calling it now. the great trumpression will hit in 6 months. complete with trumphobos. trump camps. and elon charging stations

If anyone thinks trump is a joke and he doesn’t know what he’s doing just look at how desperate Trudeau was calling for you to rise up. Never mentioned his own and the reprocutions this will have on his own ppl. We don’t want a world order. Wake up.

As an American, I have never been so embarrassed by our so-called president. He’s a disgrace. He’s a vile human who should be in prison. Canada, we love you. We’re not all asshats like the infantile Trump.

last time he did it everyone complained but biden kept the tariffs and nobody complained signaling to trump that he was right, the real trick is to call it a trade war then they can both raise taxes on their citizens which is exactly what trudeau just did whilst making it look like he's st george off to fight dragons

Enjoy for some moments Canidian coz this will be ur loss ultimately Under Trump America is doing perfectly well just coz he is against u it don't mean u guys r right U have also done many wrong n the people seems fools rather than calling Trump as Dumb

Friends dont let illegal immigrants carry deadly drugs in to there so called friends home. We dont need friends, like that! We voted for strong leader! And Trump is our President Elect!

He is calling him Donald ... JT doesn't have the stature or the assertiveness to act that way. For one thing, he is still just too young. Mr. Trump is older and very experienced and very knowledgeable and quite insightful. So that makes a difference. Please don't try to overdo your presentation, it does not work.

What do you call when Justin Trudeau sucks up to Gigi ping worst dictator than Putin but all you hear these clowns crying about is Trump trump Trump trump Russia Russia Russia Trump Trump trump Trump trump Russia Russia Russia Trump trump Trump trump Trump trump Russia Russia

Trudeau calling Trump by his first name, Donald.

Yea well trumps is doing the same to south Africa it's called bullying

Trump & his imbecilic red neck supporters are a global disgrace. Look at how America is treating it’s western allies, while in the same breath calling for the lifting of sanctions against Russia. Keep your eye on U.S. inflation figures & the skyrocketing cost of living for the average American person. Wake up people & stop drinking the Trump Kool-aide.

Well said Prime Minister Trudeau, very clear precise without name calling and shouting but this is exactly how intelligent leadership respond. My only correction would be to your statement that trump is a smart man; no sir but I understand the need not to obliterate him.

Canada can use economics and trade to against that dirty policy from sick guy called trump??

Are people _FINALLY_ going to see reality? Trump wants as much discourse as possible. His major plan is to declare a reason for Martial Law, to take complete control of the government/country. As I have said this before, for years, all I received in return is to be called a Russian BOT! Well, guess what? It's going to get much, much worse! And, YES, it's the democrats, also.

He called DONALD, this Prime Minister an intelligent adult by not calling TRUMP which is Donald Father which is a good guy himself and not STUPID, CHILDISH and bow to DICTATOR Putin. Salute You PM Trudeau

We don’t want this maniac president called Trump

POTUS Trump is making irreparable blunders on key geopolitical issues like Ukraine, Gaza, trade wars with friendly trading nations. He is systematically destroying the 80 years old US foreign policy and global standing as a democracy that was instrumental for building trust and confidence on USA at the global stage.\n\nTragically, under the so called MAGA mantra he will destroy not only US economy but also of the global economy with his scandalous and outrageous protectionist trade policies and geopolitical blunders.

Trump is in NO WAY a very smart guy but I guess he had to say that to call him out on being the dumbass that he is afterwards...

Castro calling president Trump Donald. Show some respect! Nice job you did with Covid, dictator. You sound vaccinated.

We (most of the American people) don't want this, either! I call and write to my two Senators and my Congresswoman at least four times a week. I support Canada's reaction to our ridiculous President's actions. I don't think all the Republican leadership supports this, but they are weak and scared of Trump.

Americas adversaries are Trumps allies. Americas allies are Trumps adversaries. That is what I call unAmerican!

