This is the kind of speech we should see more often. Not only the speech is well articulated and full of logical flow to understand intent. \nWe should air less of Trump’s speeches. They are a bad influence for kids’ speech learning.

The more people escalate this in the media it brings fear, fear drives actions and many cases like this you are reacting out of emotion instead of logic. Trumps negotiation tactic is working people are trying to flex and appear strong and backing themselves into a corner. Sit down and negotiate.

Why do I feel like Trudeau cares more about my well-being than my own government? Not all of us Americans support Trump. Frankly, I'm terrified of what he's doing. I support your push back, Canada. It only makes sense. I'm glad there are countries out there with safe and logical leaders. Hopefully someday the U.S. can have that again.

This can’t be the leader of a country. He finishes sentences and makes logical sense. Impossible.

10/10 Logically summarized - Trump is wacking friends & appeasing enemies. He wants to resume trade with Russia whilst apparently deteriorating trade with allies such as Canada & Europe.

More Canadians will just move to America! I don’t know what’s more ridiculous; the amount of lies coming from his mouth or posts by brain washed CNN uneducated viewers. Or is it just an altered chain of comments… Not logical to have all ppl thinking the same. This is manipulation of truth.

Rational, logical, and concise leader surrounded by a competent team. Wish we had that in the USA… (Note: I watched this cogent speech. I will not be watching the orange toddler’s clown show tonight.)

Trump has some twisted affinity for Putin and Dictators. When Trump does not get his way, he tantrums and acts out…a very cardinal trait of Trumps personality. There is no logic—he goes on and on about all the lives and dying, then he supports Putin who has 1200 to 1500 Russian youth getting killed daily. \nSLAVA UKRAINI ????

It is so clear that the great nation of Canada beats with a logic based on free enterprise, mutual benefit and at its heart welfare of its citizens, The U,S, like all great empires is dying, come join us in Europe, together we are the real vangaurds of a free world, some fantastic world beating business's, and the biggest market in the world. A bridge is waiting, come walk it.

Trump has disappointed many many Americans with this decision and his opposition to Ukraine—he will regret this, Canada our closest friends and supporting 3 years of Putin sickening terrorist attacks of Ukrainian civilians! I voted for Trump, but he is only ONE branch of our government, a Democracy, not Authoritarian! Our legislators should override Trumps decision, it takes 2/3 approval by our House and Senate and it does not matter what Trump does, he cannot Veto! Trump has some twisted affinity for Putin and Dictators. When Trump does not get his way, he tantrums and acts out…a very cardinal trait of Trumps personality. There is no logic—he goes on and on about all the lives and dying, then he supports Putin who has 1200 to 1500 Russian youth getting killed daily. \nSLAVA UKRAINI ????

Trump is more interested in submitting to the Russians… oh wait, no-according to him, it’s the Ukrainians who should surrender. Classic victim-blaming. Sounds like pure Trump logic.

“Wacking friends not adversaries” ? \nTotally dumb. Defies logic. Zero to do with fentanyl. Megalomaniac dictator.

As an American, its refreshing to see a young, passionate, articulate, charismatic, kind, and logical human being lead a country, rather than the geriatrics and nut caaes we got here.

I can’t in good faith say I side with Canada as a lifelong red blooded American. HOWEVER, I will say I envy Canadians having such a logical clearly spoken leader.

The wildly popular Trudeau versus the not so wildly popular Trump, I think I get this Leftist contrary logic

Very civilised , sensible and logical speech

Only logical reason is that Trump is a Russia agent

Two Brits here, my husband & I wish we had leadership like this at home! So impressed with Trudeau - calm, clear & logical! So disappointed he won't be at the helm for much longer - hope and pray the strong stance will be maintained in the weeks / months to come!

This is idiotic! Trudeau stands and speaks reasonably, clearly, and with logic. What a mess!

