This is what a leader looks like! No teleprompter, just speaking as a leader.

American voters who voted for Trump! This is a leader, not just handsome (which trump is claiming to be and is not), this is intelligent, (which trump is not), this is smart (which trump is not), this is articulate, (which trump is not) this is smartly countering trumps stupidly. Trump is the failure America that trump created with the help of those racist voters who approved this nonsense trump has been doing. And worse of all you were supposed to see what colonisation has done to South Africa and other countries and you allow Elon to colonise an already colonised country, the USA).

What a real leader looks like ?

Brave and direct. What a model leader!

What a leader!!! I’m an American but I’m on Canada’s side. Trump is NOT my president. He’s a traitor who needs to be arrested. He’s intentionally trying to cause harm to U.S. and aligning us with Russia and North Korea! Is this what you wanted, America???? Wake the fxck up!!!

As an American. I don't think it was a good thing to bully other countries, especially allies and neighbors. There are other diplomatic ways to do things. I am not left or right, but I felt like Obama and Clinton had better ways with international relationships. I know our leader are trying to do their best for us Americans, and well we have been helping other countries for decades. Maybe, it is time that other countries start paying us back. I don't know why every move has to be on the media though? Especially the bullying with Zelensky? They could have talked over it without showing it to the whole world. What do yo guys think? Was that even necessary?

You need to leave. You took away our freedom of speech and expression. CNN is a big lie. People in Canada didn’t forget what and how bad you treated us. Now you are playing trump card . You made Canadians poor . All you do is lie. Trump is working hard for his citizens and what about you.? Just get out and let’s have a better leader. I can’t believe I voted for you.

A Leader who speaks in complete sentences! What a contrast.

Hey Trump Dummies...this is what a Level-headed LEADER, that Cares for his country, looks like.

You mean Canada's leader doesn't wear orange makeup and vomit forth unending lies? What a strange place Canada must be!

This is beautiful, how well spoken, how are articulate this is a real leader. I'm so impressed, as an American I am disappointed when Donald opens his mouth. This is a sad day for Amaga's I mean Americans oops. You losers get what you voted for. Where's the low prices?

Trudeau is the epitome of what a failed leader looks like for a country. He is a joke and Canadians don’t want him.

Very good speech from a true leader ! So sad that Trump is doing this to the best allies of the USA. Obviously, Putin does really have some compromising videos and info on Trump and he is manipulating him. Today, I am ashamed to have become an US citizen. Is this what the American Dream has become ? Isolationism from our best allies and sleeping with the enemy and dictators ?

As an American, the past 8 years have made me forget what its like to hear a world leader speak coherently and without lying.

This is what happens when you have a compromised leader the way the U.S. does. He is doing Putin's bidding because Putin owns him. Putin has Trump destroying relationships with neighbors, destroying relationships with NATO, and destroying the very government he works for. The Russians couldn't do better if a KGB agent infiltrated the White House. Then again maybe one did.

I wish Trudeau was staying on as Prime Minister. Canada has a very intelligent and strong leader now. What we have in the US is absolutely abysmal. Americans are already suffering due to the idiocy and bullying tactics of the current government here..Donald.

This is what a leader looks like and acts like

Hey guess what, Canada! We don't want this either, but our leader is a piece of 5h1t scumbag. And me, and millions of people are so triggered right now, and we hate him and what he stands for and what he is. And guess what else, we're scared. More than you will ever understand.

This is what a leader sounds like!

Same people that voted for Biden think that they know what a real leader looks like ????

This will truly change how the world will look at Americans. No more the bastion of democracy but more of self interest. It is mostly all about them instead of what will be good for the world. They are no longer deserving to be regarded as a leader with their currenr values.

I almost forgot what it’s like to listen to a cogent speech from a world leader. No name calling, no yelling, no threats, no blaming others. \n\nJust a true leader.

Who cares what the world’s most ineffective useless leader in the world has to say. Be a good governor and shut up!!

Just because he is speaking nicely scripted it doesn’t mean he is a good leader look at the Canada it’s not that good country, what he did to you during Covid . You need to choose different leader for better Canada ??.

Oh Trudeau... !!! ? Of course, he too has made some unfortunate decisions for Canada's state affairs over the past few years, but no argument THIS is what a serious, competent, bright world leader looks and sounds like!!

Despite Canada has some issues within the country, but your leader is much better than your neighbour. Kudos to Justin! What a great speech?

