I don’t understand MAGa, Canada is your closest ally (literally) why are you punishing them? It makes no sense.

No problem with Canadians. Not sure why they put up with Trudeau. It took this to get him to take action on the border, and from what I understand the Canadian accounting is flawed. E.g. one percent of ten percent surveilled is not impressive, when 90 percent are crossing freely.

From the US I understand your decision and hope that my country comes to it's senses

I don’t think the US President and his DEI (incompetent) coat-tail grabbers, understand the full extent of what trade wars can do to the world.

The (intelligent) American people understand

Well thought out speech. He even followed through with a sense of inclusion; when he was speaking directly to trump, he literally slowed down, lowered the level of his vocabulary, and spoke to him at the level of a child, clearly compensating so djt would understand through his cogniitive disability. See DEI is a good thing.

Obviousely, Trudeau talk to the American people first to explain the situation.\nHe knows that it's absolutely useless to convince Trump during 15 minutes : he knows Trump is totally insane and dumb and can't understand one real argument!

Brother please write our President and Elon. I don’t think they understand how democracy works!

This administration will go down at the worst administration in all history of America. The people that voted for Trump will go down as the same despicable traders cool in all of American history. I hope you hear that what he says you’re great great kids you’re great great grandkids will understand by itself. You cannot wipe that out. You can’t burn that book. You can’t change that note They will be talking about economy classes. They gonna be talking about this history classes they gonna be talking about Trump and JD Vance and this administration has the worst administration modern day America even in the past the worst thing that’s gonna happen is all of these guys who find himself alienated when they die. They will find himself alienated. Their kids will find himself alienated of their existence. The only way their kids is gonna escape that they have a daughters The only way you gonna escape that as a man who is back in this administration is to have daughters that could change their fucking name other than that any mail that is from these despicable despicable if you watch the movie, the despicable, even the guy that was the biggest biggest most craziest most narcissistic, OK we talk about the dude with all the minions minions. He even had a common sense and had a understanding and had a heart this administration talk about Biden talk about bull talk about Obb like they did something different. They didn’t do something different Obama Bush and NN and Biden did way better this administration they tagged the republican party for years to come. I hope you remember that no one in their mind will vote for Republican for years to come. I guarantee that, you let me give you 50 cash OK you don’t got businesses I could hop in and out of this country on a private plane or even take first class you guys are stuck here. Don’t talk to me about shit now because I got currency different countries, bro so when I’m talking to you, I’m talking to you low life concept of a plan. I ain’t talking to the plan. The plan is for the rich. I got money. I qualify for what he’s giving mequalify for what he’s giving me. Your ad administration is giving me I qualify but but what about you guys? Are you guys qualified? Do you guys have businesses? Do you guys have real equity in your businesses? You know most business self for million dollars you know most houses if you put them in transfer them they into like businesses with real substance they can sell for $1 million but do you guys know that no you don’t so when I’m speaking to you guys I hope none of you come back with your little turbo controlling shit because most of you broke you concept truck drivers low level budget you guys are low budget so I hope you guys understand and don’t come back to me with your low yeah yeah Donald Trump baby talk you understand what I just said don’t come back to me with that. I really make money you guys don’t your tax return is below 50,000 you guys gonna be in trouble? Good luck I stand with Canada.

What's this? Grown up politics? who's going to be able to translate so trump understands.\n\nWell done Canada?

Trudeau resigned as prime minister because he was deeply unpopular in Canada. He proceeded to suspend parliament while President Trump threatened these Tariffs and then immediately left to Europe to posture with European leaders. He did absolutely nothing to strengthen the US/Canadian relationship while his party set about appointing (not electing) a new leader. Trudeau is an actor and a hypocrit. Do not believe anything he says. Now I don't agree with President Trump's tariffs on American allies like Canada. I don't understand the metrics he's using to justify them. Maybe there is a real reason, but this fool that you're listening to has not represented Canada faithfully and I reject everything he says.

I totally understand Canada and sadly it is the administration

Fentanyl is just an excuse Trump uses for these tariffs. I just don't understand what his true motivation is. He's sick. He truly is.

