He is talking like he is addressing a group of little children... Not just in the part where he addresses Trump directly.

Everybody says they are the friend of the US, until it's time to be fair. To the world, stop being a bunch of children... or don't. But if not, be prepared to suck it up. Be ready to back up your BS. Don't tell us what our government is doing to us, pay attention to what you are doing to us... and have been since the 1950s. Let us be crystal clear, you Canada, along with Europe and others have been enjoying your subsidized lifestyles off our backs. We are done and finally someone in the White House is hearing us. I don't agree with everything he says and does, but I agree with him that this foolishness needs to stop. Stop now. To Trudeau, Buckel up butter cup, put your blackface on and find yourself a cute little dress, maybe entertainment can be the way for you to go. Talk to you in a few years, let's see how this all works out for you. To Canadian's, Last Chance, come be number 51, before the Russia and China split you down the middle like a roast pig. Send your 250 troops to Ukraine, let's see what you and 2000 Europeans can do after you piss off the Russians... because you are right about one thing, they are led by an evil man, who's word is useless and who doesn't give a rat's butt who dies for his glory.... even if it's you and your children. No worries, you don't need those nasty Americans south of the great white north, your good all on your own. I Just sent Trump another $50. Not going to change the world, but it will let him know we are behind him, no matter what the Libs of the world have to say about it.

Putin bought billions in trump coin. Trump has been paid for, just like the Chinese crypto crook who's case was just dropped for no reason last week. His name is Justin Su, he bought 70+ million in trumps crypto. It's a direct payment to trump who owns over 80% of the coin holding.

❤ Canada. We, the sane, non-MAGAt Americans, also do not want this, nor did we vote for this because we did NOT vote for an obviously mentally ill, functionally illiterate, elderly man with signs of dementia, whose main function besides destroying our country to enrich himself & all of his millionaire & billionaire buddies, is acting as a useful idiot pain for Putin. We, the Americans who value what our country has stood for, whose fathers & and grandfathers fought in both World Wars, who lived in the time before all of the current vaccines existed, who believe in equality, who value the immigrants--documented or undocumented, who believe our country should welcome them & make their paths to citizenship easier because we understand how our country & economy benefit from them living in this country, who understand & value the roles that the WHO, NATO, & the United Nations have played in keeping us ALL safer for many decades bc we REMEMBER or were told by our parents, what it was like b4 those things existed, who either lived thru The Great Depression or had parents & grandparents did, understand what the economic crisis that Trump & his band of greedy ahole idiots are deliberately causing. WE didn't do this. WE fought against it. We tried to explain & warn people about what is happening & what will happen, but you didn't EFFING LISTEN. WE are ANGRY. WE will NOT help any of you who caused this & this includes every MSM who is too afraid to speak truth to power. Start doing that NOW. Start with THIS: It's called The Gulf of Mexico, NOT the Gulf of America. Eff every Trump supporters & GOP politician--at EVERY level of government. Trump can TRY to hide what he's doing to the economy in his stupid reports. Do you honestly believe the average American pays attention to those? No, most are too busy worrying over how to pay their bills & all they'll see is that their situation is getting worse. They can't find a job. They can't afford gas. They can't afford groceries. You can't cover any of that up. WE stand with Canada, Ukraine, the EU, & every other ally nation. Not Russia. Putin can go straight to hell & the sooner the better.

Trump wants a literal war with Canada. He wants his name in history book. That's all it's to him, just like for Putin. Sick evil people.\n\nWhen he's going to blame Canada for the destruction of USA stock market due to his stupid tariff war, he'll pretend that's a good excuse to take the country by force. This is just plain evil. America went in one generation from hopeful and peace loving nation to Putin's best friend. Sickening.\n\nWhat does Trump think his actions are going to do? Most of the world now hates him. Most of the world now hates Elon, and Tesla. He's a destroyer, not a builder.\n\nRepublican party and everyone working in right wing media, you happy now? You happy that Putin is able to take over entire country because of your bigotness and hatred for minorities? You're going to get your FAFO too one day, that's the revolution that will not be fought with words of appeasement or be as miserable failure as Jan 6.

Speaking logic to Trump. Get a response like: “why is your tie green?!”

