Trudeau think Trump never thought of anything like that.Trump plays chess while you play, checkers.

From Portugal, I am with Canada and all the countries and peoples who were victims of Trump. \nI never thought I would see a North American President ally with his traditional enemies and create enmity with his traditional friends and allies... all this in one month of government. We have to expect the worst and be united.

CNN is so full of shit they can’t even talk the facts of Donald Trump getting himself in this shit. Pink suit mama Paula is stuttering all over herself. The first thing she says is how Trudeau spoke of how it’s going to be hard on Canada and then stuttered about it being hard for Americans. But she FAILED to mention that Canada has vowed to be there and make amends for its citizens unlike America whose government has hung its citizens out to dry. CNN also failed to mention ton that Trump signed the current trade agreement when he was president for his first term. Never thought I would see the day CNN would skirt the issue trying their damndest not to use the words the rest of the world is saying and that’s “What the fuck Donald?” Shame on you CNN. You’re the reason the right information isn’t being put out there.

American here. We don't want trouble either man. The Beef should had been with Mexico and illigals from the south. But never would i had thought he attack our friendly neighbor north. Really corny if you ask me. Please Trump, work with Canada. They are our Friends. We need Eachother.

I NEVER thought i would see this day where we are at war with our neighbors! I arrived here in 1981 from UK with my family. \nI am utterly disgusted with the DONALD! \nMaybe he is a smart man, BUT doing DUMB THINGS!!!! \nWhat he is doing to the American people is one of the worst things you could do for your country! \n\nWe stand with you Americans from across the border here ! \n?? ??

I thought this deep state actor resigned?! Also never forget him freezing citizens bank accounts.

I will never understand how so many Americans thought it was a good idea to vote for someone who’s clearly stupid and who lies about practically everything. How? The whole world watched this horror show and knew exactly what was happening. \nI will never understand how anyone can trust a narcissistic idiot like Donald. This pathetic excuse of a man makes me sick. ?

I am so sorry Trump started this. It isn't fair for us Americans that want peace. I never thought I would see this in my lifetime.

I never thought Trump was ever a smart guy!

Articulate, thoughtful, educated, emotional response. Something we will never get under Krasnov trump and maga cult. Thank you Canadian citizens for at least having an articulate leader.

An American being proud of being anti-American… CNN I never thought you would get this low, like your ratings.

Never thought I’d ever see the US turn into an authoritarian communist dictatorship and its people follow.\nI guess that how Hitler did it though\nThe US will self destruct itself from within and all for one man’s ego

Wow an angry Canadian. Never thought I would see that. So sorry Canada. So vey sorry

Great leadership qualities folks. I never thought he had it in him. ?. Well done Canada. Respect for not bowing down like other leaders. Be proud Canada. We are of him.

I always thought trump is the Manchurian candidate . Slowly destroying within . Just surprised or not that ordinary American can’t figure that out. Trudeau was never have a good approval rating and now he have resigned from his party soon that he rating suddenly gone up because of this tariff. Good luck American . Stay strong Canadian , time to trade with eu

Never thought I would actually be jealous of another country's president. I am absolutely embarrassed and scared shitless. Trump is collapsing us and selling us out. My spirit feels the end.

Trump is such a freaking idiot!! He’s probably watching this saying, “pick a language we did.” What a moron! A trade war seriously. Never thought I’d see this.

We are ashamed of the HIM. HE IS BREAKING LAWS AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF ALL THE CITIZENS OF THE USA. He is corrupt. Never would I thought this could ever happen.

I would have never thought that USA and Russia would go against the world. \n\nNow, I truly believe that Russia has something on Trump!!!!

Never thought about moving to Canada, but…?

I never thought I would be more supportive of a government imposing tariffs on us than my own government, but hey Trump aligning the US with Putin and starting unnecessary and harmful trade wars with our allies is moronic and treasonous. The GOP used to be the party of free trade. That was literally their main plank for 40 years, and an idiot comes along who doesn't understand basic facts, such as how tariffs work, imposes them willynilly and vindictively, and the spine-challenged Congress rolls over without so much as a whimper. Meanwhile, an illegal immigrant from South Africa fires the people looking after our nuclear weapons, because he's also an idiot. And their fans lap up their clear treasonous acts.

Canadian here who 100 percent supported trump going to office making America great again but I never thought he would try to come at us Canadians like this. This doesn't only effect us but also the good patriot god loving people of the United States. I pray that God puts an end to all this and let's continue to work together for our people in NORTH AMERICA IN JESUS NAME AMEN

He is completely correct. I stand with Canada. \n I never thought I would ever see the day that our Canadian brothers would suffer from us like this. I want to cry !! ???????????

Looking forward to when US pumps run dry. It is only Canadian oil that many US refineries can use to make gasoline. Time for CANZUK +EU. The USA cannot be relied on. Never thought I’d see the day the US turned to the dark side.

“The one thing he [Trump] has said repeatedly is that what he wants, is to see a TOTAL COLLAPSE of the Canadian economy. Because, that will make it easier to annex us; is the second half of his thought… \n \n“We will never be the 51st State. But, yeah, he [Trump] can do damage to the Canadian economy… Let us not fool ourselves about what he seems to be wanting.” \n \n“This is a policy decision by the American government, designed to go after the Canadian economy… We’re booing a policy that is designed to HURT US!” We’re insulted, and we’re angry… We’re going to fight.” \n \n\t\t \t\t\t– Justin Trudeau (4 March, 2025)

As an American, we don’t want this either. I don’t understand what and why to be honest. All I know was in November 2024 I woke up to the worst feeling I have ever had. First time woke up ashamed and shame and fear to live in the United States. I never in my 60 years thought that hatred hiding behind Christianity would prevail. As an American at the last years of my life I want to say to Canada, Mexico , Puerto Rico, Ukraine and all our European allies, I am sorry we let you down.

