From all the bullying that this man gets from Canadian citizens and American leaders, I love how he handles things very professionally. He’s got exceptional self control and never lost his temper. Always showing humbleness. A great example of a true Canadian.

Look at him, Donald Trump: \nTHIS man has got style, manners and intellect. This is exactly what a great statesman look like!\nGermany stands with Canada! ????♥️??

Crazy to see how relations have broken down between our two countries and sad for all my great American friends and thanks for your support but anyone with half a mind could see this coming. So many Americans, even republican voters, now waking up to the cold reality of a treasonous, mad president allied to a Russian mad man, isolating the US from the rest of the world. He was basically elected to repaire the economy. Ha! Nice going you orange freak. The stock market is crashing like a Trump casino. You bankrupt two casinos and now you are doing the same to America. Oh! and I hope you're listening to Trudeau's speech, this is what a real leader sounds like. CANADA STRONG AND FREE!!!

When you see other world leaders and then you see ours, depressing does not begin to cover the situation. It’s OK that DJT doesn’t care about being a laughingstock, but making the U.S. & all its citizenry despised throughout the civilized world… Isn’t that too great a price to pay for one man’s boundless narcissism and hubris? Isn’t it?

You really really have no idea what your doing when you've pissed off Canada , for the love of God if there is any real Americans left stand up and say no to this reality show that exsits in the mad man's head.\nHundreds of years to become a great country ....one man and his dog is breaking it apart in a matter of weeks. Running a country is not the same as a business , it will be the greatest error ever in mankind.

as an old Swissman. Impressive speech Mr.Trudeau! This is how a true leader speaks. Long live Canada!\nWhat is this orange madman doing with his great country, the USA? \nHow could anyone vote for such a man? You can see what he's doing. Starting an economic war for what?

Dude Its a shame you stepped down. Because you are one Awesome leader. I would rather be #Canadian Right now Than an American. I have found that being an American is not what I hoped it might be. I have been to Canada. Its a wonderful Beautiful nation and its people are some of the coolest in the world. I live so Close to Canada I am sorry We are doing this to you. and the Great Canadian's. I am incensed and angry right now. I want to just leave and defect to another country. I can not Stand the Hideous evil Man Trump And his lackey sidekicks Musk and VD Vance. They are destroying this great nation. Why the military has not stepped in here. Only shows its Cowardice and weakness to follow its own oaths to the nation and its people. Trumps first term was a nightmare. This Term is horrifying. And its killing people. Soon there will be Farms/Camps. Then worse things will come. In Advance There are those of us who are sorry now. Many of us do not have the ability to stop this. and we really really want too.

Wall Street is wrong. Trump is NOT smart.\n\nThis is what a real world leader looks like, what a REAL man looks like.\n\nTrump is putting the screws to the American people. He’s grab America by the pussy.\n\nIt’s disgusting. Turning us into an “AntiAmerca”does NOT make America great

I’m am Ukrainian Canadian and over the last few days I see how the new US government’s policy ruining everything we all believe in so dearly: democracy, friendship, helping shoulder to those who needs support against the bloody dictators, and firing thousands of people without cause who provided cybersecurity, guarded fairness of your elections… all being flashed down the toilet. And I watch it being replaced with bulling those who is bleeding, stabbing the friends and neighbors, singing praise to the war criminals charged for crimes against humanity with unlawful deportation and transfer of 20,000 Ukrainian children into russia. Children?! And I want to ask you a question: will you be a silent bystander watching the world plummet into the hatred, redivisions of borders and the rule of heartless convicted “deal makers”? I think I know who he made the deal with... And to those who voted for him: do you still believe this will lead you and your country to greatness?? One single fact that both Moscow and Beijing celebrate watching what’s happening should raise your eyebrows and question your decision to bring this man into power. Instead of making America great again the fight for saving America just began. God help you and all of us!

Revelation 18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,\n10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.\n11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:\n12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,\n13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.\n14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.\n15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,\n16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!\n17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,\n18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!\n19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

Did he really say Trump is a smart man? ???? they do have some funny f'n people in that country. Lots of great comedy minds come from Canada!

Donald, only a great man can make America great again. You are not a great man, so you can make America only miserable.

The current government only cares about their personal bank accounts; they want to destroy true Americans. Trump is not a true American; he is Putin's pet and will follow everything Putin wants. The people who follow Trump are his criminal gang, to fulfill Trump's dream that he is some great gangster. He is not a gangster, he's a con man, lying piece of crap. True Americans are disgusted at the very thought of him; we can't stand to see his face, hear his voice, or hear his name. The American government is destroyed because Trump is in the White House because the stupid people elected him.