The DIVIDED States of America is led by an insane egomaniac with no more than a child's basic understanding of anything. Fools! May you suffer the results of your votes. Shameful. Trust broken!

trump really doesn’t understand economics at any level.\n\nThe first trump administration was a circus… this one is an insane asylum.

American here-\nTHANK YOU for thumbing your nose and telling Trump to stick it!!! I will travel to your country and spend my money happily in your cities. I can’t understand how he was elected

I understand that U.S. needs to balance its books, but that doesn't mean forcing others to pay in an no-one-wins scenario.

I see that we’re all still being naive. Telling Trump that this will hurt Americans is not a deterrent, that is the point. Read Project 2025, again Read Project 2025. That’s all it takes. Understand what its authors’ philosophies are. Think of it this way. We know that Trump is aligned with Putin, so what might Putin like to see for the American people? Success or Failure? That is your answer.

Hopefully americans understand that europe is watching this closely. And we are on Canada's side. \nWe will boycott american products completely, your economy will die fast.

From the moment that US citizens understand that Trump only respect one friend (Putin) \nmaybe, that moment you will start to react

We understand that our administration is out of control. Our Republican senators and representatives do not stand up to this weirdo in the White House. Neither does any cabinet member.\nWe understand that tariffs are DUMB.

The problem is that they have compromised the vote tallying machines. No matter how many votes are for normal candidates, it will subtly change or drop votes so the MAGA candidate will win. Check out Election Truth Alliance (EPA), they have done analysis of Votes from Clark County, NV (they provide granular detail on votes. Other counties, states are being processed now) and have found a lot anomalies that show manipulation. The same manipulation is found in Georgia (the country) and other places where Russia has been meddling. The results always stay under the threshold that would require a recount and audit. The phenomena is called the Russian Tail, you can guess why. It's statistical stuff so it's dry, can be hard to understand, and isn't an easy sexy concept to explain. Educate yourself, be aware that it is a problem that has to be dealt with as the next round of elections come up.

Unfortunately none of the cult maggot members are smart enough to understand that Trump has chosen to hurt his own people

MAGA does not have the IQ to understand what tariffs are.

Shut up… dont talk about things you don’t understand ??there will be more hardeep nijjar???

JT - We fully understand our government is insane. We don't blame you.

99% fentanyl goes for Maga people, i dont understand Trump, what is he trying to do.

Canada...Europe is reliable, lets strengthen our relationship, improve trade agreements and don't worry when you hear VAT, that's a consumer tax....something a orange cannot understand ;)

A great speak from a true leader.\nMy big respect and a true thanks to a leader that speaks so all can understand the serious problems we all are forced in to \nBecause Donald dont know what he is doing

Just understand Americans you voted in a celebrity as your president you all knew he had no background for the job you all have souled your souls you have strayed away from God you all want the easy way out the shortcuts you all thought that voting him in would make everything easier would cut cost on everything but you we're wrong because God himself will not let you eacape your sins no matter how far you try to run no matter who you think you can bring in to get shortcuts God will not allow and its sad because trump wont hurt for this or pay for it no but the hard working Americans the ones who make this country Go not trump or any of his friends and all of those who believe in him and his agenda who will not be in heaven Amen

I told the American but they don't listen this man is a bad luck you will not understand unless it is gone from under your feet

From the US. We understand where you're coming from. Just wish our president could take lessons from you..

CANADA: We side with you. We understand.

SAD DAY IN america when americans have to apologize and say we understand when you inflict our nation with tariffs because it is horrible what our leader has done to our beloved neighbor.

I'd love to think enablers of the current US regime would understand the utter folly of its policies (to dignify them with a label they don't deserve), but I think that's unlikely. If they are religious fanatics, they will martyr themselves to sustain the usurpation of human rights so that their ideologies can remain in place. If they are self-serving oligarchs, they don't care; they've got plenty of money and are poised to make a lot more. If they are clueless, no amount of reason will reach them. The rest of us stand with Canada.

