50% of the United States population thinks these tariffs are paid by Canada. WRONG! The American population pays this. Fact.

CNN is disgusted headlining Trudeau like he is amazing and defending Canada stop hating our country..Too many young kids have died from fentanyl poisoning because of these people why don’t you look a parent in the eye that lost a child and tell them what Trump is doing is wrong you would never you cowards

I'm sorry, but Trudeau is wrong when he says my president is a very smart man. My president is an idiot.

Oh course anti-Conservative, anti-President Trump, Liberal extremist, media outlets, politicians and supporters will paint this as a negative, as wrong, as bad etc. \n\nThey all are against President Trump and will do everything within their power to attack him and anything this administration enforces and support ANYTHING or ANYONE regardless if they are illegal aliens, Liberal politicians that embezzle and launder money to Zelenskyy that has received hundreds of billions of dollars to fight his losing war. \n\nIt’s pretty clear by their actions and reactions they careless about American citizens and are taking their Anti-America tactics to a whole new level.

Mr. Trudeau you are wrong about Donald Trump, he is the biggest fraud that has ever been President of this country! Please don't blame all of us for this moron who had an election bought for him by a Nazi, Elon Musk! Hopefully the two clowns, Trump and Vance meet their end before our country is destroyed1 They are both traitors to Democracy and deserve the fait of Traitors!

The US gives $200 billion yearly to Canada. U.S. banks are not allowed to do business in Canada, but yet we allow their banks in the US...by the way LOOK IT UP. You liberals are what's wrong with both countries. Inflation is created by printing money with no concrete backing such as gold/oil, not tariffs. Will tariffs create short term inflation yes, will it stimulate jobs, spending absolutely yes. For those liberals who keep saying how intelligent this ? is...this is the same guy who disarmed his beloved citizens and gave the guns to Ukraine. For those who sympathize with this ?, move to Canada. I have no ill will towards Canadians except the cancerous liberals that allow idiots like Trudeau to take office. Look at the facts before you sympathize with a country that doesn't benefit us in EQUAL FAIR TRADE.

As a Canadian it's nice to hear that there are U.S. Citizens that stand with us, but lets be honest, we don't want you standing with us in this moment, we want you standing up to your own leaders and telling them that they're wrong. You start doing that, we'll stand with YOU.

Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t Trump ask Canada to take care of their border and they refused and that’s why these tariffs have been put in place?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Trump is just putting the same tariffs on them that they already put on us.\nStop those drugs from coming across

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Trump is just putting the same tariffs on them that they already put on us.

Golden age of the USA? \nTotal chaos in the government due to decisions by the most unqualified administration! \nA despicable liar sits in our oval office who is destroying our country every day , every moment. \nWe are loosing our allies, isolating our country and going on an absolutely wrong path. \nI support Canada! Ukraine! Not \nPutin.

You know I'm'm reading all these comments about how much people support Canada and admire their prime minister and it makes me wonder who in America voted to give Donald Trump a 2nd term? How is it that he won the popular vote and the electoral vote? Either something is seriously wrong with our election system or Americans are bipolar!

Robert De Niro’s statement on Donald is perfect. \n\n “I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men. I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty. Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly. I see an evil one. Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.” Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong. Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped. Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them. We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego. We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership. We tried to warn the world in 2016. The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination. Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world. We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags. The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior. That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse. Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously. So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America: This is our last chance. Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator. And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided. So what do we do about it? I know I’m preaching to the choir here. What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls. We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice. Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them. Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect. Let’s not talk about “democracy.” “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. Let’s talk about right and wrong. Let’s talk about humanity. Let’s talk about kindness. Security for our world. Safety for our families. Decency. Let’s welcome them back. We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.””

Trudeau is correct. It was wrong of Trump to start a tariff war.

I miss the Real Americans... hate Trudeau but.....he ain't wrong... we don't pick fights

I am with you Canada. We are on the wrong side of things. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself.

ITS ABOUT TIME SOMEONE STAND UP AGAINST WHAT US IS DOING WRONG!

Canada took the wrong side ?

