As Canadians, is it surprising that we show some vested interest in the capability and performance of our elected government leaders? I'd think not.

My personal guess is, you've partly hit the nail on the head. I am also willing to bet that at least for a split second, if not for a much longer duration, JT just straight up blanked out / panic mode kicked in. It is also obvious that he is thinking hard on what he can say that would not piss off the Orange Bully, unlike the time when he was making dinner / mingling jokes with other international leaders about Trump behind his back, but had the conversation inadvertently caught on camera.
At least he learned a lesson from that last time, eh?
