Homeland comes first. I salute what is being done by Donald Trump.

Get to know the facts b4 you criticize the President. Did you listen to the whole thing. He agreed to sign the deal then when to the presser in the oval office and rejected it after talking to the democrats 2 hrs b4 the meeting. What can you expect from a comedian turned president who stops elections becuz there is a war going on. Now thats a dictator. Zellenski takes 80 billion in usa aid and after 3 years has no intention of ending the war. He lost 25 percent of his urkanin people so far. The usa was backing that comedian and never once said thank you. Zellenski sabotaged the meeting not Trump. Learn your facts b4 you criticized the President. I know trump is evil be uz hes a republican. All democrats are good . This isnt the democratic party I was born and raised on. Obama 5 wars. Biden 4 wars . President Donald J TRUMP 0000000 wars. Learn your facts. Stop hating . Such ignorant uneducated disrespectfully people who get their news from msnbc and cnn. People who dont follow main steam media are uniformed . People who follow msnbc are misinformed. The dems are the cult. Country people are not kkk beer drinking racist. Their values are GOD FAMILY COUNTRY.

Donald Trump is a traitor to God and Country.

As a Trump supporter and a Trudeau detractor, it is becoming more obvious to me that this threat of tariffs has become Trumps way of bullying Canadians into becoming the 51st state. I also believe at the same time, Trudeau has finally grown a set of balls because he is on his way out. That being said, my respect for “Donald” is falling off. I have not lost respect for the American people but I have for current American policies…

If any good has come from the election of Donald Trump, is the fact that everybody is waking up, realizing we should get stronger and more united, becuase the US is not a trustworthy ally

Well, Trudeau is wrong about a couple of things: first, Fentanyl for medical use is a good medication (e.g. in emergency rooms). and second, Donald Trump is NOT A SMART guy. He is an idiot. Otherwise Trudeau is spot on. Can the US have him and get rid of Tronald Dump?

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for standing up to Donald Trump

Trudeau needs to cut all lithium to the States, that will hurt his puppet Musk. This isn’t what Trudeau or the world wants, but this is Donald Trump that has no reasoning.\nI live in the Uk and have respect for the Canadian prime minister.

The sooner we Americans accept that Donald Trump is essentially batshit crazy and proceed to impeach the Orange Menace, the better off everyone in the world will be. Except of course, Russia. The more pressure great democracies as Canada exert upon Trump internationally, the more the U.S. economy (and Americans ourselves) will suffer. The more we Americans suffer, the more pressure will be exerted upon Trump domestically, and the more the U.S. Congress will bilaterally be pressured to impeach Trump. A lot of Canadians might not agree with me, but the Prime Minister is among the greatest democratic leaders of our time in contrast with the USA's new dictator-in-waiting. May God bless Canada and may God deliver the United States.

Good ? ? we all have to suffer, but stand up Canada. Do not walk away from this coward, Donald Trump.

Russians are in the OVAL OFFICE!!! Donald Trump is a traitor and a KBG Plant!! He was recruited by his first wife a KBG agent who was brought to the US in 1978. as part of a plot to break in to the NYC real estate market!!! The idea was to find a way to launder the increasing profits from Moscows drug and gambling operations!!! He has worked with the Russians for many years and is a personal friend of Putins!!! Russia has control of the US GOVERNMENT AND THEY ARE BUSY DESTROYING THE US ECONOMY AND DEMOCRACY!!! You might as well put Putin in charge!!! Hopefully they will arrest and IMPEACH Trump and his government, before it's too late to do anything!!!

Every American that I've met , have been proud , polite and friendly. So who are the Americans that Donald Trump represents. Decency and common sense can't be bought.??

I applaud our Prime Minister for holding his ground amidst internal turmoils. It only takes a lost, uninformed person and misguided (?) person like Donald Trump, to sabotage the special relations between Canada and the U.S. \nMr. Trudeau, your eloquent speech depicts your patriotism and passion. And yes, these are the wise words of a a mature person who is firing up the patriotism as he leaves the office. Respect !Mr. Trudeau?

As a senior American, I am with Canada and what they are doing. We have a singular problem, Donald Trump. The secondary problem is Republicans \nHave no spine. We all pay for this idiot in our White House.

Donald trumpsky and comrade Vancsky are detirmed to destroy allies in favour of cosying up to Putin because Russia has something on trump that will come out and shock the world

From Ireland Well done we need all our leaders world wide to stand up to donald trump .\nI wish Canada well .

