No one in Canada listened to Trump state of the union speech 🙄.

Listen to Trump. Stop giving away your country. Do not give them Birthright Citizenship.

Lol, the arrogance. Justine is resigning because his people hate him and they are suffering from his leadership. Trump just got re-elected again and has an approval rating higher than ever. Why would Trump listen to a guy who is a failed leader about his leadership style? Justina is just illustrating that not only is he a failure and loser but also a narcissist

Well, dear Americans, many smart people warned you, but you didn't want to listen and did everything to ensure Trump's political survival and voted for him a second time. \nIt is very clear what Trump wants to do to the USA, and has already done to some extent! He wants a presidency like the Russian, Chinese and North Korean presidents have. \nA presidency with unlimited power, no Congress, no Senate, no independent courts.\nI can only hope, the world can only hope, that there are still enough Americans who will fight against this.

Sorry Canada, Don't listen to Trump. We love you.

He is shitting himself. Trump isn't going to listen to your pleas.

Putin has so obviously told Trump to distance himself from all democratically elected countries and processes and rule like he does with an authoritarian regime. Have elections yes - but with results already arranged to win.\nTrump then does not need to listen to these democracies because he takes control and keeps it. Has nothing to do with drugs, or stockmarkets, it's to do with power and keeping it. We all know he lies, lies and lies - so never take his rhetoric as correct.

I hope all « bizarre » Americans people who have voted for Trump listen and open there ayes !

Some people say don’t listen to Trumps words but look at his actions. \n\nAll his actions he did since he is back in office are in favour of Putin and not of the American people

Look and listen to this man and then look and listen to Trump. End of conversation. CLASS ?? VS TRASH ??

Any idiot who still thinks Donald Trump is doing a good job, then I have serious doubts about their critical thinking skills. Today I listened to Donald Trump lie and gaslight the American people, and the spineless Republicans in Congress cheered. What traitors they are to the American people.

Well, when one of the worlds famous American billionaire's ( Warren Buffet) TELLS YOU that tariffs are an act of war, perhaps you should listen. Trump is going to send millitary aid to Russia, and ask for Russian aid to annex Canada. USA- your sons and daughters are in danger.

Listening to Trudeau is like listening to a teacher. Listening to Trump is like listening to a toddler.

DUMB TRUMP I HOPE YOU ARE LISTENING BECAUSE YOU WILL BE IN THIS BY YOURSELF AND YOUR RACIST KLAN CONGRESS AND HOUSE REPUBLICIANS THAT SUCK UP TO YOU!!! NO GOOD DEED GOES UNDONE, AND LIKE ZELINSKY SAID, YOU WILL FEEL IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not a Canadian here, I stand with Canada and Ukraine and to all countries who want peace and order. In just more than a month, I am just so so tired looking at Trump's grumpy face and listening to his rants. Not a gentleman at all. He is not bringing peace, he is stirring the world into chaos.

I HOPE TRUMP WATCHED AND LISTENED TO THIS , EVERY WORD . \nDonald Trump is a scoundrel . ?

I effectively spent a chunk of my childhood in America with relatives. I treasured these memories, but now all the feelings of wonder and happiness when thinking of my visits to America have faded. Now I just think of how selfish it was to sabotage Canada. American private equities want to rock our system and buy up all they can and so I am happy we are watching for this. I think Donald did this to try and buy up Canadian companies. This should be made illegal. I am willing to suffer for up to pull the plug on all resources and energy going to America “suddenly” do they have no time to adapt and collectively suffer. We even produce the ingredient you need for your nuclear weapons and otherwise need to get this from Russia. Canada has the ability to help our allies get nuclear weapons to protect against “America as our #1 enemy now”. Will we share too secret info with you when Trump clearly seems to be working with Russia? Putin dream for NATO to break down and now Trump ours that I to action . Trump wants everyone to spend money on military to fuel the American military industrial complex, something each and every huge tech company you have participated. You have essentially been taken over by a global entity that doesn’t care about democracy. We are going to manufacture our own weapons to have zero dependency on America. That makes no sense to buy weapons from the country threatening to invade you. \n\nHow will America feel to be totally alone in the global stage all under the power of one unstable man with multiple personality disorders. Trump things Putin is Americas friend and meanwhile in Russian media America spoken of as enemy number one. Meanwhile, America is 30% full of people with such little education in politics that they do not even know what is considered red flags to democracy. The 20% needed to shift will see the light once the worst man made intentional recession begins and the billionaires buy up 30% of your homes and buildings. Nothing at all will be outside of billionaire and corporate control and now all your data is in AI. how did all American value fall in just one month. Anyone not questioning this now, ai promise you is being blackmailed or is corrupt. \n\nThe bureaucracy prevents dictatorship. Now Trump is removing this. Just listen to project 2025. America is fully on track.

