As an American, Canada I’m so sorry. To the rest of the world please please hear me. Trump supporters are the minority here, most of us are actively fighting against this. We want peace but in no way shape or form should any government fold to this man. Canada, do what you need to do. Please don’t fold either. Make sure this country feels every second of it.

An intelligent and presidential speech…. This is the sort of attitude and vision we need from our world leaders. Gives one a little more faith in politics…\n\nShame on Trump and his administration..

The whole world must admit that the old people have no place in politics. This gerontocracy is already tired. Putin and Trump for two are 150 years old. And what do these idiots do? chaos, absurdity, destruction.

This is the year for the Simpson prediction. Trump has enemies, all over the world now ?

Trump is clearly a Russian asset. This is not a conspiracy, just look at the overwhelming evidence. Putin is directing him to re-create the world order in his vision.

What a big difference between the speaches of DJT , Trump is trying to get Americans to believe that he is the savior of the USA. Justin Trueau is an intelligent and serious leader of Canada - compliment! \nHe stumbles along with a very limited vocabulary in his speeches, speeches in which any normal person can hear how little intelligence and substance there is behind these words. \nNow he is blackmailing the victim of the Russian war instead of the perpetrator, just as he is sacrificing everything the free world stands for for his confused fantasies. \nHe is now even demanding a third term in office, although in the first few days he has already brought more harm to the people than any president before him. \nThis is the direct path to a dictatorship in the Putin model.

Trump has managed to pull off the greatest con job in the world by getting into the White House...twice.

Great speech Prime Minister! Clear, concise and truthful! Someone needed to tell the world the truth. All Trump doles out is lies, lies and more lies!

Mr. Trump is a russian puppet and kgb agent. He is hired to do what he is doing right now. So, he does understand everything. He is there, in his chair to bring American down and to wreak a havoc to the entire democratic world. When you admit that to yourself all his actions are easily explained.

Trump is going to give the USA to Russia and he's going to go there too and the world's going to be fucked!

From Texas to you ❤️❤️ we do not stand behind Trump. A lot of us did not vote or care for Trump. Gosh I just got my passport, we were planning to visit Canada ❤️❤️ and I don’t blame you for hating us. ?Stand strong Canada most Americans stand with you. I truly believe Trump is doing all this to strengthen his greediest he doing this to line his money pockets with middle Americans Musk will help him become one of the richest men in the world and he will get there on the backs of middle class hard working Americans. He isn’t trying to help Americans he is helping himself and all his rich buddy’s I refer to them all as roaches.

Canadian Prime Minister doesn't bullshit us he speaks the truth \nOf course Trump is buddy with Puntin... Will put the USA as enemy of the world ?. Trump is incapable of speaking the truth.... It's a dangerous man for the survival of the USA

Could Canada Win a Trade War?\n Trump has waged Economic War on Canada in order to bring us to our knees so that we will eventually capitulate to become the 51st state.\n\n Had he come in a nice way, as a friend verses a foe, he would have had a lot more interest, especially from Alberta. \n\n Now that we are here, the question has to be asked, can we actually win a trade war that has probably been extensively war-gamed by the U.S.?\n\n Our politicians want us to go toe to toe with a 900 lb gorilla. The U.S. economy is at least 10 times our size and are less dependent on our trade than we are. We may give them a black eye but they could rip our arms and legs off. \n\n Retaliatory tariffs play into their hands. It’s the perfect excuse to increase the tax to 50 or 100%. So will we do the same? This would devastate us, achieving their goals.\n\n Canadians are already fighting back without the government making things worse. People are boycotting U.S. goods en masse and cancelling travel plans, etc. and this is already having a strong effect.\n\n Some say turn off the electricity and oil, but who will pay price? It will be the businesses and employees, not the politicians who are now trying to act tough. If we want this to turn into a real kinetic war, then turning off the taps may do it. \n\n We have seen countless times where politicians tell us what we want to hear, making us think they are heading is a certain direction, only to find they do the exact opposite. This proves you can not believe what career politicians say and have to go by what they do, or don’t do, instead. Yet now, they confidently declare that Canada will never become the 51st state. This should raise eyebrows. \n\n Almost all of the MPs and Premiers are unanimous in entering into a trade war we can not win. After tariffs go ballistic, our dollar drops to .35 cents, and we get utterly crushed, I can see them say, “in order to save what’s left of our economy and society we must reluctantly join the U.S. or face certain destruction”. \n\n Not only would the decades old goal of a North American Union be accomplished, but we would take a large step towards the video statement that the World Economic Forum - WEF posted on their website. “By 2030, you will own nothing and be happy”. \n\n The WEF is working with the UN to achieve their Agenda 2030 goals and is what Pierre Poilievre and the “Conservatives” signed Canada onto Sept. 27, 2015. This is what Trudeau has been implementing. Mark Carnie, Pierre, and Jagmeet Singh would finish off the job. Read the redistribution of wealth goal #10. Are you feeling poorer yet? Remember, one has to dig deeper to see through the document’s ultimate double speak written for public consumption. \n\n There is much more going on than meets the eye. Our best defence is to not play into their hands. A much better plan needs to be developed by minds who see the big picture for creative solutions, and it does not seem to be those in office now

