Men drop to their knees to ask Trudeau to run for president

So this is what it’s come to, eh?

Americans dropping to their knees to beg the leader of another country to run for president of the United States.

It happened yesterday to Canada’s prime minister when he was visiting a cafe in New York.

Justin Trudeau politely declined, noting he’s not an American citizen. But the fellas were having none of it, putting Trudeau in the awkward position of moving on past two people on their knees.

Trudeau was in New York to announce that Canada would seek a seat on the United Nations’ Security Council.