19:21 „Isolating Canada“ well, NO. New Trades between Europe and Canada are in place. Dummy Trump isolated USA from Canada (and their resources), like he isolated USA from Ukraine (and their resources)

Tariffs on Canada would likely reduce real gross domestic product to zero in 2025 if implemented beyond a year and lead to a 2% contraction in 2026 with a peak unemployment rate of more than 8%. Trump told Canada if you did TWO THINGS, there would be no tariffs on Canada. One, stop illegal immigrants from pouring into the USA from Canada. Two, stop illegal drugs from coming into the USA from Canada. Did Trudeau comply with President Trump's request? If so, there must be a lack of communication to verify what has transpired. If not, then Trump imposed tariffs for lack of compliance. Now, if Canada has already complied yet the Trump admin imposed tariffs anyway, then that is a slap in the face to our neighbors to the north and the American people should be outraged and let Trump know it.

Trump is like an elephant in a china shop, and we are the china.

Pretext? Like attacking Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit? Surely not.\nRemember that only 33% voted for Trump: 67% of voters DID NOT: he does not represent us! Most Americans have honor and loyalty and respect our Constitution, laws, and allies, so I hope that once this very dark page in our history is past, we can again become a sane, democratic and lawful nation.

Our allies are finding out just like we did that this criminal is bought and paid by Putin. He’s not your friend Donald Trump is the enemy of the state and the free world.

Trump is like a crazy spoiled girlfriend

It’s most of the world, and sensible Americans who employ common sense and logic vs tRump and his neofascist agenda. In professional wrestling terms, the U.S. has turned “heel,” but the now occupant of the White House, who should’ve never returned, always has been one. I don’t understand his appeal, and why so many Americans have been sucked into his orbit.\nI don’t want this, many tRump voters don’t want this. This’ll adversely affect the world, and will do nothing to reduce the nearly $2 trillion deficit. tRump’s tax cuts for the wealthy, and fElon Musk’s austerity measures will, and already are raising unemployment, and will further increase the divide between the wealthiest and most marginalized among us.\nThe U.S. siding with Russia, the two countries having the biggest nuclear stockpiles, is a threat to the world.\nIf WW3 starts, it won’t be because Zelenskyy won’t act to end a war in which his country was unnecessarily invaded, it’ll be because of Russia’s invasion of it, and the U.S. turning its back on its now former allies.\nThose of us in the states who oppose tRump and his alliance with Putin need to continue to stand up, speak out, and perhaps even do more. We’ve never seen anything like this before. Hate to say it, but this could very well be the beginning of the end of what was once a great nation. I’ll end this with a quote from FDR.\n“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.”

CNN celebrating an outgoing Prime Minister of a foreign county to give a “blistering speech” against the new American president, while when he does that, they fall apart in disbelieve and outrage!\n\nWhat else is “NEWs”?\n\nRename CNN Candian Network News, maybe. \n\nI used to watch CNN daily, now it’s just a turn-off. Literally. \n\nTrudeau has been a disaster for Canada and Canadians… and he’s being chased “out of town”, but if he attacs the US or even better Pres. Trump, he’s oh so cool and fashionable. \nBut is he?\nHe helped Trump get elected, just like the woke left and CNN. \n\nPad yourself on your shoulders, it wasn’t easy but you did it, well with the help of the rest of the left media. \n\nThanks!

TRUDEAU a real President not a Clown like Trump. USA President is Putin.

I have voted for Trump 3 times. Canada has over charged the USA through tariffs for years. I know you will miss the money but just suck it up like we have had to do. Pres Trump is for the American ppl and all his decisions are directed that way. For the ppl from our country that have commented on this statement and love Canada move there, right away.

Stop insulting our President! We are no longer woke communist like Trudeau and the EU, and we are focusing on us, as the world does not appreciate all we do and we are far from perfect here. President Trump is one of the great Presidents that made America and Canada so successful in the past, and all these socialist a$$bags can do is cry and get in the way of progress! We are the superpower of the world for a reason and you’re on the wrong path my Canadian friends! Watch you ? mouth long story short!

Looks like Trump is freezing out Canada for a take over. He said he wants it as his 51st State.

Why do you VOTE INDIVIDUALS like Donald Trump? YOU are a Fool if you did.

I hate shit like this done to Canada im from America Trump needs to go

Trump running this country like one of his failed businesses. We about to be bankrupt because this convicted felon of a president is being controlled by the enemies of democracy ?

