As an American I am disgusted and ashamed. This is not the end of the madness coming out of Trump's small, unpatriotic, destructive mind. Prime Minister Trudeau and President Zelensky did not roll over and let Trump bully them. Trump should look at these men as leaders, and stop playing with Putin's peter. Trump and Vance should resign immediately.

This is what a true leader looks like.

Haha I love Trudeau. A good leader. Eloquent in two languages. Young. Good looking. The opposite of “Thug Thump”. Where is JD hiding today?

I wish we had a smart, sane leader like this. Trump has made our country look stupid.

Hmm isn't that nice of you Trump now the Canadian leader is looking good to PUBLIC ?? props to you Trump

American supporters of Donald Trump. Stop, look, and listen to what you’re hearing here today. Are all the world leaders and people across the world wrong? What makes any of you think that Trump is right? Are you really willing to continue to stand with that man as he dismantles all relationships with allies and all fellow human beings who stand for democracy? Look at what he’s already been allowing Musk to do so far at this point in this country. The time has come to truly ask yourselves what you stand for and make the right choice

This is a leader Canada can be proud of, unfortunately look what we have in the United States. A complete disgrace

The Drug Fentanyl is coming into the USA because Americans want it to come in .\n. America would be better employed finding the reason for people to need this narcotic .Maybe it's because your . society is so unfair, maybe it's because you have so many people without money, possessions, education and opportunities . Maybe it's because you don't look after your sick and elderly and UNDERPRIVILEGED.. Trump should not blame other country's HE SHOULD ACT LIKE A REAL LEADER . And show leadership AND focused on improving the well-being of all citizens.

PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU - WHAT A REAL LEADER LOOKS LIKE. The big difference between Canada and the US is that the Canadian gov will be there to support it's people during this time and our White House will do NOTHING to help Americans -as a matter of fact they will treat us worse. TRUMP DID THIS - TRUMP HAS TO GO - before we lose everything we have worked for for over 200 years!!!

MAGA and maple MAGA. This is what a REAL LEADER LOOKS AND SOUNDS LIKE. Not like your orange criminal president who’s a coward…

Whatever leader Melania thinks is cute Trump hates. If Trudeau was a good-looking woman Trump would want to be best friends

An amazing speech. Stunning. This is what leader looks like.

That is what a real leader looks like

This is what a real strong and honest leader looks like! I wish he was the US president because Trump is an embarrassment

Canada showing unity looks like something that United States don't know about . He's proven he's a better leader than Trump will ever be in life

Trump is an asset of Vladimir Putin. When you look at who ultimately benefits from all the craziness because of Trump, it’s Putin. He is the benefactor of everything Trump is doing. We knew this a long time ago, he didn’t even want to peacefully transfer power, caused a riotous assault on the US capital, he has now given Putin everything when it comes to Ukraine, made a pathetic adolescent attempt to demonize Zelensky, and yet he still sits as the leader of the most power country in the world. He should be rotting in jail for the rest of his life. He has betrayed everything free democracies stand for.

To Americans in the comments saying they stand with us: Thank you, but your actions are more effective than a Youtube comment. Contact your local congressperson and make your view on this matter abundantly clear. The only ones who can stop Trump's lunacy are the American people themselves. I don't care if you voted or him or not, support most of what he says, or none of it, you can't support something like this which only hurts both of us, and you should not support your leader becomng Putin's favourite new 'pet.' \n\nGet your heads out of the clouds, look at a map and realize that we've always been right there, a good neighbour that never gives your trouble. Let's be friends again.

This is what a real leader looks like.

One man thinking about his own country and his own people has Canada begging pleading whining about it...Boo hoo! Lazy Canadian Politicians. Corrupt Crony leaders benefitting their FAMILY FRIENDS and Friends of friends, never bothered to stand Canada on its own 2 feet! TRUDEAU and his Cabinet top that list of scoundrels. Doug Ford, the chubby pillsbury man follows next and CORRUPT PENSION HOGGER JAGMEET SELLOUT SINGH , corrupt Expensive Watch Lover comes next.\nAnd look at them crying now. What a shameful circus these rascals are putting up. So much so as asking TRUMP to be banned from Canada...Thats SELLOUT JAGMEET SINGH's 3rd world politics 101.\n\nPS I am a Canadian...and an embarrassed one at that.

