One specific American ‘Donald’ ?How patronizing can you get President Trudeau.He sounds all big calling President Trump ‘Donald’. How fake he is , I bet he stood for hours infront of the mirror practice that delivery ?.. Let’s see how this disrespect works for him. Same as it worked for Zelensky .. He’ll be ordering humble pie after that. TRUMP won’t be mocked.

Rich people like inflation. The last scorching inflation we had in the 80s, CDs for 3 years and only 10,000 dollars drew 13.5%, there was also high, high, high unemployment, home loans were 18.5% interest with good credit. This set the farmers up or losing their farms and the Savings and Loan collapse and the subsequent 113 Billion Bail out. This was WITHOUT gutting our federal agencies, cutting back on SNAP and Medicaid and firing federal employees and gutting the agencies' ability to do oversight with the Offices of Inspector General. I can't even tell you why Dept. of Defenses is calling off our cyber defenses against Russia who hacks everything in America nuclear power plants, hydro, etc. Got my gas today - our refineries are fitted for Canadian oil though it's not a 25% tariff but Canada could slap an export tax on it to be paid by us.

So we can all agree that this is some bullshit. We all agree that Russia should not be calling our shots. \nSo lets do something about it.

The thing is Trump will start directing sales to Russia. It’s the only logical outcome unless Trump wants to walk back his tariffs. Gonna call it now, he’s gonna lift the trade ban with Russia and direct American goods there.

Pot calling kettle black. Dictator himself. Castro through and through.

Idiot calling Putin a murderer....you really want to be a Russian enemy ?\nYou failed Canada, and you are immature to take care of a county.

Trump actually responded disrespectfully calling him Governor...discusting, what trash he is

Please stop calling it. A rule change. Our laws have been the same for decades, and it is still unlawful and it’s always been unlawful to just walk into our country sneak into our country unlawfully and claim asylum only because they got caught that has always been against the law so they need to go back go back. Go back. Go back to.

Trump is playing 4D Chess calling out the world’s dumbest leaders first. Then he will let them bury themselves just like Zelenskyy and this Canadian Wanker.

Blah blah blah Justine. MAGA trusts TRUMP/VANCE. We don’t back Putin but you can’t call him a psychopath to his face and expect him to agree to a peace deal. Dum ba$$.

So Canada is allowed to secure their border and be proud of that but when trump does it these same people come out and call on him not to be racist and care for his neighbour? Everything this man says is a lie

Trudeau told one atrocious lie and that was when he was addressing Trump and calling him a very smart man.

but he’s NOT smart‼️that’s the whole issue. when will we call a thing a freakin thinggggg‼️he’s DAF… period

thank you Trudeau for calling out Trump, America support Canda. Very good speech!

Yeah I’m guessing if trump made that call this guy was doing something nefarious behind the scenes. His people hate him. He’s a baby dictator. He’s in no position to lecture anyone about governments hurting their people!

Calling Trump smart, flattering the geriatric child lol

I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO PROUD TO BE A CANADIAN!!! Thank God for our AMAZING LEADERS who are standing up TOGETHER for this beautiful and KIND country we call Canada ?? ??????????????

It's not the uSA it's Trump and his cronies. Putin is no more a murderous dictator, than GEnocide Joe or Trump. CNN is the mouthpiece for USA imperialism. CNN lies and is biased against Palestine, drooling support for the illegal occupation that calls itself Israel. Don't work with Trump, destroy Trump. LOL Trump is NOT a smart guy, he is a narcissist and liar, criminal and gas lighter. He is trying to run the USA like a business, cutting off citizens from healthcare and social security. Trump is a criminal and there is only one end for him. JAIL

Trudeau is so kind to call Trump a smart guy when he knows that Trump is just an idiotic tax fraud and draft dodger. As President, Trump has still not revealed his taxes. Such a fraud just like his pet Elon!!!

My country I have never been more proud of our leaders than I am today! ?? Civilized, clearly articulated intelligent speach like our fellow Brits, France, Germany ect! \n\n That IS what it looks and sounds like to be a civilized leader of a country! No name calling, gaslighting, intimating, aggressive lies! All truth! All facts! And all the Canadian way! ???????????? ect Unite!!

Looks like Trump FAILED another one of his campaign promises again. He said he wouldn't start any new wars. Well, he just did. It's called TRADE WARS with countries by way of tariffs. And now prices are gonna go even higher while the stock markets go down. Good job MAGAts, is America great again yet?

Please do not call Donald Trump and Elon Musk the government of the United States. They are the idiots of America. I am an American and I will stand with Canada and the rest of the world against Trump, Musk, and Russia. I wish Justin Trudeau was the POTUS! We don't have a POTUS, we have an orange grifter in chief. He is deranged, spoiled and stupid. Our largest trading partner and the orange clown fucks it up, wow!

From USA. What a good speech, TRUDEAU is eloquent, smart, diplomatic, and I'm pleased he called Trump Donald. THAT SPEAKS Volumes here. TRUMP is not my president. I'm sickened to what he is doing, harming Canada and Usa. Trump sickens me. He is not smart. He is not a leader. I'm with CANADA. AND UKRAINE!!

Bro actually called them the 51st state on the intro ???

Hey Maga morons! That’s how a nations leader speaks,acts and behaves and those are actual facts not the never ending lies that comes out of bloated Criminal mouth you call a leader.

