I have no words for how insanely stupid and inept Trump is.

Hey Mr Trudeau, for your speech to be most effective, please repeat at least ten times, that the republicans are imposing a stiff NEW TAX on Americans. Americans don’t know what a tariff is. It is a TAX and Americans are allergic to that word. Call it a TAX, again and again if you want Americans to dislike it.

I'm impressed of Trudeau put his word said America your government done this to you

Prime minister: you use big words US president will not understand

Sadly to Trump supporters this is incomprehensible.\n\nToo many words with more than one syllable ?

Narcissistic Trudeau is a good example of what’s wrong with this world. I don’t believe a word he says, and Trump sees straight through his woke nonsense.

Trump is not a very smart guy I hope he was being sarcastic with the word “very”

Sorry but I disagree with Trudeau. The word Smart is never associated with Trump. Only words like stupid, dumb, bully, racist and narcissistic described him.

Most normal Americans don't want it either but the Trump cult members believe every crazy word that man says. Not all Republicans are in love with his cult but I don't think they know what to do to control him..

Big words from Governor Trudeau ?

Now that’s how you talk to the people! He provided all the facts on the situation followed by the solutions. I felt every word he said. Outstanding representation of a leader.

If Justin waited a little longer, he might not have needed to resign. I don't support Trudeau, but I appreciate every word he said here.

Let's see take your Own word. Don't cry later

Well, I must say Very well spoken , great choice of words respectively and dignified ❤️?

So proud of Justin Trudeau today. He is a decent man and leader, speaking the truth. I wish for the American people the same, a good leader to come, someone new. What is happening right now in the States is horrible and dangerous. No words.

If you believe a word this worm says, you're a fool. Canadians know better than to believe a word this self-serving fluffer says.

My response to the USA people: We will give you access to the Arctic, we will work together, we will sign new deals for the minerals and electricity that you need, we can work together to do all these things and beyond.\n\nWe will defend the continent together, we've always been your friends. Just ask what you need, and we will politely agree. Always been that way... why the sudden change? Just leave our economy and sovereignty alone. What is this?? Why are we even having that conversation today ? Your 80-year old president wants to destroy the World, the same world we all lived in for generations, for what? He won't even be alive in the next 5-10 years. Was your President offered good money and other people are running the show? Seems likely to me.\n\nI have no words honestly.

I'm an America veteran and retired teacher...I didn't vote, endorse, promote anything the felon and insurgent Donald tRump has done, to the contrary, I am an independent progressive. The words spoken here ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. My views are not based in politics, but in common sense. I am just one, but I do not support this insane administration.

Well said and true words

Thank you for your words

Unfortunately, intelligent words don’t work with MAGA mindset. Standing together is good but doing it in a virtual world makes no difference to a real war in Ukraine where people continue to die as the orange face in a suit without a man inside it destroys the world around him.,

We understand Canada!\n Trump is a traitor Russian puppet Traitor! Worst president in American history! People throw the word Traitor around a lot now days, but Trump is a real Traitor

