Unlike Trump and his project 2025 cronies, The president of Canada is a real and respectable man who loves his country and thinks about the less fortunate, only the wealthy and the countries that is not in alliance with the USA trump cares about. May God help us

Hes a smart wonderful man you all should be so proud of your President. Stand by his side always.

This is a leader. So thankful this man is leading our country on this day. He will be greatly missed. Much respect Prime Minister Trudeau. ❤??❤️

Somebody needs to tell donald, the disgraced, soon to be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, soon to be former president, the never to be premier of America which is the soon to be 11th province of Canada by way of unanimous consent of the American public... DON'T START NO SH*T WOULDN'T BE NO SH*T!\nYou know what this is about don't you?? donald is mad at our Prime Minister because he was caught joking and making fun of donald with other world leaders at the 2019 NATO summit in London. So because donald has microscopically thin skin he can't take his over inflated ego being bruised in any way, so to get back at Trudeau he's going to take it out on the Canadian public and the American public, the consequences be dammed. The only thing that is important to him is revenge no matter what the cost. Besides, when Trudeau visited the Whitehouse, Melania gave him googly eyes and melted in his presence. Let's face it donald, you can never come close to ever being the man our Prime Minister is as much as I dislike Trudeau and are glade to see him gone.

I support Canada’s decision from the US because our government is being controlled by a mad man who doesn’t care about the American people.

Well said that man!

I sure wish we had a leader like canada. We have a mentally unfit old man in charge of our country. So happy canada is not backing down to the bully donald. I wish i could go live in canada untill the imature child 4 yrs. Is past. So sorry to you canada for what this immature bully is doing. So sorry for a convicted felon, sexual predator, has done to the countries.

Who can now have any doubt but that Trump is Putin’s man in Washington?\nTrump and Musk have absolutely no care for ordinary Americans, so why would they care for Canadians, Europeans or Ukrainians?

Canada is our closest and strongest ally and Trump is a lunatic. He is greedy and will destroy America as we know it. He is not smart man nor a savvy businessman. You are so right, Putan has him in his back pocket...

What a intelligent man! And Trump what a stupid mongo!

I hope that Man Dump NEVER Gets the Nobel Peace Prize.He is not worthy of it.

Donaldvonshitsinpants, is upset that his wife Melinia smiled at this beautiful, handsome man. He's everything Donaldvonshitsinpants is not. Kind, thoughtful, slim, intelligent. Most wars start about women.

there is something not right with trump how a man like that gets to be president of the USA just beggers believe

There was some sugarcoating: Trump a smart man???? Trump mistook raw earth for rare earth although he was going to sign a deal of global importance exactly about this. What level of stupidity is admissible for a US president? Impeach Trump now!

Like I've said before or two other blogs, this man should not be up there addressing CNN or any other network or any population. Whether it be Canadian or American. He has no right to be there. He is not the prime minister of this country anymore. He has no right to be making policies or to be imposing tariffs or doing anything else of the sort. Furthermore, he is also politically, unsavvy and ignorant. He in his running the mouth speech this afternoon. Insulted Donald Trump again by calling him dumb. I'm telling you that will not go very well with Mr. Trump and I wouldn't be surprised to see additional tariff percentage increased on the 25% already in place. Justin Trudeau is not a prime minister. He is a thug, an absolute idiot, a moron and any other adjective that you can find to describe someone who is totally and completely incompetent and incapable of implementing policy or running a country.

Intelligence man , ? for Trudeau

I like this man.

I agree with Canada in every statement said here. It’s sad that Americans have allowed themselves to be manipulated by one man. As an American I say to Canada and Mexico, do what you need. We don’t see this as an attack on us, but as a response to an attack by Trump on your countries. I used to wonder how Hitler was able to convince so many to follow him. We have seen exactly the same behavior by Americans, today, who follow Trump. It’s sad, and it’s disgusting.

Man it would be so much cooler if he wasn't the biggest tool in the world we don't forget how you treat us during covid.

At this juncture the whole world have seen how ignorant American voters are by allowing this low profile exconvict and a draft dodger to dictate for a country like America , TRUMP himself is illitrate forget about the English language the man knows nothing when it comes to international politics and how American foreign policies work , a man with zero experience public office how can he rule but guess what American people deserve everything thats been happening to them , they better stfu and deal with it

That is a true leader speaking! Clear, precise, well spoken, without name calling, belittling, and other idiotic, childish behavior.\nYou Canadians can be proud of your leader. A man of integrity and principles. He has everything the orange balloon with a mouth doesn't have!\nThe idiot Trump will have to eat his words and beg you for mercy.\nTime for Mexico to speak up too!

Denmark, Europe here: We support your decision to fight back and stand by our Canadian brothers and sisters! Stay strong and keep fighting the Orange man.

Canadian Prime Minister is a Real mature man that speaks eloquently and is intelligent and is correct and fair !!\n Beautiful speech , thank you Prime Minister, we as Middle class Americans are fighting for our survival and are scared that Trump is listening to billionaires instead of the People!!❤️???

