I wonder if this was the same type of speech he gave when he seized the bank accounts of those farmers and workers that had a peaceful protest, remember that. Look at him trying to pander to the uneducated, brainwashed, CNN junkies. When they give the super long explanation about this and that and little more of this and a little more of that, means they are desperate and reaching. Its funny I read some of the comments from so called American Veterans stating that they stand with this or that, but not your own country...Think about that. I am also retired military.

Putin is hoping the US loses all its allies. I’m surprised Trump doesn’t just call it the gulf of Russia.

The close relationship between the US and Canada has ended. We have to do more than stop buying alcohol, much much more. This was never about fentenal Trump just wants to take over our country. He wants to be another Putin and yes he called him Donald, just like Trump called him in a demeaning way as Justin or Governor Trudeau. Payback is a bitch

Trump only heard one thing. “He called me dumb”

Can he be our President??? How can every other countries leadership literally call this new admin a joke, but we have people in our government who are supposed to be “smart” I say that sarcastically, support this madness. We in for some rough seas ahead and I’m a positive person!!

Everyone calls Donald Trump, Donald because he deserves no respect because he isn't respectful himself.

Of course Trumps been played by Putin,is Putin calling in Trumps loans

Dear Americans, this man you call intelligent, is stepping down due to how much suffering he has caused this country, and no I’m not a right wing trump jock rider; I believe trump is a fascist, which is very clear by his expansionist ambitions, and his attempt at forcing my country into submission

How you calling him a friend and being condescending at the same time. \nThen addressing us citizens like we are his school students \n\nF u dude

Trump did this because Melania called Trudeau cute. Damn Donald c’mon man ?

Putin's dream: Destabilize the close relationship of the US. border countries. What better first step to weaken their enemy? Putin is so much smarter than DJT. BTW, he called him Donald as speaking to an equal. Treudeau and Trump are equals.

Trump wants peace between Russia and Ukraine and Trudeau calls him a fan of Putin. ? Does he know how dipomasy works?! Apparently not.

I know a lot of people don't care for Trudeau. I am actually pretty impressed with him, and on his way out, he is showing his strength and intelligence. He has Canada's back even in his last days as Prime Minister. Let's make sure we elect a Prime Minister who is equally strong and can stand up the narcissistic bully called Trump.

A dictator calling a dictator, a dictator is just wild.

This grade b drama teacher has no legimacy to speak on behalf of Canada. Call an election!\nOPEN THE PARLEMENT !

It’s a shame they called this the “‘…US launched…” tariff war. I wanted no part of this! I am disgusted but his.

Ha ha, Trump hates it when people call him Donald.?

A clown who could not answer questions properly now has got written text from someone who can better say it.\n\nBut calling others dictator is his first hypocrisy as he himself is. He is a swine who will bend for vote. This is his theatrics to gain vote

Texan and Cold War veteran here. Canada has fought beside us in every major conflict and a number of small ones as well and has always been a good friend to the American people. I will do everything I can to support Canada and Ukraine and any other ally our current dis-administration attempts to bully. \n\nExcellent speech Mr. Prime Minister, you are what leadership and integrity look like and Canadians can be proud to call you their own. You are polite, we are not. You are loyal, we are not. You have guts, we currently do not. God keep your land glorious and free!

That’s how a leader addresses the world. No mocking, no name calling. Just the facts. Mad props to you sir from this American.

I'm not sure Americans can understand this without name calling, repeating the same thing over and over, and pausing to s*** his pants

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

I loved this! Way to go! This is how President should speak. I do like that he called him Donald. That is going to poke the orange bear, but i loved it!

From Camada\nHe leads the most corrupt government we have ever had.\nHe is complete narcissistic lying Sweer talker.\nOver 35 members of the party have left and are not seeking re-election.\nWe have the lowest dollar strength, doubled housing cost, high inflation.\nHe has added a carbon tax which makes everything more expensive and is raised every years. \nThey called a snap election during the pandemic and have given them s over 6 raises from 2020 to 2025.\nAlmost 80% over the country wanted an election and a large number of his party members wanted him to step down.\nSince then he has prorogued parliament for their own interest while intending to resign and find a new part leader.\nWhen citizens from his own country rebelled and protested against his authoritarian overreaching governance he froze thie bank accounts and call an emergency and had them removed.\nWe have the highest number of homeless we have ever had.\nTax payers pay for drug addicts safe supply.\nAnd on and on.

Prime Minister Trudeau, please be aware that Americans the majority of the Americans today do not stand with this…. I truly believe most Americans have woke up they had the FAFO and do not condone him aligning himself with Putin. You’ve been more respectful by even calling him Donald because I call him either this or 45. Thank you for being true our true allies to America.

Americans, call your representatives and tell them yo get off their asses and get some balls and stand up to Dumpy that he is not king and can keep using emergency orders without proof. \nRepublicans, time to reign in this crazy old man.

Sorry they just voted for a loser devil. I no you have to do what you have to. But with America voting the unfit old uneducated did I already call him a loser. I hate everybody that voted for this. Bullshit

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.

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

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

Guys, are you still in doubts and pretending to now see the country going down! You need to call your lawmakers now to change sides and have some immediate checks and balances on this government. Or else most of your wealth will be GONE while the Billionaires are getting richer. Stop the partisan politics now and defend your interests, America!

Want Canadians know many of us are grieved by what is done by this so called but Not president and the tariffs that have been put on our neighbor. We mourn and feel grieved over the time he has been in office- the lies, lack of charity to others while still using ‘God’…shocked that nothing seems to be able to stop this… We are sorry for the hurt that’s been caused to Canada- And just know that some of us here are very grieved by what we see happening to many people in the last six months—- please forgive and pray for us!!! Our nation is in real trouble.

Trudeau calling Trump by his first name, Donald.

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.

Im old enough to remember when Russia was the enemy...i believe Reagan called them the evil empire...and a few decades later conservatives are all friendly with Putin

Putin is a real leader for Russia. You are an embezzler & corrupt. we are sick and tired to have to pay the way for all our so called friends. Mutual friendship is what Putin offers.

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??

I'm proud to hear this from our PM. No appeasement. No concessions. We expect only a stupid response from a stupid, disgusting man. \nAll the Western leaders should band together to call out this disgusting, vile US leader & point out exactly what he is.

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

Love all the support, from a proud Canadian! To the American people, we still love and respect all of you! Even the ones who want to annex us and call us a 3rd world country even though it’s hard in these times

Calling a spade a spade! Proud of our PM, proud Canadian here.

Canada already had high tariff's on us and Canada knows they can't win this trade war. Should have worked better helping with the border, Trudeau lies out his ass constantly. His own people have called him out for his corruption.

One minute yall call Trudeau a buffon and next yall call him a great leader! All yall people on here are fake!! Wishy washy supporters!

Killing myself laugh when he called him Donald!

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.
