Love him or hate him, this was great and what a master class level troll. \n1. No reference to “president” \n2. Called him Donald, which trump hates\n3. Said what he was doing was dumb\n4. Spoke in super simple language - notice how he dummied right down when addressing trump

As a Canadian I don't like PM Trudeau but he is bang on about tariffs harming everyone and this speech here is fire ? This is going to end badly for Trump just like it did in his first presidency because it will hurt American's economically, and eventually they will push back against Trump. Love that he calls him Donald, not president Trump...LOL.

Stay honest and true in every way you can. Character really is destiny. I love my country but we are under siege by our own government, a group of sycophantic grifters who do not possess the wisdom, experience nor the disciplined intelligence to fulfill the duties their positions require. I stand with Canada and admire Mr. Trudeau for being willing to call out Donald Trump and address us Americans directly. Yes, we will all pay for this stupidity—except of course the MAGA elite.

I loved this! Way to go! This is how President should speak. I do like that he called him Donald. That is going to poke the orange bear, but i loved it!

DONALD ?…. he called him DONALD like the child that DONALD is???. Love it !!!

Sad American here... You go, Trudeau! I'm with you and Canada! Also love that you called Donald out directly! Trudeau, you are a true leader! Hot stuff! America is totally fucked. I'm so sorry, Canada.

Love how he calls the orange buffoon, Donald.

Love he calls him Donald!!!!!! Kinda snarky but love it!!!!!!❤

I LOVE that he keeps calling him “Donald” (I hear donny hates that).

I just moved from my California home state for the second, but just to let you know Canada i'm with you!! This trade war with these countries, are ridiculous but only to line, and continue to line the pockets of billionaires like Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and the tech family..... Trump has tried to stay close to Putin, but no one asks why?? We're not at war with Russia? He's been wanting the wealth Putn has every since he, and his wife visited in 1983.. He loves their minerals, and i ask President Zenlensky, if he signs that mineral agreement be careful how it's worded!!! J D Vance had know right to speak to Zelensky in that manner!! Trump, needed an education in government before he ran for any office, it's laws, etc... he's embarrassing when he speaks, calling other government officers stupid, and the like, like a child in school!! Why doesn't someone fact check Donald Trump vs Joe Biden with the things he's done vs the things Donald did while in office, as Biden knowing the law vs Trump as what he could do as a US President, not running this country like he runs his business!! I'm Georgia now, and still wouldn't voted for that man....!!!

Love the way Justin calls him Donald!!! Go Canada !! Love and great respect from Australia we stand with you!

More people dislike tradeau than love president trump and that is hard to do it's funny how another leader disrespected America calling our president Donald tradeau take care of our state up there

I LOVE that he called him Donald and not Mr President. He's addressing him with condescending tone

I love how he called him Donald. Donald Duck - quack.

Love how Trudeau called him Donald. Wonder ? how Trump supporters are defending their Messiah now?

Great speech Prime Minister. Thank you. And Donald does not deserve to be called President or even the respect to be called Mr. Trump. He is not. He is a Bully. I am glad you called him Donald. I am sure a lot of people have another name for him right now. I am a proud Canadian. I do not blame the American people. Just those who put Donald in power and those who work with him and support him. I love the US and hope and pray we will get through this together.

I love how Trudeau just calls him Donald.

I love how he just called him 'DONALD'!!!! ...no mention of President!!! ?????????

I loved the way you called him donald

An ex-KGB chief: “In 1987 I worked in… the KGB of the USSR in Moscow… our department recruited the 40 year-old businessman from the USA, Donald Trump, nicknamed “Krasnov”. That’s when Trump starts buying full-page ads attacking NATO. “Putin is doing a great job of outsmarting our country.” He says. Steele report: Russian operatives gathered damaging video evidence of perverted sex acts of presidential candidate in 2013, for blackmail. Mueller said “There were multiple, systematic efforts to interfere in our election.” Trump campaign had more than 140 contacts with Russian operatives, and Trump attempted to obstruct justice at least ten times. Campaign chair lied about then finally admitted to sharing info with Russian spy. Trump, ignoring US intelligence said: “…Putin, he just said it wasn’t Russia. I will say this, I don’t see any reason why it would be.” Secret meeting in Trump Tower with Russkies. Jared attempts to set up secret back channel to Russia in the Russian embassy. Trump to NATO member on prospect of Russian attack on their country “In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.” Trump: “If Putin likes Donald Trump… That’s called an asset…” Yeah, a Russian asset. FBI chief Kash Patel was paid $25,000 to appear in anti-FBI video by Russian backers. “The love in the air, I’ve never seen anything like it” Trump said of January 6 rioters, some of them cop-killers… “Russia if you’re listening…” “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily…” Yes, they own a seditious, treasonous felonious American president. All allegedly…

I love that he called him Donald and not President.

Didnt even call him President, just Donald LMAO!! I love angry yet polite Trudeau ❤

Lol\nI love that Trudeau has to call Trump smart but this particular action stupid.\nIn the meantime, he knows just as well as everybody that Trump is an idiot. Little Donald isn‘t smart, Little Donald is a moron.

SLAVA UKRAINE I just read many other comments and I see one similarity to all of them. It is exactly the atmosphere of Germany after the FIRST so called world war. Donald Trump is clearly Hitler, he has all the answers. He is obviously the man to turn it around, NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT!!! I keep hoping and praying for the day TRUTH AND LOVE reigns. I am a conservative and I would share the name of a beautiful being with the name Rachel Corpus in West Des Moines, Iowa. I have never met her, except for online, but I believe her and love her. I will never meet her. SLAVA HEROYI
