This nitwit is spouting nonsense & lies. I feel bad for Canada, you need to get this pathetic idiot out of office!

I'm really surprised how sharp this speech was, and dense, with no made up alternative facts mumble. I should listen to more Trudeau speeches and less Trump. The rational, fact-based argumentation is like recharging after so much trump nonsense

Canada is an amazing country, this is nonsense that shouldn’t be taking place. Nothing but immature nonsense.

I'm Danish and I'm loving Canada's no-nonsense rhetoric. Our European leaders are cowards. Go Canada! Love from Denmark.

this bloke is a fool , the woke nonsense and his stand with EU in conflict with russia is foolish at best . people are very emotional in their comments , take all that away and look at the facts leading up to all this , why trump was voted in , all the government waste they are uncovering , the social engineering under the dems through USAID , i stand with trump and what he is trying to undo.

Although one can agree with the nonsense to do with tariffs, it is sad that cultural changes contrary to the entire history of the human race have been allowed to prosper like a weed. Leave well enough alone: to march into the future a man and a woman are needed: the rest is just marginal.

Its a pleasure to hear someone speaking well and clear without hate and nonsense.

Direct, facts and without shouting or need to repeat nonsense words

Joe Biden didn’t have none of this nonsense and chaos going on . That’s all I’m saying!?

The only thing I'd say regarding this very intelligent speech is that the United States did not launch the trade war. The orange cretin did. The idiot buffoon, a national embarrasment, trump launched the trade war. Most American citizens did not want this and are deeply suffering because of him and we are truly going through it over here. Canada, we are sorry for all this stressful nonsense you are enduring as well.\n\noh, and dumbdumb trump is NOT a smart man. He can't even read.

As an American... I have not spoken to a SINGLE person from my country who wants ANY part of this trade war... Or any other type of animosity with Canada. We love Canada.\n\nTrump is just trying to cause chaos and nonsense headlines on an hourly basis in order to distract from the fact that they are looting the treasury. His administration is literally set on siphoning every dollar of taxpayer money they can het their hands on. Nothing could be more obvious...\n\nJust yesterday they announced their plan to buy 5% of all crypto with our tax dollars. Because apparently rugpulling his own voters twice was not enough. He wants to rugpull the entire nation. Just like the Clinton's did to Detroit. But for the entire country. Because we have become asleep at the wheel. And will do nothing besides complain about it on Twitter. Ironic coincidence, no?

Just lower your tariffs on all products coming from America, we have reciprocal tariffs and will lower ours. This is nonsense from Trudeau, costing everyone money to show an example. It’s so easy to solve but he just wants trump to fail

Just lower your tariffs on all products coming from America, we have reciprocal tariffs and will lower ours. This is nonsense from Trudeau, costing everyone money to show an example. It’s so easy to solve but he just wants trump to fail

As Canadian, we don't like Trudeau but we have to unite together and flight back this unjustified tariff and nonsense trade war.

Nonsense!

This happened because Trump makes stuff up and doesn’t understand anything, to incl the consequences of his nonsense. Trump believes he’s playing 4D chess, when really he’s just performing and trying to look like a legit POTUS, the same way he does all kinds of silly stuff to pretend he’s some kind of genius businessman.\n\nThe fact that he kisses Putin’s butt and talks about falling in love with that lunatic who runs North Korea while insulting every friendly nation who calls us a friend is disgusting.

I didn't vote for that man. Female or male..the US needs an intelligent, well spoken POTUS like Trudeau. All that tough guy act doesn't fly especially when you disrespect the Ukrainian president over what he's wearing, forgetting the reason behind that. Good luck to all on another 4yrs of nonsense

Trump must’ve made a ——->personal,,,$,,, <——-DEAL <——- with Putin to act dummy like this, absolute nonsense, a narcissist only thinks about himself,, he, him and himself only, time to get in the street and the White House and make Trump feel what he has done to the other party before! July 6 seems like a good time!

❤ Thank you Mr. Trudeau, Canada has always been America’s greatest ally. No nonsense speech. ?

I support Canada. There is no reason for this nonsense. Trump is a liar and a convicted criminal.

PEOPLE ARE SO DUMB. IF YOU HAVE NOTHING MEANINGFUL TO SAY THAT PEOPLE NEED TO HEAR THEN BE QUIET IN THE COMMENT SECTIONS SO PEOPLE CAN SEE REAL INFORMATION THAT CAN SAVE THEIR LIVES. ALL YOUR DOING IS SPAMMING USELESS WORDS THAT KEEPS THE SUBLIMINAL MIND CONTROL CORRUPTING YOUR LIVES. STAY SILENT AND ABSORB SOME WISDOM. 3 COMMENTS BELOW FOR WISDOM. YOU HAVE TO DIG AND SCROLL DOWN TO GET THE INFO YOU NEED FROM THE SPAMMING NONSENSE.

