Call Trump a dictator Trudeau then you’ll earn Canadian respect

Trump....the Great Divider.\nCanada has been Americas ally through thick and thin for DECADES.\nNow he threatens his allies....but boy he respects his comrade eh?

Very proud of you PN Trudeau, VERY well deserved and spoken, with respect! US Military veteran.

No more buying US. No visits/ holiday's. No stocks. Cant help but feel this is what trump and musk want, i.e. to have stockmarket get weaker so they can buy more. \nLook over there...(aligning with Putin dictator, Bullying zelensky, illegal firing staff, tariffs, accusing zelensky of propaganda as US fox news is known for it) whilst they shake markets up, risking world war 3 for multiple reasons. With the Supreme court in his pocket, the US is following Putins lead and becoming a dictatorship. The law is far to pliable there at this point. \nAll those voted Trump in and think he is making America great, you are DILLUSIONAL!\nHe will take you and your families down.. the young get sent to war, the old asshole sociopathic men sit by the fire protected. It took a very long time for Germany to escape the reputation after Hitler. You want the rest of the world to disdain and never trust your country and people?! Germany recovered, but it was painful healing. \nHow bout Trump sleeps out on the streets, deals with fentanyl addicted unsupported US citizens and veterans or get sent to war? Or what about his children or grandchildren?! Would he care if they were called to stand for the country if WW3 broke out, because of him? Trump truly is making a statement... he gives 2Fs about the people, totally self serving. For the capitalist bullies who love money at any cost..even blood money... non of your investments will make a difference if you have no heating, water, food, jobs, lost family members through war and crap health system... not an ounce of love, respect, compassion, respect, leadership in the US government. The World can be better. Choose better... for all that is sacred... stop the madness!!\n\nWell done Canada & Trudeau... love and support you beautiful people. ❤\nLove and Strength to the people of Ukraine around the globe. I pray for this nightmare to end in your favour. For your loved ones to be safe and protected and that you can be reunited once more. Love and praise for Zelensky...you are a phenomenal leader. May you receive the support needed to end the war.❤\nHang tight US citizens who wish a very different US .❤

Don't kneel down before Trump. His gangland mentality respects no one. Backstabbings. Extortions. Threats. Time to forge your own destiny sans your supremacist neighbor.

Well you’re a day late and a dollar short. Americans are tired of taking care of others countries and paying out trillions of dollars and getting nothing back no respect no thanks nothing !!! So yes we are tired of it.

I’ve read a lot of comments from people saying “Trudeau ruined Canada” in response to people expressing their support for Trudeau in this time.\n\nThat’s not really a great point.\n\nIf Trudeau hasn’t been good for Canada, but gives a coherent, inspiring, and professional speech in this moment that unites Canadians and others alike, then that should speak so much to how awful this situation is. Huge respect to Trudeau and Canada for not backing down. I hope one day we’ll be allies with the right side of the world again.\n\nWe wanna talk about a leader ruining a country? That’s what Donald is doing right now. Except he won’t unite us in the future with a speech like this.\n\nThis American stands with Canada!

Brilliant end of leadership for Trudeau. No leader is perfect, but he has always been diplomatic, respectful and has stood up for our people. Proud to be Canadian ❤️

I find it amusing??? Trudeau is a bafoon who is respected by noone, not even Canadians. And because if his foolishness in failing to meet Canada's onligation to NATO, there are now consequences, and he's whining like a little b***

This is aboot respect!

1:02 with respect, you are right

As a Mexican, I truly respect and admire Mr. Justin Trudeau, a true leader while inmature Trump is leading the US to it's doom... lets see how this goes, Trump now has enemies all over the world, I'm so sorry for the fellow American citizens that will suffer for voting again for this hillbilly Clown and hillbilly JD Vance!

Mr Trudeau what Trump is doing to Canada is part of his vengeance tour. You didn’t show him the respect he thinks he deserves ?! He doesn’t care who he hurts including the US who he claims to make great again.

