Trudeau - Trump is a traitor to the United States of America. He's under PUTIN'S thumb. Trump is PUTIN'S puppet. Real Americans will never bow down to RUSSIA. \n\nWe can't count on Trump for Nothing!! He's letting a South African Billionaire wreak havoc on American people and lives!!!\n\nThis is TOTAL BULLSHIT!!

What happened to United States government being by the people, for the people? PM Trudeau's speech is in plain real language, unlike the dumbed-down unintelligible words coming from our administration here in The US. Thank you, PM Trudeau for speaking so reasonably and maturely about this unpleasant trade development??

TRUDEAU a real President not a Clown like Trump. USA President is Putin.

So how close are we to real life Fallout?

The rational American people are with you. The people who understand how real government works. Not made up lies that get repeated over and over again in hopes that people will fall for it. Hard to believe that half the American people actually fell for the scam that has befallen America. Pray for us.

Thats trump not real americans

A real statesman's statement! Chapeau!

WE ARE SICKENED AND DISGUSTED ? BY THIS TOO\nPM TRUEDEAU\n\nYOU AND ZELENSKYY ARE REAL LEADERS\nFOR THE GOOD OF THE WORLD ALLIES AND PEOPLE \n\nDEVASTATED WE HAVE DRUMPF RAPISTS CRIMINAL HITLER MURDERING SATAN ? DESTROYING THE WORLD WITH PUTIN

Beautiful eloquent, true leadership. A REAL WORLD CLASS LEADER . Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau

This is what a real leader looks and sounds like.

I like this setting actually. Let’s see who se economy holds the real economic value in two years time. I think America will win this war by far.

Love Canada from California.\nTrudeau a real compassionate and great leader \nGod bless Canadians

Can we trade presidents Canada ? plzz just for like a month because he is a real president unlike somebody we know over here in America

Trudeau is real leader! \nMuch respect from Germany. We are on Canada‘s side. I stopped buying stuff from America, no more CocaCola, Fast Food, Amazon and Netflix

Need an immediate 50% tax on Americans buying Canadian real estate. Prices are already dropping in many areas and with the low dollar, easy pickings for Americans to ‘invest’ in real estate.

What a real president! What an inteligent and dignified man. Portuguese stand by Canada and Ukraine

lol Mr garrison is becoming real

The real reason for tgese tariffs has never been articulated. Trump is furious that Biden had a strong economy, and he wants to destroy everything that was done by Biden, as well as Obama.

Trump is not getting played. I believe just like Israel promising Trump real estate development in Gaza, Putin has likely made similar promises on conquered Ukrainian territory. Trump has aligned himself with wishful conquerors. Is he being used? Yes! Does he believe he’ll get something in return? Yes!

Is he a real person or is he a cartoon character

Nice to see there are also real presidents at the other side of The Atlantic. What a difference.

Shut up CNN. Let a real president (Prime Minister) speak. Your commentary is insignificant and irrelevant.\n\nThank you Mr. Trudeau.\n\n- An ashamed US citizen

Trump is destabilizing democracies worldwide per Putin’s instructions (which he is obligated to do based on what he “owes” Russia). Real Americans don’t support his actions and his communist alliances I’m at a loss on how we get this stopped.

This is what a real leader looks like.

An American here. God bless Canada. Unfortunately an uneducated group of Americans and a dictator has put us here. Real Americans will do our job in our 2026 midterms and 2028 elections.

Am I the only one seeing one of the most smart, clever and intelligent real politician of today? Talking like he has finished some good university, but still has brain and critical thinking. With pride and balls. Bravo! Without any choice and political choice. Just pleasure to see/hear this. What’s going on will be in history books. 100%

Hey Donald, that's what it looks like to be a real leader. Take notes! Donald Trump is such an embarrassment and no, he's NOT a smart guy.

It gets real when leaders start speaking out. We Americans are so misinformed as a whole these days. This has to speak to something! WAKE up MAGA, we need our country sane not separated. On the big stage we don’t look good as Americans. We’re too busy fighting each other.

This is what a President sounds like. Eloquent, thoughtful and truthful. There is no comparison - Trump = imbecile, the other world leaders = intelligent. Get real America. Your country is going to hell in a hand cart.

How nice it is to listen to a leader that can form real sentences, with information backed by facts. That is calm yet determined not to cower to the USA.\nI support you as a British who lives in Australia.

As an American, there’s no way I can believe that Trump is doing this for less than one percent fentanyl crossing the Canadian border. I wonder what the real reason is?

I want to move to Canada... This is a real leader

What do you get when you raise a child without love or empathy, hand them a pile of money, they 'grow up' and fail at everything real except reality TV, have been surrounded by by nothing by yesmen and women, and were never told the reality of their shortcomings? Apparently a trade war among other things.

Whether you agree with him or not, this is what a real leader sounds like. Trump is a bully

Cana should cut the electrical power off right now! Send them a real message right now

This is what a real leader and a real man looks and speaks like

Yes, I’m commenting prior to watching the video. Trudeau, no one cares, step down and let a real adult handle this situation.

Congratulations to all the moral high ground voters watching this and pretending like you aren’t responsible. How’s that feel? You didn’t vote.. bc .. oh yea! No real reason that made sense against letting a dictator come into power. AGAIN.\n\nTo you, dummies, this is on you.

Do not blame to Trump for every problem in Canada. Canada was in problem since you became PM. You are the responsible for Loonie devalue, immigration fraud, mortgage fraud in real estate, housing crisis, more govt spending, federal workers are more than doubled.

Canada and Ukraine has real presidents who love their country and their people -- America is stuck with a putin bootlicker who lies endlessly to the American people!

Canada will have to explain to convicted felon Donald Trump what fertilizer is, among other things. But it also needs to understand that Donald Trump wanted Canada to be the 51st state because he has already made the United States Russia’s 47th oblast, and he wants to give Putin control of ALL of the real estate around the north Polar Sea. That’s also why Trump wants Greenland.

Wow! Never thought to highly of Trudeau but that’s how a Real Leader conducts himself. Good for you Canada ??

Lots of wind, he will be bending over real quick. The guys been ousted by his people and our dummy dimocrats side with him . I’m so surprised. Lol

Real Americans will always stand with our allies. We are heartbroken, and it’s time for our people to fight. We will never support this current administration ??

Can we just spend the night at your house until our real parents come back? ~ USA

Prime Minister Trudeau is a real leader with class and a brain between his shoulders compared to Ex-Con-in-Chief.

Trudeau should direct his tRump comments to the real leader of the US , Putin

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!

This is how a real leader has to act, no like Mexico. Cowardly.

I'm an American, this is making me cry. For real. We love Canada.