CANADA❤? Can we have Justin Trudeau when he retires❓❓❓❓\nWe could use a politician that make sense when he speaks, It's been almost a decade of nonsense.

President Trump should not rule out nuclear options to respond to this nonsense. Lets see what Canada can do then.

I am American and support Canada and Mexico’s actions wholeheartedly. That said, I feel you guys are still bending backwards. Please don’t. Talking about fentanyl is nonsense. The man child you are dealing with only understand one thing — strength and sting men. So man up and throw some punches, otherwise he will call you next to White House and ask you to rub your nose. Cheers!

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!!

You must understand this, Trump is looking for money back by any means no matter what. So that's the reason of his nonsense policy.\nRegarding the drugs, they only talk about pentenyl, but they do not say nothing about cocaine, Opio or marihuana, wonder why?

As a Canadian, Trudeau is an unserious loser who has no problem preventing key infrastructure projects like pipelines and refineries that would have made us more independent, and taxing us to live through carbon tax. All this is silly performative nonsense geared towards cementing a legacy and will cause more pain to Canadians. If his intellect is so chanllenged it can't go two steps ahead and realize our economy will be crushed and we'll have to capitulate before the US, well I guess that explains the last ten years. He should be tried for treason.

Everyone who talked nonsense about Trudeau, the Carbon Tax and jumped on the Pollievre bandwagon please open yourselves and your hearts to your fellow Canadians and fellow human beings by seeing the danger, heartache and awful consequences that have resulted from MAGA rhetoric, Trump's election and recognize the need for Canada to come together and stand behind leaders that will keep Canada's (and the world's) best interests in mind, and not stand behind a wannabe leader like Pollievre that will sell out Canada and worsen this situation beyond repair ❤?????

Let’s go Trudeau ?? this Pariah Govt must Go. Well said without casting Blame and Whining using propaganda and having weasels like musk and all his appointees to do these sick acts this is the darkest chapter in American history. I’m happy to see Canada and Mexico are the lights at the end of the tunnel. Trump and Co. Are weak individuals, there way is not the American way they can go to Russia with that nonsense.

Trump economic nonsense !!

It’s a sad times our government are only worried about themselves . They are able to ruin the country and do all of these because the United states is filled with hatred .The people of the United States somehow think that Our president working closely with our enemy ( Russia ) Is some type of alliance with working towards segregation toward other Americans they feel are less superior to other Americans . Some sort of race war or segregation. How far will we as Americans let this go on without stepping up.\nOr is this what the American really want.\nWill we stand up to this nonsense and hatred?

Go Canada! We're not all in agreement with this nonsense..

1/2: Myself and the saner half of the US that read, understood, and voted against Proj 2025 understands why they need to levy retaliatory tariffs especially as a Michigander who's lived less than 4 hours from Canada all her life, who has family in Quebec and Ontario, and is a job-seeking policy professional and international trade nerd who now cannot in good faith seek a job in the federal government. We have been looking and still do look to Canada as a model quite a bit and love Canada and Canadians to pieces. We Michiganders especially in the central and eastern UP and Detroit and Ann Arbor area are friends, coworkers, and family of Canadians. Some are even dual citizens. It is sad that it's come to this. \n\n2/2: I still personally just can't wrap my head around how a trade deal Trump put together himself and called the best (the USMCA in question) is all of a sudden so bad. Logic doesn't work with these types of people... I really want **someone!!** to ask him/ admin officials about the USMCA **to their face** and see what they say because I am so upset by this nonsensical and corrupt administration.

Since we here in the USA created this mess and can't seem to deal with the orange buffoon and his narcissistic nonsense, I think it is up to Canada and Mexico and Europe to try reigning him in somehow. I don't think they can succeed, but we can hope. We're barely 6 weeks into this. It's going to be a long 4 years.

He's not my president! I miss these type of articulate speeches. All we get now is nonsense from the orange man and his followers.

We *all* need to wake up that the US has, plain and simply, become a completely unreliable partner. With allies like these, nobody needs enemies. Hopefully Europe, Canada, Mexico and Ukraine can somehow band together to stand against this nonsense, because bowing to the trump administration will only embolden them to demand even more and blackmail each of us individually into submission. Yes, it'll be tough - but always think of what Ukraine has gone through, it's an easy stand for us.

CNN, stop spreading nonsense, everyone knows that Trump does not care about border crossings and fentanyl otherwise he would work WITH Mexico/Canada. This is about him doing Russia’s bidding so we they have the climate for favorable business dealings with the USA. It is all for Mother Russia!!

