And this is why Canada wants to vote out this clown lol

I'm american and no I didn't vote for this big bumbling bafoon. He isn't a leader of anything but what he wants. I stand firmly with Canada & ukraine. I truly believe God is with us.❤❤❤

I don't like Trudeau, but this speech was great. Intelligent when he needed to be, simple when addressing Trump. A strong start to this trade war which as he said, we don't want. I hope along with Ford we hit America where it hurts. Maybe when their groceries skyrocket in price and their trucks are gone they'll really see where their votes went.\n\nI personally can attest I'm no longer buying DOOM: The Dark Ages, or games on Steam for that matter. I cancelled an order I had from Amazon, and I used to buy Reaper Miniatures, which I will no longer be doing. I'm not going to A&W, or any fast-food chain, or restaurant owned by Americans.

I just moved from my California home state for the second, but just to let you know Canada i'm with you!! This trade war with these countries, are ridiculous but only to line, and continue to line the pockets of billionaires like Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and the tech family..... Trump has tried to stay close to Putin, but no one asks why?? We're not at war with Russia? He's been wanting the wealth Putn has every since he, and his wife visited in 1983.. He loves their minerals, and i ask President Zenlensky, if he signs that mineral agreement be careful how it's worded!!! J D Vance had know right to speak to Zelensky in that manner!! Trump, needed an education in government before he ran for any office, it's laws, etc... he's embarrassing when he speaks, calling other government officers stupid, and the like, like a child in school!! Why doesn't someone fact check Donald Trump vs Joe Biden with the things he's done vs the things Donald did while in office, as Biden knowing the law vs Trump as what he could do as a US President, not running this country like he runs his business!! I'm Georgia now, and still wouldn't voted for that man....!!!

I’m an American, and I strongly agree Canada retaliation to trade war even though I voted for dumping trump

Sweden here. Its mindblowing how could ANYONE vote for that moron Grumpy Trump

Will vote for Trump cuz he will lower the cost of living and stop inflation??????! Got what you deserved

How far will it go before Republicans vote to remove him from office?

As a U.S. citizen, I don’t want this. Trump is out of his mind and only the crazy people voted for him. Trump and Vance need to be GONE!!!

As an American, I am totally appalled that Donald Trump is our elected president putting himself & his selfish agenda ahead of the American people. Allowing people like Elon Musk, who is not a government employee to run amok in this country doing what he pleases when he pleases under the guise of ridding our country of wasteful spending, without any type of oversight. I am appalled at the GOP that refuses to stand up to Trump for the people they swore an oath to serve faithfully because they are so afraid of what Trump will do to them if they don't bow down and do his bidding. Shame on every doggone one of you for putting yourselves first before our great country. I am appalled of all of the people who voted for Trump, you are all going to find out. This isn't some tv reality show, and we all deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Choosing to turn your back on our friends and ally's isn't going to go well and the American people are going to suffer because of it.

Now, unless we get this type of united attitudes we will never protect our ways of living now place quality control on the voting 5:55 block from lying and dictatorships. But unless we this feel this pain we will aloud any lying dictatorship to come in steel our peaceful ways of living

Lets vote again...emergency situation.. and let's count all the votes...and reinstate those falsely thrown off thevoter rolls (think racist Georgia etc.

Because of your vote, you get to bend over ?. And you don’t get the right to complain about it.

As an American I 100% support you Canada, Ukraine and the rest of our allies. I did not vote for our convict and cheat in DC. I also refuse to call Donald a president.

No wonder they voted him out!! What a tool.......

I am a retired Dairy farmer who grew up in New York State and now lives in Florida.This is who I am. I don't know who's to blame the most. Benedict Trump is a traitorous President or all the voters who voted for him. Truly, what was the attraction? Now look at this mess. I can and do apologize to Canada, but I am just one person. P.S. I didn't vote for that Ass H_le.

Trump as a president one time is crazy. Twice is a joke. I don't know how in 2025 with all information and education out there, americans vote in one guy just because he is from Republican Party. Even if this guy doesn't deserve to represent the Republican Party.

