You might want to dumb it down for the MAGA morons

When a corrupt man is telling you you're too corrupt to deal with, common sense would dictate that might sink in. But America hasn't run on common sense for about a decade now.

Could it be that Putin struck fear into the heart of trump. He looks so strong with such a big mouth and toughness to try to humiliate Selinsky my IQ might be 90 but this is what I see. What do you all intellectual highly educated top 5% of America sí see?

Trump wants Canada to be 51st state? This is wrong. Trump might have some Russian friends pushing him to mess with Canada. God help Canada ?? ? ❤

I mean he’s certainly well spoken Im sure we all can agree but factual….not so much. People do your research on Chinese Triad gang members buying up real estate in Vancouver to launder money from drug sales. There is no doubt a growing problem in Canada that is impacting the US. By the numbers Canada illegal border crossings and Fentanyl crossing volume might pale in comparison to Mexico but it’s important to note that it’s still a rising problem they’ve yet to fully understand. Look at how much of the Northern US border is unguarded compared to the southern border. This tariff war between the US and Canada is no doubt a problem but Canada is absolutely a part of the reason it exists. In the end please remember there’s always two sides to every story and mainstream media is anything but objective when it comes to how they cover them.

Maybe they are planning something. Trump once remarked that Canada could become the U.S.'s 51st state, so perhaps he was considering a strategy to weaken the country as part of a long-term plan. He might have been looking for a justification to assert control over Canada. Additionally, his strategic support for Putin raises concerns. Trump also once suggested renaming the 'Gulf of Mexico' to the 'Gulf of America.' Considering all this, could we be on the brink of World War III?

Go Canada Go. Poor to all Americian have Trump running the show. And watch out you (Americian) might go broke and even like the other 8900+ lost their job.

OUR REPUBLICAN/MAGA GOVERNMENT, Not just our Government, it is the ALT-RIGHT. If it were American Socialism or even moderate democrats we might be better off. Cause America does socialism and democracy pretty well when given time and access to equity in an array of voices represented.

I think I might need to move he is a good Prime Minister I wish he wasn’t leaving the position. This s what a leader looks like instead of that clown we have for a president .

I could not be prouder of my Canadian ancestors and more ashamed of America now. This is not how you treat your friends and neighbors we will get what we deserve some not me elected a fool and Putin's puppet. We will all suffer for this and It is idiotic but the rich will not feel the pain so it might be time to move to Canada or Mexico where the have real leaders not puppets.

One might say We did this to ourselves…at the very least the white folks did this to America.

I'm doing ongoing research to cease any spend on any US product or service. I'm buying software from Europe, using Posteo for email, deGoogling this year and vastly reducing Youtube. I trace all groceries to eliminate anything US sourced and I now check that products are Mexican and Canadian as much as I'm able and they are supplying. I've stopped planning trips to LA and NYC, I might resume if American voters ever have the good sense to vote en masse against obviously fascist plans and personalities. I've holidayed in Mexico three times and would visit Canada and Europe in future. US is not safe for everyone any longer, not even its citizens and looks to be getting increasingly insecure and offering prosperity only to the already mega rich through crooked policies and agencies. Every week or two I double check the facts on groceries and online products/services to make sure I'm not accidentally buying American. The election was so compromised in November I'm glad people are realising the only action we can take is with our wallets from not logging in to 'big tech' to buying bread and apples etc.

Completely insane....whats happened to the US and the other, strong politicians and members of congress that oppose this guy? Im telling you, if it came to physical war, every single able bodied Canadian would take up arms, and you might win, there will be nothing left to be proud of. You are starting WWIII dude!!!

GOD BLESS CANADA, LONG LIVE CANADA. I am a student immigrant who had a choice between US and Canada. I chose Canada, and I have never regretted my choice. The people might not know this but Canada is an amazing country. People have no idea how Canadians have built a fantastic country in some of the toughest conditions. Canadians are some of the most polite, helpful and kind people.

