Happy you said what it is. Trump in bed with Putin for personal business.

Trump loves dictatorships and has had their strategy explained to him personally by the three most successful ones (Putin, North Korea and China): \n1. Take over a party and make it compliant \n2. Get the media representatives with the highest reach on your side \n3. Start fights with your neighbors \n4. Drive your population into poverty \n5 Throw toilet paper into the crowds begging for help \n6. Receive their praises and you'll never have to be afraid of being re-elected again.

I admire you Prime Minister Trudeau! As a person from the U.S.A. I am ashamed that Trump has turned against us as citizens of this country and put the entire world at risk. Thank goodness I didn't vote for him!

Donald Trump has never shown that he's a smart person.

Look, I'm not going to say that Donald Trump is a Russian asset, but what I will say is that if I personally was a Russian asset, I'd be doing the exact same things that Donald Trump is doing. I'm sure that's just a strange coincidence.

I actually am a fan of trump and I think he’s a strong person who will stand for the country, but what he is doing with these tariffs are gonna have long lasting effects on our country company’s will raise prices on products to make up for loss profits and that will harm who? Yes it’ll harm us the consumers somebody really needs to sit down and talk with trump before he makes a poor decision, tariffs are very easy and quick to be put onto a country but taking away tariffs not so much

This is retribution to all Americans for not electing him in 2019. Trump IS that kind of person.

PROUD TO BE CANADIAN!!❤\nHaving said this, trying to speak to Trump like he's a normal person with intelligence and empathy is far beyond a lost cause.

We love you, Mr. Prime Minister ♥️ Trump is an EVIL, AWFUL person! Thank you for standing AGAINST him!!

I'm from India feel like Trump is like more of business dealer of selfish goals and objectives he's not at all people person to lead such powerful country like usa is at like joker and back steper as well although his make frendship wiy dictators whom along United States fout against just 21 century joker and dictator like a Hitler.?

The voters of Trump, have decided they would prefer a nation run by two dictators Putin and Trump. Make no doubt about it. They will crush this nation and steal all the treasury money and use it for their own personal gain. And at the same time, distroy all the citizens lives, including the voters of Trump, in the meantime.

From Germany, every sane person in the world stands with you. We stand with you. Fuck Trump.

As an American I stand with Canada. Don't let Trump dictate what Canada does, stick it to his ass. He won't be president forever and I feel bad for our next president that person is going have alot to fix and put back in place.

I never voted for this group of freaks, President musk is out of control, his aid and Colluder, Donald Trump and the Joker JD Vance their personal interest at heart and their own pockets, trillionaire their friends out and screw the rest of us for the people who voted for him in the United States. You also will be affected a man born a privilege and wealth had your back.

The prime minister should not call Trump a very smart person, but what he is in fact. A dump, arrogant, egocentric criminal. His constant lies need to be exposed and publically corrected. Maybe if enough people do this publically it will drive Trump so crazy and he will react so crazy, that even his most loyal minions will realize they will need to get rid of him!

The reason for this 'trade war' is not about 'trade'. It's about 'creating chaos' so that president Trump is the 'centre' of world attention. A malignant naracistic individual apparently cannot have anyone seemingly to be 'doing better' or being more successful than he is. Canada ?? is a very successful nation and because of its economic success it is creating envy and apparently hatred in certain individuals who view the success of Canada ?? as a threat to themselves. The USA now apparently cannot see the value of a strong and stable economy as its near neighbours. Thats why apparently there are some who now want to crash the Canadian economy and when times then 'get tough' the blame and responsibility for this chaos will be accepted by whom. Presidents and Prime Ministers come and go. Once their 'term is over' they simply 'walk away'. World leaders need to be men or women of integrity and honesty who 'do the right thing'. With 'great power' comes 'great responsibility'. You only 'give responsibility' to someone who has the wisdom and expertise and understanding in order to both 'hold' and 'govern' wisely and without fear or favor. Maybe its time for others in positions of authority in other institutions to step in and 'take control'. You would never let a child drive a super car on the highway so how much 'damage' has to happen before a world leader is not 'held to account' and his 'hands removed' from the steering wheel before there is a motor accident so large that the freeway is rendered unless and has to be totally shut down your. You cannot have total power in the hands of individuals who apparently do not possess the necessary skills knowledge and experience and wisdom that is required to fulfil the role they were elected to fulfil. A person with the mind and mentality of a child apparently is not a fit person to be running the economy of any nation. May Canada ?? remember its roots and may we all be thankful for true and honest leaders who have integrity and do and say the right thing. Thank you Mr Prime minister. I trust that King Charles III has heard what his Canadian prime minister has said and what he is doing with total integrity.

