Thank God for Donald Trump. I really hope all you other countries get it figured out. All these mofuckrs need sent back home.

All I can say is, THANK YOU President Donald Trump for shutting down the borders, I don’t want these people in the USA, why are they coming here and leaving their SHIT hole country?

Donald, in his whole time as a 'leader' (which he clearly isn't) never ever was able to even close hold a speach like this. And he never will be. He is just not a smart man. This decision was a big big mistake. Thanks to Mr. Trudeau for standing up against this characterless BULLY. The Canadians must be so proud of you. I just hope Mexico ( and all the rest of us 'willing countrys') will do the same. I do feel sorry for all the american people who saw this coming and have to suffer now. I hope this all ends well. Sending blessings from Germany.

Thank you for standing up????Donald is nothing but a bully

Make America Alone Again on its way, thanks to Donald. Support to Canada from France.

DONALD ... THANK U !!!!!!! FOR NOT CALLING HIM PRESIDENT HE IS A CRIMINAL...FELON

I’m an American but I’m with you, thanks much for knocking some senses into Trumps empty head! I loved how you said “Donald”! You’re one leader with a heart!

Donald is not smart! Just opposite. Iam so happy that at least one leader speaks openly!!! ❤ thank you!

Don't back down. Donald will end sooner than Canada. \n\nI saw lots of police recently on the roads when I was travelling. Trudeau, thanks for trying, apparently that wasn't the reason. Something else bothers Donald and it's not even a suit.

I'm canadian, Just cancel 3 weeks in Walt Disney World this summer. 20 000 CAD$. KEEP IT IN MY COUNTRY. To Donald: NOW CANADIAN PEOPLE ARE PATRIOTIC LIKE NEVER BEFORE. THANKS TO YOU.

Many thanks to Trudeau. I just love it, World Democracy Leaders like Trudeau, Macron, Keir Starmer and many more EU leaders will come to the aid of Americans to show just how Corrupt and Deranged Trump is and, he can't threaten or fire them. Trump's actions WILL trigger a unification of EU Countries with Canada and any other country that Trump threatens. Tesla EVs won't be purchased, EU and Canadian Satellites won't be launched by US companies, and you'll see EU and Canadian Defense company R&D funding and sales take-off as new Trade agreements are made between these other countries that Severely hurt the US Economy in numerous ways which, just maybe, some since into the total Nut-Job, Scum-Bag, multi-Felon and Rapist named Donald.

Thank you, Donald, for making our Dear Leader and accomplished drama teacher adopt a speech which, however still hysterically stupid, has been accepted by many as at least coherent.

PM Trudeau, You are my hero. Brilliant speech and calling Donald out for his idiocy and the HARM he is doing to the US citizens. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Proud of my Prime Minister. Handling the situation like a champ. Thank you Americans for supporting Canada, we support you as well and I sincerely hope that we will be able to solve this. Donald is such a shame for the whole world… unreal.

wow... that's ballsy and rhymed. See... this is a leader i can stand with. Thank you for this. But honestly, this feels like a bad breakup.\n\nI don't know what the hell Donald is doing. Current US Administration is alienating its friends and allies. I wonder what the end goal is.

Trump is trying to isolate us from our allies and ultimately we will get hurt in our wallet , thanks Donald trump !!

Thank you for realzing that Donald and his fellow crooks are who are creating this, not the majority of the American people.

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for being reasonable, rational and calm. Trump puts billionaires first not the 99% of us. We do not want to harm our Canadian friends and we will work hard to impeach Donald.

PM Trudeau, thank you for your honesty and respect for Americans and your own Canadians. Donald does not represent America’s values. I stand with Canada ??.

Trudeau! Nobody likes you. You’re done. We want to vomit when you speak. You are a disgrace to this Country. You’ve ran our country into the gutter, killing hundreds of thousands of Canadian citizens with your reckless policies and corrupt agenda’s. Stop playing the victim you wounded narcissist. Canada deserves these tariffs. This is all on you. I pray daily that this country will be saved. The light keeps getting brighter as we inch closer to that election! Thank god for Pierre Poilievre!! And we love you Donald Trump!

Donald Trump, not American people, me, is a criminal and belongs in prison. Thank you for tackling this felon!

Dear Prime Minister Trudeau, Thank you for speaking to the American public so kindly & articulately! Please let some of our states become provinces or territories of Canada. Please let us know the forms to fill out.... Hawaii must look pretty great to you all...?! If Donald can rename the Gulf of Mexico, surely we can adjust some border lines....?

Figured you'd be on CNN we don't need anything from Canada you need us thank you Donald Trump now maybe our country will start making everything we need like it used to be

Another win for Putin thanks to his lapdog, Donald.

Thank you very much Donald Trump is a dictator he's with Putting He is not my president my God is my president Get ready USA you're in for a big one

Thanks so much for your advice Teacher Mr. Trudeau. When we Americans need some more lecturing about what you think is best for us, we'll be sure to ask. Obviously, you know what is expected of you regarding the border but haven't done it to the satisfaction of USA leadership. In the interim, do your best imitation of a liberal and cry us a river. And Justin, just so you now, our president's name is President Trump for you, not 'Donald'.

Prime Minister Trudeau, please be aware that Americans the majority of the Americans today do not stand with this…. I truly believe most Americans have woke up they had the FAFO and do not condone him aligning himself with Putin. You’ve been more respectful by even calling him Donald because I call him either this or 45. Thank you for being true our true allies to America.

Though you did wear a suit, but you didn't say 'thank you'. And you talked too much. You are unrespectful to Donald ??

Perhaps what Donald wants is just a word of Thanks???

