When addressing Donald directly, I like how he slowed down, as if talking to a toddler :)

Hey “Donald” this is how a leader should act like.

I hope you be president of 51 state Australia because Australia have no balls for tariffs just obeying orders and bowing like dogs to they Master Donald

To the US nationals, how do you guys sit back and watch someone (Donald) destroying your country like this, and all are sitting quietly.......very strange, as an African, yall looks bewitched

Donald acts like a KGB sleeper agent who has just captured the USA. Destroying it from the inside!

As an American, this makes sense. We have always had a deficit with canada and Europe. Trump wants that to end, and America is always stronger on its own. As much as I like our neighbors in Canada, your government is trash and has been trashing your country. You guys need your own donald

I could not imagine that Donald Trump will fluently spoke like Justin Trudeau does. This is the way President should spoke. Good Lord what's happening to the U.S. Donald Trump screwed everything.

Great speech. And I like Melanie Joly struggling to keep it together after the comment about Donald being a smart guy.

Trudeau! Nobody likes you. You’re done. We want to vomit when you speak. You are a disgrace to this Country. You’ve ran our country into the gutter, killing hundreds of thousands of Canadian citizens with your reckless policies and corrupt agenda’s. Stop playing the victim you wounded narcissist. Canada deserves these tariffs. This is all on you. I pray daily that this country will be saved. The light keeps getting brighter as we inch closer to that election! Thank god for Pierre Poilievre!! And we love you Donald Trump!

breaking with long term democratic allies & weakening American institutions via his appointees . donald wants to become a dictator like putin, orban, xi, kim in order to escape legal problems left hanging before becoming potus.

Takes notes Donald! We need a president like this!

I do not like Trudeau at all, but I have never been more proud of something he said. Spot on! We will win against these unjust tariffs! Fuck Donald Trump

Well done, tariff wars are not the same as diplomacy. Consider this happened in the first DT administration and the US lost those exports contracts to Brazil who gladly took them. DT had to send farmers a bail out and this, well this will likely be worse. Hang in there border states. Well done Canada. Tsk, tsk 'Donald'. US citizens, become 'Indivisible'.

The close relationship between the US and Canada has ended. We have to do more than stop buying alcohol, much much more. This was never about fentenal Trump just wants to take over our country. He wants to be another Putin and yes he called him Donald, just like Trump called him in a demeaning way as Justin or Governor Trudeau. Payback is a bitch

I bet Donald is the king pin of fent….i can’t stand him. His name was on Jeffery’s list….? can’t believe ppl still like him after everything he’s done sigh….

6:51 “Donald” . Though I didn’t really like Trudeau, he deserves this standing ovation for the incredible speech. That’s how you send a message.

It looks like the best thing Trudeau could do is tell the world how bad he is got beat by President Donald Trump. A true leader would not shocase his defeat to the world, he would work harder until he triumphs; none of which is somthing that Trudea can do. Sad!

Donald Trump Elon Musk And JD Vance Are Putting Our Country In Big Danger They Don’t Care About Us It’s All About Money And It’s So Sad ? I Commend Canada For Standing Up For They Country Lord Knows We Need Someone Like You And PM Zelensky!?

Figured you'd be on CNN we don't need anything from Canada you need us thank you Donald Trump now maybe our country will start making everything we need like it used to be

Donald Duck acts accurately like a dictator but in disguise.

Donald trump running the u.s government like a business going bankruptcy

No bringing up of characters and groups like the Radical Left, Us and Them, Shifty Schiff, Crooked Hillary and no off topics and complaints about water pressure, toilettes and wind-mills. No self praising, no hating, no over the top BS promises! Donald Trump is just so stupid, and doesn't know what he is doing. If Donald Trump says that he knows what he is doing, then he needs to be impeached, because he's not doing anything good for America.

How many times Donald declared bankruptcy? Looks like under him his country will go bankrupt. He is becoming friends with Putin, who is everyone's enemy and turning his friends and allies into foes. I was happy when he came to power and now I am sad for everyone including the Americans.

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!

If you watch CNN ? you are part of the problem LOL check on WHO pays them to spin the narrative!\n\nWar? Dictator ? Those are some strong and exaggerated words. As a diplomat he should know better ? just protect the borders like a good neighbor and you won’t have any issues … I think the US will be ok. \n\nCanada ?? has been an open border, ask all your DoorDash and Uber drivers in the US where they are coming from !!!! They all say Canada… Indians, Turkish, Palestine, Hispanics… quit lying ?\n\nJust because he speaks gently doesn’t mean he ain’t full of ?\n\n“Donald” uhmm President Trump .. homeboy shows little respect … for the president the entire country chose.

