Where are all the MAGA supporters??? This thread is too reasonable and level-headed. Well, I guess they are losing steam. Trump is a bully and an embarrassment on the world stage as far as this US citizen is concerned. Where is Elon Mush? I used to have some respect for Elon, but jumping in bed with Trump is a mistake Mush will come to regret. I guess I need to protect my retirement investment portfolio - I think Trump will decimate it by destabilizing the stock market's confidence like this. sigh...

Regards from Finland. We just joined Nato, seeking for friends and allies. This is where we are now. Biggest NATO country literally bullying everyone else BUT Russia. This is insanity.

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.

We apologize on behalf of the almost 50% voters who didn't vote for Agent Orange and the Nazi-saluting President Musk. We love Canada! Please get your centrifuges running because you won't need much enriched Uranium to scare off Daddy Putin and his lapdogs in the White House. You have the know how. The only way to stand up to bullies is to show them you are not frightened of them. God Bless You!

Wonderful to hear Canada's response to the bully Trump. President Trudeau response to global issues is measured, articulate and informed compared to the ignorant, bombastic self serving purposes of Donald Duck (AKA Donald Trump/ USA president) rants!!.\n Stand strong Canada, you have leverage (higher exports of power energies) to the US with your natural resources. In Ireland we recognize a huge differential between the morals of the USA versus Canada ( but some times get confused with the accents). I am with you Canada. Every best wish with your endeavors and thank you for supporting the EU.

I am sorry and embarrassed for what my country is doing, but please believe me that most of us are against the Orange baboon, he is an embarrassment to our country and a threat to the world. He is a bully and an asset to Russia.

Yea well trumps is doing the same to south Africa it's called bullying

Awesome! There were NO making faces, bullying, yelling, or temper tantrums. NO pointing fingers around the room, NO lip or mouth contortions, NO squinting or snake eyes at people. This is someone in control and a secure, mature, intelligent leader. PM Trudeau did us all proud. THANK YOU. MERC!

Please don’t say ‘they’. Say ‘Trump’. Most of us don’t want this either…. Most of us understand how stupid this and do not understand the thought process of this dictator that somehow got back into office over here. He is embarrassing, uneducated and will hurt our country with his ridiculous rhetoric, lack of vocabulary and bullying tactics with our allies. It is inconceivable for many of us. I appreciate your every word. I wish you weee our president. Please know ‘We the people’ on both sides of the border are going to hurt from Trump’s stupid unfathomable decisions. I hope you can look through and see past the people here or not on the side of the decisions being made and know that once Trump is out Office, we can establish our ties with you and continue with the friendship we’ve had for so long and create agreements to profit both countries and caused the least of services in the most stability for each other. It’s a shame for what is happening and completely unnecessary.

This is the result of bullying your good neighbor! Haist! Trump you'll gonna be trampled like a salt that loses saltness!

Trump think he can bully the Canadian. He’s will be surprised to learn that he is destroying his own country.

Truduhh is a liar, he bullied the truckers.

Please know that tRump does not represent the majority of true patriotic Americans. Not all Republicans are tRump cultists. We value our allies and we understand you standing up to a bully!

Canada! It may seem like it but we are not all ?!!!\nBullies are bullies until someone slaps the ? out of them. Your response is motivational to many who can’t believe the lunatics are running the asylum.

Dont be a weak bully Donald, be like Biff from Back to the Future.?

But that's not what Canada said when US imposed tariffs on China. You support and encourage the big bully earlier and now it is your turn.

Trump is a bully! Trump stinks!

From Ireland. From our history, my country does not like bullies. We stand with anyone who renounces The Great Orange One and his reality TV government. There are very few words to really describe how awful a human being he is. No diplomacy whatsoever. The Canadian prime minister has just shown the world how it is done to be a proper leader, and l sincerely hope other world leaders take note and do the same. .

Thank you, Mr. Trudeau. Some of us know what happened here by electing T-rump and saw this coming. Do as you must. We have a bully ignorant in the White House. Some day we'll recover our relationship. Godspeed upon you.

I support this. Do not back down to a bully

Trudeau reminds me of a third grader that just had his lunch money taken by one of the bullies in class. He then goes and tells his mommy he is going to kick the bullies a$$ as soon as a cow flys over the moon!

UNFORTUNATELY TRUMP IS ACTING AS A BULLY. \nHE IS A SMART GUY BUT THIS HURTS EVERYONE.

