I'm South African and I stand on the side of democracy and Ukraine and Palestine. we love maple syrup. Grew up watching canadian cartoons. We loath Trump and especially SA born Elon Musk for spreading lies about SA, for trying to take over gaza and supporting genocide/ apartheid in Israel

Why doesn't he censor trump and freeze his bank accounts like he does with Canadians? And like these fkn CNN clowns, lying all day every day ???

Someone asked: Why do so-called Christians think Donald Trump is some kind of savior that was appointed by GOD to save us all? Another person answered: Because of the total opposites in your statement. I am a conservative AND a believer. \nAnd that makes it so difficult for me to take Republicans serious. How in the world is it that those who profess to believe in GOD, claim to be Christians - and worship Trump? \nA self-confessed abuser of women (When you are rich, they let you do anything you want to)? \nA rapist. \nA thief (Think: Trump “University”) \nA man without respect for anyone (Think: “nick names.”) \nA liar (Think: My crowd was bigger than any ones) + 34,000 PROVEN lies more \nA hypocrite (The Two Corinthians) \nA cheater (Think: Two pregnant wives, both of whom he cheated) \nAn inciter of violence (Think: Fight like hell) \nIn no way does the man fit any concept of Christian character and yet, those who profess to be Christians think he is GOD-given??? GOD does at times allow evil leaders to be appointed over Nations as part of HIS ETERNAL PLAN in this World before the Creation of this World as in the case Egypt's Evil Pharaoh and Evil King Saul because Israel wanted a King instead of GOD'S Prophets such as Samuel directing them at the time of Israel's request.

Trump, Vance, and Elon are greedy sharks who would sell their own family for enough profit. It is the downfall of the USA. Stand up and fight for your rights ??.\nIt's an election fraud. You've been lied to by Trump every day and blinded by his pseudo-charismatic appeal and now you're waking up in a nightmare.

As an American, I am appalled by Trump’s actions. I, for one, agree that his reasons for imposing tariffs is a lie. I strongly disagree with his blatant disregard for America’s allies. There is NO justification for aligning the US with Putin. If he thinks Putin has our interests in mind, he is crazy! Before it’s too late, I hope that his cabinet, the house, and senate realize that they can no longer support a president who does not support our interests as a country.

Making a mistake by validating the BS lie via stating everything that Canada is doing against fentanyl. “Don’t wrestle with pigs, you both get dirty and the pig likes it”. \n\nDumb Americans don’t understand what 1.3 B $ border plan is, they don’t know if that is enough and you’re placing yourself in a position of 1) recognizing the problem as legitimate, and 2)“are you doing enough”. Call it for what it is, bullshit - It was never about safety and fentanyl was a lame unfounded excuse. Know your audience, don’t fall into the Trump trap and speak in simple terms.

Lol. He said Trump is smart. He lied and he knows it.

Hey trump the criminal liar putin suck ass liar who lied on ukraine on day one but thinks hes owed an apology for lieing on ukraine like the putin suck ass trump is

Brilliant speak from the Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau, absolutely brilliant. tRUMP will respond in his usual fashion...child like speaking ignorant and full of lies and praise for himself just watch. Is this what republicans voted for, trade wars with what were once strong allies, stripping Federal Departments that ensured well being for needed services. tRUMP and his administration this is a nightmare for not just the United States but the world.

Isn’t it funny that the majority of people do not agree with Trump the majority of people don’t want Trump to be president, but the Republicans manage to throw out enough votes and suppress enough votes to win because that’s the only way that they ever win oh and let’s not forget all the lies! The rest of us are just trapped here

Trump will run this country in the ground. Just like his failed casino, his university's, his failed buisness. This is all Trumps fault, stop candy coating it cnn rusian propaganda. Trump just plainly sucks when it comes to buisness. He was never successful, he is a grifter, a trust fund baby. He lied to you, and you fell for the scam. So deal with it. Kick him and putin vance out.

Who even cares what trump's 'response' is?? It'll just be more lies and propaganda, and we've heard it all before. I wouldn't waste my time. It's all about a cash-grab for him and Elon...that's what it's always all about...how can I grift money off my taxpayers and abuse my position of power for 4 years to do so. He's just a callous POS.

We know Trump lies like a cheap rug. Sorry President Trudeau. ????

The lying murderous dictator is Trudeau and Zelenski. As a Canadian I can say Trump owes us nothing. Our clowns in government disrespected America and this is what it is. They will only use the tariffs to screw us. Trumps will help America.

Trump is lying about tge drugs. It's all about the money for the tax cuts !!!!

We in America, would be blessed to have a leader of your stature, intelligence and integrity. We are embarrassed and sickened by trump's, deception, lies, theft and other criminal and injurious behaviors. We know that he is an evil, hateful and ignoranrt criminal.

Ohh CNN shows Trudeau that have the courage to contradict Trump while CNN anchors themselves are too spinless to give ONE opinion about the blatant lies he tells and even insinuate Zelensky should be to blame.\nKudos to Trudeau, shame on CNN.

We love Canada! We know that trump the traitor to Americans and Democracy started this horrible tariffs along with Americans losing jobs, Food is off the charts and the lies that trump tells has harmed our relations with European countries. All by him, the man who has been indicted in both criminal and civil law cases. We know that Canada shows honor in fighting back. If our spineless, cowardly republicans party would work for their constituents rather than for a criminal we would not be in This situation.

It doesn't matter what Canada or Mexico does, the Orange Moron in Chief will just make up another lie. He still thinks he's a corrupt New York City Developer. If I wasn't sure if Trump was a Russian asset before, I am pretty sure now. How stupid do you have to be to support this idiot.