I guess it looks like that this will show the world who the fake leaders are and who exactly the true and worthy leaders are. At this crossing point exactly. It is going to show it all, to everyone. All you have to do it open your mind and your eyes and see. But after that! Let's make it last as Short As Possible!

I absolutely love this! An educated stance, Trump could learn something from him! This is what a leader looks like! Good for the people of Canada! Stand up to bullies, flight for your people! Trump is an idiot! I voted for Kamala!!

This is what a leader looks like.

What real leader ship looks and sounds like. Damn such a breath of fresh air. Instead of the ramble of a madman. I can’t believe that Americans will stand for this ?

This is what a real leader looks like! Love from ??

Look closely, America.....a leader who can speak full sentences ? ??❤️??

Americans are our friends, America is not. See you in a few years. Look for better leaders.

See, Donald? This is what a leader looks and sounds like

This is what a leader looks and sounds like.

Look at the stupid question you ask!!!\nMore to the point, WHY HASN’T the WORLD ? LEADERS DEMAND ISRAEL ?? REBUILD WHAT THEY DESTROYED AND STOP THE STEALING OF LAND IN THE WEST BANK AND THROUGHOUT ISRAEL ???????

India has most imagrants settling in Canada, Africans settled in Jamaica soon Canada will look more like India mutch like Jamaica looks like Africa. As long as imagrants are law biding that's growth. Shouldn't be bias and welcome imagrants. USA has Soo mutch land to offer only kamala Harris plan to open boarders more to India Pakistan failed. Trump like controlled boarders were Canada Trudeau welcomes imagrants from Pakistan, India. Trudeau's lust and lack of brains towards sinful same sex. God says in holly Bible in Leviticus same sex is sinful. Foreign countries imagrants flee to Canada and USA to practice sinful same sex. With crime increasing with imagrants stolen cars as shipped over seas, Canada has to deport all criminals and there whole family only then would imagrants be mindful knowing they'll get there whole family deported at this point its a joke biggest gold hesist at Toronto airport prime example besides imagrants on news always for crimes like crime theft, sexual crimes, fraud. Welcome to Canada were leaders are too bussy making corrupt deals for new highways, (Ford) Trudeau's biggest latest scam high speed rail from Toronto just to Quebec. Forcing every province pay for French scam of year stealing tax payers dollars from all province. Trudeau saying using Canadain steel only was to blindly fool Ontario to think Trudeau's saving jobs when fact is hese stealing tax payers money all across Canada for a French project that only Quebec wants so French can see CN TOWER,NIAGRA FALLS.

as a canadian citizen of over 70 years ....GO TRUMP.\nour present weak minded woke idot of a leader trudeau ,,,,has resigned .\nthis snowflake makes biden look like a genius .\ni would put justin on par with kamala in intelligence .

We literally have 5 million Indians in Ontario alone looking to get into the USA to live and work. They came here to get PR so they dont have to wait 20 years in india to get a work visa. With Canadian PR can get into the states in under 5 years. You guys are in deep trouble, not a single leader in Canada LIBS, CONS, NDP want to decrease immigration from India. There is very little to no checks to whos coming it. Trump and Musk not helping the situation with keeping the visa programs going. Should have Americans working American jobs, no one else.

