He is a lying sack of poop. I don’t trust a word he says

Tough words from a PM who has destroyed everything he has touched in our Canadian economy, persecuted peaceful protesters, froze people's bank accounts, and divided people on every issue. Now he is going to talk tough to Donald Trump as he walks out the door? What an absolute hypocrite!!!!

Bro, if you get Canada to be mad at you, the best neighbours anyone could ever ask for, you know you've fukked up.\nAlso, Canada come join us the European Union, we're waiting for you with open arms, we're true to our word unlike that Russian puppet in the White House.

Canada. I don't even know what to say. I grew up 2 hours south of the border. The world sees that Canada has kept their word the whole time. I'm so sorry for you and for us. This is so dumb.

Wow - when directly speaking to Trump, he definitely changed his language in a way Trump can understand words such as “big” and “large”

Them sound like like fighting words to me!

Im here for the Canadian red state boycott. They aren't going to listen to your words. They need to pay for inflicting us with Trump.

One word MAGA!!

Trade War, Water War, Word War, Financial War, Environment War, we are sick & tired for all wars!

We are unfortunately going to have to go through a period of chaos and pain before we, the American people, finally rid ourselves of this mad man and his gang of sycophant squatters who have occupied the Executive branch of our government. My only words of encouragement are - this too shall pass, but I don't know when.

Have to love how he mimics Trump’s language (with “big things”) and how he uses shorter words when he is addressing him.

Been whatever on Trudeau but he's talking some clear words here, our European leaders should follow and also work closer with Canada.\nAlso our politicians should discontinue using X as a platform to communicate with the electorate - it's undemocratic.

If only ALL U.S. journalists could learn how to pronounce 'fentanyl'. There is NO -ALL in 'fentanyl'. Doesn't anybody actually look at the word and think about the pronunciation based on the spelling?

Trumps word is as good as Putins.\nNo Deal! I stand with you Canada!\n??⚖️??

All Trump said during his campaign was: 'it's never been done before' but could not present anything tangible to back it whilst being a crook and criminal himself - his actions spoke louder than words, but voters that voted for him heard only words! learn from that

This isnt a personal Strike to Canada from the US, This is Business. \nSecurity isnt free and the US will not be hurt by this. \nFinally, the USA goverment is forcing manufacturung back to the US. \nThere is one winner from this and its not Canada. Mark my words. \nSpeaches like This one is only to peak the interest of ignorant and small minded people. \nWake up people. This is just Trudeau Using media to make it like Canada is being picked on. \nWill there be a Canada in 20 years?

Thank you Mr Trudeau, but the people that need to hear you won’t be capable of understanding a word you’re saying unfortunately. Godspeed to Canada

You idiots at CNNo use the word blistering, like you are a Canadian! AS long as CNNo keeps showing your true colors of loyalty, WE AMERICANS NEED TO CONTINUE TO NOT WATCH UNTIL IT GOES AWAY!! I know it's hard to run a network without your kickback money!! And with only brainwashed viewers, there is nothing left for you to report!! CNNo you have no CREDIBILITY!!!!!

Get out of here you traitor. Canadians follow usa politics more then the average American themselves. Trudeau needs to go to jail. He's literally out of office in a few days he should have no words at all

Lots of nice words of support from Americans, but “thoughts and prayers” are not enough — now is the time to take action! If you truly support Canada and Ukraine, let your congressperson and senators know how you feel. Voice your anger at town halls, write your leaders, protest in the streets, and for god’s sake, stop buying Teslas!

The word of the day is!!!!!!!!\nRECIPROCAL?????\nOk for the, but not for me, right?

Who gives a shit about the lame duck trudeau , his words me even lass than they did before.

Justin Trudeau with iron in his voice. Thank you, Mr President. As a British person on my side of the Pond, these are welcome and necessary words. Let us all in Britain and in Europe echo Mr Trudeau's sentiments. We want our friendship with America back, intact, but it requires the removal of Trumpism and fascism from the American psyche. American democracy can come back better and stronger in the absence of its current madness and malaise. Trump is not a President. He is a Pretendident.

Trump is clever, not smart. And a person giving his/her word means literally nothing to him.

Nice words. Allied? Maybe some years ago

take back everything you instated for trump with border security and let them deal with there own drug problems... and start refusing american goods at the border... tell them we only pay a set amount or send it back! when the US asks why we did it we can tell them it was to cover the costs of tarriffs that trump thinks the government pays... well lets make his words ring true at their expense!

Funny telling - because harshly words always using Trump and what you USA expect , because ‘this message was very much polite and professional sent to Americans. Trump not knowing to speak with diplomacy and respect for others !

Friends and allies don’t screw their neighbors with massive trade deficits. Equal is equal. Deficit is deficit. Words have meanings.

I hope europe also will be able to hold together like this and have the balls for such true words against Trump.

What harsh language? The words he used are just about right.

Be careful with your words, Trump is testing all countries. Be strong ❤

Fake news channel don't listen to a word out of their lieing mouths.

Suddenly you are true friends???? True friend understand NOT to take advantages from each other. According to President Trump, the US s-called friends did exactly the opposite, you all are taking BIG advantages from the US, in other words, you so-called friends have been leeching out from the US for decades. Now comes a president that want to make the records straight, now you have been crying like baby. Trudeau, normally I do NOT give fascist/Nazi lovers a good advice, but I will make an exception, did you call President Donal Trump DUMB??? Don't you think that is TOTALLY disrespectful??????

Hi, American citizen here. Please know that half of us are so, so embarrassed to be part of the United States and to have Trump as our president. I cannot put into words how upsetting it is to know that so many people elected him a second time.

Dumb isnt the word for him to do his pr rating be in the shitter big time

Trudeau needs to use the word bigly, lest Donald dumb doesn't understand.

Lies in the first five words

Let’s see trump say one simple word in a second language ??????????

That is a speech which will go down in history like some of Sir Winston Churchill's. It gave me courage, boosted my faith that possibly good will prevail. I spent 7 years of my childhood in Canada in the '50s. My heart is with Canada, Trudeau is a statesman in the best sense of the word.

This guy is not our PM he resigned so he put the government out while the liberals have their leadership crisis as the country hangs in the balance. He is nothing but empty words!

Good and honest words from Prime Minister Trudeau to Canadians, Americans, the world and Trump, who is called dumb. A fair and undeniable description, but only Americans can change their government.

trump is NOT smart he says he knows big words... just because beautiful has 9 letters doesn't mean it's a big word. trum.p has ruined America

As an American..This is how a leader speaks..and not a bunch of word salad BS like Trump and his goons address the world. Just embarrassing as hell.

Such words of hope. Hearing them gives hope to the suppressed Americans

Strong strong words

Noticed when he adresses Donald directly he uses less complicated /educated words? ???????

No wonder trump likes the uneducated stupid dumb people that’s what he said his own words. Remember trump you can’t fool everyone all the time .

Remember the 1st 2 words in NATO. Exactly. Blow Trudeau, blow.

Can you come be our president? The orange turd is losing it. And you are more handsome than him. And have bigger hands. And you have better words, the best words in fact.

He is a lying piece of waste,ten years of of destroying Canada.\nA chess pawn of the elite, don’t believe a word he says.