This man has destroyed the great country of Canada and should be imprisoned for his acts. He is a disgusting human being and a communist!

European here. Nice to see that Canada is still a great smart country we are all happy to be friends with; what really worries us is the country below Canada, since it is run by a crazy old man and his cult of bigotry, ignorance, lies, autocracy and pseudoscience. What have you done? You liberated us from the Nazis in WWII just to vote for their American counterpart less than one century later. I am very sorry for all the good guys who lost their lives only to bring Mr Trump to the White House.

As a leader, you are never remembered for what you compromised on. You are only remembered for what you stood for. When it comes to passion, purpose, and causes, there are ideas we are willing to live by, but as a leader, there are causes and beliefs we are willing to die for. \n You are a great leader Trudeau, not a liar but a man of integrity.\nDr Charles Holloway PhD

So all you folks who voted for trump I ask you are we great again yet man how could we have messed this up y'all knew y'all knew who you were voting for and still you did it anyway SHAME ON Y'ALL

This is a leader. So thankful this man is leading our country on this day. He will be greatly missed. Much respect Prime Minister Trudeau. ❤??❤️

I stand with Canada! Mr. Trudeau is a great man.

We all must suffer for the “great orange man “ - what a joke, people are already struggling everyday!

Trump truly is an idiot I am shocked that our political system is crumbling right before our eyes becouse of one man and that is wanna be Dictator Trump who needs to be Impeached ASAP and his cronies starting with the disgusting and Discrase of a Vise President JD Vance who should resign immediately fellow Americans we need to wake up and Fast yes I had voted for Trump thinking he was gonna make America ?? great yeah well he duped us all he is slowly Destroying America he has his own agenda which obviously is not Good. God bless our Country and Slava Ukraine ?

Fentanyl coming in from Canada to the USA is 0.02 %. Soo... trump is lying about that. Truth is that Melania likes Justin Trudeau. He's younger and Much better looking than Old Man trump, And THAT gets under trumps thin skin. Soo thats why he's trying to belittle Trudeau in front of America and Canada. If trump didn't have $$$$ ? No woman would give him a second look even. He looks like and talks like a Ditty Ole Pervert just like His Pal And Good Friend Geoffrey Epstein did leering at young woman. Soo that's why he's shooting off his poisoned mouth wanting Our Great Country as the 51st state. Canada's tougher than he thinks and he'll see that When the Going gets Tuff, Canadians stand up for Ourselves!!!

Trudeau is a great man, leader

Americans obviously didn’t understand what tariffs are, didn’t get that it’s an import tax which they must pay on goods and products they buy from Canada, a tax which tRump collects from Americans and uses to pay for tax-cuts for the richest citizens. But one more thing Americans don’t get is that before this fateful day an unofficial boycott against ALL US goods has been growing since tRump insulted Canada’s Prime Minister and threatened Canada’s sovereignty—whereas Canada’s official countervails ( which only kicked-in today )only target certain US goods, not ALL of them like ordinary Canadians are doing in growing numbers right now—in fact, the imposition of tRump’s tariffs today has only made the unofficial boycott bigger and more organized. It’s heartening that so many nations have solicited Canada, offering alternative sources for common US exports to Canada —citrus fruits, pharmaceuticals, and other manufactures, to name a few.\n\nI don’t think Canadians even realize how big this unofficial boycott is getting because it’s growing so fast. I’ve never seen a surge in Canadian patriotism like this. Never in my seven decades —which includes the two Referenda on Quebec separation. And there’s a federal election approaching when all partisans will be one-upping each other in the patriotism department—which manifests in more boycotts of US goods and hospitality services.\n\n Americans should know that the unofficial boycott is more harmful to US exporters than the official targeted countervails because it features immediate and longterm diminishment of Canadian purchases of US goods—all retailers know it’s very hard to recover lost customers once they’ve found alternatives (and the added patriotic effect only makes it worse). Included is diminishment of Canadian visits to the USA. Indeed, the internet is replete with testimonies of Canadian”snow birds” not only forgoing their annual sojourn in the Florida or Arizona sunshine but also of selling their properties there with the parting shot, “I will never vacation in the US again!” Already Mexico has seen its visits from Canadians (who have had a modest presence in Mexico for years) surge to unprecedented levels. I know from much-welcomed temp Mexican construction workers in BC (where I live) that they view Canadians completely differently from our mutual US neighbours—and now that affection is growing like never before. \n\nI’m continually amazed at how uninformed Americans are about tariffs—and misinformed by tRump and his goofy, preposterous, and ridiculous fantasy of world-domination. When tRump uses the lame excuse to implement emergency powers —that Canada is “allowing” (as Vance puts it) fentanyl to “pour into the USA”—it’s tantamount to saying Ukraine started the war with Russia. The man is a tendentious liar and narcissistic megalomaniac. \n\nI have faith that the great nation of the USA will reject tRump’s crazy policies—we all just have to hang on and let the needless suffering for both our nations (and the world with regard strategic alliances) play out until he either relents, is swamped in legal repercussions, is impeached, or otherwise removed from office!\n\nGood luck my American and Ukrainian friends!

