of these underlying trends,” Mr. Obama said. “And they offer an opportunity for us to all work together to tackle, to take them on, to change America and make it live up to its highest ideals.”
His words were a stark contrast to the silence from Donald Trump regarding the death of George Floyd and others, as well as a glimmer of hope for Americans who have been clamoring for leadership from a president.

The Justin Trudeau video cracks me up. He really had to wait twenty seconds to find the words.