???????? It's time to rip up that Trudeau resignation letter. We need justin in charge. He might not be a peacetime pm, but he's definitely a wartime pm. ????????

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

Felon McMelon and Shady Pants need to watch how Trudeau leads. They might learn something.

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.

Upstate NYer here. I might as well live in Canada. It's better there any way!

Well done Canada! Now join the EU and be part of the proposed European army! You might even consider building a wall on your southern border.

I’m afraid Trump might not understand what PM Trudeau’s message was. The English he used was a bit too complex. He didn’t say “good”, “not good” and “bad” enough.

Trudeau needs to continue to stand up against trump. Please don’t resign. The next guy might capitulate.

This seems like Taiwan and China we might be invaded

The US didn’t start this trade war. An idiot in the White House did. \nHe gullible MAGAts might be supporting him now but that sting is coming directly back at them.

How soon can the world start trading oil and gas in Canadian dollars. It might be less problematic.

Doesn’t affect everything. You won’t beat Trump so might as well concede.

I might buy Trump's toilet paper?

Trump might have syphilis. But Canada will always be where Americans go on holiday when they can't afford a real vacation at Disney World.

If Justin waited a little longer, he might not have needed to resign. I don't support Trudeau, but I appreciate every word he said here.

Time for the rich people of this country to step and help us weather this storm and not move your head office and business to the U S Can't wait to see the end of the Liberals but I have to say that might be Trudeau's best speech. Too little too late tho.. Not sure calling him dumb will help no matter how true it is.

It might be time to move to Canada

I’m not a liberal or a fan of Trudeau, but that might have been the best speech he’s ever made. Canada strong ?

Dude Its a shame you stepped down. Because you are one Awesome leader. I would rather be #Canadian Right now Than an American. I have found that being an American is not what I hoped it might be. I have been to Canada. Its a wonderful Beautiful nation and its people are some of the coolest in the world. I live so Close to Canada I am sorry We are doing this to you. and the Great Canadian's. I am incensed and angry right now. I want to just leave and defect to another country. I can not Stand the Hideous evil Man Trump And his lackey sidekicks Musk and VD Vance. They are destroying this great nation. Why the military has not stepped in here. Only shows its Cowardice and weakness to follow its own oaths to the nation and its people. Trumps first term was a nightmare. This Term is horrifying. And its killing people. Soon there will be Farms/Camps. Then worse things will come. In Advance There are those of us who are sorry now. Many of us do not have the ability to stop this. and we really really want too.

.... Well I'll tell you what Trudeau,.... None of us people wanted these tariffs either... At least not the people who are sane... I don't even think the people who voted for Donald Trump wanted these tariffs against the rest of the world either....I really don't understand the sense behind it because this is not going to make America greater.... It's going to destroy the economy of America and whatever the country it is that he poses these tariffs on... He thinks this is a strategy for getting what he wants... But I'll tell you what, he may be shocked and sadly mistaken when he finds out that it might just backfire ...this is a very conceited attempt to get the type of economic condition that he envisions for his new Dictatorship over America....he has alienated United States from its allies in Europe as well as its allies here at home.... This is probably about as dumb as his treatment of Volodimir Zelensky that just transpired on Friday at the oval office...and that idiot Vance is the one actually that has started that little debacle....I don't know man I thought these guys had more sense than to do this kind of shit.... But see this kind of situation is not going to affect him or his billionaire buddies because they have so much money they can cushion themselves until the cows come home....these assholes don't have nothing to worry about except the American people finding an emergency way of getting his ass out of office unless he changes course on all of this... I don't know if he can be impeached or not... But it might be a smart thing to find out if it IS possible.... AND EVEN IF IT IS WE STILL HAVE HIS SITTING REPLACEMENTS STILL IN OFFICE AS WELL SO I DON'T SEE THIS GOING AWAY WITHIN THE NEXT 4 YEARS UNLESS HE COMES BACK TO HIS SENSES, AND POSSIBLY GOES TO A DOCTOR AND HAVE HIS HEAD CHECKED....\nDTheMadkat123\nFrom a borrowed phone \n....the only thing I really do support that he is doing is securing the border and dealing with immigration issues here.... That's it that's all I was hoping that he would really focus on being in the oval office, and possibly standing by Ukraine, and Israel during these evil days.... Buddying up to Putin is like the single most insane thing that has come from this as well..I just hope and pray that he comes back to his senses and backtracks on all of this shit.... Besides I like Canada House whiskey, and Canada Dry Ginger ale, and other products from Canada.... Stand strong Canadians, I love you all, and I hope we can make it through these tough times ahead...but obviously the road that we're traveling now there really is no guarantees is there ?? Lady can you shut the hell up and go back to what Trudeau is saying ??