We need Trudeau now more than ever. Canada has free medical, free dental for seniors. What a Class act. My grandmother worked for Trudeau senior. To think that Canadians want Mr.P is beyond beyond logic, especially at this time

So, to understand Donald's logic here, in order to reduce the money making on drug gangs, he is increasing costs on normal people ! ?

Is Trump doing this so that in the long term, he can justify an invasion of Greenland? I can't see any other logic to it. If that's his plan, god help him....

The start of his speech was brilliant and shows up this skewered Trump style logic...

I am Italian , so english is not my native language , I was able to understand every words PM Trudeau said, very logicaland rational thinking, at the contrary when mr. Trump speack\n even understanding the words he pronuncies is impossible for me to understand him, no logic or rationality .

So following Trumps Logic, he wants to be like Putin, and get america to embrace that along with Russia. To do so, he is picking firghts with all of america's allies and then using their responsses to demonise them to get USA to embrace Russia, aka, bring down americas walls - so to speak and embrace dictators. So America, we stand up, or find ourselves in the company of dictators and subject to their whims. Again, Trump is selling Russia to us by stabbing our allies in the back demonising their obvious responses. When only 1 man is responsible for this, it's not a democracy

If an American works to take down America, is it not treason? Can someone please explain to me how or if there is some logic that I do not see?

Wow, what a concept, an articulate leader, who is considerate, compassionate, yet firm and logical in his decision processes.

The thing is Trump will start directing sales to Russia. It’s the only logical outcome unless Trump wants to walk back his tariffs. Gonna call it now, he’s gonna lift the trade ban with Russia and direct American goods there.

The truth of American arrogance and ignorance was on full display when it decided that a proven liar and convicted felon was the best person to lead America and represent the values it stands for. Trump voters were quite happy with the prospect of other people and countries suffering, but let's see how they handle their own suffering. It must be very confusing for most Americans to hear a politician speak logically and rationally like this.

You were warned by sane logical people over and over and OVER again but did the majority of you Americans listen to reason? Nope. You decided to screw yourselves and the other nations.

There is no logic, reason or precedent for these tariffs. It’s just on a whim, on a crackpot idea from a man who knows nothing about international economics. It’s folly.

Be serious America, what would you give to have a president like this? talking logic, honesty and truth, without making everything about himself and blaming others. He can speak 2 languages at least and speak in coherent sentences, y'all must be so jealous to have an R-word biggot at the helm instead.\nLet's build that LNG terminal for Europe ASAP and join the EU \n??

what about invading Canada? then it's logical not to have to bother with Canada's opinion

Trump is a Russian agent. There is no other logical explanation for this.

Speaking logic to Trump. Get a response like: “why is your tie green?!”

Bloody reasonable logical speech you rarely hear from US now

It’s most of the world, and sensible Americans who employ common sense and logic vs tRump and his neofascist agenda. In professional wrestling terms, the U.S. has turned “heel,” but the now occupant of the White House, who should’ve never returned, always has been one. I don’t understand his appeal, and why so many Americans have been sucked into his orbit.\nI don’t want this, many tRump voters don’t want this. This’ll adversely affect the world, and will do nothing to reduce the nearly $2 trillion deficit. tRump’s tax cuts for the wealthy, and fElon Musk’s austerity measures will, and already are raising unemployment, and will further increase the divide between the wealthiest and most marginalized among us.\nThe U.S. siding with Russia, the two countries having the biggest nuclear stockpiles, is a threat to the world.\nIf WW3 starts, it won’t be because Zelenskyy won’t act to end a war in which his country was unnecessarily invaded, it’ll be because of Russia’s invasion of it, and the U.S. turning its back on its now former allies.\nThose of us in the states who oppose tRump and his alliance with Putin need to continue to stand up, speak out, and perhaps even do more. We’ve never seen anything like this before. Hate to say it, but this could very well be the beginning of the end of what was once a great nation. I’ll end this with a quote from FDR.\n“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.”

