This is exactly why Putin did everything in his power to make sure Trump will be selected. Divide et Impera. Russians and Chinese definitely know how to do it. They know the only way USA and west will crumble is FROM INSIDE.

Why did Canadians dislike this guy so much before all this? Because some Russian trolls on social media disguised as Canadians told them to? That's how we got Trump! It seems like they learned from our mistake. I hope they did. Look, all over the world, things are tough, post pandemic. It's not just your country. You can be patient as left leaning leaders use data and expertise to get things running again...OR you can elect these far right NUTCASES, AND MAKE A MESS THAT IS IRREVERSIBLE! DON'T TRUST THE FAR RIGHT! YOU ARE NOT IN THEIR CLUB. THEY WORK FOR THEMSELVES AND THEMSELVES ONLY, AND WILL TELL YOU WHATEVER LIE YOU NEED TO HEAR TO GET INTO OFFICE.

Donald Trump has been compromised, he has been bought and paid for by Putin the Russian empire. He has no business being in the oval office let's start the impeachment process now. Donald Trump is cashing in on the American presidency with Russia. I'm sure we'll find out down the road that he's been taking payoffs from the Russian government for a long time. I'm sure Putin's got plenty of dirt on Donnie.

Wow, Trump is seething with jealousy right now. This guy is everything Trump is not, young, strong and articulate. Not a weak minded simp and boot licking Russian sympathizer. I, as an American that served, can only wish our leader with this kind of integrity and character. Sadly, what we have is the worst moron his followers, like the brainwashed dolts they are, voted him to the highest office in the land, responsible for the wellbeing of this country.\nWe are doomed as a country if we don't do something to stop the orange idiot!

Let's make it make sense. Donald Trump is trying to hand America to Putin the best way he can. The country United States is ran by Soviet Union Russian agents!

Trump is a weak pos, a Russian puppet, a Manchurian man child, and a disgrace to democracy. He was elected by billionaires and supported by his cult. Vile.

I genuinely believe that Trump is a paid Russian asset

Trump is NOT an American. He is a self-serving Russian agent.

Is it true that in 1987 Trump was a Russian Asset? Seeing lots of stuff online saying he even had Russian agents living in Trump tower. Is this True? Could he still Be? Would explain alot if it is.

Trudeau isn't dumb in stating this bluntly to 'Donald'. Trump needs to get the message (esp. by mass protest from his hopefully former American voters/supporters) just how dumb these US tariffs really are - how they'll cause inflation and stock market collapse the world over. And Trump's aligning himself with the US's manipulative, deceitful enemy Russia is because Trump has been laundering Russian Oligarch's money for decades (from forced prostitution and enslavement, drugs, and small arms sales to terrorists) to finance his real estate empire, ever since his 6 bankruptcies made him a bad risk for US lenders.

Trump is a Russian asset. The moment that is understood, all of Trump's past actions make perfect sense - since the beginning.

Trump is Russian spy ?️‍♂️

?I miss normalcy and truth and Justin Trudeau embodies that. It’s nice to hear. I am so unhappy with what is going on with Trump. Too bad none of his followers will even see this; they hear Russian propaganda only.

Trump owes the Russian mob so much money and now it’s time for him to pay them back. How? Stealing from the taxpayers. If not for the Russian mob, he would have been extremely poor. That’s a testament to him being a terrible business man.

It's not about fentanyl, it's about Russian access to the Arctic. Trump's interests lie there.

a historian on LCI 4 months ago explains why Trumps admirers the KGB= RUSSIA, that have pulled him out of debt and has been grooming him since the 80’s. He is turning the USA into a Russian annexe

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!!!

Is Donald Trump a Russian Asset? \nUS author explains Donald Trump’s Russia, KGB connections\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsIntuxmXf0&t=7s

?Trump + JD Joke Vance ?are both Russian Assets (What a Disgrace!!!)… Welcome to the United States of Russia… ???

This happened because Donald Trump's balls (if he has any) are in the hands of the Russians.

