Ok 51. Pull up. You don’t want the smoke. 370 million > 40 million. Sit tf down you clowns.

Trudeau is a joke. Sit down weakling. We don’t need you for anything.

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

LOL.. how much are the nodders get paid to sit behind and just nod lolol

BRAVO Prime Minister Trudeau!! To my incredible Canadian neighbors -- You cannot imagine the shame and humiliation I am filled with as I sit in my home, which is located south of your beautiful country. Please believe me when I say I am sorry. I am truly sorry, for any hardships my country has unnecessarily brought to your door. My fear is, 4 yrs from now when his term is up, there will be no peaceful transfer of power to our next President. He who shall not be named, will most likely refuse to leave office. I wish I was a wizard standing on Platform 9 3/4 right now.

I feel sorry for al the employees and families in America and around the world that are going to lose jobs.. Trump Vance Rubio Musk spoilt brats won't care sitting back in thier multi million dollar houses and mansions..

Imagine screwing up so badly that Canada —CANADA — has to sit you down like an irresponsible child and explain basic economics. \n\nNext, Trudeau will be offering a coloring book to illustrate 'Actions Have Consequences' while the U.S. government wonders why their groceries now cost as much as a used car. ????

TRUDEAU, sit down and shut your freaking mouth. You little punk I am fourth generation British Columbian, Canadian and President Trump and Canadians have heard enough from you pie hole!

As a Minnesotan, I feel as if I’m almost as Canadian as American and proud to say so. Our present sitting president and buffoon unelected sidekick Musk are creating chaos everywhere for the sake of billionaire donors and supporters. Absolutely none of what Trump/Musk has done and plans to continue to do is beneficial to a single non-wealthy American and these actions will harm his personal voters (of which I’ve never been one!) the most. Trump cares not. Pervasive narcissistic sociopathy is not curable! Stand strong Canada! We’re trying mightily to defeat this insanity here in the USA! 74 million people did not vote for any of this harm and destruction and outright cruelty!

I don't care what side of the fence you sit on. I did not need to hear this man speak to already know Canada was, but may yet be, our greatest ally and trading partner. I have no idea what possessed Mr. Trump to decide to stab our allies in the back, but it was not something good. 27.5% of voting age adults voted for him. How many of them were serenaded by hollow promises and a good slogan. Perhaps all of the mud slinging and Russian media interference helped? If you add in our more studious teenagers, truly reformed felons, and immigrants who actually deserve a gold card, that number plummets to less than 25%. I won't ask people to wake up, if you are reading this you are already more than capable of finding out that I speak only the hard truth. This means less than a quarter of america wanted this. This means your vote and opinions DO count. I know it is incredibly difficult to reach for and find answers in a world where your president or primary candidate throws 'fake news' in your face on a regular basis. He is actually telling the truth. When he is not telling you is that he is a primary enabler of 'fake news'. To him, only his word is law, only his opinion matters, only he deserves to be on top, and he deserves authority over all of your lives. Do the right thing, we all have a civil duty to understand our candidates to the very best of our ability. When a man has been convicted of dozens of felonies, and we tell you that this is only what we were willing to expose. You may want start believing us. The genuine facts of his past are unilaterally corrupting to our children and good people alike. Do not let the american people repeat their mistakes, force Mr. Trump to atone for his mistakes. No not empower him to sweep them under the rug for the sake of his own arrogance, because that is exactly what he is doing by trying to dismantle the CIA and FBI. These two institutions are shining examples of America's pursuit of freedom and justice. Freedom to keep billionaires from corrupting the morals of our children. Freedom to know that the rule of law is immutable, our constitution is not just a paper with fancy traditional sentiment. Even if the law may sometimes be bent for the sake of decency, forgiveness, and the pursuit of 'united we stand', our constitution cannot. Amendments require the FULL support of nearly all Americans, not 27.5% of unrestricted adults.

There is fierce competition. Who will be the Best Comedian of 2025.\nHere is the current ranking: \n\nZelensksy is at #1 formore than 3 years.\nUrsula is sitting duck at #5.\n\nStarmer moved to #3 after he pledged $3 billion aid for Ukraine.\n\n1. Zelensksy - Ukraine \n2. Justin Trudeau - Canada \n3. Starmer - UK \n4. Macron - France \n5. Ursula - EU

T'Rumpty has lost credibility world wide - Except for in Russia, but basically Putin is sitting back laughing at the orange buffoon in the White House!

Partner my ass!! I crossed the border in a truck over 100 times. Every time I was treated like dirty Harry. My truck was taken apart, I was insulted for being a Veteran and told I was a trained killer, I told them that we didn't sit around and play marbles and jacks. Meanwhile towel heads crossed the border without restrictions.. not having to stop at all... using the GM TRUCKS to haul contriband to the US to kill us! No love lost for me.

As an American, bring it Canada and I support you. That orange orangutan sitting in the White House needs to feel it.

Golden age of the USA? \nTotal chaos in the government due to decisions by the most unqualified administration! \nA despicable liar sits in our oval office who is destroying our country every day , every moment. \nWe are loosing our allies, isolating our country and going on an absolutely wrong path. \nI support Canada! Ukraine! Not \nPutin.

