Trump is going to go onstage tonight and lie about why the tariffs on Canada. We have done nothing to deserve this. One percent of fentanyl and one percent of illegal immigrants come from Canada into the USA. We give America a huge deal on oil. Trump lies about this to justify the tariffs. We did act on our border not just because trump demanded it but because it needed to be done. Still the tariffs came. He is a bully and a disgusting human being and I am sad that our friendship with the USA is over. He is putting Americas at risk and screwing his own farmers. We will not stand for this

The tariffs have NOTHING to do with fentanyl coming over the border, that's just another lie. DT doesn't give a fig if Americans die as a result of drug addiction. Have you ever heard him talk with compassion about how to actually help drug addicts in this country? This is about control, and power, and it's personal. He is a menace to all and we gotta stop him.

An intelligent, civil and respectful leader that is sincere and speaks the truth against the US administration lies. Trudeau cares about the Canadian people and the American people. That's admirable!

Dear Canada, take your stand. We support you! We have no loyalty to the orange Cheeto! He is lacking in intelligence! What he does he does for himself and muskrat! We know he is lying because his mouth is moving! Stay strong! California is behind you!\n\nGULF OF MEXICO!!!

Canadians are NOT polite, one of the biggest lies ever

It's unbelievable, but.. not really coming from the Orange guy, We love our Canadian brothers and sisters, im a disabled Vet, i stand with Canada and Ukraine, most the people of the USA do not stand with Trump, or his cabinet, in his delusional thinking about fentanyl it's a made-up lie it's propaganda seriously from the northern border and not the southern border there's no drugs coming through our Northern friends he's nitpicking at anything to start this trade war

Its all lies from the US , everything Trump does is to weaken the USA's relationship with its allies to the advantage of Russia and North Korea. He is undermining the USA's security at every level.

A lying dictator? He must be your brother

Wow Donald TRUMP is a horrible person. He somehow became President of the United States of America. I don’t blame people who believed his lies, but let us hope we can make it through his first year in office. Let us hope that our representatives, decide to stick up for democracy and not hang on Trumps coattails. I would hope they want to leave a legacy to better America and its people not drag us through the mud.

Lie Trudeau.

Most of what the U.S. sent to Ukraine was a GRANT that doesn't need to be repaid. A LOAN does with interest. The stats don't lie! The EU loaned nearly all funds sent.

And you tube Continue to lie and say they have to block me because of the kids When he’s talking about Fentanyl

“Lying murderous dictator.” Damn.

This black faced wearing, gender confused, WEF @ss kissing, treasonous criminal dictator, is a lying clown.\nHis delusional narcissistic condescending attitude makes me vomit every time I see or hear him. He is destroying Canada & our identity, He is a morally corrupt puppet.

And what lies about drugs he has made all the drug city’s and drugs legal look at all the videos of people taking drugs outside police stations and police can’t do anything about it because of this lier

He can’t use facts to reason with the orange felon, because the felon lives in a cesspool of lies. And, the felon must like it.

And what lies about drugs he has made all the drug city’s and drugs legal look at all the videos of people taking drugs outside police stations and police can’t do anything about it because of this lier

I’m European and what Trump is doing is really going to hurt USA the most. \nCause he is putting tariffs on so many. The pain for the countries that get tariffs put on them gets spread out, but for USA it gets to take the blows from all of them who retaliate back. It’s mentality insanity.\nAmericans will struggle the most from this.\nI hope you guys wake up and understand what is going on. \nDon’t believe the lies you hear from Trump. We don’t pay your tariffs, you do!\nInflation will also run amok because of this.

You know when Trump is lying, it’s when he speaks.

It's quite refreshing listening to a speech given by a head of state that isn't Donald. It's the contrast of truth and facts from one and lies and personal childish attacks from the other.

Shut your lying ass up. If you want to work with America carry your own weight. But like you said in your meeting with Trump few months ago without America your economy will crash. So don't bite the hand that feeds you if you know what's best for you

Thank you Canada! I’m so sorry this is happening, but thank you for calling out lies coming from this side. And thank you for retaliating, because unfortunately, I think we need to break before we can grow, and that’s so sad

Wow Here’s accusing Putin of being a liar and a dictator well well well true day accusing him of exactly what you are everything that comes from Trudeau‘s mouth is lies and collusion and he’s a dictator to his own people only thing you can say he’s not is a bully because he’s a weak fairy where is Putin has a black belt in judo

Cnn lies its proven

I am American independent voter who vote against Treasonous Trump this past election of 2024 in favor of Kamala Harris. While many of my fellow Americans voted for Trump many others like me did not. Now so many good and event Americans are going to suffer because of many Maga or Maga supporting Americans who foolishly chose to support Trump and his lies. Any pain and suffering Anti Trump supporting Americans, along international American Allies and theuir people, suffer will be squarely on the shoulders of Maga and Maga supporting Americans.\n\nHow Trumps first term wasn’t a wake up call and eye opener to how terrible he was and is as president is beyond me. He, treasonous Trump, did nothing to help our economy which essentially stalled or went into generally neutral state with essentially no growth positively or negatively, followed by a near complete nose dive due to Treasonous Trump’s poor handling and equally poor response to the Covid-!9 Pandemic. How people could seemed to forget that Treasonous Trump, not Joe Biden, was responsible for the current sate of things following the pandemic is beyond me. \n\nMaga and Maga supporting Americans have been conned again by Treasonous Trump, who not only failed to properly respond to the Covid pandemic but also incited and or encouraged many of Maga supporters to essentially attack the US Capitol in hopes of stopping Joe Biden’s Presidential Certification. Those in the Inter national world are not alone in their condemnation of the disgrace and embarrassment that sis current US President Trump. True Americans who believe in our constitution and rule of law as decreed by the founding fathers of our nation must unfortunately bare part of the shame Maga America has brought upon our country as a whole.Truly good and decent Americans must bare the shame of now living in a country that much International world now no longer trusts and has lost respect for. For all the hateful Maga thinking and or supporting Americans there are as many truly good non maga Americans who want more peaceful relations with allies in the international world. Sadly because of Trump and his hate many must now unjustly suffer .

