From an American citizen, GIVE TRUMP HELL CANADA!!! Please make new trade partners and new alliances. Cut the US out and off completely. This is going to hurt Americans very badly, as you say. Trump is sick. He is a want to be dictator. He wants to be like Putin, and like Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, and Erdogan! This may very well be the end of American as world leader... This may be our very end.

Trudeau is correct. I am ashamed of our current usa government and its treatment of its closest allies. We are no longer the leader of the free world. \nUnder trump the usa seems to be siding with putin and disrespecting, victimizing and bullying our closest and best allies. He refers to trudeau as governor, inferring he will be governor if canada were to join the usa. Such childishness and immaturity from the leader of our country. Our allies will realign with other countries. The usa has lost the free worlds trust. It will take the usa 20 plus years to regain respect.\nTrudeau is extremely well spoken, calm and states facts. How different from president trump.

No winners in a trade war. No winners in a Trump America. \n\nCanadians should be proud of having a smart, wise, handsome, rational leader. Sadly, ours is the polar opposite, a bloated tragic excuse for a president. As one of MANY millions who voted for Kamala, we join Canadians in the fight against these ridiculous tariffs that Trump initiated. We're ashamed of him. This Trudeau speech is very very honorable and articulate and resolute.

Articulate, thoughtful, educated, emotional response. Something we will never get under Krasnov trump and maga cult. Thank you Canadian citizens for at least having an articulate leader.

Trudeau is a woke, no-good version of a modern dictator! Trump is a real leader! CNN keeps lying...

Why doesn't America have a responsible leader like Canada? Are we going to let our Country be run by Grifters and Greedy Con men? Take action TODAY! Americans make the choices. Not Insane fools by the name of Trump.

I sure miss having a leader who could speak coherently and eloquently when addressing the people. Trump needs to go!

Now we have the conspiracy against Trump from autside America\nThis is time to protect America as place of the west freedom even a lot of leaders are against freedom against Trump

Wow wow wow. Finally a leader that called Putin a murderous dictator and that America is now with Russia. Trump is a fool!

The insane megalomania driven felon as a self made serial lying King and insane draft dodging cowardly tyrant is orchestrating a criminal coup in Washington with his insane butt licking heritage 2025 ignorant human monsters as hand selected men defending his vices. Donald Trump and his criminal Vice President screamed, and bullied and demanded the complete acknowledgment of their greatness wanting peace accusing president Zelensky of starting world war III like high school imbeciles and bullies calling themselves diplomatic. \n\n\nThe truth is you and your criminal activities on the world stage and supporting genocide and American and Russian plunder, from an insane felon and felonious dishonest vice president in Washington orchestrating a coup and voting in the United Nations with Russia and North Korea are the most insane leaders in the Western world bring the world closer to world war III. You insane coup attempting cowards spouting Russian propaganda are certifiably insane MAGA criminals, \n\n\nIT is you morons destroying your own nation with an insane unstable dangerous serial lying not sane King.orchestrating a Texas Chainsaw massacre of workers lives. Orchestrating an insane heartless federal purge. A purge that has nothing to do with merit or their quality of work. You insane egregiously hate flled monsters, must wake up in the morning like insane mental patients, wondering how many lives you can destroy today tomorrow and in the future? You are the heartless insane sub human swamp monsters, not the workers.and it is you marching to world war III not president Zelensky.

The problem here isn't temporary. Tariffs may or may not be. But when Canada, Mexico, and other countries build alternate trade infrastructure and strike deals that exclude America, this becomes near irreversible and will hurt America's economy well after Trumps term. And that's just trade and economy.\n\nThen there are many relationships worldwide which are already affected, and world leaders are poised to move on without America - leaving it isolated. The US is the most powerful country in the world and can survive alone, but even so, no country flourishes without international partnerships that both parties can rely on. Like Putin, nobody can rely on Trumps word.\n\nHe is destroying everything. And the American public are largely sitting back and watching it. \n\nWake up before it's too late.

