The prime minister should not call Trump a very smart person, but what he is in fact. A dump, arrogant, egocentric criminal. His constant lies need to be exposed and publically corrected. Maybe if enough people do this publically it will drive Trump so crazy and he will react so crazy, that even his most loyal minions will realize they will need to get rid of him!

A real man that has morals and integrity. Trump will still lie and blame the tariffs on Canada.

Justin may not be liked but this is an example of a politician not only giving straight truthful information but also taking action. Trump thinks bully tactics will give him a negotiation advantage. A tactic he is now applying at a global level. No one will win in this situation due to the bubble of lies that the US public lives and believes is truth. A horrible situation.

Listen Trump lied to Americans he said he don't know project 2025 fired our federal workers Americans are not to blame for Trump lies your issue is with him not the citizens once again he lied to us

Thank you for calling out trumps lies, its what we need so those Americans that have been bamboozled by this grifter #FAKEPRESIDENT

You all around the world, making the mistake of siding with foolish leaders who's own public do not support them against Donald Trump--when the majority of Americans do--will feal the wrath of every single American, who is sick of being bullied by you. We do not have to pay your bills. We do not have to keep your country safe. Keep running your mouth, CNN and dividing this country and the world with your lies. Everyone knows Zelenskyy was disrespectful to Biden and Trump and Vance--who we owe nothing to. Ukraine is not an ally of ours. Ukraine will never be allowed to NATO. And all of you can enjoy the tariffs. We don't need you we don't model our behavior after you. You'll never be America. You will never understand what it means to be American. You will never come into our Oval Office and disrespect our president, Democrat, or Republican and get away with it. Shame on you for your lies! You know better but you get paid well. This is why your ratings are in the tank and only those lacking any logical critical thinking still watch you.

He's talking crazy, they need to stop lying about Trump and Russia. Should they always take advantage of us!

Simple Donold Trump is a lying, manipulative wannabe DICKtator. Donold Trump is an embarrassment to decent Americans. Sir do not back down or bow down to the Mango Mussolini aka Donold Trump.

How come still nobody knows what Putin has on Trump? What was this secretive meeting in Helsinki years ago about? What was discussed there? Trump being Trump, who lies and who is weak of charactre and as bribeable and corrupt as they come. Can't put a normal sentence together. Picture that big toddler in a room with Putin and Putin alone.. Nobody knows what was discussed there. Now they have a president picking fights with his allies. He is fumbling at the very basis which NATO, Europe and US stands for, stood for.\nAt this point Trump basically is putting USA into isolation. Putin and Xi couldn't be more happy.

Trump is a bully and can never back down from any thing. Don't protest, VOTE! You had a clear alternative to all the craziness, but opted for the craziness. You were lied to, but too ignorant to see through the lies. You get what you vote for!

They use Fentanyl, DEI, Woke, immigrants, Gov't waste, as a key word to justify the tearing down. Trump can lie to the uneducated that he loves, the racist and the greedy, but other Countries will check him. The Skipper and Gilligan is on this super hero movie villain tip.

That's because the president of the US is a lying, abusive psychopath. This is a sad day in our history and Trump will be remembered, the most important thing to him, but not for being great. He will be remembered as the worst thing that's ever happened to our country

As an American and live near the border of Canada ?? in western ny ? I’m sorry to the people of Canada ? trump is the worse to take office our country. And he lied to our people

I’m glad he spoke to the American people people again, it’s important they have the truth said from others besides the American Democratic Party; the Trump base are constantly constantly being lied to and gas lit by that administration and Republican Elected Officials :

From Arkansas, USA, i firmly and proudly stand with Canada. And on behalf of all those too simple to see whats been happening and what is happening, i wholeheartedly apologize. Though he didnt have to lie to trump and tell him hes a smart man ? we all know thats not true

This is what our President should like. Not like the orange clown we currently have. Voting in Trump will very bad for this country. I may immigrate to Canada. At least that country is lead by adults where lying is not the norm.

As an American who was born here and live here for over 50 years, I am so ashamed of this government, the republican politicians and some of the democratic politicians. The MAGA cult is overwhelming our everyday lives in combination with Trump, Vance and Musk vast amounts of lies, deceit, disrespect for the low-middle class American families, cozying up to the fascist dictator Putin, turning your back on our best ally Canada by instigating these ridiculous tariffs, and a whole host of other atrocities that have occurred in the past few weeks. Let this sink in... in the past few weeks! What is it going to be like in a few months or by the end of this term? With the way it's going, we're going to be damned lucky that we're going to be here at all, otherwise Trump and Putin can rule over a nuclear decimated scorched earth. Americans that are already sick, tired and completely fed up with all of the grandiose shit-storm actions coming out of the White House, please do what you absolutely can to shout from the rooftops, we will not concede, we will not bow down and kiss the ring, we will not be bullied and we will not stand idly by and watch a narcissistic, misogynistic, blow-hard dictator-loving(Putin), felonious bully and all his butt-munching fuck-tard cronies burn this country to the ground. RESISTANCE!