Like I've said before or two other blogs, this man should not be up there addressing CNN or any other network or any population. Whether it be Canadian or American. He has no right to be there. He is not the prime minister of this country anymore. He has no right to be making policies or to be imposing tariffs or doing anything else of the sort. Furthermore, he is also politically, unsavvy and ignorant. He in his running the mouth speech this afternoon. Insulted Donald Trump again by calling him dumb. I'm telling you that will not go very well with Mr. Trump and I wouldn't be surprised to see additional tariff percentage increased on the 25% already in place. Justin Trudeau is not a prime minister. He is a thug, an absolute idiot, a moron and any other adjective that you can find to describe someone who is totally and completely incompetent and incapable of implementing policy or running a country.

Americans call your representatives and demand change or call for secession from the Union. Trump is an idiot hell bent on causing chaos, The States are no longer United and a symbol of truth, Justice, and liberty. \nSend a message by leaving the union.

So why battle with tarrif? If America want to increase tarrif why battle it out and just show the world that America is wrong doing it. Or maybe President Trump just want you replace because you keep calling him dumb. ?

This speech is unbelievable impressive!!!! Wish there would be more guys like Mr Trudeau, his words got me 100% and I hope something or somebody stops this crazyness and incompetence of this so called President of the US. It is really sad and insane what‘s going on between the US and their allies. Greetings and good vibes from Germany!

That is a true leader speaking! Clear, precise, well spoken, without name calling, belittling, and other idiotic, childish behavior.\nYou Canadians can be proud of your leader. A man of integrity and principles. He has everything the orange balloon with a mouth doesn't have!\nThe idiot Trump will have to eat his words and beg you for mercy.\nTime for Mexico to speak up too!

Trump also accuses China of fentanyl. The truth is, China produces a precursor or an ingredient of fentanyl and legally exports to pharmaceutical companies all over the world. Not like the drug dealers in the US call up China and say” hey China, hook me with some fentanyl, bro!”

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau call the president of usa Donald . haha

Why does he feel the need to stroke Trump's ego, calling him a smart man, while condemning his actions. He articulates all the harm and difficulties Trump's actions, and these tariffs will cause, but refuses to point to the source of this stupidity directly, and call him out for it.

Its always tuff with u in office Trudeau.. call a election now

I couldn't be more frustrated with Donald Trump I tried calling the White House and they've got the telephone lines blocked

Oooooo he called him Donald...

Well he was being very polite but our so-called president is not a smart guy, although he thinks he's the smartest ever. \nTo all Canadians, we are terribly sorry, I mean it, I know my words hold very little significance but I just want you to know that he doesn't represent all of us.

This happened because Trump makes stuff up and doesn’t understand anything, to incl the consequences of his nonsense. Trump believes he’s playing 4D chess, when really he’s just performing and trying to look like a legit POTUS, the same way he does all kinds of silly stuff to pretend he’s some kind of genius businessman.\n\nThe fact that he kisses Putin’s butt and talks about falling in love with that lunatic who runs North Korea while insulting every friendly nation who calls us a friend is disgusting.

TRUmp is simply charging the same tariff that they are charging America. It’s called fair trade and FairPlay to trump. He’s saying you charge me a dollar I charge you a dollar. Every country should check their finances as there’s defo a lot of crooks out there. Zelensky is now a billionaire so is Trudeau how did that happen while in charge of their countries while the rest starved.

All my respect goes to Trudeau, who remained apologetic to the citizens of both countries throughout his speech. SHAME ON CNN for calling it Anti-Americanism !!! Trump picked this fight and let's not forget that ! And for NOTHING. another embarrassing moment for legacy news media that just proves either how dumb or how corrupt most are.

we are calling it stupid, because it is bad for the economie. But perhaps that is the point. If you know in advance when the ecconomie will go down or up you can make a lot of money. So that gives Trump and his court of oligarchs a considerable amount of income.

He just called Donald Trump dumb. Can't wait to see what Trump does next?

PM Trudeau called trump smart....he reached WAY down for that one. These are NOT smart men moves. Kudos to Canada for NOT backing down.

It's seems a new pact Ribbentrop Molotov , but now it's called Trump Putin pact

Has everyone forgotten Justin resigned as Prime Minister and has refused to call an election. Justin just stop it, don’t keep Canada hostage. You have had 9 years of corruption and scandals. The Liberals are the problem and destroyed our economy not the US

This American is tired of Trump slathering Putin's meat whistle & constantly disgracing our country. Trump & his evil cabal has got to go. I call for his resignation. Let him pardon himself just get him out of power because he's unstable.

So proud of you speaking the truth\nI hope Canada , Canadian not upset with the people of our country so called America, we ,the people, American, real country loving Americans, love your country, love, peace, love working together, love safe society, love good education, love affordable healthcare, just like yours, love to see happiness and peaceful in the world. \n\nUnfortunately , we have been trusting the wrong leaders for past decades, more and more damage done to our own lives because of the lying, corrupt government, misguided policies, manipulation, incompetence, corruption, corruption, and more corruption.\nThe people whom we elect, are the ones that stealing from us .\n\nUnless the people wake up, we are misguided to no end.\nWe have no one to blame but ourselves.

You believe in working together until you force your Truckers to take shots like farm animals, then you shut down their banks, then you stole their bitcoin. Don't lecture us about working together. Your own people can't stand you, and neither can we. I think it's an honor that President Trump calls you Governor, because you are terrible at leading a country. We care about you as a human, and a person created in the image of God, but most Americans are very unhappy with you lack of leadership, and style of tyrannical incompetence. Canada would be much better off with America's constitution and wealth. If you really want to work with America, let the people decide. America loves Canada and we welcome you with open arms.❤

How I wish Justin Trudeau continue as the Canadian prime minister good man and good response to that idiot called Donald Trump.