Of all these people in this comment section, are you guys gonna leave or you guys sit here and take this ???

As a big back, I sit with Canada

Canada, the American people don't want this and a lot of Trump supporters didn't want this either. I'm sorry that y'all too have to suffer and deal with a man that doesn't lead your country. Believe me I would swap with y'all tomorrow. \n\nIt's amazing how Canada came up with how many billions for border patrol but we can't get Congress to pass a bill. President Biden tried to get a bill through Congress within his first 100 days and they wouldn't pass it then either. We have scanners sitting at the Mexican Border that will detect Fentanyl but Congress would approve using them either. Everyone needs to find out how their Representative voted on that bill and make sure they are not in office next time. \n\nI don't know how this man got elected but I feel like Musk and Starlink helped him win. I just heard that Starlink is what was used to send the results in the swing states. Musk told someone an hour before polls closed that Trump was the winner, with his evil laugh and let's not forget Trump telling his supporters that they didn't need to vote cause he will win without them. That's fishy. \n\n\nY'all what do we do if he won't leave office? What do we do then? I know he just got in the White House but it's never too early to have a plan to get him out. They worked on Project 2025 for 4 years and now it's all falling into place. OMG! What are we going to do?

Evil, Greed and Revenge lose from the very beginning. Our corrupt government is sitting on the sidelines watching the concept of their plan is exploding in their face.

As a Canadian, so proud of Prime Minister Trudeau! Go for it, hit America with huge tariffs! Bully trump and his lap dog should sit up and take note!!!!!!

Everyone sit back and watch Canada implode !!!!

Why do you guys literally sit there and lie…? ALL. THE. TIME! \n\nPlease do tell us why you were streaming the Butler, PA convention as the FIRST AND ONLY you ever live streamed..? \n\nWhat did you know..?\n\nI miss the CNN I grew up with. One with integrity.

I'm just going to clarify something remember when they said Trump had allies with Russia now you see what the Democrats were talking about. Trump always blames democrats for his faults. Trump had you guys convinced not to vote for Democrat. Now are allies don't even want to deal with the US anymore which is understandable because of what the whole nation seen with their own eyes and heard with their own ears. Trump says he wants to make America Great American dream not for Americans maybe for you Republicans I guarantee a lot of Republicans don't agree with him but they all are scared to say anything to Trump and his team which that is disturbing within itself. Trump needs to be impeached he's causing to much chaos and still getting away with people's lives in real life situations this is not a joke. As for JD Vance his vice president he was laughing and asking Zelenskyy why was he not wear a suit what about Elon musk he wasn't wearing a suit? And when you ask another person to come from another country to the White House they are dressed in their traditional clothing to be mocked by these men is despicable. Real people lost their jobs, real people are dying that need aid,for them to shut down the military aid was a slap in the face,mind you they sit back and laugh about it.. Russia is the last person Trump should be nice Putin is not on the US side it's obvious but Trump laughs with him, communicate better with Putin which is disturbing as well. Having the power and money makes people so entwined into their own world,Trump should think about Americans first and not act like a disrespectful person he ruined his chance not Zelenskyy. Now We the people are looking at our President and vice President like the are unhinged, disrespectful, uncompassionate, and down right rude. Kamala,Tim warned everyone Barak, Michelle, Biden did also y'all should have listened. I voted for Kamala and Tim. If Trump wants peace he needs to stop with all the madness and focus fixing the US.

I really can’t believe Donald is dragging us down and we sit back.

Putin is sitting back laughing watching the US destroy itself and he doesn’t have to lift a finger!

The more people escalate this in the media it brings fear, fear drives actions and many cases like this you are reacting out of emotion instead of logic. Trumps negotiation tactic is working people are trying to flex and appear strong and backing themselves into a corner. Sit down and negotiate.

50% of us did not vote for this lunatic! Thanks to all those patriots that believe in this idiot! He is a very flawed human being, who should not be in charge of anything that has to do with people. Thank you President Biden, it is a shame that you did not get the credit you deserved. Just think how calm things would be if Kamala Harris was sitting in the White House. Canada we understand…. Congress and the Senate do your job and stop this lunacy!!! ?????

I've never been so proud of you Justin Trudeau! If I could, I'd vote for you today. I think you're the leader we need more than ever. Thank you for everything you've done for us.\n\nI'm scared as hell of what's to come, who will lead us. If the Conservatives gain power I'm afraid we will go the way of the US and its idiot in charge and what will become of the world...\n\nOur next election will matter more than ever. I hope as Canadians we come out in droves and vote for democracy and not sit at home and watch the Right win. I've never voted Liberal before, I've always supported the NDP. But this next election regardless of who is elected as leader for the Liberals I will vote for them to keep Poiliever out of office as that will be catastrophic. \n\nOnce again thank you for everything Justin Trudeau ❤️

Scotland calling. The US is rapidly losing all its friends across the world…..apart from your brand new friend Russia. Anti-American sentiment is spreading like wildfire, everyone is turning against the US. Is this what you want? Are you proud of your country right now? Are you going to sit back and watch this happen? Every bully eventually ends up alone

Remember guys at the end of the day all these tariffs don’t affect Mr Treadu. It affects you. Remember why we fought over a 2% tax in 1776 now we sit in our couch and see the tax price keep rising and y’all sit there and do nothing. They will suck you dry until you no longer have a right.