The Orange man and his sidekick are a menace and great danger to the world

Thank you for a great strong response to the Felon of the US (FOTUS ). I am American and ashamed of this irresponsible irrational man. We love Canada, have relatives there and we are planning a summer trip to our good neighbor and trust me we will buy Canadian when we are there.

The President of the United States is trying to destroy America economically in my opinion. Don’t take it personal Canada. He’s fired over 20,000 people from their jobs with absolute disregard in disrespect. He left to get rid of which employed 7000 people! Trump led the charge to get rid of TikTok and then he left Office and it happened but he’s the one who started it all 7000 people lost their job jobs. He’s cutting Services to all American people with all these job losses and he doesn’t care!! He just cares about his wife, Elon, and making America white again! To start trade, wars is crazy when we’re just recovering economically from the pandemic, but he doesn’t care because being the president has made him rich because he breaks every law!! I’m so sorry Canada that we have so many idiots in this country that voted for this man because they’re racist and they wanna make America white again. It’s not about making America great it’s about making it white. Unless you do one of those so-called what he calls black jobs. Don’t really need to explain anymore than that. Either know some history or don’t. Hopefully this idiot will either change his mind when he realize what a catastrophe he’s caused or he’ll be gone soon!! From an American, who did not vote for Trump and never would vote for Trump with good reason!!

Great speech trudeau. Problem, Trump will blame everyone else when failures occur. Top man Trudeau.

Everybody says they are the friend of the US, until it's time to be fair. To the world, stop being a bunch of children... or don't. But if not, be prepared to suck it up. Be ready to back up your BS. Don't tell us what our government is doing to us, pay attention to what you are doing to us... and have been since the 1950s. Let us be crystal clear, you Canada, along with Europe and others have been enjoying your subsidized lifestyles off our backs. We are done and finally someone in the White House is hearing us. I don't agree with everything he says and does, but I agree with him that this foolishness needs to stop. Stop now. To Trudeau, Buckel up butter cup, put your blackface on and find yourself a cute little dress, maybe entertainment can be the way for you to go. Talk to you in a few years, let's see how this all works out for you. To Canadian's, Last Chance, come be number 51, before the Russia and China split you down the middle like a roast pig. Send your 250 troops to Ukraine, let's see what you and 2000 Europeans can do after you piss off the Russians... because you are right about one thing, they are led by an evil man, who's word is useless and who doesn't give a rat's butt who dies for his glory.... even if it's you and your children. No worries, you don't need those nasty Americans south of the great white north, your good all on your own. I Just sent Trump another $50. Not going to change the world, but it will let him know we are behind him, no matter what the Libs of the world have to say about it.

❤ Canada. We, the sane, non-MAGAt Americans, also do not want this, nor did we vote for this because we did NOT vote for an obviously mentally ill, functionally illiterate, elderly man with signs of dementia, whose main function besides destroying our country to enrich himself & all of his millionaire & billionaire buddies, is acting as a useful idiot pain for Putin. We, the Americans who value what our country has stood for, whose fathers & and grandfathers fought in both World Wars, who lived in the time before all of the current vaccines existed, who believe in equality, who value the immigrants--documented or undocumented, who believe our country should welcome them & make their paths to citizenship easier because we understand how our country & economy benefit from them living in this country, who understand & value the roles that the WHO, NATO, & the United Nations have played in keeping us ALL safer for many decades bc we REMEMBER or were told by our parents, what it was like b4 those things existed, who either lived thru The Great Depression or had parents & grandparents did, understand what the economic crisis that Trump & his band of greedy ahole idiots are deliberately causing. WE didn't do this. WE fought against it. We tried to explain & warn people about what is happening & what will happen, but you didn't EFFING LISTEN. WE are ANGRY. WE will NOT help any of you who caused this & this includes every MSM who is too afraid to speak truth to power. Start doing that NOW. Start with THIS: It's called The Gulf of Mexico, NOT the Gulf of America. Eff every Trump supporters & GOP politician--at EVERY level of government. Trump can TRY to hide what he's doing to the economy in his stupid reports. Do you honestly believe the average American pays attention to those? No, most are too busy worrying over how to pay their bills & all they'll see is that their situation is getting worse. They can't find a job. They can't afford gas. They can't afford groceries. You can't cover any of that up. WE stand with Canada, Ukraine, the EU, & every other ally nation. Not Russia. Putin can go straight to hell & the sooner the better.

