As a Trump supporter and a Trudeau detractor, it is becoming more obvious to me that this threat of tariffs has become Trumps way of bullying Canadians into becoming the 51st state. I also believe at the same time, Trudeau has finally grown a set of balls because he is on his way out. That being said, my respect for “Donald” is falling off. I have not lost respect for the American people but I have for current American policies…

If any good has come from the election of Donald Trump, is the fact that everybody is waking up, realizing we should get stronger and more united, becuase the US is not a trustworthy ally

Don't refer to him as Donald, refer to him as a FCKN FELON!!!!!

Well, Trudeau is wrong about a couple of things: first, Fentanyl for medical use is a good medication (e.g. in emergency rooms). and second, Donald Trump is NOT A SMART guy. He is an idiot. Otherwise Trudeau is spot on. Can the US have him and get rid of Tronald Dump?

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for standing up to Donald Trump

love how he only referred to him as Donald

Trudeau needs to cut all lithium to the States, that will hurt his puppet Musk. This isn’t what Trudeau or the world wants, but this is Donald Trump that has no reasoning.\nI live in the Uk and have respect for the Canadian prime minister.

The part that you people don't understand not to be rude. Donald has a mental illness. He's hurting his own USA people and he wants to be a DICTATOR! He wants to take the medical and food away from disabled. Poor people who does that. Only a mentally ill dictator. I could go on forever. I support Canada 100% and I'm very sorry but it's not going to change anything.

Kinda like that he called the Cheeto Donald. He’s no president of mine

Just for fun - please please - flip the power off during Donald's speech tonight. It would be so much fun to watch.

The sooner we Americans accept that Donald Trump is essentially batshit crazy and proceed to impeach the Orange Menace, the better off everyone in the world will be. Except of course, Russia. The more pressure great democracies as Canada exert upon Trump internationally, the more the U.S. economy (and Americans ourselves) will suffer. The more we Americans suffer, the more pressure will be exerted upon Trump domestically, and the more the U.S. Congress will bilaterally be pressured to impeach Trump. A lot of Canadians might not agree with me, but the Prime Minister is among the greatest democratic leaders of our time in contrast with the USA's new dictator-in-waiting. May God bless Canada and may God deliver the United States.

Good ? ? we all have to suffer, but stand up Canada. Do not walk away from this coward, Donald Trump.

Russians are in the OVAL OFFICE!!! Donald Trump is a traitor and a KBG Plant!! He was recruited by his first wife a KBG agent who was brought to the US in 1978. as part of a plot to break in to the NYC real estate market!!! The idea was to find a way to launder the increasing profits from Moscows drug and gambling operations!!! He has worked with the Russians for many years and is a personal friend of Putins!!! Russia has control of the US GOVERNMENT AND THEY ARE BUSY DESTROYING THE US ECONOMY AND DEMOCRACY!!! You might as well put Putin in charge!!! Hopefully they will arrest and IMPEACH Trump and his government, before it's too late to do anything!!!

Donald want to please poo-tin, and only him.

Nobody is talking about Donalds serious and extremely dangerous,progressive mental illness! Everything he is doing is symptomatic of this severe illness,yet he is treated with such respect by those,including the media,who are aware of his deteriorating condition... He SHOULD NOT be trusted with our nuclear codes!!! Remove him from office before it is too late!!!

Donald is negatively impacting Americans in many ways. I believe American tourism will suffer a lot this summer.

Every American that I've met , have been proud , polite and friendly. So who are the Americans that Donald Trump represents. Decency and common sense can't be bought.??

I applaud our Prime Minister for holding his ground amidst internal turmoils. It only takes a lost, uninformed person and misguided (?) person like Donald Trump, to sabotage the special relations between Canada and the U.S. \nMr. Trudeau, your eloquent speech depicts your patriotism and passion. And yes, these are the wise words of a a mature person who is firing up the patriotism as he leaves the office. Respect !Mr. Trudeau?

This isn’t’anti-Americanism’ how about anti-Canadian? As an American I can only say this breaks my heart that Donald continues to sever relationships with our nearest neighbors and Allie’s. How sad for all of us. Now tighten your belts America. This will hurt but Donald will tell you how great this is for everyone in his usual stupid bravado.

As a senior American, I am with Canada and what they are doing. We have a singular problem, Donald Trump. The secondary problem is Republicans \nHave no spine. We all pay for this idiot in our White House.

