This is the greatest speech the world has heard since Winston Churchill ?. From England I salute you Canadians ? ?? ??????? ?? ??. I’m sorry the unintelligent and uneducated from the US backwaters voted in that orange fck, but karma’s a b1tch and they can now enjoy paying premium prices across the board in their self appointed ‘great’ country ?

Trump to United Nation- I am leaving UN as you have not given VETO power to North Korea which is greatest & greatest & greatest democracy in the world???? Trump promise Full of entertainment for at least 4 years not for only Americans , for ALL

Greatest speech ever from Mr. Trudeau.

Lex Luther was always Supermans friend , greatest guys I know , Putin and Trump ! Bringing to you on the world stage , chaos , division , and bondage unto submission ! LETS MAKE A DEAL , COME ON DOWN !!!???

I don't care what side of the fence you sit on. I did not need to hear this man speak to already know Canada was, but may yet be, our greatest ally and trading partner. I have no idea what possessed Mr. Trump to decide to stab our allies in the back, but it was not something good. 27.5% of voting age adults voted for him. How many of them were serenaded by hollow promises and a good slogan. Perhaps all of the mud slinging and Russian media interference helped? If you add in our more studious teenagers, truly reformed felons, and immigrants who actually deserve a gold card, that number plummets to less than 25%. I won't ask people to wake up, if you are reading this you are already more than capable of finding out that I speak only the hard truth. This means less than a quarter of america wanted this. This means your vote and opinions DO count. I know it is incredibly difficult to reach for and find answers in a world where your president or primary candidate throws 'fake news' in your face on a regular basis. He is actually telling the truth. When he is not telling you is that he is a primary enabler of 'fake news'. To him, only his word is law, only his opinion matters, only he deserves to be on top, and he deserves authority over all of your lives. Do the right thing, we all have a civil duty to understand our candidates to the very best of our ability. When a man has been convicted of dozens of felonies, and we tell you that this is only what we were willing to expose. You may want start believing us. The genuine facts of his past are unilaterally corrupting to our children and good people alike. Do not let the american people repeat their mistakes, force Mr. Trump to atone for his mistakes. No not empower him to sweep them under the rug for the sake of his own arrogance, because that is exactly what he is doing by trying to dismantle the CIA and FBI. These two institutions are shining examples of America's pursuit of freedom and justice. Freedom to keep billionaires from corrupting the morals of our children. Freedom to know that the rule of law is immutable, our constitution is not just a paper with fancy traditional sentiment. Even if the law may sometimes be bent for the sake of decency, forgiveness, and the pursuit of 'united we stand', our constitution cannot. Amendments require the FULL support of nearly all Americans, not 27.5% of unrestricted adults.

Americans who are listening to\n\nCould you please tell your premier Trump\nTo quit referring to our PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU \nAs a Governor\n\nVERy DISRESPECTFUL\nBut than again it’s coming from the Biggest Dictator in the world\n\nGOD BLESS CANADA\nKEEP CANADA GREAT\nTHE GREATEST FREE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD \n✝️??✝️??✝️??✝️??

Trafis = taxes. Trump is rising taxes, causing inflation, recession. Trump is the greatest crook. USA has to stop Trump. Americans are the 1 st victim of trump. He is making himself, musk, zuckerberg and all the mega rich more rich.\nThe normal American will be working slave to the neo nazi trump regime. A convicted crook, cheated on every wife he got, a pirate, a bully without friends. He is a low life. Vance a guy with colored hair and eyeliner, looks all the time like is is being potty trained .\nTrump got no deal with Putin. Putin does not listen to trump. It is a bluff. Trump is as bad as Putin. He is only interested to exploid Ukraine. \nAmericans you have to fight your worst and \n# 1enemy = trump and his boot lickers = neo nazis. The longer you wait, the more american families, veterans, economy, jobs have to suffer. Trup has no respect for Great Britain. He only would have liked to get his hands on the late Queens juwels.

canada lost its greatest Allie not the USA

TRUMP IS THE GREATEST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY

American should wake up and realize that Trump is only for Trump and his rich friends.\nTrump wants to go down in history as one of the greatest presidents. Trump is only worried about Trump, and Trump only ? ? ? ? ? ?

