Trump is a mad man that has used good Americans as tools. They've been played.

Well said Trudeau...Trump is borderline madness...and tipping fast.

Ok wow i usually don't get mad about this stuff but damn if our President isn't a total dumb@ss. To do this to Canada our friend and partner and to pull this crap. WOW You suck Trump.

Trump and the oligarchs aim is trying to destroy our country. They are tearing our country apart, by musk firing millions of workers and shutting down all our agencies. The people need to rise up in the millions to stop this madness.

Trump is deliberately tearing the USA down, it's madness.

Jesus Christ trump is speaking for all of us who know this is absolute madness fuk I hate him

There is only one way to end this madness. Trump has got to go. Hopefully the American congress will wake up and do their job.

All this is cause by a puppet who is a convicted felon criminal we call our president....Could it get worse?absolutely impeach D*ck Stain Donald Trump and arrest and deport Elon Musk for being a POS billionaire and human being...MAGA SHIT ? God help us all from this madness

Make it make sense Trump got the whole world mad at us.

Trump was never going to play along because his bestie over in Russia has already persuaded him to stay sweet and ignore everyone else.. Trump is also mad that everyone else gathered to support Zelenskyy and he hates that comradery because it hurt his ego.. DT will probably pull away from England, France and others that were at the Summit meeting because he's a man child that has a fragile ego. I am pleased to say however that at least everyone is seeing the so called christian man's true colours.. he's a modern day Hananiah of the bible.. a modern day Nebuchadnezzar.. who is ruled by the love of money, nothing else!

Trudeau is mad because this all happened on his watch.\n\nTrudeau is a fascist rotten dictator himself. And no less a narcissist than Trump, or Putin.

Excellent reporting. I was beginning to worry that your average American was all for this madness. AND wonder if Putin has some sort of hold or is blackmailing Trump….

Im English, what a fantastic understandable speech. Trump has gone mad, a lot of people will start turning against him, especially him siding with putin the murderous dictator in modern times. All people in power should stand united in a crazy world. Well done canada and their superb leader.

Donald Trump isolates the US from all it’s allies. Leaving the world stage to its enemies. It is madness

I hope Canadians know that only 77 million people voted for Trump in a country of 335 million people!! That means 76% of us DO NOT support his madness!! Apologies to Canada & ALL of our allies!! Trump is a RUSSIAN asset & asshat!!!! We have been infiltrated.

I hate that one man can take control of our country and represent us as a whole. I do not side with trump and im so mad to see what he is doing

America got one big madness President at the White House. We believe he already open the Bank of America to receive 25 percent from Canada ?? , 25 percent from Mexico ?? and another 10 percent from China ??. These tariffs (taxes) are for US government work? Trump is that Federal government himself. Gurrentee the prices will go up .Trump does care about the poor but himself. This is very bad for partnership with Canada? Trau speak the truth

The American people don't want tariffs on no country, this is unfair and we all will suffer for this stupid plan,this is Trumps plan and uncalled for. I am disgusted with Trump siding with Putin and Russia ,he has sold out the American people and Trump and Musk has siding with Putin. Wake up America and protest against these tariffs ,I am disgusted with Trump, please stand up to secure our democracy. I am mad and disgusted.

It’s only a theory but could all this Trump madness be down to Putin.\nWhat has the Russian dictator got on Trump? …\n… and what price will Americans and the “free world” pay?\n???

So many of us did not vote for Trump or agree with his tactics. The election was stolen. Hopefully this will come out soon and end this madness.

We are ashamed of the current government and mad at half of the country that voted for the orange head! Apologies on behalf of the USA. We stand with Canada and Ukraine, not Trump!

As an American im proud of trump standing up for us and no longer allowong us to get taken advantage of. Countries are mad that they have to pay more instead, of expecting us to pay for them. Too bad, so sad. Us paying part of everyones share HAS been hurting us. The other country will just feel the pain as well instea dof feeling peace as we pay their price.

trump is mad that melania is all over tudeaus tip

I'm so jealous of Canada rn. They have a competent leader. This is insane that tRump keeps attacking our ALLIES AND SIDING WITH FCKIN RUSSIA AND NORTH KOREA!! I'm disgusted at the people who voted for this bafoon and our government and the Republicans who won't find a damn backbone and save our country from this evil pos. I can't be mad at Trudeau or Canada, were fully in the wrong. & The way he's placating trump at the end is hilarious cause he knows being fully honest will make trump the pentulent toddler have a big tantrum. Someone help us. Y'all just couldn't let Kamala win. We would be in much better hands. Y'all suck. As an American I absolutely stand w Canada! Trump is wrong!!!