Bittersweet that we might not have someone as equipped to deal with this trade war soon. overall disagree with trudeau but he’s handled this well

Now might be a good time to either upturn the system, or admit that this is no longer the country we can abide, and leave. Either way, it is evident that there is now a New World Order, lead by corporations and the lobbyists that fight for them. The kindest thing to say is that we are an Idiocracy; the truth might be that we've become the evil we pretend to fight. Good luck out there, folks.

The real question should be, what is Felon 47's REAL motive for dismantling the US government while single handily DESTROYING our alliances and our economy. It's almost as if this traitor might be controlled by Putin himself...good riddance

The only people that might get hurt out of this is the canadian people yall dont want any kind of war with us trade war physical war etc. Fafo cross your siuthern border with 1 soldier please

Trudeau is my hero. Compare him with orange buffoon and you know why we have better politicians. I feel sorry for my American brothers and sisters, if they might hurt due to all these non-sense. We equally feel for you but put yourself in our shoes and think!!!!

As someone from the Netherlands, I wish our former prime minister and current NATO leader Rutte responded in a similar way to Trudeau. He was always a true politicians' politician, but the way he stood with the US right after the horrible treatment of Zelensky was a new low. If the majority of US allies responded in a firm manner the way Trudeau just did, it might be enough to scare some Republicans into doing the right thing.

I’ll watch this legacy media clip ..grits teeth..no likes tho. Get it together media. You might not know it but you are a WE as well

This is what's needed to get rid of that Nano-Plastic Oil Brain! Once & for all!!! <3 Y'all for doing this!!! From now on a president should have to go through certain cognitive tests including: a nano plastic count, cte/mri & catscans & pineal gland calcification assessment(just to name a few). There are much more who side with you Canada then ya might think ;) Namaste <3

This is what a real leader looks like. He might not be perfect, but he clearly has the best interests of his (and other) people at heart, rather than being a slave to his own ego.

? Get ready for another four years of inflation. Might even be worse than the last.

Oh, is he threatening to not buy even more of the products hes not buying as per existing agreement? \n\nTip: threatening to take away something I dont have, is not as effective as you might think

Be careful what you vote for; you just might get it. Thanks, Cult 45, the Red Hat Army. You are the ones to blame. Everyone saw it, except those drunk on Cult 45.

Its a grand spectacle to see him speak. At just about the time other circumstances are turning an unknown corner Canada,yes Canada has now spoken up about something credible and concerning. Canada might as well now that some savior from Europe will emerge from a broken chair and claim to be the broker of peace and prosperity. As for me there is only one savior and HE knows the time and places. And his name is not what youve known it to be. Individual realtionships with HIM are all youve got. Goodluck everyone. Read the fine print.

His maga cult will spin this as this is what they voted for. America might be beyond helping itself.

America is now the enemy…a nation allied with the murderous regime of Dictator Putin’s, Russia. \nI’m Australian & I am disgusted by America. Americans might say that they stand with Canada or Ukraine however, tens of millions of you voted for Trump in 2024 & you knew his level of tyranny, his ideology, his policies, his criminality, his intentions. Many, many millions of you decided to not vote at all! The blame is squarely on your shoulders! ?
