I’m a 53 year old Canadian. I went to college on an athletic scholarship & lived there for 10 years after turned professional in my sport. Why, why, why - with all the problems going on in the world right now to tackle - why would you want to start a trade war with your closest trading partner & most loyal ally? Not to mention that your list of Allies is shrinking daily. This is not going to end well for either of us. \nI just arrived home from a trip to the grocery store - making sure nothing in my cart said “ made in the USA” on it due to the new tariffs that began today. \nThe irony is, many of the states where Trump won by the biggest margin, are the states that are going to get hit the hardest from Canadian retaliation tariffs ( Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana, the Dakotas - just to name a few). A lot of farmers in those states are going to be hit extremely hard with the fertilizer tax. After Canada, the next 3 largest Potash producers are Russia, Belarus & China. So , good luck \nWhen the cost of fruit & vegetables skyrocket across the US. Maybe you’ll put a little more thought into your vote 4 years from now.

It would have been better to call the move “ill-advised”. Referring to POTUS by first name and saying it was “dumb” is just going to provoke DJT who everyone, fans and critics alike, knows is vain and does not have the humility to accept insults. It’s Trudeau breaking shtuff on his way out. He doesn’t have the mandate to put us in a worse position; he is being selfish, I think, in taking an unnecessary low-brow jab. Calling it ill-advised or similar gives Trump an out, to pass the buck to Lutnik when it becomes apparent that this tariff idea is a steaming pile for everyone involved.

Gessus crist how dumb a big outlet like cnn to not put 1 and 1 together, to see who is meant do benefit from this, and not name it\nTrump distroyed cia, pentagon and fbi and any governement that could have checked his traitorous a55 that gave usa on a silver platter to russia AND CHINA \ncause make no mistake, ppl were amazed China was slapped with only 10% while allies were attacked viciously . The rethoric against china will change and will see that the excuse of disingage from Europe(translate let it be Putin's) was supposed to concentrate on bigger fish china.\nLike the boiling of the frog u dumb traditional media were complicit in the transformation of usa in a fascist state! You stopped putting pressure on republicans, gave them leeway to giv in to trump blackmail and intimidation, instead of marking ALL THE LIES HE TELLS ALL THE TIME. \nCNN, FOX ETC . Make no mistake, we saw what u did, when the evil axis will form russia china USA, YOU WILL KNOW YOU DID IT.

I ain’t going to deny that Donald should be named Dumbnald from now on. It is also undeniable that senile dementia hits the hardest to certain kind of guys, based on the way they’ve whacked their life with all kinds of excesses

His name is DUMB TRUMP not Donald Trump

Trudeau should offer to make Michigan a province and Michiganders will show our gratitude by changing the name of Lake Michigan to Lake Canada and raise the Maple Leaf Flag to the top of the Mackinaw Bridge.

The fallout from the cult about Trudeau calling DJT by his name, will be starting soon. \n\nWell done Canada. I hate that is is impacting all in the US, but it is absolutely justified with how the current administration is treating the world.

It isn`t about Fentanyl. Donald`s idol named Putin is fighting with his neighbor. Donald has to do the same. He copies Putin, he idolizes him.

You know you’ve messed up bad when the government of your closest ally starts addressing you by your first name only.

BRAVO Prime Minister Trudeau!! To my incredible Canadian neighbors -- You cannot imagine the shame and humiliation I am filled with as I sit in my home, which is located south of your beautiful country. Please believe me when I say I am sorry. I am truly sorry, for any hardships my country has unnecessarily brought to your door. My fear is, 4 yrs from now when his term is up, there will be no peaceful transfer of power to our next President. He who shall not be named, will most likely refuse to leave office. I wish I was a wizard standing on Platform 9 3/4 right now.

Wolf... wolf... wolf... lmao what a stupid name lol

DBag is so dumb, he chose a VP with a last name that almost rhymes with the last VP. ??‍♂️

Please someone provide me the name of the woman next to the Prime Minister because I felt like her, and I’m American ?