I have never felt more proud to be a Canadian, it’s a good feeling, I was almost brought to tears earlier thinking about it. And it’s interesting to note that it is overriding the fear of the consequences of Donald’s actions. Here’s where I can’t help but think of you, our fellow North Americans. The good people of the USA, I hold you in my heart. For you don’t have that boost that comes from feeling proud of your country. I can’t say I’ve ever known what that is like. It seems it would leave you gutted, and lost. Can you even describe the feeling, the experience? It has to be one of those things that you can’t know until you experience it. The pride in my country is keeping me going. My heart is crushed thinking that you do not have that. But you need to do everything you can to keep it. It’s what the Donald and his cronies are counting on. Unfortunately, he does not care about you. He wants to crush you. He does not care about America and what it stands for. He only cares about himself. If you do not have the fight that comes from being proud of your country, you guys are gonna be easy pickings. Do everything you can to find pride in your country. We need you to fight. We need you at our side. We are with you. We will always be with you.

Well spoken Justin. A slap like this is what Donald the DUMB TRUMP needed.

Donald fixes the economy like a 5 yr old fixing a broken toy

Donald Trump is a big fake conservative. Never seen a conservative government behaving like this.

Does Russian spies on a nuclear submarines in our nuclear facilities things to Donald Trump right now they're trying to destroy us they're trying to kill us! We have to stand up we have to impeach Donald Trump and JD Vance and remove them to someone like Utah senator Mitch ‼️‼️‼️??????‼️???

Trudeau Speaking Intelligently. Donald and JD speak like baboons & ignorant fool talk

It's about money. Specifically Donald Trump getting as much money as possible from this term. Putin likely told him to make sure to distance America from its allies, so that he can use the USAs military gizmos to expand his mission to take over Ukraine amd any other country he wants. All this in exchange for making him and his cronies filthy rich. Trump keeps dropping clues about the plan. Elon, created Doge to weaken the economy even further so that the USAs assest are devalued and he can officially the US oligarchy. He's been in talks with Putin, we've seen them together. So now this Trump Gold card, is a way in for more oligarchs from Russia specifically to sweep up the remaining industries at a fraction of what they used to be valued. Then the USA will be the western arm of Putins empire. Since he made sure to obliterate all friendly relationships the US had with the western world, the other countries won't do anything to help the US so as to avoid all out war. Trump will then walk off into the sunset as one of the richest, if not the richest, man on earth.

Hats off to president Teasdale this is what a real president sounds like unlike the queen Donald Trump the first who's going to bring America to his knees ??

Dont be a weak bully Donald, be like Biff from Back to the Future.?

Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada were imposed as a reciprocal measure, matching the percentage that Canada had levied on U.S. goods. Given Canada’s economic and military reliance on the U.S., this retaliation is likely to impact Canada more significantly.

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.””

As an American I am ashamed to be associated with people like donald. I'm backing Canada all day.

I don't like Trudeau but he ripped Donald a new asshole with this speech

Americans take note. \nCanada has a small population. It is a trading nation. Canada does not pretend to other countries that it is a friend while behaving in treacherous ways. Your minions and hypocrites, Vice President James David Vance and Senator Lindsey Graham should also take note. \nCanada and the United States have been trading with each other for over 170 years. Circumstances and proximity made Canada rely on trading with its neighbour, the USA. In 2024, 75.9% of Canada's total exports went to the United States. \nWas it convenience or laziness that made it so, or Canadians’ trust in America being a fair partner? \nPresident Donald J Trump, you have insulted Canadians and the whole United States will harvest the consequences. \nYou had negotiated the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) calling USMCA the best deal, and recently you called your deal the worst deal. \nYou can be the Manchurian Candidate as much as you want. You seek to destroy Canada. Go ahead, do your worst. Keep being manipulated by the Putin and Musk of the world. \nThis is the last time you will use this closeness between Canada and the USA to hurt Canada this way. Does not matter how long it will take, Canada will diversify its trading practice to foolproof itself from future fools like you, elected to the oval office. \nNeighbours, Canadians will remain, there is no way of moving Canada to a different place on this planet’s map. Canada may remain an economic partner, but a close friend, you can forget it. \nThere is a motto on the licence plates of vehicles of Québec (in case you might not know Donald, it is a province of Canada, not part of your fantasy 51st state). Since 1978 the motto says: “Je me souviens”. In English it translates into “I remember”. Canadians will remember what America is doing to them.

