This is what leadership sounds like, not the rambling narcissistic grumbling that comes out of the mouths of our American President and Republican elected officials.

We are like Anakin Skywalker- moving from the side of the good guys to the dark side. We seem to be aligning with the Axis of Evil...

This is Mr. Leader! Not like that orange powdered wreck.

Not for nothing this is what a real leader sounds like.

Well I must say I don't like the Liberals ,But he did a good speech and I agree with Trudeau....

No made up words or insults-- can we Americans even imagine this is what a real leader looks like? #FCKYOURVOTERSREMORSE

As an American I can say wholeheartedly, “Wow, so that’s what real leadership looks like!”\nMeanwhile, we’re stuck with Mr Orange… ?

Trudey is fake like CNN

Thank you PM Trudeau for speaking truth to power. We need more leaders like you in USA.

I like how he dumbed it down for Dictator Don.

Trumps probably upset because Melanie ‘really’ likes him (Trudeau) ?

An American being proud of being anti-American… CNN I never thought you would get this low, like your ratings.

To call that orange-faced parasite 'smart' is beyond laughable! It's hysterical!! He's the dumbest person in the room to be doing what he's doing!! Bullies aren't smart! That's why they bully!! The only thing drumpf is good at is bullying!! Canada doesn't back down from bullies!! We stand up to them!! If they want to fight dirty, we'll fight dirtier!! We don't like wars of any kind, but if we're pushed, WE WILL FIGHT BACK!!! What I find the saddest of all is that it's all us little guys on both sides of the border that are paying the price because of a narcissistic misogynistic megalomaniacal who's done nothing but spread hate and chaos everywhere he goes and his rich oligarchs who care more about money than they do about the workers who's labour helped make them rich!! If it wasn't for the little guy, they'd have NOTHING!! \n?? TRUE NORTH STRONG AND FREE!!\n? FOREVER!!

Prime Minister Trudeau is a real leader, calm, polite, intelligent and well spoken. Unfortunately, many americans do not see Donnie and vnace as real nor reasonable leaders.\n\nEdit: I truly hope that people like General Clark look really close at the inofrmation that came out that Donnie is actually a russia asset and groomed to have been for decades.

How come America can't have a President like this ???????????????????????????????????????/

And it wouldn't occur to anybody in the US to ask themselves WHY they stimulate this enormous Fentanyl trafficking and consumption? I mean let's get this straight - if they wouldn't consume Fentanyl like sweets there would not be a problem. So the problem is the US addiction rate and btw it's not the job of the rest of the world to f*cking to watch over US citizens like they are kids. Grow the fck up and deal with your problems instead of blaming others.

I guess Trudeau what to FAFO like Zelensky did. You don't win against Trump. Trudeau is back off like they all do. His country doesn't want or need his stupid ass. Now he's going call OUR PRESIDENT Donald?? Wrong move.

only if dumb trump can speak intelligently like this true leader from Canada. trump speak at grade school level. I am American and very embarrassed for our government.

Please leave already Trudeau we've had enough of your corruption and lies no one likes you.

Trump has been using fear mongering rants and exaggerations all along to get supporters to believe it. Biden had more illegals deported than Trump ever did. Biden had record jobs and record low unemployment. Trump's a SOCIOPATH and pathological liar who is now siding with Putin. Trump's Dismantled everything he can to create Chaos and will eventually say the protests require Martial Law. Trump's the Arsonist and the Firefighter. Trump wants Dominance like Putin and Xi Jinping, they're his Heroes. Get a clue and stop the INSANITY.

man, dont you wish we had a president like Trudeau.

Trudeau became a raly good politician.. confident. I like him, wish more were like that. Cheers to Canada from EU. Who would think US will side with Russia

only if dumb trump can speak intelligently like this true leader from Canada. trump speak at grade school level. I am American and very embarrassed for our government.

What a crock of shit. We pay 10\ntimes the tariffs on exports to Canada as they have paid the US. Now it’s an equal playing field and he’s whining and lying like he always does.

Fake title mass report get this shit removed, misinformation at its finest if Trudeau really wanted to say all this he would have done it when he met with Trump not cross his arms and feel offended like a snowflake

Trudeau what a loser. Treated half of his country like criminals. Exit stage left.

where was this when you did all this bs to your own people and ruined you economy, took all the guns and became an oligarch flying around costing your tax payers millions. we do not like you in America. you stepped down for a reason. MADE IN AMERICA. \n]

As a US citizen living in Australia I’m proud of you Canada. I spent a lot of time in Canada ?? beautiful people and a beautiful place. You don’t deserve to be treated like this.

I'm starting to like this Trudeau guy.

My government chose America 1st . \nLet’s see \nNone of that affects the basic American. \nIt only affects people like you .

Look at him, Donald Trump: \nTHIS man has got style, manners and intellect. This is exactly what a great statesman look like!\nGermany stands with Canada! ????♥️??

