You know what, I still can't believe the Americans were stupid enough to elect trump. And according to the recent poll I saw on CNN 50% of Americans like what he's doing, and only something like 34% see Russia as an enemy. So far from being an accident, trump with his stupid ideas was elected on purpose. The stupidity over there seems to be deep-rooted. I think we all need to take a step back and re-think our relationship with this adolescent nation which has always been a bit gauche but has now definitely gone rogue. Well spoken Mr Trudeau. Thank God for you and Canadians.

American here we don't care we have our own oil far as I'm concerned y'all canuks need us not the other way around ? don't get me wrong I like your ppl but Trudeau what happened I thought you were gone with your commy BS

Im sorry Mr Trudeau, im sorry Canadian people. This American voted against this madness, and I do not support this ally of the evil of the world that is currently occupying the white House. This executive branch of the US government, along with the propaganda machine are fueling the supporters of this nonsense and they may not be able to determine the trauma that decisions like these tariffs, like putting down a great leader of a sovereign nation that was attacked by an aggressive country like Russia. This is going to do nothing but hurt people on every side.

This American woman stands with Trudeau

I am so ashamed of the American Government, and I am sickened by Trump and his fascist , divisive agenda.\nPrime Minister Trudeau, I am so very sorry! Please know that many Americans share your sentiments. Pray for us.

Our Honourable PM Trudeau understands the assignment - Proud to be Canadian! wishing the best outcome for all North Americans.

Bravo Prime Minister Trudeau. More of this please. The whole world needs to standup to the demented and perverted convicted felon and his spineless puppets. The American people do not want this either.

Great speech, Prime Minister Trudeau. Nuff said. Real Americans support you & are listening.

Trudeau is 10X the man and leader than Trump. The contrast is real. Canada we stand with you against this moron as he drags the US into an economic freefall which could very easily result in millions of lost jobs, increased cost of goods - including gas, market items, cars, lumber and more. A tariff is a tax on Americans. Trump is planning on using those tariff dollars to help offset the actual tax cut for the billionaires. Tuck Frump. Resist the ignorant fool.

I love Canada as an American but Trudeau needs to be in a cross dressing marathon???

Trudeau responded appropriately to that man in the white house. that man pretends he's concerned about Americans when all he wants is to be a dictator

Mr. Trudeau,\nWe Americans don’t want this either!\nWe have a nutcase at the helm due to half of the US populations (the stupid half) voting him in. \nWe don’t want any of it and we also don’t want a multi billionaire in charge!\nWe’re sorry!\nWe can’t stop him!

This was the best speech Prime Minister Trudeau ever gave, hands-down. As a Canadian, I pray for President Trump to come to his senses. May Canadians and Americans stick to our long and enduring friendship and not let politicians divide us. ✊️

Thank you Mr. Trudeau, for being such an honorable man. And let me say here: most Canadians, because they are generally more intelligent than most Americans, realize that less than 50% of the US voters voted for the sorry excuse for a leader.

I think Trudeau might be a Hero for Americans. In our darkest hour, we need a Hero now more than ever. Thank you for standing up to the ignorant dictator wannabe that the lowest denominator of Americans… racist, uneducated and wealthy pigs elected him. \nWe wish you were our leader too. \nDecent hardworking reasonably intelligent Americans Thank You and we are terrified for our future and our beloved country. God Save America.

Thank god for Trudeau. It is not Americans but Trump who is causing all this chaos. It is Trump that wants this trade war not the American people. Great speech.

Bravo Prime Minister Trudeau\nI am giving you a standing ovation!\nAs many of my fellow Americans are! We will always love our Canadian neighbors ?

American and agree with Trudeau

Go PM Trudeau! You stand more than Americans would. We will never be 51st state??

This guy is awesome.\nCanada, you can be proud of him. Mr. Trudeau, kudos to you. Please, give an orange-faced leader in the U.S. a call, and let him know, if he wants the United States to thrive, Canada can start sending music teachers to the U.S. for all Americans to start learning a Canadian anthem. ?? O Canada! Our home and native land! ? ? ! Americans start learning it. You are a new Gulf of Canada ?? . Congratulations !!!

Trump is trying to end war that’s why he wants to make peace with Russia! And there are a LOT of rude Canadians just as Americans! I don’t think Canada and America ever been allies or close friends HONESTLY speaking! But what Trudeau is making a point, this will not go well for everyone! Wow this handsome man knows French as well! How smart of him!

Stay honest and true in every way you can. Character really is destiny. I love my country but we are under siege by our own government, a group of sycophantic grifters who do not possess the wisdom, experience nor the disciplined intelligence to fulfill the duties their positions require. I stand with Canada and admire Mr. Trudeau for being willing to call out Donald Trump and address us Americans directly. Yes, we will all pay for this stupidity—except of course the MAGA elite.

Bravo Mr. prime Minister Trudeau! Much respect from this American citizen!! Trump is a stain on our nation!!!!!

Trump is sending the world into a tail spin. Just to say he's Putins friend. America will find a whole new world with Russia and China. I feel for the American public who are watching their life go down the gurgler.....even the ones who think he's doing a good job ...won't take long for the peanut to drop in the hole. We'll spoken Trudeau. We'll done canada ??

Thank you for speaking up so eloquently, Prime Minister Trudeau. So many Americans stand with you - our government is causing unfathomable harm and devastation in such a short amount of time. Trump and Musk are destroying so much of what is good for their own personal gains. What a dark period of our history.

