Trump Controversial Claims About Fidel Castro Being Justin Trudeau’s Father

[Social Media]

 

In his latest book, "Save America," former President Donald Trump once again stokes rumors about the parentage of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, suggesting that Fidel Castro could be his father. This controversial claim, which has circulated in various forms over the years, is now being repeated by Trump, who has a history of promoting sensational and unsubstantiated stories.

 

 

The former president has recently put this rumor in print, following a similar assertion he made during a podcast interview, where he said, "they say he's the son of Fidel Castro, and could be." In his book, Trump doubles down on this claim, despite it being thoroughly debunked in the past. The Canadian government denied the rumor in 2018, and a fact-check by the Associated Press revealed that Justin Trudeau was born four years before his mother, Margaret Trudeau, made her first trip to Cuba.

 

 

Trump’s book, described as a coffee table tome featuring pictures from his time in office, includes captions that stir up various controversial moments and stories. In one excerpt obtained by DailyMail.com, Trump writes, "Justin Trudeau and I got along very well, but there were natural differences in that he is very Liberal, and I, to put it mildly, am not. It will be very interesting to see how we do in the future, but first, I have to get there (back to the White House)."

 

The former president goes on to reference Margaret Trudeau, the mother of Justin Trudeau, describing her as "beautiful and wild." He writes, "In the 1970s, she would go ‘clubbing’ with the Rolling Stones, but she was also somehow associated with Fidel Castro. She said he was ‘the sexiest man I’ve ever met,’ and a lot of people say that Justin is his son. He swears that he isn’t, but how the hell would he know! Castro had good hair, the ‘father’ didn’t, Justin has good hair, and has become a Communist just like Castro."

 

 

This assertion is not new; it gained traction online after Justin Trudeau praised Castro as a "larger-than-life legendary revolutionary" following Castro’s death in 2016. However, the timeline and facts surrounding the birth of Justin Trudeau do not support the claim. Margaret Trudeau was 22 when she married Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, who was 51 at the time. Justin was born nine months after their marriage in 1971, well before Margaret’s first documented trip to Cuba.

 

Despite the lack of evidence, Trump has continued to push this narrative, using it as part of his broader strategy to critique and undermine leaders with whom he has ideological differences. The book "Save America" is filled with such provocative content, including a cover shot of Trump moments after an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, and images of him during key moments of his presidency, such as the CNN presidential debate that Trump claims helped end President Joe Biden's reelection bid.

 

Sergio Gor, the publisher of Winning Team Books, which released "Save America," expressed excitement over the book’s popularity. "We are thrilled by the demand we have seen for President Trump’s new book. We are trying to keep up and will be reprinting as soon as possible. No other book captures his historic journey in a beautiful coffee table book like SAVE AMERICA," Gor said.

 

Trump’s tendency to revive and amplify controversial rumors is not limited to Trudeau. Former Trump White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham, who has since turned against Trump and spoke at the Democratic convention, recounted in her own book an incident where Trump made a crude remark about Trudeau’s mother. According to Grisham, while on Air Force One, Trump suddenly brought up Justin Trudeau, saying, "Trudeau's mom. She f***ed all of the Rolling Stones." Grisham recalled Trump asking her, "Are you OK if I say this?" before making the explicit statement.

 

Trump's willingness to repeat these unfounded rumors, even in the face of clear evidence to the contrary, underscores his broader strategy of using sensationalism to capture attention and rally his base. As he prepares for a potential return to the White House, these tactics continue to define his approach to both politics and public discourse.

 

The rumor surrounding Justin Trudeau’s parentage, like many of Trump’s assertions, plays into a larger narrative that the former president has cultivated—one where sensational claims are used to discredit political opponents and reinforce his standing among supporters. While these stories may captivate a certain audience, they also serve to polarize and provoke, ensuring that Trump remains a central figure in the ongoing political conversation.

In other news Michelle Obama is definitely not a man and nor is Brigitte Macron.  Jean-Michel Trogneux absolutely did not take on his dead sister's identity.  If you think otherwise your lying eyes must see some sort of resemblance in the photos posted by Oliver Holzerfilled  when there is clearly none.

Trump published a book full of pictures so that his fans may be able to read it! 

😀

[Presto]

So, Trump wrote a book? Now I've heard it all!

That guy can hardly read, is incapable of telling something truthful if his life depended on it, but I guess the gullible Americans will lap it up.

Good to see that he has found the time to reassert his mastery of International Affairs ( see what I did there, good isn't it) and discredit the rumours that in such matters he is a flatulent buffoon!

The man just oozes class. A genius in international diplomacy. I still shudder at his offhand and rude treatment of Angela Merkel when she was one of world's  most influential leaders. In his eyes she was just a woman.

Yes, it IS "case closed" because the FACTS are that Justin was born 4 years before his mum's first visit to Cuba!

Facts never get in the way of a good MAGA fake news! 😀

(For example, they are still claiming that the 2020 election has been rigged by massive voter fraud)

Merkel betrayed Europe with her open borders policy.

If Trump and Vance went home, locked themselves up, and did not say anything, or appear again until the election, they would have a better chance of winning. Otherwise, they shoot themselves in the foot daily, as they are both horrendously poor candidates and campaigners. And Vance really needs to avoid donut shops, and Trump really needs do avoid all contact with the military. They despise him, for many good reasons. 

 

As it stands now, I do not see them getting elected, thankfully. Anyone but Trump.

IU would believe that before her marriage to the Canadian PM her trips were not necessarily documented, or maybe for some reason UN-documented after her marriage.

 

A 22 year old marrying a 51 year old PM, tells me something about her lifestyle

I think it would be more accurate to posit that Ernie Kovacs was Che Guevara's father.  Or was it the other way around? 

 

 

Man, of all the things he has the opportunity to say in a presidential campaign, this is what he's on about?

It will be a great day when the word Trump fades into history,

like the word Trudeau.  Orange is hopefully the new black.

There is a rumor that Melania is a transsexual. I don't believe it. Who spreads these rumors?

Actually we're both wrong.  Only genetic testing can confirm.  But as I demonstrated the eye test is very compelling.

Just another unsubstantiated BS story from Trump.

 

If you have nothing, just fill in the silence with more lies.

 

There will always be people who will believe them, even here on AN.

[Jingthing]

Not controversial.

Insane.

Just like Trump.

He's in full troll mode now just to get attention.
