Americans would not get great again, they only will be alone. And please take control of gun and health care system!

We are already in a recession our purchasing power is greatly reduced if you think the average American hasn’t been hurting since 2008 then you aren’t paying attention

so great to hear a head of state (ok.. kinda) from the North American continent who is able to speak in full sentences.

Someone make America great again by saving Americans from Trump!!!

I never voted for that dangerous man but feel ashamed as an American for this betrayal against our nicest and closest allies. The Canadians must be very proud of their great, smart and brave leader, Mr Trudeau

Great speech, eloquently speaking with facts. I stand with the Canadian people and the true Americans. Love from Portugal

Trump is the king of the deplorables. Americans, remember what you country stands for, stands up to, do NOT let trump destroy your great heritage!!, act now!

A lot of we Americans are so sorry and sad. I love you, Canada ??You are what a great country looks like❤

Great response Canada. Much love from the Netherlands & Europe. Lets boycot American together and forever.

In the long run America will be 10 times stronger in every aspect as long as we don’t complain about the short term cost. Yes poor and rich alike. Have faith in trump he is a great man for America. Let’s stick it out till America makes everything we Americans need to prosper??

Your General said this is isolating Canada. No it isn't. The UK, Europe and Asia are very open to trade. Indeed many have existing deals which can only grow.\n\nI hear that there are a great many frustrated Americans. Americans who don't want this trade war. Unfortunately Your commander in chief is Your voice on the World stage. His choices are effectively Your choices. HE represents your country. It's him we have to deal with, or not, as the case may be.\n\nUntil you can wrestle the House, the Senate and ultimately the Oval, off these walking-disasters The US with edge closer and closer to being a Paraiah state.\n\nGood luck with that. You're going to need it. The World is already making alternative plans wrt defence, trade and political ideology. All without the US... think about that....

Embarrassing to be an American! There is nothing great here. I stand with Canada ??

The insane megalomania driven felon as a self made serial lying King and insane draft dodging cowardly tyrant is orchestrating a criminal coup in Washington with his insane butt licking heritage 2025 ignorant human monsters as hand selected men defending his vices. Donald Trump and his criminal Vice President screamed, and bullied and demanded the complete acknowledgment of their greatness wanting peace accusing president Zelensky of starting world war III like high school imbeciles and bullies calling themselves diplomatic. \n\n\nThe truth is you and your criminal activities on the world stage and supporting genocide and American and Russian plunder, from an insane felon and felonious dishonest vice president in Washington orchestrating a coup and voting in the United Nations with Russia and North Korea are the most insane leaders in the Western world bring the world closer to world war III. You insane coup attempting cowards spouting Russian propaganda are certifiably insane MAGA criminals, \n\n\nIT is you morons destroying your own nation with an insane unstable dangerous serial lying not sane King.orchestrating a Texas Chainsaw massacre of workers lives. Orchestrating an insane heartless federal purge. A purge that has nothing to do with merit or their quality of work. You insane egregiously hate flled monsters, must wake up in the morning like insane mental patients, wondering how many lives you can destroy today tomorrow and in the future? You are the heartless insane sub human swamp monsters, not the workers.and it is you marching to world war III not president Zelensky.

Hello from Germany We have very good political programs on television here. “Markus Lanz” is currently running. I believe that German citizens are much better informed about the domestic political situation than American citizens. And what is happening in America should be deeply concerning to the American people. In our assessment, the American administration under Trump, Vance and Musk is transforming the USA into an authoritarian state run by American oligarchs in which there is no democracy, freedom of speech or freedom of expression, information controlled by the state, fake news, etc. America is in great danger domestically.

American here, Great Job Canada! We despise Trump and all he stands for. So do what you gotta do, we understand.

A message to Trudeau. Put an export tax on the Oil and Electricity sold to the United States. Open up new European Markets for Oil and Natural Gas product and sell directly to Europe and Japanese markets. China needs oil, there is plenty of market around the world for our products. The Tariff's imposed by Trump is only going to make product to the US more expensive for their own citizens, and with Tariff's on all American imports, if they can't make it, or they don't have the raw materials to make it themselves, they will have to pay more. It is not necessary to impose Tariff's on USA Products to penalize Canadians, but Canadians will find new markets to replace the US, and we won't even notice it happened. We have alternatives. The southern islands are great vacation locations, and with the weather disasters they have suffered over the past few years, they could use the tourist support to help rebuild, and, their people are friendly and don't carry guns.

