In a war between Canada and the United States I would fight for Canada, and I think the majority of Americans would too. What is happening is complete lunacy. I don’t know what to do.

Well said. I will never understand how Trump and the entire Republican Party turned against our country and our allies, and aligned themselves with a murderous Russian dictator. I don’t know how anyone could grow up in the United States of America and so completely turn their backs on the Constitution, and the laws and values we stand for. I am confused. I am scared. I am angry. But mostly, I am ashamed to be living in Trump’s America.

The United States will fall so long as trump and his croonies are incontrolled

You want to give tariffs to United States but you don't want to accept none that's wrong!

I lived near Canada and they always have been so nice and respectful there . They have shit trade deals that are ripping off the united states - grow a set of balls

Truduea is a lier and the United States has protected Canada and kept them going for years. Tariffs is what they need to straighten them out .

Trudeau is stupid, he doesnot know what Trump wants. Trump want manufacture moves to United States from Canada and Mexico.

Trudeau, my brother, My words cannot begin to express to you or your people just how genuinely sorry I am for my country's utterly repulsive and inexcusable behavior throughout the last month and a half and for the downright cruel, hostile treatment you've suffered at the hands of the most incompetent, greedy, poorly educated, narcissistic, racist, sexist, xenophobic buffoon to ever preside over the United States. Not only is Donald Trump an overly privileged, pathetic, whiney crybaby who literally folds his arms, stomps his feet, and launches an all out temper tantrum whenever he doesn't get his way or when someone else has the TV remote, he is a dangerously delusional, high stakes risk taker who wouldn't think twice about using his own mother or child as a human body shield if he thought his life were in danger. There is absolutely no value, principle, moral or ethic he wouldn't betray without hesitation if he suspects there is anything at all to be gained - you know, the type of guy who would poison the entire neighborhood in order to hoard all the complimentary tampons and lip gloss samples from his neighbors' mail boxes just to ensure that he got first dibs on everything before anyone else. Incidentally, he is also the same type of guy who pockets all the flavored mini coffee creamers from the gas station and all the paper bed sheets and Qtips from the doctor's office. I wouldn't put it past him to steal the waitresses' tips off tabletops on his way out the door upon leaving McDonald's. In fact, I would bet everything that he steals the donation jars for Jerry's Kids at the local supermarket. I mean, its already a given that he is likely the guy who filed a lawsuit a few summers back against a sweet, innocent littls FOUR year old boy for having a lemonade stand on property not zoned for commercial use. If it wasn't Trump then I'm sure it's only because he was too busy ordering the National Guard to power hose and pepper spray the 30 or so elderly nuns who had been distributing bottled water to folks demonstrating in support of Black Lives Matter on the hottest day of the year. Satisfied in his victorious battle against the nuns - 9 of whom had been hospitalized for critical injuries including the 92 year old Mother Superior who suffered massive brain bleed, swelling and concussion due to the excessive force of the power hose and an 87 year old nun who lost permanent sight in one eye due to the pepper spray - Trump had the nerve to pose for a publicity shot in front of the church while holding a Bible - UPSIDE DOWN - and scrunching and contorting his face into that hideous trademark scowl he does ever so naturally. Yep. This is the man my fellow Americans chose to represent our nation as President - a man who beats up 90 year old nuns and imposes 25% tax hikes to our ONLY FRIEND in the entire world simply for refusing to accept his invitation for statehood. I mean, come on, Trudeau, is that really asking too much of you? Was it really worth bruising Donny's fragile little ego and sending him into a fit of rage? (Seriously, though, I suspect he really does feel as though you are in the wrong for refusing to humor his delusions and thus embarrassing him in front of all his Russian dictator and Ku Klux Klan buddies.)\nOnce again, I do humbly apologize and I promise I will support whatever actions you choose to take and I will help you in any way you deem is best. \nMuch love and peace always, \nMs. S. Delois Jackson

Not telling why Canada was imposed with 25% tariffs . President Trump told you Mr. Trudeau 30 days ago if you did not put your military on the border to keep illegal immigrants from crossing into the United States he would do this. So you were warmed! Do not get up there and lie! We voted for President Trump to close our borders cause when he campaigned he said he would and he's sticking to his promise.

From Owensboro, Kentucky, United States - I support and laud you, Canada! ??

Fentanyl is made in United States.

Don't say United States

Trump is a mentally deranged idiot he is not friends with anyone but other dictators cuz that's what he wants to be he has said it and people have heard it yet the dumb people of the United States think oh the orange man in office is great.\nHey Canada you got the room for a family at 7:00 with three dogs and some cats because I will gladly become a Canadian citizen I am ashamed to be an American right now and I do not agree with what Trump is doing and yeah help

The President of the United States of America is a TRAITOR. ??