Trumps own words, “Vote for me, you will never have to vote again!” \nThis one is showing up on several pages. Make up your own mind. \nThere is something rancid in America, a slow, creeping rot that smells like cold McDonald’s fries, aerosol hairspray, and the unmistakable musk of a country too sedated to recognize its own hostage situation. For years, the idea that Donald Trump was compromised by Russia was dismissed as paranoid fantasy—just another wild-eyed conspiracy theory, another overblown headline in the endless saga of American political dysfunction. \nBut now, two former Soviet intelligence officers—Alnur Mussayev and Yuri Shvets—are saying it outright: Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987, groomed as an asset, and remains under Russian control to this day. \nAnd the worst part? He’s already back in the White House. \nThat’s right, America. You did it. You walked face-first into the banana peel of history, slipped, and fell straight into the arms of Vladimir Putin. Trump was kicked out in 2020, spent four years plotting his comeback, and now he’s returned, like a bloated, orange cockroach that just won’t die. The Kremlin’s favorite stooge is running the country again, and this time, he knows exactly how to stay in power. \nIf you think this is just another round of the Trump Show, you’re not paying attention. This isn’t politics anymore. This is treason. This is foreign subversion. This is a God forsaken coup in slow motion. \nLet’s break it down, nice and simple. \nAlnur Mussayev isn’t some Twitter conspiracy theorist with a tinfoil hat and a podcast. He’s the former head of Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee, which means he knows exactly how Russian intelligence works—because he was part of the system. And what he’s saying should make every American’s blood run cold. \nAccording to Mussayev, Trump was identified, recruited, and compromised by the KGB in 1987 during his first trip to Moscow. They saw him for what he was: a narcissistic, greedy, attention-starved buffoon who could be easily manipulated. The KGB flattered him, promised him business deals, and planted the seeds of political ambition in his empty little head. And from that moment on, he was their man. \nBut Mussayev isn’t alone. Former KGB major Yuri Shvets said the exact same thing in 2021: Trump was cultivated by Soviet intelligence because he was an easy mark—too stupid to realize he was being played, too egotistical to care. They saw him as a useful idiot—a man who could one day be nudged into power, a walking, talking Trojan Horse for Russian interests. \nAnd now? The plan has worked. Trump spent four years in office weakening America from within, got booted out, and now he’s back for round two. \nIf you had told the American public in 1962 that a Soviet-backed asset would one day sit in the White House, they would have burned Washington to the ground before letting it happen. But today? Nobody seems to care. \nThe media treats this like just another wacky subplot in the never-ending Trump reality show. Congress is too busy fighting over meaningless culture war nonsense to do anything about it. And the American public? Exhausted. Numb. Checked out. Years of scandals—Russia collusion, Ukraine blackmail, classified documents, tax fraud, sexual assault, an attempted coup—have fried the country’s brain like an overcooked steak at Mar-a-Lago. \nTrump has done the impossible. He has committed so many crimes, so openly, so brazenly, that none of them matter anymore. \nAnd now, with Mussayev’s revelation that Trump is an active foreign asset, we have finally reached the point where the biggest political scandal in American history is met with a collective shrug. \nThis is how democracy dies—not with a bang, but with a goddamn eye-roll. \nThis is the part where the skeptics start clutching their pearls. “Oh, come on,” they say. “If Trump were really a Russian asset, wouldn’t there be more proof?” \nTo which I say: Are you blind, or just willfully stupid? \nLet’s go through the evidence, shall we? \nTrump spent his entire first term doing exactly what Russia wanted. He attacked NATO, calling it “obsolete” and threatening to pull the U.S. out. He tried to blackmail Ukraine into manufacturing dirt on Joe Biden, because weakening Ukraine helps one man and one man only: Vladimir Putin. He pulled U.S. troops out of Syria, handing power over to Russian forces. He picked fights with Canada and Europe while cozying up to dictators. \nEven now, in his second term, he is more openly pro-Putin than ever. He has made it clear that he will not protect NATO allies from Russian aggression. He is actively dismantling America’s alliances, just as Russia planned. And while Americans scream at each other over whether Target should sell rainbow t-shirts, Trump is quietly selling the country to the Kremlin. \nAt some point, you have to stop calling it a coincidence and start calling it what it is: treason. \nThe United States is running out of time. If Trump serves out this term without being removed, America as a functioning democracy is finished. \nThe media needs to wake up. Enough with the “Trump fatigue” excuse. This is not just another scandal—this is the single greatest infiltration of American power in history. Journalists need to dig into Mussayev’s claims, demand declassification of intelligence files, and treat this like the national emergency that it is. \nCongress needs to subpoena Mussayev immediately. His testimony must be public, and every document he has should be reviewed. If there is proof that Trump has been compromised since the 1980s, the American people need to know. \nThe Justice Department needs to stop pretending that Trump is just another politician. If there is evidence that the sitting president of the United States is working in Russia’s interests, he must be removed from office and prosecuted for espionage. \nAnd the American public? You have one last chance. This is not about Republican vs. Democrat. This is not about taxes, gas prices, or whatever nonsense outrage is dominating the news today. This is about whether the United States remains a sovereign nation, or if we spend the rest of the century as a Russian client state with a golf course. \nThe sheer volume of Trump's corruption, the blatant nature of his crimes, the mountain of evidence that should have ended his political career a hundred times over—none of it mattered. He survived it all, not because he was innocent, but because he drowned the country in so much scandal that nothing stuck. \nBut this time, it’s different. If Mussayev and Shvets are right, this isn’t just another chapter in the endless Trump circus. This is the culmination of a decades-long Russian intelligence operation to install an asset in the White House. \nThere is no coming back from this. If America lets Trump serve out this term without removing him, then the United States as a democratic republic is finished. The country won’t collapse overnight. There won’t be tanks in the streets. Instead, the destruction of democracy will happen in slow motion—buried under lawsuits, propaganda, and corruption so blatant that people stop caring. \nIf America lets this happen—if Trump is allowed to complete his mission—then Putin wins. The West crumbles. And the people who could have stopped it will look back, years from now, and wonder how they let it happen. \nGood night, and good luck. Because if people don’t wake up, America is going to sleepwalk straight into its own funeral.