Back to the movie scene, is America the greatest country in the world?

It’s been said for years ever since trump stepped into politics. trump is Americas greatest security threat and the worst president ever

Donvict, The “Greatest Businessman” who bankrupted 3 casinos and lost over $1B in 10 years.\nMAGA: Make Russia Great Again. (FYI: Abbreviations doesn't matter to Donvict supporters...most can't spell)

The issue is trump is a sociopath. He will never do what us right for the USA or anyone else..it's why no one can negotiate with him. But also how he has become Russias greatest assest in the history of the USA, the actual president. He will toss all of the USA under the bus

We’ve been to war with Canada and we’ve been to war with Mexico. We have not been to war with China or Russia. Not sure who are greatest friends really are.

Chuck Zito, the former head of Hells Angels thinks his longtime friend, Donald Trump is greatest president America ever had. He attended Trump's court hearing. To stop drug trafficking, you have to investigate money laundering. I'm not sure how committed Donald is to this important aspect of the war against fentanyl.

I find it particularly effective that Canada is focusing on red state America. Kentucky alcohol is just one example. Prime Minister Trudeau is also targeting those issues that they can most effectively respond, like electricity in the norther tier, LNG (shifting to EU). Trump is screwing over our closest and greatest allies, in deference to Putin, a war criminal.

Trump stays true to his name and trumped America in oblivion. We’re here at the end, when the greatest empire has to fail, just like all the great empires before ours.

Trump is in the process of destablizing the greatest trade relationships in world history, while he angers at least half of his own citizens. This all being done while turning on a country that was our allie until January of 2025. Now he has cut off aid to Ukraine, setting the stage for their defeat. Trump now carries responsibility for the possibllty Ukraine will lose the war. Trump's legacy in history will be of the greatest looser and worst president in the history of the United States of America.

Prime Minister Trudeau is boldly hitting the nails on the head, and I admire his boldness and honesty as I've always admired Canada and its peoples. Trump is in the back pocket of the Russian dictator. His actions prove it to my satisfaction. Canada has been a staunch friend of the US, a real partner not just for economic benefits for both countries but for a democratic way of life. Canada is a strong democracy whose people are known for their open hearts and minds. I pray that this idiotic trade war started by a man who is subservient to Putin will come to an end. I say to Canadians, let us stick to our common values of democracy, free expression, peaceful borders, and our commitment to the greatest good of the many rather than the greatest good of the few and the Russian dictator.

It only makes sense to Putin who has Trump destroying the USA. His greatest dream next to reviving the Soviet Empire.

You calling him “Donald” is a declaration of war. You were supposed to say something like “your excellency greatest president in history of the world Donald Trump”

God Bless Donald Trump !! The Greatest President Ever !!! KEEP THE TARIFF’S UP !!! They had a choice and they chose to Do Nothing !!!

My greatest respect to Canadas Prime Minister. He spoke out. I wish european politicians would use such a clear language.

I don’t really understand why we placed tariffs on Canada of all places. Maybe because Trudeau is a corrupt pushover? I don’t think that’s a reason to punish all Canadians, you guys have truly been our greatest ally ~and American Infantry Veteran

You really really have no idea what your doing when you've pissed off Canada , for the love of God if there is any real Americans left stand up and say no to this reality show that exsits in the mad man's head.\nHundreds of years to become a great country ....one man and his dog is breaking it apart in a matter of weeks. Running a country is not the same as a business , it will be the greatest error ever in mankind.