Your right I did not vote for Trump I did not like his firstTerm and he is much worse now I am a Independent voter the people they have running are all full of shit The USA IS GOING UNDER and unless we stand together to Impeach the whole white house we are in trouble I am going to a few of those rallies and I am hoping some how we can Impeach all Republicans and get them the hell out of the USA once and for all God Bless we the people in America we don't stick together you can count on World War lll and I Blame it totally on Trump and the brain washed Republicans mark my words your going to regret it I think alot of you are already Will Good Luck To All

But hold on a minute, Donald Trump is pointing the finger at president Zelenskiy of Ukraine saying that he would cause World War three let everyone just take a step back and look at the mess that Donald Trump is causing in the US is behaving like a mafia boss employing and bringing in all the criminals of the millionaire world from the bottom of the barrel They want to play with Canada. They want to try and take over the Panama Canal, and take Greenland doesn’t this not sound like something that Putin is carrying out right now how do you rain in in this modern day? a president, of the free world who is psychotic deranged and suicidal.

When you ALREADY have tariffs in place against the US you cannot claim Trump is starting a trade war. You started it. Now we have a POTUS with the sand to stand up for us not the world. Republicans understand that things will get tough. Liberals are already snow flakes that were in a melt down from the day Trump took office. We voted them out. I don't think Canadians are going to tolerate much for long unless you open the Treasury and give them money thereby bankrupting them. Drop your tariffs and Trump will drop yours. Is a win win.

God bless Canada. Dont let these apes from USA win. The world stays together against this cleptocrat Trump

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!

The Marxist dictator, Justin Black-face Trudeau is threatened by Trump and panicking because the people of Canada see right through his lies and would rather have a country govern the way President Trump does it and give the power back to the people instead of having it run by the world, economic forum

Again get the world out of this nightmare and Arrest these 3 Idiots in the white house! Trump Vance and Musk... you have no much time left before things are going really bad!! stop them take the power away! or you will witness the end of USA and rise of chaos and terror! Trump and his gang are a cancer for democracy! stop them before they destroy you! or is it too late already?

Let’s face it Trump is a megalomaniac.. he wants to be part of a triumpherate of authoritarian dictators who carve up the world into 3 power regions…. He has conned billionaires into backing him, because they are by and large, interested in the same things he is, money and power. The freedom loving world needs to unite and depose Trump immediately!

Why Canada, Mexico, or any other country in the world doesn’t have the problem of drugs except United States of America. Why is that.? Think about it, we are the consumer and want to Party Up like there is no tomorrow. So Donald trump get your S.H.I.# in gear and clean up your mess first before you point fingers.

You, as Americans, have to remove Trump and his cronies from office. He is destroying your country. He is CRAZY! He is a threat to world security.

Listen all over the world react to Donald Trump. Looking at in the old testement how God punish His people. United States now loosing the free world leader now. It's a shame. I'm not sure who is the dictator now. A free world leader not speaking like a 6 years old kit. America is a christian country, American should speak or talking like a christian, not talk like evil.

As sorry as I am for all Americans who didn't vote for Trump, I hope that America will suffer from his democratic decisions and learn from it's mistakes. Otherwise, the democratic world order could collapse.

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. ?

At this juncture the whole world have seen how ignorant American voters are by allowing this low profile exconvict and a draft dodger to dictate for a country like America , TRUMP himself is illitrate forget about the English language the man knows nothing when it comes to international politics and how American foreign policies work , a man with zero experience public office how can he rule but guess what American people deserve everything thats been happening to them , they better stfu and deal with it

Those tariffs are such a stupid thing to do... for every country they are doing this, USA is basically making the chinese products so much more appealing for them. It would be MUCH cheaper to exchange those products for chinese ones instead of paying the tariffs. Congrats Trump, you are so afraid of China that you are actually EXPANDING its influence on the world. \nChina has actually the chance of doing something really funny now: REDUCING tariffs for those affected by Trumps actions. Just imagine...