I really like the way that he said about he's not going to sugar coat anything and he spoke so clearly to inform Americans what is truly going on with what Trump is doing to this country and Trudeau is telling people the truth just like the leader from North Korea. When you get leaders who barely rare give speeches then you know that they are not bull sh**ing about what they are talking about, but Trump is doing that and he's going to destroy people's lives in America and he's going to destroy America. Why would he turn a country (Canada) who's been there for America into an enemy and that's because he doesn't care about the country and they don't have what he wants and all he cares about is money and power, so know he just turned a country Canada into an enemy, WTF IS HE THINKING ABOUT CLEARLY NOT PEOPLE IN AMERICA!

Do not fall for Trudeau, he is not a competent leader. His resignation would explain his competencies. We pay taxes like crazy, he does not do a damn thing about it but wants to raise carbon taxes too.... He is just putting on a show.... For more than 9 yrs in power, he should have put Canada First, now that he is leaving and talks like he cares, what a hypocrite!

That’s what a real leader looks like.

Feels so sad. Trump destroyed everything what Ronald Reagan build for USA. Now USA=USSR. GOD bless Canada they have a leader, we have just BIG nothing (((

This is what an actual leader sounds like and behaves. And I as a US citizen stand by this man, his words and his country's response to our hot mess of a government. We're going to suffer, but at this point I think we deserve every bit of it because our willful ignorance has thrown the entire planet into a tailspin of disaster. My genuine hope is that every single other democratic country turn its back on us immediately. Let the empire fall once and for all.

18:03 \nTarget: We’re paying tariffs due to purchasing from these foreign suppliers. We have a choice: Find a domestic supplier with comparable prices or pay the increase to tariffs or the smaller increase from switching to domestic. As such, there’s only one thing to do to maintain the profit margin. That thing is raise prices in our domestic locations.\n\nAlso Target: We could also make public statements about the products we sell and what it’s like trying to find an adequate domestic buyer — but if we say something that makes the President’s decision look bad, dear leader might do something even worse for our company and actually cause problems for the CEOs.\n\nStill Target: In the mean time, we’ll wait and see how loudly people complain about prices and wages before we do anything drastic (I.e., anything at all).

It must be nice having a competent, serious, intelligent leader represent your country to the world. Americans wouldn't know what that feels like.

Only leader in the world who has issues with America china india and many more what a leader with great vision

Never mind tariffs on energy - wait’ll Doug Ford flips the electricity switch. And Justin doesn’t really think your orange-hued leader is smart - quite the opposite. He’s just kissing trump’s a$$ because that’s what trump responds to …. because he’s really, really stupid. Something that Putin and Xi have always known.

So much respect for you, sir. Showing what a real leader is supposed to act like. be like. My one great country has been taken over by right wing extremists. Put into power by my fellow Americans who have just lost their way. Bought into all the hate that he has brought. This American has always thought of Canada as a major friend. And will continue to do so. This American stands with Canada I stand with Ukraine I stand against Putin and always will.

Would that Mr Trudeau were our leader , what we have is a braggart a \nInarticulate liar

This is what a true, articulate, leader of integrity sounds like.. ? ?

Don't be fooled by this wimp my American friends. Trudeau is a weasel and has killed Canada. I'm not a fan of Trump but he still has seen thru this bum and we deserve what we're getting because of his neglect and Woke policies for the last 10 years. he's as corrupt as a politician can get. So please wait til we get a leader in Canada that will get us back to a REAL partner with the US. An election is gonna happen real soon that will put a Prime Minister in place that will address the concerns of both of our countries and get things back to normal.....and it won't be Mark Carney!!!!!

Donald is what he should be addressed as, because he is not a President , he is a scumbag\n\nTrudeau, is a real leader!.

uk will trade with canada no problem and ukraine \nfrom a scot cant see the canadians backing down \nMinister Justin Trudea what a leader first time i have ever listened closely to this guy top man\nam sure the people in america in shock what is happening with their country

Trudeau, what a joke. He’s PLAYING the big man because he has already stood down. He has NOTHING to lose. He was always useless, god only knows how he remained as leader for so long. He’s really acting, very hammy.

A real leader No clowns ? like president Elon and vice president trump what a joke his going to sell the United States ?? of America to Russia ??

And that folks, is what the leader of a country should sound like.

I'd almost forgotten what coherent, logical, thorough explanation from a political leader sounded like!

This is what a REAL leader looks like. Trump is nothing but putin’s dog

What I wouldn't give to have a leader even half as good as Prime Minister Trudeau currently heading my shitshow of a country as opposed to its malignant, selfish buffoon of a president to whom this speech is directed.

Putin is a real leader for Russia. You are an embezzler & corrupt. we are sick and tired to have to pay the way for all our so called friends. Mutual friendship is what Putin offers.

that's what a good leader should speak ?

I'm proud to hear this from our PM. No appeasement. No concessions. We expect only a stupid response from a stupid, disgusting man. \nAll the Western leaders should band together to call out this disgusting, vile US leader & point out exactly what he is.