BINGO, progressive (regressive) leaders hate America and their neo marxist socialism has sided with Islam to bring down the west. Their agenda: stage 1: Bring the blight. stage 2: Bring their ''remedy'' ie: sharia. Look at Europe where they don't even try to hide it, same loathing for their nations, same agenda, same ''remedy''

If India was having good leaders like they have in Malaysia, Singapore, Bruenei etc he would have had better treatment all this is because we have a leader like Narandera Modi and Amith Shah who has made India look shit

Trump harsh policies ( domestic n foreign) causing a lot of hardship n never ending unrest....it's like a guy/ leader ( eg Putin's Ukraine invasion) who like to '' no trouble but looking for trouble''..bring misery..

India is the traitor to the developing countries. India doesn't get respect because India keep bootlicking their former white colonial powers . How stxpid is that? Do you realise how low people look at you for doing that? \n?? You choose to impress the US government, the biggest bully of developing countries. Not intellignt at all. You choose to support Israel, a country created by the colonial power that raped your country poor. What's wrong with all of you ? Why do you hate China so much ? This sudden hate of China started after the closer relationship to the US and Israel. Well Israel and the US government doesn't even respect your leader. In fact, they don't like dark skin people. They only wants you as slaves

Very shameful to their respective President each country has a leader, why their people look hungry &desperate, are there country very poor?, no work,where is the tax money?, i think they should resign and give there cOUNtry to U.S.A, Pres. Trump is a great leader, & so with el salvador, & poland?????? .

Leaders need to look out for their own people like President Trump. Then people wouldn’t suffer so much

Get them out African leaders can look after them..

This is the look of freedom. This is the human spirit showing us that the will to live, to be free takes precedent over nationality, culture, etc. The United States NEVER stopped being an oasis in the world’s mind. It is an icon of breaking from from tyranny, oppression even if the USA doesn’t deserve that designation. Or, maybe the U.S. doesn’t belong to u.s. children if immigrants as we believe. Maybe, the U.S. really belongs to every tired and huddled mass yearning to be free. Who are we, Americans, to decide our legacy was over? Maybe, we ran into trouble when we forgot what we are, and why our own ancestors came here. The people of the world have spoken. We have no right to withhold safe refuge from those fleeing death and oppression. Instead of hanging with dictators, maybe our highest national “leader” should return to his original mantra of demanding other nations provide safety for their own, so that their own stop feeling the need to flee. This is the vast majority of migrants’ character. We can separate law breakers from the masses, without accusing the masses of criminality.

Look at North Korea, a leader similar to Trump, thinking his country is so amazing it’s able to be self sufficient. They are destitute. This is a bad, bad, bad economic choice Trump is making.

You can't retaliate an elephant's punch with a punch especially if you're just a gazelle in that forest. Look at what a leader's pride has done in Ukraine. Instead of trying to please the media travel and meet with Trump in person.

I dont like Trudeau but this is the Golden Opputuniry for Trudeau to Bounce BACK as a STRONG leader and if manages to pull up CANADA and humble TRUMP then he will become a HERO but looking at the Trudeau Past Records dealing with BIG Countries, it seems TRUMP will swallow him without WATER. All the BEST CANADA and Canadians

See what government corruption looks like. All the leaders set these policies but they sure aren’t the ones who have to deal with this.

Knee surgery comparison is a poor comparison. You chose self inflicted medical down time. The individual requiring knee surgery did not. You took down time because changing your gender identity was something you felt you needed, which isn't putting the service of your country first. I don't choose myself over my people - period. I don't believe that is the merit of a good leader. I don't believe the excellence in your skill set comes from an inability to establish personally what gender you want to be. Results in combat and protecting what's right in the air and on the battlefield have little to do with wanting to be a woman or a man. Get the job done, be a silent operator. It seems to me, that you care more about your gender than you do about your service to your country. I hope in the end, you get everything your heart desires. I truly do. But I hope you recognise that the world isn't fair. I don't think this piece by CNN is more important than covering what's going on in the lives of those suffering that need the air time more than this individual. Further more, the reporter - she just looks like an angry woman who isn't getting what she wants. She doesn't appear to be unbiased at all. It's not a good reflection for the CNN. I think fair reporting is fair, I also believe one should come across as unbiased when reporting fairly, here the reporter has failed to do so in my opinion. Out

