World leaders calling Trump dumb. Who could've predicted

Donald Trump accused Zelensky of risking a third world war, he literally is a guy to provke the war - a trade war.

Beautiful speech, direct, to the point and no BULLSH**T\nIt looks to me like Trump is moving to have the US no longer as the leader of the democratic world.\nI think the EU is looking to take up the mantle, though maybe a battle with Russia !

I'm just going to clarify something remember when they said Trump had allies with Russia now you see what the Democrats were talking about. Trump always blames democrats for his faults. Trump had you guys convinced not to vote for Democrat. Now are allies don't even want to deal with the US anymore which is understandable because of what the whole nation seen with their own eyes and heard with their own ears. Trump says he wants to make America Great American dream not for Americans maybe for you Republicans I guarantee a lot of Republicans don't agree with him but they all are scared to say anything to Trump and his team which that is disturbing within itself. Trump needs to be impeached he's causing to much chaos and still getting away with people's lives in real life situations this is not a joke. As for JD Vance his vice president he was laughing and asking Zelenskyy why was he not wear a suit what about Elon musk he wasn't wearing a suit? And when you ask another person to come from another country to the White House they are dressed in their traditional clothing to be mocked by these men is despicable. Real people lost their jobs, real people are dying that need aid,for them to shut down the military aid was a slap in the face,mind you they sit back and laugh about it.. Russia is the last person Trump should be nice Putin is not on the US side it's obvious but Trump laughs with him, communicate better with Putin which is disturbing as well. Having the power and money makes people so entwined into their own world,Trump should think about Americans first and not act like a disrespectful person he ruined his chance not Zelenskyy. Now We the people are looking at our President and vice President like the are unhinged, disrespectful, uncompassionate, and down right rude. Kamala,Tim warned everyone Barak, Michelle, Biden did also y'all should have listened. I voted for Kamala and Tim. If Trump wants peace he needs to stop with all the madness and focus fixing the US.

I really believe that it just comes down to Trump feeling resentment that he will never be part of a perceived 'inner circle' of establishment world leaders. It's probably over that one time when they were caught on a hot mic dissing him with Trudeau kind of leading the pack. Over the years Trump has shown over and over again that he is that petty and all of his decisions have an absolutely childish basis, yet the American people voted him in a second time. I've run out of patience with the American people too. They're not really doing anything about this except saying online that they support Canada just so they can feel a little better about themselves. If you guys want a dumpy predator for president that's your business but I will be doing my part to fight him and his unjust attacks against my country.

Trump, Vance, and Musk are doing irreplaceable damage to America. How can the world ever trust America again. \nFox and Murdoch have created an idiocracy.

European here; Trump and his administration completely disqualified themselves as leader of the free world. It will take time to undo the complete fall-out, but I know there are Lots and lots of Americans who disaprove his approach. I am with you and know you are the force for good, as Americans have instilled this in the past. Unfortunatly it will get worse, before it gets better.

WTF is happening in the world right now. With Starmer Dictating to its own citizens, trying to freeze its pensioners and starve them to death, to have hundreds of thousands homeless british people whilst giving free healthcare, homes, iphones, bags of cash etc to 1 million muslims, mostly illegals, geandmothers thrown in jail for a comment on social media, war veterans taken to court for social media posts which was not showing hatred but basicalky stating the obvious.. now Trump losing the plot altogether. Revigorating putins dictatorship, WTF is happening?

Trump is playing right into Putin's hands obviously has never read a history book or two look at America's stance at the end of World War II and we've been fighting against the Russians ever since they are not America's friend

Canadian here. We helped America in 1980 by saving American diplomatic staff from captivity in Tehran. We suffered the loss of Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan. This is how we are paid back. The Trump Regime won a election with just 1.7% of the vote. Trump is becoming enemy number 1 in the free world. Stand up Americans against this horrible MEGA regime before your freedoms and liberty disappear.

Trump thinks America rules the world whereas the balance can easily shift by this kind of aggressive approach, especially when there is a tremendous economical power called CHINA! I expect the infamous arrogant American culture will have to learn being humble soon. You should thank Trump for what is going to happen next.

As a European, it's a pitty I'm not in America anymore. I'm very curious what the American citizens think about this. This will have a negative effect on the entire world. I don't know if Trump realizes it, but America will not come out on top. It will become the biggest loser of this whole ordeal, I'm afraid. This is becoming dangerous. Europe always saw the East as the big threat, but it might be the West. (Not you Canada, we love you <3 )

How can you listen to a bloke like Donald Trump and even remotely consider him in the same ball park as Trudeau? The entire US administration wouldn't be able to match this man's intelligence. Republicans man. The world's loudest and stupidest people.

