Trump will put 100% tariffs on canadian products now! Have you learned anything from the zelensky debacle? Calling trump dumb will not be good for you?

Did he do the full list??? ?? just said they're building in Arizona. Tariff us nothing friend Donald ? ? Canadian spokesperson JT called him what?? This will be a rough ride 4sure JT. Could have just did the full list that was asked 2b done. ??‍♂️ NEW FLASH WORLD NORTH AMERICA WILL BE LOCK DOWN SOON. WHAT SIDE OF THE DOOR WILL U BE ON.???‍??

I demand the Donald to apologize deeply and sincerely for having been disrespectful to my Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau by calling him governor. I want USA to repay the blood and money we shed and spent when we fought battles with you! Doanld, you've been so ungrateful! Shame!

@Tradeau, Stop lecturing us about tariffs and threatening Americans. Your country has high taxes, and before it affects Americans, Canadian citizens will feel the consequences more. Additionally, stop pushing illegal immigrants and fentanyl across the US border. You call it a trade war, but we Americans call it a fair deal. You were well informed about the consequence but you never got serious about the warning. Canada must check strictly shipments from Mexico and China.

Mr. Trudeau the fentanyl is full of bullshit and every estate of the United States they are factories of fentanyl this so called billionaires the only thing they try to do is pretend they can get away with everything. I don’t understand why the people in United States the letter get away so easy. The most danger is musk you have the right to take him the citizenship as a Canadian. We hear in United States support\n Canada days don’t last too long when people get pissed off things happen

What a complete idiot. As a Canadian I am ashamed to call this moron a leader. He was forced to resign but continues to embarrass us on the world stage. Deal with the terrorists, fentanyl and trafficking you creep.

Well done, PM Trudeau. You made us proud as Canadians. You said it like it is. Donald, and I noticed you refrained from calling him President Trump because he is certainly not acting like a president, Donald is siding with our enemies, snuggling up to a malicious dictator rather than taking a stand for right and for the common good. He has absolutely no reason to impose tariffs and is actually breaking legal agreements to do so, but we all know that Trump believes he is above the law. If you like this speech, go and listen to Premier Ford of Ontario as he threatens to tariff all the energy which flows into the States or even just cut it off. Nobody wins in this war, certainly not Americans. But Elon and Donald don't care. They are filthy rich and will just plan chaos and world domination in their sandbox while everyone else in the USA takes the hit.

The Canadian PM is so nice to call Trump smart ?

Justin Trudeau, you did this to Canada. It’s so disrespectful calling the sitting President Donald. Why don’t you go raise carbon taxes, send our money to Ukraine and bring in another 10,000 Sudan’s when your people are sleeping on the street. This speech is a joke, look at yourself in the mirror and say all this to yourself. Also, stop lying that only a small percentage of fentanyl go into the states from Canada! You’re lying and need to stop holding our country hostage so the conservatives can clean up YOUR mess just like they’re doing in the US! Thanks to you many Canadians are excited and wish to become the 51st state because you’ve made Canada such a threat to the US National Security. You brought in millions of unvetted immigrants, terrorists and allowed so much crime. CNN shame on you. You’ve fed these poor people so many lies they have no idea of the corruption going on. Thank God Justin is gone. Bye Bye Governor Trudeau.

Pffffft, joke Trudeau politicking for votes. Liberals won't call a vote this is all intentional. He does not want what's best for Canadians. Vote for common sense, vote UCP.

do any Canadians remember this very low IQ Governor allowed his government to Seize your bank accounts for protesting an experimental jabbb and lockdown... now he calls the U President dumb.?? Y'all are about to find out really quickly why this person crosses his legs like a chick... he has no balls and will lose this fight.

Canadian here this guy should be saying nothing he is not the leader he stepped down call a election now

Trump will twist what you are saying and call you and all Canadians as he called Zelenskyy and all the Ukrainians.

Now he turns around and becomes a Canadian patriot for 9 1/2 years he’s beaten us with everything he could. Canadians don’t need Trudeau and his collaborators to tell us what it means to be a Canadian. We aren’t at war with America and yes Canadians are patient, civilized and tolerant as has been clearly demonstrated since 2015. Now call a federal election.

