You rail against murderous dictators, but you are friends with the worst one, the US. They just murder other countries' people like the Palestinians and set up dictators in other countries. It's pretty laughable to hear either the US or US supporters complaining about Putin as a murderous dictator whose crimes are but a fraction the US's.

I'm really sorry for the US citizens to have now their worst president ever, and to be friend with (just imagine..) PUTIN !!\nStanding with Canada and Ukraine!

Trumps own words, “Vote for me, you will never have to vote again!” \nThis one is showing up on several pages. Make up your own mind. \nThere is something rancid in America, a slow, creeping rot that smells like cold McDonald’s fries, aerosol hairspray, and the unmistakable musk of a country too sedated to recognize its own hostage situation. For years, the idea that Donald Trump was compromised by Russia was dismissed as paranoid fantasy—just another wild-eyed conspiracy theory, another overblown headline in the endless saga of American political dysfunction. \nBut now, two former Soviet intelligence officers—Alnur Mussayev and Yuri Shvets—are saying it outright: Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987, groomed as an asset, and remains under Russian control to this day. \nAnd the worst part? He’s already back in the White House. \nThat’s right, America. You did it. You walked face-first into the banana peel of history, slipped, and fell straight into the arms of Vladimir Putin. Trump was kicked out in 2020, spent four years plotting his comeback, and now he’s returned, like a bloated, orange cockroach that just won’t die. The Kremlin’s favorite stooge is running the country again, and this time, he knows exactly how to stay in power. \nIf you think this is just another round of the Trump Show, you’re not paying attention. This isn’t politics anymore. This is treason. This is foreign subversion. This is a God forsaken coup in slow motion. \nLet’s break it down, nice and simple. \nAlnur Mussayev isn’t some Twitter conspiracy theorist with a tinfoil hat and a podcast. He’s the former head of Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee, which means he knows exactly how Russian intelligence works—because he was part of the system. And what he’s saying should make every American’s blood run cold. \nAccording to Mussayev, Trump was identified, recruited, and compromised by the KGB in 1987 during his first trip to Moscow. They saw him for what he was: a narcissistic, greedy, attention-starved buffoon who could be easily manipulated. The KGB flattered him, promised him business deals, and planted the seeds of political ambition in his empty little head. And from that moment on, he was their man. \nBut Mussayev isn’t alone. Former KGB major Yuri Shvets said the exact same thing in 2021: Trump was cultivated by Soviet intelligence because he was an easy mark—too stupid to realize he was being played, too egotistical to care. They saw him as a useful idiot—a man who could one day be nudged into power, a walking, talking Trojan Horse for Russian interests. \nAnd now? The plan has worked. Trump spent four years in office weakening America from within, got booted out, and now he’s back for round two. \nIf you had told the American public in 1962 that a Soviet-backed asset would one day sit in the White House, they would have burned Washington to the ground before letting it happen. But today? Nobody seems to care. \nThe media treats this like just another wacky subplot in the never-ending Trump reality show. Congress is too busy fighting over meaningless culture war nonsense to do anything about it. And the American public? Exhausted. Numb. Checked out. Years of scandals—Russia collusion, Ukraine blackmail, classified documents, tax fraud, sexual assault, an attempted coup—have fried the country’s brain like an overcooked steak at Mar-a-Lago. \nTrump has done the impossible. He has committed so many crimes, so openly, so brazenly, that none of them matter anymore. \nAnd now, with Mussayev’s revelation that Trump is an active foreign asset, we have finally reached the point where the biggest political scandal in American history is met with a collective shrug. \nThis is how democracy dies—not with a bang, but with a goddamn eye-roll. \nThis is the part where the skeptics start clutching their pearls. “Oh, come on,” they say. “If Trump were really a Russian asset, wouldn’t there be more proof?” \nTo which I say: Are you blind, or just willfully stupid? \nLet’s go through the evidence, shall we? \nTrump spent his entire first term doing exactly what Russia wanted. He attacked NATO, calling it “obsolete” and threatening to pull the U.S. out. He tried to blackmail Ukraine into manufacturing dirt on Joe Biden, because weakening Ukraine helps one man and one man only: Vladimir Putin. He pulled U.S. troops out of Syria, handing power over to Russian forces. He picked fights with Canada and Europe while cozying up to dictators. \nEven now, in his second term, he is more openly pro-Putin than ever. He has made it clear that he will not protect NATO allies from Russian aggression. He is actively dismantling America’s alliances, just as Russia planned. And while Americans scream at each other over whether Target should sell rainbow t-shirts, Trump is quietly selling the country to the Kremlin. \nAt some point, you have to stop calling it a coincidence and start calling it what it is: treason. \nThe United States is running out of time. If Trump serves out this term without being removed, America as a functioning democracy is finished. \nThe media needs to wake up. Enough with the “Trump fatigue” excuse. This is not just another scandal—this is the single greatest infiltration of American power in history. Journalists need to dig into Mussayev’s claims, demand declassification of intelligence files, and treat this like the national emergency that it is. \nCongress needs to subpoena Mussayev immediately. His testimony must be public, and every document he has should be reviewed. If there is proof that Trump has been compromised since the 1980s, the American people need to know. \nThe Justice Department needs to stop pretending that Trump is just another politician. If there is evidence that the sitting president of the United States is working in Russia’s interests, he must be removed from office and prosecuted for espionage. \nAnd the American public? You have one last chance. This is not about Republican vs. Democrat. This is not about taxes, gas prices, or whatever nonsense outrage is dominating the news today. This is about whether the United States remains a sovereign nation, or if we spend the rest of the century as a Russian client state with a golf course. \nThe sheer volume of Trump's corruption, the blatant nature of his crimes, the mountain of evidence that should have ended his political career a hundred times over—none of it mattered. He survived it all, not because he was innocent, but because he drowned the country in so much scandal that nothing stuck. \nBut this time, it’s different. If Mussayev and Shvets are right, this isn’t just another chapter in the endless Trump circus. This is the culmination of a decades-long Russian intelligence operation to install an asset in the White House. \nThere is no coming back from this. If America lets Trump serve out this term without removing him, then the United States as a democratic republic is finished. The country won’t collapse overnight. There won’t be tanks in the streets. Instead, the destruction of democracy will happen in slow motion—buried under lawsuits, propaganda, and corruption so blatant that people stop caring. \nIf America lets this happen—if Trump is allowed to complete his mission—then Putin wins. The West crumbles. And the people who could have stopped it will look back, years from now, and wonder how they let it happen. \nGood night, and good luck. Because if people don’t wake up, America is going to sleepwalk straight into its own funeral.

