Calling him Governor Trudeau is the same to Canadians as the Americans feel about the confederate flag! Stop it!

Under normal circumstances I would be the last person to support our Liberal party; especially Trudeau. His past record speaks for itself. However, his talk today to the American people and Trump actually made me feel proud to be a Canadian. It was the harshest language I have heard him use towards Trump especially after enduring weeks of degrading talk from Trump in relation to calling Trudeau a governor. I hope that the Liberals follow through with protecting Canadians.

I'm European and I really can't understand how you can make an economic trade war with an ally like Canada, a close and so friendly neighbor.... A dumb decision not only for the W Post... And all of this will end up heavily impacting Americans as well, also because besides Canada there is Mexico, China and the whole of Europe. In such a war there are no winners.... I really hope that the American people understand this and start fighting for this nonsense to end. \nAnd when I then hear President Trudeau called governor.... Well I get even more angry. This shows even more (but there was no need) who trump is. A suburban bully. A rude man. An unscrupulous man who passes over everything and everyone.\nAmerica is turning into something I no longer recognize....\n\nKeep going Canada!

US economy is 10 times bigger than that of Canada so, Canada will collapse if they are not able to sell their goods and services to US markets.\nUS though may get a hit but will gain much when Canada will become the 51st state with Trudeau as it's Governor ?????✅

Governor Trudeau

I demand the Donald to apologize deeply and sincerely for having been disrespectful to my Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau by calling him governor. I want USA to repay the blood and money we shed and spent when we fought battles with you! Doanld, you've been so ungrateful! Shame!

From a fellow Commonwealth country Australia ??here, totally support Canada ??. Trump is a wannabe dictator and referring to Prime Minister Trudeau, whether you agree with his politics or not, as a “Governor” is not only disrespectful to PM Trudeau but to all Canadians. In the same way Trump disrespected Zelenskyy. This president and the current GOP has no shame. Do not back down Canada!

Governor Trudeau ... lies lies lies

Since when is calling Trump Donald harsh? The rude president call him governor Trudeau! At least Prime Minister Trudeau was respectful!

Justin Trudeau, you did this to Canada. It’s so disrespectful calling the sitting President Donald. Why don’t you go raise carbon taxes, send our money to Ukraine and bring in another 10,000 Sudan’s when your people are sleeping on the street. This speech is a joke, look at yourself in the mirror and say all this to yourself. Also, stop lying that only a small percentage of fentanyl go into the states from Canada! You’re lying and need to stop holding our country hostage so the conservatives can clean up YOUR mess just like they’re doing in the US! Thanks to you many Canadians are excited and wish to become the 51st state because you’ve made Canada such a threat to the US National Security. You brought in millions of unvetted immigrants, terrorists and allowed so much crime. CNN shame on you. You’ve fed these poor people so many lies they have no idea of the corruption going on. Thank God Justin is gone. Bye Bye Governor Trudeau.

Governor Trudeau Join USA, it's as simple as that ??

Harsh! PM Trudeau called his name: Donald is very polite that donalddeserves be called convictedfelon trump.\nNah! I do not see any harsh words from PM Trudeau and convicted felon trump shouls apology PM Traudeau as felon trump him is governor.\nThis president felon misled his country nowhere but backward ,\nWhat is he doing for better! Nah! for richer? Nah! For American greater by those tariffs to closest ally? Nah! But American intelligent communities need to find out what trump truly is.

Governor Trudeau , bonne chance à vous ...

Trudeau’s boyfriend teaching him how to be a man. Way to try and sound big, governor of the 51st state ??

Trump talks about disrespect yet he talks about Trudeau as Governor

Just 1 week to go for Trudeau to be out. Chill Governor Chill !!

Governor Trudeau go kiss the ring and ask for forgiveness?

Trump guna own u soy boy governor Trudeau

Shut up Governor Trudeau, keep it up and we will shut off Federal funding to our 51st State!

Trump insists on an apology from Zelensky because he claimes that Zelensky showed him respect - and at the same time Trump calls Justin Trudeau - who is the Prime Minister of Canada - for governor. Talk about showing respect. So I'm going to call Trump a smallminded, vindictive megalomaniac, a pathological liar and a sick narcissistic baby. Nobody respects Trump; they fear him because he is an unreliable madman with a lot of military strenght and (so far) economic strenght he can threaten everybody with. Pictures of Stalin and Hitler must be hanging in his bedroom...

Governor Trudeau !!!

Very disrespectful Governor Trudeau.

Wow! Gov. Trudeau put on his big boy pants. FAFO Governor.

Governor Trudeau

Who allowed GOVERNOR Trudeau to speak??? #CNN is again trying to influence the elections in the 51st state #Canada!

Trudeau and Canada has taken so much disrespect with all the discourse surrounding Canada being the “51st State” and “Governor Trudeau.” Addressing Trump as “Donald” fees like such a nice subtle little jab ?

Boo hoo whining and crying from Governor Trudeau

We the people of the united states of America want you gone! Or you can be governor Trudeau ?

clown of Canada Trudeau, had he not been governor of Canada situation would have been different

Governor Trudeau is mad af

you have been taking advantage of US so this only fair. step back in line. you put a 25% tarrif on US now? they will double yours so it destroys you in everyway governor Trudeau

Canadian governor Trudeau.

Be quiet Governor Trudeau ?

Governor Trudeau FA\n&\nGovernor Trudeau FO

Governor Trudeau will get screwed very soon.

Good job governor Trudeau.

Governor Trudeau ?? day dreaming

And the latest from Trump now is that he is upset about Canada countering with tariffs, calling Trudeau for governor of Canada, another 51st state reference? is that he could increase the tariffs on Canada. Mr Trump, you fool, what goes around comes around.

Governor Trudeau will come to the table like the Ukraine comedian MAGA

Hey its Governor Trudeau of the future 51st state of the united states of America!

Trump says tariffs on Canada will increase if Canada imposes retaliatory tariffs.\n\n“Governor Trudeau” ?

I thought governor Trudeau already resigned ?. Surprised to see him on screen again. He's more worried about the people of USA than Canada which is already in crisis. ?

All Governor Trudeau talking about a non-existent trade War these are just tariffs and in any way shape and form a war? Canada's military is so underfunded by Governor Trudeau Canada would almost certainly lose any conflict at ever thought with America or any tier one adversary, my suggestion Mr Trudeau you need to exit stage left and make room for somebody who has the courage to deal with the Tangerine bird

Governor Trudeau is going to fold.

Please explain to Governor Trudeau, of Canada, that when he puts on a Retaliatory Tariff on the U.S., our Reciprocal Tariff will immediately increase by a like amount!

Meanwhile TRUMP ON TRUTH SOCIAL -\n\nPlease explain to Governor Trudeau, of Canada, that when he puts on a Retaliatory Tariff on the U.S., our Reciprocal Tariff will immediately increase by a like amount!\n\n????

All governors whether it’s Gavin Newsom or Trudeau or Pritzker should not cultivate antagonistic relationship with the president . They need to work with him inspite of political differences

Governor Trudeau needs to go

Governor Trudeau
