I feel like crap being American due to it coming under dictatorship! We're about to lose our democracy. I imagine an exodus of Americans heading out of the madness. Let MAGA have it. We have had enough and we know it will get much, much worse!!! ?

Not once did he thank President Trump for the honor of living in America's 51'st state either... Imagine the nerve.. Right JD?

Sounds like all those Canadian tariffs will force industries back into the United States. Americans will definitely feel short term pain but I would imagine that long term, Canada will be the ones who suffer. ?

imagine if trump actually lives another 4 years? what will America look like? 3rd world waste land?

Imagine robbing the United States for years with unfair tariffs and then crying about making it fair by gaslighting Americans and Canadians by describing Trump's attempt at negotiating a peace deal and saving lives as appeasing a murderous dictator. Trudeau is a morally corrupt and cowardly piece of sht.

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

Imagine any Canadian wanting him to step down. Is disgraceful that he was made to step down.!! Imagine now, Poilievre in this leadership role. What a joke!

Wow, imagine a supportive talk like that from the (t)dump

American here. French Canadian ancestry. I’m so proud of Canada. I didn’t vote for Trump and can’t imagine why anyone did.

I can be wrong but It wouldn’t surprise me if this is not about the tariffs but a manipulation of the stock markets. Imagine trump reverses his decision again and the stock markets rises again im sure there will be some people who benefited from that #followthemoney

Can you imagine being such a small weak country like Canada and not just bend over backwards for a country that could make or break you. It's not 'right' but this is how the things work outside of fairytales.

All this because Poutine as something on Trump that he wants to make sure it never gets out. Not hard to imagine what. They always use projection against their ennemies. So just think what kind of accusation they are always making.

Imagine if ANY of our own politicians had the spine to say it like it is.

### **Americans, Wake Up Before It’s Too Late!** \n \nDo you realize what’s happening? **Donald Trump is pushing the world toward World War III.** This is not a conspiracy, this is not speculation—this is reality. A man who **wears two diapers and has little time left to live** doesn’t care what happens after he’s gone. He has no vision for the future, because in his mind, **there is no future.** \n \nThis is just the beginning. **If you think things are bad now, imagine what’s coming next.** Trump and his billionaire allies, including **Elon Musk**, are playing a dangerous game, one that could **end civilization as we know it.** These are not leaders—they are reckless, power-hungry individuals with no regard for the world that you and your children will inherit. \n \n? **Trump must be impeached before he takes us all down with him!** \n? **Musk must be held accountable before his reckless ambitions destroy what’s left of our planet!** \n \nThis is not about politics. This is about survival. **The future of humanity depends on our ability to stop them now!**

We are being run by a communist puppet of Putler laughing his head off in the kremlin and heaping praises on his KGB back 50 years ago for cherry picking Forest Dump and implementing everything their wildest dreams could imagine \nAnd watch next step you will see Russia will be supplying oil to USA and other eras resources they stole from Ukraine

Imagine Canada refusing to be a 51st state and Baby T throwing a 25 billion dollar tantrum.

imagine this guy lecturing anybody about anything? wasnt he freezing bank accounts and arresting people who didnt agree with him politically? his own party wants him out. the guy is a charlatan just like his buddy... the comedian in kiev

Greetings to Canada and the Canadian people. With this decision, you are exporting inflation and high prices to America, and the American citizen will feel it later, and then Trump will come to negotiate with Canada. Imagine if Europe applied the same principle. I almost swear that Trump will become a beggar in the political street for Canadians and Europeans.?

Trump compared to every last world leader isn’t even close. Imagine Trump sounding anything like this or speaking with such eloquence. Our President has to be the dumbest person on earth

Do you understand that Trump wants World War III? He wears two diapers and has very little time left to live. He doesn’t care if the world exists after him! Can you imagine that this is just the beginning? That he and Musk will do something so disastrous that our planet will simply cease to exist! impeach Trump and put Musk in jail!

Dumb Drumpf! So obsessed with fentanyl as an excuse for imposing tariffs on Canada -then tell me why did he release the America's kingpin from jail after serving less than 10 years after being handed down a sentence of 80 years! Max Butler was a master at drug dealings of any kind you could imagine making 1.2 billion dollars including 4-5 murders. This was cyber crime in the dark web used as a tool to commit these crimes which had eluded authorities. How many other people had died because of him. Now he's free!

Imagine a foreign president is the feeling for Americans

Wow. Imagine having a real leader instead of a bitter, selfish, authoritarian burning your whole country to the ground without any regard to 90% of the population.

Imagine having a real leader still

Imagine undermining a literal decades of working together just for the memes (which would really quickly become unfunny)

Imagine being such a malicious dumbass that you managed to unite every country against you. Kick Trump out of office, we're already tired of this bozo

Imagine having a leader that speaks multiple languages. Its almost as if there are those in your vast constituency that may relate to you more.