Trumps own words, “Vote for me, you will never have to vote again!” \nThis one is showing up on several pages. Make up your own mind. \nThere is something rancid in America, a slow, creeping rot that smells like cold McDonald’s fries, aerosol hairspray, and the unmistakable musk of a country too sedated to recognize its own hostage situation. For years, the idea that Donald Trump was compromised by Russia was dismissed as paranoid fantasy—just another wild-eyed conspiracy theory, another overblown headline in the endless saga of American political dysfunction. \nBut now, two former Soviet intelligence officers—Alnur Mussayev and Yuri Shvets—are saying it outright: Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987, groomed as an asset, and remains under Russian control to this day. \nAnd the worst part? He’s already back in the White House. \nThat’s right, America. You did it. You walked face-first into the banana peel of history, slipped, and fell straight into the arms of Vladimir Putin. Trump was kicked out in 2020, spent four years plotting his comeback, and now he’s returned, like a bloated, orange cockroach that just won’t die. The Kremlin’s favorite stooge is running the country again, and this time, he knows exactly how to stay in power. \nIf you think this is just another round of the Trump Show, you’re not paying attention. This isn’t politics anymore. This is treason. This is foreign subversion. This is a God forsaken coup in slow motion. \nLet’s break it down, nice and simple. \nAlnur Mussayev isn’t some Twitter conspiracy theorist with a tinfoil hat and a podcast. He’s the former head of Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee, which means he knows exactly how Russian intelligence works—because he was part of the system. And what he’s saying should make every American’s blood run cold. \nAccording to Mussayev, Trump was identified, recruited, and compromised by the KGB in 1987 during his first trip to Moscow. They saw him for what he was: a narcissistic, greedy, attention-starved buffoon who could be easily manipulated. The KGB flattered him, promised him business deals, and planted the seeds of political ambition in his empty little head. And from that moment on, he was their man. \nBut Mussayev isn’t alone. Former KGB major Yuri Shvets said the exact same thing in 2021: Trump was cultivated by Soviet intelligence because he was an easy mark—too stupid to realize he was being played, too egotistical to care. They saw him as a useful idiot—a man who could one day be nudged into power, a walking, talking Trojan Horse for Russian interests. \nAnd now? The plan has worked. Trump spent four years in office weakening America from within, got booted out, and now he’s back for round two. \nIf you had told the American public in 1962 that a Soviet-backed asset would one day sit in the White House, they would have burned Washington to the ground before letting it happen. But today? Nobody seems to care. \nThe media treats this like just another wacky subplot in the never-ending Trump reality show. Congress is too busy fighting over meaningless culture war nonsense to do anything about it. And the American public? Exhausted. Numb. Checked out. Years of scandals—Russia collusion, Ukraine blackmail, classified documents, tax fraud, sexual assault, an attempted coup—have fried the country’s brain like an overcooked steak at Mar-a-Lago. \nTrump has done the impossible. He has committed so many crimes, so openly, so brazenly, that none of them matter anymore. \nAnd now, with Mussayev’s revelation that Trump is an active foreign asset, we have finally reached the point where the biggest political scandal in American history is met with a collective shrug. \nThis is how democracy dies—not with a bang, but with a goddamn eye-roll. \nThis is the part where the skeptics start clutching their pearls. “Oh, come on,” they say. “If Trump were really a Russian asset, wouldn’t there be more proof?” \nTo which I say: Are you blind, or just willfully stupid? \nLet’s go through the evidence, shall we? \nTrump spent his entire first term doing exactly what Russia wanted. He attacked NATO, calling it “obsolete” and threatening to pull the U.S. out. He tried to blackmail Ukraine into manufacturing dirt on Joe Biden, because weakening Ukraine helps one man and one man only: Vladimir Putin. He pulled U.S. troops out of Syria, handing power over to Russian forces. He picked fights with Canada and Europe while cozying up to dictators. \nEven now, in his second term, he is more openly pro-Putin than ever. He has made it clear that he will not protect NATO allies from Russian aggression. He is actively dismantling America’s alliances, just as Russia planned. And while Americans scream at each other over whether Target should sell rainbow t-shirts, Trump is quietly selling the country to the Kremlin. \nAt some point, you have to stop calling it a coincidence and start calling it what it is: treason. \nThe United States is running out of time. If Trump serves out this term without being removed, America as a functioning democracy is finished. \nThe media needs to wake up. Enough with the “Trump fatigue” excuse. This is not just another scandal—this is the single greatest infiltration of American power in history. Journalists need to dig into Mussayev’s claims, demand declassification of intelligence files, and treat this like the national emergency that it is. \nCongress needs to subpoena Mussayev immediately. His testimony must be public, and every document he has should be reviewed. If there is proof that Trump has been compromised since the 1980s, the American people need to know. \nThe Justice Department needs to stop pretending that Trump is just another politician. If there is evidence that the sitting president of the United States is working in Russia’s interests, he must be removed from office and prosecuted for espionage. \nAnd the American public? You have one last chance. This is not about Republican vs. Democrat. This is not about taxes, gas prices, or whatever nonsense outrage is dominating the news today. This is about whether the United States remains a sovereign nation, or if we spend the rest of the century as a Russian client state with a golf course. \nThe sheer volume of Trump's corruption, the blatant nature of his crimes, the mountain of evidence that should have ended his political career a hundred times over—none of it mattered. He survived it all, not because he was innocent, but because he drowned the country in so much scandal that nothing stuck. \nBut this time, it’s different. If Mussayev and Shvets are right, this isn’t just another chapter in the endless Trump circus. This is the culmination of a decades-long Russian intelligence operation to install an asset in the White House. \nThere is no coming back from this. If America lets Trump serve out this term without removing him, then the United States as a democratic republic is finished. The country won’t collapse overnight. There won’t be tanks in the streets. Instead, the destruction of democracy will happen in slow motion—buried under lawsuits, propaganda, and corruption so blatant that people stop caring. \nIf America lets this happen—if Trump is allowed to complete his mission—then Putin wins. The West crumbles. And the people who could have stopped it will look back, years from now, and wonder how they let it happen. \nGood night, and good luck. Because if people don’t wake up, America is going to sleepwalk straight into its own funeral.

