Trump loves dictatorships and has had their strategy explained to him personally by the three most successful ones (Putin, North Korea and China): \n1. Take over a party and make it compliant \n2. Get the media representatives with the highest reach on your side \n3. Start fights with your neighbors \n4. Drive your population into poverty \n5 Throw toilet paper into the crowds begging for help \n6. Receive their praises and you'll never have to be afraid of being re-elected again.

I pray to GOD people don’t vote for the Liberals again because of this speech.

Trump is 78 yrs old, has no possibility to run again and is adopting a scorched earth policy dictated by his massive ego. He doesn't care what the news is as long as he's the headline. He has zero interest in the lives of ordinary Americans, his only interest is his lining his pockets and those of his close circle of family and friends. The American public is allowing this to happen.

This is very scary. Again, what Trump is doing makes no sense - there is no economic or political sense to it. So what is he doing it for ?? To reduce our trade deficit? We have a huge deficit with Canada because we import so much oil from them, which our refiners require. On top of that we get Canadian oil for first cheap when compared to the global price mark for oil. This keeps US petroleum prices LOW! So okay if this is the issue, why not just find ways to improve the economics of U.S. oil production instead of smacking all Canadian imports with a 25% hammer ??? He has ulterior motives and it’s to weaken the American spirit and sell what he has on American to Russia. And our Congress isn’t doing anything !!!

America and Trump and Elon are done.\n\nThe EU with Canada and other allys are more suffisticated, technicolly further nd far more intelligent than Trump Elon and thet voters.\n\nCome on America.\n\nImpeach Trump.\n\nMake America Great Again.?

I'm Danish - we have a big movement in Denmark to boycot American goods. The US has failed in so many ways. They will learn - perhaps to late - what the price is. In the mean time I urge people around the world who supports Ukraine, Mexico, Canada and Europe - who supports the right to freedom - to buy goods from each other. Lets join together with Japan, Australia, South Korea etc - let's show the US that YES, they were important - yes they WERE the leaders of the free world - but they lost the right to that title the moment they selected Trump for president again. Let's show them what real bravery is and what real freedom is!

Donald Trump is truly a magician. He did the unthinkable: he made Trudeau somewhat popular again. ?

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau, for some clarity during these very troubling times. My hope is people in my country, the USA, will finally begin to listen carefully, and think about the ramifications of voting Trump into office again. Sadly, populist demagogues attract attention by suggesting easy answers to very complex problems. Or to put it more simply, by repeatedly lying.

If this speech doesn’t force Trump to think again, then Trump will be cementing his Dumb actions into history and Common knowledge. This was a powerful and Concise speech.

I am a Trinbagonian?? all the way in the Caribbean and I stand with Canada❤But guess what,the American people voted for that?Then again,Biden or Kamala Harris wasn't a better pick either?

Traitor trump needs to go as soon as possible. What a disgrace he is. He was an utter disgrace in his last term, and here he is again. Maga dummies need to get deported.

Trump and USA are 100% Correct. Make America Great Again.

Dementia J Trump is going to destroy the economy Again. What a disgrace!

Oh my God, my heart is absolutely broken in half. I am an American citizen (I am ashamed to even tell anybody that) my brother is a Canadian citizen, and I feel like Trump has put up a wall that will now make it impossible for me to ever see my brother again.\n\n* I believe that Trump is somehow spawn of Satan. He and all his henchmen!

If you want to talk about the American taxpayers money let's talk about Ukraine 500 billion of American taxpayer money that we lost and will never see again let's talk about that

I will never go to the US ever again!\nYour cookie cutter culture has no substance.\nYour “gated communities “ are prisons devised to protect the rich.\nYou live in constant fear and your prime focus is perceived threats to your freedom.\nWe here in Canada….not the 51st State, Don have bars on our windows.\nWe drink pure water , breath fresh clean air and we can sleep at night without hearing gunshots all night or the fear of bombs being dropped on us. \nWe are resilient people who can help ourselves in the wake of disasters and challenges.\nWe don’t need people to do our thinking for us.\nWe will overcome the folly of your ways.\nWe died for Americans and freedom in many Wars and we know what it is to make sacrifices!

Trump is doing what is doing because he knows he will not contest again for life.He is selfish.

Oh; the feminine is speaking again…

Donald is obviously a kremlin asset. During the past 3 years he never once condemned ruzzia for any of its war crimes in Ukraine. He constantly parrots kremlin propaganda, while criticizing US allies. Making ruzzia great again does not help US in any way.

This is a heartfelt plead and out of consern for our American freinds, please don't let this tryrant ruin you lives!\n\nAmerica is no longer the Leader of the Free World - Felon Trump First = Make America Gross Again!

I've been to the USA a couple times. I will not go there anytime soon, maybe never again. Greetings from Germany.

Sadly this can all be fixed, just rise up and impeach Trump again. Attacking your friends and allies is morally corrupt, but it’s not surprising when watching all the Trump administrations rhetoric on everything else they are tearing down and risking and costing our US friends on all fronts. As a Canadian, I will not be going back to the US until this President and this disgusting rhetoric is gone.

Watch the weasel try to squirm out of this one. Nope. Go Trump! Balance the budget. Pay down the debt, and make Americans wealthy and strong (by producing local) again!

