The only thing I disagree with Prime Minister Trudeau is that the Donald is dumb. Period.

Truth matters! \n\nWithout facts…there is no TRUTH!\nWithout truth there is no TRUST!\nTrump lives in misinformation and chaos. Trump sows fear and misery, we the people of the USA disagree and we the people are not Trump! \n\n\nCanadians are our sister sand brothers from another mother. We are in this together and suffering Trump’s un fathomable policies.\n\nWe all have to stand up. Stand up against this tyrannical regime. \n\nWe the people need to hold fast, stand as one against

As much as I dislike trudy, I can't disagree with anything he said

3:10 this part I 100% disagree with. They didn't sabotage their agenda at all. Their agenda was always to screw over the working and middle class, and give everything to the rich. That's been the Republican agenda for as long as I've been alive (25 years), and it's not changing anytime soon.

Ohioan here. Mr. Trudeau is such a mature, smart, and reasonable man, and straight to the point. I agree with him on everything except for one thing. He called Donald, smart. I’m sorry Mr. Trudeau, but I must disagree. Donald is not smart. In fact, Donald is not fit to hold office. Donald, must be removed from office along with the rest of his clan.

Let's not forget Trudeau froze the bank accounts of those that disagreed with him on COVID

I’m a US citizen and in no way support what Trump is doing. It is asinine. This is all him, the majority of us, disagree. Trump is a buffoon. I’m so embarrassed.

Prime Minister Trudeau as an American I stand with you! Have to disagree with you about trump, he’s has dumb as a rock!!!

Mr. PM trust me when I say most of us do not want this, and did not vote for MR Trump!!! Please remember most of us 1000% disagree and are embarrassed to see what he is doing to our friends.

The only thing I disagree with Trudeau about is that Trump is intelligent. Trump is clearly a fool and a coward. Good luck USA. You are going to need it.

I totally disagree with Justin Trudeau that Trump is a smart man. Trump is mentally unstable, cognitively impaired and incompetent. He is not capable or mentally able to do any type of legal transaction

I stand with Canada's Prime Minister and the other parties that have allied with the PM's office. I disagree with Trump.

I disagree with Trudeau on one thing only. \n\nTrump isn’t smart. He’s an emotion-ridden, retributive adolescent. Sorry to adolescents generally.

Why don’t Canada that over the United State and the president of Canada replace Grifters Donald Trump. One thing I disagree with his messages is Trump isn’t smart. He has Elon Musk running America and he’s signing coloring books.

Sorry but I disagree with Trudeau. The word Smart is never associated with Trump. Only words like stupid, dumb, bully, racist and narcissistic described him.

I disagree about one thing. The part where he said *Rump was smart. It's like calling a hippo in a china shop smart. The hippo is merely just confused and angry and lashes out because it doesn't understand it's surroundings.

I disagree with PM Trudeau on only one point. Trump is NOT a smart man. There is only one way to understand Trump's recent actions. Trump is a Russian asset. Full Stop.

Canada..most in USA disagree with Trump.. we...also note his crazy tilt towards Ivan..I think E U will bring trading into wack with value added tax

I would like to hear tRUMPS rebuttal to Trudeau’s speech. How could he disagree with any of these facts?

Canadians better not disagree, he will freeze your bank accounts...

As an American, I am appalled by Trump’s actions. I, for one, agree that his reasons for imposing tariffs is a lie. I strongly disagree with his blatant disregard for America’s allies. There is NO justification for aligning the US with Putin. If he thinks Putin has our interests in mind, he is crazy! Before it’s too late, I hope that his cabinet, the house, and senate realize that they can no longer support a president who does not support our interests as a country.

Now that’s what a leader should sound like. The only thing I disagree with is when he said Trump is a smart guy.

Bittersweet that we might not have someone as equipped to deal with this trade war soon. overall disagree with trudeau but he’s handled this well

Some friend, constantly short changing us for the protection we provide, while you lock up PE pole for speaking their mind, pursue truckers and anyone else that you disagree with.

Great speech and right move, but I'm sure hospitals, and more specifically anesthesiologists, would strongly disagree with wanting to wipe fentanyl from the face of the earth ?

AGREE,what is this about definitely not the border !Trumps REGIME is trying to weaken Canada so he can Annex us!!!\nThat will never happen most Americans disagree with Trump more than half now after what has happened in the news lately!!\nThank you Mr.Trudeau for an eloquent,intelligent response to Trumps DUMB plan.After decades of good relations between our nations Trump has chosen Putin’s playbook\nCanadians and the world now are BOYCOTTING the once upon a time Ally Our neighbour America!!\nThis will not play out well for Americans Canadians or Mexicans \n??????