People of goodwill around the world support the strong president and great peacemaker Donald J. Trump ??! This person has a great will to establish peace and goodness! A person and president who deserves the greatest award in the history of humanity! Right now, it is only the first steps, but very soon everyone will realize this! \nGod's blessing!

Putin…. Hmm\nShould I wage a full scaled war against my arch enemy.\nOr… get two bimbos a camcorder,1.5 shots of Stolichnaya and a puffed up idiot.\nEvil genius + evil imbecil.\nHasn’t fired a single bullet and tearing down his greatest foe

We are all quietly watching and witnessing this virus named trump little by little devour the greatest country in the world.

? I make the greatest deals ?

I'm from the USA, and I stand with Canada. There are far too many ignorant Americans who have taken everything for granted. They have no idea how much we depend on our allies and partners across the globe. It's time for America to learn that we are not the mightiest, or the greatest if we stand alone.

As an Australian I stand with Canada as a British Commonwealth nation and a respected ally. Trump wants to mark his leadership as the “Greatest US president” by annexing Canada and Mexico. This is USA risking WWIII to enrich Trump and his sycophants with oil, minerals and weapons sale.

This is how a GREAT LEADER of the GREATEST FREEDOM WORLD should act!

Trump should thank his lucky stars that Justin is not like his dad who was one of Canada's greatest PM's & he did not take in BS. from anyone in fact if Justin was like his dad the bleep button would get worn out & in person the secret service would half to pull them a part because there would be fight .

Good and reasonable points but it seems to be that you sound too aggressive and pushing while speaking to His Royal Majesty, the Greatest and the Magnificent, Tremendous White Thunder of the Universe Donaldinho Trumpet the 1st, the Great and Untouchable Leader of Trumponian Empire.

President Trump will go down in history as the greatest president of all time.

Yes, Canada is the greatest country in the world worth to fight for❤

Donald trump is the greatest threat to the republic in its existence.

The greatest and smartest Prime Minister of Canada ❤ Justine Trudeau❤

NOT the greatest country in the world

I find this speech has caused me to re-evaluate Justine Trudeau - he has become the statesman we always hoped he could be and he stated clearly Canada will retaliate for this incomprehensible attack on the greatest trading partner the US has.

Trump has managed to pull off the greatest con job in the world by getting into the White House...twice.

