Trump likes Canadians, he just doesn't like that weasel Trudeau.... Remember the truckers...

Half the people in these comments voted for Trump even if you don't like to admit it now but I'm just curious on when did everyone wake tf up finally...I mean it's too late now ofc ...yall fd up but I mean but damn finally,???

Canada won't back down at all they never did during the oppressive mandates they formed the trucker convoys and put a stop to that madness the U.S never did anything like that. Trump is just a terrible leader all he has done since in power is attack allies its not like he went after any of the people that were trying to get him convicted, this moronn as soon as he was voted into power he attacked Canada his closest ally ridiculous, I'm beginning to think Trump is an agent of some kind based on his actions so so retarded his actions.

Justin you realize this is all Trump wanted? You to get off your butt and be an ally like we need when youre the trade country that is our ally. You stepped up finally, goodjob

A breath of fresh air to hear a normal and caring leader speak instead of a narcistic, criminal, cowardly fraud like Trump.\nJustin we admire you in Europe?.\nI hope our leaders will work together and stand by Canada. The Canadians who liberated my country from the Nazis. We are still thankful for that.

Hope Canadians know we as the nation do not agree and support Trump's move on imporsing tariffs, and we may not like it but we understand that as a sovereign nation, you have to protect yourselves ..

I used to like Trump, but he is gone crazy!!

Idiots, Trump braging about saying things as they are, and directory. And he is himself the most arrogant shit talking about everbody, so he get what he gives himself. Direct and clear , like he treat others. And by the way he is no god, he is in fact laugin his pwn religion in the face, and breaking all it stand for. A true narcissistis. ?

Seems like Putin has hypnotised Trump attempting to break up the west

From Italy: if people like Trump, Putin, Erdogan, Orban and Meloni have so much space and have reached the position that occupy the problem is not them but who voted for them. If people think that these characters with their wicked decisions bring prosperity and peace, the biggest work must be done on the people who choose them, not on those who have been chosen. Canadians, hold on tight, stay with your back straight, continue to be what you always were, do not bend as many rich Americans have done and prone to the delirium of omnipotence of Trump. We Italians know well what it means to have such people in the seats of power and also how important it is that not everyone bends.

Would like to see Trump's evil checklist...

It sure is obvious there are a lot of liberal, leftists, communists that post here. We get it, you don’t like Trump. Run for President if you have all the answers.

Trudeau trying to act tough is like tinker bell trying raising a fist at you...both are laughable. Notice how he doesn't discuss the Canadian tariffs on American goods prior to Trump? Drop your tariffs and we'll drop ours - deal?

Yup Canadian here and right now I’d like to send every made in America item be pulled from our shelves. Wth were people thinking when they voted that knuckle head Trump in? He is causing worldwide chaos and America WILL NOT come out better. You will stand alone in the end. Too bad the better Americans are getting caught up in the hate and anger from this idiot’s decisions. ?‍♀️ ? Canada is not for sale!!!!!?? ❤

I am glad Trudeau called Trump dumb ?. Indeed, Trump is the dumbest. I wish we had a leader like Trudeau.

Finally Trudeau sounds like a real leader! Mark my words, Trump and Putin are up to something.... time will tell!

Trump is kissing Putin's ass. He want's to be seen as a tough dictator like Putin. Time to run the Natzis out of the WhiteHouse

If Trump is a friend of a criminal dictator like Putin, he should not be president of the United States. He is dealing with the enemy and betraying American values.

Trudeau, now that's a guy who has his shit together. Makes tRump sound like a kindergarter...

Trump will spank this guys butt, same like he did with Zelenskyy. You cannot win a trade war with world's biggest economy (30 trillion +) and your number 1 exporter.

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!

Listen to this articulate statesman, listening to Trump is like listening to someone in the movie Idiocracy, and Trump Doesn’t even know how to read, he was handed that letter from King Charles and he had to hand it back because he Was unable to read it

America will no longer carry others, you got high tariffs on America, we put high tariffs on you, turn about is fair play. We voted for Trump to do EXACTLY what's he's doing, this is why everyone is barking now, America has been carrying so many countries for so long, that everyone has forgotten, no longer though. As far as Russia goes, Ukraine is a cash cow money laundering country with a dictator, Russia is not the enemy here, it's you Globalists and Davos clowns that think you can influence the whole world like we are in the matrix, the cat is out of the bag, people are waking up, zelinski chose his fate, and disrespected the U.S. Trump put him in his place. Alot of you are so lost on global politics, all you professed military people saying Putin is the enemy just really shows how little you know. So go ahead Canada and act tough..........you know we carry your country, we don't need your power, our grid is strong, or products etc, the next thing will be car manufacturing plants coming back to America, from Canada and Mexico, where they should be. Let's see how long that tough talk pays Canadas bills ??????????

We need young smart leaders like him to run this country of ours. US is in shambles. Hang our flag upside down until Trump gets out of office!!

Canadian leaders, please do not let Zelenskyy sign a mineral deal with the US. trump is setting Ukraine up to fail and take advantage of the Ukrainian people, like he lied to Americans. The world needs to now fight Russia and the White House. I stand with Canada and Mexico even though it is going to hurt my pocketbook...

I hope everybody starts straight out blaming trump. Not the usa. Just explain that we like the usa, but they chose a stupid old man and now we all have to deal with it

I hope you don call trump next day to say sorry..like zelenaky

Elon Trump are stinking like put in

UK here. Great speech. Said it like it is. I truly hope that when, not if, our turn comes, we respond in a similar fashion. Beware Americans, if Trump carries on like this you may find your closest trading partner is Russia, when the rest of the world takes American goods off the shelf.

Trump like Putin is making enemies all over the world, he wants to be a dictator well you’ll be treating like a dictator.

