Tea at Trianon: Musk Calls Trudeau a Clown

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

Musk Calls Trudeau a Clown

Because Trudeau IS a clown. From The Counter Signal:

Last year, Musk tweeted out his support of Canadian truckers heading to Ottawa to fight for their rights and freedoms.

“Canadian truckers rule,” he said.

This came a day after Trudeau denounced the trucker convoy, calling those participating a “small, fringe minority” and asserting that only by complying with the federal vaccine mandate will Canadians ever see the return of their freedoms. Musk later tweeted a meme that likened Trudeau to Hitler, however Musk quickly deleted his post.

As for Trudeau, his “right wing misinformation” and “far right” slurs against everyone who disagrees with him is quickly becoming a parody in itself. Earlier this year, Trudeau said that New Brunswick’s Conservative Premier, Blaine Higgs, was “far right” for his policy that requires teachers to have parental consent if they are to use alternative pronouns or names for students under the age of 16. Later, a poll showed that fifty-seven percent of Canadians agreed with Higgs’ stance on parental rights. (Read more.)
