TRUMP won't LAST in the WHITE HOUSE! You call him a leader of the free world? What a TRASH!

It's just Trump. One dumb man who, for some dumb reason, speaks and represents a lot of people under the name of the country they live in. Maybe someone will figure out that someone can only make so many bad decisions before they remove that person from making more bad decisions. We have the village idiot in charge of things. Most[people in America like you and other leaders more than the person who is pretending to lead here. He's the fool of fools. You don't have to call him a smart guy just to make him feel good, he just does dumb things all the time. Either way, it's a fun show, I only hope the missiles start to fly and we all destroy ourselves. \n \nHenry Limpet: Doesn't it kind of give you a thrill of hope, George? \nGeorge Stickel: Hope for what, Henry? \nHenry Limpet: With the war in Europe and new weapons being invented all the time, why, well what if men were actually foolish enough to destroy themselves completely? Then, you see, the fish in the ocean would develop into a new race of men and - well, this time they might turn out better, you see? \n \nOne can only hope.

This is what you call a leader.

I wish a foreign leader would call Donald J Trumps second administration exactly what it is. F*CKING CRAZY. We have let one 78 year old man literally single handedly destroy 8 decades of global cooperation and partnerships. My country has invited its own demise, but for the life of me I don't understand why or how we have fallen soo far in just 1 month

That is how a leader of a country speaks to his people. Calm, articulate, no name calling or yelling and no lies. I am an American but I support Canada in this.

One thing about Justin Trudeau. \nHe's an excellent talker but the worst Prime Minister Canada has ever see.\nDon't be fooled by his nice hair and speech. It's because of Trudeau Canadians are not able to afford housing and taxed to our eyeballs. \nBecause of Trudeau, our drug problems are at rising high like we've never seen before.\nHe does nor respect Canadians although he talks the part yet he pulls the emergency act on the Canadian truckers and froze anyone's bank account that donated to protest against him. A man dressed in sheep clothes but a wolf inside that will do anything to make himself rich and first. Meanwhile single moms are suffering because they just can't make ends meet. \nThank God he has been called to resign from his own party. \nWe need a leader that will be intouch with the everyday Canadian worker. It's not Trudeau.\n❤Canada. God Keep Our Land Gloria's and Free.\nYes We Will Stand On Gard For Thee, because Trudeau didn't.

i wonder if trashump supporters'd still side with him and call canada's prm a liar too??\n\nimagine if US has a proper leader like CA's

Brilliant speech by Trudeau?. One of his best speeches ever. A classic. If other leaders called out Trump like this, maybe that would stop him!

Words as a leader! Not the joke called leaders in other countries

More people dislike tradeau than love president trump and that is hard to do it's funny how another leader disrespected America calling our president Donald tradeau take care of our state up there

Man ! so refreshing to have a leader that doesn't get up on the podium and name call or throw tantrums. It feels like what politics is actually supposed to be: Civil and cordial. THANKYOU Trudeau !

I was very disappointed with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. While I have always been pressed by his superior leadership record and skills especially with his spectacular response to the impending tariffs by travelling to UK and Europe and talking about trading with Europe and East Asian countries.\nWhat a disappointment when he called Putin a murderous dictator. Justin, let’s look at the record of your friends in the West. USA has over decades bombed and killed millions of Muslims in Arab countries. Today the murders continue to go one without a peep from you or your western leader friends. In the last week the US has bypassed Congress to ship billions of dollars of bombs to Israel so Israel can with these US bombs cleanse Gaza. So Israel can steal the Palestinian lands so Trump can built a resort and hotels in these stolen Palestinian lands.\nSo what about Ukraine? Same story, different tactic. NATO with your consent poked the Russian bear for decades before Russia, whose warnings about NATO expansion went unheeded. Russia had no choice but to fight a proxy war with Ukraine as US kept on shipping dollars and weapons to Ukraine ‘to weaken Russia’. When you won the election, Justin, I thought that a younger Canadian whose father was one of the most independent thinking leader, that you would take a history lesson and realize that the US foreign policy over decades has been the cause for so much complicity in so many countries around the world. Listen to Jeffrey Sachs and get your thoughts sorted out.\nListen to Ilan Pappe to know how the country you hug and kiss has murdered and stole Palestinian lands for over 7 decades. I have not once heard from you that Israel should be called out.