Trudeau lied, he said Trump is smart.

That's a real speech. Not like the trumps erratic ramblings. Not filled with lies but with facts.

Trudeau is lying! Trump is NOT a very smart guy!?

Remind me again why Trudeau was forced to resign? Even NY Times investigative journalists recently explained how NAFTA worked against US interests and killed so much of our industry decades ago; almost the opposite of what was intended. Trade needs to be reformed across the board. It's also insulting the way other world leaders are now speaking directly to the American Public and lying to them as if they have our best interest in mind. World leaders are elected to defend the interests of their own people, many times they just look out for their own personal interest, but they are definitely not looking out for American interest. It is up to us. The world stage is a complicated transaction of this for that. That's life. Have you all forgot playing United Nations in high school? Trade needs to be renegotiated from significantly benefiting every other country but USA. Trump is trying to do that.

I'm from the UK and I stand with Canada. America should be absolutely ashamed of their president. Trump treats friendly countries like this, then rolls over and becomes nothing but Putin's little bitch. Trump is pathetic and Americans are disgraced by him and his lies.

Yes this weasel is the reason canada is in this predicament, Trudeau stopped pipelines from being built ,based on the lie of climate emergency, now he will shift the blame to Trump.

Hey America.... Remember when Trump said he would bring prices down on day one? That was just another lie! ?

Fantastic speech. Only one lie: I don't actually believe he thinks Trump is intelligent......

I'm french, And i swear I will boycott everything I may buy from USA in the next 4 years and I won't go in USA neither. Donald Trump is most shameful president I've ever seen in my life. But what is mind blowing for me is how so many people can fall for all those lies and hate maga are spreading every day. People don't want to deal with facts and reality anymore. This how a civilisation is falling. Thank you to President Trudeau for speaking the truth aloud.

Austria here. Trump himself is the biggest scam ever. He says „make America great again“ while isolating it, breaking with allies, constantly telling lies, cuddling Putin as he would be his best friend. In truth he is obviously a Russian allie.

Trump is just Dumb !\nIt has nothing to do with the drug fentanyl.\nTrump can lie to the Trumptards, but not the world.

Trudeau told 1 lie , he called trump smart , he is in fact as dumb as dog shit

Trump has the same qualities as Pootin: a lying murderous leader

Trump is such an idiot, and so are his followers. They are going to pay for this, not the Canadian government. Despite Trump and his clowns say it's not. Another one of their lies.

The current government only cares about their personal bank accounts; they want to destroy true Americans. Trump is not a true American; he is Putin's pet and will follow everything Putin wants. The people who follow Trump are his criminal gang, to fulfill Trump's dream that he is some great gangster. He is not a gangster, he's a con man, lying piece of crap. True Americans are disgusted at the very thought of him; we can't stand to see his face, hear his voice, or hear his name. The American government is destroyed because Trump is in the White House because the stupid people elected him.

Compare the quality of the American political administration and those of Canada and Europe. On one hand you have blaming sleepy Joe, rambling lies, claims of greatness and demeaning allies and on the other coherent fact based arguments. \n\nAmerica, Trump is the kiss of death for your country. You need to get him out of office, along with many of the surrounding sycophants.

As a Canadian, I repeat, it is not the US people we are retaliating against in this trade war. It is your current government under tRump, a lying criminal. Dear Lord save us all from this lying wolf-in-sheep's-clothing who is destroying so much.

Canada is not a state of the U.S.A., Canada is getting these tariffs as their leader is a socialist globalist, whose agenda is an enemy of the American people. Trump knows this and is starting to rol out the consequences. More lies from the globalist.

There’s a MAGA clown watching this right now shaking their head in disgust saying “what a evil demonic man, he is literally lying about everything he should be in jail for the rest of his life, Trump needs to take over Canada”

we have witnessed this before in the 1930s. Trump has lied to the American people. That's tyranny.

The POTUS does not know how to speak without bullying, lying, spewing misinformation. Trump does not like any country that is a Democracy.

Share this everywhere! To everyone see the truth first hand before Trump start spreading his lies as usual!!!

A couple of things.\n\n1. Great that he basically called Trump an idiot.\n2. He blew up Trump's lies about fentanyl coming in calimly and with facts.\n3. He did not call Trump 'President' when addressing him. He simply called him Donald. No title, no respect.\n\nNot a fan of Trudeau, but he was absolutely spot on with this. Go to hell, Donald Trump.

Give it to that lying ass Trump. He does nothing but lie, cheat and steal, and mislead the people for his own selfish gain.

He did say a lie. Donald Trump is NOT Smart

Attention Americans: Let's boycott Trump's speech (LIES) tonight! Turn off your TVs; don't listen! The evil tyrant lives for high ratings (such a leader)! Let's IGNORE him! Thank you (& TY P.M Trudeau for speaking w/candor & eloquence.)

I am so angry at Trump. He has gone against the friends of the U.S. and align himself with that lying murdering pig. I'm so Canada.?

He lied about 1 thing trump is nowhere near a smart guy

I voted for this get them Mr Trump.. we don't believe the lies anymore

Trump’s actions make me embarrassed to be an American. He does not represent who we are or what we believe. As far as I’m concerned, he is a rouge, traitorous, self serving, pathological lying cancer on our country and on the world.

American's your leader is feeding you lies. More drugs and guns travel north than going south to the US. He is fabricating an excuse. As for tariffs...in Trump's first term HE rewrote the North American free trade agreement and we had to agree to it. NOW he figures it isn't good enough?? American's...your leader is making your country a punch line to a bad joke.
