Trump’s fixation on fentanyl is a ruse. He’s just trying to show Putin that he’s a tough guy but he’s just a coward. He’s too stupid to see the bigger picture.

Very good speech. All true and i cant wait to see the criminal trump to get boo'ed out of the oval office . Seldom have i seen someone as stupid as him and seldom have i seen such stupid measures that destroy not others but only and mostly americans.\n\nGod bless america to never vote again for the dummest guy in the country

To the uneducated liberals in the comments, Canada already has a 270% tariff on American goods and has for the last decade with Donald Trump did was put reciprocal tariffs on Canada toQ further balance, the imbalance so you guys being upset that President Trump isn’t acting tariffs on a country who’s already enacted tariffs on the United States then you’re being hypocrites. \n\nSee most of the world audience understands this you guys are actually the minority. Donald Trump is pulling at 60% in United States. The Democrats are pulling at 21% in United States. Just so you guys have an idea of just how unpopular you guys really are.

Trump is looking for an excuse to go to war, so he is escalating. He wants to invade Canada the same way Russia attacked Ukraine for the Black Sea and argicultural land. The US is now communist, not Marxist, but in the lane of Stalin and Putin. Wake up America, you are becoming the bad guys. You are aligning with the Axis powers.

He had to response to Donald Duck, sorry Donald Dump, men sorry again, Donald Dumb, what is happening with me, Donald Bump, why is this happening.... a yeah, Donald Trump, the dumb duck, with a bump in his head to be dumped. \n \nIt does not matter if some like Trudeau or not, as a country leader THIS was the only response to a bully neighbor, who wants to start a trade war. \nAnd as Trudeau said, there is no winner, we are polite, but we are Canadians and will not back down from a fight. \n\nThank you Mr. Trudeau. \nDonald Trump, the dumb duck, with a bump in his head will be dumped. \n\n <3 Canada., greetings from the Greek guy.

Then close ur boarders to criminals bringing in fentanyl. And to the fake Americans who don’t support America go to Canada and live. And for the record u will all see how bad zelensky is he could have stoped the war by agreeing not to try to join nato. And can’t account for millions of dollars. And was warnd the meeting was just about the mineral deal because if we put troops in Ukraine Putin who is still very dangerous will see it as a act of war. And he said he will protect American intrust in Ukraine basically saying if Putin breaks a peace deal we will be there to help respond. But zelensky took the moment with the media to pressure trump into saying we will put troops there which could start ww3. And if u trust Canada over the US ur an idiot. This guy doesn’t care about his own country. Look at the First Nation people. And how migrants get more then the people who have been there for generations. And people and fentanyl is still coming in.

This guy does not speak for all Canadians here in Canada. He had every opportunity every opportunity to make things better with Donald Trump. They hate Donald Trump so now they use the media to attack Trump and make him look bad Justin Trudeau you’ve done nothing for Canada for the last 10 years, but put us in debt put us in financial problems put us in Criminal problems. We have rapist here that we brought to Canada terrorist that live in Canada. We are laughing country because of what you’ve done so don’t sit there and make yourself look great and brave and think that Canada’s behind you you better think again you’ve destroyed Canada now you wanna be a big man up there and podium and talk how you’re talking that you think you know Canadians and Canadians are speaking out well that’s a lie if you truly mean what you mean get rid of the carbon tax in Canada let’s start lowering gas prices in groceries. Has nothing to do with them. American people let’s start growing our own stuff in Canada that that been discussing many times and that you’ve just throw it out the window bring back our pipeline. How about that to increase cost and money in Canada again you won’t do that. We’ll have a fight with Donald Trump now I’ll tell you you won’t win. God is in control. Evil has no authority anymore and there’s nothing that these evil leads can do they’re swamp is being drained as we speak.

All these people on the right, who voted to reelect this guy and already knew who he was should be ashamed of themselves now they are trying to spend the narrative because we have cowards in Congress. if Joe Biden was doing this, Fox News would be livid, but everybody wants to kiss the Trump ring now because they’re scared

did he just say you're a very smart guy to Trump? ?

Good Speech and Plan. Canada, you are helping the people of the USA by helping to get Trump out of power. The sooner the better for us all. Just one nit -- Trump is not a very smart guy.

Trump is anything but a smart guy. Other than that: a very good speech.

Trump thinks he’s a tough guy, we’ll see exactly how tough he is in six months from now!

Trudeau made one key factual error. Trump is not a very smart guy.