This is what you called a leader

An intelligent, polite, courteous Canadian leader calling out a vicious, demented, intellectually stunted, illiterate, swindling, lying, draft-dodging, tax-dodging rapist?\nNetflix will have a ball with this screenplay, they've already given me half a million for the sketch.\nMusk will be next under the lawnmower...\nLove etc.,

Pay attention Kids! PM Trudeau is teaching you what a real Leader is like. He firmly stated facts & issues without sounding like a 12yr old punk calling people stupid names!

Someone asked: Why do so-called Christians think Donald Trump is some kind of savior that was appointed by GOD to save us all? Another person answered: Because of the total opposites in your statement. I am a conservative AND a believer. \nAnd that makes it so difficult for me to take Republicans serious. How in the world is it that those who profess to believe in GOD, claim to be Christians - and worship Trump? \nA self-confessed abuser of women (When you are rich, they let you do anything you want to)? \nA rapist. \nA thief (Think: Trump “University”) \nA man without respect for anyone (Think: “nick names.”) \nA liar (Think: My crowd was bigger than any ones) + 34,000 PROVEN lies more \nA hypocrite (The Two Corinthians) \nA cheater (Think: Two pregnant wives, both of whom he cheated) \nAn inciter of violence (Think: Fight like hell) \nIn no way does the man fit any concept of Christian character and yet, those who profess to be Christians think he is GOD-given??? GOD does at times allow evil leaders to be appointed over Nations as part of HIS ETERNAL PLAN in this World before the Creation of this World as in the case Egypt's Evil Pharaoh and Evil King Saul because Israel wanted a King instead of GOD'S Prophets such as Samuel directing them at the time of Israel's request.

Talking about a REAL (world) Leader! My personal message to Mr. Trudeau... 'Why you leave at this critical stage?' We need leaders like you to stand up to this type of Clowns who jerk themselves off for power and dollar-bills. And to the biggest Clown of this (still) free world, I would like to say: Mister Clown... as you say, America First.. Do yourself a favour and built a huge wall around your last and dying power soil.. and make sure this time you pay for it yourself, so you have your isolated soil called USA all for yourself and your regretting voters with your trade traffic. Make America great AND ISOLATED again... and make the US dollar a welcomed item at the toilet around the world!

Stock market crashing under the Dotard, as the NK leader called Donnie boy. You are a loser President! Wall Street has spoken in the first one and a half months of this farce of an administration. Are you trying to match Republican Herbert Hoover’s crash of the stock market of 1929?? Republicans crash economies, yes they sure do. GW Bush crashed it big time in his last few months of his presidency. How bad will the Trump crash be ??? ? hmmm ? Trump attacks allies and cozies up to dictators like Putin.

Trump does not see Putin/Russia as an enemy. Trump is making Russia a USA ally and our allies our enemies. The sooner world leaders and American citizens come to terms with that and start calling it what it is, the sooner something can start to be done about it.

Thank you! This is how a leader should speak and act!!! I am on your side Canada. I am so disgusted with our so called “leader” and government. I, along with many others, did not vote for this despicable idiot called Donald Trump.

Im so glad to see and hear sane leaders speak… unlike otthers so called ones…?

I'm an American. I stand with America... And this is called negotiation, deal with it. Trudeau is a stepped down un popular leader in Canada.

These leaders are ridiculous, they call it War when tariffs are now equal

I'm an American. I stand with America... And this is called negotiation, deal with it. Trudeau is a stepped down in popular leader in Canada. ?

I was never a fan of Trudeau and his governments policies but today I am proud to call him my country's leader.

Even when leaders of other countries speak “harshly” which I think is really just speaking directly, but the leaders I’ve heard in their harsh’s tones, never speak the despicable language that Trump uses with his derogatory, name-calling and vicious, lashing out that he does he never pauses, take a deep breath and can consider the 2% of truth his adversaries are speaking of he simply can’t negotiate or compromise or even listen for God sake. He’s only a few years older than me. We have learned by this age to shut our mouths and listen sometimes, but not him. No, he has not learned that lesson. He has not learned to listen to others and to care for others.

It's sad that Donald Trump, the president of the United States of America need other men to make him look so-called strong! The United States of America is a Latin stock and I want the rest of the world to know that the American people did not vote for this, do not want this, and to be honest with that we do not want Donald Trump in South Africa can take Elon Musk back because we don't want him either, actually emblemas can go f*** himself! We apologize to the Ukraine president, to Mexico president to the Canadian president, and all the leaders that have been allies to the United States of america, I'm speaking on behalf of every sane American care in the United States of America please accept our apologies and don't judge us so harshly because we didn't want this at all?

