During Monday's edition of Morning Joe, the panel tried to make sense of why President Trump has decided to pick a fight with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau; apparently not believing the stated reason of trying to negotiate better trade agreements. When host Joe Scarborough brought up the President's characterization of Trudeau as meek and weak, panelist Eugene Robinson suggested "He does that when he's feeling insecure, when Trump is feeling insecure. And so it is youth? Is it the fact that he's a pretty good looking guy?" Robinson's comment came after Scarborough suggested that President Trump might be "threatened by Trudeau being younger."