Trump scare to bully Putin. He only bully all US Allie’s

what a clear articulate speech what a speaker no lies no bullying no dictating. The American people were duped in their voting and now they will suffer.

It must be nice to have a president who presents themselves as being presidential as opposed to being a whiny bully.

trump and his gullible henchmen are all spoiled brats and bullies total idiots they are now puppets for russia

I respect Trudeu I cannot respect a bullying Trump. Stand united and strong Canada ??????

Please dont apologize to the Americans for this. We should be the ones to apologize for trump. He is an embarrassment and a foolish bully. Thank you for all your help in the past. Hopefully this resolves itself in the future.

Hi from Ireland, good for you Canada standing up to the bully ?

I’m a NEVER Trumper. A ?in a red state. Trump does not represent me nor my morals and convictions. I was physically ill watching him and his pup Vance absolutely bully President Zelenskyy. I’m sorry that this is what half of the country voted for. I’m disgusted that I had family and friends who refused to see him for who he is. I’m so sorry to all those who didn’t vote for him yet we will also be aligned with him. I greatly appreciate you Prime Minister Trudeau. Thank you to those in other countries that realize not all Americans wanted this. Not all Americans bowed a knee to him. Thank you for your kindness.

It's shocking that 'Donald' is becoming the norm. ?? Canada well done for standing up to a BULLY!! The US will become an isolated, 3rd world country not the leader of the world which it has ben since 1945! Such a shame.

Trump isn't even close to being smart. He's just a self-centered bully with a lot of resources, allowing him to manipulate people throughout his entire life.

Are fellow Americans friends and neighbors, the Americans people are very welcome to come to Canada as are close friends, the American jerk President Trump and his idiotics cabinet and their new alliance of alleys ARE NOT WELCOME TO OUR AND YOURS COUNTRY, sadly enough, you do not have a President, you have a BULLY IN AND A CRIMINAL AT BEST, TRYING TO RUIN THIS WORLD OF OURS, we all need to work together on getting this world of ours back together,

Good luck beating that tonight Trump. I can't wait to hear more bullying.

As an American, I couldn’t be more embarrassed to be one right now, and I couldn’t be more thankful to Canada for standing up to this disgusting bully of a so-called President we have here in the U.S.

It would be the US that is the bully that started the trade war\n\n\nI’m embarrassed

Very good Canada.stand up against a neighbor who is a bully and a fool.To americans,remove trump from office.he is destroying your country and the world.

Watch TRUMP LATER TONIGHT ONCE HE GOES LIVE.\nHe will again bash CANADA & MEXICO. LIKE THE BULLY TRUMP IS.\nHOPE HE GETS IMPEACHED.

Drug addicts will find some drug whatever it takes. The US should make their country livable for people if they wish to decrease drug abuse. Not that Trump actually cares about any common person, it's just a narrative to incite hate and engage in bullying.

Trump is a greedy, avaricious, bully who thinks he DESERVES a huge place in history. So he looks to the past and wants to be viewed as Washington or Lincoln by channeling Polk and Jackson. He is a narcistic psychopath with delusions of grandeur. He obliquely knows he's pushing 80 and time is ticking down ... he is desperate for acclaim.

Thumbs up to Canada . Strumepet is a crook don't let him bully you!

We are all seeing the fall of our country and democracy due to an incompetent wanna be dictator and bully!

Yes, please make that make sense! You supported the bully yet punished your peaceful neighbors.

Usa is acting like a selfish drunken bully

Trump is a liar and a vindictive bully. Shame on you Americans who voted for that creep.

As a Canadian, so proud of Prime Minister Trudeau! Go for it, hit America with huge tariffs! Bully trump and his lap dog should sit up and take note!!!!!!

I’m glad my uncles that fought in Europe against the Axis are not alive to see the American president trying to recreate it with Russia. \nCanadians, we stand with you against bullies, and are envious that you have a leader who is sane and cares about you.

We here in America need you Trudeau. Thanks for standing up to our bully. Stay strong❤

Sell your product to uk and EU simple don’t be bullied by the trump he’s trying to weaken you so he can propose a state for your country don’t deal with them sell your product to uk eu etc they can’t be trusted no more and I love America ?? and there people but this has gone terribly wrong now he’s in power and by the way I wanted trump to win but now he’s lost me ?

Now there's a real, respectable statesman. Not an ill-mannered narcissist and bully in a suit.\nThat was a great speach. I hope leaders in Europe take note. I hope our new administration takes note.\nCanada, you can be proud. Stand tall!\nSupport and best wishes from Germany