Unbelievable that the whole world has to deal with this unqualified Criminal. They all have to speak to him as if the trade War has anything to do with them or Commerce. When in reality it's all about stealing from the poor to give to the rich. Trump does not like that he is the president to ballooned the US deficit more than any other president in history. This was done because of his tax cuts for billionaires the first time around. He wants to extend the tax cuts but he has been warned what it will do to the deficit. So tariffs are his plan to put back into the US coffers what will not be going in from billionaire taxes. The Red Hat Club has been stupid enough to buy the tariffs have anything to do with immigration or drugs. It's so easy for Trump to use these trigger issues to commit his crimes and then excuse it. The cult never questions if they're told it has something to do with hating immigrants. Tariffs are paid for by the US citizen. The little guys. It allows the US government to become a middleman in every transaction. Getting a cut when it has done nothing to deserve it. It is the way Russia runs things. Trump is always using the Russia Playbook of how to dismantle a democracy. It is the opposite of free trade and capitalism

It is very hard to disagree with anything that the PM said EXCEPT saying, against all evidence, Trump is a very smart guy. Trump is so stupid he doesn't realize how stupid he is.

Please clarify why JT decided to send more aid to the Ukraine just a week before Trump was to negotiate a peace deal with Zelenskyy ? I think Canadians need to wake up \nAnd see who really are the bad guys .Too bad we don’t have a strong leader like the US .Little too late to be playing tough guy after he killed our country dont you think ??

Lets give a look to Trump strategy.... Hypothese: Forcing Ukraine to give access to his ressources that would left U.S. ĺess vulnerable to canadian ressources to strenghten is tariff war. It also weakened intentionally NATO and western çountries so he reinforces his link with Russia to reimburse the debt he contracted years ago. Again this guy is nothing else than a russian muppet.

I only disagree with one thing he said (saying Trump is a smart guy lol).

Everything Canada has done recently was AFTER Trump did something.\n\nMeaning if they wanted to do something about it with the prior administration they could have they just decided it wasn’t worth the investment.\n\nThis guy cares more about his hair products than the average Canadian much less American.

A Canadian here - I disagree with Trudeau, trump is not a smart guy, I can't say what I want about the grifter-in-cheif, it goes against community standards.

The prime minister is wrong. Trump is NOT a smart guy. But he is doing what Putin wants - weaken the West.

Caaaaareful tough guy. Like Trump told Zalinsky .....you have ZERO cards. Trudeau has been trying to ignite hatred against the Trump party since day one. Trying to look tough in front of Canadians. Then he goes to Marlago and sucks Trumps dyck and leaves eith his tail between his legs. Socialist leaders are all done. Their politics are dead. Leftists have destroyed everything in their paths for 70 years now. The only people left that are.....left.....is the Governments and the LGBT

Methinks, Mr. Nice Guy is tired of putting up with Trump's B.S. And I honestly don't blame him (Trudeau not Trump.)

Trudeau doesn't not impress me at all. That eexactly what Trump want and that will hurt both sides for good. Trudeau must go as well as all the deep state suporting him and al europea country. those guys hurt us more than any trade war through there macabre plitics and decisions along there presidency.

Trudeau acts like tough guy in front of media then goes back to licking Trump’s boots behind the scenes. I’m sure he called Trump after this meeting and agreed to everything Trump wanted him to do.

I want Trump and Vance try bully this guy in Oval office I’m sure they wont win

Thanks Trump, appreciate you making America looking like the bad guy. I didn't vote for you but we all get to feel the pain

It’s very sad to see what is happening in the us. Thousands of jobs gone already, trade wars will cost who knows how many more. Musk as Trumps right hand man, the guy who wants to have 500,000 robots by 2027. No connection I am sure!!!

Imagine preferring Trumps actions to this guy. Ridiculous

Wow, thatis big... the whole world against trump wannabe king.. are you happy now... you voted for this guy... shame on you....

The dialog between Canada and the US need to come together for a global solution to peace, prosperity and security. Everything is about transactions with this guy. \nThese tarrifs are obviously temporary and Canada needs to speak to Trump on Global issues and yes they need our inports, their cost of food is outrageous. He knows he needs the \nUS more than we need Canada. He could have put more security on the borders a long time ago but refused.\nHe will be done soon and he should have been more willing to stop the drugs and ended his term on a better note with solutions. Canada cant wait for him to step down. There were many more solutions he could have offered instead of coming off as a jerk. \nBuy USA products! We have to stop this dependence on other countries! The green deal is done..we dont need their trees.

One disagreement Mr Trudeau: Trump is “very smart guy”? Nope. He certainly is “clever” which is what delineates smart from “criminal con man”. Clever is what he uses for his grift, with American citizens and the national stage as his target market, to line his pockets along with the pockets of his cronies, the ultra rich. The bright note is that there is a huge collective of Americans who see Trump for what he is. We are NOT supportive of any of this nonsense since 1/20/2025. Musk/Trump/Vance are an embarrassment we did not vote for. We stand with Ukraine, Canada, and Mexico who echo normal reason.