You have to respect and appreciate donald. Say thank you Justin

Wonderful to hear Canada's response to the bully Trump. President Trudeau response to global issues is measured, articulate and informed compared to the ignorant, bombastic self serving purposes of Donald Duck (AKA Donald Trump/ USA president) rants!!.\n Stand strong Canada, you have leverage (higher exports of power energies) to the US with your natural resources. In Ireland we recognize a huge differential between the morals of the USA versus Canada ( but some times get confused with the accents). I am with you Canada. Every best wish with your endeavors and thank you for supporting the EU.

Thank fuck Donald Trump cannot communicate as effectively as Justin T. If he could, he would be way more of a monster than he already is. Thank fuck indeed.

Oh Canada!!\n Thanks CNN!!\nNext up!!\n Failing of USA , real-time prime time!\n At the hands of Donald..\nI am happy to see how American is going hurt it’s what you voted for, Donald.\n\nDonald is your scourge!

I am a conservative and I admit that Donald Trump's tariffs will have a negative impact on Americans. If you think businesses are going to pay for the increased cost of importing and are not going to scale back their labor forces are raise prices you don't have an understanding of business and finance. The whole purpose of going into business is to maximize profit therefore they are going to offset the costs by raising prices on goods for Americans and vice versa. This is a trade war. Thanks.

When Trudeau spoke to Donald, his vocab suddenly shrank to 135 words in total, including such short classics as big, strong, smart and guy. Clearly, he was trying not to overwhelm his intended interlocutor ?I won’t hold my breath for Donald to say thank you.

PM Trudeau: A special thank you for telling the truth. I am so saddened to find out what's happening to your and our countries. I am humiliated DONALD is such an egotistical idiotic unleader. So sorry for us all.

Donald J. Trump is the best President EVER! I love President Trump. Thanks God for Trump. As for Ukraine, that shouldn't even have been a priority for America. Ukraine should have nurtured better relations with all its neighbors, and especially with Russia, and not try to drag the world into a needless WW3. Btw, why is Trudeau still in offoce? His dad was a proud communist. Just like his dad, Trudeau has communistic tendencies.

As eloquent and dignified Mr. Trudeau is here, and how rational his response is, it's wasted breath. You can't reason with an entitled child. We tried to reason with the children that were voting for him and it fell on deaf ears. He's no different. They know it all, all while knowing absolutely nothing. There's no changing their minds. I hope with all of my being that this hits those who support him the hardest and brings them significant financial pain. Elections have consequences and their vote needs consequences too. \n\nIn my 56 years, I've never been embarrassed to be an American. Thanks Donald, I now am. You did that.

So proud of our PRIME MINISTER Trudeau. Thank you for calling him donald and telling it like it is! I have NEVER referred to donald as president and NEVER WILL. He is no president. He is not worthy of such a title, never will be. America belongs to the enemy now, allies no more.

President Trump and you need to work it all out. As far as blanket tariffs go, I do agree that your goods and services, including tariffs should be mutually broken down to create benefits for all. Part of my lineage is from Quebec, and here USA. We all need to help each other. Laser focus to arrest and put in prison all drug terrorists should be everyone's focus. The wars elsewhere are sidetracking the two of you from standing side by side with one another, as you mention you usually do. Two friends, two parallel united goals, yet I do agree, again, that you said an enemy would rather divide you two than to see you both Triumph over evil! So PM Trudeau, get on the phone with President Donald, and the two of you tackle it out, include a .PPT write-up with solutions that both of you know is good overall, both instant, immediate and longer term. May God's Holy Hands be upon you and surround you, with the love of my Savior, Christ Jesus! Thank you! I love you all.

Thanks for your love, Canadian immigrant here??????I hope everyone stands up to Donald and his cronies. Bad men wins when good men stays quiet.??????

“DONALD!” Thank you Justin!??

Donald Trump is a Russian Asset!! Thanks MAGAts, I am embarrassed to be an american.

Is this how Donald thanks Canada especially for all the help Canadians gave to fight the fires in California? Not to mention the cost of said assistance?

Donald Trump is an idiot. The only reason he is pissed at Canada is that both his daughter and his wife wanted to sleep with our PM. Thankfully he turned them both down. The US is turning into a pathetic isolationist country. Good luck to you as you align with Russia. Idiots!

Dear Donald. This is how you lead a country. Thank you for being a true leader Mr Trudeau.

I am American and I stand with Donald Trump. Canada needs to shut their borders down with the fentanyl. It's killing all our people they buy. What they want and they charge us a fortune. They don't do nothing for America. Canada, does everyone should do for America? As Americans stand up for the USA thank you.

It makes perfect sense because Donald Trump is a Nazi and a Nazi supporter that will turn the US into an axis power. As if our reputation wasn't bad enough now America will be the most hated country in the world and it's all thanks to Republicans and Maga Republicans who should now ALL consider themselves traitors to the flag. If you support Donald Trump you are a coward, a xenophobic sycophant, a bigot, a white supremacist, and as i stated earlier, a traitor. Treason is punished by death in some lands. The American people won't allow this dictator for long. Even if it causes a Civil War within our own country. Trump will not last a full 4 years in the Nazi House. The people will end up getting tired of it, and then Maga will know what it's like to fear for their lives. Its going to unfold terribly for our country and I hope all of our allies will forgive us after the Trump Nazi Regime is removed.

Mr PM, thank you for calling him Donald. He does not deserve the respect or dignity of the title of President. I think Donald is much more appropriate. Thank you for sticking up for us! Respect. I am proud you are our PM and proud to be a Canadian.

General Clark, thank you for talking about what republicans choose to ignore, putin IS playing Donald. So sad.