Your average soldier is not going to respect a leader or want to follow a leader who used to be a man and is now a woman and Vice, versa! I agree with Trump and Crenshaw even though I don't Crenshaw. There is no room in the military for this BS. I served 10 years and this BS is nothing more than a huge distraction. You have people who were going in just to get the operations. They spend 4 years in the military changing gender on tax payers dime. Out of the whole 4 years they may be deployable for about 6 months and that ain't all at the same time. When I was in this stuff was not an issue! They were not allowed to join and neither were gays.\n\n Think about it everyone is so bent out of shape over sexual assault well if you take a couple of gay guys and put them in an infantry unit they are going to look at all those men the same way a straight guy would look at all the girls if he was dropped off in an all girls collage. Nothing but problems and issues the military doesn't need!!! Seen it first hand back then when it was not allowed. Incase no one noticed military recruitment is down to dangerous levels! Doesn't anyone wonder why??? This post is why. No one wants to be part of a wishy washy military. It's to easy to get hurt or killed when things are running normal! Throw all the gay and trans BS in there and it just F**ks up everything!\n\nSo for 4 years they are almost always on lite duty, they are getting paid and getting the operations then at the end of their enlistment they walk out of the military the opposite sex they came in with and the American taxpayer is hundreds of thousands of dollars down for every one of these fools!!! This is what the democrats did!!! Join the Army and change your sex on us!!!\nNo place in the military for these fools. I feel that anyone who wants to change their sex is mentally ill!!! I have no desire to change into a woman and if I did I would think something was wrong with me and go get help!!!

Military leader needs to meet his people where they are? Thats like the fire chief saying people want someone who looks like them to pull them out of burning building…

I have had 2 children in Canada, both being a cesarean birth, one head injury where I was in a coma for 3 months, total stay in hospital, 6 months, and had cancer treatment in hospital lasting 2 years, all while being a single father, raising my 2 girls, and I only paid my $58.00 healthcare premium paid 4 times a year, and nothing else. These hospital stays would have bankrupted me, 4 times over, if it happened in America. Until you start looking after ALL your people, you're 3rd world. Fact. Boot trump out, and put a real leader in charge, Kamala Harris. Become 1st world.

Gullible Gomers. Trump didn't invent deportations.Obama had more deportations than Trump. Biden sent planes of immigrants back to Colombia every couple of days. But they were in passenger planes, not military planes. That's all the Colombian president was complaining about. He wasn't refusing the deportees. \nBut then Trump does his little roleplay for you guys and threatens with tariffs, and you think he's some tough guy forcing Colombia to accept deportees. It's all PR stunts and propaganda to make the dear leader look tough.

Oh look - Trump being a leader , getting the job done . Just imagine - Trump wins the 2020 election - a secure border , almost zero illegals. Trump tells Putin the way it’s going to be , bullying him or otherwise , who cares - no Ukraine conflict - no million dead - no ruin of large parts of Eastern Ukraine , and a lot of scared , undertrained young Russian conscripts still alive . Just think , in 2020, Trump bullies Iran , a terrorist rogue state - he DOES NOT end their trade embargoes like Biden did , he does not gift them billions of dollars like Biden did , and he does NOT turn a blind eye to them breaching the limits placed on their nuclear program. The result - a broke Iran , no WMD, NOT selling Trillions of dollars worth of oil to China - and in no position to attack Israel via its proxies. Imagine that . Imagine then , the previously vibrant U.S oil and gas industry , making the U.S self-sufficient , not in the current position where the U.S is on it’s knees , begging the Saudis to sell supplies the U.S. THAT , is about to change. Like him or not -Trump gets it done . He was brokering peace deals in Ukraine and Palestine - even as Biden was authorising the firing of U.S missiles into Russia - you know just provoking some crazy megalomaniac to start a nuclear exchange . Pitiful Biden , weak , demented , corrupt and criminally irresponsible.