MAGA has lied to America...The only Golden Age is for Trump and Elon's Oligarchs....they are the only ones filling their pockets with tax brakes.\nThe normal person will have to pay higher prices \nsince the Trump's tariff are going to be added to the price of the goods.

One lie. Trump is not smart. Morally he's an idiot There are many mammals with higher values. Parrots are more articulate and honest.

It makes me ashamed that respectable allies have to lie and say Trump is a smart man...

LYING TURDEAU OPENS HIS MOUTH BUT CHINA IS TALKING. USA DON'T BE FOOLED. TURD TURDEAU IS A COOMUNIST BASTARD OUT TO F@@@@CK THE USA AND TRUMP. THIS IS A PSY-OPS BY COMMUNISTS

Trump is lying to the American people like he always has and does, the man can not tell the truth. The American people are sincerely sorry.

Another lie from convicted felon Trump

Trudeau is lying, thief and liar. Canadians don’t like him. Is he carrying a mirror? He loves himself. You ate a liar. You bankrupted Canada. I have a lot of relatives there throughout Canada. You were told by millions of Canadians to step down. \nWe Americans have zero respect for Trudeau. Trudeau loves attention! Go sit down, asshole. God bless our President Trump! \nYour border is better because of President Trump, you moron!\nYou are lying. \nYou are a butt kisser, Trudeau… you are taking credit for President Trumps accomplishments. What a clown. But then you are right up CNNs alley. \nYour lies are incredible. \nLie after lie after lie. You could care less about Canadians! Trudeau is a LIAR. This is my opinion based on fact.

TRUMP DOING NOTHING FOR FAMILIES ..INFLATION HAS TRIPPLED!   BUT HIM AND HIS BILLIONAIRES ARE $$$ RICHER WHILE HOLDING HIS FOLLOWERS IN LIMBO MIND SET WITH CONSPIRACIES  AND LIES. FOOLISH AMERICANS!

Another Trump lie, lowers taxes, then impose a hidden tax with tariffs to get more money out of Americans.

From the netherlands, Go Canada! Lets indeed not forget that there are lots of good americans, and americans who felt in comrade Trumps Lies. Stay safe!

Nothing Trump does makes sense. He’s an utter embarrassment. He’s making our country look like a backwards, oppressive, “pile of garbage”. If any MAGA bothered to research is life back to the 70’s and 80’s they’d find Trump was NEVER good at business. He was good at running them into the ground. He hasn’t a republican cell in his body. He doesn’t care which party or what ideology anyone is, so long as they’re naive and ignorant enough to buy his lies and bullshit. It’s just all about Trump. Everything he’s doing is contrary to making America great. Ironic that there are many so-called Christians who support him, when he fits the biblical description of the Antichrist a bit too well. It’ll take decades to restore America’s standing in the world, because that narcissistic, bloated, power-hungry, piece of shit wants to keep attention centered on him. He’s doing all he can to keep us stupid, and brainwashed, because anyone who’s intelligent, and has any level of critical thinking poses a threat. When will the orange Kool aid wear off?…and btw, I’m not a liberal. I’m not a democrat. I’m rational.

Trump is a LIAR!!! He loves to lie to his base because they will believe anything he says, will not fact check and wouldn't believe it anyway!! This is trumps plan to divide the US and divide the free world!!! Putins puppet!!!!

This clowns been destroying Canada since day 1 , nothing but lies from a weasel... in major cities we are having a o.d a hour from that filth and they sre doing NOTHING! Trump is doing the right thing and trying to protect u.s citizens, wish we had that up here\n\nKeep up the pressure ? merica

He talks about Trump and Putin, but he didn't talk about how he has been in bed with the Chinese Communist Party. You would think being the son of a reported child rapist father he would be not wanting to say too much about anybody. He was given a reprieve and made the decision to do nothing. He lied to Trump and then sat on his hands. Trudeau needs to give Canada a gift and get the heck out of the office that he was voted out of awhile ago.

What Trump lying? No say it ain’t so I’m surprised. ?????

Listen to the details people.... We get energy, building materials and fertilizer from Canada.. he forgot to mention cars. Nothing we can't do ourselves. We are fully energy independent... We do not need to import. Prices will drop. Cars... Trump is bringing back manufacturing... Prices will drop. Fertilizer... I mean shit and rotten food is not hard to get. Building material... We send them more than they send us. \n\nYou cannot just run on emotion. Thats what he is stirring in you. Look at the way he twist things. Is he directly lying... No... But he is cherry picking details. Canada gets a lot more from us than we do them and what we get from them is rapidly decreasing and he is in panic mode.

Trump is a madman out to blow up the planet and profit in the destruction. Lying theif.

ha ha, clever of Trudeau to butter up trump by lying and saying he's smart. you know that's the only takeaway trump heard in this whole speech. Fitting too, since all he understands is lying.

