As an American, I’m deeply sorry for what we’ve become by electing this orange idiot into the White House. I stand with Canada, Mexico, Ukraine, and the rest of our global allies in opposition to our “president’s” bent to authoritarianism and isolationism. I truly hope that we can course correct before we (globallly) plunge into something much darker. \n\nKudos to prime minister Trudeau and other leaders speaking truth and calling the situation we’re now in for what it is.

As American President Trudeau ?? is Right buttton——>>>

Trudeau you're a PM and when you disrespect the president publically you disrespect America, so you have no right to address the American people. You don't know how to handle politics and thats why your own people have verbalized that they want you gone! Your lack of respect for the President and the United States is what put you and your country in this situation in the first place. Tou're leaving out on a low. Humble yourself and sit down and talk to the President, and address him as such, and he'll cut you a deal, and you can gain back some dignity. Otherwise, stop complaining to the world community. You look weak!

Blistering, I wouldn't call Trudeau blistering, more like blustering.\n\nThe Canadians will be hurt more by the tariffs than Americans. ?

I’m an American and I love you Trudeau!

Just take a look at the homeless areas of Canada and you will soon confirm that Trudeau is lying. Fentanyl is abundant in Canada and flowing across our borders. Trudeau admires the CCP. Let him give them a jingle and cancel the Fentanyl killing Americans-- AND Canadians.

We Americans know how to deal with this Mr Trudeau. Do something good for your own people before you come on us.

I'm American and I'm in total support of what PM Trudeau is doing. My only advice is that he should think about hitting Tesla and all of the company that Musk own with a 100% Tarrif. That would make my day.

i know Trudeau gets a lot of crap from people, but my god this was a hell of a speech. same with Bernie Sanders' speech. i got goosebumps and also trying to fight back tears simultaneously. my ex wife is disabled receiving social security, medicare, and medicaid due to being in a wheelchair and requiring consistent medical care and attention. she receives, and is expected to survive on, $800 a month and $300 in foodstamps. she lives in campgrounds which is 90% cheaper than rent, and still has to budget, struggle and go without a lot to make life work all while being in tremendous pain and reliant on help from others. Trump, Elon, and all the other billionaires in charge are literally trying to make the ones suffering the most to suffer more while making them even richer. its absolutely disgusting how soulless these CEOs are. the world is ashamed of us and frankly if you are American and not ashamed and embarrassed by what these billionaires are doing with our relationship to not only our country but the entire world....then you arent a patriot, you are a cult follower, and you are part of the problem.

As an American from South Carolina, I am so impressed and appreciative of Canada and Prime Minister Trudeau. His speech is Sincere and Caring… so Refreshing!! I am with Canada and Ukraine!!

Much respect PM Trudeau. I’m an American with Canadian roots as my parents were born and raised in Alberta. Your message was spot on and I’m truly embarrassed and ashamed of our current leadership and the decisions they are making. I hope that someday they will come to their senses. In the meantime thank you for being a true statesman and leader in these difficult times.

TRUTH!! The truth hurts Trump’s plan of chaos!! Thank you Mr. Trudeau; Republicans need to hear the TRUTH and end the misinformation! There is no end to the illogical actions that Trump is making but tariffs have been proven to result in a recession. Cutting thousands of jobs of people making $18/hr is insane!! Now, the government can pay unemployment and healthcare for people who were paying taxes! Then there is revenue lost because National Parks and Federal common spaces are closed. Then there was the this: CDC restricted from updating Americans on the latest epidemiologist reports on Covid, bird flu, the chickenpox outbreak in Texas, flu, and every other potential pandemic virus. Women and children will die as a result of this action! \nAgain, illogical anctions along with Trump aligning himself with Putin and every other dictator. He can move to Russia if he wants to live his life under Putin. He treats everyone the same; expendable!

Boohh Trump, Cheers Trudeau! Canada shall lead North America sooner than later !Let God remind USA not TRUST elonMask, the worst American Politician INEFFICIENCYWISE!

while trudea claims to care about the drug smuggling to americans who does trudeau think these tarriffs will affect the hardest\nthe drug addicted poor of course\nthey will suffer the most\nso trump and trudeau are combining efforts to cause more grevious harm to people with problems in this case drug problems\nits american cia that supplies these drugs to americans along with the dea and local police forces\nthe supplier of drugs can not also be expected to stop the flow of drugs to americans this is the real reason america is so devestated by illegal drugs\namerica is truly at war with america\nnow trump is in direct war against the american poor\nto increase their pain\nits a christian sadistic its sadism christian style\nthey call it tough love\nthats idiocracy\nits full blown sadism

Americans Support and Respect Canada, Canadians and Prime Minister Trudeau.