Americans stand with Canada and Ukraine! Thank you Mr. Trudeau ?❤️❤️❤️ \nDonald should resign!

Americans stand with Canada and Ukraine! Thank you Mr. Trudeau ?❤️❤️❤️ \nDonald should resign!

I As an American citizen can only hope that we would have a president in office with the intelligence, compassion and dignity that PM Trudeau has. At this time I am truly ashamed of my country. Especially the ones that put this hateful, revenge seeking, criminal monster in our White House. I stand with you 100% Canada. I also hope that maybe within the next year, trump will be gone. I don't know how or where but just gone. As intelligent as prime minister Trudeau is I have to disagree with one comment he made. trump is NOT a smart man. He is nothing but a 34 count convicted felon, rapist and criminal wannabe dictator. I shudder at the thought of the end of his four year disaster. What will our country do when we have no allies whatsoever. He loves russia and putin, His puppet master. He does not understand that Russia has never been our friend, is not our friend. And never will be our friend. He just loves putin because He wants to be just like him. He is the United States very own Adolf Hitler. Also , I have removed our flag from my front yard that I so proudly displayed my entire life. It will be raised again but only after this nightmare called trump is gone! Please accept the apology from millions of Americans that stand with you. We are truly sorry and we are suffering with you. God help us. And God Bless Canada ❤

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.

Bravo President Trudeau - hero of the free world! \nDear Americans, please save USA and the World from Russian agents in disguise now!

Most of you dont know what's going on Trudeau has a bad approval rating and there is more to the story. Trump is fighting on your side Americans yet you fight against him. You want lower prices but think that comes from debt of the US you want less drugs but belive the president that has free use in their country to do any drug imaginable right next to the border.

I am an American and I am with you Mr. Trudeau. \nYou have all the right to fight back. I'm sorry and embarrassed that this is happening.

We don't want this, either. <3 Canada is a wonderful country and neighbor. The true American people care. We can't say the same about the people hacking away at our government and profiting from it all. We're on your side, Trudeau, because real Americans are on the world's side. That's the actual truth despite the actions of the oligarchs here. We've been overrun.

I thought Canadians generally are not super-nationalistic like the Americans, and Trudeau is not exactly very popular too. But somehow the current US government external policy managed to change both of that. And if the course is not changed ASAP, it will take generations to recover the relationship.

PM Trudeau, thank you for your honesty and respect for Americans and your own Canadians. Donald does not represent America’s values. I stand with Canada ??.

Canada is very lucky to have true leader in PM Trudeau …I’m embarrassed by how Trump is acting. Canada please forgive us as this is not the American way.

Thank you President Trudeau! The facts are clear. We have a dictator in power. I will fight to get him out! He has done nothing to help the American people! SHAMEFUL!

Mr. Trudeau, I didnt vote for, nor do I consider Chump my president! I'm ashamed of what is going to happen to my fellow Americans and our allues!

I'm an American with some family ties to Canada and I'm deeply ashamed of how my government under Trump is systematically destroying it's historic relationships with almost all our allies. Trump and his cronies are only interested in the use of raw power to dominate the current geo-political reality. Thank you Trudeau for speaking so bluntly and honestly and for standing up to our bully-in-chief.

Mr. Trudeau, you are absolutely right, Mr. Putin is a liar, dictator and murderer, someone have said that,\n“ Birds of feather, flocks together “, I am so ashamed of Mr. Trump, so does 52% of Americans.

May God Bless Trudeau. A true leader. I am ashamed to be an American.

Eat a sausage trudeau the sycophants in the cnn comme t page her are outnumbered. An idiot like you talk down to the american people. Get wrecked bro. Canadians better elect poliveri or your in for a world of bankruptcy.

Go, Trudeau! I’m an American that supports you.

He is awesome! Trudeau for American president!

I’m in tears. Mr. Trudeau, thank you for supporting the US citizens as we try to figure out what we can do to get our friends back. I’d give anything to be a Maple Leaf if I can’t have my country back. I love Canada because they’ve always welcomed me. The people are freaking amazing and kind. I love our allies because we look out for each other. Canada, Mexico, Europe, Ukraine, etc., the American people love you and don’t want this insanity - not just liberal-minded people like me, but most all of us. Love to you all!

Trudeau is so well spoken compared to the buffoon idiot babbling moron the United States has in office. Trump is an embarrassment to Americans!

Canada, the American people stand with you. Personally I wish that Justin Trudeau was our president! Although I have to disagree with you, Trump is not at all a smart man. In fact he is the exact opposite. He is an imbecile! Undoubtedly, he is the worse thing that has ever happened to to the United States! The people of America needs to get rid of Trump!\n\nBut thank you, Justin Trudeau, for standing up for Canada and all of your reactions is just! Continue to defend your country. You are doing an outstanding job!

All factual Christian. Putin is a murderer. He murders in Russia and he murders overseas. He too has the blessings of a craven Christian Church. Everything he says is true Donny first American last.\n\nDonny the addled Trump is the best thing to happen to Trudeau politically.

Dear Prime Minister Trudeau, Thank you for speaking to the American public so kindly & articulately! Please let some of our states become provinces or territories of Canada. Please let us know the forms to fill out.... Hawaii must look pretty great to you all...?! If Donald can rename the Gulf of Mexico, surely we can adjust some border lines....?

I am nor Canadian or American but this Trudeau guy is true leader