Trumps screwing the world up quicker than I had expected…

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!”

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

Trump wants the World to collapse so his billionaires and america can buy up the stock market and dominate the World. It’s not trade blocks, it’s Dictator blocks. If that doesn’t work he’ll invade Canada and Mexico most likely and just take it. At this point, I hope America implodes. Either way it’s a mass suicide. Trump isn’t a smart man, he’s an evil man. And people who persist in making excuses for this creature are just traitors, the lowest of the low, stupid, greedy war mongers.

DONALD TRUMP IS KISSING PUTIN SO MUCH HE'S DESTROYING EVERYTHING...BRAVO KOOL-AID ORANGE MORON THE WORLD SEE YOU AS A ENEMIE TO USA....

Trudeau has had many accusations thrown at him for many yrs and none of them positive. That said, I for one salute the first world leader to stand his ground, speak the truth and not pander to Trumps bullying strategy. I have not witnessed any other world leader speak in this manner. I’ve witnessed many leaders pandering to an ego that is unbelievably narcissistic and quite simply inexplainable to me. \n\nMr Trump, this is not a reality tv show this is reality! The slogan he created ‘Make America Great Again’ is quickly becoming ‘Making America Alone’.

This is how a president should address the world. Trump is an ignorant puppet ot the Kremlin. The U.S. Is no longer the leader of the world and it is isolating itself and sleeping with tyrants and terrorist.

Woo hoo JT! Proud of you. The world is proud of you. Trump has now made life difficult for both sides of the border. Americans and Canadians do not want this for each other. Trump has never lived in the real world, he doesn’t care about families. He’s an old @sshole who only thinks in zero sum games, and that’s not negotiation folks!

Now an mark my words!trump an putin gonna announce a big summit,an the talks they will announce a joint military cooperation of some sort,an there goes the world as we know it!!!

America we Canadians are upset with Trump and his criminal group running your country into the ground. We only have did our best for decades to be a rock for you…We don’t want this unfortunate situation but we will not bend the knee to Trump! If you really have that patriotism you have pounded your chests for decades as the best democracy in the world then show it! Right now we see a lot of talk and no action towards a criminal dictator Russian sympathizer

Trump is a moron. I'm sorry world. We didn't all vote for this jackass

I agree with absolutely everything Trudeau has said in his speech except for calling Trump a smart man. Trump is definitely not smart, quite the opposite. I understand that Trudeau needs to have his ego stroked, but lying to the world about Trump‘s intelligence is pointless. Those Americans, who ARE smart must remove Trump and the Republicans from office ASAP

Trump’s intention is to raid the American economy for his own personal financial interests. Regardless of the fallout on the American people or the world.

trudeau is the most corrupted PM in Canadian History. He is solely responsible for destroying Canada. A Marxist dictator. President Trump is the greatest leader in the free world. Unmatched

We do not want Russia as an ally Trump. Trump is the dumbmest President in the world. He is trying to destroy the U.S. and you'll letting him do it.

Donald Trump is managing the [very rapid] decline of the post-war US empire. He understands that he needs to let go of the levers that made the United States a de-facto empire after the end of World War II. Those levers of power will - WILL - be taken away from the United States, whether we like it or not, and regardless of our willingness to give them up. President Trump understands this. He is attempting to pilot the United States toward a rough (but survivable) landing and to prevent a cataclysmic crash after the loss of those levers of power. He understands more than he is given credit for.

Amazing, a World leader that stands up to the thug known as Trump, if only America politicians showed such leadership America would not be in the mess they are in now, Trump will be know as Passion Fingers, because everything he touches he FU#KS

Please someone put Trump out of this world. He is a gutless criminal traitor.

Trump ?????? go ahead and Crush the world with your mental illness

Trump Attitude is ? world that needs America and America needs no one but its self and thinking only of its self. think he's in for rude-awaking. He's playing into china & Russians hands

Good luck Canada, It feels like Trump is trying to unite the world against him

Man, we really fucked up voting trump in. We really really messed up. Please world humble our country. Put trump in his place. Please we need the help. Our country is brainwashed.
