The whole world watched live, when Trump lost his shit with President Zelensky the moment when VP VANCE started his attack on Zelensky by saying he hasn't said thankyou to America ,which is an absolute lie.\nAmericans are asking if President Trump is a Russian asset.\nTrump is 100 % a RUSSIAN ASSET . TRUMP WON HIS SECOND TERM BECAUSE ELON MUSK BOUGHT AND PAID FOR IT.\nBOTTOM LINE TRUMP IS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR BY MUSK AND OWNED BY RUSSIAN PRESIDENT PUTIN.\nTRUMP IS A TRAITOR AND DESERVES A TRAITORS SENTENCE.\nTrump is the ENEMY FROM WITHIN.

Trump is absolutely destroying America as the world knows it, if that tyrant is not reined in, the people will suffer immensely, this is nothing but a manufactured crisis used as a tactic to demonstrate their power, and then solve it and become the savior of the people. Trump is the symbol in which the ultra wealthy elite and the fascists have concentrated their efforts, he’s a puppet of that oligarchy and someone who is subjected to a very obscure tie to Putin. What kind of information does Putin hold to exert that amount of influence over Trump? It must be something bigger than Trump’s mere admiration of his autocratic power…

In typical narcissistic behaviour Putin is isolating America from her friends. Trump is stupid. He thinks he has a 'good' relationship with his best friend Putin.... but Putin will eat Trump for brekky & spit him out when he is of no further use. \nI'm in Australia & we are with you Canada & with Ukraine.

Do you believe this Canadian?? \nHe's all pissed off because he has to pay tariffs on his goods . \nThese countries are so used to getting away with murder, now that Trump put a stop to it , and they have to pay their tariffs, Trump is the bad guy ! \n\nAmerica pays tariffs when we export our goods, do you see us complain?? ...The nerve on this guy ! \nMake canada America 51 st state! \nIt's a good deal ! ????

If you want to stop Trump in his tracks, if you want to teach him a well deserved lesson, boycott all American products coming into Canada and every other country around the world. Stop selling products to America, and ban Americans from coming into your countries.\nIn less than a month or even less you will have Trump on his knees begging you all. You want the bullying to stop?\nStop the bully.

Trump is the EMEMY WITHIN. DESTROYING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FROM THE INSDE. \n49 YEARS AGO RUSSIA CREATED A PLAN TO GET A MAN INTO THE WHITEHOUSE TO DIVIDE AND DESTROY THE UNITED STATES FROM WITHIN. RUSSIAS PLAN WORKED. RUSSIA FOUND THEIR MAN. THE ENTIRE WORLD KNOWS EXACTLY WHO THAT MAN IS.\nA SHOWBIZ LYING COWARD CON MAN CALLED DONALD TRUMP.

Bravo, Trudeau! You really spelled it out to Trump's America.

Trudeau is an empty bag of wind.... His people HATE him. Not just a segment of Canada, ( like Trump, here in America ). Trudeau is a wanna-be strong man, without strength. Trudeau has abused his Canadian citizens. It's laughable that Trudeau wants to address Trump. No one's listening.

TRUMP IS UNFIT, UNQUALIFIED, AND VERY BAD FOR AMERICA! His Cabinet is ALL THE PROOF YOU NEED! His Administration Truly Are A BASKET OF DEPLORABLES UNWORTHY OF FREEDOM!

AS an AMerican and single mom self employed 57 year old woman in AMerica I don't want this either and didn't support Trump or his agenda. I am trapped here and suffering like so many and preparing for complete financial collapse at this point. So sorry Canada. We didnt want this either

Trump is up to no good. America is in trouble.

i bet trump is appalled at how united the countries citzens who is trying to bully are. After all in america if you have a opinion, whether political or not, that varies from another your either called a liberal or a replulican. Man trump is only speeding up ameirca's downfall

While it's insane and we are ALL going to feel this pain, I pray that Canada and Mexico do not back down from this orange pos!! Make Trump fall on his fat face trying to keep his daddy Putin happy! These countries are fighting back and bringing the facts - something Musk nor Trump will do! This is embarrassing for America on so many levels!

They aren’t “opponents” of Trump though… they are his “good friends”. He doesn’t want the allies America has always has. He wants Putin, he wants North Korea. Because they are the men he looks up to. He loves ego driven dictators. Because he is one. Also… this isn’t about fentanyl… that’s just the excuse he’s using. He wants to weaken relationships with allies. That’s obvious. He wants to appease Putin.

Trump must be working for Russia to ruin America and it's Allies. Wake up Americans and kick him out before it's too late. Australia is on your side Canada. We can supply any products you need and no tarrifs

Trump is the 1st Dictator in America.