Great speech. Glad someone is standing up to the orange felon, because far too many Americans are too ready to believe his BS and kiss his A$$

Not all Americans are with this bull crop. I am tired of this already. This is making America great again? SMH..

Trump is the great shame of America. As an American citizen I stand with Canada

Trump is a bully. How does this Make America Great Again? As Americans, we are the ones suffering.

The significance that PM Trudeau addressed him as Donald go over so many heads. It is greatly appreciated that the PM also acknowledged that Americans will be hurt by this as well, especially those of us who didn’t vote for Trump.

This is how America become Great Again? or the start of American Destruction? Trump or Trap? Im from the ??many here regrets for voting Duterte im sure you too….Peace People❤❤❤

An American here. What a great speech by your prime minister! We love Canadians. You folks are the best. And this will pass too!

From all the bullying that this man gets from Canadian citizens and American leaders, I love how he handles things very professionally. He’s got exceptional self control and never lost his temper. Always showing humbleness. A great example of a true Canadian.

Sorry as a American this is our life's at risk .keep your proud stance.proud stance for Canada.We are in tears losing our great country to criminals God Bless Canada we our scared stressed for our social security, health care and our anger at the thugs taking away our relationship our fear to keep breathing and enjoy our past relationships Thankyou for your love to all people God is good God help us !????????

Measure Trudeau’s words against Trump’s words when he delivers his speech to Congress this evening. While Trudeau presents facts, Trump will present misinformation and lie about how his policies and tariffs are great, best ever. Truth is, he has no plan for the average American, no plan for Ukraine security or peace, no realistic plan for Gaza, no compassion for Americans who are losing their jobs and benefits.

Crazy to see how relations have broken down between our two countries and sad for all my great American friends and thanks for your support but anyone with half a mind could see this coming. So many Americans, even republican voters, now waking up to the cold reality of a treasonous, mad president allied to a Russian mad man, isolating the US from the rest of the world. He was basically elected to repaire the economy. Ha! Nice going you orange freak. The stock market is crashing like a Trump casino. You bankrupt two casinos and now you are doing the same to America. Oh! and I hope you're listening to Trudeau's speech, this is what a real leader sounds like. CANADA STRONG AND FREE!!!

I don't like Trudeau, but this speech was great. Intelligent when he needed to be, simple when addressing Trump. A strong start to this trade war which as he said, we don't want. I hope along with Ford we hit America where it hurts. Maybe when their groceries skyrocket in price and their trucks are gone they'll really see where their votes went.\n\nI personally can attest I'm no longer buying DOOM: The Dark Ages, or games on Steam for that matter. I cancelled an order I had from Amazon, and I used to buy Reaper Miniatures, which I will no longer be doing. I'm not going to A&W, or any fast-food chain, or restaurant owned by Americans.

American from New Mexico .... you are so very reasonable,,,, most Americans don't want this and we understand that you have to take the position you have taken ... many of us are already sick and tired of the bully and his chum in the White House ... stay strong and do what you have to for your people ... great respect for you ... J'ai plusieurs cousins dans Quebec et je sais que ceci n'est pas bon pour eux aussi .... nous ne sommes pas vos enemis ... ils habite la Maison Blanche ...Courage it bonne chance

Great speak Trudeau and I as an American support Canada not the Putin loving, disgraceful Trump.

Can't Americans impeach Trump as not fit to lead? Because a lot of his decisions lately is not making making America great again. He destroying it from the inside and not supporting Ukraine for their freedom, making Ukraine great again and for their independence as country. Makes the decision very un-American. Don't get me wrong, I like the American people, but Donald Trump has got to go...?

And this is how great Trumps America looks like…… right? MAGA? I am ashamed to be an American citizen, we stood for democracy, freedom, American dream and now what? Thank you 77 million, who voted for convicted felon, with 6 bankruptcies, who SA women. Bravo! ?

As an American, I am totally appalled that Donald Trump is our elected president putting himself & his selfish agenda ahead of the American people. Allowing people like Elon Musk, who is not a government employee to run amok in this country doing what he pleases when he pleases under the guise of ridding our country of wasteful spending, without any type of oversight. I am appalled at the GOP that refuses to stand up to Trump for the people they swore an oath to serve faithfully because they are so afraid of what Trump will do to them if they don't bow down and do his bidding. Shame on every doggone one of you for putting yourselves first before our great country. I am appalled of all of the people who voted for Trump, you are all going to find out. This isn't some tv reality show, and we all deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Choosing to turn your back on our friends and ally's isn't going to go well and the American people are going to suffer because of it.