Finally people see Trump is a Russian and Chinese puppet.\n\nTrudeau is a very well spoken and intelligent talking man here.

Trump is a Russian agent

Trump supports won't watch or listen to this, people who hate Trump already know this.. this great speech is going to fall on deaf ears of the Maga Americans.\nCant Americans see Trump is literally making America shit cause he's a comprised Russian agent.

Trump is for the great reset. They want everyone out of power except for white males. He wants corruption and crime to be associated with the Russian KGB. Hello maga crypto crime. If he’s not impeached fast, we’re not accused of manipulating the world economy, the rest of the world that is for social equality will not make it through.

Well said. I will never understand how Trump and the entire Republican Party turned against our country and our allies, and aligned themselves with a murderous Russian dictator. I don’t know how anyone could grow up in the United States of America and so completely turn their backs on the Constitution, and the laws and values we stand for. I am confused. I am scared. I am angry. But mostly, I am ashamed to be living in Trump’s America.

What a terrific speech. Trump is a Russian agent and should be impeached

That is because Trump is a Russian asset, and he's out to destroy democracy

Trudeau, my brother, My words cannot begin to express to you or your people just how genuinely sorry I am for my country's utterly repulsive and inexcusable behavior throughout the last month and a half and for the downright cruel, hostile treatment you've suffered at the hands of the most incompetent, greedy, poorly educated, narcissistic, racist, sexist, xenophobic buffoon to ever preside over the United States. Not only is Donald Trump an overly privileged, pathetic, whiney crybaby who literally folds his arms, stomps his feet, and launches an all out temper tantrum whenever he doesn't get his way or when someone else has the TV remote, he is a dangerously delusional, high stakes risk taker who wouldn't think twice about using his own mother or child as a human body shield if he thought his life were in danger. There is absolutely no value, principle, moral or ethic he wouldn't betray without hesitation if he suspects there is anything at all to be gained - you know, the type of guy who would poison the entire neighborhood in order to hoard all the complimentary tampons and lip gloss samples from his neighbors' mail boxes just to ensure that he got first dibs on everything before anyone else. Incidentally, he is also the same type of guy who pockets all the flavored mini coffee creamers from the gas station and all the paper bed sheets and Qtips from the doctor's office. I wouldn't put it past him to steal the waitresses' tips off tabletops on his way out the door upon leaving McDonald's. In fact, I would bet everything that he steals the donation jars for Jerry's Kids at the local supermarket. I mean, its already a given that he is likely the guy who filed a lawsuit a few summers back against a sweet, innocent littls FOUR year old boy for having a lemonade stand on property not zoned for commercial use. If it wasn't Trump then I'm sure it's only because he was too busy ordering the National Guard to power hose and pepper spray the 30 or so elderly nuns who had been distributing bottled water to folks demonstrating in support of Black Lives Matter on the hottest day of the year. Satisfied in his victorious battle against the nuns - 9 of whom had been hospitalized for critical injuries including the 92 year old Mother Superior who suffered massive brain bleed, swelling and concussion due to the excessive force of the power hose and an 87 year old nun who lost permanent sight in one eye due to the pepper spray - Trump had the nerve to pose for a publicity shot in front of the church while holding a Bible - UPSIDE DOWN - and scrunching and contorting his face into that hideous trademark scowl he does ever so naturally. Yep. This is the man my fellow Americans chose to represent our nation as President - a man who beats up 90 year old nuns and imposes 25% tax hikes to our ONLY FRIEND in the entire world simply for refusing to accept his invitation for statehood. I mean, come on, Trudeau, is that really asking too much of you? Was it really worth bruising Donny's fragile little ego and sending him into a fit of rage? (Seriously, though, I suspect he really does feel as though you are in the wrong for refusing to humor his delusions and thus embarrassing him in front of all his Russian dictator and Ku Klux Klan buddies.)\nOnce again, I do humbly apologize and I promise I will support whatever actions you choose to take and I will help you in any way you deem is best. \nMuch love and peace always, \nMs. S. Delois Jackson

God bless Canada. Trump is a Russian agent doing his job for Putin. It is clear.