That’s what happens when you elect someone like trump and whoever voted for him enjoy inflation !

I DID NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP, I STAND WITH CANADA , UKRAINE MEXICO. GREENLAND , EU. AMERICAN. HERE.

Sad American citizen here that didn’t vote for Donald. I wish we had strength like that representing our country. I’m with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine

I voted for the Liberals in 2015 before I really knew what I believed in. I later voted for the NDP. Trudeau lost my support but lately he’s been incredibly bold and admirable. He makes me proud to be a Canadian.

Who voted for Donna Trumpelstiltskin again?

Can Trump Become a Dictator Like Putin? \nTrump has authoritarian tendencies, but turning the U.S. into a full dictatorship like Putin’s Russia would be extremely difficult. Here’s why: \n1⃣ The U.S. Has Strong Institutional Barriers \nUnlike Russia, where Putin gradually dismantled democracy, the U.S. has checks and balances (Congress, courts, states, the military). \nTrump tried to challenge the system, but courts often ruled against him, showing that he doesn’t have full control. \nTo become a true dictator, he would need to take over the judicial system, military, and elections—none of which are fully in his hands. \n? Example: \nTrump lost multiple court cases on election fraud claims, proving he does not yet have absolute control. \n2⃣ He Lacks Full Control Over the Military & Law Enforcement \nPutin controls the Russian military and secret police, allowing him to silence opposition. \nIn the U.S., the military swears loyalty to the Constitution, not the president. \nTrump tried to use the military against protesters, but military leaders refused, signaling that they wouldn’t blindly follow him. \n? Example: \nOn Jan 6, 2021, Trump encouraged an attack on the Capitol, but the military did not intervene on his behalf. \n3⃣ American Democracy is Deeply Embedded in Culture \nUnlike Russia, where people are used to strongmen leaders, Americans are culturally resistant to dictatorship. \nU.S. citizens, journalists, and activists openly resist government overreach, making it harder for an authoritarian to rise. \nFree press and independent media make it difficult to spread unchecked propaganda the way Putin does in Russia. \n? Example: \nTrump was impeached twice, showing that Congress still holds power over the president. \n4⃣ Trump’s Path to Dictatorship Would Require More Control Over Elections \nPutin rigged elections, eliminated opponents, and rewrote laws to stay in power. \nTrump has tried to change voting laws and delegitimize elections, but the system still blocked him. \nIf Trump could fully control elections, he could remove opposition and rule indefinitely. \n? Example: \nHe’s trying to install loyalists in key election positions for 2024, but this does not guarantee full control. \n5⃣ Could He Still Try? Yes. Could He Succeed? Unlikely (For Now). \n✔ Trump has authoritarian instincts and wants more power. \n✔ He is trying to weaken institutions to increase control. \n✔ But the U.S. system makes dictatorship much harder than in Russia. \n✔ Unless he completely controls elections, the courts, and the military, he cannot rule like Putin.

Thanks, Justin, for rubbing it in to those of us that didn’t vote for Trump, including me, that our current administration is doing this to us. ????

Tmusk can not help but create chaos ....... Russia alliance is for TMusk and other beneficiaries....we have dealt with TMusk and coward republicans for 12 years now. Half of our country did not vote for these criminals. Nothing you do, friend, will change their madness. Take care of you.

Here in the US. Please remember not everyone voted for the Trump clown show. He's delusional and in denial with himself. Fuck Trump, Fuck Elon!

Trump only cares about himself and his billionaire oligarchs...unlike you who care about the people of Canada, trump does not care, our well being and ability to survive his schemes, taking our tax dollars for his rich friends, do what you must to protect your good people and just come back with humanitarian help for any remaining needs Americans once trump is eliminated!! Go Canada, take care of yourselves at any cost. 49.5% of idiot Americans voted for this situation, so they need to suffer trumps rather before they ta k è action to stop him!