Where are our past presidents? PResident OBama? PResident CLinton? President BIden? PResident BUsh? They still garner the title President. We need their collective wisdom and non-partisan leadership to intercess and stand up to the TREASONOUS machinations of Trump. OUR DEMOCRACY IS IN PERIL….Canada is our friend and confidant. TRUMP IS GUILTY OF TREASON! He is single handedly dismantling decades of peace, goodwill, friiendship and above all SAFETY with our French Canadian neighbors. America is in serious trouble. CNN a you have a responsibility to use your far reaching platform to seek out the opiNions and diplomatic aid of our surviving better presidents. They possess the hardwon wisdom and experience to engage with world leaders and our senators…..\nPlease take a stand. These are scary moments. TRUMP IS GUILTY OF TREASON!\nHELP! SOS! ⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓

Make America great again, Trump

TRUMP CRUMP IS DYING SICK AND FULL OF DISEASE!! GUTTER TRASH TRUMP IS TAKING AMERICA TO HELL WITH HIM. GET HIS MEDICAL RECORDS AND SEE HE IS DYING

I'm an America veteran and retired teacher...I didn't vote, endorse, promote anything the felon and insurgent Donald tRump has done, to the contrary, I am an independent progressive. The words spoken here ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. My views are not based in politics, but in common sense. I am just one, but I do not support this insane administration.

I'm from France and I stand with Canada ❤ America has always been our biggest allies, but unfortunately it looks like Trump is a disguised agent for Russia's interests

Prime Minister Trudeau when you start out your speech please stat half of America wants to have a trade war with us: because the other half of Americans does not want to have a trade war with Canada. I have been to Canada a hundred times in my lifetime since I live close to the Canadian border and I've always respected Canadian sovereignty also, that Canadian is our best partner and friend. Keep calling out TRAITOR TRUMP, the MAGA ACOLYTES and the so-called Republican party GOP that PLACE Putin over Canada. I don't know what Putin has over TRAITOR TRUMP or how much vested interest TRAITOR TRUMP is getting from Putin. The Canadian border is the largest undefended border in the world. To our mutual friends sorryl about this AUTOCRAT.

Make America great again, Trump

I never realized how many idiots live in America until trump started running for office. Trump ran his whole campaign on tariffs

As well spoken and incredibly sensible this information is; Trump and his cabinet members are the most ignorant , stupid, arrogant, and dishonest people I have seen with the exception of Hitler and Putin..........America is going to suffer for electing this degenerate

Don’t be surprised Trump is trying to force his allies into a position where he will ‘claim’ they’re a danger to the US, so he can convince he owned and controlled political party and goons to ‘defend ‘ America and justify a war on those countries to gain control of their territories :(

PEOPLE OF THE WORLD.\n\nHalf of AMERICA voted AGAINST the orange clown. WE DESPISE TRUMP.

As we’ve always said Trump does not care about the American people or his country! He only wanted the presidency as a get out of jail free card! He doesn’t care about anybody his ego tells him he only wants the power of a dictator and be friends with dictators and to rule like a king! God help you America you definitely have made the wrong choice! Your president is doing Putins bidding

While a belligerent Atlanticist imperialism is becoming a thing of the past, in the meantime; asserting that Zelensky does not want peace and thereby implying that America does want peace is classic Trump spin. What America really wants is victory over Russia and eventually China. Having failed against Russia using Ukraine as it's proxy army, a Trump administration discards Zelensky's Ukraine while cleverly deceiving most observers that Zelensky is the only one interested in continuing the war. Contemporary Atlanticist imperialism in the form of a Tump administration is deliberately and deceptively stepping back from it's Ukraine project to prepare it's next - albeit doomed to fail; project aimed at victory over Russia and eventually China.

These comments are disappointing. All these Americans standing with other countries smh. Go live there! Nobody is forcing you to stay in America. Why don’t you actually start trying to help OUR country be better INSTEAD OF COUNTRIES!!! How can so many people LOVE that OUR taxes go to non Americans?. Or lining the pockets of the very politicians you all are listening to? Make it make sense. Oh wait, it all makes sense when you all have TDS. The elections are OVERRRRR, how are democrats going to survive the next 4 years? This is just getting started & as you can see, Trump always gets what he wants. No more sleepy joe & kackling kamala. Soon enough NO MO Trudeau!

There is only one angle where Trump’s actions make any sense, and that is if he is intended on sinking America. On any other angle he is either stupid or ignorant. Take a pick.

Stop all oil exports. See how fast this tariff shit lasts. And then only give us oil if Trump stops effing with America and restores all the things that America was before he destroyed it all.

As an American, I am appalled by Trump’s actions. I, for one, agree that his reasons for imposing tariffs is a lie. I strongly disagree with his blatant disregard for America’s allies. There is NO justification for aligning the US with Putin. If he thinks Putin has our interests in mind, he is crazy! Before it’s too late, I hope that his cabinet, the house, and senate realize that they can no longer support a president who does not support our interests as a country.