Why does he feel the need to stroke Trump's ego, calling him a smart man, while condemning his actions. He articulates all the harm and difficulties Trump's actions, and these tariffs will cause, but refuses to point to the source of this stupidity directly, and call him out for it.

As an American I am so sorry for the pathetic acts of that man who isn't my president. He has the job and he's fucking it up properly. I am sorry. We are sorry. We will make up for this in the future and history will hold the asshole responsible. Again I'm sorry. We don't want this. They don't listen and our elected representatives are underpowered and weak to fix things.\n\nAre you guys taking American political refugees yet? I'm ready to come north.

If Trudeau acted like this and primarily focused on the economy he would’ve been unstoppable \n\nI hate Trudeau but what a good speech man

Respect from Australia, this is exactly what Canada should do, stand up to this bully. I don't think you should bother trying to negotiate with him, Trump is a liar and a fool and talking to him is a waste of time, he's too stupid to understand. When the US slaps you, slap them back. I sincerely hope to see Mexico respond in the same way, slap Trump back twice as hard.\n\nIf the US wants to go kissing Putins ass, go on, but don't try to force the rest of us to kiss his ass with you.\nIf the US wants to find savings in government #DefundElonMusk a filthy rich man receiving government aid, he's sucked up $38 billion, that's government waste in the extreme.

There is no logic, reason or precedent for these tariffs. It’s just on a whim, on a crackpot idea from a man who knows nothing about international economics. It’s folly.

This man is a real leader, not what trump is...

Simply, dumbest little man in history. Trump has the biggest little man syndrome I’ve seen.

Man this sounds like propaganda

A smart man? ?The con has a string of bankruptcies including the recent bitcoin scam.

I disagree on one point. Donnie is not a smart man. I realize Trudeau was just being diplomatic though.

It’s on a popping now !!! Ignorant people in the WH !!! Pennsylvania Ave z!! You proud of yourself orange man.

I'm not a fan of Justin Trudeau by any means, HOWEVER... Hearing his speech just now filled me with pride to be Canadian and standing up to the new autocratic fascist government of our southern neighbour. I've watched over the last +/- 40 days the UnUnited States of America devolve into Russia's lap dog, with Putin's excrement on Orange Man's face on a near daily basis. I hope that whatever good people left down there can rise up and take back their country ASAP, otherwise the entire world will suffer the catastrophic consequences!

There are no words in any language that adequately describe just how big of a moron Donald Trump is. Its genuinely terrifying how so many people support this sad excuse for a man and look to him as a leader.

I really don't normally agree with this guy, but he is so much more of a man than Trump.

Trump: it's just 25% man, u can handle it \nJustine: ooooo ?

A smart man? He is nothing less than an absolute dumb prick...

Trump truly is an idiot I am shocked that our political system is crumbling right before our eyes becouse of one man and that is wanna be Dictator Trump who needs to be Impeached ASAP and his cronies starting with the disgusting and Discrase of a Vise President JD Vance who should resign immediately fellow Americans we need to wake up and Fast yes I had voted for Trump thinking he was gonna make America ?? great yeah well he duped us all he is slowly Destroying America he has his own agenda which obviously is not Good. God bless our Country and Slava Ukraine ?

Trudeau is a \nSmart and honorable man !\nCanada is well represented in the world!

Fentanyl coming in from Canada to the USA is 0.02 %. Soo... trump is lying about that. Truth is that Melania likes Justin Trudeau. He's younger and Much better looking than Old Man trump, And THAT gets under trumps thin skin. Soo thats why he's trying to belittle Trudeau in front of America and Canada. If trump didn't have $$$$ ? No woman would give him a second look even. He looks like and talks like a Ditty Ole Pervert just like His Pal And Good Friend Geoffrey Epstein did leering at young woman. Soo that's why he's shooting off his poisoned mouth wanting Our Great Country as the 51st state. Canada's tougher than he thinks and he'll see that When the Going gets Tuff, Canadians stand up for Ourselves!!!

Please president Trudeau ? \nI am not part of this war. Mr Trump and Vance are responsible not us abeg o! That man no get sense...I no vote for am abeg o biko have mercy ?

The man speaks from the HEART is truthful, listen to him trump, this man is not power driven like you he cares about humans

Respect for the manly response, Canada! ♥

I will make one correction. Trump is a very stupid man. Nothing smart about him.

Trump is a very smart man —LOL

Man, we really fucked up voting trump in. We really really messed up. Please world humble our country. Put trump in his place. Please we need the help. Our country is brainwashed.

I didn't vote for that man. Female or male..the US needs an intelligent, well spoken POTUS like Trudeau. All that tough guy act doesn't fly especially when you disrespect the Ukrainian president over what he's wearing, forgetting the reason behind that. Good luck to all on another 4yrs of nonsense

Ah yes, Trudeau..the man who stole people's life savings for protesting. The man who is surrounded by armed security while normal Canadians are arrested for defending themselves. The man who taxes the crap out of people and returns horrible health care. The man who thinks 50 year old men should be allowed to go into teenage girls locker rooms and compete against them because the man identifies as a 13 year old.
