The PR train of Canada’s leader continued full steam ahead this week as the man sneakily wore yet another pair of socks that align him with the nerdier parts of his electorate.
Big ol’ Star Wars wookies were peeking out under his pants during a discussion with Dutch Prime Minister, Mark Rutte, at the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday.

He even has another pair of Star Wars themed socks – this one featuring C-3PO R2-D2. He probably has many more that we haven’t seen.

Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest even gifted him with a new pair while hosting him on Live With Kelly and Ryan. How big is his sock drawer?