Respect to Trudeau - even though he felt obliged to flatter 'Donald' a bit. \nForget about fentanyl - who will save America from the scourge of trump ?

Trump has declared war on liberal democracy in America and around the world.

I'm Canadian and I highly dislike Trudeau. But he is correct when he asks how do you negotiate with someone who wants to annex your country? I would suppose Trump supporters would have no problems with a hostile and aggressive foreign property developer targeting their homes. The world needs a strong America but you have lost your way. I fear the world is in for dark times

Trumps own words, “Vote for me, you will never have to vote again!” \nThis one is showing up on several pages. Make up your own mind. \nThere is something rancid in America, a slow, creeping rot that smells like cold McDonald’s fries, aerosol hairspray, and the unmistakable musk of a country too sedated to recognize its own hostage situation. For years, the idea that Donald Trump was compromised by Russia was dismissed as paranoid fantasy—just another wild-eyed conspiracy theory, another overblown headline in the endless saga of American political dysfunction. \nBut now, two former Soviet intelligence officers—Alnur Mussayev and Yuri Shvets—are saying it outright: Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987, groomed as an asset, and remains under Russian control to this day. \nAnd the worst part? He’s already back in the White House. \nThat’s right, America. You did it. You walked face-first into the banana peel of history, slipped, and fell straight into the arms of Vladimir Putin. Trump was kicked out in 2020, spent four years plotting his comeback, and now he’s returned, like a bloated, orange cockroach that just won’t die. The Kremlin’s favorite stooge is running the country again, and this time, he knows exactly how to stay in power. \nIf you think this is just another round of the Trump Show, you’re not paying attention. This isn’t politics anymore. This is treason. This is foreign subversion. This is a God forsaken coup in slow motion. \nLet’s break it down, nice and simple. \nAlnur Mussayev isn’t some Twitter conspiracy theorist with a tinfoil hat and a podcast. He’s the former head of Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee, which means he knows exactly how Russian intelligence works—because he was part of the system. And what he’s saying should make every American’s blood run cold. \nAccording to Mussayev, Trump was identified, recruited, and compromised by the KGB in 1987 during his first trip to Moscow. They saw him for what he was: a narcissistic, greedy, attention-starved buffoon who could be easily manipulated. The KGB flattered him, promised him business deals, and planted the seeds of political ambition in his empty little head. And from that moment on, he was their man. \nBut Mussayev isn’t alone. Former KGB major Yuri Shvets said the exact same thing in 2021: Trump was cultivated by Soviet intelligence because he was an easy mark—too stupid to realize he was being played, too egotistical to care. They saw him as a useful idiot—a man who could one day be nudged into power, a walking, talking Trojan Horse for Russian interests. \nAnd now? The plan has worked. Trump spent four years in office weakening America from within, got booted out, and now he’s back for round two. \nIf you had told the American public in 1962 that a Soviet-backed asset would one day sit in the White House, they would have burned Washington to the ground before letting it happen. But today? Nobody seems to care. \nThe media treats this like just another wacky subplot in the never-ending Trump reality show. Congress is too busy fighting over meaningless culture war nonsense to do anything about it. And the American public? Exhausted. Numb. Checked out. Years of scandals—Russia collusion, Ukraine blackmail, classified documents, tax fraud, sexual assault, an attempted coup—have fried the country’s brain like an overcooked steak at Mar-a-Lago. \nTrump has done the impossible. He has committed so many crimes, so openly, so brazenly, that none of them matter anymore. \nAnd now, with Mussayev’s revelation that Trump is an active foreign asset, we have finally reached the point where the biggest political scandal in American history is met with a collective shrug. \nThis is how democracy dies—not with a bang, but with a goddamn eye-roll. \nThis is the part where the skeptics start clutching their pearls. “Oh, come on,” they say. “If Trump were really a Russian asset, wouldn’t there be more proof?” \nTo which I say: Are you blind, or just willfully stupid? \nLet’s go through the evidence, shall we? \nTrump spent his entire first term doing exactly what Russia wanted. He attacked NATO, calling it “obsolete” and threatening to pull the U.S. out. He tried to blackmail Ukraine into manufacturing dirt on Joe Biden, because weakening Ukraine helps one man and one man only: Vladimir Putin. He pulled U.S. troops out of Syria, handing power over to Russian forces. He picked fights with Canada and Europe while cozying up to dictators. \nEven now, in his second term, he is more openly pro-Putin than ever. He has made it clear that he will not protect NATO allies from Russian aggression. He is actively dismantling America’s alliances, just as Russia planned. And while Americans scream at each other over whether Target should sell rainbow t-shirts, Trump is quietly selling the country to the Kremlin. \nAt some point, you have to stop calling it a coincidence and start calling it what it is: treason. \nThe United States is running out of time. If Trump serves out this term without being removed, America as a functioning democracy is finished. \nThe media needs to wake up. Enough with the “Trump fatigue” excuse. This is not just another scandal—this is the single greatest infiltration of American power in history. Journalists need to dig into Mussayev’s claims, demand declassification of intelligence files, and treat this like the national emergency that it is. \nCongress needs to subpoena Mussayev immediately. His testimony must be public, and every document he has should be reviewed. If there is proof that Trump has been compromised since the 1980s, the American people need to know. \nThe Justice Department needs to stop pretending that Trump is just another politician. If there is evidence that the sitting president of the United States is working in Russia’s interests, he must be removed from office and prosecuted for espionage. \nAnd the American public? You have one last chance. This is not about Republican vs. Democrat. This is not about taxes, gas prices, or whatever nonsense outrage is dominating the news today. This is about whether the United States remains a sovereign nation, or if we spend the rest of the century as a Russian client state with a golf course. \nThe sheer volume of Trump's corruption, the blatant nature of his crimes, the mountain of evidence that should have ended his political career a hundred times over—none of it mattered. He survived it all, not because he was innocent, but because he drowned the country in so much scandal that nothing stuck. \nBut this time, it’s different. If Mussayev and Shvets are right, this isn’t just another chapter in the endless Trump circus. This is the culmination of a decades-long Russian intelligence operation to install an asset in the White House. \nThere is no coming back from this. If America lets Trump serve out this term without removing him, then the United States as a democratic republic is finished. The country won’t collapse overnight. There won’t be tanks in the streets. Instead, the destruction of democracy will happen in slow motion—buried under lawsuits, propaganda, and corruption so blatant that people stop caring. \nIf America lets this happen—if Trump is allowed to complete his mission—then Putin wins. The West crumbles. And the people who could have stopped it will look back, years from now, and wonder how they let it happen. \nGood night, and good luck. Because if people don’t wake up, America is going to sleepwalk straight into its own funeral.

