The international media have crowned Leo Varadkar as the new 'king' of the sock game

Well, that’s one achievement.

CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER Justin Trudeau is visiting Ireland at the moment and the photo ops are coming in their droves.

He’s doing everything Irish, like playing a Bodhran, messing around with a hurl, y’know, the usual day-to-day things.

He’s even met Michael D.

But one thing is getting all the attention.

However, Varadkar, in a stunning act of self-sabotage, gifted Justin a pair of Irish socks before they parted ways.

Have we learned nothing?