I will never understand how so many Americans thought it was a good idea to vote for someone who’s clearly stupid and who lies about practically everything. How? The whole world watched this horror show and knew exactly what was happening. \nI will never understand how anyone can trust a narcissistic idiot like Donald. This pathetic excuse of a man makes me sick. ?

American here. Wish my president could give such a professional speech like this. No name calling. No lies. No blaming others.

All governments just want to see their people broke. It’s all a lie and a scam

I stand with Trump....deal with him not us. You ate a lying hypocrite that needs to resign. You had a chance to prevent this but chose your WOKE pride...you spit lies like breathe air. You control the government funded fake media. You opened your borders and now you deal with the consequences of your woke government.

We know president Chump is a very stupid person and his best friend muck or lying and stealing our money and do all there doing for the millionaires and they don’t care how where are doing. So Canada and Mexico do what you have to do and maybe we can throw him out of office. Best wishes

We already know those who follow Trump. Will believe whatever lies he tells them

IT'S NOT ABOUT FENTANOL. THAT'S A LIE. WHAT ABOUT THE ILLEGAL GUNS CROSSING INTO CANADA ?? ?

America is now run by a communist sympathiser and supported by communist friendly media its leader has already stated he wants to annex Canada, America must now be treated as a threat to all Western countries and isolated from all treaties as its future now lies in partnership with Russia

Trudeau wouldn't lie, so he had to quote WSJ to qualify Trump as 'smart'. So telling and frankly, deserved.

Great speech. Everything President Toad and Vice President VD Pants says is a lie. A malicious lie.

Canadians are just dumb, thats why this lying freemason can decieve the people who live there, these puppets dont work for the people, they serve the evil entity behind the curtain, the true controllers of this flat earth, surprisingly this puppet left it out in this scripted garbage, fentanyl is made by the people he serves.

Any chance the US can become the 11th province of Canada? So ashamed and embarrassed to be an American right now. So impressed with the dignity and clarity with which you spoke. In sharp contrast to the vague, sweeping and hostile lies of our “leader” every time he opens his mouth.

They have chosen to shut you down , they dont need canada, stop screwing your own people with your corruption. Stop immigration you have a whole country full of terrorist due to this golabalist no different than starmer. Lying bustard

More Canadians will just move to America! I don’t know what’s more ridiculous; the amount of lies coming from his mouth or posts by brain washed CNN uneducated viewers. Or is it just an altered chain of comments… Not logical to have all ppl thinking the same. This is manipulation of truth.

Blame Canada! Blame Canada! You've abused the US for the LAST TIME! LOL. I can agree with one thing he said. Putin is a lying murderous dictator.

The lies coming from trudeau are unbelievable. What trudeau fails to tell you is that he legalized fentinal in British Columbia, and the reason seizures are low is because of his actions.

The majority of Canadians no longer trust Trudeau or his liberal cronies. He has prorouged our government to tie our hands behind our backs. Do you people understand what that means? It means Canadians no longer have a voice or a vote. Of course CNN fake news is promoting this bs and the lies because he pays them. We're not free to choose our own government, news sources or speak freely anymore. We want him gone and Pierre Pollieve to replace him.

a friend of Canada is not Trudeau. who is a lying corrupt china communist. he has a huge Chinese spy-ops role to play to fool the use

Oh my God, this dude is supposed to be retired, he lied about that as well he’s such a knucklehead, murderer, scammer, liar.

CNN you are stoking a fire. The PM wasn’t harsh. In fact he spoke clear, firm and respectful. Considering the disrespectful lies spewed recklessly from trump. Stop whitewashing trump and holding others to a different standard. Your failure to report honestly has contributed to this ghastly state of affairs.

Trudeau is a woke, no-good version of a modern dictator! Trump is a real leader! CNN keeps lying...

Donald Trump is a traitor! Remember when they had that meeting, Donald Trump, Putin, and North Korean dictator they didn’t invite Zelensky, after this meeting that’s when Donald Trump, was putting pressure on Zelensky to sign the mineral contract that’s why Donald Trump was acting the way he was acting, because Putin was mad at him. You wanna know why, one of his top KGB generals retired. He said that Putin help Donald Trump win the presidency in 2016. He said that Donald Trump owe them all this was in the same time all this happened. That’s why Donald Trump has got pressure on his ass. Putin is putting pressure on Donald Trump. Donald Trump is the People’s enemy and that’s what I see. I’ve been following this liar since the apprentice, he is a liar and the father of the lie”

Trudeau shows strength and empathy, not like the bully south of the border who spreads lies and hatred. Trudeau is constructive, Trump is destructive!

So much for Trump lies that Trudeau came begging him. We are watching Jesus's prophecy of Matthew 24 come to life. Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdoms to war.
