Evil Canada, you burned down my house – Donald

HISTORY IS not the Trump administration’s strongest subject.

President Trump incorrectly accused Canada of burning down the White House while on a combative phone call with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last month, according to a report.

Trump’s erroneous jab, which seemingly referred to British troops’ torching of the White House during the War of 1812, came after Trudeau pressed him on how he could justify slapping steel and aluminum sanctions on Canada in the name of “national security,” people familiar with the matter told CNN.

“Didn’t you guys burn down the White House?” Trump responded, according to the sources.

British troops burned down the White House in retaliation for American soldiers attacking the Canadian town of York — now Toronto — during the conflict.

A spokesman for Trudeau declined comment, and the White House did not respond to emailed questions. One of the sources familiar with the May 25 phone call said it wasn’t clear if Trump was joking, but said the “impact on Canada and ultimately on workers in the U.S. won’t be a laughing matter.”

The report came one day after State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert raised eyebrows by invoking the D-Day invasion while talking about the “strong relationship” between the U.S. and Germany.
