Trump sounds like a 2yr old compared to Trudeau.

Why is he talking funny? I mean even different that Canadian English. Is he trying to sound smart? Oh yea, and along with Trump even most Canadians want Trudeau gone sound do everyone a favor. Even YOUR people, just resign.

Tres bien and merci. For ignorant Americans that is very good and thank you in the our other official language. Calling trump's move dumb was purely wonderful. Bravo Trudeau.

Trudeau is a weak leader, plain and simple. The people of Canada want him out of there. He's screwed up the economy big time in Canada and his only recourse is to come after Trump. He's weak and he is pathetic. Keep your eyes on Alberta, they really have the power in Canada, and they are fed up of bankrolling this idiot and the rest of the provinces. Let's make Alberta the 51st State. Trudeau can keep the rest of the Socialists. As far as his comments on Russia, the guy is far off base its not even worth commenting on it. Trudeau is a little minion and has lost complete respect on the world stage.

I love it how trudeau went from being informative and eloquate, but made sure to include the words big and dumb just so he had a chance for trump to understand them.

Trudeau sounds so professional, sensible - just what you need from a leader. Trump - not so much.

The only mistake Trudeau made was calling Trump a smart man.But I guess he was trolling him and appealing to Trump's fragile ego.

I’m so sorry ?. This is a Trump thing. Most Americans don’t want this bullshit either. You watch Mr. Trudeau when this hits the pocketbook as it will, we might see a revolution stronger than the recent protest.

You never know what is going on behind the curtains! \nMaybe this is all set up by Trump and Trudeau to bring him up again because people started to hate Justin Trudeau! \nJust like the way Trump hired someone to shoot him to his ear to push people to feel bad for him, love and respect him and vote for him after that!!! And... Unfortunately it worked perfectly !\nLet's see what will happen to Justin Trudeau after all of these go away and everything goes back to normal again \nI really don't see any signs of stress on Justin Trudeau's face and skin at all. \nHe is fresh, shiny and happy inside. \nDo you remember his appearance during the pandemic?

I never voted for Trudeau, but it is hard not to admire him after this speech. He makes Trump look just like he is.. an old, ugly, out-of-shape, and very, very stupid fool. The last thing Canada needs right now are bootlicking Conservatives like Pierre Poilievre. And on a final note.. Trudeau was wrong, Donald is NOT a smart man. He is an utter imbecile.

Thank you Mr. Trudeau. Wish we had politicians of your caliber. And do what you have to do to help our people see how bad Trump and his ilk are for the US, the rest of us will be ready to heal our friendship when we can get rid of him.

Don’t be stupid Trudeau, Trump doesn’t care immigration or Fentanyl from Canada, he wants to finish Canadian economy and invade your land

Donald Trump has managed rehabilitate Justin Trudeau's reputation and give the Liberal Party a good fighting chance in the national election coming later this year. He's also managed to elevate his arch enemy Chrystia Freeland.

I am a registered republican in arizona and i am proud of Trudeau. I cannot say the same about trump….he is shameful, ignorant, mentally ill, and highly dangerous.

Hey Trudeau…thought you had resigned yet here you are ! President Trump would have negotiated with a good leader. Why don’t you clean the filth out of Canada, the corrupt drug cartels, the fentanyl labs etc etc.

It's okay Trudeau, tRump is just jealous of you because his wife thinks you are hot. Good looking, fit and trim and actually have an education, not just something daddy bought.

I stand with Trudeau and Zelenskyy. Also I'm going to buy Canadian in as many things as I can no matter how expensive it is and boycott anything that supports the Trump nonsense.

Trudeau is a real leader, and Trump is a pile of dog sh!t.

What a great man Trudeau is! And what a disgusting thug Trump is.

Trump guna own u soy boy governor Trudeau

We stand by you Canada. Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau. Trump for no reason made a War at his closest Ally. What a Fool. Deport him to Russia.

While I didn't vote for Trump... The idea that this will hit Trump voters almost makes the financial suffering I may have to endure worth it. They will finally feel the consequences of their stupid choices on a personal level. This is the only thing that will speak to them. Thank you Justin Trudeau. I am not looking forward to this personally. But it's important that we as a nation face the consequences of our actions.

When does Trudeau leave office? Canadians don't want him. Trump expects more effort at controlling immigration at the Canadian border which Trudeau has not done. He is the reason there is tariffs on Canada today!