DEAR PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU, I AGREE THAT THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT HAS NOT BEEN FAIR TO ITS ALLIEDS AND TRADING PARTNERS AND THAT WE HAVE TO ACT IMMEDIATELY AGAINST THE UNITED STATES. \n\nI HAVE TO SAY, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CANADA OR EUROPE EVER TRUST THE UNITED STATES WITHOUT HAVING SOME CONTINGENCY PLAN, KNOWING THE KIND OF TRAITOROUS MENTALITY AMERICAN GOVERNMENTS HAVE ALWAYS HAD, THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT THEIR POCKETS AND MAKING MONEY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE WEAK AND THE GULLIBLE COMMERCIAL AND POLITICAL PARTNER. \n\nONE THING I DISAGREE....., THAT IS CALLING THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT MURDEROUS, WHEN IN FACT IT WAS NATO AND ITS BRIGHT IDEA OF ANNEXATION OF UKRAINE TO NATO KNOWING THAT THEY WOULD BE BREAKING AGREEMENTS ESTABLISHED DURING THE COLD WAR OF NO PROLIFERATION OF NATO, IN FACT, NATO STARTED BREAKING THAT PACT WHEN IT ANNEXED FINLAND AND ESTONIA. RUSSIA KEPT QUIET, BUT NOW NATO TRIES TO ANNEX UKRAINE, THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW FOR RUSSIA, BESIDES THE BLATAN MISTREATMENT OF RUSSIAN-UKRAINIANS BY THE UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT. \n\nNATO USES DEMOCRACY AS A PUNCH LINE, WHEN WE ALL KNOW THIS IS A DIRTY WAR FUELLED BY ECONOMIC INTERESTS AND GREED!\n\nMR. PRIME MINISTER, DO YOU KNOW WHO THE MURDERER IS?.....IT'S MR. ZELENSKY WHO HAS ANNIHILATED THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF ITS OWN PEOPLE, UKRAINIANS WHO WERE USED AS CANNON FODDER....AND NATO THE INSTIGATORS OF THIS WAR.\n\nTHE WORLD CANNOT BE THAT BLIND TO NOT SEE IT!!!

I disagree with calling trump a very smart guy though.

Yay Canada! That’s the right response. I just wish Trudeau could say Trump and his dictator ship administration and not the Americans because half of us here hate that man and completely disagree with his policies.

I disagree! Donald is not a “very smart guy.” Canada, do not give into America. Don’t let Trump win.-Signed an American.

this is the guy who will freeze your bank account if you disagree with him.

Sadly there are millions of Americans here who are fucking furious and disagree 1000% percent with this ignorant Poseur shit thrower in our white house.... \n\nWe DON'T blame Canada.\n\n#trumpisalyingIdiot

canada exports 75+% of its overall products into the united states, it only imports 50ish% overall products from the united states of america. This is why the tariffs are in place. Agree or disagree, this is why trump is doing what hes doing. Our country is in shambles and we need our allies to pump money into our economy or else it will only get worse in our country. And both canada and mexico are outraged by the simple way trump is approaching this.

As a Canadian, there are lots of issues I disagree on when it comes to our PM, but he bodied this speech.

to all americans: why don't u all go out and protest against trump and this lunacy more? show him and his friends you disagree?

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

Trudeau is being kind. tRump is a stupid, self-centered, vengeful spoiled, immature brat, who wants to punish everyone and anyone who may do as little as disagree with him. He will never apologize or admit he is wrong, but he will be cruel and heartless. We need to shame him and Vance and impeach them and all the MAGAs who support them.

