Listening to Trudeau is like listening to a teacher. Listening to Trump is like listening to a toddler.

Emotional ... ? this is the first time im listening to Y.o.u.r ? speech !

Trudeau. On CNN giving a speech because no one in Canada cares to listen to him anymore. \nTrudeau, giving a masterclass in pompous posing and self importance in front of the cameras. \nTrudeau, a Zero's Hero! \nTrudeau, the 3 time blackface wearing semi-whiteboy champion of Multiculturism. \nTrudeau- Defender of Woman's rights!!- until you disagree and he throws you under the bus. Trudeau, a man's man! A ham's ham!! He is Justin Trudeau! \nTrudeau is the kind of guy that wakes up the entire family to let them know he's going to bed...

incompetent canadian politicians already trashed canada, canadians please dont listen to them

DUMB TRUMP I HOPE YOU ARE LISTENING BECAUSE YOU WILL BE IN THIS BY YOURSELF AND YOUR RACIST KLAN CONGRESS AND HOUSE REPUBLICIANS THAT SUCK UP TO YOU!!! NO GOOD DEED GOES UNDONE, AND LIKE ZELINSKY SAID, YOU WILL FEEL IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m a Canadian and this guy ‘Trudeau is a FAILURE’ he is supposed to be stepping down shortly. He is fake, he has made our country horrible, he imprisons his own people. He is evil, he is wicked. He should be put in prison for Life! He has broken so many laws it’s insane. The stupidity out of all these governments blows my mind. Time for grownups to run the show and actually keep their promises, and actually do what is right! Whatever you do do not listen to Trudeau he is evil(lover of Satan). I will spend my lifetime dealing with his failures. #trudeausucks #imprisonhim

Red state American, former Republican in recovery here. This is the only world leader I listened to today, and time well spent. Bring it like you're getting it, Canada. Decent America is with you. The better you fight back, the sooner we Americans can get our country back.

Why would you not listen to what he’s saying in French? He’s very likely not repeating what he said in English.

Not a Canadian here, I stand with Canada and Ukraine and to all countries who want peace and order. In just more than a month, I am just so so tired looking at Trump's grumpy face and listening to his rants. Not a gentleman at all. He is not bringing peace, he is stirring the world into chaos.

I HOPE TRUMP WATCHED AND LISTENED TO THIS , EVERY WORD . \nDonald Trump is a scoundrel . ?

I effectively spent a chunk of my childhood in America with relatives. I treasured these memories, but now all the feelings of wonder and happiness when thinking of my visits to America have faded. Now I just think of how selfish it was to sabotage Canada. American private equities want to rock our system and buy up all they can and so I am happy we are watching for this. I think Donald did this to try and buy up Canadian companies. This should be made illegal. I am willing to suffer for up to pull the plug on all resources and energy going to America “suddenly” do they have no time to adapt and collectively suffer. We even produce the ingredient you need for your nuclear weapons and otherwise need to get this from Russia. Canada has the ability to help our allies get nuclear weapons to protect against “America as our #1 enemy now”. Will we share too secret info with you when Trump clearly seems to be working with Russia? Putin dream for NATO to break down and now Trump ours that I to action . Trump wants everyone to spend money on military to fuel the American military industrial complex, something each and every huge tech company you have participated. You have essentially been taken over by a global entity that doesn’t care about democracy. We are going to manufacture our own weapons to have zero dependency on America. That makes no sense to buy weapons from the country threatening to invade you. \n\nHow will America feel to be totally alone in the global stage all under the power of one unstable man with multiple personality disorders. Trump things Putin is Americas friend and meanwhile in Russian media America spoken of as enemy number one. Meanwhile, America is 30% full of people with such little education in politics that they do not even know what is considered red flags to democracy. The 20% needed to shift will see the light once the worst man made intentional recession begins and the billionaires buy up 30% of your homes and buildings. Nothing at all will be outside of billionaire and corporate control and now all your data is in AI. how did all American value fall in just one month. Anyone not questioning this now, ai promise you is being blackmailed or is corrupt. \n\nThe bureaucracy prevents dictatorship. Now Trump is removing this. Just listen to project 2025. America is fully on track.

Why is Canada calling USA a friend? Listen to Kissinger will you?: To be a foe of USA may be dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal.

Whenever I listen to Trudeau, I feel asleep..

Great speech, Prime Minister Trudeau. Nuff said. Real Americans support you & are listening.

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!

How is it journalistic commentary to quote word for word what we just listened to?

Sorry, Trump does not care of past allies he is taking the US into a dictatorship. Just observing from Downunder the past few days shows clearly the tyrrany of authoritarianism as Trump and the Maga cult are destroying Democracy and the US Constitution. Only Americans can stop this trajectory to save themselves and everyone from Putin. They Trump Musk Vance and Maga are a national and international disgrace and a threat to the world… please all stop this tragedy by a convicted felon and insurrectionist. Listen to Bernie Sanders.