Trudeau is saying exactly more or less what zelensky was saying when he went into the Trump's den and got mauled by all of the Mega Trump cult conspiracy supporters. I don't know what Kool-Aid they've been drinking but it's betrayal and hazardous to our allies and most of the American people. The only party that gets stronger from this is russia. Our present obviously has been compromised by Vladimir Putin he's a traitor he should be tried for treason. In the end soon he will get his pay back one way or another for causing so much outrage

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.

Trudeau care more about Americans than Trump.

Trudeau isn't what Rogan says he is. I'm a Canadian with morals and empathy. I was formerly a centrist, possibly right leaning. That has all changed now. \n\nWe have the same far right agenda working to assault Canadian values up north. Americans are being subjected to a fairytale 'mandate' that was swindled with lies and deceit, Trumps 2 favorite tacts.\n\nI'm 40 now. Pretty brushed up on history. I can't fathom why any reasonable person thinks podcasters or real estate agents can govern. \n\nIn the past, swineherds could become Generals, yes. BUT There has to be levels of experience in Governance to handle the responsibility of having lives in ones hand. \n\nDemocracy is the only way, lets not go backwards. FUCK TRUMP, FUCK ELON.

As an American, I apologize to Prime minister Trudeau and Canada. I really think we have a hitler in the works. God help us.

Canadian here, and I just want to adivse my American friends to not believe a word that comes out of Trudeau's mouth.

PM TRUDEAU, Vive le Canada!! Stand tall, most Americans did not vote for Donald Trump the traitor, compulsive liar, his new play stooge - Elon Musk, who was not an elected official - he bought his “special employee position” by donating\n$6 billion to his presidential campaign! \n\nTrump is not trustworthy, he never was, he’s a compulsive liar, always was, he manipulates people - always did to get his way, he doesn’t know American history or European history- never did, he adored reading about Adolf Hitler and how he manipulated the German people to turn against Jews and minorities just like what is being done today by his REPUBTARD PARTY who are afraid to stand up against SATAN -this is who TRUMP sold his soul to to gain the White House including Putin,

I know that Trudeau is not very popular now, but I've had so much more respect for him in the last few weeks. He'll be gone in a couple of weeks, so the haters can relax. I like how he's standing up to the American wannabe dictator and uniting Canada.

I am American and awfully ashamed of Donald Trump and his gang. Loved it when the Prime Minister Trudeau said Donald, the Wall Street Journal said you are a smart man but this is a very dumb thing to do. Eloquent, classy and presidential, totally opposite from Donald and gang.

So sorry Prime Minister Trudeau to u and ur lovely Canadians! For this trade war! We as Americans well most of us feel really bad We r going threw so much more hardships because of dumb decisions going on in our government

Trudeau is speaking truth to power, and he is clear as glass that this mindless alienation of Canada is going to rebound on Americans. Teudeau is a REAL LEADER. Unlike one in Australia. Every Aussie PM cows down and boot licks for Yankeeland. Neither major party could ever really stand up to Trump the Dumb Dump if he hurt our economy. Limp lettuce government that is so America dominated down under, where I live.

Mr. Trudeau, as an American, I sincerely apologize and I'm truly embarrased and ashamed of what my country has done ?. This is a sorrow moment and on behalf of all my American brothers and sister who are just as appalled, we stand with you! Don't forget about us

This is all making me so sick. I really appreciate Trudeau addressing Americans. I just hope Canadians and other good around the world remember that many people here do not want this. I'm afraid many of us may need help soon.

I must admit that despite my reservations about Mr. Trudeau, I can only stand in solidarity with the statements made here. Politics should not be a matter of ego, trade wars, or personal disagreements, as it is ultimately the people who, unfortunately, remain the eternal victims of these trivial battles. \n\nAs a French citizen, I can therefore only join this fight against political absurdity, which Mr. Trudeau has led here with both tact and courage. This is not a struggle against the American people but a necessary reminder: in war, there are only victims, and as Montesquieu once said, commerce should be driven by the spirit of peace, not by the constant temptation of war.