And this is how a loser, an enemy of Canada, which he worked to destroy from within, the worst Prime Minister in canadian history - Trudeau, suddenly becomes a hero because of the actions of the Manchurian president Trump.

O my our dictator is upset...he is the worst prime minister in our country's history.

I think Trudeau is the only one Canadian guilty of this problem. A French official disguised as a religious man was involved in drug trafficking with the Miami baggage handlers. He even commissioned the baggage handler to commit domestic terrorism for the benefit of France. Air Force pilots died as kamikazes to destroy the drugs while CLEANTOWN prevented the FBI from raiding Arkansas as usual under the pretext of religion. The worst thing is that this pretext did not prevent women and children from being burned in the Davidians as the ASOVs do in Ukraine. Submitting to the French government when they are going to have an import tax is allowing French products to pass through Canada to avoid paying tax. To be sure that this does not happen, they do not need a vassal of France who follows the liars, and this is not a hypothesis, it is a fact that a Canadian, either disguised customs, or director of 2 wheels, can confirm not the arrest of the baggage handler who traced the trail but the domestic HATRED of these so-called gentry French, the friend of the haters of the KKK of France is not a quality of security and alliance against hatred and sure that the taxe will be apply to the hatred.

Trudeau is the worst!!!!!

Since when is Trudeau interested in the welfare of Canadians.. After all the citizens are crippled by taxes, businesses closing, and Canada in the WORST state ever, America sees you as a joke, a pushover crippled by weird policies, a mismanaged oil rich country that can be bought with the flick of a finger, NOW you're suddenly concerned.. I call BULLSHIT

Bro flexes his bilinguality as well gadam… we as a country have the worst leaders…

These comments have to be bots ?. Trudeau is one of the worst leaders the world has ever seen. Took away Canadians rights. Took away free speech. Just to name a few. But he gives one good speech and all is forgotten?? Like I said, these comments HAVE to be bots lmaoo ?.

I fled russia in 2008, but I could not imagine, even in my worst nightmare, that russia would catch me in 2024.

It’s not a dumb thing for him to do. His goal is to stay out of prison for whatever Putin has on him. If he dismantles the country completely there will be no pathway to prosecute when the truth comes out which it will. Rather than dumb it’s a dark and sick and sociopathic thing to do parallel to only a handful of the worst bad actors in history. We need to distinguish between dumb and evil. This is the distinction the WSJ missed.

