And it's not just wingnuts who are misrepresenting Trudeau on this matter, but also people like @jonkay, former editor of respected magazine: https://twitter.com/jonkay/status/960706005389557761 …

So? @yashar has criticized him as well. I just watched the clip again and I don't see any "light ribbing" in Trudeau's tone.
It's pretty clear from the context (the questioners very lengthy remarks and her response to Trudeau).
Hmm, I read the full remarks and the response. Not sure that changes his tone. But I do think it's a bit of a tempest in a teapot, albeit amusing.
It's a trap people often fall into (I myself have done it) of treating a light remark with undue seriousness..
Maybe so, especially when it confirms one's general critical view of the person involved.
I should add, though, that Trumpers use this "why doesn't anyone get that he's kidding!" defense all the time, and sometimes they're even right. 
This is why I try not to respond to off-hand Trump comments anymore, but focus on larger patterns of behavior.
