Calling Putin a lying, murderous dictator is amazing.

Donald has more allegiance to Putin, a well known dictator, murderer and war criminal, than his 'closest' allies across the world. JD Vance is a political gangster who undermines and bullies people, someone who is quite frankly, completely out of their depth and incompetent, What a shambles America is right now, and I thought the UK was in bad shape. The American people should be very ashamed.

Trump has destroyed trust in US allies, and it can ont be repaired easy. Trust can be destroyed in minutes, but it takes many years, maybe decades, before it can be gained again. It affects not only what US experiences right now with Canada and Mexico. Be sure that even Taiwan Australia and all other Asian allies are questioning right now if USA can be trusted. Imagine, Trumps breaks a treaty with Canada and Mexico which he personally has established in his first presidency and sold to his people as the greatest deal that has ever been archieved. Tells you a lot about US credebility. Trump is right now destroing world order which has been established mainly by USA after WW2.\nI heared, that there are rumors, that Trump might be a Russian KGB agent since 1987. I don't know if that is true, but it would explain a lot of why Trump is acting as he does - it is not in the interest of USA, pressurizing/blackmailing/offending/humiliating US allies and destroying US and foreign economies. This is practically enacting a wishlist of foreign dictators like Putin and Xi Chin Ping.\nIt certainly will not make America great again, but poorer, weaker and internationally isolated. it will be US people that will suffer the most.

The only dictator is Trudeau!

He called pootin a murderous dictator. Why don't more world leaders do this?

Amd calling trump a dictator when this guy literally took away yall freedom of speech in part is crazy

The racist and the racist whites and blacks and all other racist in the United States voted for this guy and corrupted their friends who were innocent and didn’t know who to follow brainwashed them to vote for dump trump and you see the things he do and being good friends with Putin and the United States are stuck with him for another 3-4 years that’s how bad it is in most parts of America welcome to corrupt freedom and there it is but hello to our friends who still stand for democracy and the real presidents that run the country the right way we still follow behind you Obama Biden Kamala Harris and the other Democrats and not delusional republicans to stand against dictators and evil corrupt officials and evil corrupt people in this world! ???????????????????????????????????????? ??????

Canada should seek complete Free Trade with the UK, EU and other allies. We can no longer work with this new US Dictator.

The world watched trump put a desperate man willing to protect his country. The world is watching trump cozy up to russia’s dictator. The ramifications are showing, slowly but surely.\n\nUS’s dominance is nulled. The real losers are its people.

Trudeau...Mr. Dictator......call parliament back and call an election. You have destroyed our economy. You!!!

President trump just did a huge achievement, US president is not any more the leader of the free world, US is not anymore in the free world leadership, broken 100 years of friendship and alliance. \nHuge achievement endeed!!, now US is on the side of Putin, a criminal dictator, who is being supported by China, North Korea and Belorussia.

fu***king dictator putin threating nuke use to peace loving world people!!! so, have his right to live in this world#

trudeau is proven a back stabber in many diplomacy. canada is never a fair country but slave to US master. They obey all US demands even has fake democracy. Under US order, canada imprisoned or held anyone who are innocent and has nothing against canadian law. trudeau isnt polite but too rude with calling other murderous dictator when he is also a real proven dictator. Has he forgotten canada has murdered, colonize, terrorize, destroy, plunder, rob, bullt, gangster other countries too with US master. Shame on trudeau incompetence and still talk rubbish till today.

From Germany - Nobody want´s this. Nobody want´s dictators. RISE UP Americans. FCK Fonald Dump

As a Brazilian this final season of earth is stressing me the f out, billionaires should not be allowed to exist nor intervene politically, old felon lunatics should not be allowed into the government either, fascism should be a crime, we are doing everything wrong, geez, if these crazy dictators don't end the world, nature will end it anyways, it's unbelievable.

American dictators must have to know occupation will not be delicious! Ask your good friend Putin? How occupation delicious???

Donald is behaving as an KGB agent or trying to duplicate what other dictators are doing.\nEU is with Canada and this will only strenghten our cooperation.

Calling Putin lying, murderous dictator? Why Canada do not declare war to Russia?

Make no mistake, Trudeau Liberals have been detroying Canadian's way of life far more than Trump could do. He is a liar and wanna be dictator. We need Federal Election Now!

Arguments doesn't work, trump knows what he is doing, but he doesn't care. He wants to become a Dictator! He likes Putin! You only can act very strong and doesn't think it helps if you be nice to him. He is a psychopath! He wants to hurt everyone than he feels strong.

Justin is the best! America stabs allies in the back and deal with russian dictator. Do americans agree????