LETTING PEOPLE, INCLUDING WHITE COLLAR CRIMINALS CHANGE THEIR IDENTITY, THEIR LAST NAME IN CANADA , INTO A HINDU , EUROPEAN or even ASIAN LAST NAME,\nBECAUSE \nCriminals plan on coming into the UNITED States and ROBBING USA BLIND BY COMMITTING USA CLASS X FELONY FRAUD AND THEFT OF ALL THE USA BENEFITS PROGRAMS.\nSTOP LETTING CRIMINALS INTO your COUNTRY and HIRE their IDENTITY because CANADA creates a WHOLE NEW IDENTITY CRIMINALS , so they can come into AMERICA and HIDE their CRIMINAL IDENTITY , CAREER CRIMINALS come into your country and CANADA GIVES CRIMINALS NEW FICTITIOUS IDENTITIES AND FACTITIOUS IDS giving them fictitious identities with fictitious IDs, so they can come into the United States and commit massive { USA class X FEDERAL FELONY FRAUD and THEFT of all the USA benefit programs.\nJUSTIN YOU ARE SUCH A LIAR BECAUSE MOST OF THE CRIMINAL MUSLIM TERRORISTS IN THE USA COME FROM CANADA THEY CHANGE THEIR WHOLE IDENTITY IN CANADA, CANADA PRODUCES FICTITIOUS BIRTH CERTIFICATES FICTITIOUS IDS FOR MUSLIM TERRORIST

as a us citizen, wud be funny if this changes the name of our continents to north canadian and south hispanic

This is it! We need more world leaders addressing him by name and letting him know how stupid he is.

I almost forgot what it’s like to listen to a cogent speech from a world leader. No name calling, no yelling, no threats, no blaming others. \n\nJust a true leader.

I bet Donald is the king pin of fent….i can’t stand him. His name was on Jeffery’s list….? can’t believe ppl still like him after everything he’s done sigh….

Trump's mission: To separate all US allies from one another! To better serve the main evil, namely Russia!!

That’s how a leader addresses the world. No mocking, no name calling. Just the facts. Mad props to you sir from this American.

I'm not sure Americans can understand this without name calling, repeating the same thing over and over, and pausing to s*** his pants

Thanks so much for your advice Teacher Mr. Trudeau. When we Americans need some more lecturing about what you think is best for us, we'll be sure to ask. Obviously, you know what is expected of you regarding the border but haven't done it to the satisfaction of USA leadership. In the interim, do your best imitation of a liberal and cry us a river. And Justin, just so you now, our president's name is President Trump for you, not 'Donald'.

Who is this fool call my president by his first name !!?? This punk done lost his mind!!!

Americans; be not distracted by this coming out on the same day as the Epstein flight logs with your president’s name on them.

While Canadians' outrage over Trump's policies is still understandable, we now witness Americans who ought to stand with their president choose to support this hypocritical person, Trudeau, who has persecuted and still persecutes many of his fellow citizens, including truck drivers and anti-vaccine activists, in the name of freedom of speech. Words cannot adequately describe such behavior. \nIn this terrible time of the U.S. national debt, everyone must be with their president and no one else.

Sir with all due respect please don’t quote this as THE AMERICANS. Adress Trump’s actions by his name

I hate that the conservatives are pushing Trudeau out, he's Excellent and one of the BEST statesmen our country has ever had and I feel like we need him in this awful situation. I will put his name on my ballot and vote for him again. ??

Trudeau calling Trump by his first name, Donald.

Just like invading other countries without conngress approval in the name of terrorism

Well said Prime Minister Trudeau, very clear precise without name calling and shouting but this is exactly how intelligent leadership respond. My only correction would be to your statement that trump is a smart man; no sir but I understand the need not to obliterate him.

AMERICAN HERE , I AM A DIEHARD REPUBLICAN BUT I DIDN'T VOTE FOR THE AMERICAN PSYCHO NAMED TRUMP , GO CANADA GO

I think its a great way to acknowledge how unpresidential donald is... dont use his title or even last name... just donald.

AN EYE FOR AN EYE IS THE ONLY WAY TO DEAL WITH THE AMERICAN PSYCHO NAMED TRUMP

He’s in his Robert California era. You don’t even know his name.