As an american....yes. Go after man baby trumpikov and JD blanche. Is this is boosting the liberals poll numbers. Democrats in the US could take note of what having a spine looks like.

Trudea along with our “democrats” is a communist moron who has driven his nation to ruin just like the dems are destroying the states they govern with their mass immigration and socialist policies, constant false propaganda they spew through fake news outlets they pay, like CNN to lie and manipulate the public for them. You all are complete failures.

Well, looks like the only people who truly suffer are you, me , Canadian people and Mexican people. Well done ?

This is what real leadership looks like Trump

Americans call your congress and express your disgust with Trump, Musk, Vance and their followers. I am ashamed Canada, Mexico, Ukraine that you are beinging treated like this.?

I wish we had leaders who led like this. Would a kind Canadian come kidnap me please? You don't have to keep me, but please get me out of here. ?\n\nIn all seriousness, I'm ashamed of my president AND my country. I'm thankful, tho, for those who are willing to stand up to the wannabe king. Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine - we're sorry and we're rooting for you!

This is what a classy, educated leader sounds like. Pity the orange slob and his VP will never match that.Trump is now alienating the free world and thrown his lot in with Putin.The question is…Why ?????

Trudeau the governor of Canada. Don’t be a cry baby, join USA and enjoy benefits like other US states.

Now, this looks and sounds like a balanced, intelligent, knowledgeable world leader. Good job, Canadians

Trudeau is a parasite and a danger to his country just like Trump is. Who cares what he’s gotta say

Do the Canadians like this guy? He claims Trump is lying when he himself is lying as he speaks.

Calling a narcissist like Trump a smart guy really shows who the smart guy is.

Stop calling them the closest friend. You guys sound like highschoolers just Duke it out.

If orange man is bad blame democrats...you ran terrible candidates. You also gave away money like candy and allowed every illegal here

Anti-Semitic Jew hater Trudeau has his work cut out for him. Trudeau will likely find some way to blame the Jews for the tariff problems.

Reporters keep saying that the deterioration of U.S. and Canada relationship is exactly what their adversaries want…. But they are getting this wrong. Trump and Putin are NOT adversaries! They are alleis! \nTrump is planning to do to his neighbors exactly what Putin is doing to Ukraine. The USA is now a dictatorship just like Russia.

Can Trump Become a Dictator Like Putin? \nTrump has authoritarian tendencies, but turning the U.S. into a full dictatorship like Putin’s Russia would be extremely difficult. Here’s why: \n1⃣ The U.S. Has Strong Institutional Barriers \nUnlike Russia, where Putin gradually dismantled democracy, the U.S. has checks and balances (Congress, courts, states, the military). \nTrump tried to challenge the system, but courts often ruled against him, showing that he doesn’t have full control. \nTo become a true dictator, he would need to take over the judicial system, military, and elections—none of which are fully in his hands. \n? Example: \nTrump lost multiple court cases on election fraud claims, proving he does not yet have absolute control. \n2⃣ He Lacks Full Control Over the Military & Law Enforcement \nPutin controls the Russian military and secret police, allowing him to silence opposition. \nIn the U.S., the military swears loyalty to the Constitution, not the president. \nTrump tried to use the military against protesters, but military leaders refused, signaling that they wouldn’t blindly follow him. \n? Example: \nOn Jan 6, 2021, Trump encouraged an attack on the Capitol, but the military did not intervene on his behalf. \n3⃣ American Democracy is Deeply Embedded in Culture \nUnlike Russia, where people are used to strongmen leaders, Americans are culturally resistant to dictatorship. \nU.S. citizens, journalists, and activists openly resist government overreach, making it harder for an authoritarian to rise. \nFree press and independent media make it difficult to spread unchecked propaganda the way Putin does in Russia. \n? Example: \nTrump was impeached twice, showing that Congress still holds power over the president. \n4⃣ Trump’s Path to Dictatorship Would Require More Control Over Elections \nPutin rigged elections, eliminated opponents, and rewrote laws to stay in power. \nTrump has tried to change voting laws and delegitimize elections, but the system still blocked him. \nIf Trump could fully control elections, he could remove opposition and rule indefinitely. \n? Example: \nHe’s trying to install loyalists in key election positions for 2024, but this does not guarantee full control. \n5⃣ Could He Still Try? Yes. Could He Succeed? Unlikely (For Now). \n✔ Trump has authoritarian instincts and wants more power. \n✔ He is trying to weaken institutions to increase control. \n✔ But the U.S. system makes dictatorship much harder than in Russia. \n✔ Unless he completely controls elections, the courts, and the military, he cannot rule like Putin.

As a stressed out American over this dumpster fire, I wish we had someone like Trudeau leading us

Jesus, it feels like Trump has been in power for a year, is this how he intends to make America great again? Now tyranny no longer needs to be camouflaged, diplomacy being replaced by exacerbated supremacy.
