A prominent politician from the Conservative Party of Canada is tearing into President Donald Trump's bid to display giant banners with his face on them around Washington, D.C., on important government buildings.
Trump has hung the banners, at taxpayer expense, on several offices, with the most recent being a huge display on the Department of Labor building bearing Trump's face and the words, "American Workers First."
"Lovely weather here in Pyongyang," National Review writer Jay Nordlinger posted to X in response to the picture, referencing the capital of the infamously totalitarian North Korea.
Jason Kenney, who previously served as the Conservative Party premier of the Canadian province of Alberta, concurred.
"Wow. This is really getting creepy," wrote Kenney. "Hanging enormous portraits of the President from government buildings? Jay is right, this is North Korean aesthetic. It would horrify the founders of the American republic and, I suspect, any previous occupant of the office."
This comes as Trump's election has sparked months of tensions with Canada, amid threats of a trade war. A number of Canadian politicians have moved to retaliate, with Ontario Premier Doug Ford even threatening to shut off energy to the United States.