Big words from the feel good Tyrant.

He said the F word -- The Trump administration has no interests in FACTS

Texas has a higher GDP than Canada, get real! Saying he appeasing Russia is bullshit because he doesn't want to throw mean words around, he wants Russia at the negotiation table.

I am sorry, I had to pause it..when he started speaking the Donald, his word choice went down to a like 3rd grade level. Hahahah..he knows the guy so well.

Words from a wannabe dictator

Trudeau says a bunch of words.... great job Canada.\n\nAmerica acts. \n\nstop talking. do something.

Justin Trudeau is giving it to Trump with no chaser. He is standing up to this dictator and I love every word he said. You can't get any clearer than that!

What is it about those that stick to Trump like flies to dog excrement (Fox news, JD “Howz my mascara?”Vance, Rubio etc), they are so preoccupied with ensuring their King receives respect and arse kissing? It’s as if the dismantling of all respect for their country and the deteriorating livelihoods of Americans (incl those of their own voters) is not worth a single word. I think the answer is simple. They know they work for a dictator and their jobs hinge on just following Trump albeit off a cliff.

This is the words of a true leader who cares for his country and people.

Won't listen to a word Trudeau the traitor spews.

Kremlin infiltrated white house mark my words

Wernt you basically fired cause your such an idiot, I wouldn’t listen to a word this guy says

You resigned anyway. So just leave. No one cares about your words and it shows, tariffs took place .

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for your clear words!

I don't get it why americans voted for trump. How can you even believe his words ?

Mark my words. Trump will call a no good in his way out liar.

Canada we don't need yal. Canada alway get billions from America. Bye. Canada wasn't a country until all the countries invested billions every year into a program. Canada is a experiment. Drugs come across your borders look up all the evidence. You started yesterday on securing the borders? Why? Because of the 25% tariffs, right? Why your government didn't start before the tariffs? But you mad because you didn't stick to your word ,7 years ago about securing the borders. You playing mind games to the people who lack education. But people do read government documents. You waited til the 25% tariffs started. Take accountability for Canada government mistakes.

Only problem is a good chunk of people don’t care bout a word he says

The U.S. has zero credibility with it's historical allies right now. No country or it's leadership can take the U.S. at it's word in any treaties or trade deals with Donald Trump at the helm. His word is completely useless. It is pointless to enter into any kind of an agreement with the U.S. under the current administration.

Australian here, I honestly have no words, but that speech is amazing well done prime minister Trudeau. What a man and what a country ? ? love to all Canadians ❤

Mr, Trudeau prime minister, I am glad that you are standing up to trump do what is right for your country do not allow this, man child trump push you around, stand up take a stand do what is right what is just, your people who voted for you deserve it, show the world ?? that integrity, honestly and the rule of law still matters, let the world see trump for what he is, and I say to the other leaders do not be afraid to do the right thing, a good leader loves his people a good leader protects it's people , silence ? at this point in time is not acceptable, when you see tyranny speak up i asked my father ounce what makes a man, i could see in his face that he was thinking about this question very hard and he turned and looked at me and said, a man will stand up for what he believes in,no matter the price, and a real man will always protect those that can't protect themselves, for this is the mark of a real man and gentleman, i have never forgotten those words that he spoke to me, and I believe that this saying also has religious implication as well, after everything is said and done it's not the voters that are going to judge you in the end it's god and he is going to judge you on his standards not MAGA

Love how he slows down his speech speed and uses simple words.

He does not speak an honest word. The tone and cadence of speech is so scripted and acted, at least we get to see Trump how he really is, this is a wolf in sheeps clothing. Zero authenticity.

from Germany: \nSince the war in Ukraine, Germany has been buying 13 times more gas from the USA (from 1% currently to 13%). It's time to show solidarity with Canada and get our gas from there. To all Canadians: be grateful for such a sincere and intelligent prime minister. Thank you, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, for your clear words!

That was MY Prime Minister speaking. I'll give him his credit, that he was very polite and reserved in his choice words. More than %40M other Canadians aren't so compelled to behave. Remember that, when you cross the border.

I am Italian , so english is not my native language , I was able to understand every words PM Trudeau said, very logicaland rational thinking, at the contrary when mr. Trump speack\n even understanding the words he pronuncies is impossible for me to understand him, no logic or rationality .

Trudeau show spine and character in his words. He doesn't suck up to trump like European leaders have been doing. Bravo.
