Our president Mr. Trudeau says “We” and gives credit to his people unlike Donald Trump who is always using “I” implying that he alone caused good things to happen to America.

We are all living in strange times! The bad guy (Putin) is defended like he’s the good guy and the victim (Zelensky) is criticized like he’s the aggressor. This is so weird and negative like an episode of the Twighlight Zone! I think I can understand how Trump is viewing things. Bill O’Reilly seems to know how Trump thinks. Nevertheless, things are upside down! USA voting at the UN with North Korea and Putin and Belarus and against the EU and UK and NATO alliance nations … against the victim Ukraine? This is unheard of! Yet this is so ironic because Leonid Brezhnev, who was the USSR leader, when Russia invaded the sovereign nation of Afghanistan, and Vladimir Putin was a young KGB agent at that time, working for Brezhnev, is now in his position as leader, and he invaded Brezhnev’s sovereign homeland of Ukraine. Brezhnev must be weeping from hell and regretting his invasion of Afghanistan! Crying from hell, seeing his servant, Putin, in his seat of authority, and invading his homeland like he did to Afghanistan, I’m sure Brezhnev regrets but it’s too late now. He’s burning in hell and he can’t get out of hell! \n\nThe bad deal that Clinton and Yeltson and John Major dealt to Ukraine in the 1990s when they moved all of her nuclear weapons to Russia was like declawing the Ukrainian cat and now the cat can’t defend herself against aggressors because she has no claws to defend herself from aggressive attackers!\n\nCanada and Mexico are our friends not our enemies! China and North Korea still idolize the USSR/CCCP flag and Soviet Union hammer and sickle. Putin is a thug and gangster like Joseph Stalin. Everyone forgot what happened to Alexander Litvinenko except for those like John Bolton. \n\nWe are all living in perilous times! The wrongdoer (Putin) is called good and the victim (Zelensky) is called bad! This is so negatively bizarre and wrong! Isaiah 5:20 warns against this! Putin is not pure evil but he’s definitely not a good guy! He’s a gangster and thug like Al Capone! I think President Trump is walking on a tight rope by trying to make a good deal with Putin. And that tight rope spans from one high rise building to another - the senate and house chambers of the US legislature. The midterms are coming soon and if President Trump loses the house and senate, that tight rope could snap! And all those shock and awe executive orders etc. could come back to haunt him like a boomerang thumping his head.\n\nNever in my wildest imagination would I ever imagine Canadians harboring bad feelings towards the USA! This is 180 degrees opposite of how things were when Ronald Reagan and Brian Mulroney were in the political arena!

My respects to Canada good President

Canadian prime minister speaks 2 languages Mexican president speaks 2 languages Ucrania president speaks 3 languages Donnie only one keep the good work mexico ?? Canada ?? and Ucrania ?? so much knowledge and preparation on this 3 great leaders , Donnie needs urgent ? help .

He is a good president, he is very kind, he is compassionate, he has done a lot of good for all Canadians. I would not like him to resign. I would like him to continue in the country as President of Canada.

Trump, a criminal convicted of sexual abuse, embezzlement, wants to show the world what a good president America has

Oohh look another weasel. Good on President Trump. This guy & Zelenskyy make a good pair. Funny how all these world leaders are turning on President Trump. His people will have his back, & good on them for supporting him.

You want to be our president because we need a good one like you.

I’m a US citizen who is appalled that Trump is our president.\n\nTrump is doing great harm to the US.\n\nTrump’s street-thug bullying tactics are egregiously inappropriate for the office of the President of the United States. \n\nTrump’s endorsement of a murderous Russian dictator does not reflect American values, and does not represent our interests. \n\nTurning against our allies does NOT benefit the US. \n\nTo Canada citizens: I hope you can see from the comments that most US citizens wish to be good neighbors!

Hello dear ?people of America?❤️\nI'm from Ukraine???\nI apologize?if our country offended you in some way?\nI wanted to tell you that in 1994, your country, together with England and Russia, promised us a security guarantee in exchange for our giving up nuclear weapons, which we agreed to?\nNow, when Russia attacked us, your president accuses us of something?\nUnderstand that we are Ukrainians, we are free people?we are good?we are strong?we are singers?we are hardworking?we are beautiful?as you yourself noticed?❤️our people are like football player Andriy Shevchenko, boxers brothers Klitschko, and Oleksandr Usyk, singer Ruslana, with her wild dances??\nAnd many other people you know, our people?\nSo, I want to tell you that we ?are being killed Russians?Every day, there are fewer and fewer of us??