Keep this speech in mind when you listen to Trump's unclear, rambling, lie-filled speech tonight. And decide, which country should be more proud of their leader?

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

Where is our Fing justice department and supreme court ???WE NEED TRIMP OUT AND OVERTHROWN‼️\nWe need TRUMP OUT….TRUMP OUT TRUMP OUT TRUMP OUT TRUMP OUT…. STUPID LYING TRUMP

Where is our Fing justice department and supreme court ???WE NEED TRIMP OUT AND OVERTHROWN‼️\nWe need TRUMP OUT….TRUMP OUT TRUMP OUT TRUMP OUT TRUMP OUT…. STUPID LYING TRUMP

Of course trudeau talks a bunch of shit. LIAR!!!! ALL LIES!!! He has never spent a day in toronto where i live and fentynol is taking over! Homelessness everywhere. Drug users taking over playgrounds and transit systems. Ugh i hate him!!! Trump is looking after his country and all trudeau wants to do is point more fingers and make americans hate their own president and spreading lies and propaganda again! Hes a LIAR

Trump needs to be held responsible for this mess. With Ukraine, with Canada, and with Putin. He lied to us, as he always does.

Trump has sold the lie that tariffs will pay for many great things. 1-It's a direct-to-consumer tax. 2-History has proven that tariff wars are bad for all concerned. P.S. Warren Buffet recently said that if all US corporations paid taxed like his companies do, We'd have no need for income taxes. Trump works from the other end of the tunnel that Ideally no taxes for corporations, and the wealth will trickle down and bless us all.

Geez CNN, you did not let your American audience hear some of the most important things said! Americans, if you want to know everything, go to CBC and listen to the whole broadcast! AND GEEZ, American journalists STOP repeating the lies... you know from the facts on your own border website that THIS IS NOT ABOUT FENTANYL OR ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION! It's shocking to me how you all keep repeating Trump's false claims when you know they are FALSE!

Americans understand, unfortunately Canada has no choice but to protect their citizens and their businesses. The fault lies squarely with dictator want-to-be Trump and his corrupt MAGA maggot republican politicians, and those who voted for them ???

As a Canadian I stand proudly on guard for my amazing sovereign country ❤ ?? ❤\nWe must protect ourselves from this extremely old, dumb Liar ,bully. Puppet Master want to be dictator, convicted felon, sexual predator and supporter of the war criminal killer, lying and bully Putin and Russia. \n\nI see what's happening to the American people, your constitution and bill of Rights because of trumps and his bunch of thugs administration and this will hurt both Canadian's and every single American, the United States is in great danger because of this deranged very old orange child bully who is in love with dictators. Youre country has been in decline and no longer the great coountry that the United States were. Believe me trump cares nothing for the American people. God bless you as both our countries, Mexico, and all countries are being hurt by trump/ Vance administration. As they support the dictator \nPutin the war criminal and lying bully.\nTrump / Vance are not Peace MAKERS and the war criminal and brutal dictator putin will never stop the war.\nThe world is that much closer to world war 3 because of trump bromance with putin.

It disgusts me so much how stupid the Americans could be to elect this rubbish! At the same time, I learned a lot: I always wondered how the Nazis came to be here - now I know! Lies and shit-talk and people will believe you! It makes me sad and angry that we humans are apparently NOT able to learn. \n \nOnce again, it hits US little people the hardest: Trump, Weidel and all their names are playing golf and denying royally and we are in trouble. \n \nI wonder how much longer we want to watch this?

Where did Putin get all his money? He stole it from the Russian government. Is Trump putting these tariffs on countries so more money comes into the government so he can steal it like Putin did, he loves Putin and wants to be like Putin. This is highly possible. Given Trumps record of cheating and lying to gain riches I say it is very possible. Trump should be in prison for Jan 6 not counting the 34 felonies he committed.

trump is just using lies to justify whatever he wants. just like putin. should be a big give away what time of person trump is

Trumps small, petty ego battles are very costly to the average American and to lives around the world. Trump does not care. He is incapable of empathy. His ego battle and extortion racket with Zelenskyy is costing lives. Trump doesn't care. A hundred thousand extra lives were lost during Covid in America because of Trumps, ignorance, lies and disinformation. Trump didn't care. Lives were lost in Haiti because of Trumps hurricane response incompetence. Trump could have cared less. Trump sold out the Kurds in Syria. Thousands of lives were lost. Trump didn't care. He's a sick man and American voted him in. Now we have to live with it. Here in America, there is going to be a step too far. For half of America, Trump is way passed that. Dictators only respond to strength. Thank you Canada for making a strong and firm stand.

Why are those 2 people standing behind him trying not to smile when Trudeau is making up that Trump wants a trade war and he's siding with Putin? This guy is trying to start problems and spreading lies to keep the division going!!! That is the whole plan with this whole Ukraine deal!!! Stop funding the wars and we could all move forward not with this BS!!!