And truly scary thing is that no matter how Ukraine/Russia turns? out Donald will be able to rationalize how he was right and enough people will believe him. It's the beginning of all or nothing.

Donald trumpsky and comrade Vancsky are detirmed to destroy allies in favour of cosying up to Putin because Russia has something on trump that will come out and shock the world

Donald Dumb has no brain

Ya just do it already.. enough of the moving goal lines.. ? Donald \n?? We are all one here ??

Donald Dumb

He just called Donald, DUMB.

Donald and MAGA Republicans do not like facts. They like their alternative/lies/delusions. Uncovering and trying to understand anything based on facts is too difficult for their limited abilities .

Donald is causing problems around the world but the worst problems will be for the American people.

Trudeau is speaking extra slowly in order to make sure that chaos-Donald is cognitively able to comprehend his words.

From Ireland Well done we need all our leaders world wide to stand up to donald trump .\nI wish Canada well .

Make no mistake, Canada faces an existential threat in Trump. Trump has accomplished the normalization of lies such that he can lie about Canada to justify what he does. And many millions in the USA believe him. just like the victim blaming of Ukraine. Trudeau is right that Trump is intent on weakening us and i would add: along the way creating false pretext for coming in and “saving” us from our tyrannical and dangerous government. validating Russian behaviour where might makes right is part of the process for validating his expansionist goals. He will no doubt claim “nasty” Canadian behaviour like “Canadians are killing Americans by not doing enough on fentanyl” and that Trudeau calling him Donald is “unforgivable”. And all the lies will appeal to his base and justify Annexation. It has come to that

Say what you want about Donald Trump, at least he’s never seized/frozen American citizens bank accounts for going on strike. Can’t say the same for socialist dictator Trudeau. ?‍♂️

As an American I Understand and Respect your Decisions. You must Protect your Country and its People. At this time this Administration under America's Care. Cannot be Trusted! It has been laid bare for the Whole World to See? Donald Trump is in some way Beholding to Putin. Why else would He Cowar to a War Criminal over Working with Friends in Democracy ? It appears that this Administration under Donald Trump is working with and siding with a War Criminal with Criminal Intentions to Divide up The Spoils of the World after they do Everything to Destroy it.\nStand Strong Canada You are The Better of The World. Stand up for Right ,for Truths and for Democracy. We are all Depending on You now.\n??❤️

I actually want to disagree with Trudeau on something here.... Donald is not a smart man.

This could all be avoided if Trudeau would just stop insulting Donald's friend in the Kremlin.

President Donald Trump is listening to worried about Putin, he is listening for worry of the Russian people! ? HUMANITY

Protect from ALL enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC! Donald Trump is an enemy! I stand with Canada

Unfortunately, Donald and his buddies are very much on another path - not Democracy!\nThe people of this country deserve so much better and so do our fellow North Americans, the Canadians. Dear People. Please know that in the hearts of most Americans, you remain our trusted allies and friends. And please accept, from the people, our heartfelt apology that we failed to get the word out in time and get the vote out sufficiently to keep both countries safe.

ronald mc donald is a russian agent

Powerful speech by Trudeau! He did not mince words and addressed head-on calling out Trump! He called him Donald, not President Trump, no sugar-coating! This is a hallmark of a true and STRONG leader!

Trump's Speech: All He Heard Was Donald Is A Smart Guy

Prime Minister Trudeau, you are wrong about 1 thing. donald trump is not smart. he is a TOTAL dumbass! You were probably trying to compliment him since he only responds well to those who kiss his feet, but don't do it. We Americans know what he is, know this is ALL his doing and think Canada is great!

Donald Trump is a pathological, malevolent narcissist. That's all there is to him. He has successfully gaslighted the USA and has fanbases around the world. Flying monkeys around the globe feel empowered by just waving his flag. This will become much, much worse. May god be with us.

Donald and Vlad , what a double Act

Now i aint the smartest apple falling from the tree but aint nobway Donald doing all this to chase a ghost, nobody will ever be able to get rid of a drug produced by an unknown, this is a distraction to cover up something else

Not the United States, Donald Trump we don’t want it

Donald Hitler and Musky Hitler shit is destroying America deliberately !

This is not America, one man only Donald Trump. \nHe Turned on the same people who put him in power. And he's paving the way to be like Putin.

On view one of the worlds intelligent leaders - take note dippo donald???????

When you see Donald tell him the North remembers.