This is what IDIOCRACY does. Returning to XIX century, ignoring the lessons from history, only learning in the worst way: from the errors. That shouldn' t happen in the XXI century. The Brexit is full of regretful people, maga goes the same way.

Liberal trash around the world praising worst pm in Canadian history, just because he can shit in their ears. Impressive.

In a best case scenario, DJT will rescind the tariffs on Canadian goods. In the worst case, we get even poorer. If this happened after Trump became president the first time, the economy was strong from 4 years of Obama's presidency. Then COVID happened, and for alot of folks here, they haven't recovered financially. Savings and retirement plans are gone. Rent is higher, for many it takes over 50% of their income. So in this emergency time, there's nothing to fall back on. Oh and DOGE will cut SNAP benefits, I'm sure. That's food stamps, meant for the people struggling. It's becoming more and more of Americans. \nAm I depressed? No, I lived through Reagan's presidency. I'm cautious about life, my job, commuting to work, putting food on the table. I'm gonna try growing veggies. I already eat 75% of my meals at home or taken from home-cooked meals. I'm saving as best I can.

Trudeau is a hated man worst PM in years \nDetroyed Canada ??

As an American, we don’t want this either. I don’t understand what and why to be honest. All I know was in November 2024 I woke up to the worst feeling I have ever had. First time woke up ashamed and shame and fear to live in the United States. I never in my 60 years thought that hatred hiding behind Christianity would prevail. As an American at the last years of my life I want to say to Canada, Mexico , Puerto Rico, Ukraine and all our European allies, I am sorry we let you down.

Someone has to stop this psychopath, the worst president in history. How can we afford food or rent at this point??? If he’s doing tariff then he should start paying Americans $3000 a month each family. What a psychopath!

The Orange Reich makes us the worst neighbor.\nWe fought it but couldn't overcome the vote suppression, per psychiatrists media brainwashing, and hundreds of millions billionaires spent on electing the Mad Orange Dictator so he would enrich them and hurt the other 99.9999997% of us and the world.\nCanada, please strike hard and call his bluff by making his supporters feel the insanity of his promises to hurt them and you. \nIf we can still vote next year, we'll switch the majority in Congress. \nThe majority of people here know you are a wonderful neighbor who has sent troops to fight with us in war, took in tens of thousands on 9/11, sent an extra Super Scooper to help during the LA fires, and been our best trading partner. \nI'm so sorry.\nP.S. Has anyone else noticed that MOD looks extra orange right now?

America! This is the Clown (Donal Trump) you selected as the president of the United States! Buckle up for the worst four years of your life! What a damn shame, I use to think Americans were some of the smartest people in the world, but I was very wrong! Donal can't even speak clearly, he has the mind of a child!

Worst PM Canada has ever had! He has destroyed our beloved Country. To little to late you POS! You should have been dealing with these problems during your ten years of destruction. Now you act? What a gaslighter??..

Trump is the worst thing to happen to america

Americans did not launch this trade war . Dumb and dumber did this. trump os the worst POTUS in history

Desperately trying to hold onto power by riding the Trump hate among Canadians. Speaking as a Canadian, get this incompetent criminal, perhaps the worst PM Canada has ever had, out so we can get someone who knows what they're doing to manage relations with the US.

American people have elected their worst enemy, a traitor and a crazy man who is isolating USA to the free world. IMPEACH TRUMP FOR FREEDOM

All of you Trudeau supporters are truly disturbing. He’s one of the worst politicians in history! Just ask the trucker convoy!!

Trudeau is a liberal jerk that has resigned as prime minister of Canada. He has lost all respect of Canadians. And who is paying attention CNN. THE WORST NEWS ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD.

We applaud you for doing the right thing!!! Trump is a bully and a convicted criminal who is the WORST PRESIDENT WE HAVE EVER HAD!!! \nThank you for standing up for the people!!!!!

You are the reason we are in this position, don’t blame Trump for your poor leadership, you are a terrible Priminister probably the worst in history just like Biden you need to go , you are a enemy to the Canadian people.

I can't watch this Bulls**t. Don't fall for this Academy performance. He is the WORST Prime Minister in Canadian history. This tariff trade never would of happened if we had an election and had Pierre Poilievre as our Prime Minister like Canadians wanted.

Trudeau is cooked, dug himself a hole he can never get out of..... worst canadian president ever

It’s hilarious that Trudeau has to call Trump a smart guy, knowing that he is so incredible childish and immature that otherwise he would just not listen. Trump is the worst president the US has ever had.

