We stand with you Canada, china and Mexico. Don’t allow a convicted criminal felon who escaped prison term to bully your nation. I blame morons and illiterate racial haters who voted for this dementia old man who thinks he is God. America, you can correct your stupid mistake in 2027 by voting out Republicans in congress. With that, this insanity is stop instantly. His brain will start to function.

Well done Canada ??. It is time to stand up to bullies and unite with true allies that respect you and treat you with dignity. We seem to be dealing with a deranged madman who should be seeking proper medical treatment in a special medical facility, not ranting and raving in the Oval Office. Call it treason, corruption, greed, weakness, mental instability, cognitive decline, bullying, aggression, spitefulness, vengeance - the only person who should be considering resigning is the out-of-his-depth overpromising & under deliverer convicted sexual felon in the Oval Office who is p!ssing into the tent not out of it, with regards to your old allies.

As a Canadian, I am proud of our leadership on the tariffs. We are polite people, but we refuse to be bullied. How can Trump treat our country this way when he cozied up to dictators? Well, my siblings who are Americans won't see me for awhile. I have to stand with my country. Proud to be Canadian. We as a country are united against tyrannical behavior.

Sounds like your country Canada is being bullied like Ukraine was in the oval office on Friday

This is crazy! I’m so upset with Trump and his people for doing this to us in America and I completely understand that Canada has to do what it has to do since Trump is being a big bully.

Well said Mr. Trudeau. Thank you for speaking out, because our elected officials are not reigning him in and we have no hope since none of them have the ability to speak out against what he has done to the world in a short time. The are afraid of his bullying and I'm glad you stood the ground to take care of your people.

Good job all of you Countries need to stand up for yourselves because we Americans don’t agree with this either and we stand behind you all because being a bully is never a good things and Trump and Vance is putting all Americans at risk with the moves they are playing trying to run the World.Well you know what in all reality Trump and Vance does not care about the American people only the Billionaires he is beside including Elon.So Zelensky get with Canada and other European countries and hold your own against Russia.Putin is evil and Trump is his friend period and will back Russia before he does NATO

Trump is the biggest bully in the world. If he was a child he would be reprimanded or undergo counseling. Here is a grown man acting like a bullying child and running rampant creating chaos. He is also selfish and evil.. he also reminds me of Roberto mussolini the dictator of Italy during the second world War. This man cares about nothing than himself. Hooray for Trudeau who is an articulate and eloquent speaker not the bumbling buffoon south of the border.

We will stand strong and free. We love our American neighbors and friends, but we will not let this bully take advantage of our sovereign nation.

as a Canadian, all I can say is Trump has galvanized our nation not to take up arms, but not to ever capitulate to a bully. But I especially appreciate seeing all the people from around the world are standing with us, and that also includes americans that are equally upset by their president’s behavior.

Well done for standing up against bullies and tyrants.

Trump is insisting on tariffs because otherwise he has no traction to make deals. He's the neighborhood bully who steals other kids' toys, so he can extort their lunch money. #deranged

UK here....we have long been allies with Canada and we have never tolerated little bullies, be they orange or otherwise xx

Trump bullyings tactics are working

Cult-45, I have questions. \n Are you tr*itors happy now!?\n Are you enjoying the pain your King is putting our citizens, and other countries, in just because you love bullies!?

As an American I am with Canada and Truedau told it as it is !!! trump is an idiot, a bully a moron and only in this for his personal gain !!!! selfish B@$t@rd at the American and Canadian expense !!! !

As an American, who did not vote for trump i side with our neighbors in Canada, then and now. America should maintain and further their status as leader of the free world and free trade. Not try to bully other countries, especially not our neighbors and allies.

that trump is a coward and bully! He looks unhealthy and he will probably die from a serious health issue before the 4 Year term!!!

The US from the policeman of the world to the bully of the world. Time to turn our back to the US. They are not to be trusted anymore.

Thank You Mr Prime Minister, You Saud Exactly what needed to be said at this time, tRump gave Canada, Mexico, China no option but retaliation or comply.. Canada will retaliate as we don't have a Bully that is an Oligarchy Driven Maniac at the helm..\nVote ?? Every Time!!! ??❤✌

Reasonable gentleman (&arguments) against an misogynistic, mentally impaired bully.\nDystopian reality thanks to @Trump.

This is how we deal with dictators like trump and putin. This is what we have to do to stop this bullies.

I’m Canadian but lived in the US for 12 years. Trump keeps moving the goal post. This is bullying, plain and simple. Do not yield, Canada. You yield to a bully and he’ll keep taking and taking. I know my people of the north are strong and they know the hardships ahead are worth it for the greater good. But I also know my friends here in the US are largely in Canada’s favor and for that I am thankful. President Trump does not speak for all Americans.

Thank you Canada for fighting back against my country's government. Our bullies for a bully and we tried to warn them all this would happen but they didn't believe us. Heartbreaking.