As a Canadian. We know our prime minister is preventing an election by prologuing parliament. He isn't as great as you think. Our little economy is 1.9 trillion half of California's. Were literally only hurting ourselves here with more taxes. aka tariffs. This guy is playing politics to try to get votes. by rallying up nationalism. Trying to play the hero. He's made our lives unaffordable here in Canada for the last 9 years. Housing food bills. Ethics breaches, Chinese payoffs to his parties politicians, spending Canadians money on his friends. Enough of this guy. Quit delaying our election dictator.

I didnt vote for this man. Please know this is not what many in our country wanted

Go Trudeau!!!! Americans who did not vote for djt(50%) are with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wasn't me that voted for a maniac like tRump I stand with Canada on this even though I am one of the many thousands of Americans living paycheck to pay check and have to choose bills over food and medicine. Yeah thanks tRump for destroying everything we hold dear

I’m sorry Canadians?. I don’t understand how my fellow Americans voted this guy back into the WHouse. ?

That's why you shouldn't be allowed to run for office without any experience or knowledge of the task at hand. This is what some of y'all voted for. Damn shame. ?

I'm so sorry, I didn't vote Trump. He is running this country to the ground, and making enemies of friends while he tries to make friends of enemies. Trump is a traitor and a fool.

YOU KNOW DO IT, PLEASE THESE CRUMP GUTTER SUPPORTERS NEED TO SEE WHAT THEY VOTED FOR

And we don't want this either, I hope Canadians understand that not all of us voted for this idiots.

If you like this speech and support us… now act!!! Tell to your President that you don’t like this situation and these actions from his team!!!! Why you voted for this dangerous man who prefers Russians Than Canadiens????

as an old Swissman. Impressive speech Mr.Trudeau! This is how a true leader speaks. Long live Canada!\nWhat is this orange madman doing with his great country, the USA? \nHow could anyone vote for such a man? You can see what he's doing. Starting an economic war for what?

Wow, you jerks voted for this! Where are those cheaper eggs and gas? Oh yeah and neutralizing less than 1 percent of our population, yes trans people.\nLike I said, you idiots voted for this! \nWe warned you MAGA folks for 9 years! 9 years.\nHope this is giving some white MAGA man a hard on!

This is Heartbreaking ?? for American People who didn't vote for DT ??????????????

I like Justin, but I still won’t vote for the liberals because of housing bubble

The citizens of the US did not vote for Bone spurs because of his intelligence.

US VOTER: “Uhhh, so you do this fella Trudeau is near the end of his term as Canada’s PM? I mean, if you all are done with him and all we could certainly use a guy like him in our executive branch “ ?? ??. \n BTW, I love Canadians. Hell, “ some of my best friends are Canadian.” None In the family of course-what would people say? But you know. This guy Trump is quite the hoser. How about you open up your borders just a pinch to let us sane Americans over? We don’t eat much and we’ll even pay for any medical expenses! Really we will. We’re use to it. How’s about like starting up an H1VFK visa. Yeah, you know-the Hey, I Voted For Kamala visa. Well, just think on it. You guys were there for us during Nam. You can do the human thing again. Cheers ?

Im an American and voted against trump. He is a danger !! Thank you for not backing down!!!!

I will never forget what he did to Canada the second Covid hit. Him and the liberals. I voted for him, and I will never vote liberal again. This speech is powerful, but it's not enough, and the party has lost me.

I wish the Stupid people of America ?? had the sense to vote for a real leader like this Guy.

You all voted for that in human orange turd

Now who voted for Trump?

trump is a traitor to his own people.iam an american and did not vote for trump; those that did will start to feel trumps terrible decisions.

My fellow Americans, we have far to many gullible and ignorant citizens in our country who voted for this idiot not once, not twice but 3 times. Insanity. Make it make sense. You voted for a proven narcissist, liar and impulsive man and now everybody in our country is going to suffer. The rest of the world is understandably concerned. We have a Putin sympathizer in the Oval Office. We have a traitor to Western democracy in our midst in power. \n\nWe now have massive layoffs coupled with cuts to vital services and help for our own citizens including Medicaid and other things. This is disturbing and troubling how fast it's unravelling. We can only hope that patriots and others can help stem this tide. We must use peaceful means to and pressure on our politicians to become more vocal in our concerns.
