Trump news: Justin Trudeau subtly coughs in front of president at Oval Office | indy100 | indy100

Earlier this week a video from ABC News appeared online of Donald Trump furiously telling his chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney to leave the Oval Office because he was coughing.

This short clip went viral and was something of a reaffirmation that Trump is a major germophobe, to the extent that he hates the sight of anyone coughing.

With this in mind, it was amusing to see Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau did exactly the same thing on Thursday as the two world leaders assembled in front of the press at the White House.

However, this time Trump could admonish the person responsible for the coughing as he was literally in front of the entire world, so he had to sit there and bear it and the look on his face said it all.
