It all started with a leaked video that appears to show Canadian PM Justin Trudeau and others talking about President Trump behind his back:

Eventually word of that got to Trump:
Trump was asked if he saw the video of Trudeau and other world leaders speaking at Buckingham Palace. Of that he says Trudeau is two-faced. Says he called Trudeau out on not spending enough on defence, says he thinks Trudeau was upset about that.

Trump also added a description of Trudeau:

“Two-faced” Trudeau:
Trump responds to video of Trudeau poking fun at him behind his back: “Well, he's two-faced. And with Trudeau, he's a nice guy. I find him to be a nice guy, but the truth is, I called him out on the fact that he's not paying 2%, and I guess he's not very happy about it.”

President Trump called Justin Trudeau "two-faced" after Canada's PM was caught on camera appearing to joke about Trump with other world leaders at an event Tuesday night. "He's two-faced," Trump said, adding, "honestly with Trudeau, he's a nice guy." https://t.co/Zi867lzqZS pic.twitter.com/Y7GN3IQDmT

Naturally the media can be counted on to take offense on behalf of Trudeau:
MEDIA YESTERDAY: [GIGGLE, SWOON] “Oh look, they’re slamming Trump behind his back.”
MEDIA TODAY: “That damned Trump! He called Trudeau two-faced!” pic.twitter.com/erQQ3YMSuS

But elsewhere, Trump’s description of Trudeau was found to be a multi-leveled zinger:
Two-faced, black-faced… Whichever. https://t.co/bcEhY9VlSp

To be fair, Trump isn't wrong about Trudeau being two-faced. pic.twitter.com/XMMwuAhyfB

Everyone needs to calm down. Yes, President Trump called Canadian PM Trudeau 'two-faced.'
He's telling the truth. Trudeau simply hasn't worn his blackface in many years.
