Donald Trump is buying stock in a popular conspiracy theory … suggesting Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is the son of late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.
The former president parroted the claim in an interview with streamer Adin Ross, during a segment where he was asked to react to photos of world leaders.
Trump quickly referenced the conspiracy theory when shown a picture of Trudeau, saying … “They say he’s the son of Fidel Castro and could be. Anything’s possible in this world.”
The conspiracy theory is based on a few things … including the physical resemblance between Justin and Fidel.
Believers also point to a highly publicized trip Justin’s mother, Margaret Trudeau, made to Cuba in 1976 … when she met Castro in the middle of the Cold War. Justin wasn’t on the trip, but his younger brother Michel was there … and Castro melted when he saw the newborn baby.
Thing is … Justin was born on Christmas Day in 1971 … more than four years before Margaret and her husband, late Canadian PM Pierre Trudeau, went to Cuba to meet Castro.
The conspiracy theory gained traction following Castro’s 2016 death … when Trudeau praised the communist dictator as a “larger than life revolutionary” while highlighting his close family ties to Fidel.
In fact, the Canadian government even went so far as to deny the conspiracy theory in 2018 … but lots of folks still believe it.
Sounds like Trump’s a believer too. 🤷🏽♂️