I'm really sorry for the US citizens to have now their worst president ever, and to be friend with (just imagine..) PUTIN !!\nStanding with Canada and Ukraine!

Imagine if Trudeau announced that he would be pausing the carbon tax on the Canadian people to help offset some of the costs imposed on us by the United States. Do I respect that he is standing up for Canadians...Yes! Is Donald foolish in creating a trade dispute between his closest friends and Allies...Yes! Who's going to suffer....everyone! Government screwing over the people continues as it always have.

I’m in Buffalo too Wolf, many of our independent shops import from Toronto. I could have never imagined a president of ours attacking our great neighbors in Canada. Trump has brought shame and hard times on us all.

WOW Treudeu nailed it. Wish they just joined our European union. Imagine the strenght. Does Donald know how much American companies are in ireland alone. 25% tariff on Intel, google, meta etc .. or maybe we hit it were it hurts him most, his precious golf course. ???

What s little weasel! He made this whole mess of Canada & now he wants to talk tough?? How dare you, yes YOU weasel followed Greta Thumberg like a little b that you are! Just go away you corrupt piece of huey, you've never done anything concrete in your life ,except bring Canada down, GO Trump, bring down this dictator, who's decided what we can watch, hear& see, & he's got the nerve to call out President Trump?? Thats too funny,& all those who stand with Ukraine, are you willing to send uour sons to war? Bet not,but you want someone else's child to go , imagine that !! Zelinsky is as corrupt at this idiot ( Trudeau, or Castro Jr.) But ya,go for it! Send YOUR child to fight this war,that will not ever end!!\nYa all make me sick!!

Imagine a candian prime minister speaking openly about hostile actions by americans and cnn calls it anti-americanism...

Imagine voting AGAINST your own interest…\n\nIf it wasn’t so stupid, it would actually be funny ????

I fled russia in 2008, but I could not imagine, even in my worst nightmare, that russia would catch me in 2024.

This is the type of speech hard to listen to, the type of speech you need to give to a country about to go war, make no mystake, thats what this is, and this is also the type of speech that shows who is and who is not fit for leadership, Trudeau you made mistakes when you were younger, but who didnt, but you sure matured to be a leader who can make people follow you from youre words alone, im glad we have a president in south america with such caracther on the side of reason and peace, with all the doomlike scenarios i conjure from seeying Trump pulling the USA to side with Russia and only imagine russia joining nazi germany just to get also screwed as soon as russia gets the chance and trump is clueless about it, youre speech eased my mind a bit, thank you and thank you to all the people of Canada

Imagine once being the country that so many allies and neighbors sought refuge in—only to become this. Damn. I wish we had a leader who could articulate himself this well or actually cared about humanity. Those of you who voted for this will soon see and feel the consequences of your actions. The truth is, Trump isn’t smart— and unfortunately, neither are most Americans.

Just imagine, but for a few bad actors, trump could now be in jail and have been in jail for over a year. Judge Alieen Cannon comes first to mind of those bad actors. It is hard to understand what she has got from it.

Wow, imagine having an adult to speak for your country.

He is a Democratic American. I really like this guy. Won’t I’ve always had a lot of respect for Canadians. They’re friendly. They’re nice people and don’t tell me to go live there. I’ll stay here and standby. My fellow Americans that don’t want tyranny. And I’m in my golden years and I had to see this. And I can’t imagine I just survived open heart surgery woke up during the surgery surgery and came out of it alive to be brought back back to what this is happening in my country.

Imagine if Trump could speak like this.

Thank you for your caring and concern. Canada is appreciated and loved by more Americans than you can imagine.

Imagine resigning.... closing parliament and then still making decisions.

Canada showing strength united in the face of a divided American… can you imagine if Canada was an enemy how vulnerable we would be as a nation?

Imagine a man who would not fight for his country talking down to a man for fighting for his.

Trump is a big mistake for American. After 4 years in office, US will regret voting Donald Trump.\nThis is not the way to make US great. Imagine putting fights in all ur allies. That is a wrong fight. Change ur useless policies or US will go down in history from great nation to isolated nation. No nation can suceed alone. America is great today because of other nations. Time will tell

Imagine having an intelligent leader.

This is a LOT of TALK for a man who ruined the Canadian economy with bliss. Yet no one is going to point that out since it doesn’t fit their agenda. Imagine having a 22% approval rating and trying to tell the US what they’re doing is wrong….

could you imagine what the men of your country will become when the leadership of your country is as soft as this man. No thanks Canada. This guy has sabotaged your country

I feel sorry for the intelligent and empathetic Americans who are watching the world revolt against the cantankerous old git in the White House. Imagine selling out to Russia snd offending all of your allies.