I have just listened to Trump's State of the Union address. Gone is any respect I had for your country. What a hunk of crap that was....constant lies and falsehoods....no wonder you are losing your democracy. Shame on your Mitch.....you knew he was guilty as sin and now he is going to ruin your country. Job well done!

Sorry, Trump does not care of past allies he is taking the US into a dictatorship. Just observing from Downunder the past few days shows clearly the tyrrany of authoritarianism as Trump and the Maga cult are destroying Democracy and the US Constitution. Only Americans can stop this trajectory to save themselves and everyone from Putin. They Trump Musk Vance and Maga are a national and international disgrace and a threat to the world… please all stop this tragedy by a convicted felon and insurrectionist. Listen to Bernie Sanders.

He tried to appeal to him by calling him a “smart man” , he knows that may actually get Trump to listen, but man that must have been hard to actually say while keeping a straight face. ?

Trump Supporters will not listen to a word of this. They will suffer and believe Trump when he blames our plight on anything other than himself

Thanks for using small words when addressing Trump directly, not like the arrogant clown will listen, but it was nice to use dumbed-down language so he might understand

Its like a deja vu moment. Trump tariff reminds me of Modi's demonetisation in India targeting black money. Both are good as spectacle for their voter base but will give more negative impacts for the voter themselves. Like Modi, Trump will start listening to the real experts after this other than his cheer leaders but he will never eccept the goof up and instead justify and praise himself.

Trump is a good man, dont listen to this Communist dictator.

Hope Trump doesn't listen to Andrew Tate pushing him to make this decision.

They call him antichrist but to me that is crap,trump is the worst president who is making decisions foolishly n American love it bcoz they have no choice,they know they choose the worst person for leadership,this guy is using his ego n his mind in making decisions,leadership is a think of listening n acting accordance with the majority not by one's will,if one uses his knowledge, his knowledge can never suit the world,the computer is for the world but with people's mind,it is not working on its own.

Trudeau's words would fall on deaf ears.... Trump only listens to Putin...

I never liked Trudeau but he is 100% morally and economically correct on this. I don’t know if Trump listen to his advisors or they are too scared to tell him what he doesn’t want to hear.

Trump voter listen and listen carefully, that what you voted for. You have to live with that. I stand with mr Trudeau as an American who did not vote for that man.

Americans who are listening to\n\nCould you please tell your premier Trump\nTo quit referring to our PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU \nAs a Governor\n\nVERy DISRESPECTFUL\nBut than again it’s coming from the Biggest Dictator in the world\n\nGOD BLESS CANADA\nKEEP CANADA GREAT\nTHE GREATEST FREE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD \n✝️??✝️??✝️??✝️??

I don’t know why so many people in this country didn’t educate themselves about Trump. This was so predictable. This is the business practice of someone who has gone bankrupt six times, a hot head who just doesn’t think ahead or listen to common sense.

Don't lecture us American' s on a damn thing! U are damn clown & don't speak with such an unworthy sense of self. Anyone who would listen this ignorant fool & worse take anything he says seriously are as stupid as he is. And all u buffoons spewing remedial like this idiot is even pimple on trumps ass! What a embarrassing weak coward! And watch ur damn tome boy when u speak of our president like u are somehow all sudden some tough guy or in his league! Smfh

I TOLD EVERYONE ON TIKTOK 6 YEARS AGO THAT DONALD TRUMP IS THE ANTICHRIST..BUT ONLY SO MANY LISTENED..LONE ☆

Trafis = taxes. Trump is rising taxes, causing inflation, recession. Trump is the greatest crook. USA has to stop Trump. Americans are the 1 st victim of trump. He is making himself, musk, zuckerberg and all the mega rich more rich.\nThe normal American will be working slave to the neo nazi trump regime. A convicted crook, cheated on every wife he got, a pirate, a bully without friends. He is a low life. Vance a guy with colored hair and eyeliner, looks all the time like is is being potty trained .\nTrump got no deal with Putin. Putin does not listen to trump. It is a bluff. Trump is as bad as Putin. He is only interested to exploid Ukraine. \nAmericans you have to fight your worst and \n# 1enemy = trump and his boot lickers = neo nazis. The longer you wait, the more american families, veterans, economy, jobs have to suffer. Trup has no respect for Great Britain. He only would have liked to get his hands on the late Queens juwels.

Thank you, Canada, \nIt's not the American people,, Only those in the WHITE HOUSE, who want a dictatorship.\nNot even our own Supreme Courts won't listen to the American people asking for a hearing against the attacks on the American people.\nTrump owns the Supreme Court The House of Representatives.,\nDonald Trump and Vance need to be taken out of the White House. Musk is Distroying the American People.\nImpeach Trump and Vance ?????