Americans take note. \nCanada has a small population. It is a trading nation. Canada does not pretend to other countries that it is a friend while behaving in treacherous ways. Your minions and hypocrites, Vice President James David Vance and Senator Lindsey Graham should also take note. \nCanada and the United States have been trading with each other for over 170 years. Circumstances and proximity made Canada rely on trading with its neighbour, the USA. In 2024, 75.9% of Canada's total exports went to the United States. \nWas it convenience or laziness that made it so, or Canadians’ trust in America being a fair partner? \nPresident Donald J Trump, you have insulted Canadians and the whole United States will harvest the consequences. \nYou had negotiated the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) calling USMCA the best deal, and recently you called your deal the worst deal. \nYou can be the Manchurian Candidate as much as you want. You seek to destroy Canada. Go ahead, do your worst. Keep being manipulated by the Putin and Musk of the world. \nThis is the last time you will use this closeness between Canada and the USA to hurt Canada this way. Does not matter how long it will take, Canada will diversify its trading practice to foolproof itself from future fools like you, elected to the oval office. \nNeighbours, Canadians will remain, there is no way of moving Canada to a different place on this planet’s map. Canada may remain an economic partner, but a close friend, you can forget it. \nThere is a motto on the licence plates of vehicles of Québec (in case you might not know Donald, it is a province of Canada, not part of your fantasy 51st state). Since 1978 the motto says: “Je me souviens”. In English it translates into “I remember”. Canadians will remember what America is doing to them.

Canadians, don't want it, you want that tray war because top your news Trudeau. In Ukraine, we're raping us Canadians. What do carbon tax instead? You should work with Trump and tried to make deals. Didn't you go behind his back and pop your nose? Enter Ukraine and then called Putin. Bad Putin isn't bad. I think who is bad is Trudel. That is a dictator and we know that because his dad was El. Truro. You self are a dictator also, because when you would work with Canadians and leave your news out of Ukraine, then work with Trump. We wouldn't have this, but Trump sees you pop your news into Ukraine. Will your news not belong? That's why Trump? It's punishing us the soul. You stop you gonna poke your nose in Ukraine? You gonna pay for it, are we Canadians? Gonna pay for that.

Follow the money. Tell me Trump is not trying to pull off his biggest grift and that tariffs won’t flow to Trump’s family and friends’ businesses. And I use the term friend loosely as he has zero friends. His so called friends are solely business transactions for him and the number of his friends are dwindling quickly.

Where do I send donations to Canada? I am an envious American...you have a leader, we have a dip$shit. His ONLY error was he called Trump smart...he is the antithesis of smart...aka DUMBA$$.

Trump no Canadian B.S. Americans want results. Call us when you have some!

Hey Canadians, on behalf of the good people in America... I apologize for the ignorance and stupidity of one EMBARRASSING excuse of a leader that is not only sticking it to Americans in every way you can think ... I refuse to call him a president because he is NOT... He is a convicted felon, convicted on 34 felonies. He is a fraudster, a cheater, a LIAR, a thief, and a THUG! He is not a legal president because he cheated to get elected in the first place because he cheated in 2016 by having his Russian friends interfer in our election by smearing, and launching the wikileaks ĺeak that She had emails from her secratary of state days on an unsecured computer at the DNC Hillary Clinton, merely weeks ahead of the 2016 election.\nTrump also incited a seditious insurection in 2020 after losing that election failing his attempted coup to sieze power in an election he LOST! Donald Trump and many of the GOP that ran for thier lives on Jan. 6th 2021 now refer to the insyrection as a peacful gathering of non violent protesters... Trump calls it the best day ever!!! Think about that for a minute! The very first order of business Trump did after his inauguration was to pardon 1500 crimina convicts that either plead guilty or were found guilty of charges like sedition. And insurectionists. Many of them for violent crimes like battery on a police officer. And other charges loke trespassing on a federal building, and theft charges for stealing laptops and all sorts of things.\nDonald Trumps first act was to free all of them with a wave of a pen... he freed police bashers!!! And scum bags like Elmer Rhoads, and leader of the proud boys Enrique Tarrio... and all tge violent punks that tried to overturn a free and fair election!!! I is disgusting! HE a k so pardoned the biggest drug dealer in America that catered to criminals and murderers, the owner and inventer of the silk roads dark web site.\nTrump is a Russian asset, make no mistake about it. And fir the last 40 days or so he set about to burning down all American institutions with the help of his Billionaire campaign donors that agreed to get him elected for MORE MONEY!!! Trump is turningvon our trusted allies all friends, and siding with countries like Russua, North Korea, Iran, Turkey, and other countries that are under the control of string men autocrats, and dictators! He publicly called our friend and ally Vlidomir Zelenskyy a dictator! While at the same time calling Vladimir Putin a genius, and a really smart guy that wants peace he says!\nVladimir Putin is the worlds most cold blooded mass murderer of our lifetime and he is a war criminal that kills mostly civilians, women and children deliberatly!!! He poisons his political opponents and business partners with plutonium and other ways like having them thrown out a high ruse window, or shit from the sky in an airplane!!!\nDonald Trump is a maniac that Ameruca needs to desperately get rid of before he finishes the job of burning down all our institutions and burning our constitution and democracy in order to turn Ameruca into an autocracy...\nSo, Canadians.... we Americans are deeply embarrassed and we apologize for the reckless behavior of one man!! One ignorant man... Donald Trump. There has never been a more shameful and embarrassing time to be an American! Eff Trump!!!