As a person who did not (!!!) vote for Mr. Trump, I am heartbroken to see our two countries in a trade war. My sympathies are for the American and Canadian families who will be sharply affected by this madness.

Not one person on the planet except Putin can trust Trump.

The reason for trumps behavior is an all personal EGO. He doesn't want to look bad in front of others, even if it means hurting the country and their people. Its a childish game on a large scale schoolyard. He doesn't care who gets hurt. As long as he wins. He's blinded by his behavior. Maybe thats why he's president the puppeteer knew what he was doing. Canada ??

we know you guys dont want this nor does us true Americans want it. trump wants this to pretend like hes a tough guy to make him feel like a man for a split second cause deep down he knows hes a disgusting person.

America is not your personal property [Donald Trump]

Nothing Trump does makes sense until you accept the reality that Trump serves only at the pleasure of Vladimir Putin. Nothing about trade wars and tariffs makes sense. Nothing about pulling out of NATO makes sense. Nothing about threats of invading our allies makes sense. Nothing about gutting our Federal government makes sense. Nothing about giving Elon Musk every American's personal information makes sense. Nothing about sharing intelligence and giving Russia access to sensitive national security material makes sense. Only when you consider what benefits Vladimir Putin does Donald Trump and MAGA make sense. JD Vance is now threatening Ukraine, demanding payback for American aid. There are no longer any checks and balances. We've been betrayed.

Trump is on a personal vendetta and he will stop at NOTHING from him satisfying his planet-sized ego and personal agenda

MAGA has lied to America...The only Golden Age is for Trump and Elon's Oligarchs....they are the only ones filling their pockets with tax brakes.\nThe normal person will have to pay higher prices \nsince the Trump's tariff are going to be added to the price of the goods.

For trump this is personal, he could give a crap about the USA, after all, he's getting us ready for handing the USA to his daddy trump.

Yeah for Canada, to hell with Donald Trump. He is the most stupid person to ever occupy the Oval Office. He is a total disgrace along with the entire new republican party, they are Nazi Germany resurrected. It is a disgrace what MAGA has done.

Greetings from UK, we are with you Canada. God bless you and the people who didn't vote for Trump. For those who did, who is responsible for all this un-American chaos? Utterly shameful, the world knew what a person Trump was, those of you who voted for him, you should have known better. May God help you in these trying times. Canada you have our support from the UK.

Trump is dumb. \nHis tariffs are dumb.\nTrump is a horrible person.\nTrump will fail because he is a failure.

Russia bailed out Trump after his bankruptcies so he owes them. Bannon is on record strategically arranging the turn of America from allies to Russia. Trump is selling out his citizens for personal gain.

@robertedward7023 \n\nServing the country doesn’t mean that you’re right. President Trump was not bullying Zelensky but Zelensky was disrespectful to our President. “You have nice oceans so you don’t feel it now but in the future you will feel it “ is what Zelenskyy stated. How can you speak against your President who has done nothing but look out for Americans to defend someone who would be so disrespectful to our country. Zelensky also stated that Americans will bleed for his country. Why would anyone defend this blatant hatred. President Trump has tried to give Zelensky what he needs not what he wants. All of these countries gather together to rally against POTUS because he won’t allow them to financially enslave Americans and use America as a personal piggy bank. Every single American who loves this country should have President Trumps back.

How did Trump win the guy is a idiot. From a person living in Germany thinking this must be a joke

Inflation is to the roof, Make food and housing affordable, please people just help impeach him, he is golfing while the american people are struggling everyday.... He is just trying to pass stupid laws that keep getting blocked by courts, Come on Trump supporters try helping fix it by calling your local office and impeach him, I bet anyone else is better than Trump, we know the country needs changes but we are still the biggest economy of the world the richest country, Why do we have to feel like is normal not to have affordable food and housing?? The basics of life... All the immigrants are gone, They even left by their own will, and Some Americans left to other countries, Mexico, Europe, Asia..... What do you guys want?? Having an empty country once was the biggest economy of the world?? Is just crazy even a blind person can see he is destroying the whole country..... He is not even a good business person we all know he didn't payed taxes, he went bankrupt so many times he knows how to scam people, Saying the USA government doesn't work because he feels like it, Just travel people so you can see the difference between usa government and other governments around the world........