If this is what the usa think this is how to interact with friends you need no more enemies. And as Mr Trump loves deals so much he may be wanted to be treated like a dealer. Well...

Everyone thinks that this is Canada standing up, but what this means is that the Canadians with our economy that is 1/10 that of the US will be taxed at 25% on our imports, this is going to hurt canadians way more than the retaliatory terrifs will hurt the americans. This may also lead to an escalated response from the US exacerbating the effect. Trudeau and others can't seem to grasp that there may be a long term strategy from Trump and this is playing into it. \n\nThe truth of all of it is that Trump does not like Justin Trudeau or the Liberal government.

Trudeau you really don’t care about Canadians. Please spare all of us. Please stop representing us. Go away. You have been taxing Canadians to the maximum. You have treated us exactly like Trump. You both care about ONLY YOURSELF

Everyone who talked nonsense about Trudeau, the Carbon Tax and jumped on the Pollievre bandwagon please open yourselves and your hearts to your fellow Canadians and fellow human beings by seeing the danger, heartache and awful consequences that have resulted from MAGA rhetoric, Trump's election and recognize the need for Canada to come together and stand behind leaders that will keep Canada's (and the world's) best interests in mind, and not stand behind a wannabe leader like Pollievre that will sell out Canada and worsen this situation beyond repair ❤?????

I am sorry, but smart people don't make mistakes like Trump!

Let’s go Trudeau ?? this Pariah Govt must Go. Well said without casting Blame and Whining using propaganda and having weasels like musk and all his appointees to do these sick acts this is the darkest chapter in American history. I’m happy to see Canada and Mexico are the lights at the end of the tunnel. Trump and Co. Are weak individuals, there way is not the American way they can go to Russia with that nonsense.

Trump it is an ally of russia working together with all autocracy countries and it is in the highest position possible to destroy NATO ally from the inside and that is exactly what he is doing together with elon musk and other billionaires, when USA will be terminated it will continue on the same path or straight conquering anything that oppose to them so in the end what will remain will be only very rich billionaires to rule the world as they like, and of course slaves... that means the rest of the world. How is that for a future scenario?

From California: \nHis talk to Trump was like a father speaking to a baby ??? ??❤️\n1000% tariffs on Teslas and Kentucky please!

YES!!! Like Zelensky, show Trump what a man and a people's leader looks like!!

Go Mr Trudeau!!!\n\nGreat to see such leadership in standing up to the fool that is Trump.\n\nRational. Factual. Impactful.\n\nPlease world - start standing up to Trump’s idiocy like this. It is world class leadership. And sense.

I would like to thank all the kind words from all over the world I see here. We as Canadians really appreciate it. It's going to be a tough time ahead for this country, but if no one else will stand up to Trump, we will.

I don't like Trudeau much but he can speak like a politician and what he says sounds like common sense. And then we got Trump, a six year old angry baby elephant and his sidekick JD Robin, the couch lover and ass licker, scamming and bullying basically everyone except Putler. Talk about a pathetic narcissist psychopath, and the hillbillies who voted for him should go join Russia on the frontline. I know they're too fat and they would shoot in the wrong direction but the Russians are on the same level

As a u.s citzen I'm appalled and ashamed of my president. The elites got what they want but doesn't mean it will last they talk about exposing corruption but yet are doing some pretty corrupt things why do we only get 2 choices for a president and lesser of two evils why don't we pick someone with morals and that have the best interest for our country and people not just the rich cause I've been struggling before during and after trump maybe we need new congress and stop this dumbass blame game of pointing fingers when dems and rep come together we can be unstoppable why are people so stupid and selfish like we have it easier than most country's last I knew we don't eat cats or dogs so that tells me are economy not as bad as other places just seems like the rich are losing and this will help them stay rich. I don't like Biden or trump but my god does no one notice the segregation that's pushing us apart? we were all for Ukraine before and now plp wanna act differently without facts or knowledge kids family's they are dying cause putin is a prime example of a dictator.... praying and hoping we come together to fix this and show our next generation on what not to do.