Portuguese here: Canada and EU need to show the American people that they need to rise against this disgrace that's happening at the moment\nFascism never again!

Trump said you will not need to vote again during the election campaign, what has he got coming for America what underhanded devious act is in stall.\nYou voted in a convicted criminal and a pathological liar and a sexual predator, a criminal that supports convicted violent criminals that assaulted police

RIGGGHHTTT!!! Make that make sense!! Tell em again

I disagree with Trudeau. I dont think Trump is a smart guy! Or maybe the billionaire's wanna crash the stockmarket and buy cheap before removing all tariffs and seeing the market rise again.

When someone attacks the Capitol and becomes president again, you have to expect the worst. Support Canada

Listen Trump lied to Americans he said he don't know project 2025 fired our federal workers Americans are not to blame for Trump lies your issue is with him not the citizens once again he lied to us

Lol....I hope yall got some money put away....Make America Broke Again ?...this doesn't hurt the wealthy....open your eyes people

This is what usa put on the block when you that elected a stupid president again Donald dumb trump

Putting higher tariffs on Canada, China, and Mexico will not make America great again. This will cause higher prices in goods and services and may result in unemployment.

??Honestly I'm so glad that he made this public because knowing the orange man he will ALWAYS blame someone else for his incompetence, we've all seen it before time and time again ??

Did somebody say something? Who’s that guy again?

King Trump ?. Narcissistic idiot who thinks he makes America ?? great again ?. But America is already great .

I am gobsmacked with all the comments left on here from Americans standing with Canada... that's the way it should be however, how in the hell did that SOB get into office yet again if everyone is saying they did not vote for him. America had the opportunity to have someone sitting in The Whitehouse that would clearly better their country instead .......You have this.

I can’t wait till the U.S has a NORMAL PRESIDENT again. not a perfect one. Just a NORMAL one.

Trump is doing dumb stuff after Obama trump biden trump again financially ruin their own country this is stupid

Make America Great Again? We should rename to: Make America Alone Again.

CNN has tried for 9 years to take this man down, tried to sway the public to think he’s the worst person on earth. Highlighted every civil and criminal case brought against him, misleading headlines to get your viewers to bite the bait and still nothing has worked and he’s president again?. This is not hyperbole when I say CNN is the most pathetic medial outlet in human history ????

And I watched CNN again after 25 years.\n???

Gotta disagree w/ Mr. Trudeau on one point, when he says Trump is 'very smart'--NO. Otherwise, Trudeau's speech was spot-on, and I love and respect Canada even more now. Most of us Americans cannot be proud of our country; we are held captive by a wannabe dictator and his stooges who are self-serving, vindictive, and UNpatriotic! To gather some semblance of sanity, I am taking the family on a Canadian Rockies tour in late spring--am tempted to not return home again.

You say there's no need or reason for these tariffs but that is according to you. Donald Trump has made it very clear what he asks from the Canadian people. You are choosing to do something but not everything he's asking. He doesn't want to be unfair to anybody, but he also doesn't want to be treated unfairly as a country. So please listen to what he asks. He holds all the cards again. He can and will destroy your economy and you will become his and our 51st State. Thank you

And the money collected from Trump’s tariffs will go to the department of finance, which is under Musk’s control. If a light didn’t go on in your mind, read the first sentence over again.

Trump laughed at Biden but he is the same not OK old man now. He wanted to make America great again but raised inflation, lost neighbours, allies, buyers of military equipment and his own political profit. In one day America has become not the first country in the world but it has become known that EU helped Ukraine more and that all countries can live without US. ?

TRAMP will make and making america GREAT again.????????????????????????? USA next time wote for another uneducated douchebag to meke america even more greater.??????????? and by the way when tramp was shot, i doubt he got shot in the EAR. IT CLEARLY HE WAS SHOT IN THE HEAD. HE GOT BRAIN DAMAGE .????????

America must now feel that voting for Trump will not make America great again, only lonely. They will soon bitterly regret this selfish path. The free world can also defend itself in this senseless trade war. It's a shame for the decent Americans who will also be affected by this.

As an American I am once again infuriated! I wish we could get rid of this dictatorship in our country! He fires at random and without justification. Now he wants us to go through a Great Depression. It’s not Canada’s fault! I hope most Canadians know that most Americans love our neighbors and are mortified by the great pumpkin and his antics. I’m scared of being taken over by Russia

Stop the Lawless treasonous American dictator and the complicit GOP. We stand with Canada and Our Democratic Allies NOT PUTIN THE MURDERER! Stop the Lawless treasonous dictator and the complicit GOP. They are also working on methods to skew the midterms through more Voter Suppression ?. Write to your senators ask them to get creative. Ask them to implement a special election by the people with majority rule to oust the dictator! Ask them to shut down the government do anything to stop this coup. We cannot wait for the midterms. They will have once again manipulated them by then! Write your senators and Congressmen/Women, THEY MUST ACT NOW!!!

I’m honestly dumbfounded that this country once again unleashed the unmitigated stupidity and utter incompetence of that orange Buffoon loose on the world again. As Americans we should hang our heads low in shame.