The problem is Trump's doing totally the most unnecessary actions against our country and it's people! What did the American people do to deserve this unnecessary action of tariffs! They're on logic in it at all! I don't see any good reason, just tell the people why! I'm sure Trump doesn't have one if he says he does he's lying!

Lol if this moron cares for Americans he would've secured his border and not let fenthanol enter US and kill thousands of Americans. He would not have put harsh tariff on American goods that hurt American companies.... use logic u idiots instead of listening to this idiot

1/2: Myself and the saner half of the US that read, understood, and voted against Proj 2025 understands why they need to levy retaliatory tariffs especially as a Michigander who's lived less than 4 hours from Canada all her life, who has family in Quebec and Ontario, and is a job-seeking policy professional and international trade nerd who now cannot in good faith seek a job in the federal government. We have been looking and still do look to Canada as a model quite a bit and love Canada and Canadians to pieces. We Michiganders especially in the central and eastern UP and Detroit and Ann Arbor area are friends, coworkers, and family of Canadians. Some are even dual citizens. It is sad that it's come to this. \n\n2/2: I still personally just can't wrap my head around how a trade deal Trump put together himself and called the best (the USMCA in question) is all of a sudden so bad. Logic doesn't work with these types of people... I really want **someone!!** to ask him/ admin officials about the USMCA **to their face** and see what they say because I am so upset by this nonsensical and corrupt administration.

Starting a trade war with our trusted allies is an extremely stupid idea... But does Trump and his associates ever have a good idea?? I am glad Canada is standing up for what is correct!! Hearing Trudeau speak in the language of FACTS, LOGIC, and REASON is SO REFRESHING!!!! Go Trudeau!!!

When is anyone going to end this? Anyone?!!\nThe entire world is suffering under a single delusional narcissist. I don't think there are any serious politicians in the US, on both sides, who would support tariffs if they were not under his thumb. The entire GOP has relinquished responsibility and logic. No democracy can survive with that level of spinelessness.

This is a leader speaking: informed, lucid and logical. If only the US could have such leadership.

Mr. Trudeau, as an American all I can say is we are sorry for the action of our President. The man is a deranged psychopath. No logical discussion of our mutual trade benefits will have any impact on a dysfunctional and insane individual such as our President, a man whose name shall not be spoken.

When trump recommended terrifs everyone cried “oh that will only hurt Americans” but then Canada does it in response and everyone cheers? Like isn’t he by your own logic now screwing Canadians? Which is it people?

This is what a sane logical leader sounds like...please watch this video Trump

I did Every thing I could as a voter to support Kamala Harris and prevent this insanity. I am soooooooooooooo sorry for what tRump is doing- via hyperbole, deceit, conceit and outrageous LIES- to undermine our relationships with our neighbors and allies. Wish us luck. We're gonna need it in the absence of sanity, logic, and decency.

what can you do, he trump all reason, all logic, all cooperation between countries, he trump global peace, he trump safety, he trump what the world has been working on since ww2, he trump humanity, he trump everyone who disagree with him, and he trump the interests of america!

He speaks as a leader! No low blows , just facts and logic, no signs of being emotional.

You all around the world, making the mistake of siding with foolish leaders who's own public do not support them against Donald Trump--when the majority of Americans do--will feal the wrath of every single American, who is sick of being bullied by you. We do not have to pay your bills. We do not have to keep your country safe. Keep running your mouth, CNN and dividing this country and the world with your lies. Everyone knows Zelenskyy was disrespectful to Biden and Trump and Vance--who we owe nothing to. Ukraine is not an ally of ours. Ukraine will never be allowed to NATO. And all of you can enjoy the tariffs. We don't need you we don't model our behavior after you. You'll never be America. You will never understand what it means to be American. You will never come into our Oval Office and disrespect our president, Democrat, or Republican and get away with it. Shame on you for your lies! You know better but you get paid well. This is why your ratings are in the tank and only those lacking any logical critical thinking still watch you.