Make no mistake, Canada faces an existential threat in Trump. Trump has accomplished the normalization of lies such that he can lie about Canada to justify what he does. And many millions in the USA believe him. just like the victim blaming of Ukraine. Trudeau is right that Trump is intent on weakening us and i would add: along the way creating false pretext for coming in and “saving” us from our tyrannical and dangerous government. validating Russian behaviour where might makes right is part of the process for validating his expansionist goals. He will no doubt claim “nasty” Canadian behaviour like “Canadians are killing Americans by not doing enough on fentanyl” and that Trudeau calling him Donald is “unforgivable”. And all the lies will appeal to his base and justify Annexation. It has come to that

Say what you want about Donald Trump, at least he’s never seized/frozen American citizens bank accounts for going on strike. Can’t say the same for socialist dictator Trudeau. ?‍♂️

As an American I Understand and Respect your Decisions. You must Protect your Country and its People. At this time this Administration under America's Care. Cannot be Trusted! It has been laid bare for the Whole World to See? Donald Trump is in some way Beholding to Putin. Why else would He Cowar to a War Criminal over Working with Friends in Democracy ? It appears that this Administration under Donald Trump is working with and siding with a War Criminal with Criminal Intentions to Divide up The Spoils of the World after they do Everything to Destroy it.\nStand Strong Canada You are The Better of The World. Stand up for Right ,for Truths and for Democracy. We are all Depending on You now.\n??❤️

President Donald Trump is listening to worried about Putin, he is listening for worry of the Russian people! ? HUMANITY

Protect from ALL enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC! Donald Trump is an enemy! I stand with Canada

Powerful speech by Trudeau! He did not mince words and addressed head-on calling out Trump! He called him Donald, not President Trump, no sugar-coating! This is a hallmark of a true and STRONG leader!

Trump's Speech: All He Heard Was Donald Is A Smart Guy

Prime Minister Trudeau, you are wrong about 1 thing. donald trump is not smart. he is a TOTAL dumbass! You were probably trying to compliment him since he only responds well to those who kiss his feet, but don't do it. We Americans know what he is, know this is ALL his doing and think Canada is great!

Donald Trump is a pathological, malevolent narcissist. That's all there is to him. He has successfully gaslighted the USA and has fanbases around the world. Flying monkeys around the globe feel empowered by just waving his flag. This will become much, much worse. May god be with us.

Not the United States, Donald Trump we don’t want it

This is not America, one man only Donald Trump. \nHe Turned on the same people who put him in power. And he's paving the way to be like Putin.

I never voted for Trudeau, but it is hard not to admire him after this speech. He makes Trump look just like he is.. an old, ugly, out-of-shape, and very, very stupid fool. The last thing Canada needs right now are bootlicking Conservatives like Pierre Poilievre. And on a final note.. Trudeau was wrong, Donald is NOT a smart man. He is an utter imbecile.

Thos is a true leader who says it as it is and tells trump and all Americans exactly how it is. Dummy donald is the stupidest most useless moronic leader America has ever had. Wake up America.

The people of the World need to get this crazy man aka Donald Trump out of office & into a Padded cell.

Two mistakes Justin, you trusted Donald Trump would to do what he promised, and you thought he was smart.

Trumps administration has decided to Put the American people first the ones who where FORCED to work there asses off week on and on just to get the crap end of the check all cause this country and that country wanna fight and NOW THE US HAS THERE TRUE LEADER BACK AND SAYS NO MORE. YALL wanna find shit to complain about kiss my grits. USA USA USA USA ?? ? THANK YOU TRUMP GOD BLESS AMERICA AND DONALD J TRUMP. That’s my president!!! ?

Donald Trump has managed rehabilitate Justin Trudeau's reputation and give the Liberal Party a good fighting chance in the national election coming later this year. He's also managed to elevate his arch enemy Chrystia Freeland.

Germany here: Donald,,, how would your Citizen like 100% tariffs on German - European Cars ? Porsche Mercedes Audi BMW Ferrari Lamborghini RR Bentley and so on and so on .... I guess they will love it :D we could give this tariff money to UA and they will recover. DJ Trump thinks he is Batman, but he is just a dumb version of the Joker. America will go back to wild wild west and citizen which im very sorry for will not like this i guess. \nJT is right, this actually is a very dumb thing to do :D hahaha

Did you see the clip with Keir Starmer and Donald Trump in the Oval Office Starmer gives Trump a letter from King Charles Trump opens it supposedly reading it then shows it to the camera and then requests Starmer to read a section. What the hell why didn't Trump read it himself what reading is beneath him. The question here is can Donald Trump read I think not this is why he has never read any history books which leads me to my next question. How can an illierate man become the President of the United States? Mind boggling and this is why he dances at Maralago he is saying to himself I can't read and these fools made me President!!!

Donald Trump has destabilized in a month the free world more than Putin and China in recent decades??

Trump needs to jail prison this idiot stupid idiot Donald Trump is not smart person he’s a asshole

The United States did not start a trade war. Donald Trump started it. Millions of Americans do not believe that tariffs or economic sanctions are necessary or a good idea. On behalf of all decent Americans who believe that our government is in the wrong, we apologize for our president’s behavior.

