Summary
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s attendance at the U.S. Women’s World Cup opener in LA — while Canada played at home — sparked online backlash from soccer fans. He defended himself on X, joking he was fulfilling “boyfriend duties” while still cheering for Canada, complete with a Canadian flag emoji. Fans split: some felt the home game deserved his presence, others supported his right to be with partner Katy Perry, who was performing in LA and wore dual national flag pins. The incident underscores how public figures juggle personal life and national pride during major events. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