Wow!! American here. Refreshing to see real leadership. Absolutely disgusted with my piece of crap president and his little pet JD Vance. Never in my 48 years did I think I would see the day our president craps all over our allies. Worse yet, never thought I would have a president that is selling our country and our allies out to Russia. Pray in the American people stand up and say enough is enough

I never thought I would be ashamed of being an American

Trump is the best Putin asset to split the west in parts, its getting ugly, I never thought to see that in my lifetime, its UGLY.

I had never thought for a second that this would ever happen between two friendly countries. These two countries are literally siblings. I hope for a peaceful relationship.

Never in my 37 years of live i would have thought i would trust Russia more than the States.

It is not a good scenario for the USA indeed. President Trump is showing his childish behaviours to all great allies it stood for their best. Now this situation will take even the USA toward many uncertainity and problems that can be never thought. God bless all for wisedom!!??

Never thought Trudeau would be the most respectable of two leaders

I never thought I would say this but this is the best speech I have ever seen… ??

O so scary, we already gave 350 billion to Ukraine we will never see back. How much has Canada given Ukraine? Hmmmmm.. that's what I thought.

Never thought I’d say this but well done Trudeau. About time someone stood up to that bully and the narcissistic American people

I thought MAGA was a good move, I never knew how corrupt and dump philosophy it was.

So we'll thought out and spoken. I have never been so embarrassed to be an American. I truly hope someone puts Donald Chump out of OUR misery SOON!!

I’m American but I stand with everything he said!! trump and the republicans are siding with dictators and continue to lie to them about everything….I never thought as an American… the supposed leaders of the democracy free world….would really allow a felon to destroy our country and make us TRAITORS siding with DICTATORS ?

This is exactly what Trump wants to destroy America!!!! to bring on techtocracy or maybe just to make his allies in Russia happy.. It's either that or he is the dumbest president in American history... I've never understood why anybody thought that he gave a damn about anybody but himself or was capable of doing anything that would benefit the American people. But here we are.. there was voter suppression at the very least. It's hard to know what to believe about all that. But I do know many people regardless voted for him. 30% did not vote. Which I do understand. As there is a genocide happening.. but at this point, I have to believe that even amongst the majority of his supporters he is not supported by the majority, major majority of the United States. The republican Congress has shown their true colors of being anti-constitutional . But they are redeemable. Do the right thing if you are in government if you have any power at all, stand up. And for the rest of us, Americans including the ones that voted for Trump let your voices be heard. Before we become something similar to Russia. And I go to prison for this comment.

I never thought I’d wish I lived in Canada but I do TODAY!!! Trump is a LIAR & his followers are believing the nonsense even with the facts in our FACE!!

Hell yeah JT. (Never thought i would ever say that)

For the time being Europe including my country, UK, we have to work together because unbelievably America is not our ally... Wow.. That sounds insane! In my 57 years I've never Heard such a thing, or ever thought this would happen... A Russian ally.. Blowing our heads off, just unreal!!!

As a Canadian, I didn’t vote for Trudeau but I have to hand it to him, he has expressed the thoughts and feelings of the majority of Canadians very well. Canadians are generally pretty laid back and easy going, often too polite for our own good. However, as the Americans in 1812, the Germans in WW1 and WW2, the Chinese and North Koreans in the Korean War and the Taliban in Afghanistan found out we don’t shy away from a fight when we are provoked. We will never bow down to that orange orangutang in the White House.

Mr Trudeau, may my family and friends come live in Canada? None of us voted for this big, fat, orange, narcissistic a**hole and his psychotic sycophants. Trump is only going to double down on all the things that piss him off. Look, if Trump thought he could make a dollar off fentanyl, he wouldn’t be against it - it’s just that he doesn’t get any of the cuts. And by the way, I don’t think I’ve ever heard “smart” and “Trump” uttered in the same sentence without “not” being inserted between them. Trump is an idiot. I have visited Canada and it’s beautiful, unspoiled, and intelligently ran. PLEASE let us come! Most of us stand firmly with Canada, Mexico, and Europe. I have never been so embarrassed to be an American in 67 years of life.

Never thought that South Park blame Canada stuff from the movie would become reality in my adulthood jeez

Trudeau and the country Canada are also been gifted and lied to by Donald Trump all the wonderful things that he said that he and Donald did together we’re all self-serving for Donald. He never has any intention to keeping allies happy that chainsaw that they broke out on the world stage is coming for everybody. But guess what we’re not gonna stand for it. They thought they were pandering this to a bunch of sleeping idiots but we’re awake and we have been awake. What a decent and humanitarian president going to figure out how he can help Canadian businesses whether this storm while Americans are left in the dust with their cabinet of curiosities screwing them over with no way to survive. I can already hear Trump’s read to the media. Canada has not done enough on the final on fentanyl they haven’t done enough. I told them they had to do XYNZ and they haven’t done enough. He’ll lie to everybody all over again, like every day of his life, the biggest liar.

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

Historically speaking, walls on borders have been used to effectively keep people *_in_* and not out! Does anyone remember the iron curtain? \nWe're not going to have any trading partners left in the world, because we have turned our back on all of our traditional allies...\nHoly shit... Never thought I'd see this happen in my lifetime.

Trudeau and the country Canada are also been grifted and lied to by Donald Trump all the wonderful things that he said that he and Donald did together we’re all self-serving for Donald. He never has any intention to keeping allies happy that chainsaw that they broke out on the world stage is coming for everybody. But guess what we’re not gonna stand for it.