Let's be perfectly clear, here: The United States, leaving her markets WIDE OPEN -- as if a woman flinging her legs open and apologizing if she can't 'service' everyone in the crowd -- for EIGHTY YEARS and our workers, engineers, factory builders, etc., etc., all just watching our jobs float off to other shores...is OVER.\n> As is to be expected, Trudeau is keeping up appearances. \n> About THREE-FOURTHS of Canada's exports are converted to CASH inside the United States. \n> That means JOBS for Canadians, paychecks for Christmas time and tax revenues for Ottawa.\n> Yes, the US really does need Canada. We need Mexico. (We don't need Communists like China.)\n> But we have SACRIFICED our most vital naturally-occurring need: our personal and industrial productivity and creativity. \n> The United States, thanks to Her ideas on governance and empowerment of the People, invented and created the modern world that, now, almost 8 billion people expect (maybe closer to 6 billion of the 8+). \n> We have suffered unspeakably for the past -- at least -- 50 years as more and more of our ingenuity and creativity that once fueled our production has disappeared in the name of keeping the world free.\n> Enough. \n> The world WILL change. We can either accept China's version of Soviet Communism, relinquishing all global empowerment for whatever the CCP feels like, today.\n> Or we can bite the bullet and allow the People of the United States to restore what we sacrificed for the stability of a free world, starting about 80 years ago.\n> Either way, Canada will not go back to the way things were.\n> They can be better. But not like before. Period.

I think Trump is tired of our trade deficit with Canada. I have faith in Trump. This has nothing to do with the Canadian people. If people want to have a mutual alliance, then they have to step up and play fair as well.\n\nGod bless President Trump, America and the World in Jesus’s Holy Name, Amen! ??

Trump loves Putin an ex KBJ. He loves communists, Russia , North Korea, China to name but a few.

trump is just trying to trash the canadian economy so he can make it the 51st state....he trying to be like his hero named putin

If your most stable genius noticed that this very eloquent man referred to very. simple. speech. and. short. main. sentences. when addressing him? Yes, you can insult people without throwing stupid names at them. Very fitting. The orange messiah deserves every malice he can possibly get. And more, because this whole trade war will affect especially poor and medium income US consumers. CANADA will help Canadian citizens affected from the tariffs. Guess what DT´s administration will do for US citizens. Exactly.

So basically they are destroying America not building it up all in the name of a Mad man who idolizes another Mad man in Russia how devastating!!!!!

I don’t wish Trump any harm but the odds of him being assassinated in 2025 have dropped dramatically from 5500 to 1 down to 166 to 1 . Pretty scary stuff if your name is Donald Trump

It has become pretty clear that Donald listens to just one man and his name is PUTIN.

Putin works for the Russian mob and Donald J Trump works for a dictator named Putin who wants to bring America to it's knees now this is a major problem. Donald J Trump has got to go immediately, forcefully and aggressively the individuals that work for the government that we will never know or hear of but make sure that Americans are safe from foreign and domestic terrorist so we may have a peace of mind while we sleep have a job to do godspeed to you.

Canada's Tariff applied to the United States will cause some price inflation, price increase, for a short time until the United states establish compaines to produce the same good and services that were tariffed. Once goods and service producted by the United States exceeds the Canadian goods and services that were tarriffed, the prices will come down. President Donald Trump did this to grow United States and Employment and cause price deflation over the long term. Hopefully Canada has the resources to do the same. I hope every body is blessed through Jesus Christ's name. Amen.

Trump was recruited in 1987 by the KGB through his wife Ivana, code name KRASNOV !!!!!!!! \nTrump now reports to pootin and says “I report the job done” !!!!!!!!!!!

It’s deeply embarrassing that the only way to make sure the President listens is to address him by name in a speech. I wish I’d been born in Canada

Yes Canada show your dignity, say no to bully. The world can see what is righteousness. People often forget they only live for a brief moment, all these bullies will be recorded in history and their bad name stuck forever.

Im 46 and my name is Justin also... his words and honor make all Justins around the world proud to be a Justin!

Hey you POS his name to YOU is \nMR PRESIDENT \nAnd you are the LIAR and it will be proven a FACT!\nYour country WILL suffer far more greatly than the US ever will!\nHe gave you a chance to Stop the drugs and illegal crossings.

Sane Americans appreciate our northern neighbor and support whatever tactics, and strategies, you must employ to deal with the ass hat that is our President. I’m quite envious of the articulate, honest, strong leadership of Mr. Trudeau. It’s the antithesis of the current President of the U.S. I prefer to not say his name out loud so as to not throw up.