If any people are to be relocated, then the nations that were behind the BALFOUR DECLARATION AND SYKES-PICO AGREEMENT (ENGLAND & FRANCE) must welcome all zionists to resettle in their respective nation.

This man closed Canadas parliament and gave a Nazi war criminal a standing ovation. No one respects him, he is purposely destroying our country. The war is against Nazi liberals not America. Save us from this tyrant!!! Save Canada! Do not be fooled, he has erased Christianity and given corporations full control, he is EVERYTHING they accuse Donald Trump of being and WORSE! America is our last hope!!!!! I will die fighting to restore our democracy in Canada!

With all Respect to Canada but Please don’t underestimate the US. We can make our own stuff. Your 25% is nothing here.?

With all due respect Mr. Prime Minister, why didn't you have guts like this before in your term, maybe you wouldn't have had to resign.

Some excellent leadership from Mr Trudeau there. Much respect from your UK friends. Intelligence and truth - two things Trump is incapable of. The US will find themselves down the line with one friend only - Russia - who will then eventually screw over the US as they always have. Trump is a disaster for the US, and the wider world. The world is starting to turn their back on the US, as the US is doing to the world.

Tough times are upon us... But we will prevail. Become stronger, wiser, deeper, and more humble. \n\n\nRemember, this is not only the punishment. This is a great test, too. \n\nTake care of yourselves. Share love and respect. And do what you can do for the greater good. For all of us.\n\n\nFrom a citizen of Russian Federation.??

I respect Canada love there country... this is sad for the us

Dear Canada. We the people the good citizens of these divided states do not condone what trump is putting your country and the rest of the world through! More than 80% of us hate trump and his evil lawless deeds! We are no longer free here! We are under the thumbs of an evil dictator and his panzy the riches man in the world! They are destroying this country bit by bit and quickly! They and the republicans in congress have sided with them! I’m am saddened that you great friends and all citizens are no facing his dictatorship follies! trump is not American! He never has been! Musk worked his magic with skylink and stole the votes from the democrats! Erased millions of our votes east as pie! I respect mr trudou and we hear his plea! His sorrow and I hope he and all who read this in Canada realize that the hood American here never wanted this but we can’t stop him with the way he and our judicial system is erasing our constitution! It’s eroding daily as if it never existed!! We are truly sorry for the pain he’s putting you through! Know that the 80 percent of Americans still stand with Canada Mexico Ukraine the EU and the rest of the world he’s punishing ?

Donald Trump isn't a admirable person anymore. He always demand respect, you know what Donald? Respect can't be demanded, it must be earned.

Thank you Trudeau for standing up to Trump. You have my respect no matter what ?

7:00 - that wasn’t by accident. The absolute worst thing to do to a sociopath is show them a lack of respect. “Donald” lol

He lost all respect and credibility when he said “people kind”. What a loser.

Respect to Canada!

Lol love how he said “Donald” and not “President Trump.” Perfect for a ? deserving of NO respect. Barely 2 months in office and this ? is already turning us into an isolated, reviled nation seen as nothing but a gang of mercenary bullies by the rest of the sane world. I’m an American and I turn my back on this madness. I stand with sanity, justice and truth. I stand with Canada and Ukraine. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Canada respectfully we will take you!!!

I have just listened to Trump's State of the Union address. Gone is any respect I had for your country. What a hunk of crap that was....constant lies and falsehoods....no wonder you are losing your democracy. Shame on your Mitch.....you knew he was guilty as sin and now he is going to ruin your country. Job well done!

PM Trudeau, I respect you to the FULLEST extent!