It's so bad that you have to paint Trump's belly in order not to make things worse just because you're telling the truth.\n\nAnyway, I have a lot of respect for Trudeau, he's a REALLY smart guy. I wish we had him as chancellor in Germany, instead of Darth Merz Vader who unfortunately awaits us here for the next 4 years. But well, one look at the USA is enough to see that it can get much, much, much worse.

Lets see Trump talk like this to his people....It's hard to deal with someone who is constantly changing the goal-posts on the fentanyl crisis (whatever that is...)to other petty things. Trump is a very dumb person, who really is not in control of his administration. Musk is the real guy running the show going by what he's been doing. As a Canadian, Americans have always been looked at as my friends who I would have no problem standing beside if things went real bad. your Mussolini dictator is not doing anything good for your country, he is trashing it before your eyes.\nSo long comrades, enjoy the free vodka provided by Russia.

Come on guys stop saying “America” and just say “Trump” this is his shitshow circus and I didn’t vote for him.

Smart guys don't make dumb decisions. Trump is not a smart guy.

Canada President was right about protecting his country, but his wrong about Trump, he not a smart guy….. he’s a Russian sympathizer trying to take over the world….. I’m embarrassed to have him as our president United States.

Venting his emotions in public—man, what a clown. Did he say anything relevant? It took him nine minutes just to say, 'Oh, Trump did what he said three weeks ago,' cry, and play the friend card. Why does he even have the right to speak when he was the president? Man, we’ve got to stop giving attention to that guy.

With all due respect, you lost me when you said that trump is a very smart guy (he's actually a moron).

I wonder if we could trade trump for this guy ?

I voted for Trump, but it's hard not to agree with Trudeau on this even though I find this guy to be extremely unpleasant. There's no reason to start trade wars all over the world and in particular with our neighbors. It's one thing to threaten tariffs and a very different thing to actually apply them. If you do it has to be accompanied by a lot of diplomacy so that the other country is not overreacting, but Trump has been super combative prompting our neighbors to respond in kind to save face. While past deals may not have been great for US, this is not the way to handle our differences. Billionaires like Trump and his friends will be fine, but the majority of ordinary folks in the US and Canada will suffer. Very dumb, indeed.

Yet, a majority of Canadians are so full of hatred themselves and want to replace Trudeau with a Trumper named Pierre Poilieve. This is how stupid people are all over the world, this is not just a US thing. The Trump propaganda forced Trudeau to step down for no real reason. He let in too many immigrants yes,,but so did every other world leader, thats it, but enough for the Canada Trumpers to throw away free health care. Trunpers in Ontario just won a landslide with Dictator Doug Ford.\nOnce Pierre Poilieve takes charge we will be paying for healthcare and a 51st state. \nCanadians are making the same mistake due to fake news and propaganda by Trumpers/Truckers. Those Canadians dont want free health care anymore, they want Pierre Poilieve's hate filled agenda over a smart well spoken guy like Trudeau. Just watch and see...Canada is about to f up bad..

Trump had to strong arm this guy to get stuff done... now the little turd cries.

I like how Trudeau left out all the money we just hand over to Canada. America won’t be bullied anymore with Trump. \nFor all you Democrats, if you guys wouldn’t have paved the way with your “Woke” mandates on everything without civil discourse, Trump wouldn’t have been elected. Democrats showed him how to govern this way and he is not holding back at all. Trump is the fallout from the Democrats and we all will pay for it.

“Make no mistake”. You guys love saying that as you have some extraordinary knowledge. Trump is one of the brightest business men in the world. He knows what he is doing. Canada has taken advantage of the US for a long time and Trump knows this. I’m not even from the US and this makes sense for USA long term.

the more i hear about this donald trump guy, the more i don’t care for him

Trump never aligned with Putin. This is grossly spoken. Trudeau is mad about tariffs. We get charged tariffs by so many countries but suddenly we are the bad guys? Get real.

Ok…. When did Trump become a “smart guy”? He makes some pretty dumb decisions…

Only he wasn't speaking directly to trump. He was speaking to a camera. Pretending to be a tough guy. \nAlso he said Canadians are reasonable and polite... except for the fact that a buncha drunken bostonians still behaved better than every Canadian hockey fan that ever existed a couple weeks ago when the Canadians booed our national anthem. \nF canada. F trudeau what a scumbag.

Great speech!! I only have my doubts about the part 'you are a smart guy...'. It's polite, but not true. Trump is dumb as hell.