This is a true leader and statesman. Trump is dickhead

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.

Wow! Someone talking facts articulately….. Trump might like to take some lessons from world leaders! Trump is not a world leader!

Justin Trudeau is obviously a knowledgeable and communicative leader for Canada. Then we have Trump. ?. I am ashamed to be an American right now.

Trudeau you are a weak lying snake bending truth to your victim narrative. Trump put you on notice regarding tariffs and here we are. Do you think he is not a man of his word? Well you have now experienced that this is in fact the case first hand. You have taken from America with very little in return and these are the consequences of your woke agenda for Canada. Look at you spouting venom, dischord and anarchy from your pulpit. Trump is interested in econmic revival for America and if you are not on board you will fall by the wayside. Only smart leaders realise throwing insults at Trump will only weaken your countries position. Surely you realise Trump is one of the most persecuted people on the planet, unjustly so, and your rhetoric will fall on deaf ears in the whitehouse. They've heard all the nonsense before. But, continue throwing the insults, chuck your toys out the pram, if it makes you feel like a grownup. I don't fancy your chances though.

It would be such a statement if world leaders would stop wearing a suit when they go to talk to Trump. Man that would be something!

As a UK citizen living in Canada, I’ve seen how much the U.S. has damaged its relationship with Canada, and I don’t think things will ever be the same. I don’t even blame Trump—I blame the American people for electing a corrupt criminal.\n\nThe reality is, Americans are going to feel the consequences far more than Canadians. You’re the only NATO country without universal healthcare, your education system ranks among the worst in the developed world, worker protections are almost nonexistent, social security is severely lacking, and now, thanks to your election choice, you’ll be paying at least 25% more for groceries under a leader who’s steering the country toward authoritarianism.\n\nIt’s embarrassing. The world no longer revolves around America, and people are tired of its self-centered, individualistic mindset. It’s time to wake up.

That’s the question “WHAT IS THIS REALLY ABOUT” there is something very wrong going on here! This current ?leading our country straight into hell has reasons far beyond fent! Like Prime Minister Trudeau said “that’s his excuse” esp. with Canada as we have known & for anyone who hasn’t known,they do now. Canada is not our biggest concern of Fent getting into our country! Trump wants to look like a hero to his sheep but he is only a puppet being played by Putin!What is it that Putin has that either is on Trump or what Trump wants! Keywords “what Trump wants” bc none of us want this! He is weakening our country almost daily & getting closer to Russia?! Russians don’t even trust Putin,let alone any Americans, esp leaders! Putin would destroy his own for power & yet Trump thinks he’s some “good trustworthy guy” we are headed into a very very dark time! The faster we get him out the faster we can repair the damage done! Idk how anyone supports this ?any longer\nAs an American I stand with Canada ?? Ukraine ?? Mexico ?? Europe! Ppl get ur passports ready! I’m ready to leave & come back in 4yrs!

Trump has to be seen as a rogue leader and his sucking up to Russia has to pose serious questions for all Americans about his values , integrity and reliability in defending the USA .

I think if Trump fires more federal workers and lower taxes on American companies, everything will even out for the poor and lower middle class.\nAlso He's allowing immigrants that can pay there way into America the opportunity to do so. I'm sure they will settle in all the middle and upper middle class neighborhoods that the Demoncrap leaders live in, to give them a taste of what it's like to be saturated with immigrants.

This is what a leader sounds like. Trump talks like a second grader at best. I'm embarrassed of our current leaders to say the least

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.

TRUMP won't LAST in the WHITE HOUSE! You call him a leader of the free world? What a TRASH!

So good. It’s about time leaders stop tip-toeing around Trump and tell it like it is. Back the fuck off, Donnie.

TRUMP NEEDS TO BE IMPEACHED! IMPEACHED! IMPEACHED!\n\nTrudeau is a great leader! He should be USA President.