They are friends behind closed doors! \nWake up people your being played its how they stay in power and wealth and you stay in poverty and hardship fear and worry.\nSeriously guys are you really that stupid to believe the nonsense you see on the tv and radio,

I'm European and I really can't understand how you can make an economic trade war with an ally like Canada, a close and so friendly neighbor.... A dumb decision not only for the W Post... And all of this will end up heavily impacting Americans as well, also because besides Canada there is Mexico, China and the whole of Europe. In such a war there are no winners.... I really hope that the American people understand this and start fighting for this nonsense to end. \nAnd when I then hear President Trudeau called governor.... Well I get even more angry. This shows even more (but there was no need) who trump is. A suburban bully. A rude man. An unscrupulous man who passes over everything and everyone.\nAmerica is turning into something I no longer recognize....\n\nKeep going Canada!

Pittsburgh pa sees the nonsense from the us gov. We the people- are screwed

As a German, I can only say, great country. My son studied in Canada for a year. He was given such a warm welcome. Thank you. The import taxes are nonsense. Trump is using a manner that will have a long-lasting effect. I hope for the USA that in four years there will still be free elections and an opposition.

To anyone that isn't an American: our president does not represent all of us. Many of us are vehemently against this ridiculous person in office, and understand if other countries need to step away from us because of this nonsense.

The Trump supporters I know either have no clue what he’s doing, or they believe that he’s just bargaining for better deals because they think America is getting screwed by our allies. This is all nonsense of course. \n\nThe American right has gone through ten years of brainwashing by conservative media outlets, and they really believe Trump will somehow bring back the America from 60+ years ago. They are in a cult, and they may double down on their fanaticism with these retaliatory tariffs.\n\nI watched sanity be replaced with complete craziness, and I do not know how we can finally get these people to realize they were misled.

I support TRUMP on his take on UKRAINE. You can’t talk tough from a place of weakness. If America stops supporting, Ukraine is finished and this talk about after Ukraine NATO countries are next is total nonsense(if Russia does then just activate article 5 and shut the f up). You cannot talk about negotiation and diplomacy while insulting your opponent. Trudeau is a liar and we can’t forget his actions in trying to rewrite history by bringing Zelenskyy to congress and applauding a Nazi Veteran and calling Russia the aggressor in the 2nd world war. That will never be forgotten SILLY!!!!!!

As an American I’m proud and glad that Canada isn’t putting up with Trumps nonsense. Do what you need to do Canada, the American PEOPLE love you ❤

It is truly amazing to hear the difference between a political leader speaking concisely and plainly after hearing another political leader speak nonsensical garbage.

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!

This is just a sampling of what happens when you elect an official do the highest office in the land while this individual Donald Trump is Holden s official position as dog catcher is out of his ability. The issue on fentanyl, is a intoxicant that will not and cannot be defeated. This is a total failure on the government's inability to protect its own citizens that is their number one job.. The only solution that I have heard that remotely makes any sense is the Cato institute conclusion that the wisest route to go is completely legalization with age restrictions. While this may not be the desired outcome it's the only one that I see that makes any sense whatsoever it seems that when a solution like this offered so many individuals who have no gravitas in this matter will come back to the same nonsensical bulshit that they're going to stop the flow that is absolutely impossible. However we will continue on that course and we will continue to fail. The Cato Institute was initially funded by the Koch brothers a extremely conservative organization that gets together a group of the brightest and the best in trying to determine what is the best solution.the Koch brothers were the group that invented the tea party I would love for anybody who disagrees with this post. I would like anybody who thinks that this is a far-fetched idea ,all I ask is that if you disagree with the finding that it should be legal with age restrictions if you disagree I would like to hear a solution that you have in mind that you think is better than the Cato Institute finding. I am under the impression that you do not have anything that remotely resembles a solution to this terrible problem. Right off the bat, with uality control, you'll stop hundreds of thousands of deaths. All of the issues that are being dealt with are just so screwed up because we've already been through this before. After making a constitutional amendment to ban the manufacturing of alcohol it was reversed and I hope that the country realize that we cannot win this battle with the same mindset. The only reason why fentanyl is such a dangerous intoxicant is because there's no quality control. Also the cartels are not affected negatively \nBy allowing the government deal with this problem. the end result would be not only do you save lives but you also have put a very negative Spike through their heart of the cartel in the pocketbook. Incense elan musk & DOGE cost cutting measures since this War on drugs has caused over a trillion dollars and no 6:28 results. The DEA does not remotely live up to its mission statement and has failed every year since that policy was put in place. I would love to hear any feedback and a solution that is remotely possible.. let's hear some original ideas that the country would benefit from.. the ball is in your court.

Trump is a first class bully, Canada won’t tolerate his nonsense. Very poor move for Trump and his team to make.

This idiotic game by the Trump-Vance gang only makes sense if they are in fact (hidden behind the pseudo-nationalist MAGA nonsense) working for Putin. And if they want to destroy our Western democracies, also in the interests of Putin. And China is the laughing third party.