Canadá is my favorite neighbor and I hope that this Republican caused ass kissing of Putin gets resolved soon! What our leaders have done to our great neighbors is sickening ! This is all done to make the Rich Richer and to Hell with those in need!\n Not One Republican will speak up! Then the sad,sad thing they did to a country lastly looking for help against Putin!\n They submarines him in a setup, all preset, and this man more of a man Than any Republican will ever be VOLADAMER ZELENSKY HE IS A REAL HERO Trump has to go!

Gota love President Trudeau. Great man who cares for Canada and his people.

I blame the American people who voted for Trump. I am going to disagree with Prime Minister Trudeau when he said Donald is smart, Donald is as stupid as they come. Everything this man touches he ruins. Great job MAGA ????‍♀️

Great man Trudeau ? \nTrumps is shame of American nation \nImpeachment

Great reaction! The Americans voting for Trump have to wake up and see that they had a big part in making his dangerous nonsense possible. Tho world has to stop this mad man as soon as possible before it's too late!

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. ?

As a canadian, i have, as many american friends as i have canadian friends. I know very well that any educated and rational american is completely against that group of criminals that took over your beautiful country that i love so much, disguised as a political party for the time of the election. \n\nThere is either a Coup-d-etat, perpetrated by the current richest man in the world who WASN'T elected by americans, OR, a Self-Coup perpetrated by the current administration, replacing great american values and traditions with an unprecedented level racism and removing all diversity, equality and inclusion, sending the United States back to the Stone Age. Love to my american friends who were always there for me ❤????

This man is a great leader

OH JUSTIN YOU ARE SO RIGHT THIS IS VERY PERSONAL YOU MADE FUN OF HIM AND HE IS TAKING REVENGE, BUT PRESIDENT CHUMP OBVIOUSLY CANNOT SEPERATE BUSINESS FROM HIS PERSONAL PROBLEMS, THE WHOLE WORLD DOES NOT LIKE THIS GUY WHEN HIS TERM IN OFFICE IS OVER THE ONLY TWO PLACES THAT HE WOULD BE WELCOME IN IS HIS HOME COUNTRY AND RUSSIA AND I AM NOT SO SURE ABOUT RUSSIA I WROTE ON YOUTUBE BEFORE THAT THIS GUY IS SINKING THE AMERICAN FLEET FAST AND MORE THOROUGHLY THAN THE JAPANESE DID AT PEARL HAROR MAN AT THIS MOMENT THE TWO WORST NATIONALITIES TO BE IS AMERICAN AND RUSSIAN THEY BOTH ARE CAUSING GREAT HARM NOT ONLY TO THE WORLD, BUT MOSTLY TO THEIR OWN PEOPLE AND COUNTRIES TALK ABOUT SELFISH LEADER'S. PRESIDENT CHUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT ONE THING WITH THE LEADER'S WE HAVE NOW IT IS NOT IF WE WILL ENGAGE EACH OTHER IN A WORLD WAR, BUT WHEN THE LEADER'S WE HAVE NOW ARE STEERING THE HUMAN RACE IN THAT DIRECTION AND PRESIDENT CHUMP YOU AND PRESIDENT POUTINE WILL BE CHIEFLY RESPONSIBLE. THE LEADER'S WE HAVE ELECTED TODAY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST OF THE MISERY IN THE WORLD TODAY. LEADER'S LIKE PRESIDENT KENNEDY, GHANDI, CHURCHILL ETC. TODAY WE HAVE LEADER'S LIKE TRUDEAU WHO CREATED MISERY AND DIVISION IN CANADA THE FORE MENTIONED LEADER'S ALREADY METIONED ARE DIRECTED BY PERSONAL GREED AND AMBITION AND HYPOCRACY. PRESIDENT ZELINSKY I AM AFFRAID LEADER'S LIKE YOU THAT HAVE COURAGE INTEGRITY AND STRENGHT ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN I AM SORRY TO TELL YOU BUT I THINK IN REALTY YOU STAND ALONE NOT MANY LEADER'S TODAY PUT COUNTRY AND COUNTRYMEN AND WOMEN BEFORE THEIR PERSONAL GREED AND AMBITION, BUT IF YOU SUCCEED YOU WILL BE STRONGER AND FAR BETTER OFF GOD BLESS

What a great man Trudeau is! And what a disgusting thug Trump is.

man some of my best friends live in canada. this speech made me tear up. I knew trump wasn't gonna be great but dam man. I didn't know it was gonna be this bad.

