U.S. here....first, I and most Americans stand with Canada and Ukraine. Second, yes tRUMP made a dumb mistake. But everyone must realize that he really isn't very smart. His own cabinet members from his first term have said so. He doesn't understand things and he doesn't read. I feel pretty sure that his daddy paid for him to get into business school and paid for his degree, just as he paid a doctor to say he had bone spurs. He just isn't very bright. I think his business failings show the same thing. Whatever Canada and Mexico feel they have to do to stand up to this dictator wanna-be, so be it. I hope the MAGAt supporters here get a hard wake up call....I can't have sympathy for them.

Isn't this guy a dictator?

I am Canadian and conservative. It is sad to see that the Western world can no longer see the US as a reliable and trustworthy ally. I hurt just writing this. I hope conservative Americans will wake up and see that they were mislead and that Trump is a dictator in the making.

“Lying murderous dictator.” Damn.

This black faced wearing, gender confused, WEF @ss kissing, treasonous criminal dictator, is a lying clown.\nHis delusional narcissistic condescending attitude makes me vomit every time I see or hear him. He is destroying Canada & our identity, He is a morally corrupt puppet.

Do what you got to do, Mister Trudeau, sir! We know that our orange President and his masters, Puitin and Musk, are Dictators and Tyrants. Our American Government is now corrupt. We, the people, stand with Canada! Do what ya gotta do, sir.

Dear Trudeau, the problem is not Canada, the problem is you, you are too liberal, you are a dictator, you was arresting Christians,at the time of covid, you are taking children away from their parents just because they teach their children that homosexuality is a sin.\nYou suppressed peaceful protest and much much more,you are no different then communist,you must go

You are the dictator you marxist bastard.

No is not the Fantenol is that the convict wants to distablelize the country and wants them to bend to take over like a want to be dictator he is!!! What a disgrace that America is at war with our friends and neighbors!!! What a pice of shit of a felon and all his cronies!!!

CNN should do their research on this clown before they try to make him look like a hero. But then again what do expect a leftist news network supporting a leftist dictator.

Trump is nothing but a bully, there's only one way to deal with a bully. The more countries that stand against him, the sooner Americans will realize their mistake and take their country back from this wannabe dictator who is nothing but a fraud. Mexico stands as Canada stands, against bullies.

Wow Here’s accusing Putin of being a liar and a dictator well well well true day accusing him of exactly what you are everything that comes from Trudeau‘s mouth is lies and collusion and he’s a dictator to his own people only thing you can say he’s not is a bully because he’s a weak fairy where is Putin has a black belt in judo

We're all so disgusted and saddened about all of this. You're so right about everything that you're saying about trump; Putin has his puppet in this country and he's making the most of it, by helping trump to become dictator here. Please Canada, do what you have to do, we don't want this either; we're stuck with trump until our congress grows a spine and kicks this ugly, vindictive man out of office! Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, you are what is needed in this crisis! I'm glad to be a Canadian, I just wish I was living there, not here. What a total embarrassment to us all that did not vote for trump. (from Sandi Paquet)

When are we going to kick out this fascist dictator ?!?! We all know musk arranged this win for him and this is not what we want !! I stand with Canada and Ukraine and everything that America once stood for and the principals we were founded on ! Fck Trump Fck Musk Fck Vance Fck Thiel Fck Putin ! Where is my America ??? What happened to our integrity ?!?!

It's not us!!! It's wannabe DICTATOR Trump!!!!???

Thank you Justin Trudeau! If we don't cave in to dictators.

Now that’s how a true leader, a real politician, talks and acts. If that wacko of a despot in the White House carries on, Putin will soon be his only ally … But problem is, dictators don’t really do the ally thing for real.

This is what happens when Canada has a spinless dictator leader like trudeau. If we Canadians had a real leader we wouldn't be pushed around.

Americans, let's rise up against dictator TRUMP! He is dangerous, and wants to destroy our country! He is not working for the American people, he is working for Russia!!!

Well done Justin. Canada stands up to bullies and dictators.

All this it's your fault \nYou're the one \nTalk to dictator?\nLook back 2022\nSince you government 2016\n29%difference usa $cad \nYou're the Disgrace of this great Country \nGo home \nTalking of been With Russia or \nAmerica?\n5000 nuclear weapons Usa\n5000Russia\nCanada's has bottle Caps \nStop sending money to a \nClown that doesn't belong to \nNATO OR EU\nCanadians first

I’m so sorry you have to deal with an ass hat dictator we, the American people, are living with in the US. This is not my president. It’s hideous!!!!

Imagine robbing the United States for years with unfair tariffs and then crying about making it fair by gaslighting Americans and Canadians by describing Trump's attempt at negotiating a peace deal and saving lives as appeasing a murderous dictator. Trudeau is a morally corrupt and cowardly piece of sht.

Trudeau calls Putin a dictator, yet stomped out the trucker protest with violence and debanking...think about that, then think about that some more.

As good as it is for Trudeau to stand his ground, he really needs to tread carefully with Trump, who is a petulant child, a horrible, classless, narcissistic dictator who loves nothing more than fighting and revenge. Horrible, horrible person.