The Republicans have betrayed more than our old friends and allies with this astonishing attack on Canada, coming on the heels of Trump's performative assault on Ukrainian sovereignty. They've betrayed our constitutional republic, common sense, simple human decency, our core institutions, our people. The best of what we have ever been or hoped to be as a nation has been jettisoned to privilege the worst, including the South African billionaire who is currently dismantling Social Security, and the Russian tyrant who has hungered for years to kill NATO and the Western alliance, an outcome the Republicans are now handing him on a silver platter.

It's good to hear someone speak truth and call out trumps damages, trump will drive the United States straight into the worst recession we have ever had.

THANKS TRUMP AND MAGA....YOU ARE WORST THAN THE PANDEMIC IN 2020...THE MOST SET OF DOGSXXX FOR THIS DECADE..

In my mind, the best case scenario is that trump and his regime are lacking the ability to think long term strategically. The worst case scenario is that they are throwing grenades at the status quo, to create fake reasons to allow for expansion of US territory and make space for china and russia to do the same.

Saying Trump “doesn’t understand what this is doing” implies he’s not intelligent. I don’t think he’s intelligent, but let’s not pretend he doesn’t know what he is doing. He’s a Russian asset, Krasnov at the worst, an unwilling asset at the very least. He needs to be removed from office.

As an American I'm extremely saddened and disappointed by everyone who voted for Trump when we knew this day was coming. It's your fault this country is about to go through one of the worst economic periods ever.

Trump is one of the worst president since 1787

I think I want to move to Canada. America is full of shit too much gun violence. Nobody cares about all the innocent children that are dying and now we have a president who wants to make everybody’s lives miserable. For all of you that voted for Trump. I hope you see the truth of what he’s about a worthless individual a narcissistic psycho make America great that is the worst saying of all time he’s making America lousy.

Its not all Americans but the ones who support Trump deserve what they get , your leader is completely unhinged and causing hardship to all Americans it closest allies and chaos through-out the world while only defending dictator countries Americans need to get Trump out of office before before things much worst act now

Well said PM Trudeau. Scrap those border plan billions and the Fentanyl Czar. If the Amer-I-can border is such a worry for this embarrassment of a USA administration (worst in history and that is saying a lot), then let them invest in border controls to keep out the overwhelming flow from our beautiful country of fentanyl and illegal immigrants that DOESN’T exist. This is hateful and Trump and those who voted for him should be ashamed. Shame on you. We will not visit your country, we will not buy your products…you are no neighbours of ours (yes, we spell neighbours with “our”…). Trump is hateful.

What the vast majority of people imagined was that the day the United States went to war, it would be with its worst enemies, Russia, Iran, North Korea. Almost no one imagined that the United States would declare war on friendly countries and trading partners. Of course, it is a trade war, but it could escalate into something much worse. Nothing should be ruled out, we have already seen that anything can be expected from Trump and his entourage.

Trump is slowly going to destabilise the USA deliberately in order to bring on a civil war & uprising so that he can involve the military to help him control the country by force. Mark my words that's his grand plan at home, he wants total control. Don't let him win if this happens. He wants an authetarian state similar to Russia, him & Musk, vance. Then he will try and take Greenland or even Canada, he will try to wind his supporters up into a frenzied in some way or form to basically pick a fight. With a military style rule over the USA he will then start to invade his neighbours or any other mineral rich nation. This is the worst possibility God bless it never materialises.

Gangsters currently rule USA, and no doubt USA will pay for electing bad leaders. The people need to do whatever worst earliest to prevent the fall of that great nation

the worst part of this show “commercial war” is that voters in USA are the ones who elected for trump & nazi’s psychopaths!! to feed their love to racism, they are sick & blind…. So does not matter what explanation you have to show how wrong they are, nothing works in sick twisted minds of nazis, they are fed with vile & hate , they don’t care if they look bad, of if they sink their own country with them.

one orange guy is single handedly making us the worst country on the planet.

I’m an American and I did Not vote for Trump. I knew he would destroy our country if he was elected. Many people are angry in America that Trump has launched this trade war with our Canadian friends. We love our neighbors. Many Americans do not want this. We are not happy with how things are changing for the worst in our country and in other countries. We are being ruled by an insane, thug/criminal and bully and his rich, puppet buddies. Diplomacy is not in their vocabularies. This is so sad. Stay strong Canada??

Another true leader showing how sick, sad, and pathetic the Republican Party and American so-called 'conservatives' are. Tump is the worst president, maybe the worst national leader in modern history. Thank god other nations have not succumbed to the Putin loving sickness of the Republican Party.