Remember Trudeau just like zenkesky failed to remember that it's not Joe in charge anymore someones in there that will not be disrespected an told what when or he was what's going to happen an especially in the position everyone is in America is not going to be a sucker no more an show love to other countries we don't get back no love now let's make if fair across the board an the tarrifs are great us people just want some of there needs an security but we're trillions in debt an no body seems to help or care or even say anything about it an the saddest part of it all is president trumps fault that how stupid people an brainwashed that the left had left on them hate in the there hearts

I'd like to see Trump get into the boxing ring with Trudeau. Mostly I'd like to see the explanations of why he would back down from the invitation to box with Trudeau.

Please PM Trudeau, it's not the United States who wants to Trade War, It's Trump and his incompetency. Trump is not thinking about the wellbeing of the Americans......

Can't make our case any better than that Justin Trudeau! Well done! Trump and his minions are ruining America's status as being the leader of the free world. Most American citizens want their country back to the way it was ... leader of the free world. Donald Trump has to be stopped!

I would rather have Trudeau as President of this country. Dump trump!

No Trudeau. America didn’t start it. TRUMP did… We are not him ?

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...

TO ALL FELLOW CANADIANS. YOU WILL VERY SOON REGRET WANTING TRUDEAU OUSTED. YOU’RE ON THE SAME CRAZY TRAIN AS THE TRUMP VOTERS. Trust me

Trudeau what you're saying about Putin ain't good,President Putin works so hard to safeguard the rights of the weak and prevent them from exploitation by the strong in the society,on the other hand President Trump may have made a decision that doesn't suite you but that doesn't mean he's dumb, if his decision ain't favoring you simply sit done with him and converse to find a solution.Russia is not the enemy of America but the people who spread propagandas about Russia are the ones creating an imaginary enemy who in real sense is actually a friend.

Trudeau makes trump look like a complete idiot, which of course he is. Attacking your neighbour in this way, is completely idiotic and so self defeating. The American public should rise up.

Trudeau's speech resembles Trump's as much as their appearances do!

Trump becoming president again made Trudeau resign, he sh1t himself ???

Trump likes Canadians, he just doesn't like that weasel Trudeau.... Remember the truckers...

Trudeau is not that popular in Canada, but he is one thing,he's not Trump.He cares about Canadians, and our Sovereignty. Trump has sold out Americans to Russia, and is president only to keep himself out of prison and to enrich himself from the position. He has no interest in the American people, only in revenge for supposed flights to him by just about everyone, as he is a petulant child.

Please, all honorable leaders such as Trudeau, call out this absolute idiot, Trump! Who voted for this idiot?

Funny how a lot of Canadians complained about Trudeau, the wokeness etc. Albeit reasonably so, Practically praising Trump, until these idiotic tariffs. Now we have Canada united and in a fighting patriotic mood against Trump. UK probably gonna go the same way thanks to Vance. A lesson in hubris.

I am an embarassed American and I support Trudeau !!! Stay strong against Trump !!

Trudeau was correct to state that Trump’s actions are Dumb. However, he incorrectly called Trump a smart person.

Also Justin Trudeau didn’t think Donald Trump was smart he said he agreed with the whichever newspaper it was Washington Post I think that even though Donald Trump is a smart guy this was a dumb thing. I don’t think he really agreed with the part about Donald Trump being a smart guy. But he definitely agrees with this being a dumb thing. He just had to say thatto stroke Cheetos ego

Canadians, I am with you. Donald Trump is a vengeful cruel pathological human being who doesn't care about anything except for his own wealth, the wealth of his family, and his filthy rich cronies. He has no intention of helping Americans with their day to day expenses. I apologize on behalf of our country. I did not vote for this man/child. Kudos to Trudeau for standing up to him. ???

Why are those 2 people standing behind him trying not to smile when Trudeau is making up that Trump wants a trade war and he's siding with Putin? This guy is trying to start problems and spreading lies to keep the division going!!! That is the whole plan with this whole Ukraine deal!!! Stop funding the wars and we could all move forward not with this BS!!!

Trudeau has more education than trump.

I normally don't agree in Mr Trudeau, but he nailed it. You Canadians should be proud - As mr Trump should be a shamed. USA is from now an ally to Mr Putin and his world of scumbags. This happens in front of the American people. And the rest of the world watch in shock how fast USA is going down. It is the biggest tragedy in the history of US.

The only thing I think I'd disagree with here is Trudeau calling Trump a smart man. I know he's trying to appeal to his vanity, but it still feels icky.

Trudeau wouldn't be talking this shit if trump was there in front of him

Trudeau spoke the truth — except when he said Donald Trump is a smart man.\nDonald Trump is one of the dumbest people on earth. He only benefitted from being elected by even dumber people.

Trudeau trying to act tough is like tinker bell trying raising a fist at you...both are laughable. Notice how he doesn't discuss the Canadian tariffs on American goods prior to Trump? Drop your tariffs and we'll drop ours - deal?