I am a naturalized American citizen and a veteran. NO to a Russian dictator. I am with Canada, our neighbors, friends and partners. I will fight for you without hesitation. I stand with Ukraine and their fight against the Russian invaders.\nI never voted for Trump and I am sick, horrified and ashamed of this current administration. Stay strong and thank you to Mr. Trudeau for this great lesson in statemanship.

You rock PM Trudeau! Keep up the great work and keep up the pressure. From an American to a Canadian! Let's hope all the other countries keep the pressure on until the orange turd is ousted!

Great way to put it, is not you American bros and sis, is your insane government. Finally I feel I have a serious PM representative!

Great Job by Justin T., KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB, AMERICANS-LOVE CANADIANS! It’s just Trump the fat ass that’s causing problems!

I'm an American & his speech almost made me cry. He's such a great leader & Canadians are our great role models. I love you guys & I will protest my government.

From Germany, great respect for Canada and Mr. Trudeau who delivered a moving speech. Also a shout out to all our American friends who do not fall for Mr. Trump's lies and his bulldozer politics. I truly hope we all come out of these trying times alive and well, both sides of the Atlantic and beyond. The only chance we have is to stand together.

As an American, I have great respect for Canada and its response to Orange Jesus' stupidity.

wow great speech. Addressing American people, Donald, and Canadians. We are embarrassed what trump has done to our allies. Glad Canada is standing up to trump. This is not about the drug fight. This is about cutting taxes for the rich and now he has to make up for the deficits. A lot of people lost their jobs in the government and now tariffs. Trump and Vance need to be removed. Canada, Europe, NATO, UN, CIA please please do something, you are our last hope

You really really have no idea what your doing when you've pissed off Canada , for the love of God if there is any real Americans left stand up and say no to this reality show that exsits in the mad man's head.\nHundreds of years to become a great country ....one man and his dog is breaking it apart in a matter of weeks. Running a country is not the same as a business , it will be the greatest error ever in mankind.

Many Americans fled to Canada when Donald took office. They made a great choice.

I support Canada ? Sometimes you have to lose to win!! The Trump administration is about to fall!!! PRIDE GOETH BEFORE THE FALL AND GREAT WILL BE THAT FALL!!! HOLD ON FELLOW AMERICANS BECAUSE ITS REAL RIGHT NOW!!! LION OF JUDAH ??????

Great speech from Trudeau, he is on his way out as prime minister and has been unpopular but no doubt he has had his finest moments lately. I wish Canada and a number of US states and sane US citizens could form their own nation or even a union at least. We'd be better off, anything is better than now. Americans will get hit hard by this too, so dumb. Trump is a fascist and brainwashed a cult called MAGA.

Dude Its a shame you stepped down. Because you are one Awesome leader. I would rather be #Canadian Right now Than an American. I have found that being an American is not what I hoped it might be. I have been to Canada. Its a wonderful Beautiful nation and its people are some of the coolest in the world. I live so Close to Canada I am sorry We are doing this to you. and the Great Canadian's. I am incensed and angry right now. I want to just leave and defect to another country. I can not Stand the Hideous evil Man Trump And his lackey sidekicks Musk and VD Vance. They are destroying this great nation. Why the military has not stepped in here. Only shows its Cowardice and weakness to follow its own oaths to the nation and its people. Trumps first term was a nightmare. This Term is horrifying. And its killing people. Soon there will be Farms/Camps. Then worse things will come. In Advance There are those of us who are sorry now. Many of us do not have the ability to stop this. and we really really want too.

I want to move to Canada now. As an American I have never seen anything so stupid than what our president did. I am 1/2 Canadian and shock at what is happening to our friends up north. This was a great speech and I am very impressed with what they will do to help their fellow citizens.

I am American and as an independent i truly apologize ,and im ashamed in out elected leader and the incapable cabinet . i did not vote for him and i hope we can get control of our house again from this nuthouse i wish u well and hope that we can all get through this together instead of allowing him to continue to decide. And also i want to give Justin Trudeau the credit of a great speech. Its a breath of fresh air. I stand with everyone whos on the side of right and just peaceful interactions.

Wall Street is wrong. Trump is NOT smart.\n\nThis is what a real world leader looks like, what a REAL man looks like.\n\nTrump is putting the screws to the American people. He’s grab America by the pussy.\n\nIt’s disgusting. Turning us into an “AntiAmerca”does NOT make America great

I am American and I am standing with President Trump. We will make America Great again First, then Canada and rest.