Trudeau making a strong case, but will Trump even listen? This situation is a mess, and everyday people will be the ones paying the price

I am annoyed with CNN for turning this into a WAFFLE Soapy...At Last Trudeau has grown BALLS and he was presenting a Polite, Rational, Understandable, Logical, Factual explanation NOT only to AMERICA BUT more so to Canada and the World that Trump is NOT actually a SMART man but rather a deranged and dangerous illiterate with NO interest other than HIS EGO...SO CNN in your wisdom you ignored Trudeau's replies to questions from the press and gave oxygen to your WAFFLE MONGERS LIGHT WEIGHT comments.\n I have never been a supporter of wishy washy Trudeau....until this polite and measured presentation by him which was brilliant as an Educational tool not only for the American People BUT also for ALL of those ALLIES in the FREE World that TRUMP has absolutely NO RESPECT for and has been singularly responsible for the FREE World ALLIES to seriously rethink their allegiances with Chaotic America due to Donald's apparently Love affair with Putin as a fellow Dictator.\n America listen up.... The U.K./Europe are cranking up their home based on their door step DEFENSE INDUSTRIES etc which will be GREAT for Europe.... BUT not so GREAT for America''s employment going SOUTH.\n I was born in 1936 in the U.K. and have first hand experience of the TORTURE Ukraine is experiencing as the RESULT of Putin INVADING Ukraine....Donald and his Attack dog Vance are dangerous illiterates.

Trump Signed the current trade deal into law back in 2018... listen to him now.

Close the Canadian border to all USA businesses and citizens. The only way Trump will listen.

Trump supports won't watch or listen to this, people who hate Trump already know this.. this great speech is going to fall on deaf ears of the Maga Americans.\nCant Americans see Trump is literally making America shit cause he's a comprised Russian agent.

Trump is not listening he has his finger s in his ears and is shouting no no no

Sounds to me like Trudeau's scared of this trade war it's almost as if he didn't listen to anything Trump said. Make Canada America's 51st state it basically already is.

Listen to the Prime Minister speaking 2 languages. trump can't even speak one past a grade 3 level. trump wants this in order to weaken all democracies in order for putin to take over the world. Why aren't we doing something people? Are we really going to let the hateful racists who voted for the presidunce win? I pray not.

Trump isn't listening to this moron, anyway. He's insignificant.

I'm just going to clarify something remember when they said Trump had allies with Russia now you see what the Democrats were talking about. Trump always blames democrats for his faults. Trump had you guys convinced not to vote for Democrat. Now are allies don't even want to deal with the US anymore which is understandable because of what the whole nation seen with their own eyes and heard with their own ears. Trump says he wants to make America Great American dream not for Americans maybe for you Republicans I guarantee a lot of Republicans don't agree with him but they all are scared to say anything to Trump and his team which that is disturbing within itself. Trump needs to be impeached he's causing to much chaos and still getting away with people's lives in real life situations this is not a joke. As for JD Vance his vice president he was laughing and asking Zelenskyy why was he not wear a suit what about Elon musk he wasn't wearing a suit? And when you ask another person to come from another country to the White House they are dressed in their traditional clothing to be mocked by these men is despicable. Real people lost their jobs, real people are dying that need aid,for them to shut down the military aid was a slap in the face,mind you they sit back and laugh about it.. Russia is the last person Trump should be nice Putin is not on the US side it's obvious but Trump laughs with him, communicate better with Putin which is disturbing as well. Having the power and money makes people so entwined into their own world,Trump should think about Americans first and not act like a disrespectful person he ruined his chance not Zelenskyy. Now We the people are looking at our President and vice President like the are unhinged, disrespectful, uncompassionate, and down right rude. Kamala,Tim warned everyone Barak, Michelle, Biden did also y'all should have listened. I voted for Kamala and Tim. If Trump wants peace he needs to stop with all the madness and focus fixing the US.

Why are you giving this lying piece of shit of a prime minister any airtime whatsoever I agree with the fact that Trump is going a little overboard with the tariffs but to listen to this guy nobody in Canada wants to even see this man's face so by you even putting it on there just basically makes your station that less credible

How can you listen to a bloke like Donald Trump and even remotely consider him in the same ball park as Trudeau? The entire US administration wouldn't be able to match this man's intelligence. Republicans man. The world's loudest and stupidest people.

I think congressman Trump needs to listen to his political members, they at least have a clue

No Canada was Bidins closest friend Canada need to throw this pos to the kerb or they will be finished. All Trump has done is cut the bleeding of taxpayers money to Canada. Listen to this clown go lol hes the one that forked Canada not Trump. Look at him cry hes so used to getting his own way.

Listen to the idiots in this comment section, supporting the worst Canadian president in history. Trump is doing what America has always done, put America first. Canada is supporting Europe in pursuing the war in Ukraine, how is that a benefit to Americans.