Not the united states. The trump administration is the traitors

First: sorry for my bad english. It is not my First language. \n\nThis speech was remarkable. No lies, no BS, just the facts. Wish we would here the same out of the White House. \n\nAs a german who knows about german history and how everything started back then I'm terrified how fast the United States of America are moving towards a dictatorship.\n\nEvery politician around the free world should be worried about what is going to happen if DT keeps doing what he is doing, which is undermining every treaty and contract the US is having with the rest of the world.\n\nAnd on a personal note: as a child I always dreamed of someday moving to the USA. After beeing there on holiday in 2017 and also driving to Canada to visit some friends, that dream changed.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I still love your country, but you elected the worst President for the second time! WHY??? You could have known what it would be like, everything was reported on by this network and many others.\n\nAs one commentator said: this is not going to end well. And I and most of Europe and the rest of the world are thinking the same and we are afraid of the things to come.

Nearly half of the foolish American voters installed this verified criminal as a pretend president once again, knowing damn well the chaos this imbecile caused four years ago. But not all the blame goes to them, the Demo-rat politicians, with their shallow 2024 candidates along with zero support for struggling American Working Class help cause Trump. The corporate elites own the Democrats and the oligarchs control the Republicans. This is the sad state of affairs in 2024 in the United States.

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 is being blackmailed by Putin with the pee pee tapes just look at the flight log dates and times when he returned to the United States and you’ll see the difference Trumps arrogance is more important than the American safety and security ??? go Canada I love you guys and stay strong my friends we will make it through this shit show ???

magats are an embarrassment to the United Stated

Hold on. Will the Canadian government provide assistance to its citizens during the trade disputes? Im sure, President Trump will offer greater benefits to the United States.

I am truly sorry with all that is happening in America.!!! I love Canada who always stood with the United States and now this is what is happening.!!! I support Canada.!!! Never voted for this government. But now, we are paying the price because of those who put this administration in the White House.!!!???

If you guys want to go to Canada go ahead... Look at their economy and their healthcare and tell me how they are better than the United States in any way!

Trudeau is the man!!,we could only dream of having a leader like him.Reminds me that Canada is just a better version of the United States,they're better than us and much better off than we are....I mean they don't have a bunch of rich,disguisting pigs running the country or a fat orange wannabe dictator who is full of himself....Everything Trudeau had to say here couldn't be more right....

Its so sad that the united state president its a joke.

If only the United States of America had a great leader like \nPresident Trudeau

Yes Fentanyl is a terrible thing. But I know for a fact its the 1st thing they give you in the hospital now a days in Canada for pain not sure about the United States. Obviously in very very small doses but im sure the price us right.

Elon Musk should not be able to cross the border to Canada again and that go's to anyone with an Canadian citizenship who thinks Canada should be the 51 State should give up their Canadian citizenship and move to the United States.\nI'm proud to be Canadian\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMcCuHal3jA\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYOaLI4rgLk

I hope my fellow Americans in the United State hear this! This is what a leader sounds like. This was POWERFUL!! I'm so embarrassed. This is completely insane. Frump, look what you're doing!!

In Canada, there is a lot of divisiveness between our conservative and liberal political parties. But what is incredible is how much support Trudeau holds in this trade war conflict . While his reign is nearly over, nationally all political parties have come together (in majority numbers) for a unified approach. Trump has single-handedly ostracized the United States from the rest of the world.

Can we please have Justin Trudeau as our president here in the United States!

Y’all will stop at nothing to demonize the President of the United States. Shame on you

Trump needs to be impeached ! He is an embarrassment to the United States ! All he worry’s about eating McDonald’s and golf !

Wait until Trump sends his troops into Canada. MAGA , musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Putin, and North Korea are right behind him. You used to be a democracy like America was. America was once known as the United States of America. MAGA has forced the world to call that former great country Shitland.

America's NEW Flag ?? at least you will still be able to call it the RED WHITE AND BLUE ... ya'll will be the 22 Republic of Russia ..\nUSSA , United Soviet State of America.?? Cheers to Donnie Hip hip hooray , ? Vlads gonna have you over for tea... ?? FAFO

The united state have the devil running there country

I was always remember the trade between united states and Canada \n So brave

Know what it is is Canadian Canada is standing up with the EU, which has basically been fucking the United States for so long and all the Democrats have gotten in all y’all‘s bureaucratic fucking heads which is not Democrats no more they are bureaucrats American people are tired of it we are tired of paying debts while others set back and enjoy their lives while the American people slave because every one resents us they don’t give a shit about us

We in the United States are going to enter a recession very soon, all because 51% of voters thought that people using pronouns was a bigger issue than our economy. Trump has been bankrupt 6 times and didn't know that tariffs are paid by consumers. Congratulations, you can now call that transgender person a ' he ' as you lose your job.