Trump is playing 4D Chess calling out the world’s dumbest leaders first. Then he will let them bury themselves just like Zelenskyy and this Canadian Wanker.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO PROUD TO BE A CANADIAN!!! Thank God for our AMAZING LEADERS who are standing up TOGETHER for this beautiful and KIND country we call Canada ?? ??????????????

Trudeau calling Trump *smart* after he referred him as *Governor Trudeau* , is an ultimate virtue of a political leader who always remembers that he has the entire nation on his shoulders.

My country I have never been more proud of our leaders than I am today! ?? Civilized, clearly articulated intelligent speach like our fellow Brits, France, Germany ect! \n\n That IS what it looks and sounds like to be a civilized leader of a country! No name calling, gaslighting, intimating, aggressive lies! All truth! All facts! And all the Canadian way! ???????????? ect Unite!!

From USA. What a good speech, TRUDEAU is eloquent, smart, diplomatic, and I'm pleased he called Trump Donald. THAT SPEAKS Volumes here. TRUMP is not my president. I'm sickened to what he is doing, harming Canada and Usa. Trump sickens me. He is not smart. He is not a leader. I'm with CANADA. AND UKRAINE!!

Hey Maga morons! That’s how a nations leader speaks,acts and behaves and those are actual facts not the never ending lies that comes out of bloated Criminal mouth you call a leader.

That is a true leader speaking! Clear, precise, well spoken, without name calling, belittling, and other idiotic, childish behavior.\nYou Canadians can be proud of your leader. A man of integrity and principles. He has everything the orange balloon with a mouth doesn't have!\nThe idiot Trump will have to eat his words and beg you for mercy.\nTime for Mexico to speak up too!

So proud of you speaking the truth\nI hope Canada , Canadian not upset with the people of our country so called America, we ,the people, American, real country loving Americans, love your country, love, peace, love working together, love safe society, love good education, love affordable healthcare, just like yours, love to see happiness and peaceful in the world. \n\nUnfortunately , we have been trusting the wrong leaders for past decades, more and more damage done to our own lives because of the lying, corrupt government, misguided policies, manipulation, incompetence, corruption, corruption, and more corruption.\nThe people whom we elect, are the ones that stealing from us .\n\nUnless the people wake up, we are misguided to no end.\nWe have no one to blame but ourselves.

It's incredibly sad when world leaders have to call out trumps lies on the international stage because our own public is too stupid to realize them

This is how a LEADER speaks. No insults, no lies, no threats or name-calling. He is defending his country. Like America should be doing. Well done Mr. Prime Minister.

Another true leader showing how sick, sad, and pathetic the Republican Party and American so-called 'conservatives' are. Tump is the worst president, maybe the worst national leader in modern history. Thank god other nations have not succumbed to the Putin loving sickness of the Republican Party.

Wow a leader who doesn't ramble, hurl insults, call people names like a 4 year old child, fear monger or lies in every sentence! unlike our incompetent orange draft dodger. Trump is trying to be a strong man however he is so dim-witted he doesn't realize what he's doing to American families in creating chaos and instability in the world. The world who now rightfully is disgusted with America or more precisely Trump. prices are already skyrocketing and programs that have helped our families are being stripped away while Trump and his billionaire buddies are giving themselves the biggest tax break in history. Objectively he and his minions are enemies of the American family

The USA prefers to act & think like a clueless inbred clown at the circus & our leaders tend to reflect that & take advantage of that going back as far as the Reagan era. The majority of Americans revel in their ignorance & malevolence while callings themselves Christians.

