Trudeau tags into Invictus Games trash talk between Obamas, Royals

Toronto:Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has jumped in on the social media trash talking among world leaders around the upcoming Invictus Games in Orlando.
In a message posted to Twitter Monday afternoon, Trudeau stands with Team Canada to show off the athletes’ stamina as they prepare to head to the sporting event for wounded and ill servicemen and women.
The 23-second video responds to the one-upmanship that started last week in a video released by Buckingham Palace. In the short clip, Prince Harry and Queen Elizabeth receive a video message from U.S. President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.“You better be careful what you wish for,” the Obamas tell the royals in response to having been told that they better ‘bring it’ to the upcoming Invictus Games.
“Oh, really. Please,” the Queen responds with a smirk after viewing the message.
“Boom,” Harry says to the camera, gesturing a mic drop.
On Monday Trudeau dived into the fray with his own video.
“Dear @POTUS, @FLOTUS and @KensingtonRoyal – did someone say ‘bring it?’ Canada’s ready for @InvictusOrlando,” Trudeau tweeted.
“I just thought I’d show our friends in the U.S. and the U.K. how Canada brings it,” Trudeau says when the clip starts playing.
“Your Majesty, Prince Harry, President and Mrs. Obama…. Boom!” he says, gesturing his own mic drop after dropping and doing push-ups with the athletes. “Orlando. Invictus Games. Canada’s ready.”
Prince Harry is currently in town to promote the Invictus Games and the video appears to have been recorded with the Team Canada athletes following a morning event attended by the prince and the prime minister.
The second ever Invictus Games will take place in Orlando from May 8-12.
The games will be held in Toronto in September next year. Prince Harry’s visit today marked the kickoff for the official countdown to next year’s games.