Hey CNN - Trudeau does NOT speak for Canadians! He is a traitor that works for a private corporation called the WEF which is owned by the white supremacy Schwab family.

What a contrast! Clear and quietly confident speech from handsome young Canadian Leader. And incoherent aggressive blabbing from the so-called president of the USA, grandpa with fake orange tan. Can Trump fully understand clearly what he is saying and doing lately? I wonder. What a mess! Putin is happy. ?

You never talk about 200,000 deficit Trudeau, if you want American people understand about you, US has been feeding Canadian forever Trudeau, and you also called trump dumb and In this case to be fair I don't think you are smarter then trump at all

Hilarious. An anti democratic leader who has proven to be Pegasus the most single awful Canadian leader. \n\nYou're not polite... you called your own people Nazi's.\n\nLiterally had no idea what he is doing.

Wow, he just called Trump a very smart man. Canadians really are nice!

I am so sorry to the people of Canada! I am ashamed to call myself American. I would move to Canada in a minute if I could. If anything, I will be buying Canadian products over our own.

Call your local Utility Company and see what kind of impact the Canadian Power cut off will have on the US.

Make no mistake, Canada faces an existential threat in Trump. Trump has accomplished the normalization of lies such that he can lie about Canada to justify what he does. And many millions in the USA believe him. just like the victim blaming of Ukraine. Trudeau is right that Trump is intent on weakening us and i would add: along the way creating false pretext for coming in and “saving” us from our tyrannical and dangerous government. validating Russian behaviour where might makes right is part of the process for validating his expansionist goals. He will no doubt claim “nasty” Canadian behaviour like “Canadians are killing Americans by not doing enough on fentanyl” and that Trudeau calling him Donald is “unforgivable”. And all the lies will appeal to his base and justify Annexation. It has come to that

Kudos to Trudeau, no sugar coating of the consequences Canadians will experience and calling out putin for the lying murderer that he is.

Good Luck with that! I mean, what's new? You've had a tariff on the US forever now. Next time Trudeau, you need to grow a set of balls and speak with the president. Don't address the US. Address the president of the United States in person, or at the very least the phone call. Congrats, you just screwed over the Canadian people. So again what's new?

As a Canadian, I have heard Justin stumble over his words, give passive aggressive but important statements, I have never heard him call anything or anyone stupid in a direct way though ? he is PISSED

Imagine resigning from your job and still being able to call the shots.....wtf kind of system is this!! Amd canadians just accepting this ?? WTF KINDA COUNTRY IS THIS. Don't wanna merge and have usd and ecpnomic union and a mess fixed justin creates? and not have a gov that executes? Get ready for nsf and bankruptcy

Our prime minister resigned, and has no mandate, he needs to call an election NOW and not wait until october so canadian citizens can decide who the next prime minister is that will have a full 4 year mandate to improve our relations with our southern neighbours.

As a proud Canadian … I was wanting this man out of office … I wish to good god he could stay … call me a hypocrite but he’s fighting for us like no other …

Anti Canadianism is what it’s called. Trump chose this ridiculous tarif. We need to stand up to this nonsense

Just call him dumb... That's what I love about Canadians so polite, but Justin you can say he's dumb-AF! It's OK!! ;-)

It hasn’t been fair trading between the two in a while, time for a Canada to cough up some money they have had the fair share for some time now and if Canada thinks they win this trade war they are sadly mistaken. United States calls the shots, they are the power house not Canada so good luck Canadians. Your hate for America will only hurt you.