Cut the power off to the U.S. ?? and stop the 4 million barrels of oil going over the border put a stop to the Uranium going south no more Nickle or steel or Aluminum, Potash for their Farmers stop that also, the additional measures being considered will be painful and unfortunately the majority of Americans don't realize what's coming their way sure Canada ?? will feel pain also but we are standing up for what's right these tariffs is an unprovoked attack on our economy and you can bet Vladimir Putin ?? is smiling now knowing Trump can be compromised just look at what Putin ?? has managed to do so far he has manipulated Trump into alienating all his allies which has now happened you can bet that Vladimir Putin ?? is going milk this till he either succeeds in destroying the world ? view of the U.S.?? or manipulates Trump into telling him things he shouldn't to further his plans because if you think Vladimir Putin ?? does have a deck of cards up his sleeve you're nieve he has shook the hands of 2 dictators, Kim Jong Un ?? and Vladimir Putin ?? and has burned all his bridges with allies and you still think Russia isn't trying to interfere politically so it works to their advantage it already has. Hell he is ex KGB for crying out loud if that's not a red flag then the U.S.?? has more issues than I thought. How could Trump and his thugs attack President Zelensky ?? on live T.V. for the world ? to see how disrespectful, cruel, a total lack of compassion for a president who has had his country destroyed he's losing his people and that shirt President Zelensky was wearing was from a young girl back in Ukraine the U.S. ?? played Judge, Jury and executioner on live T.V. They are punishing President Zelensky for absolutely no reason by stalling aid to Ukraine his people are being slaughtered and they want Ukraine to give up territory and that's not acceptable under any circumstances Trump is trying to force President Zelensky ?? into a deal with Russia ?? by stalling aid. So let's punish people in a country that has been destroyed even more to force them into a deal with Russia ?? that would require Ukraine to give up territory absolutely not! Ukraine must remain in tact and return to its former glory ?? the United States of America ?? can no longer be trusted especially if they attacked their closest allies and insulted us continually did WW1 and WW2 mean absolutely nothing to the U.S.?? when Iran ?? took American hostages Canadians ?? worked tirelessly to devise a plan to get them back to the U.S. and succeeded in doing Just that the Canadians brought back the Americans safely. When 9/11 happened and Canada ?? took on thousands of passengers in Gander Newfoundland Canada ?? we opened our airspace and landed each and every one of them safely then when Americans couldn't get their medication, Gander gave it to them free of charge when Americans went shopping for clothes the stores gave it to them free of charge everything they needed was provided free of charge they were fed housed offered compassion and opened their homes so Americans could shower and clean up. So Canadians has always been there for the U.S.?? and this is how Canada ?? is repaid for its sacrifices made during both wars and other historical events that involved both countries ????? So if the world ? sees the U.S. attacking it closest allie for no reason and insulting Canada ?? at every turn and spreading complete lies about Canadians saying we want to be the 51 St State! No Canadians want that I can tell you, not for anything or any amount of Gold or currency would Canadians want to be part of the U.S.?? we'll the world ? has seen the 2 faces of the United States ?? now and you can bet the confidence in all aspects in that country will plummet! The ?? can't be trusted anymore.

ITS ABOUT WORLD CONTROL WITH TRUMP PUTIN KIM IRAN

How do we stop the flow of trump around the world

CNN is so full of shit they can’t even talk the facts of Donald Trump getting himself in this shit. Pink suit mama Paula is stuttering all over herself. The first thing she says is how Trudeau spoke of how it’s going to be hard on Canada and then stuttered about it being hard for Americans. But she FAILED to mention that Canada has vowed to be there and make amends for its citizens unlike America whose government has hung its citizens out to dry. CNN also failed to mention ton that Trump signed the current trade agreement when he was president for his first term. Never thought I would see the day CNN would skirt the issue trying their damndest not to use the words the rest of the world is saying and that’s “What the fuck Donald?” Shame on you CNN. You’re the reason the right information isn’t being put out there.

Trudeau is right in every aspect, Trump is an enemy of the free world

Well done. Trump thinks he can do whatever he wants with the world.

reciprocal, you charge us, we charge you, this sissy boy has failed Canada. and no, the American people wanted President Trump to put tariffs on you and Mexico for not stopping drugs and are helping China to kill Americans. so, this is your punishment...the world will no longer take advantage of the US any longer, 77 million Americans voted for President Trump take America back from the world stealing from Americans, President Trump has the highest approval rating supporting him.

Donald J. Trump is the best President EVER! I love President Trump. Thanks God for Trump. As for Ukraine, that shouldn't even have been a priority for America. Ukraine should have nurtured better relations with all its neighbors, and especially with Russia, and not try to drag the world into a needless WW3. Btw, why is Trudeau still in offoce? His dad was a proud communist. Just like his dad, Trudeau has communistic tendencies.