I’ve read a lot of comments from people saying “Trudeau ruined Canada” in response to people expressing their support for Trudeau in this time.\n\nThat’s not really a great point.\n\nIf Trudeau hasn’t been good for Canada, but gives a coherent, inspiring, and professional speech in this moment that unites Canadians and others alike, then that should speak so much to how awful this situation is. Huge respect to Trudeau and Canada for not backing down. I hope one day we’ll be allies with the right side of the world again.\n\nWe wanna talk about a leader ruining a country? That’s what Donald is doing right now. Except he won’t unite us in the future with a speech like this.\n\nThis American stands with Canada!

Thank you Justin Trudeau. I am an American and I am so proud of you. I support everything you say.

Trudeau your people hate you just like Americans hate Biden I Thought you were going to resign? . You talk fentinal but you refuse to close off smuggling, don't lie to us or the world.

Trudeau you must know not all of us Americans support trumps plans with Russia.

Thank you, Prime minister Trudeau for your honesty to the American people.

Its too bad that PM Trudeau couldn't come to the U.S. and run our country as president! Having a hostile lil' man girl as president has been so stressful for all Americans everyday 2017-2021 so its getting even worse than back then day by day!

As an American, First, I am embarrassed by our petulant child of a President who has NO IDEA what he is doing. Canada…despite what you hear, we love you. Our incompetent government is our biggest problem and I am truly sorry for The Worst President we have ever had and his idiocy toward you. He’s our National Embarrassment. Canada we love you. ❤ I truly wish Trudeau was our President! A true pro with class and decorum.

As a Mexican, I truly respect and admire Mr. Justin Trudeau, a true leader while inmature Trump is leading the US to it's doom... lets see how this goes, Trump now has enemies all over the world, I'm so sorry for the fellow American citizens that will suffer for voting again for this hillbilly Clown and hillbilly JD Vance!

Canada needs a new leader. Trudeau will never beat Trump. Our president is the most powerful and influential human being on planet Earth, and Trudeau is like a leader in training, with no business acumen whatsoever. Canada cannot exist without American dollars circulating through it.

As a Canadian I don't like PM Trudeau but he is bang on about tariffs harming everyone and this speech here is fire ? This is going to end badly for Trump just like it did in his first presidency because it will hurt American's economically, and eventually they will push back against Trump. Love that he calls him Donald, not president Trump...LOL.

Trudeau hate The Russians but why retaliate at the American people. If President Trump is dumb like he said why our we in debt? All garbage to threaten the USA. If Americans stand for Canada right now Russia and China combined military will take over the US in the future.\nNo war for all. Peace on Earth. Trump is the man. #AmericaStrong

As an American I wish Trudeau was our president. Take notes Donald. This is true leadership here. No billionaire pulling his strings.

I sincerely apologize Mr Trudeau that our president is a dick. I’m fairly certain the majority of Americans are cringing today.

Trudeau houses more Russians than any other nation. I love Russians, but he is completely wrong and he is an absolute narcissist! Believe what you want, but I am American and will fight for truth and honor!

Trudeau is talking like we’re Americans. Dude we’re Russians now.

Trudeau slapping a brain cell tell the American people that you're going to do everything you can possibly do to stop drugs coming into our country and killing people

Prime Minister Trudeau epitomizes a true leader. I wish he was my country's leader. Kudos to him for directly addressing the P.O.S. who calls himself our leader. Thank you for your support of the American citizens and empathizing with us as we have to endure yet another term.

Good on you Trudeau, an? excellent responses. Hope all Americans will understand who Trump is not Americans first but for Trump himself and his billionaires NOT Americans citizens .God bless Canada.

Here, here, Trudeau! This American agrees wholeheartedly with you. Let's make peace at home - the internal peace that comes with freedom from financial worry - a priority.\n\n(I'm still wondering when we'll start feeling great. I'm just feeling embarrassed.)\n\nOh, and here's what I feel is a fair look at tariffs, including sections about what can make tariffs profitable. \n\nhttps://youtu.be/K0V8kZyl1T0

Mr Trudeau is a brilliant prime minister of canada.The right thing to do is simiply retaliate Mr Trump agenda.He puts his people and protection of their jobs in right way while Americans run with a few billioner.Canada's Government the right man with skills to lead the country.

Bravo Prime Minister Trudeau. I'm American but I support you and Canada. ??❤️?