This is a real leader. This is a great speech. Trudeau is a lot nicer than I am. Donald you are a bully racist criminal who idolizes dictators. When Zelensky was bullied about his clothes and kicked out of the white house, this is the first day I am embarrassed to be American.

you call Putin a lying ,murderous dictator but Neytanyahu the prime minister of Israel who is committing a genocide is an angel .What a joke .An advice look after Canadians because what you have done to this beautiful country is mind blowing and pretty sad .

I'm English, I don't know that Canada has any enemies around the world to be honest. The US is trying to control any neighbouring land and building a wall around itself in exactly the way Russia did. Look how quickly Trump has made all these changed. He aligns himself with Dictators and attacks his friends. Trump is literally alienating the worlds allies. There is no longer a leader of the free world. Watch this space.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OUR NATION IS UNDER ATTACK. TRUMP AND HIS CULT OF RIGHT WING REPUBLICAN EXTREMISTS ARE DISMANTLING OUR CONSTITUTION THE ONE THAT WAS ENACTED BY OUR FOUNDING FATHERS. THEY ARE ERASING OUR HUMAN RIGHTS AND OUR FREEDOMS AS WE SPEAK. JUST YESTERDAY THE GREENPEACE ORGANIZATION WAS SUED FOR 300 MILLION DOLLARS FOR DEFENDING OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO A PEACEFUL PROTEST. THE STOCK MARKET HAS BEEN PLUMMETING, PLUMMETTING, IN RESPONSE TO THE NEW TARIFFS ON OUR CLOSEST TRADING PARTNERS. SOON THERE WILL BE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS LEFT WITHOUT HEALTHCARE COVERAGE, MILLIONS!!!!! MILLIONS OF CHILDREN AND MILLIONS OF SENIORS LEFT TO DIE!!!!!! DONALD TRUMP HAS FORMED A PACT WITH THE COMMUNIST RUSSIAN DICTATOR VLADIMIR PUTIN AND HIS MISSION IS TO OVERSEE THE DESTRUCTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. WE MUST MOVE QUICKLY TO IMPEACH AND REMOVE THE SATANIC THE FATHER OF ALL LIES FROM THE WHITE HOUSE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.

Great job America for voting for trump. He is not a leader he is a dictator that wants power. He doesn’t care about peoples wellbeing

American here. My take? This is not about protectionism this is about isolationism. \nWhy would Trump want this? This is about becoming the first American dictator of the Western Hemisphere. \nHyperbolic? Nope. Trump controls the Senate, House, Doge, Project 2025 is in the White House, all the branches of the Defense Department, the Attorney General and his offices, six of the nine seats on the Supreme Court, and assigned over 250 Federal judgeships to the Federal courts which are a lifetime appointment. The ONLY thing that is standing in the way of Trump are the Federel judges that actually understand the constitution and do not want to destroy this nation. The fly in the ointment? Courts can issue an order based on the constitution or our laws, but does not have any way to enforce them if Trump should just disregard their order. That is how close we are to a dictatorship.\nWake Up America.?\n P.S. Sorry Canada! Coalesce, find new trade partners, and leave the United States behind. We are no longer worthy of your friendship.

Sane U.S. Citizens stand with Canada, of which I am one of millions. We are begging our Allies to save us from this wannabe tinpot dictator. The U.S. is no longer a Republic. We are a autocracy. In the spirit of this message, I am flying the U.S. flag upside down as a sign of distress.

Chinese, American and Russian Presidents are World No1 dictators ????

I am an American and I stand with our world allies not this evil man named Donald.... Get old man Donny out of there! He is an evil dictator who spreads nothing but hate and fear.

Unfortunately, i think that trump (he does not deserve un upercase) dreams of becoming like putin. All that he is doing, everything in his language and actions screams dictator. I think that putin dreams of having the entire Europe to himself and that trump will actually want everything around the USA which includes ofc, Canada. That was their deal. I don't understand why americans are standing by just watching things unfold. It will not get better, this can only and will get worse. Sooner than they think they will find themselves trapped under these people, with no rights. It is really hard when you are already there to actually go back to democracy.

Wannabe dictator and Putler-loving Trump is insane, picking a trade war with his closest neighbors, allies and friends yet sucking up to and appeasing The Monster From Moscow. America what have you done.

I'm from UK and live and work in Hong Kong. All I can say is well spoken Mr Trudeau. Donald is supporting a dictator by allowing him to steal 20% of Ukraine and now destroyed his closest friendships. This is going to be pivotal as the rest of the world trade with each other, form their own co-operation and cease to abide by WTO rules.

I am from the US and I honestly think he is outright weakening this country for some ulterior motive. Why we are aligning with Russia, North Korea and the rest of the dictator nations is beyond me. I wish to apologize to the free world, our president is a twat waffle.