This is not aggressive towards the US, it's not harsh. This a reasonable response from the leader of a nation that is the victim of Trump's declared trade-war. .. The important word is 'war', not 'trade'.

### **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!**

He spoke like a true leader. Trump is just dumb, nothing can change that. Vance is also the other dummy and ass kisser.

It's just Trump. One dumb man who, for some dumb reason, speaks and represents a lot of people under the name of the country they live in. Maybe someone will figure out that someone can only make so many bad decisions before they remove that person from making more bad decisions. We have the village idiot in charge of things. Most[people in America like you and other leaders more than the person who is pretending to lead here. He's the fool of fools. You don't have to call him a smart guy just to make him feel good, he just does dumb things all the time. Either way, it's a fun show, I only hope the missiles start to fly and we all destroy ourselves. \n \nHenry Limpet: Doesn't it kind of give you a thrill of hope, George? \nGeorge Stickel: Hope for what, Henry? \nHenry Limpet: With the war in Europe and new weapons being invented all the time, why, well what if men were actually foolish enough to destroy themselves completely? Then, you see, the fish in the ocean would develop into a new race of men and - well, this time they might turn out better, you see? \n \nOne can only hope.

Why can’t we have a real leader like this! Instead we have a belligerent egomaniac Russian asset as president. He shouldn’t have even had 10% of the vote. Y’al knew better but didn’t vote better because of many superficial reasons, among them, sexism and racism. Now all of us Americans are losing. I’d love to see the day when we as Americans can come together as ONE & stand up against people like Trump that are harming all Americans. United we stand. Divided, ALL of us fall. Some of y’al thought it wouldn’t impact you even if his policies impacted others (and not you) so you didn’t care and voted for public enemy #1 despite all the warnings given. Now here we are. I really truly hope that America has a whole will look at ourselves in the mirror at what we’ve allowed to be, and change our ways by coming together as one country that wants to see Americans do well and be good and be able to take care of their families, regardless of race or sex, or gender, immigration status or any of the superficial barriers.

Maybe it's because listening to Trump speak for eight years has broken my brain, but it's so weird listening to the leader of a country speak like an actual leader and not suck himself off and complain how he's treated the whole time

I believed the incompetent leader we have in the UK was the worst, but it appears that Trump and Vance make Starmer and Rayner seem appealing—and believe me, they certainly are not

I hope the Prime minister reads these comments. If he doesn't then let others from around Canada read these messages and pass them on to everyone in Canada until it reaches every leader in Canada. Prime Minister Trudeau and all those who lead our provinces. When you come out to talk to all the Canadian, the Americans and all of our allies around the world. Please keep reminding President Trump. That Canada is still not and will never be for sale, no matter what. And don't remind him once. Keep telling him that everything you go on camera. And keep saying it until Trump finally gets it. Greenland you do the same about your country. And you too keep telling him this no matter how it takes. Keep sending him this message even after he gets tired of hearing it. Let us show this low-life criminal what we say and do to him and anyone else who abuse their power and authority.

Canada, I and the majority of Americans stand with you in this. We abhor Donald Trump. We are protesting. We are pressuring our leaders to stop this nonsense. We will purchase Canadian goods whenever possible to support your econony over our own. We will do more if it is required. It has been a long time since the American left has had to rise and fight... but we will fight. \n\nI am sorry... so very, very sorry... for what the ignorant minority who elected Trump has done to you and to my own country. The good news is, it will not last forever. We - the educated, empathetic, democracy loving Americans, raised on the stories of past heroes who stood up against corrupt governments - we will make sure this ends. The sooner, the better. Stay strong. We're fighting for you too.

That Canada prime minister is a true leader not trump.?