I hope Justin Trudeau comes back as leader of the Liberals in Canada. Of course he has to do some reflection as to where he might have gone wrong, and to learn from his mistakes. Perhaps learn how to make better decisions in the interest of Canadians. It's brilliant the way Trudeau is handling these crises for his country created by none other than thug, convicted felon/rapist/liar/insurrectionist Drumpf. Justin Trudeau is an educated man who speaks two languages fluently. Drumpf on the other hand is poorly educated and can hardly speak one language which is supposedly to be English. Drumpf can only yell, lie, slander and insult. What an oaf

What's wrong with Trump? he is only creating chaos and harm in the world and in US. He is not capable of representing America! impeach him. For a lesser reason Bill Clinton was impeached! why can' this loony go?

Prime Minister Trudeau was wrong about one thing. That was saying Trump is a smart guy.

WSJ is WRONG tRUMP IS HELPING HIS FRIENDS PUTIN AND N KOREA

Look- fentanyl is a problem but it’s not the biggest problem in the world. This fixation on drugs and illegal immigrates is wrong. We should be focused on peace and saving our planet. Top down. Trickle down humanitarianism . Money is the problem. Money and greed.

He was half wrong with his statement about Trump. He isn't a smart man either. He's a spoiled child that was given his empire. He's never worked a day in his life.

You want to give tariffs to United States but you don't want to accept none that's wrong!

I was a big fan of Trump, his administration and policy until last, week and now. I came to realize DT take things personal at times. I might be wrong, just my thoughts

Trudeau, my brother, My words cannot begin to express to you or your people just how genuinely sorry I am for my country's utterly repulsive and inexcusable behavior throughout the last month and a half and for the downright cruel, hostile treatment you've suffered at the hands of the most incompetent, greedy, poorly educated, narcissistic, racist, sexist, xenophobic buffoon to ever preside over the United States. Not only is Donald Trump an overly privileged, pathetic, whiney crybaby who literally folds his arms, stomps his feet, and launches an all out temper tantrum whenever he doesn't get his way or when someone else has the TV remote, he is a dangerously delusional, high stakes risk taker who wouldn't think twice about using his own mother or child as a human body shield if he thought his life were in danger. There is absolutely no value, principle, moral or ethic he wouldn't betray without hesitation if he suspects there is anything at all to be gained - you know, the type of guy who would poison the entire neighborhood in order to hoard all the complimentary tampons and lip gloss samples from his neighbors' mail boxes just to ensure that he got first dibs on everything before anyone else. Incidentally, he is also the same type of guy who pockets all the flavored mini coffee creamers from the gas station and all the paper bed sheets and Qtips from the doctor's office. I wouldn't put it past him to steal the waitresses' tips off tabletops on his way out the door upon leaving McDonald's. In fact, I would bet everything that he steals the donation jars for Jerry's Kids at the local supermarket. I mean, its already a given that he is likely the guy who filed a lawsuit a few summers back against a sweet, innocent littls FOUR year old boy for having a lemonade stand on property not zoned for commercial use. If it wasn't Trump then I'm sure it's only because he was too busy ordering the National Guard to power hose and pepper spray the 30 or so elderly nuns who had been distributing bottled water to folks demonstrating in support of Black Lives Matter on the hottest day of the year. Satisfied in his victorious battle against the nuns - 9 of whom had been hospitalized for critical injuries including the 92 year old Mother Superior who suffered massive brain bleed, swelling and concussion due to the excessive force of the power hose and an 87 year old nun who lost permanent sight in one eye due to the pepper spray - Trump had the nerve to pose for a publicity shot in front of the church while holding a Bible - UPSIDE DOWN - and scrunching and contorting his face into that hideous trademark scowl he does ever so naturally. Yep. This is the man my fellow Americans chose to represent our nation as President - a man who beats up 90 year old nuns and imposes 25% tax hikes to our ONLY FRIEND in the entire world simply for refusing to accept his invitation for statehood. I mean, come on, Trudeau, is that really asking too much of you? Was it really worth bruising Donny's fragile little ego and sending him into a fit of rage? (Seriously, though, I suspect he really does feel as though you are in the wrong for refusing to humor his delusions and thus embarrassing him in front of all his Russian dictator and Ku Klux Klan buddies.)\nOnce again, I do humbly apologize and I promise I will support whatever actions you choose to take and I will help you in any way you deem is best. \nMuch love and peace always, \nMs. S. Delois Jackson

He is a good speaker but lack of facts that can make Canada stronger and make trump feel US is wrong.

“There are no winners in a trade war, so we are going to immediately engage in a trade war.” No one even acknowledges Trump’s justification for retaliatory tariffs be it wrong or stupid or whatever. Everyone just acts like he decided to do it out of the blue.