Trump is America's new Mikhail Gorbachev.

Trump is going to destroy America's reputation and alienate it from the rest of the western world. He is quite simply a moron with zero political knowledge. Putins little puppet

Trump is trying to destroy our country and cause Americans harm. He couldn't care less about us or America.

when are all of you sheepeople going to realize that this media is offering only propagandized information. and their newscaster’s probably don’t even realize what they’ve been sold. That's why they’re so good at 4:38 selling us that garbage. I think it was Clinton that legalized us being propagandized. this man was shamed out of his Prime Minister position. he’s no friend to Canada and certainly not a friend to America. he’s been bought off and I’m sure he comes with a high price tag??????\nThe swamp is an ugly place. Maybe it takes an ugly acting man to clean it up. Go Trump! \nI’m turning off the fake news, it’s such a turn off the way they insult our intelligence. Wake up people!

America is not making any friends first Trumps support for Putin, then tarriffs on his closest friends and allies.

With all the BS from the Trump administration, America doesn't need any extra fertilizer coming from abroad

The UK stands with Canada side by side, it breaks my heart that America is no longer a friend. F*** Trump

He speaks with such professionalism unlike America’s leader. He does not make it about himself like Trump does, he does not gloat fear monger the people. Dang can we elect him for here too? ?

America didn’t do this, Trump did. Those 2 aren’t the same thing.

Wow, Trump is good. Shook Canada to listen and work now. I am sure he has their attention, and an a few weeks, he will fix these tariffs. The point here is he is not playing any games with the world and he is putting America first best to work with then against America.

Get ready for this country's name change to United States to North America since it's going to a dictatorship direction. The boarders aren't to keep immigrants out. It's to keep us from escaping, putting us in the same situation as North Korea. I also don't put it past that fentanyl is being supplied by the U.S. government the same way the CIA did it in contra-crack. Ladies and gentlemen we are going to be in a civil war soon because of this man and his group. Trump's presidency must end quickly.

That's a great speach by Prime-Minister of Canada.\n\nTrump made a mistake to start trade war against friends. Russia is a foe of the US, but Trump loves Putin. Why Donald stays his feelings on the top instead America, Freedom and Democracy???

Looking in from the out side I applaud Trudeau on his speech. But........ Canada needs the USA more than the USA needs Canada. Trump is who the United States elected by a majority. No games..... no fraud..... He IS THE Average large pickup driving, loud and rude American. He Is America and the rest of the world needs to take note.\n\n To be fair, in historical terms, the USA was created to be isolated and different than Europe. They went to War to become an independent country away from Europe. This whole idea that they follow Europe everywhere is only a small blip in history since WW2, they were never set up to be that.\n\n If Anything, the rest of the world should see there mistake in becoming so dependent on the USA. You should never put that much faith and trust in just one country.