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

This is what a leader, a real leader…intelligent and savvy…looks like. When Trump looks into the mirror, this is not what is reflected back. The reflection looks like a four year old child, crying because Daddy doesn’t love him. It’s sad but we will be paying dearly for a child’s temper tantrum and very disturbing behaviors. Wake up United States, Congress, Republicans and Democrats, the entire News Media, and uninformed voters. This country, our country is at risk of going the way of all fallen dynasties…into oblivion. God help us all. Sorry dear Canada, so sorry.

So nice to have a smart, informed, articulate leader…versus the narcissistic, rambling, embarrassing, childish orange d!ck we have. And this is from a middle class guy in a southern state. No doubt Führer Trump will try to stay forever,but hopefully this mess will go away in four years

I wish a foreign leader would call Donald J Trumps second administration exactly what it is. F*CKING CRAZY. We have let one 78 year old man literally single handedly destroy 8 decades of global cooperation and partnerships. My country has invited its own demise, but for the life of me I don't understand why or how we have fallen soo far in just 1 month

Crazy to see how relations have broken down between our two countries and sad for all my great American friends and thanks for your support but anyone with half a mind could see this coming. So many Americans, even republican voters, now waking up to the cold reality of a treasonous, mad president allied to a Russian mad man, isolating the US from the rest of the world. He was basically elected to repaire the economy. Ha! Nice going you orange freak. The stock market is crashing like a Trump casino. You bankrupt two casinos and now you are doing the same to America. Oh! and I hope you're listening to Trudeau's speech, this is what a real leader sounds like. CANADA STRONG AND FREE!!!

His people in Ontario have been driving to Michigan to buy their groceries because they can’t afford prices in their own country for YEARS. Don’t tell us how we are gonna feel. And the people made this decision. We voted trump in. I’m not a world leader but I personally don’t take economic advice from people who can’t manage their own ??‍♂️

Well done Trudeau. At least one leader had the guts to talk against Trump’s atrocity. ????????

All of our party leaders INCLUDING CONSERVATIVES are against Trump and his tariffs. If anything, thank you USA.... you've united an entire country. Albeit, against you.

Level-headed, measured, amicable, educated, a real leader and statesman. Talking to an orange baffoon. I only disgree with Trudeau in one thing. Trump does dumb things cause he is actually dumb. And seeing that he is insulting people and allies left and right I personally would love for other leaders inventing fitting names for him paying him back in kind. Someone came up with Mango Mussolini, I had until now favored Orange Utan, but the Mango version is appealing. And lets face it, Trump's cabinet of circus freaks also literally begs to be ridiculed.

Jan 2025\n\n1. Schedule F grants Trump power to replace federal employess with loyalists.\n2. Musk does Nazi salute at inaguration.\n3. Bill proposed to allow Trump a 3rd term but not Obama.\n4. General Inspector Watch Dogs all fired from White House. [No one to monitor coruption]\n5. Musk continues to fund and speaks at ADF rally.\n\nFeb 2025\n\n1. Trump states Ukraine started war with Russia.\n2. 21 Doge employees resign refusing to dismantal gov as directed n put citizen data at risk.\n3. EU chief declares US is no longer leader of the free world.\n\nMar 2025\n\n1. Trump pauses military aide for ukraine.

Love coming here and setting y'all straight because as you can see y'all failed when you got the chance to prove Trump was the problem. Canada? Weak country, leader acts as if he can play hardball,watch markets right now, they wouldn't be so jittery if Trump ain't backing it up. 50% of Americans right now are soft as Charmin,we can't get rid of you but God I wish we could,y'all lost on why Trump is doing all he is doing....I mean to even have to explain to y'all, nahh man. Y'all got to go.

Trump is giving the leaders of other countries a mini holiday away from there own pathetic achievements

Dude you screwed your people over and the trucker's especially with all the environmental cr#*p and your not a leader you need to step down and respect TRUMP.

CNN has to be on their A-game when interviewing Trump Admin people in the next few days. They need to explain why their dear Leader has decided to do it, and to challenge their bullshit. There seems to be no rationale reason.