Trump is a horrible, horrible human. I am devastated over what he is doing. I've never once given Trump my vote and I'm not a lefty liberal. I knew if he was voted in he was going to cause world wide chaos. He has shown his character over and over and over...yet a large portion of American's just ignored it. This election wasn't about republicans or democrats or independents. This election was about humanity and global security. American's ignored the writing on the wall for their own singular wants/opinions. They stand with their Trump flags but only a few of them can actually explain any accurate information about his policy or legal issues and they condone his behavior. The majority of Trumpers claim to be 'Christians'. Christians voting for a man who is a bully, abuser, liar, predator, monger of power, impedes freedom of press and speech and aligns himself with a dictator. He pardoned violent offenders and called them patriotic, spouts false information, obstructs investigations, has numerous felony charges against him and has now made enemies with our allies. Shall I go on? That's not Christian. Even if you aren't Christian...that's not what America stands for. All for what...eggs? Guns? Cheaper groceries? Or because your need for hating a small group of people out weighs global peace. Or is it because you are so short sighted that you can't even see the valuable contribution that non American born people provide this country. Yes, Biden fell asleep at the wheel. Yet many of you still believed the better choice was a psychopath. This election was important. We failed as a country by putting this man in office. No matter what party you align with, we failed. Yes, I want cheaper eggs. Yes, I really need cheaper groceries. But not over the safety of the globe. Not over the lives of the people and children being killed in an unprovoked war. Not over the safety of Europe. Not over ripping off our closest and favorite country that borders us. Not over losing our democracy and our allies. I stand with Ukraine, Canada, Mexico and Europe and the Gulf of Mexico. You should ask yourself what you really stand for.

Blame Canada! Blame Canada! You've abused the US for the LAST TIME! LOL. I can agree with one thing he said. Putin is a lying murderous dictator.

Open Parliament ? JT calling Putin a dictator ?

I’m American and I love Canada, he is not our president, he is a terrorist and a dictator. I’m so sorry Canada. The American people are under attack and our allies are at risk too. I pray for the freedom of all people and I’m sorry.

From an American citizen, GIVE TRUMP HELL CANADA!!! Please make new trade partners and new alliances. Cut the US out and off completely. This is going to hurt Americans very badly, as you say. Trump is sick. He is a want to be dictator. He wants to be like Putin, and like Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, and Erdogan! This may very well be the end of American as world leader... This may be our very end.

I like how he dumbed it down for Dictator Don.

Save us from the dictator wannabe ?. We don’t want the orange buffoon felon ?

Paula Newton, how dare you use the phrase anti-americanism! This is one of the most emotionally contained and dignified responses do the bullying president of the United States that I've heard so far. Trudeau has every right to be as pointed as he wants. I hate what Trump is doing and I live here! Trump doesn't speak for me. I have friends in Canada. Canadians are absolutely welcomed to help us do something to rein in the power of the dictator in training, Trump.

I'm an American. I support and Stand with Canada not this Dictator we have!

Amazing that this dictator is speaking. Get rid of this ego narcissist, he thinks he is going to win , he is a idiot

Trudeau is a woke, no-good version of a modern dictator! Trump is a real leader! CNN keeps lying...

Donald Trump is a traitor! Remember when they had that meeting, Donald Trump, Putin, and North Korean dictator they didn’t invite Zelensky, after this meeting that’s when Donald Trump, was putting pressure on Zelensky to sign the mineral contract that’s why Donald Trump was acting the way he was acting, because Putin was mad at him. You wanna know why, one of his top KGB generals retired. He said that Putin help Donald Trump win the presidency in 2016. He said that Donald Trump owe them all this was in the same time all this happened. That’s why Donald Trump has got pressure on his ass. Putin is putting pressure on Donald Trump. Donald Trump is the People’s enemy and that’s what I see. I’ve been following this liar since the apprentice, he is a liar and the father of the lie”

I Chose to stand with Canada…My Apologies to all Canadians for the conduct of the Dictator Wannabe in our country, I for one did not and would never vote to put him in office.. Stay strong Canada for the Majority of the United States stands with you! In Solidarity to your cause. God Bless you all.

I hate being an American right now. These next four years cannot pass quickly enough. \n\nMany of us do NOT stand with Dictator Trump. Not at all.

Prime Minister Trudeau is boldly hitting the nails on the head, and I admire his boldness and honesty as I've always admired Canada and its peoples. Trump is in the back pocket of the Russian dictator. His actions prove it to my satisfaction. Canada has been a staunch friend of the US, a real partner not just for economic benefits for both countries but for a democratic way of life. Canada is a strong democracy whose people are known for their open hearts and minds. I pray that this idiotic trade war started by a man who is subservient to Putin will come to an end. I say to Canadians, let us stick to our common values of democracy, free expression, peaceful borders, and our commitment to the greatest good of the many rather than the greatest good of the few and the Russian dictator.

The stupidity of trump is incompetent for him to take sides with Russia over our allies will weaken our country and maybe allow our real enemies to invade our country because of his actions getting rid of people who have experience and knowledge in the job they been doing for years all this action just to be able to get close with Putin to be a dictator also in a country that has been free for over 250 years I want to see if people that support him and the republican will agree with him over the wishes of the American people.

Trump has some twisted affinity for Putin and Dictators. When Trump does not get his way, he tantrums and acts out…a very cardinal trait of Trumps personality. There is no logic—he goes on and on about all the lives and dying, then he supports Putin who has 1200 to 1500 Russian youth getting killed daily. \nSLAVA UKRAINI ????

The tariffs make sense when you realize that trump's real goal is to destroy democracy everywhere so he can be a dictator like Putin.

Dear Canadians, now that the US is part of Russia, you need to come closer to us in Europe against dictators.

Trump the dictator.

Dictator ??????

It never was about the border. He wats to destroy democracy. He loves and sides with Dictators ?

Mr Prime minister, you call trump a smart guy. NO, he is an idiot, he is a criminal, a rapist, a person that stole state secrets, he possibly gave some of those secrets to dictator putin.\nA totally stupid idiot, he is in musk and putins pockets.

Love from Sweden. \nLet dictator Trump destroy his country and the relationship with alias to the US.

I live in canada, Trudeau is the most hated prime minister in history. \nCNN can pander all they want to this dictator, but know this, Trudeau is a wef puppet and doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself. \n\nThis joke of a speech is just a photo op and acting tough because an election is coming.