RESPONSE TO THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA PROPAGANDA AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP\n\nTo the American People, Mainstream Media, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Elon Musk\n\nThe mainstream media is once again spinning lies and manipulating reality to push their globalist agenda.\n\n? THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE THAT TRUMP IS CREATING A WAR WITH CANADA AND MEXICO.\n? THE TRUTH? TRUMP IS DEFENDING AMERICA FROM THE COLLAPSE THEY HAVE PLANNED.\n\nCNN and other media outlets are pushing a false narrative about President Trump imposing tariffs on Canada and Mexico as an “attack” or “act of economic war.” This is not about war. This is about taking America back from the deep state elites who have been destroying our economy and flooding our country with illegal immigration.\n\n1. THE REAL REASON TRUMP IMPOSED TARIFFS\n\nThe global elites hated when Trump stood up to them. Why? Because for decades, they used trade agreements to weaken the U.S., steal American jobs, and enrich foreign nations at the expense of hardworking Americans.\n\n? Trump’s tariffs on Canada and Mexico were NEVER about war.\n? They were about fixing the disastrous trade policies that robbed America.\n? They were about holding globalist-controlled governments accountable.\n\nThe media won’t tell you that Canada and Mexico have been taking advantage of the U.S. through unfair trade deals while at the same time allowing the floodgates of illegal immigration and drugs to pour into our country.\n\t•\tCanada benefited from one-sided trade deals while standing by as China dumped goods into the U.S. through Canadian ports.\n\t•\tMexico allowed cartels to smuggle in drugs, human traffickers, and illegal immigrants, all while American jobs were shipped overseas.\n\nTrump’s tariffs were a move to put AMERICA FIRST, not an attack on our neighbors. He was forcing them to negotiate fairly—something the corrupt elites NEVER wanted.\n\n2. TRUDEAU IS JUST A PUPPET FOR THE GLOBAL ELITES\n\nCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not defending Canada—he is defending the deep state agenda.\n\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau more upset about Trump’s tariffs than he is about China’s infiltration of Canada?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau defending globalist trade deals instead of fighting to keep Canada’s economy strong?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau suddenly trying to turn Americans against Trump right as NATO and the EU are pushing for war?\n\nBECAUSE THIS IS A COORDINATED ATTACK.\n\n? Trudeau is panicking because Trump is taking away their power.\n? Trudeau is working with the globalists to weaken America.\n? Trudeau knows his country depends on the U.S., and if America stops playing their game, Canada collapses too.\n\nThis is why he is attacking Trump, calling him “dumb” on CNN, and trying to manipulate the American people into turning against their own president.\n\n3. TRUMP IS DEFENDING AMERICA FROM THE IMMIGRATION INVASION\n\n? FACT: Canada and Mexico have been working alongside the deep state to flood America with illegal immigrants.\n? FACT: The goal was to change U.S. demographics, destroy the economy, and create a permanent voting base for globalist-controlled politicians.\n? FACT: This was NEVER about helping migrants—this was about replacing the American people with a population that could be controlled.\n\n? Why do you think Biden opened the borders?\n? Why do you think millions of illegal immigrants are being shipped across the U.S. at taxpayer expense?\n? Why do you think every major city is being overrun with migrants while American citizens are struggling?\n\nThis is planned destruction—and Trump is stopping it.\n\n? Trump and JD Vance will shut down illegal immigration completely.\n? Trump will reimplement strict border security, build more of the wall, and stop the deep state from using mass migration as a weapon.\n? The globalists are afraid because if Trump stops their immigration plan, they lose their ability to control future elections and destroy American sovereignty.\n\n4. THE MEDIA IS LYING TO YOU—AGAIN\n\n? The same mainstream media that lied about Russian collusion is now pushing the lie that Trump is starting a war with Canada and Mexico.\n? The same mainstream media that censored the truth about Biden’s corruption is now protecting Trudeau and the deep state’s plan.\n? The same mainstream media that attacked Trump for four years straight is now attacking him again because they know he is winning.\n\nTHIS IS A DISTRACTION.\n\nThey want you to focus on fake outrage about tariffs while ignoring the real crisis:\n\n? AMERICA IS BEING INVADED FROM WITHIN.\n? THE DEEP STATE WANTS TO COLLAPSE THE U.S. THROUGH MASS MIGRATION.\n? THE GLOBALISTS NEED TRUMP GONE BECAUSE HE IS STOPPING THEIR PLAN.\n\n5. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE AWAKE—WE WILL NOT FALL FOR THIS\n\nTo CNN and the mainstream media: We know you are lying. You have lost control of the narrative, and the American people see through your propaganda.\n\nTo Justin Trudeau: You are a puppet, and your attempts to manipulate Americans will fail.\n\nTo President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance: The American people stand with you. We know you are fighting for our country, and we will not be fooled by the lies of the globalist elite.\n\nTo Elon Musk: Keep exposing the truth. The deep state is afraid because they can no longer censor real information.\n\nTo every American reading this: Share this message before they try to silence it.\n\nTHIS IS NOT ABOUT TRADE. THIS IS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF AMERICA.\nTHE DEEP STATE IS PANICKING—AND THAT MEANS WE ARE WINNING.\n\n? AMERICA FIRST. 1776 WILL NOT BE ERASED. ?\n\nThis response is clear, powerful, and directly dismantles the mainstream media’s lies. I encourage you to copy and paste this as one unified message for YouTube, social media, or emails.