As a Canadian my personal politics may not always be in line with other citizens of the world, however I can respectfully agree to disagree, allowing more dialogue and discussion to continue in order to reach an agreeable compromise to find the best winning formula for all concerned. \nI have watched and listened to many American politicians from John F Kennedy to Joe Bidden, to leaders like Marin Luther King, Malcolm X, Bernie Saunders, all have something in common, respect, decorum, world knowledge, integrity, truth, honesty, honour, and heart. \nStrength is when you are able to reach out to lift someone up not to knock them down. Even the greatest professional boxers know the difference of being humble and kind when there advisory is in trouble. \nFor the first time in the history of your country you have a bully, narcissist and pathological liar, who is vulgar and unpolished as a man, father and as the President of your nation.\nI have seen our own Canadian leaders, make mistakes, stumble and fail, however they displayed grace and admitted to their shortcomings.\nI have never seen a world leader be obsessed with things such as plastic straws, pennies, flushing toilets, Hannibal Lecter, Arnold Palmer's manhood, a leader who's completely obsessed with selling souvenir and bubbles while his citizens are homeless, hungry, jobless, with runaway inflation so that something as simple as a dozen eggs are now a luxury item. \n\nYou have a president who spends millions of dollars so that he can play golf at one of his own properties, meanwhile his country is neglected. \nA brief look at his past record the pandemic under his watchful eye would have you drink bleach as a cure as many died and billionaires increased their combined wealth by trillions of dollars while the middle class and poor suffered. \nThe opioid crisis was settled under his watch which let Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family avoid jail time for committing the death and destruction of millions of lives in America. Yet Donald Trump is obsessed with the drug cartels in other countries yet he overlooks those terrorist in his own country. Is it because they are billionaires and potential cronies of his?\nRather than be completely obsessed with tariffs and creating the next disaster with his Trump Gaza Holocaust Resort, Your leader could be looking at fixing the country's infrastructure of roads, brides, tunnels, ensuring a healthy supply of drinking water, rail, housing for the homeless, affordable health care, affordable education, etc.\n\nDonald Trump is surrounded by his clowns is not just making a mockery of your country but is leading you into a very dark hole. \nThe shame and humiliation that Donald Trump has brought to your country since his inauguration will take years to correct if he is stopped now. If you the American people wait four years, WW Three will be here and it will take centuries to recover. \nTHE FUTURE IS NOW, NOT IN FOUR YEARS. AS AMERICANS YOU MUST BE WILLING TO ENSURE A TOMORROW FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.... UNDER THE CURRENT REGIME YOU ARE HEADED TO A DEAD END.

As an American, all I need to know is that trump and VD vance support Vladimir Shitin and Russia. trump chose to break the trade treaty that HE signed and stated recently that it must have been made by a very STUPID President. I couldn't agree more! And Mr. Trudeau, there is one thing with which we disagree. I think trump is a VERY stupid person!

I have to disagree with Trudeau. Trump is NOT a very smart guy.

Even though we as Americans might disagree with President Trump, we have to stand firm on some things here, the way PM Trudeau came on here and reversed this tariffs on the US after all we done with this is still an attack on us, we have to think broader and wider, I am a 22 year retired Navy vet and seen how these countries treat us and we have been taken advantage of, it’s time we stand firm. I love my Canadian brothers and sisters, but this more a government issue here.

From the USA: Why is it right for Canada to tariff us more than we tariff them? Trump pointed out that there was a 200 billion a year tariff deficit for the USA. Some say that number is inflated and the real number is somewhere around the 70 billion mark in Canada's favor. No one disagrees that the US has a huge tariff deficit with Canada. So, the USA is just leveling the playing field. It's time to truly have level trade with the rest of the world, not just Canada. No more free lunch from the US to the world. We want free and fair trade, but for that to happen we must tariff other countries goods at exactly the same level they tariff our goods.

Damn as an American that disagrees with many Canadian policies. Somehow I stand with Trudeau right now. Economics 101 tariffs are bad for everybody.

I'm no admirer of Trudeau, but this was a great speech. (Can you imagine Donnie making a coherent speech like this? ?) but I disagree with him on one thing: Donnie is NOT a very smart guy. (Although I know why Trudeau felt he had to say that).

I only disagree with 4 words : “ … you are very smart …”

I have to highly disagree with Trudeau, Trump is not a very smart guy.

Trump is just an rude, ignorant idiot. The only thing I disagree with him on is his claim that Trump is “a smart man.” No, he is not!! Apologies from the USA. Millions of us do NOT agree with Trump’s actions. What an embarrassment. No one will benefit from this. Trump is hell bent to align with Putin.

Long live Tumpsky, Putin's a** licking puppet. I stand with Canada. Picking a fight with the greatest neighbor that we could ever hope to have is nuts. Sorry to disagree with PM Trudeau, but Trump is dumb af and this proves it.

Trump is utter garbage. I respectfully disagree with PM Trudeau, Trump is not a smart guy, he is dumb shit.

A Canadian here who can't agree with the disparaging comments about Trudeau. He has done more good than some earlier Prime Ministers. Enjoying the new free dental coverage he just established? I disagree with him here though when he says Canadians don't hold this tariff thing against Americans. WE DO! You're the ones who elected this wrecking ball who destroys everything (and everyone) he touches. I encourage all our Europeans friends to buy Canadian whenever possible.