I did not vote for President Trump but I'll wait out the 100 days to reserve judgement. After watching Food Inc. I understand NAFTA (removal of tariffs) had real negatives for those working in US agriculture.

Anyone who ever was a victim of bullying understands exactly what is going on and how it will end for those who wants to appease/bend to the bully. Yes, it will be painful for Canada, extremely. But you have to get really sick in order to recover stronger than ever before. Zelensky knew the inner workings of how bullies work so he probably knew the white house meeting won't end cordially especially it is occupied by people he has no love for and he understood the lack of love was mutual. I think he'd bent over and wagged his tail if he thought that'd help his nation but knowing that will not get his country anywhere anyways, why would he bend over and try to please someone who was determined to screw him and his country to begin with. Zelensky saw how Canadian prime minister was treated and how he tried to please Mr. T yet to no avail. Yes, Zelensky has no real good, readily available cards to play. If the game is rigged, no reason to play by your rule, is there?

From the Netherlands: Bravo Canada. This is the only language Trump understand.

I can't believe it, or I don't understand what is happening.

I don't understand who's in charge there in the higher rangs at the US but don't y'all think MR trump needs to be investigated about Russia ? Is no one thinking about his bussy to betraye his country,,his citizens,,and his friends ( allies) ...or are we in stone time again? Make Amerika great again.\n.wel I can tell u this,,after few months there's not gonna be much Great anymore..the only Great are gonna be the great problems Trump and his dumb heads maded. Promise wait and see. World,,Unite now !!!

I don't understand why there are so many complaints. You can retaliate and do the same.

Wow, an intelligent, thought out speech that you can understand. No name-calling, no hyperbole, no making it about himself. It's like Canada has a grown-up for a president.

This is how casually WWIII will be announced if we continue on this path. America's power comes from its powerful allies. Why can't Trump understand this?

Thank you, CANADA. Trump will understand how much the world hates him and his Russian dictator.

Well, I was really interrupted, but my thing is with. Why does the taxpayers have to continue to keep paying out the government's debt? I don't understand these rich billionaires. Don't want to pay their taxes. And then you guys blamed the middle class and the average payers. It's time that the middle class and average payers start going after the government to change your laws or be able to take these people that don't agree with the people that they paid to take care of the United States to get to my office and put someone that does care about the people in. Our country, that's what my whole thing's about right now and Donald Trump don't care. He wants to become a dictator and keep telling you guys and his followers are doing the same. It's time to go after the Republican office that Donald Trump has put together even with Leona's and take all his contracts away from Leon musk and see where he goes now. Instead of charging Leah, unless the area says he uses about 10 times a amount of rental space to do his work. That's what I gotta say, because that's what you guys are doing to the average worker and middle class to pay your guys's b******* bill.\nAnd that's my opinion like it ornet you fucking thieves

our president is a convicted felon and rapist who has been caught many times scamming people with fake online universities, failed casinos, failed charities...do what you need to do Canada, we understand, our president is insane.

What I don't understand the taxpayers are the ones that are flipping the government's tap. The billionaires are the ones that are causing the deficit to be so high. Why are they claiming the taxpayers to pay it out Donald Trump and his flunkies are the cause of August problem. The republicans just want more money and just because Joe Biden didn't lift up the. Spending costs Donald Trump got mad and now he's taking it out on the United States. People that pay his seat in the office right now.\n We're all working citizens in the United States. I've been flipped a bill that the government has done just to pocket their there. Money and no pay taxes. This is the billionaires that I'm talking about. Because the average workers middle class are the ones that are paying for all this government. And then you guys wanna raise everything because the year guys is doing taxpayers. Continue to keep paying and all you guys wanna do is keep taking their money. Another word's not to let them save money to buy homes. Dubai.

Look, when your government can freeze your bank accounts, and you don't even mention it, it tells me two things. Or you don't understand how screwed the country is, or they pay you to forget it. Embarrassing either way

Nicely done, but you talk too fast. Hard to understand with your accent

Background music is too loud. Hard to understand your speaking