The part being left out is that trump is doing this on purpose, likely under advisement from the Kremlin, to sabotage relationships with our allies to eventually “justify” an alliance with dictators.

He had to response to Donald Duck, sorry Donald Dump, men sorry again, Donald Dumb, what is happening with me, Donald Bump, why is this happening.... a yeah, Donald Trump, the dumb duck, with a bump in his head to be dumped. \n \nIt does not matter if some like Trudeau or not, as a country leader THIS was the only response to a bully neighbor, who wants to start a trade war. \nAnd as Trudeau said, there is no winner, we are polite, but we are Canadians and will not back down from a fight. \n\nThank you Mr. Trudeau. \nDonald Trump, the dumb duck, with a bump in his head will be dumped. \n\n <3 Canada., greetings from the Greek guy.

I normally think Trudeau is weak, but now he appears like a giant vis-a-vis Trump. Well done Trudeau. Trump does have a magic to give importance to many non-GOP politicians.

Trump is still putin's b...tch like all the rest of republikkkans. They're fools playing his game, so in end America finally will be isolated with no allies. When that happens, trump will know who's really against America.

Jan 6 Russian Elected Dictator Trump wants Canadian Resources like everywhere else ! ?

Trump needs to take a lesson on how to speak in an intelligent manner like this president instead of ranting in a 3rd grader vocabulary. Oops! Let me not insult the 3rd graders.

It doesn’t feel like America is a democracy anymore, more like a Trump dictatorship. Isn’t the Congress supposed to vote on these decisions?

Trudeau is a sniveling little turd! He desperately wants to make the tariffs sound like they aren't 100% fair. Canada already taxes US imports at an average of 25%, so these US tariffs only balance the playing field. All that said, like Zelensky, Trudeau seems to forget that Canada needs the US, but the US doesn't need Canada. He says that it is going to be tough in Canada; true. On the other hand, the average American probably won't even notice a difference. But the neverending, desperate anti-Trump narrative twisting is all CNN knows.

The people who killed Eric, my loved one who was murdered in the World Trade center, came in through Canada; not that I'm upset blut it. I just wish they never could've lied their way through to kill someone they never knew, whio WASN'T greedy OR evil but died for it anyway while we watched it happen. Does anyone know what that feels like? I felt like I was standing in the 9th circle of Dante's hell.\nJust like I feel right now. Being punished for something I DIDN'T do again. Punish HIM. He's the one doing it.\nMary Trump has never called him smart. She's his niece.

Respect Trudeau. Respect Canada. Trump, Musk and Vance are mentally ill dictators like Putin. America by voting, choosing these people you chose this path for you a path of global isolation and division and destruction. Putin is laughing now at you America ?.

As an American who voted for Kamala, it’s been like watching a trainwreck the past months. Really sad it’s going to take experiencing the worst for Americans to understand how much of a liar trump is. Canada should do whatever they need to to defend themselves and their economy

Trudeau shouldnt talk, he is hated by his own ppl and TRUE AMERICANS STAND WITH THE USA if you dont, you are a traitor plain and simple.. not cater to simpletons like Trudeau who has done more to censor his ppl that protests always follow him. WE the MAJORITY who VOTED for Trump, OUR POTUS is doing what we the PEOPLE want. in the end we dont need Canada, they needs us. thats just a fact. when we sell our good in Canada, they tax us up the wazoooo, and we cant do the same? fk them ... thats not fair. USA is not the world POLICE and this highway robbery from other nations has to come to a stop as we have been giving consistantly for years and been getting the shaft from numbnuts like this fool. now we have a PRESIDENT with BALLZ....... and YES i served this country... 19k tank armored crewman and i served proudly...

Mr. Trump you don’t run a country like your business. Like Canada PM said it’s a dumb thing to do.

And yet—Trudeau taps out, while Trump gears up to drag the whole world into a trade war where nobody wins. It’s like watching a car crash in slow motion… but with extra drama.

Power in the hands of Trump is like handing over a burning matchstick to a crazy monkey who takes pleasure in burning everything.

is not it open trade? USA can do whatever they want. Trump is doing it for his country. why do you talk it when it happens to only your country? They are doing the same thing to Iran, China and Russia for years. why did not talk like this when USA did same thing China and Russia and Iran. if they can do it to those countries, they will also do it to your country. What USA is doing to Russia, China and Iran for years is unjust and illegal. But as Canada you would not speak it out. If you do not talk about unjust, if you keep silent, that it would happens to you one day is inevitable. Speak for justice for everyone, not just for your country, dear Canada.

Mr. Trump we thank you for dealing with our budget and splitting ties with freeloaders. Canada cant defend themselves and we dont need their bacon or anything they have at all. We have enough coal to fuel the US for over 300 years. We been subsidizing them every way and that is how they can give free healthcare and education while Americans dont have that option. Trudeau is a weak leader that wants to talk tough like Zelensky. And Americans or veterans that dont support your president is not a patriot to your country but a freeloader too. Taxpayers gave Ukraine hundreds of billions of dollars under senile Biden the worst president in US history and Zelensky want us to give him more for his war to nowhere. And then Ukraine want to not repay us unlike how they got loans from the European Union. Let Russia take Ukraine because that war is not our problem, we did enough. Lets put America first and that why the country voted for Trump. And Trunp is keeping his promise. God Bless America and Trump!

Are there any Trump supporters out there who would like to comment ??? Amazing how you have all gone quiet !!!

Trudeau has his problems in Canada but all Canadians stand behind him in this moment, Canada will always stand up to bullies and tyrants like Trump and Putin. We stand for freedom and democracy.

Like Ukraine president he will ask sorry from trump soon ?