Apologies to our good neighbor Canada from one US citizen. Thank you for standing up to our corrupt, immoral, unstable president. Respect to our independent and admirable neighbor ❤??❤️??

37T in US debt. We’ve been unfairly treated the past 60 years from unfair trades from the world and Trump was the only President to say “enough”. What’s fair when US pays tariffs on goods but we can’t charge other countries. Let’s make trades fair. No more charities to the world paid for by US taxpayers.

I don't even know why this president is complaining l, this is good for his country

Donald Trump is Problem of America's he is not acted as good President he ruined his country and the World he is Insane

It's almost as if Trudeau doesn't even know who Donald Trump is! Speaking to him directly and addressing him as Donald instead of President Trump is a blatant show of disrespect. \n\nGuess what Canada. We don't need you for ANYTHING! I already boycott Canadian Club. Not for political reasons, but I don't like drinking bever piss. And I'll start buying my maple syrup from Vermont. So, you keep your shit, we'll keep our shit, and good luck to you.

I'm Danish - we have a big movement in Denmark to boycot American goods. The US has failed in so many ways. They will learn - perhaps to late - what the price is. In the mean time I urge people around the world who supports Ukraine, Mexico, Canada and Europe - who supports the right to freedom - to buy goods from each other. Lets join together with Japan, Australia, South Korea etc - let's show the US that YES, they were important - yes they WERE the leaders of the free world - but they lost the right to that title the moment they selected Trump for president again. Let's show them what real bravery is and what real freedom is!

America is in good hands. In God we trust. He is doing a great job through Trump. Darkness does not like the light therefore it lies, manipulates, controls, and twists the best interest Trump has for America and her people first. Gods will be done for the USA though President Trump. According to God's will and plans.

Justin Trudeau is a good looking man for a president

Well 25% tariffs from Mexico and 25 % from Canada, You Americans, for your own good and for democracy better impeach your president and his people.

Trump's Import Tariffs Are To Combat a Non-Existing Problem \n \nThe import tariffs that US President Donald Trump has imposed on Mexico, Canada and China are meant to combat a non-existent problem, economics editor Jonathan Witteman recently analysed. Trump sees the structural trade deficit (the difference between the export and import of goods and services) that the United States has with almost all of its trading partners as a sign of weakness. Contrary to almost all political left-wing and also right-wing economists, he believes that a trade deficit is bad for a country's economy and believes that the US is being cheated by countries that export more to the US than they import. \n \n'I have said that the EU must make up for its enormous deficit with the US by purchasing our oil and gas on a large scale. If not, punitive tariffs will follow', Trump said last December, for example, about the trade balance between the US and the European Union. \n \nA connection between a bad economy and having a trade deficit cannot be found, political economy professor Andres Freytag concludes in the analysis. There are many countries in the world, such as Germany, with a trade surplus but a poorly performing economy. The opposite is more likely to be true: in countries with a trade surplus, more people are unemployed. This was shown by the Peterson Institute. \n \nTrump's tariffs are more dangerous for the economy, because they reduce imports and exports, partly because other countries in turn impose punitive tariffs in response. Trump's announced import tariffs during his first term even led to a larger trade deficit and to 7.2 billion dollars in welfare losses in the US.

We know Trudeau is a liar and can’t create a good reciprocity economy. Trudeau is helping democrats push drugs and trafficking he has help and participated in criminal actions and now he acts all innocent. President will bring him down and save his people.from Trudeau himself.

President Trudeau proving he is a good leader & will not capitulate to Trump or Putin the Butcher !

Our allies have good reason to believe we are no longer a beacon of freedom. Coming from a family with ties to both countries since the early 1700’s I’m appalled at the lack of public confrontations with politicians who remain sidelined by fear of reprisals from a corrupt judiciary and President.