Thank you Justin Trudeau! You are a true leader. I'm ashamed to admit I am a United States citizen. Sorry, I did not vote for the traitor. He's an ignorant out-of-control bully and those who support him are all liars and are kissing his ring. They are spineless.

Trump is a schoolyard bully

Trump is a bully picking on the weakest countries and makes friends with dictators like he wants to be!

That's what you do call a bully out to his FACE !!!!!

Trump is bully

In my family, the non-veterans are the most ardent supporters of this bully; I am a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and I think Trump is an embarrasment and a danger to our world.

Sigh ? … American here, I didn’t vote for him. Canada stay strong, I support you standing up for yourself and support you standing up to a bully. Honestly I’m just baffled by everything that keeps happening. It’s only been a month and I wonder what the next 4 years will look like. I don’t know what to do. I voted, that was my bit of voice, but the majority apparently wanted this. They made excuses for him, over and over again, and now we all have to suffer the consequences. He always told us who he was, so I don’t want to hear excuses if you voted for him! I’m pissed off, as well as sad.\nUkraine, my prays go out to you. The way your president was treated in the White House was abominable. Please know not all Americans are delusional enough to think what The Trump Dump did was ok in any way. Now we all just have to survive this shit storm as best we can, and stand up where, and when we are able.

I was almost born in Canada but because of an thyroid illness they did not aprove my mom to come to Canada (late 50`s) So my dad and grandfather decided to stay in the Netherlands. I have a soft spot for Canada........ could have been my home country. Good luck to all of us against dictators and bullies in this world. Who would have thought this will happen after 80 years of peace after a terrible world war and now becoming a threath again because of a few, so called wise men but actually todlers that never want to give in.

Money!!Money!!Money!! Trump is a crazy pretender who thinks he can bully every country

Go on Canada ???, don't let Trump bully you for no reason! \nFrom Czech ??

America under Trump has decided to be the World's biggest bully after Russia.

trump fooled supporters it is time to open your eyes and listen to the truth ...u.s a will fall if you allow poor decisions and bullying in custom made suits , the romans fell under a dictator too,

It is all lies. He uses fear and hate to bully our allies. He used fear and hate to win the election (and im not convinced they didnt actually cheat to win) and im not sure he even won. What a shit show. I love the movie millers crossing. I wish someone would take them on a long walk in the woods.

deals and agreements CANNOT and SHOULD NOT be done with liars and bullies because such invariably will eventually be violated and utterly and completely broken; there has already been various examples... USMCA for one.

WELL DONE, someone needs to stand up to Trump & his bullying. Keep at it up; this is like a breath of fresh air in this stinking USA government.

Imagine having a leader who is eloquent, thoughtful, intelligent, and strong, but kind and compassionate. Then imagine supporting a bully, a thug, a convicted felon, a rapist, a misogynist, a wanna-be tough guy who is really a small and petty person.

Canada has a very important “CARD” in the table. Invite China to be your business partner and invest heavily in your country and you won’t suffer anything because China is a super power too. Just change direction, it doesn’t matter where the wealth comes as long as you are working in partnership. China China China! That is a language Trump really understand. If you don’t do that then these tariffs will harm your people so don’t let that happen. Invite CHINA now! As much as I don’t like China I wouldn’t think I’d be watching this nonsense and bully behavior from our president.

As a Canadian I stand proudly on guard for my amazing sovereign country ❤ ?? ❤\nWe must protect ourselves from this extremely old, dumb Liar ,bully. Puppet Master want to be dictator, convicted felon, sexual predator and supporter of the war criminal killer, lying and bully Putin and Russia. \n\nI see what's happening to the American people, your constitution and bill of Rights because of trumps and his bunch of thugs administration and this will hurt both Canadian's and every single American, the United States is in great danger because of this deranged very old orange child bully who is in love with dictators. Youre country has been in decline and no longer the great coountry that the United States were. Believe me trump cares nothing for the American people. God bless you as both our countries, Mexico, and all countries are being hurt by trump/ Vance administration. As they support the dictator \nPutin the war criminal and lying bully.\nTrump / Vance are not Peace MAKERS and the war criminal and brutal dictator putin will never stop the war.\nThe world is that much closer to world war 3 because of trump bromance with putin.

I stand with you Canada, I know my pocket book is going to get hit, but you are being bullied and you either give in or stand up. Keep Standing up

This is what you need to do when faced with a BULLY !!

And they say Putin is a bully,now you can see who the real bully is.

Smart ass PM...Not everyone bow to bully..

You fool, this is not anti-Americanism.\nAmerica, more specifically Trump, picked this fight. Not Canada. Standing up to an overbearing bully who picks a fight is not anti-Americanism.

Trump is a narcissistic bully. They exist everywhere… but as an american president… this very dangerous.

What a great speech. This is exactly what Canada has to do. You can't back down from bullies. You have to confront them.

Trump's a tiny little narcissistic puppet of Russia. Canada has class, and they will not let him be a petulant bully. As an American, I am embarrassed by Trump's treatment of our allies, and I support Canada. Sorry, Canada. Trump's an idiot.