Déjà vu anyone?! \nOn March 15, 1939, Hitler summoned Emil Hácha, the president of Czechoslovakia, to Berlin. \nAs he entered the Reich Chancellery, Hácha was ordered to sign a document accepting the occupation of Bohemia and Moravia by German troops. In the room, Goering added that – if he did not sign – Prague would be bombed by the Luftwaffe, which was in position and awaiting orders. \nStunned by Hitler’s presence and his yelling, Hácha had a heart attack; he was quickly given an injection that brought him back to life and, with what strength he had left, he signed. \nThen, waving the document hysterically, Hitler told his two secretaries, Christa Schroeder and Gerda Daranowski: “This is the happiest day of my life. What some have struggled in vain to achieve for centuries, I was fortunate enough to achieve immediately: the unification of the Czech Republic with the Reich. Hácha signed the agreement. I will always be remembered as the greatest German in history.” \nThe scene is recounted by Ian Kershaw, in his biography of Hitler. \nTwo hours later, the German army was crossing the border into Czechoslovakia. \nHácha was arrested in 1945, after the liberation, and convicted of collaborationism. \nHe did not get to serve any years in prison; he died a few weeks later, in June 1945.

The thing is, the Kremlin is pulling in their chits from one of their greatest asset acquisitions ever. Trump wants to destroy the US, not make it better.

trudeau is the most corrupted PM in Canadian History. He is solely responsible for destroying Canada. A Marxist dictator. President Trump is the greatest leader in the free world. Unmatched

But Americans voted for this, they love King Trump, the messiah, the economic genius. He's going to make USA the greatest at everything. ????????????? Normal folk reckon he's a two bit dickhead.

Respect to Canada and Mexico greatest leaders !!!!!!!!!

As a Canadian my personal politics may not always be in line with other citizens of the world, however I can respectfully agree to disagree, allowing more dialogue and discussion to continue in order to reach an agreeable compromise to find the best winning formula for all concerned. \nI have watched and listened to many American politicians from John F Kennedy to Joe Bidden, to leaders like Marin Luther King, Malcolm X, Bernie Saunders, all have something in common, respect, decorum, world knowledge, integrity, truth, honesty, honour, and heart. \nStrength is when you are able to reach out to lift someone up not to knock them down. Even the greatest professional boxers know the difference of being humble and kind when there advisory is in trouble. \nFor the first time in the history of your country you have a bully, narcissist and pathological liar, who is vulgar and unpolished as a man, father and as the President of your nation.\nI have seen our own Canadian leaders, make mistakes, stumble and fail, however they displayed grace and admitted to their shortcomings.\nI have never seen a world leader be obsessed with things such as plastic straws, pennies, flushing toilets, Hannibal Lecter, Arnold Palmer's manhood, a leader who's completely obsessed with selling souvenir and bubbles while his citizens are homeless, hungry, jobless, with runaway inflation so that something as simple as a dozen eggs are now a luxury item. \n\nYou have a president who spends millions of dollars so that he can play golf at one of his own properties, meanwhile his country is neglected. \nA brief look at his past record the pandemic under his watchful eye would have you drink bleach as a cure as many died and billionaires increased their combined wealth by trillions of dollars while the middle class and poor suffered. \nThe opioid crisis was settled under his watch which let Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family avoid jail time for committing the death and destruction of millions of lives in America. Yet Donald Trump is obsessed with the drug cartels in other countries yet he overlooks those terrorist in his own country. Is it because they are billionaires and potential cronies of his?\nRather than be completely obsessed with tariffs and creating the next disaster with his Trump Gaza Holocaust Resort, Your leader could be looking at fixing the country's infrastructure of roads, brides, tunnels, ensuring a healthy supply of drinking water, rail, housing for the homeless, affordable health care, affordable education, etc.\n\nDonald Trump is surrounded by his clowns is not just making a mockery of your country but is leading you into a very dark hole. \nThe shame and humiliation that Donald Trump has brought to your country since his inauguration will take years to correct if he is stopped now. If you the American people wait four years, WW Three will be here and it will take centuries to recover. \nTHE FUTURE IS NOW, NOT IN FOUR YEARS. AS AMERICANS YOU MUST BE WILLING TO ENSURE A TOMORROW FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.... UNDER THE CURRENT REGIME YOU ARE HEADED TO A DEAD END.

Thankfully, someone finally put them in their place ? where would you be without us USA has no natural resources the joke on y'all ? the greatest ?????