Great admiration for Canada led by a real mature leader n contrast to a convicted felon con man who hasn't the first idea of how to behave. The Jello-brained Americans voted for this excrement - live with the consequences. Kharma sucks!

I'm so sorry my fellow Canadians. Remember there is a great number of us who did not vote for this man.

This is total Anti US propoganda ! This man is about as sinister as they come, and in bed with billionaire led WEF ! He clearly displayed that in his lock step response to covid and how he treated his citizens ( like caged animals)! This leader is a socialist and has nothing to offer Americans but to leech our tax dollars & use our military defenses for protection without contributing their fare share to support it! We have been the sugar daddy to so many nations with only the consequence of our tax dollars not improving our nation, but every other that we are used by! I’m not a maga but, but this president is using leverage the US still has ( although we’ve suffered greatly under the Biden Admin ). President Trump is trying to balance our budget by smart and fair trade, that puts this country’s legal citizens first! Fair trade hasn’t existed for many years, and while there may be increases felt by these tarrifs, our hope is that long term we manufacture more excellent goods here & use more of our own natural resources! Those commenting about what we are doing to Ukraine need to get their heads out if the sand…the Ukrainian people don’t want Zelinski but cannot get rid of him! He has taken hundreds of billions of dollars from the US and has no plan for peace in his nation…Pres Trump says enough is enough, and he is trying to not only end the war, but recoup massive amounts of money we wrongly gave through a deal for natural resources. Sounds like a plan that’s good for everyone involved, and that’s how you make deals! We cannot give whst we do not have & with our debt , we cannot afford to keep printing money, devaluing the dollar, and giving it away at the expense of hard working N Americans!

This guy does not speak for all Canadians here in Canada. He had every opportunity every opportunity to make things better with Donald Trump. They hate Donald Trump so now they use the media to attack Trump and make him look bad Justin Trudeau you’ve done nothing for Canada for the last 10 years, but put us in debt put us in financial problems put us in Criminal problems. We have rapist here that we brought to Canada terrorist that live in Canada. We are laughing country because of what you’ve done so don’t sit there and make yourself look great and brave and think that Canada’s behind you you better think again you’ve destroyed Canada now you wanna be a big man up there and podium and talk how you’re talking that you think you know Canadians and Canadians are speaking out well that’s a lie if you truly mean what you mean get rid of the carbon tax in Canada let’s start lowering gas prices in groceries. Has nothing to do with them. American people let’s start growing our own stuff in Canada that that been discussing many times and that you’ve just throw it out the window bring back our pipeline. How about that to increase cost and money in Canada again you won’t do that. We’ll have a fight with Donald Trump now I’ll tell you you won’t win. God is in control. Evil has no authority anymore and there’s nothing that these evil leads can do they’re swamp is being drained as we speak.

Trump supporters are not real Americans. They chose hate and racism over saving their own country This is not how you make America great. Nothing good will come from electing convicted felon and the wealthiest man on earth

It is so great to see and hear a man speak and make sense not just lie and miss lead people

Donald Duck Trump MESS IT ALL UP! THIS OLD ORANGE MAN was voted by the blinded Americans. He's a puppet of a dictator. A cowardly leader who doesn't deserve the position in the oval office. He's full of greed and selfishness. Your GREAT KARMA WILL COME SOON!☝️☝️☝️\nBlame all of these to TRUMP, JD VANCE, ELON MUSK and their American supporters. You will reap what you sow. It may not be now, but in the future.☝️ You'll regret what you did.\n\n???I WILL STAND FOR MY COUNTRY, CANADA! WE ARE THE TRUE NORTH, STRONG AND FREE NATION. THE ENTIRE CANADIAN PEOPLE, AND ALL OTHER NATIONS AGAINST THE NARCISSIST IN THE OVAL OFFICE.

Great man in our time

47 needs to take a lesson from this great man. 47 needs to learn diplomacy!