Thank for teach Doanl Trump thta even in a battle a person in politic could be polite and you are rignt in all , Donal Trump is a president that does not how to talk polite or have a discussion with elegance this a war for everyone and hurting the world in general special our own neighbors sad to see hope this 4 years past fast so this guy can leave america LOVE CANADA

The trouble is, such important messages - THE TRUTH - doesn't reach blinkered, uneducated Trump supporters. Just wait & see how Pox News distorts & manipulates PM Trudeau's important message. Trump's America has announced itself as an enemy of the Free World. Shame on you, America. SHAME!

I'm from the UK and I am very impressed with the Canadian Prime Minister's response, what a contrast from the felon in the White House. I have been researching which Canadian products are available here and will be switching to them and away from U.S products. And to ordinary Americans who are as disgusted by their leadership as so many of us around the world are, I hope you will be able to reclaim your country back from Trump and MAGA who are doing so much harm to you.

Long live Canada. The USA will soon be out of NATO and have no back up from any NATO country, when China, Russia, Iran and North Korea use the Trump and Vance comedy show to take over and rule the New World.

trump has declared war on the world . . .lets make him pay . . .BIG TIME . . well done Canada .

I'm with Canada wholeheartedly. I apologize for this dumbfuckery, Mr. Trudeau. Every day, when I wake up, I wonder: Is he gone yet? That's my current wish. Trump accused Kamala Harris of wanting to bring the country to World War III, but is he, a FIVE-TIME DRAFT DODGER, who is itching to have blood and death at a global level, in his name. He is a shameful loser, and Putin's puppet.❤

Trump Vance Musk a Joke for this World. Split us more...lets go back to dark days...WE MUST WORK ALL TOGETHER THE WHOLE WORLD - AGAINST NOT WORKING.... HOW OFTEN IN 2000 YEARS STUPID MORONS MUST DO THE SAME SHIT AND HOPE FOR DIFFERENT OUTCOME - Take care, they wanna lower the values of companies, weaken them and then buy them cheap...tricky evil bad man Donald is. A friend of Putin, maybe Putin has something in his pocket against him...total unhuman.... pure world...thx US VOTERS wake up you vote for Devils of the Wallstreet

almost the whole world is laughing at us, I am now ashamed to be an American, my love for America is unfortunately being destroyed by a stupid government under Trump ?

Maybe they are planning something. Trump once remarked that Canada could become the U.S.'s 51st state, so perhaps he was considering a strategy to weaken the country as part of a long-term plan. He might have been looking for a justification to assert control over Canada. Additionally, his strategic support for Putin raises concerns. Trump also once suggested renaming the 'Gulf of Mexico' to the 'Gulf of America.' Considering all this, could we be on the brink of World War III?

TRUMP, MAKING Enemies all over the world...

Trump will raise over the world! Long live Trump! Take care of your land for us to have it! O/

Why are some commentators still talking about fentanyl & immigration as if it has anything to do with whats going on. a psychotic, narcissistic loon who hasn't the faintest clue about government, whose ambition is self enrichment and whose instincts are sel aggrandizement has been elected to the leadership of a country where his unique combination of idiocy, incompetence, insanity, deranged maliciousness and need to exact vengeance on those he feels failed to defer to him sufficiently (or just randomly, to assert himself) can do the most damage. Sure Trump is a fascist, but he's much, much worse: He is totally insane. What do the congressional Republicans tell their children, families and friends about why they're bowing to a clear and dangerous psychooath utterly devoid of human decency ? How do they explain their snivelling deference to a once in a millennia loonatic of these proportions. He's not only, obviously and blatantly imposing hardship on the most vulnerable Americans for personal gain, he is destroying US influence and respect globally. The rest of the world now see the US as a real and present danger. A pscho killer nation from whose derangement no one is safe. How long will this be tolerated; and how long before it occurs to Trump to drop a nuclear bomb on someone just to boost his ego? We aren't dealing with a rational mind, and RRepublicans need to be told that their 'king' went from a corporate tool to Caligula quicker than a Ferrari.

Trump is having an ego trip, doing crazy things just because he can…. And the rest of the world is either laughing, or worrying.