THIS WON'T GO AWAY UNTIL DONALD TRUMP GOES AWAY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER PLEASE THE RICH IN CANADA PLEASE HELP SPEND YOU CANT TAKE IT WITH YOU

As a Canadian by birth and an American citizen and US veteran by choice I detest Donald Trump. Trump is cancer that has metastasized to the whole Republican Party. General Milley was right when he said that Trump is the most dangerous person in America and by extension, the whole world. I stand with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine.

Can't make our case any better than that Justin Trudeau! Well done! Trump and his minions are ruining America's status as being the leader of the free world. Most American citizens want their country back to the way it was ... leader of the free world. Donald Trump has to be stopped!

Also awfully funny how y'all were perfectly ignorant when Joe Biden was increasing the tariffs against everywhere else when Donald Trump left the last time he didn't remove them he added on to them and increased them and y'all didn't say anything about it then. You'll act like this is the first time anybody's ever heard of tariffs and yet Canada already had it against us we already had it against them just like every other country. Tariffs are just a fancy government word for interest and as long as those interests are aligned and in favor for Democrats tariffs are okay but when they're not all of a sudden they're not okay again.

As an American, I can tell you that we all don't agree with our new President! We love our country and our allies! Donald is tearing things up down here. People were so afraid of electing a woman President, that Donald Trump got elected after it was already proven that he is a womanizer and a criminal. Don't hate on the American people. We are all kind of in shock about all that he's doing down here! ??

Also Justin Trudeau didn’t think Donald Trump was smart he said he agreed with the whichever newspaper it was Washington Post I think that even though Donald Trump is a smart guy this was a dumb thing. I don’t think he really agreed with the part about Donald Trump being a smart guy. But he definitely agrees with this being a dumb thing. He just had to say thatto stroke Cheetos ego

Canadians, I am with you. Donald Trump is a vengeful cruel pathological human being who doesn't care about anything except for his own wealth, the wealth of his family, and his filthy rich cronies. He has no intention of helping Americans with their day to day expenses. I apologize on behalf of our country. I did not vote for this man/child. Kudos to Trudeau for standing up to him. ???

Donald Trump claims to be a Christian but what he is doing to other countries and his own country by firing people from government jobs is totally against God God gives life he don't take it and he would never have sent people to the streets just because some politicians created a job for the people this is going to cause people to lose their homes vehicles and their livelihood it is totally evil. And then placing these tariffs on other countries is no less than say I want your country he wants Canada he wants Panama, he wants Ukraine's lithium. And he wants to take it all and he is wrong in that because he is affecting people's lives and God Almighty will not put up with Donald Trump giving into the spoiled brat Elon Musk and his dictatorship attitude. Both Elan and Trump have no heart for the poor or the hardship they have placed on these people but God Almighty has a heart for the people who have lost their jobs and their livelihood because of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. In the book of Isaiah God said to the people that were coming against Israel, you have pissed on a wall. And everybody knows that when you piss on a wall it's going to come back on you and that's exactly what's happened. They didn't do it to the people that lost their jobs they did it to God Almighty who loves all people and wants them to have their wages. Maybe Elon Musk knows everything about technology and space craft, but the man ain't got a lick a common sense he has exactly zero wisdom when making decisions. But his greatest lack as he has no heart for the people who are going to be disrupted by losing their jobs he doesn't feel a thing he has no heart he needs to read the Bible because that's where your heart gets developed and you know right from wrong. And you know what God approves of and what he doesn't, and I'm telling you right now God Almighty does not approve of what Donald Trump and Elon Musk are doing. I voted for him, and now I am ashamed that I voted for him because he never mentioned he was going to do all this horrible horror to the very American people that voted for him. Now I pray for God's divine intervention because what he's doing to the American people and to other countries is not right

Trudeau spoke the truth — except when he said Donald Trump is a smart man.\nDonald Trump is one of the dumbest people on earth. He only benefitted from being elected by even dumber people.

Donald Trumps only success EVER was playing a TV boss on the Apprentice. He literally claimed bankruptcy in all his personal businesses.\nWhat could go wrong? Somehow 70 million feeble minded Americans fell for this con-man.

It's too bad that Trudeau's Government did so little about fentanyl, also about our poorly-controlled border and destructive immigration non-policies for so long. Hence, driving Trump's scorched-earth policy (The Tariffs). That said, it blows me away that Trump was so vociferous about the Lawfare that was lined up against him in 2023-24, but he doesn't see that excess use of the power of the State is wrong and immoral in this Canadian and Mexican case. Trump only knows the right of might. Threats, coercion, bullying. He doesn't otherwise distinguish between right and wrong; only about what is good for him and his ego. The Tariffs will drive very bad business outcomes in the US. Including, inflation, and lost jobs. The Stock Markets are already tanking. At this particular stage, his ego will not allow him to back off, that's my prediction. Much pain for all Americans (and obviously for Canadians) will first have to ensue. Canada must receive its spanking, and Donald will have to save face. Ultimately, he'll invent some dishonest pretense to put the genie in the bottle, while the economic damage to all sides will be severe. But ... Why would he care?