President Trudeau. You are awesome. Wish we had you to be ours in America. We dknt sng z dictator, like Trumpit!!!! He's a communist & dictator exactly like putin. ? God Bless you & your country. Dont back down & don't trust Trumpit on his word. He'll stab you in the back. Tou have good facts as some of our medis & democrats. Praying ? ? gor all of you. Be safe❤

Lol this Communist clown talked to Trump face-to-face many times, and he still got a 25% tariff jammed up Canada's keister. I'm sure one televised speech hyped to the skies by CNN and Canadian media will bring America's greatest president to his knees in no time. Good luck, Canada! Sincerely, a Canadian.

Well done, PM Trudeau. You made us proud as Canadians. You said it like it is. Donald, and I noticed you refrained from calling him President Trump because he is certainly not acting like a president, Donald is siding with our enemies, snuggling up to a malicious dictator rather than taking a stand for right and for the common good. He has absolutely no reason to impose tariffs and is actually breaking legal agreements to do so, but we all know that Trump believes he is above the law. If you like this speech, go and listen to Premier Ford of Ontario as he threatens to tariff all the energy which flows into the States or even just cut it off. Nobody wins in this war, certainly not Americans. But Elon and Donald don't care. They are filthy rich and will just plan chaos and world domination in their sandbox while everyone else in the USA takes the hit.

Europe stand strongly behind Canada and Mexico\n\nPeople stop buying american stocks\nPeople stop buying american goods\nCountries start making new friends and allies excluding USA\n\nPoor you\nMy heart goes to all people who protest \nRemove your president and the top they are not worthy of you hard earned taxmoney….they only wants to make themselves rich and remove you the peoples voice\n????????

It's Simple Math , \n...If Biden would have Walked the Line like a good President , \n...being good to the American people \n..( by Not opening up the Gates and letting in Hell on Earth ).\n.. Then he wouldn't have handed off the Whitehouse Presidency to a common thug \n Do The Math \n.....This Whole Mess we are All in is Biden's Fault ⚡❗

TRUMP IS A MENTALLY ILL , WANNABE DICTATOR, NOTHING MORE. NEVER WAS , NEVER WILL BE THIS VETERAN'S PRESIDENT. HE IS A COWARD , NARCISSCIST AND TRAITOR TO OUR CONSTITUTION . DONT SELL OUT TO THIS DRAFT DODGER WHO DENIGRATES VETERANS. HE WAS EPSTEIN'S BEST FRIEND , GOOD CHRISTIANS. HE PARDONED THE LARGEST FENTANYL DEALER EVER. THAT YOUR DADDY , MAGA.

The unpopular president talking shit to the most popular president since George Washington. Good luck a hole.

President Biden & V.P. Harris left Our economy in a better place!\nIt has just been getting worse under musk & 45 showing us, \nThey are up to No Good!

Shame ! shame ! shame…… president Zelenskyy was just bullied by our US government instead of showing some empathy and compassion for loosing thousands and thousands of his citizens and seeing his country being destroyed by RUSSIA , ALL these gangsters including TRUMP had the nerve to make fun of his clothing ??? Really ??? It has been only a month since president TRUMP took office and the future of our country does NOT look good by having these GANGSTERS in office !!!

Global elite WEF talking points against President Trump \nJust like the democrats in the U.S \nAt least they all have the good quality of loyalty --- to the worlds wealthy elite \nRussia Russia Russia gate 2.0

Right wing Republican they're going to destroy this country, especially with Donald Trump. This guy don't know nothing about politic. He is not a good president

Get to know the facts b4 you criticize the President. Did you listen to the whole thing. He agreed to sign the deal then when to the presser in the oval office and rejected it after talking to the democrats 2 hrs b4 the meeting. What can you expect from a comedian turned president who stops elections becuz there is a war going on. Now thats a dictator. Zellenski takes 80 billion in usa aid and after 3 years has no intention of ending the war. He lost 25 percent of his urkanin people so far. The usa was backing that comedian and never once said thank you. Zellenski sabotaged the meeting not Trump. Learn your facts b4 you criticized the President. I know trump is evil be uz hes a republican. All democrats are good . This isnt the democratic party I was born and raised on. Obama 5 wars. Biden 4 wars . President Donald J TRUMP 0000000 wars. Learn your facts. Stop hating . Such ignorant uneducated disrespectfully people who get their news from msnbc and cnn. People who dont follow main steam media are uniformed . People who follow msnbc are misinformed. The dems are the cult. Country people are not kkk beer drinking racist. Their values are GOD FAMILY COUNTRY.