As a Kamala voter and as an American who loves Canada, I apologize for the hideous manner in which my government is treating our neighbor and ally. I will be protesting and doing what I can to stop Trump and Musk from destroying our democracy and our friendships around the world. I wish Canada all the prosperity and health possible in the future and I hope someday you will be able to forgive our nation for the damage that the idiots running this country are causing for you and many other of our allies as well, with their ignorant tariffs and bullying tactics. Someone needs to punch Trump in the nose, good and hard, so he knows that not everyone will back down when one acts like a pushy jerk. He is not a strong man, he is a lily livered, weak willed, draft dodger who just happened to be born to a wealthy father. Best of luck! We will miss you by our side . . . . ???☮

I stand with the World, I stand with the people of Canada, Mexico, China, Russia, kind people, helpless people who have no choice but to live in a country of dictatorship. I stand with Humanity ❤ I don't support Trump

I am Canadian and conservative. It is sad to see that the Western world can no longer see the US as a reliable and trustworthy ally. I hurt just writing this. I hope conservative Americans will wake up and see that they were mislead and that Trump is a dictator in the making.

trump wants to comtrol the whole world...! shame on him...!!!!!

Mind if we become a Canadian Province? Sounds like a much better thing for the world, than what Trump proposed.

Great speech, at last a Leader standing up to trump and his cronies. Canada needs you so a shame you are not continuing. As a born Brit but now an Aussie my husband and I applaud you. The Democratic world needs to stand up to trump and musk. Canadians are tough and just know that many of us are with you in spirit and wherever we live are not buying US products either. Go Canada ?? and the Canadians ?

I stand with Canada. Mr. Trump is a traitorous poison working for all intent and purposes for Vladimir Putin and as such, he is a major threat to the national security to this country, Canada, Europe and the world. He and his criminal administration must be removed before they cause the collapse of the west.

The world can go on without America, Trump and his MAGA supporters need to realize that. They be acting as if they are some kind of vital source of energy / resources when their #1 export is war & conflict.

Australia is with you Canada we know that Trump is a very sick man and not fit for office - And why is his speech been interrupted by these thugs - Other leaders from around the world need to do this bring Trump thug down and to be kicked out of office,

Trump is GAMBLING WITH WORLD WAR THREE

I am so proud of Canada. The rest of the world needs to step in here. Start putting tariffs on the United States and sanction Trump musk and any Republican that stands with them. Come on the world. The American people need a push to get rid of trump Canada. The true Americans love you guys

It has been less then 7 weeks and look at what Trump has already done... GTFO why you can Americans, it's a very good time to take an extremely long holiday!! \nThings are only gonna get worse, i can see the world turning away from the dollar and America's $36.22 TRILLION national debt becoming like the iceberg that sank the titanic, for the USA!

Canadian here. ??\nTrump forgot 9/11. When American airspace were all closed. We, Canada hosted thousands of crew and passengers with open arms. ❤ We are America’s friend, neighbour and closest ally. This hurts so deep. Please someone make this madness stop. How can one source of evil do so much harm and danger to all of humanity. At home in the US and abroad. His evil policies is affecting lives globally in every way - wars, disease, economic meltdown. World is f..king upside down! To all those who still live and support Trump. Wake the f..k up from your Trump Koolaid Coma before we all meet The End.

Trump is trolling the world very hard. \nEveryone keeps falling for it. We know his play: Distract. Distract. Distract. \nIt's all show and no go. But as before, in his last term, there is a time limit to his fecklessness.

I am American independent voter who vote against Treasonous Trump this past election of 2024 in favor of Kamala Harris. While many of my fellow Americans voted for Trump many others like me did not. Now so many good and event Americans are going to suffer because of many Maga or Maga supporting Americans who foolishly chose to support Trump and his lies. Any pain and suffering Anti Trump supporting Americans, along international American Allies and theuir people, suffer will be squarely on the shoulders of Maga and Maga supporting Americans.\n\nHow Trumps first term wasn’t a wake up call and eye opener to how terrible he was and is as president is beyond me. He, treasonous Trump, did nothing to help our economy which essentially stalled or went into generally neutral state with essentially no growth positively or negatively, followed by a near complete nose dive due to Treasonous Trump’s poor handling and equally poor response to the Covid-!9 Pandemic. How people could seemed to forget that Treasonous Trump, not Joe Biden, was responsible for the current sate of things following the pandemic is beyond me. \n\nMaga and Maga supporting Americans have been conned again by Treasonous Trump, who not only failed to properly respond to the Covid pandemic but also incited and or encouraged many of Maga supporters to essentially attack the US Capitol in hopes of stopping Joe Biden’s Presidential Certification. Those in the Inter national world are not alone in their condemnation of the disgrace and embarrassment that sis current US President Trump. True Americans who believe in our constitution and rule of law as decreed by the founding fathers of our nation must unfortunately bare part of the shame Maga America has brought upon our country as a whole.Truly good and decent Americans must bare the shame of now living in a country that much International world now no longer trusts and has lost respect for. For all the hateful Maga thinking and or supporting Americans there are as many truly good non maga Americans who want more peaceful relations with allies in the international world. Sadly because of Trump and his hate many must now unjustly suffer .

Is Trump trying to destabilise the world?