As An American citizen I stand for righteous leadership and I stand with Canada, European allies and Mexico. Do what you have to do to protect your country your economy and your citizens. TRUMPSKI and his lap dog JD Vancekoff are ruining the United States of America!! They're not leaders, they're Russian assets, strongmen wannabe's and a scourge in the historical record of our nation. And all of the misled, under educated and misinformed folks who follow this man and his cult of personality have been lead astray by the propagandist on FOX News and right wing social channels and will pay for this just like the rest of us. Trump and his cronies are ONLY about enriching THEMSELVES and their friends and families. Not the working man and woman. Just the autocrats and oligarchs.

Anyone still backing Trump is either a delusional clown, seriously unwell, or trapped in a fantasy. Decades of American sacrifice—blood and sweat spilled across the world—wiped away by one clueless billionaire and his cronies, turning a superpower into their personal playground.

Trudeau sold out the Canadien people long ago with his personal greed, woke crap and using the environment as an excuse to tax the hell out of us. Now he has someone to blame (Trump). We need Pierre, a strong leader that will work with President Trump for a Strong North America. Canada + USA = Prosperity for all

Trump is doing all this for one person only, Putin. He is really putting on a show for Putin at American expense. Treasonous orange snake...

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!!!

Very strong and superb speech of Trudeau. Speaking like a true leader not like trump, who speaks like a person who is going through mental disorder and a puppet of Elon, who unfortunately holds a Canadian citizenship. Trump,Elon and Vance are the new Hitler working putin

This guy (Trump) is a FAILED BUSINESSMAN. All he’s trying to do is build up his own personal wealth brand.

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?

As an American I am with Canada and Truedau told it as it is !!! trump is an idiot, a bully a moron and only in this for his personal gain !!!! selfish B@$t@rd at the American and Canadian expense !!! !

This is insane were at war with Canada thanks to ALL The STUPID MAGA People Who Were Hell Bend Over in Hatred of Other Persons that have a Different color than you. Instead using common sense and do some actual research on these Clowns in the white house and checked out other media outlets that doesn't cater to your false egos and pride and false information from these habitual liars and fact xheck who is the truth teller and who is the liars and it all comes to Trump and his Criminal Clowns he has placed in Office

Got to love how Justin has to talk to Trump. Like a kid. We have done big things and you're a smart boy. Got to praise the cult leader to make him happy. I truly wish Justin was our president. What a great person and he speaks clearly and is smart. He isn't annoying or an idiot like trump. We truly live in the stupid timeline. Canada is going to get their items from Europe and Asia and South America. So congratulations America we are about to lose so much. Trump is making us weaker.

This is how a real strong person talks ?. Eat this dumb Trump!

As an American, I don’t support Trump and am embarrassed and ashamed these tariffs are happening. Not all Americans support Trump. Canada is still a friend and ally to me. Trump is a terrible, ignorant person.

A speech that actually makes sense. A whole speech dedicated to a single topic with complete sentences, delivering a clear message without personal insults or belittling. Something Vladimir Trump is incapable of. Almost like a parallel world/universe.

Thank you Canada. Maybe feeling Trump's policies directly will get into the heads of the selfish MAGA Americans and shake them free from their cult. Sadly, the welfare of their fellow Americans wasn't enough to vote for democracy, and now they will have to personally feel the pain. We, the defenders of democracy, will feel it too, but it's necessary to shake some sense into these idiots. This is years of Russian propaganda coming to fruition. Sorry Canada, I have voted against this, I have written and called my representatives, I have written and called politicians across the states begging them to stand up for us. I have gone to protests, I have done everything I can do while still remaining peaceful. Hopefully your country's justified retaliation can prevent the inevitable next step.\n\n-American progressive, USMC veteran, ally to Canada, Ukraine, and Europe.

Trump needs to jail prison this idiot stupid idiot Donald Trump is not smart person he’s a asshole

It's a pure disgrace to see what Trump's tariffs are doing to healthy relations with Canada and Mexico.\n\nWatching that deplorable play between Trump, Vance, and Zelensky was extremely disappointing and bankrupt of too much to get into here. \n\nMany were hopeful that a more conservative administration would put a stop to the considerable wokeness and far left agenda, however it's clear the Trump administration is about personal gain, control, and more elite power. What Trump's doing is NOT about survival/progress/peace, but absolute Hegemony! ❤??

While I didn't vote for Trump... The idea that this will hit Trump voters almost makes the financial suffering I may have to endure worth it. They will finally feel the consequences of their stupid choices on a personal level. This is the only thing that will speak to them. Thank you Justin Trudeau. I am not looking forward to this personally. But it's important that we as a nation face the consequences of our actions.