Thank you Mr. President! Nothing but respect! You are a class act, a fine example of what a man with character and common sense should act like… Trump is very jealous because he’s such a toddler constantly throwing temper tantrum‘s, he has no respect for anyone not even himself. Most of us stand with Canada and agree with you… It’s unfortunate we have a common criminal sitting in our oval office… God help us all ????

Except he's not speaking directly to President Trump, because President Trump isn't there.\nHe saw what happened to Zelenski, and wants no part of sitting face to face with Trump & Vance. \nCanada's richest province is more poor than our poorest state (Alabama). \nThank Justin. Good luck with your retaliatory tarrifs though.

Everyday he sits in office he just keeps embarrassing the united states of America with this maddness never in history have our Beloved united states seen this Maddness it's just sad real sad the Downfall of the United states with this Maddness in the white house sad real sad ?

Why would Trump care- he sits in his white house or Trump tower UNEFFECTED- what does he know about the struggle of the AVERAGE AMERICAN?? He can only think of lifestyles like the French Riviera and golf courses. Does he care about what hes doing for the AVERAGE AMERICAN??? His actions speak.

It's no trade war, it's protectionnism. Something you should have done way before in your 10-year tenure. Also, he's not allying Putin, he's negociating on behalf of world peace. You don't get what you want by insulting people, so thinking Putin will cease fire and retreat if you call him names clearly isn't the solution. It hasn't worked for three years, why would that change now? Also, stop giving away our money to Zelenskyy. Sit this one out, Justin, we've had enough. Respectfully. They're 10 times bigger than us and we have no leverage whatsoever. Inflation is at an all-time high, people can't handle more. Please. I'm sure you're great outside of work, I'd share a beer anytime, but this has to stop. Please.

I am just sitting here wondering to myself if the MAGA cult can make any sense or understand what Trudeau Just said they would not be accustom to listening to an intelligent man making a coherent intelligent speech Maybe they need more time

Don't threaten us or tell us what we're going to feel! Go and sit in timeout and we'll TELL YOU! when you can come out

As an American I am disgusted that we have that orange POS sitting in the White House and all of his spineless POS!

Trump, a lazy and arrogant man who sit in the White House signing executive orders without look into all the facts precisely.

Our Congress SITS ON ITS HANDS OVER FAKE ISSUES ABOUT FENTENAL COMING TO USA. Trump wants USA to become BRICS.

As a Canadian. Don't believe a word coming out of this treasonous piece of crap. You're done. To sit there and call him Donald? This is how dumb this idiot is. God please help our country.

Kamala sitting at home filing her nails like I told yall

The problem here isn't temporary. Tariffs may or may not be. But when Canada, Mexico, and other countries build alternate trade infrastructure and strike deals that exclude America, this becomes near irreversible and will hurt America's economy well after Trumps term. And that's just trade and economy.\n\nThen there are many relationships worldwide which are already affected, and world leaders are poised to move on without America - leaving it isolated. The US is the most powerful country in the world and can survive alone, but even so, no country flourishes without international partnerships that both parties can rely on. Like Putin, nobody can rely on Trumps word.\n\nHe is destroying everything. And the American public are largely sitting back and watching it. \n\nWake up before it's too late.

100% TARRIFS ON TESLA WILL STOP MUSK'S SALES IN CANADA ALL THE TESLAS SITTING IN CANADA GATHERING DUST AND NOW MUSK WILL HAVE TO SHIP THEM BACK TO THE U S A AT HIS EXPENSE AND STORE THEM OR HAVE A BLOWOUT SALE BECAUSE OF OVER STOCK!!!!!!

TRUMP IS FINE WITH MUSK WEARING A TSHIRT IN THE WHITEHOUSE WITH A BUNCH OF BIG WHITE BOLD LETTERS BUT HAS A PROBLEM WITH ZELENSKY WEARING A WELL FITTED CLEAN OUTFIT TRUMP REALLY THINKS HE'S A GOD BUT IS REALLY AN EVOLVING DICTATOR HAND IN HAND WITH PUTIN WHO OFFICIALLY IS ALREADY A DICTATOR!!!!!!!

American here. Thank you for realizing what a fool we have sitting (part time) in the White House. We salute you.

This the same school teacher take took peoples bank accounts and arrested them for resisting unnecessary medical procedures….. sit down down little Just

This alarming what in the hell is going on is Trump sitting us up to be invaded by Russia in Korean

How is this guy still called our Prime Minister. Sit down, and let the adults take care of the problems you created.

Beside Trudeau..he is looking like the guy in a prank where he entered into the theatre and there are all goons sitting in theatre

Right you are, Trump has to learn the hard way what it means to screw his friends and throw contracts in the trash! We're stopping all cooperation, then we'll see who can do it better: sit it out and wait!