And most Americans are just sleeping on it and believe it will make America great again. Donald Thump is trying to take USA as his own. He will rewrite the constitution to allow him to stay in power for many many years just like Putin and Xi Jipeng. He know well once he step down. He will be jailed due to his criminal cahrges. So he will stay in power for as long as he want now

Hey Canadians, on behalf of the good people in America... I apologize for the ignorance and stupidity of one EMBARRASSING excuse of a leader that is not only sticking it to Americans in every way you can think ... I refuse to call him a president because he is NOT... He is a convicted felon, convicted on 34 felonies. He is a fraudster, a cheater, a LIAR, a thief, and a THUG! He is not a legal president because he cheated to get elected in the first place because he cheated in 2016 by having his Russian friends interfer in our election by smearing, and launching the wikileaks ĺeak that She had emails from her secratary of state days on an unsecured computer at the DNC Hillary Clinton, merely weeks ahead of the 2016 election.\nTrump also incited a seditious insurection in 2020 after losing that election failing his attempted coup to sieze power in an election he LOST! Donald Trump and many of the GOP that ran for thier lives on Jan. 6th 2021 now refer to the insyrection as a peacful gathering of non violent protesters... Trump calls it the best day ever!!! Think about that for a minute! The very first order of business Trump did after his inauguration was to pardon 1500 crimina convicts that either plead guilty or were found guilty of charges like sedition. And insurectionists. Many of them for violent crimes like battery on a police officer. And other charges loke trespassing on a federal building, and theft charges for stealing laptops and all sorts of things.\nDonald Trumps first act was to free all of them with a wave of a pen... he freed police bashers!!! And scum bags like Elmer Rhoads, and leader of the proud boys Enrique Tarrio... and all tge violent punks that tried to overturn a free and fair election!!! I is disgusting! HE a k so pardoned the biggest drug dealer in America that catered to criminals and murderers, the owner and inventer of the silk roads dark web site.\nTrump is a Russian asset, make no mistake about it. And fir the last 40 days or so he set about to burning down all American institutions with the help of his Billionaire campaign donors that agreed to get him elected for MORE MONEY!!! Trump is turningvon our trusted allies all friends, and siding with countries like Russua, North Korea, Iran, Turkey, and other countries that are under the control of string men autocrats, and dictators! He publicly called our friend and ally Vlidomir Zelenskyy a dictator! While at the same time calling Vladimir Putin a genius, and a really smart guy that wants peace he says!\nVladimir Putin is the worlds most cold blooded mass murderer of our lifetime and he is a war criminal that kills mostly civilians, women and children deliberatly!!! He poisons his political opponents and business partners with plutonium and other ways like having them thrown out a high ruse window, or shit from the sky in an airplane!!!\nDonald Trump is a maniac that Ameruca needs to desperately get rid of before he finishes the job of burning down all our institutions and burning our constitution and democracy in order to turn Ameruca into an autocracy...\nSo, Canadians.... we Americans are deeply embarrassed and we apologize for the reckless behavior of one man!! One ignorant man... Donald Trump. There has never been a more shameful and embarrassing time to be an American! Eff Trump!!!

Our left and right leaning politicians in both sides of parliament in Australia are currently trying to stay out of this situation thinking that the mango Mussolini will respect us. But our population knows Donald is a putin arse licker and as soon as he turns his attention to Australia and treats us like Canadian brothers you'll find the USA lose allies tenfold.....as even countries like us trying to find middle ground will finally realise that therr is no middle ground... you're an enemy period ....go Canada ????

Why does it sound like Trudeau Is totally dumbing down his vocabulary for donald?????

Donald Trump, can you see what a real Prime minister sounds and looks like ? smart and classy ?

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

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

Trump extended his rudeness to all Canadians, like the country and citizens was no more than a backwater US state. Trudeau coulda referred to Trump as Donald Duck ‘da f*ck’ and it’s still more than a polite gesture in my book ?

This is leadership, devoid of self-interest, bigotry, cowardice, or division. It is hard to be misrepresented by “Donald”, who is desecrating what it means to be an American. Prime Minister Trudeau’s speech is inspirational and would fill me with fighting spirit if I were a Canadian. “Donald” contributed the divisions in our country and now he is isolating us from our allies. As Americans, we are stuck in a relationship with an over narcissist. Being American stays alive in every one of us who upholds the ideals of our country. A president is a civil servant, so he is our employee. He does not behave like an employee and as such, he should be fired. It is what “Donald” would do. ??‍♂️

All you so called americans sidingnwith Canada, where was that passion when Biden keep steeling your wealth and sending it abroad. At least Donald is fighting for America. We will be just fine and anoerfec time to produce ou own goods like we did before Clinton and Obama whonsold us out.