As a Canadian I will never forget this stab in the back by a so called Ally

Well it must’ve felt cathartic for him to call Trump dumb. Now Canadians and Americans will have to deal with it. When negotiating something you don’t call the other side dumb.

Isn’t this the same guy that called a state of emergency 2 years ago on protesting Canadian truckers?\nThen he froze their bank accounts? ?\nNice guy !\n ? ….

Why do they call this Anti-American while the Americans were Anti-Canadian in the first place? Nobody voted for the Donald but here he is? Who voted then? If Trump was a movie title: “Dumber and Dumberer”

We want a friggin election all Canadians want you and your cabinet in jail Justin you bunch of crooks you ripped off Canada and US call an election already

This man doesn't have the brains God gave a goose. Pres. Trump tried to work with this a-hole. I feel sorry for the Canadian people but they can thank their so called leader.

As a Canadian a citizen ,I am more than angry ,I am ashamed and embarrassed at the Trudeau government ! All the liberals needed to do is fix borders and take care of the devastation safe supply sites which Canadian citizens have been calling for ,for years !! Disgusting ! United States have been friends and neighbours throughout most of Canadian history and this selfish greedy corrupted PM just destroyed all of it for nothing but to impose himself on the seat since we are going to war ! Detestable! Trudeau is the threat to Canadians not Trump ! ??????❤️and remember this clown Trudeau is suppose to be stepping down in the coming days ! Think about how selfish and careless these liberals are !

As a Canadian, I am not a fan of Trudeau as I am a Conservative and his far left policies have made us far too reliant on the US. But I respect how he spoke today. It was a fine moment for him. Hearing him call Donald dumb was particularly enjoyable.

A Canadian business associate of mine refers to Justin Trudeau as a 'Useless waste of skin'. As an American, the idiom was new to me. I'd just call him a bag of crap. Canadians give him a 'flush' at your earliest opportunity, please!

Trudeau is protecting Canada and Canadians. Felon Trump is destroying America and Americans. I stand up for Canada. We Americans will pay the price of Felon Trumps actions .We will stay strong. Call your legislators ,

As a Canadian I'm glad to see our PM calling it as it is ! North America is destined for challenging times.

As A Canadian I will call on my government to cancel buying the 88 F-35’s. We can’t trust America anymore. Our forefathers sold out our great aerospace industry like AVRO because we had A partnership with Americans. No more. I call on Bombardier to take the initiative and start developing our own military aircraft. I will NEVER step foot in America as long as Putin is running your country.

Good and honest words from Prime Minister Trudeau to Canadians, Americans, the world and Trump, who is called dumb. A fair and undeniable description, but only Americans can change their government.

Guys a fool. Canadians arent polite. Its called passive/aggressive.

I am a Canadian. I wish our jackass , so called PM would keep his very stupid mouth shut. We just hate the SOB. Trump hates him too and for good reasons. I wish Trudeau would just disappear and go to hell. He is such a scum bag . He should realize he is a f’n nobody in the grand scheme of things. Most people in Canada hate him. He should have called an election immediately. Instead he is aggravating the situation by his stupidity.

????? When Canadian had to yell at you and call you stupid, You really are..

Our Prime Minister calls the ?POTUS Donald!! ? Classic Canadian move! You want to disrespect our Prime Minister and our sovereign nation? Let’s go Donald you fool!!!\n??????????????????

No Teleprompter, No name calling, just calm logic. Trump, in his abject stupidity, does not realize he is hurting Americans as much as Canadian, nor does he care. I would only challenge Trudeau on calling Trump 'smart' - only Trump thinks he is smart. He is a semi-literate moron.