He tried to appeal to him by calling him a “smart man” , he knows that may actually get Trump to listen, but man that must have been hard to actually say while keeping a straight face. ?

Trump Supporters will not listen to a word of this. They will suffer and believe Trump when he blames our plight on anything other than himself

One of the rare Trudeau’s speeches that’s worth listening to.

When are you people gonna learn? He does not care because he does not even listen to the courts.\n\nThe only thing he would listen to would be a direct threat to his life

Thanks for using small words when addressing Trump directly, not like the arrogant clown will listen, but it was nice to use dumbed-down language so he might understand

Its like a deja vu moment. Trump tariff reminds me of Modi's demonetisation in India targeting black money. Both are good as spectacle for their voter base but will give more negative impacts for the voter themselves. Like Modi, Trump will start listening to the real experts after this other than his cheer leaders but he will never eccept the goof up and instead justify and praise himself.

Listen, Canada, if you don’t want that smart hunk, we’ll take him in the U S.

Trump is a good man, dont listen to this Communist dictator.

I would NEVER, I repeat NEVER put any value in what Trudeau has to say about anything! Isn’t he the pot calling the kettle black. I believe when truckers had something to say was it not Trudeau who instead of listening to his citizens did he not freeze truckers personal bank accounts. Doesn’t he alway have his hand in the cookie jar. He gets an A for effort but to wage war financially or physically with America will be the single worst knee jerk reaction anyone has made. America isn’t trying to wage a war. Our purpose is to get as many countries off of our nipple as possible. We pay so much as citizens. Hopefully Trudeau changes his thought process.

Lovely to listen to a lovely intelligence man also vey nice normal to loot at no fake there

He quit so he doesn’t represent me and my country. I can’t wait till we no longer have to listen to him. Canada is a crippled government. It doesn’t have a government the people want. The USA president is attacking us when we aren’t functioning art full strength. That’s unfair tactics.

Hope Trump doesn't listen to Andrew Tate pushing him to make this decision.

Listen, the numbers don’t look good for Canada. America have the resources to withstand long term pains of tariff while Canada can only withstand a short term before a serious recession

?Nooo!????No?????????? what is he doing to us? Don’t listen to him. He’s crazy. ????? he’s trying to start a war we don’t want war please don’t listen to him????

They call him antichrist but to me that is crap,trump is the worst president who is making decisions foolishly n American love it bcoz they have no choice,they know they choose the worst person for leadership,this guy is using his ego n his mind in making decisions,leadership is a think of listening n acting accordance with the majority not by one's will,if one uses his knowledge, his knowledge can never suit the world,the computer is for the world but with people's mind,it is not working on its own.

I wish the news reporters would let us listen to what Trudeau is saying and stop interrupting and putting in their own 2 cents! Just let us listen to Trudeau's speech, and THEN throw in your 2 cents.

How many listened to this speech? ?

Trudeau's words would fall on deaf ears.... Trump only listens to Putin...

Can we just listen to Trudeau speak? Nope.

So refreshing listening to a head of state that sounds, speaks and acts like an adult and puts the interest of his country first. Canada ?? do what you have to. The idiot is stubborn and incorrigible and his cult members are no different. The indoctrination runs deep. Maybe lost jobs, no power/fuel, hunger pains, sticker shocker and depleted 401k accounts will register. Too bad more of us did not vote for common sense.\n\nOnly an idiot starts a war with “friends” and bend over for an enemy who’s using him as a tool to only enlarge his empire and weaken America. The executive part of his brain ? is severely compromised. \n\nGod help us all.

Hey CNN, shut up!,we're listening to JT!

I can't listen to this guy. What a disgrace to Canada.

Hey, morons at CNN, just because he’s speaking French doesn’t mean he was done talking. Listen to the translation and you’ll see he wasn’t just repeating himself you single language bigots.

Goddammit CNN, I don’t want to listen to Wolf, I wanted to listen to someone who had something to say. Just because Wolf doesn’t speak French doesn’t mean others don’t. Je voulais entendre Justin Trudeau.

Justin is a total embarrassment. Liar, too. Couldn't just secure the borders and reverse safe drug and soft on crime bs. Cant even listen to justin, every word can be proven otherwise.

Trudeau literally resigned in an overwhelming unpopular vote…. But sure we’ll listen to you! Im not saying what we’re doing is right. But you sir have done a lot of damage to Canada.

Hey listen… maga is an enemy of the American Republic.

Everything he says here was already said, it's just that some people don't want to listen or don't feel the need to know what's actually going on

Like listening to Fidel!!!❤

I almost forgot what it’s like to listen to a cogent speech from a world leader. No name calling, no yelling, no threats, no blaming others. \n\nJust a true leader.

I never liked Trudeau but he is 100% morally and economically correct on this. I don’t know if Trump listen to his advisors or they are too scared to tell him what he doesn’t want to hear.
