Justin Trudeau paused for 21 seconds before talking Trump and one headline ruled them all
It’s not unusual for a politician to pause before answering a question – not only does it give the impression of gravitas, it allows them a few moments to think what the hell they’re going to say.
But not many pauses are as long as this one from Canada’s Justin Trudeau, who waited a full 21 seconds before sharing his thoughts on Donald Trump and what’s going on in the United States right now.

And there was no shortage of comment and headlines about it. But none of the takes were as good as this one from @tokyosexwhale on Twitter.
I can't believe no one has done this. I'm almost giddy with delight.

I’ve just been sent a telegram by Twitter informing me that they’re going to make an announcement that I have won Twitter so the rest of you might want to pack up your things and go home.

Still, you can imagine why Trudeau would take his time before answering.
Canada must feel like they live in an apartment above a meth lab.