We are all living in strange times! The bad guy (Putin) is defended like he’s the good guy and the victim (Zelensky) is criticized like he’s the aggressor. This is so weird and negative like an episode of the Twighlight Zone! I think I can understand how Trump is viewing things. Bill O’Reilly seems to know how Trump thinks. Nevertheless, things are upside down! USA voting at the UN with North Korea and Putin and Belarus and against the EU and UK and NATO alliance nations … against the victim Ukraine? This is unheard of! Yet this is so ironic because Leonid Brezhnev, who was the USSR leader, when Russia invaded the sovereign nation of Afghanistan, and Vladimir Putin was a young KGB agent at that time, working for Brezhnev, is now in his position as leader, and he invaded Brezhnev’s sovereign homeland of Ukraine. Brezhnev must be weeping from hell and regretting his invasion of Afghanistan! Crying from hell, seeing his servant, Putin, in his seat of authority, and invading his homeland like he did to Afghanistan, I’m sure Brezhnev regrets but it’s too late now. He’s burning in hell and he can’t get out of hell! \n\nThe bad deal that Clinton and Yeltson and John Major dealt to Ukraine in the 1990s when they moved all of her nuclear weapons to Russia was like declawing the Ukrainian cat and now the cat can’t defend herself against aggressors because she has no claws to defend herself from aggressive attackers!\n\nCanada and Mexico are our friends not our enemies! China and North Korea still idolize the USSR/CCCP flag and Soviet Union hammer and sickle. Putin is a thug and gangster like Joseph Stalin. Everyone forgot what happened to Alexander Litvinenko except for those like John Bolton. \n\nWe are all living in perilous times! The wrongdoer (Putin) is called good and the victim (Zelensky) is called bad! This is so negatively bizarre and wrong! Isaiah 5:20 warns against this! Putin is not pure evil but he’s definitely not a good guy! He’s a gangster and thug like Al Capone! I think President Trump is walking on a tight rope by trying to make a good deal with Putin. And that tight rope spans from one high rise building to another - the senate and house chambers of the US legislature. The midterms are coming soon and if President Trump loses the house and senate, that tight rope could snap! And all those shock and awe executive orders etc. could come back to haunt him like a boomerang thumping his head.\n\nNever in my wildest imagination would I ever imagine Canadians harboring bad feelings towards the USA! This is 180 degrees opposite of how things were when Ronald Reagan and Brian Mulroney were in the political arena!

Trudeau and other leader angry because someone is finally standing up for the US!!! These so called allies have used and abused the US for too long! It's over thanks to Trump!?????????

Every leader is playing into trumps hands!! People everywhere do not understand narcissistic personality disorder. By every leader, media reports talking about him phoning him pleading with him is all fuel!!!!This also tells his narcissism everyone is under control!! This makes him feel powerful! Society really needs to learn about narcissists. This situation calls for leaders to ignore him do not call him media needs to drop stories!! But society has been so heavily influenced by narcissism it just can’t let go of the profits this whole shit show is going to create. Oh and by the way all these politicians are narcissists as well and now this has threatened their control. And guess who gets to go along for the ride and the chaos they create.

Hard to believe that some people in the world do not want freedom, peace, friends, and happiness, and we let the so called leaders ruin our world that we all have a short time on this beautiful planet. Canada will survive, we will never give up our country. Thank you Mr.Prime Minister for being yourself and truthful and letting the world know. Thank you from all around the globe for your support.

Very disrespectful speach. Calling trump dumb and calling him donald. This pipsqueek leader will harm his own economy. U.S can absorb the impact. Canada will go into recession

Canada leader called trump a clown trump now going invade Canada

Canadian here (NS): Not the biggest Trudeau fan the last couple years.. buuuut he is hands down more a world class leader of his country than trump every could be right now or ever in the future now. What a shitshow. Trudeau REITERATED the wall street journal's words.. dont spin it like trudeau just name called him out of the blue in the hopes to insite something else. Look INWARD (cough*trump*) and fix your shit. Remember these days my american friends.

I admire a leader who can stand up for their people this way! As an American I am saddened and embarrassed over the way or so called leaders have been acting and treating others.

As an European I'm standing behind Canada and Mexico. America has voted a convicted criminal into the WH who always lies and only thinks about what is good for him. This is on the MAGA cult and those who didn't vote. Your so called leader is the biggest terrorist from within

Bravo!?????? I am an American and I stand with Canada. Leaders from other countries around the world should be as strong as your leader Trudeau! This message could not be more clear or direct. And I’m glad Trudeau didn’t call him with president in front of his name. trump doesn’t deserve it. He is a disgrace to America and exactly what America is not about. No one knows how he could get here But it’s a nightmare that we are trying to wake up from. Trump has spread cancer in America and we are fighting for our lives. We are deeply sorry for all the pain we are causing people around the world. This is our fight and we unfortunately are making it everyone’s problem. We need help, so thank you for everything you are doing.