I think this is exactly as you say, trump being played by putin. What does Putin get from it...maybe trump sending US military (boots on the ground) to replace the North Korean fodder on the Russian frontline in Ukraine...?

Facts and logic don’t work against Trump unfortunately. Man’s a Russian lapdog.

Trumps a Russian asset just say it out loud

Canada, how can you treat you best allie, best of friends best trading partner. how dare you treat the country that saved you from the Nazis from the Moslems from Russians and Mexicans from the Europeans. trump is going to destroy you and then make Canada a state. you can not be the 51st state because Israel is the 51st state. so get in line.

Putin works for the Russian mob and Donald J Trump works for a dictator named Putin who wants to bring America to it's knees now this is a major problem. Donald J Trump has got to go immediately, forcefully and aggressively the individuals that work for the government that we will never know or hear of but make sure that Americans are safe from foreign and domestic terrorist so we may have a peace of mind while we sleep have a job to do godspeed to you.

Seems to me that Trump is trying to weaken the American economy, and people to such a state that he will invite Putin to come in and help them, and Trump will become a Russian Oligarch

Trudeau is a good leader who care's for both Canada and America USA . basically trump is a Russian

Trump is a Russian asset and many of his circle put there to destroy our country and our Democracy

What's the bet the Russian tariffs come off first. I hope it's a very hard landing for Trump when this plays out.

Australia here ... What the $#@ is the go with Trump he is abandoning every ally and backing a Russian tyrant ... Make America great my arse !!! \nHe is gonna ruin America

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 !!

I want my fellow Americans to know that what Trump is doing by picking up on our neighbors. Canada and Mexico and talking about the Russian Eukrane war is a strategy to distract American people from their real problem is to fight the inflation ..this is a big game

Pound sand Trump, if you think you can push Canada around you have no idea who you're messing with. Americans should be ashamed of themselves for voting in this orange clown twice. Russian asset.

I'll tell you what this is about. I'll tell you why the orange Jesus is attacking friends instead of enemies. I will let you know why Trump has become the largest Putin bootlicker. It is because I believe Putin who is one of the most dangerous political figures in Europe in the last 200 years, who is a former KGB agent and he was a very good one, has dug up some much much much much much much much dirty dirt on the most despicable disrespectful immoral entitled billionaire moron. Probably the same kind of dirt why the Epstein files were mostly redacted. I believe the orange orang spent some very good times in Russia in the past, good times that should never come out in the light of day, some services that were probably at a discount, while some hidden cameras and microphones were collecting that very dirty dirt and the brand on those cameras and microphones was a KGB logo. This is why I think Mr thinnest tope in the world is acting as the Russians boyfriend.

We are collectively drifting into a more and more divided world. I hope the Americans will stand up against Trump and realize that he is harming their country with his current actions and pro-russian politics.

Trump and MAGAts do not represent Americans.They are programmed Russian Cult members.

Well...Trump is not smart. He is an IDIOT, and worse, he is a traitor commanded by Putin. I bet he will try to trade with Russia very soon. He is just a Russian asset. The Russians call him Agent Orange!

Trump is playing right into Putin's hands obviously has never read a history book or two look at America's stance at the end of World War II and we've been fighting against the Russians ever since they are not America's friend

Trump is a Russian asset... Please fake check me!

I'm an American. Trump and company are Russian Collaborators . They are NOT acting in America's interest. I'm on Canada's side here for sure. Trumps tariffs must be some kind of fishy scam. I bet its some kind of money grab? It would not surprise me.The White house is under Russian Control.

Great speech! This is how a mature politician sounds like. I wouldn t be suprised to find out that Trump is some sort of russian agent. He must be stopped. People like him are the cause for the start of downfall of powerfull nations. I bet China wasn t ever this happy like now