As a citizen of the United States, I stand with Canada. I am from Michigan and don’t want my home gas going through the roof. I didn’t vote for the damn racist dictator. I am for human rights. I don’t agree with Trump!!!!!!!! Good speech Trudeau. Keep standing up to the bully.

I'm from the Netherlands, Canada you rock! We stand by you and Ukraine ?. We planned a family vacation to America this year and after the fight with Zelenski we annuled it immediately. Not going to spend my hard earned money in a country that defends a murderous dictator. Americans, I know it's Donald and the republicans, and that most of you don't want this. I hope the tides will turn quickly

dictators want to take over the world which will not go down well with rest of the world

Joker??? dictator Trudeau calling other dictator

For trump, Canada and Europe are enemies but ruzzia is a friendly country. How can it be? How stupid some americans can be to believe in these?\ntrump is a ruzzian active agent since 2012. His now taking US as dictator.\nDon't buy any US brand or maded product, specially tesla and starlink.\nUS is enemy with trump, and will be worst. US cannot be trusted for years to come. They let ruzzian got power in their own country. They put trump in power today, and tomorrow who will be? They are only 300M people, and half are against this, lets fight this brainless people.\nI'm European, I'm with Canada.

Putin might be evil dictator but Starmer is on another level? At least Putin knows how to govern a country while not turning it into a criminal state like in UK?

Crying from America. Please save us from dictator Trump. :(

This is who these idiots wanted in office. And they got it…\nI’m just happy the world can see how much of an imbecile he is. \nYou’re trying to get close to a dictator. While destroying relations with allies. \nIt’s clear what he wants to be…

Folks here are forgetting that Trump is putting Tariffs on Canada because of Trudeau - a far leftist government. If we had a centrist government, this would not have happened.\nLest we never forget that Trudeau couldn't even talk to the Truckers, ceased their property and money illegally. Hopefully, none of us forget what a dictator this criminal is.

The dirty secret treaty returns again from 1944 of dictator Donald Trump who wants to sell Ukraine, to terrorist Russia./Trump wants all of Europe to become slaves to Russia, Godless dictator and atheist Donald Trump wants to restore communism in Europe and sell Ukraine to terrorist Vladimir Putin.

TRUTH!! The truth hurts Trump’s plan of chaos!! Thank you Mr. Trudeau; Republicans need to hear the TRUTH and end the misinformation! There is no end to the illogical actions that Trump is making but tariffs have been proven to result in a recession. Cutting thousands of jobs of people making $18/hr is insane!! Now, the government can pay unemployment and healthcare for people who were paying taxes! Then there is revenue lost because National Parks and Federal common spaces are closed. Then there was the this: CDC restricted from updating Americans on the latest epidemiologist reports on Covid, bird flu, the chickenpox outbreak in Texas, flu, and every other potential pandemic virus. Women and children will die as a result of this action! \nAgain, illogical anctions along with Trump aligning himself with Putin and every other dictator. He can move to Russia if he wants to live his life under Putin. He treats everyone the same; expendable!

Why is the office called 'fentanyl Tzar'? \nThis feels absurd.\n\nTzar, being the slavic interpretation of the religious office of the head of the eastern orthodox Christian church, headed by, for political reasons, the byzantine emperor. \nThe byzantines being the sucessor of the Roman empire, of which the emperor was unofficially referred to as the sucessor of Caesar, who was not the first or last Dictator of Rome.\n\nWhy does Canada have a Tzar of anything?

Trump is aligning America with dictators in Russia, North Korea, Israel and Hungary and back stabbing our allies. I have never been more fearful for our country in my life.

Dear Americans! We love you! Please come out to the street and protest against “Dictator and Bully Donald Trump”. He will be the reason for the THIRD WORLD WAR!

Remove Trump! Remove Vance! Remove Musk! Get rid of them!\n\nAmerica belongs to we the people! \n\nDiaper Trump does NOT OWN AMERICA. \n\nTrump is a dictator want to be tyrant who loves Putin. Trump is the biggest liar anybody has ever seen!\nTrump is hurting America! Trump cares only about himself and his minions who do what they are told. \nTrump lies are all part of his propaganda so he can become a dictator! \n\nWe need to remove him from the Oval Office and lock him up behind bars!

Hello Canada from Denmark. I am sad to see the unfair way the US is treating your country, and I am sure it will soon come to Europe too. But it will also hurt the Americans, that is for sure. It is sad because many of us have always been pro-America. But it should not be like that anymore, and believe me it will get worse. The Americans have elected a mad man with no scruples to dictate their country and we must find others to do business with instead, because it is too dangerous that America has all that power