Canada couldn't hurt the USA IF THEY TRIED FOR HUNFRED YEARS YOU SIR HAVE ONE OPTION ALIGHN WITH OUR PRESIDENT OR YOU WIIL REGRET IT YOU AREA FOOL IF YOU THINK THIS FOOLISH PRESS conference is going to intimidate president Trump only a fool would try something like this so stupid.

I would like to know if there is still Americans who believe that Trump is doing a good job in the office?

Trump is not getting played. I believe just like Israel promising Trump real estate development in Gaza, Putin has likely made similar promises on conquered Ukrainian territory. Trump has aligned himself with wishful conquerors. Is he being used? Yes! Does he believe he’ll get something in return? Yes!

Is this the same guy that capitulated immediately to Trump on tariffs and was told off by Xi of China for being immature. Some of these western leaders are just juveniles. No more election only they have to pass a test to lead just like in any other job before we elect them

crasy crasy trump and his administration \nDelirium delirium delirium for trump!\nCanadians and his Prime Minister are proud of their country and for human rights and freedom!\nusa is not now a friend \nusa is a friend for dictators like russia and poutine or north corea and mafias organizations and Netanyahu and destroyed Gaza and countries around with moneys from usa and trump with arms for millions and millions of milliards $\nBye bye usa\nStay in your crimes \nStay in injustice actions\nWith your gods $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Shut up baby girl world need to be free from such tumors like you and i support president trump he know what he is doing Americans are very blessed people that they have got president like Donald trump and respective administration

Could ?trump articulate one sentence anywhere near the likes of this man? That narcissistic selfish loudmouth Felon bully rapist with a mushroom head micro penis was chosen by UTTERLY UNEDUCATED maga folks. It's shamefully. Will they now grow up and March to his house like they did on Jan 6 to oust him? That's the only thing that will save america.

Trump is gonna separate us from all our allies, he wants a territory that looks like old world, Russia. Tearing our government apart and leaving it vulnerable to oligarchs we need to do something now to stop this shit.!

Trump is such a fool. He just manufactured an excuse to put tariffs on. He likes to show he is a tough guy by inflicting pain on everyone. This fentanyl excuse is maddening. No other country has this issue. Drugs are illegal and no one is forced to take them. Take responsibility for your choices. No one should die but no one should take illegal drugs.

The U.S. is no longer the sugar daddy of the world why don’t you understand! The disrespect to President Trump is ridiculous from this woke socialist idiot! This is about equality and showing the respect of the country that drives your economy and protects your borders! Trudeau like the American left has swore to the woke religion, and the destruction it has inflicted on our country especially the last four years is over! Start showing respect to your closest ally or find yourself the 51st state if you keep FAFO! MAGA/MURICA!❤

Wow! Leader of a country with a backbone. You should be proud, Canada. He makes Trump and Vance look like the low intelligent monkeys that they are. No offence to monkeys intended.

I AM an American, and this NEEDS to happen. A true test of American democracy is happening! Sometimes, when things look the worst, especially with this American experiment, we get stronger and better. But in the meantime, it all looks like shit. Trump is a bad head cold, a virus that needs to be inoculated. The antibodies are coming (free loving countries of the world -the American people). Stay strong and stay united, and don't give up! We are ALL in this together!

Hey Donald, that's what it looks like to be a real leader. Take notes! Donald Trump is such an embarrassment and no, he's NOT a smart guy.

U.S Army veteran I stand with Canada. I will never bow down to Russia like trump has.

So, why is it that this guy makes it seem like they haven't been taken advantage of the U.S. since they have been able to! He is also lying about that northern border, too. Russians have been illegally crossing into the U.S. thru Canada for years. I know it as fact bcuz I've met Russian truckers who told me how they originally came to the U.S. via Canada! It's easier up there bcuz that border isn't as secure as the southern border. I guarantee you their statistics for fentynal crossing in via Canada is wrong. Those are just the statistics for the fentynal they caught, not the shit they haven't caught! Tariffs shouldn't have had to be the reason for Canada to do their job. They should have already been doing their job at that border. Trump had to threaten them in order for them to use drones, etc. at the border. They should have been doing that. This shows that they were already taking advantage of the weak ass government who just left office. Maybe he should just become the 51st state to make it all much simpler!

Trump wants to break the Canadians in order to ultimately force the annexation of Canada into the United States. This is the main goal of this trade war, since the USA cannot start a traditional war with Canada like Putin did.