If any American is shocked by this and believe that this deterioration of relations happened over night… allow me to remind you that not just Canada, but the entire world has prepared for this starting in Tr**p’s first term when he first started breaking ties with allies and sat in bed with your enemies. That is why the world is backing Canada so quickly and aggressively - we saw this coming and we decided back then that we needed to prepare for a world without the USA… and here we are! For any Americans who believe your ‘leader’ that this is the age when the world will respect the USA again, it is precisely the opposite… and if you don’t want to believe that, well, wishing you all the best. The world has never ever had as little respect for the USA as today… and Putin is just laughing his ass off because he has your ‘leader’ wrapped around his finger.

I know you mean what you are saying, I'm disgusted with our new president that doesn't care about us or anyone but himself. I wish I could move to Canada. Here we are treated like garbage with no respect for homeless, children, elderly any human being. I admire you and Zelensky real gentleman.

As a Canadian I'm still in shock and can't make any sense of what Trumps doing. We do everything for the USA and are close Allies..I lost respect for Trump and his administration.

Trudeau has had his up and downs in Canadian politics over the years, with the ever present divide between Conservatives and Liberals here in Canada, but one thing is for sure, he's a true statesman, who speaks with wisdom from the heart, and for that is respected around the world. Trump would be smart to take notes from Trudeau, a man with considerably more skill, etiquette and experience in the field of political leadership, both hear at home, and on the world stage.

It's important to remember that it's not kind or respectful to make fun of someone for their appearance or cultural practices.1st you have to know that USA is 65 $ billion Trade Deficit with Canada Do you know how it will effect USA citizen cost will increase on average person Even i am not USA Citizen or even i didn't visited USA at present my country have trade Deficit many countries in my country very hard to live in India

Brilliant speech! Much love and respect to Canada and Canadians and their response! From your neighbor in Washington state.

?Green Berets Vs Algonquins ? Bad News! - Here's the Problem: We have a smaller Population but Entrepreneurs in this Country have Rights! - It matters when it comes to sheltering an Economy!\nTrade war from Free Trade? Bizarre! Look on the Bright side - Deniro is on our side! (Obviously!)\n (All I'd like to say is... with respect (?) - If Cretien was PM a few Years ago, The Minister of Justice Jody Wilson would have remained in office?)

This is how you respond to bullies like Trump: calmly, intelligently, with unwavering determination and sisu. Big respect and much love from your friends and allies in Finland, we stand with Canada! ?? ❤??

Trudeau hasn’t always had strong leadership here; however, I will say that today he has earned much respect from fellow Canadians. It’s a shame that in this fight the only winners will be Russia and China

Donald. Says it all. A title and respect is earned not granted. Bravo ?

Much respect to Mister Trudeau he is so respectful and mature

Donald trump is nothing but bully.we don't owe nothing I don't respect him.and what he did to.all the countries with tariffs is not acceptable

We don't want this either CANADA....not all of us are idiots that believe a bunch of false promises....some of us Americans know there's no winner in tariffs ...rather it's the consumers that lose most....there's better ways to earn Respect for our country

Thank you Trudeau for standing up for your country, and doing the right thing for your people. I respect you and support Canada ❤. Trump is not a president, he’s a Felon.

I am so proud of Canada and the Prime Minister. As an American, and respect and support this professional and empathic acknowledgement to this hideous tariff war. Americans are watching a mature leader, addressing several nations. The Heritage foundation is reckless and feeding Dfrump.

Bravo Mr. prime Minister Trudeau! Much respect from this American citizen!! Trump is a stain on our nation!!!!!

Slightly less than half of us are completely horrified by our government. Don’t blame ya one bit Canada. Much respect and thanks for the friendship over the years. Hope somehow we can regain trust in the future. ??

Smart man??!!!!! Noooooo Mr. Trudeau he is a moronic deranged lunatic working as a servant for another moronic deranged idiot called Elon Musk. My deepest respect for you and the Canadian people.

I wasn’t a fan of Trudeau before, but I’ve got to give him credit—he’s really stepping up for his country now. Firm, reasonable, no BS. Gotta respect that.

Hats off PM, you’re indeed a top class political leader worthy of respect.