United States production is stepping up. Canada is fucked.

'WE two friends fighting is exactly what our OPPONENTS want to see' (Capitalisations mine) \n\nWhy is everyone so afraid to acknowledge and/or accept the fact that OUR opponents are not HIS opponents? They are his friends and his idols. He admires these people. He wants to BE these people. He is a danger not only to the United States, but to the entire world. Donald Trump will destroy everything we have ever known and relied upon regarding democracy and the worldwide rules-based system that we have all relied upon for 80 years now. Why won't anyone say that?

I’d like to welcome Alberta to the United States. There are no federal tariffs for state to state sales.

To be enemy of the United States is dangerous, to be friend is fatal.

At what point has the American army the duty to take Trump & his goons into custody?\nThey all swore allegiance to protect the constitution of the United States.

I stand with Canada and I am ashamed of the United States.

The only Leader you need to see speak today. The leadership the United States of America needs.

Trump don't care about nobody but himself things are about to get hard in the United States That's for sure if you ain't got a million dollars you're screwed

Cut the power off to the U.S. ?? and stop the 4 million barrels of oil going over the border put a stop to the Uranium going south no more Nickle or steel or Aluminum, Potash for their Farmers stop that also, the additional measures being considered will be painful and unfortunately the majority of Americans don't realize what's coming their way sure Canada ?? will feel pain also but we are standing up for what's right these tariffs is an unprovoked attack on our economy and you can bet Vladimir Putin ?? is smiling now knowing Trump can be compromised just look at what Putin ?? has managed to do so far he has manipulated Trump into alienating all his allies which has now happened you can bet that Vladimir Putin ?? is going milk this till he either succeeds in destroying the world ? view of the U.S.?? or manipulates Trump into telling him things he shouldn't to further his plans because if you think Vladimir Putin ?? does have a deck of cards up his sleeve you're nieve he has shook the hands of 2 dictators, Kim Jong Un ?? and Vladimir Putin ?? and has burned all his bridges with allies and you still think Russia isn't trying to interfere politically so it works to their advantage it already has. Hell he is ex KGB for crying out loud if that's not a red flag then the U.S.?? has more issues than I thought. How could Trump and his thugs attack President Zelensky ?? on live T.V. for the world ? to see how disrespectful, cruel, a total lack of compassion for a president who has had his country destroyed he's losing his people and that shirt President Zelensky was wearing was from a young girl back in Ukraine the U.S. ?? played Judge, Jury and executioner on live T.V. They are punishing President Zelensky for absolutely no reason by stalling aid to Ukraine his people are being slaughtered and they want Ukraine to give up territory and that's not acceptable under any circumstances Trump is trying to force President Zelensky ?? into a deal with Russia ?? by stalling aid. So let's punish people in a country that has been destroyed even more to force them into a deal with Russia ?? that would require Ukraine to give up territory absolutely not! Ukraine must remain in tact and return to its former glory ?? the United States of America ?? can no longer be trusted especially if they attacked their closest allies and insulted us continually did WW1 and WW2 mean absolutely nothing to the U.S.?? when Iran ?? took American hostages Canadians ?? worked tirelessly to devise a plan to get them back to the U.S. and succeeded in doing Just that the Canadians brought back the Americans safely. When 9/11 happened and Canada ?? took on thousands of passengers in Gander Newfoundland Canada ?? we opened our airspace and landed each and every one of them safely then when Americans couldn't get their medication, Gander gave it to them free of charge when Americans went shopping for clothes the stores gave it to them free of charge everything they needed was provided free of charge they were fed housed offered compassion and opened their homes so Americans could shower and clean up. So Canadians has always been there for the U.S.?? and this is how Canada ?? is repaid for its sacrifices made during both wars and other historical events that involved both countries ????? So if the world ? sees the U.S. attacking it closest allie for no reason and insulting Canada ?? at every turn and spreading complete lies about Canadians saying we want to be the 51 St State! No Canadians want that I can tell you, not for anything or any amount of Gold or currency would Canadians want to be part of the U.S.?? we'll the world ? has seen the 2 faces of the United States ?? now and you can bet the confidence in all aspects in that country will plummet! The ?? can't be trusted anymore.

This might just be one of the most articulate and impactful speeches of modern day history.\nI'm genuinely so envious that the United States doesn't have a leader like Canada does currently. I, like many other Americans, stand with Canada on this! ❤

The president of the United States is doing what's best for his country now. CNN along with this unpopular jerk just have a democ(rat) agenda ?