Please don't assume all Americans are into this crazy plan and man called Trump. He is not my President, never was, never will be. I am so sorry that this is happening for no good reason.

At what point does the International Olympic Committee and other international sports bodies step in and ban the USA from the upcoming Olympics? \nTrump has made his position clear that he feels Russia is not at fault for anything that has happened in Ukraine. The debacle that went on in the Oval office on February 28th was not only disgusting, but it proved to me that the president is not willing to be a peaceful friend to anyone on a personal or global level. Today's tariffs only cements that proof. The framework is in place to make a strong case to ban USA from the Olympics and current future international sports events. I realize this would impact many good people, but a country hell bent on hating those fighting so hard for their freedom has no place on any playing field right now.

I’m Canadian but lived in the US for 12 years. Trump keeps moving the goal post. This is bullying, plain and simple. Do not yield, Canada. You yield to a bully and he’ll keep taking and taking. I know my people of the north are strong and they know the hardships ahead are worth it for the greater good. But I also know my friends here in the US are largely in Canada’s favor and for that I am thankful. President Trump does not speak for all Americans.

As an Ohioan living on the Lake Erie border with Canada for 23 years, I am a best friend of your nation and your citizens! Canada is a great friend to the United States! Our President is wrong in thinking that tariffs will accomplish anything good for Americans or the world’s citizens!

Good Luck with that! I mean, what's new? You've had a tariff on the US forever now. Next time Trudeau, you need to grow a set of balls and speak with the president. Don't address the US. Address the president of the United States in person, or at the very least the phone call. Congrats, you just screwed over the Canadian people. So again what's new?

Hey Trudeau…thought you had resigned yet here you are ! President Trump would have negotiated with a good leader. Why don’t you clean the filth out of Canada, the corrupt drug cartels, the fentanyl labs etc etc.

The United States did not start a trade war. Donald Trump started it. Millions of Americans do not believe that tariffs or economic sanctions are necessary or a good idea. On behalf of all decent Americans who believe that our government is in the wrong, we apologize for our president’s behavior.

Trudeau what you're saying about Putin ain't good,President Putin works so hard to safeguard the rights of the weak and prevent them from exploitation by the strong in the society,on the other hand President Trump may have made a decision that doesn't suite you but that doesn't mean he's dumb, if his decision ain't favoring you simply sit done with him and converse to find a solution.Russia is not the enemy of America but the people who spread propagandas about Russia are the ones creating an imaginary enemy who in real sense is actually a friend.

I don’t agree with the government. It’s sad that our president is on Russia side. That’s not good. I feel like moving to Canada myself.❤

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!

To the uneducated liberals in the comments, Canada already has a 270% tariff on American goods and has for the last decade with Donald Trump did was put reciprocal tariffs on Canada toQ further balance, the imbalance so you guys being upset that President Trump isn’t acting tariffs on a country who’s already enacted tariffs on the United States then you’re being hypocrites. \n\nSee most of the world audience understands this you guys are actually the minority. Donald Trump is pulling at 60% in United States. The Democrats are pulling at 21% in United States. Just so you guys have an idea of just how unpopular you guys really are.

Very Good PM Trudeau President Trump Mental Man.

Just one questin. Trudeau just said him an the president worked together an beliving he refurred to the USMCA. He said it made money an jobs an economy better. So he signed an agreement he didnt bring up an coulda kept rolling along like usual, but after signing it he said its been a good thing doesn't that mean he was way ahead an the new deal still left him ahead in the positive but just not as much? If so I'd like to hear him go line by line in defence of the accusations because something isnt adding up

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...

Tarrifs hurts the countries consumers nothing else. Big companies dont give a damn about your Tarrifs Trump, they just put it on the consumers and thats us. Good God man we had a dummy as President last year we dont need another dummy in the White House. These Tarrifs are stupid. ?