Lol, the Agent Orange is going against the entire US history and heritage, allying with Putin? really? what is wrong with this picture??

First: sorry for my bad english. It is not my First language. \n\nThis speech was remarkable. No lies, no BS, just the facts. Wish we would here the same out of the White House. \n\nAs a german who knows about german history and how everything started back then I'm terrified how fast the United States of America are moving towards a dictatorship.\n\nEvery politician around the free world should be worried about what is going to happen if DT keeps doing what he is doing, which is undermining every treaty and contract the US is having with the rest of the world.\n\nAnd on a personal note: as a child I always dreamed of someday moving to the USA. After beeing there on holiday in 2017 and also driving to Canada to visit some friends, that dream changed.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I still love your country, but you elected the worst President for the second time! WHY??? You could have known what it would be like, everything was reported on by this network and many others.\n\nAs one commentator said: this is not going to end well. And I and most of Europe and the rest of the world are thinking the same and we are afraid of the things to come.

You know you done something really wrong when you piss off the Canadians. I am glad they are standing up for themselves and not putting up with Trump's stupidity.

Sell your product to uk and EU simple don’t be bullied by the trump he’s trying to weaken you so he can propose a state for your country don’t deal with them sell your product to uk eu etc they can’t be trusted no more and I love America ?? and there people but this has gone terribly wrong now he’s in power and by the way I wanted trump to win but now he’s lost me ?

Please remember not all of us Americans voted for this administration, and we don't support it at all. What they are doing in the White House is totally wrong, and needs to be impeached. Because we don't want them.

Is this a prelude to invade Canada? After all he wants it to be the 51 state. I hope I am wrong.

Many of us did not vote for this idiot and we tried to tell those who did what they were getting . A lying fraudster and rapist and first of all con man liar. We were shocked as many of you Canadian people. Because of our constitution we have to win three more seats in our congress in order to impeach him. He has hurt many people here by cutting healthcare and even our money. I am on legal fentanyl and ending this medication would kill me. I agree illegal fentanyl should be stopped it’s a very dangerous drug in the wrong hands.

The dumbest US man ever elected by too many dumb people. It's the wrong approach to hurt your closest allies.

Trudeau is wrong about one thing: Trump is not smart. Trump is a fucking moron. And so is anyone who still supports him.\nFAFO

Born in Europe, brought up and trained into my profession as a researcher, in France, in the UK, in the Middle East, in Africa, and having been a permanent resident of the USA for almost 25 years, I can state that I agree 100 with what Trudeau stated, with the exception of one little detail If Donald Trump is as Mr. Trudeau suggests, an intelligent man, than he is simply detesting all Americans... and if is able to prove me wrong than one has to accept that Mr. Trudeau is wrong in believing Mr Trump to be an intelligent man, because even a ten-year-old is understanding that this tariff war is truly stupid and will not only damage the economy but will further deplete the coffers of businesses that are essential to world growth.

Wrong! DJT is not smart.

TRUMP IS WRONG DON'T TAKE OVER CANADA ?? ?

SPEAK TRUDEAU! SON OF JETHRO, PRIEST OF MEDIAN, FATHER-IN-LAW OF MOSES, SON OF JOSEPH OF ARAMETHIA & MARY MAGDALENE, SON OF CONSTANTINE, WE ARE WRONG! MAY YOU CONTINUE TO STAND FOR RIGHT! BLESSINGS! Y-E-A-H! PREVAIL! PREVAIL! PREVAIL!! PREVAIL!!!

We’re the reason the Geneva convention keeps getting longer. Go on, Donnie, try us. \n\nTo the American people: sorry. You elected the wrong guy.

Dumb Donald beach slapped by two world leaders… I don’t think all the world leaders are wrong and just dd & ptin are correct.

I'm convinced Trump is a traitor and a spy used by Russia. Trump supporters are on the wrong side of history

Why do Europeans and Canadians citizens do not feel the same level of urge \nto take illegal drugs ? \nTheir is something specially wrong with America's society \nA problem that Trump and MAGA have no idea why \nAnd quite frankly \nDon’t really care

The only thing Trudeau got wrong was calling Trump smart, I mean come on, that should have been a doozy!

See this is where he is wrong. Now that trumps in office. Now we will be fracking, milling, and mining. So what do we really need from Canada. That’s right the American companies that deserted the USA to come home. Canada is always crying man up bro.