Im from Texas. I have never agreed with the policies of Trump. I'll gladly be on the front lines with Canada.\n\nOur country has not only failed us, but the American people that call themselves American. We have turned into a bigger facist nation than Russia. At least some of them go missing for trying to whistle blow on an international level. Meanwhile, we cry to each other internally as if anyone has the balls to stand up

Trump simply asked to stop the illegals and fentenal coming to our country threw yours!! He asked you and you said you would, the same as mexico. Apparently your operations are not working for one reason or another! HONOR YOUR COMMITMENT! Mr. Trudeau simply call president Trump and discuss the numbers and come up.with a new idea on how to stop this agreed upon situation! Montana Rick.

Trump's so called art of deal is backfiring tremendously and the one who suffers are people like us who are only trying to get by

He should call Trump that he is an Idiot and Stupid for doing this!

As an American I think I’m right to say most of us are on Canadas side. Glad to finally see a great leader like Trudeau call Trump “dumb “!

calling trump 'smart' reflects how dumb trudeau is.....

There is no reason for Trudeau to be even as polite as he was (Trump is, in fact, dumb), considering that Trump continually calls the Prime Minister “Governor Trudeau” as a taunt, meaning that in Trump’s mind, Canada is already a state of the USA, not a sovereign nation.

President Trump called him governor, so why can't he call him Donald ?

Trumps Two Strawberries Short Of A Punnet. A Nut Job. \nWhats Putin got on him??? Call girls in Moscow, the KGB???

Yeah I’m sorry but he calls for Trump to be civil and calls him dumb and calls him Donald? Canada is about to see fun times.

The fact Trump keeps referring to Trudeau as Governor already shows Trumps disregard for Canada…imagine call Trump Governor Trump???!!!

Welcome to the Idiot's War... Word War Idiot... Whatever we call it, Putin has something on Trump... Whatever it is, it's gotta be something that even his legion of devout followers would be ashamed of... What could do that?

If Putin is a murderous dictator (which is correct), what would the other Trump's buddy... the despicable sub-human Netanyahu be called!

Wait is this a dictator talking about a dictator. Must be nice to have a guy like trump to make you look good. Pots calling the kettle black again.

FINALLY SOMEONE HAS THE BALLS TO CALL OUT TRUMP ???????????\nTrump is a wrecking ball !!\nThat Zelenskyy theater he pulled was a huge moral boost to Russian troops and Putins negotiating leverage. Absolute idiot !!

Mélanie barely keeping it together as Trudeau calls Trump by his given name = Priceless!

Wait until Trump sends his troops into Canada. MAGA , musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Putin, and North Korea are right behind him. You used to be a democracy like America was. America was once known as the United States of America. MAGA has forced the world to call that former great country Shitland.

We in the United States are going to enter a recession very soon, all because 51% of voters thought that people using pronouns was a bigger issue than our economy. Trump has been bankrupt 6 times and didn't know that tariffs are paid by consumers. Congratulations, you can now call that transgender person a ' he ' as you lose your job.

Trump should at least wait until the new prime minister of Canada is coming in at any time this what you sow call a man will no longer be part of the Canadian politics he has ruined our country from top to bottom he doesn't deserve any air time what Trump could have waited until the new prime minister was in because I'm sure he would be way more willing to work with Trump and not against Trump

Please keep in mind, that all the issues we have in Canada are because of Trudeau. He's been in power for almost a decade. The widespread drug abuse and crime is because of him being weak on policy and handing out drugs like candy paid by tax payers. More people died from fentanyl in Canada than our soldiers in WWII. That is all on his watch. He is only making these changes because of Trump. What kind of a leader is Trudeau to only become Canada first when a person from outside the country threatens him? He is a horrible leader and a traitor to the Citizens and the Country we call Canada. Regardless of what his speech is, he cannot be trusted with his globalist agenda. He has stepped down (thank goodness!!) and Canada is looking forward to having Pierre Poilievre as our PM.

World leaders calling Trump dumb. Who could've predicted

Justin just called an election. Obviously, Trump and 60% of Canadians don’t like you. Look at what you’ve done to Canada before all this. This guy and Newsom are cut from the same cloth— all talk, incompetent, and corrupt.

The only thing Trudeau got wrong was calling Trump smart, I mean come on, that should have been a doozy!