Trump and MAGAism won't last for ever. The real problem is that the longer this madness continues, the longer the US will take to get back it's power and influence. The rest of the world understands that the problem comes from an incapable and illiterate leader but it also understands that this could happen again. America might take decades to regain trust. The longer MAGA dominates the American people then the longer it will take America to rise back to it's former status. It is so very tragic. When America rises from the fire, and it will rise , it will be a phoenix of pride and right, but it will be a proud and righteous bird with one wing.

Leaders like Trudeau gives me hope that the madness of Trump and his gang will not prevail...

Now that's speaking common sense. Thank you for speaking directly to many Americans who know Trump's actions are madness.

Trump has to be leashed. Congress must act! Stop this madness! Go Canada!

trump is a vile dictator and is siding with a violent invader. in a different time he would be hitlers ally! thank fuck most of that generation is no longer here to witness this madness.

the comparison of listening to trudeau (whatever you might or might not think of him) and then listening to trump is like taking the comparison of a child being mad and a relaxed adult and exagerating it to comic like extremes.

As a millennial, a woman, a teacher and a US citizen, I have never seen the rise of stupidity and fundamentalism as I see with Trump and the Republican Party in general these days. It’s a cult manifesting in mass histeria and madness. The worst part is the world is watching and the stain and bitterness linger.

Canada should immediately order total blockade the border and reject all goods coming to Canada from USA and ask all Canadian not going to USA from now until further notice to force Trump Tariff to crack down! At the same time call each province to mobilize to prepare for actual war to star conscription because Trump may invade Canada like Hitler had done in Europe before! He is actually mad in mind now!

Trump isn’t the President we Democrats voted for the first time or this last time, and he’s lied to his Republican Constituents and they’re mad! They’ll vote with us in the midterms, but until then Trump must be Impeached! Impeached! Impeached! Vance must be Impeached! Impeached! Impeached!

Trudeau is mad because Trump is not letting his kind play in women sports anymore..??????????

Well done Canada. Trump and his sidekicks - madness personified.

Trump won't be mad. Trudeau is in a suit!

Respect! I think Trudeau speaks plainly about the madness of the latest tariffs. I'm pleased that he speech was measured and polite. And how he spoke directly to people in the USA, dismissing the totally unjustifiable reasons Trump has made for implementing the tariffs.

From Europe: Great speech of Trudeau! One can only hope that Americans get rid of Trump‘s madness somehow.

FrommGermany: Great speech of Trudeau ohne can only hope that it is being heard. One can only hope that Americans get rid of Trump‘s madness somehow.

This Trump madness has to stop, he is turning the US into a rogue state with no compassion or decency!

I wish Trudeau was our president. I hate what is happening in the U.S. because of Trump and his minions. Putin must be gleeful at the destruction of the U.S. and all of the favors that Trump has given to him. The American people do not want this horror show that Trump and Musk has orchestrated. The Trump cult is bringing the downfall of America in the world. We are no longer the 'home of the free and the brave', and Trump is no longer the 'leader of the free world'. America will diminish and become a small, petty, stupid, country. I am glad for Trudeau, and Micron, and the UK and all of the democratic countries and people. I feel horrible for what is happening to Ukraine because of Trump. Mr. Trudeau, you are a fine and wonderful person and head of your country. I wish that you could help us out of this madness. :(

American here who is MAD AS HELL at dirty, filthy trump!! Hit the switch, Canada! TURN OFF THE POWER. BOYCOTT ALL AMERICAN PRODUCTS. JACK UP THE TARRIFS. Economic pain is, unfortunately, all that the average dumbed-downed MAGA Americans understand.

Los Angeles here. Mad props to Trudeau and this speech. Such a shame the American people have to suffer. Can’t stand Trump and the current administration. Bunch of bullies. Thank you for this honest, well-said speech. Bravo to Trudeau and Canada!

Got to consider if Trump is doing this to empower Russia and ultimately China. Something serious is about to happen which one single crazy has the power to start which is mad in a so called democracy society.

Donald Trump is a mad dog ?....

Americans have one last chance in the 2026 Mid Terms to put a check on Trumps MAGA madness. There are two maybe three special Congressional district elections between now & then.

From Germany: We stand with Canada. I hope Canada and Europe together can do enough against the madness of Trump and his buddys.

As an European, I hope that Europe and Canada work together to counter the childish madness of Trump and his sycophants.

Don't get mad, but TRUMP IS CORRECT\nwe gotta think of ourselves first \nBesides, you guys are doing fine\n\nWe have to clean house first
