dumbo trump and podgy face haranguing 'thank you' insistng from foreign leaders czar vance must go.

Thank you so much for your wise and words. I’m not an canadian nor american, but I feel just a little better now after all horrível Trump interventions.

Thanks to everyone who voted for Mr Trump I hope you're happy!

Canada, my greatest respect to you. Thank you for doing what you have to do to do. I am hopeful that with world pressure such as yours, we can rid our country of trump and his followers. Thank you for staying strong and pushing back on our absolute embarrassment of a terrible leader.

We love you, Mr. Prime Minister ♥️ Trump is an EVIL, AWFUL person! Thank you for standing AGAINST him!!

As an American I am grateful to Canada and I will continue to buy Canadian products. The “leaders” of America are shameful bullies. So far, nearly every attempt that has been made to stop this madness ultimately gets turned over by someone in Trump’s pocket. Thank you for standing up to the bullies. I wish the best for you!

This summer will be in the biggest recession just a great depression and it’ll be due to the Trump’s and the Trumper’s the price is a good goods will be astronomical. Thank you Republicans.

Uh, it's no WE... no, he, Trump, is in bed with Putin. Thanks, T, for the warning. We are at the mercy, unfortunately, of these dictators!!?

As an American I definitely understand why Canada is doing this. Our current government here sucks. Counting down till the day trump is out of office. Thank you for standing up for yourself and your people. Guarantee that is pissing trump off

This is the dumbest timeline all thanks to Trump

Thank you Trudeau. Trump is now fucked. He can't back up or he's going to look weak. AND the rest of the world is going to follow. The world needed this!

I'm American, I do not support what Trump is doing to our government, and our allies . Thank you Prime Minister of Canada, you must do what you feel us right for your Country.

Thank you Mr Trudeau, from a US citizen, for speaking THE TRUTH and acting like a real leader of a country who is one of our friends and allies. Trump is an idiot who is taking our country into a spiraling disaster.

The reason for this 'trade war' is not about 'trade'. It's about 'creating chaos' so that president Trump is the 'centre' of world attention. A malignant naracistic individual apparently cannot have anyone seemingly to be 'doing better' or being more successful than he is. Canada ?? is a very successful nation and because of its economic success it is creating envy and apparently hatred in certain individuals who view the success of Canada ?? as a threat to themselves. The USA now apparently cannot see the value of a strong and stable economy as its near neighbours. Thats why apparently there are some who now want to crash the Canadian economy and when times then 'get tough' the blame and responsibility for this chaos will be accepted by whom. Presidents and Prime Ministers come and go. Once their 'term is over' they simply 'walk away'. World leaders need to be men or women of integrity and honesty who 'do the right thing'. With 'great power' comes 'great responsibility'. You only 'give responsibility' to someone who has the wisdom and expertise and understanding in order to both 'hold' and 'govern' wisely and without fear or favor. Maybe its time for others in positions of authority in other institutions to step in and 'take control'. You would never let a child drive a super car on the highway so how much 'damage' has to happen before a world leader is not 'held to account' and his 'hands removed' from the steering wheel before there is a motor accident so large that the freeway is rendered unless and has to be totally shut down your. You cannot have total power in the hands of individuals who apparently do not possess the necessary skills knowledge and experience and wisdom that is required to fulfil the role they were elected to fulfil. A person with the mind and mentality of a child apparently is not a fit person to be running the economy of any nation. May Canada ?? remember its roots and may we all be thankful for true and honest leaders who have integrity and do and say the right thing. Thank you Mr Prime minister. I trust that King Charles III has heard what his Canadian prime minister has said and what he is doing with total integrity.

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

go Europe. thanks for being honest. this american wants trump out of office, soon. the working class americans do not have the power, so diappionted with our GOP. they too away from our veterans, our farmers, children of the world, our elderly and us.

He’s the common sense president….helping Russia and blasting allies. Makes total perfect sense, right?! We clearly have our common sense way…thank you Mr Trump for showing us who your real ally is. We needed this lesson for the help we gave on 911 etc. shame on us! I hope we’ve learnt a valuable lesson.

CNN is full of bots and they are anti American. These comments are all fake propaganda. Thank you President Trump keep the heat on them until they respect us .

This is what real leadership looks like. Thank you Trudeau for speaking the truth to Trump. Unfortunately, it will probably fall on deaf ears.

You say there's no need or reason for these tariffs but that is according to you. Donald Trump has made it very clear what he asks from the Canadian people. You are choosing to do something but not everything he's asking. He doesn't want to be unfair to anybody, but he also doesn't want to be treated unfairly as a country. So please listen to what he asks. He holds all the cards again. He can and will destroy your economy and you will become his and our 51st State. Thank you

Stop calling Trump smart, please, and thank you.

Rudeness is a weak imitation of strength. Thank you Canada for accelerating Trump’s way out of the WhiteHouse.-from a FilAm ?? ??

As an American, I would like to thank PM Trudeau for taking a stand against the trump administration.

I am a US citizen who does not want trump as president. I don't want these tariffs against Canada or Mexico. I'm so sorry trump is doing these tarrifs. Do what you must for your people. I'll support Canada and the Mexican people. Thank you

Thank you trump for not being a coward like Biden. America 1st, I’m glad trump and Vance stood up to that ungrateful clown

Thank you for showing trump what a real leader looks like.

Get to know the facts b4 you criticize the President. Did you listen to the whole thing. He agreed to sign the deal then when to the presser in the oval office and rejected it after talking to the democrats 2 hrs b4 the meeting. What can you expect from a comedian turned president who stops elections becuz there is a war going on. Now thats a dictator. Zellenski takes 80 billion in usa aid and after 3 years has no intention of ending the war. He lost 25 percent of his urkanin people so far. The usa was backing that comedian and never once said thank you. Zellenski sabotaged the meeting not Trump. Learn your facts b4 you criticized the President. I know trump is evil be uz hes a republican. All democrats are good . This isnt the democratic party I was born and raised on. Obama 5 wars. Biden 4 wars . President Donald J TRUMP 0000000 wars. Learn your facts. Stop hating . Such ignorant uneducated disrespectfully people who get their news from msnbc and cnn. People who dont follow main steam media are uniformed . People who follow msnbc are misinformed. The dems are the cult. Country people are not kkk beer drinking racist. Their values are GOD FAMILY COUNTRY.

A big thank you to all other Countries that stand behind Canada. Proud to be Canadian! The drug problem does come from China to Mexico then it ends up in Canada. Trump needs to do his research. Canada proud!????????

Wow...Justin Trudeau is so disrespectful to Trump...and I don't think I heard him say thank you even once during this speech! Not acceptable! Justin needs to learn that he has no cards!

Ohioan here. Thank you Canada. Someone has to stand up to trump and his spineless Republican party.

Thank you Canada - for doing what the GOP refuses to do. Hold Trump accountable.

Thank you for using easy words for trump

Blistering speech? lol Trudeau is an authoritarian idiot, socialist. We need him gone. Thank your lucky stars you have Trump making America great again.

Thank you, PM Trudeau, for looking out for America & its people as well as Canada & its citizens. The bizarre aberration which is Trump is a threat to all.

I am not a fan of our Prime Minister but I stand beside him as a proud Canadian. Thank you Prime Minister Tuesday for sending this strong message to that traitor Trump. He has no clue how Canadians rallied to support Americans in our homes when 911 happened. Americans, please take your country back.
