He never said Trump is a smart man, that was part of the quote damn it. I’m an American who is so sad, mad, outraged we are treating Canada and Mexico. Thank you Trudeau, I heard your message for us. I certainly cast my vote and will do so again towards unity, reason, compassion and love for the world. Not this disgusting behavior.

I hope Canadians aren't mad at all Americans because not all Americans agree with what Trump is doing.????❤

As someone form the Caribbean that welcome everyone from everywhere, praises to Canada on the response of Trump and his enablers madness. Changing my summer vacation from Orlando to Toronto. Eff…Trump and Company.

Its obvious trumps working with putin they probably made a deal if america dont get involved with Ukraine war . And putin wants him to do his best to cripple major countrys . Trump needs to go and quick becouse theres something were not seeing in this madness .

WHY is the United States allowing Trump to throw our country away? Where are our electric leaders, our justice system, who is protecting us from this mad Man?

As an American I am grateful to Canada and I will continue to buy Canadian products. The “leaders” of America are shameful bullies. So far, nearly every attempt that has been made to stop this madness ultimately gets turned over by someone in Trump’s pocket. Thank you for standing up to the bullies. I wish the best for you!

As a South African, I want to say that this trade war, as well as the hostile approach of Trump towards Canada, is devastating. If one were not experiencing it directly, it would be almost impossible to believe. This is such a remarkable speech that it will go down in history as one of the truly great speeches in times of crisis. It is entirely correct to address the American and Canadian peoples directly, as the Prime Minister has done. They are both clear victims of this madness, Americans misled, and Canadians the target, of this senseless trade war. If one reads History, there is another dimension to this, and I hate to say it. Canadians have to prepare themselves for worse. These types of antics by the aggressor usually involve, finger pointing, contrived border incidents, plausibly deniable incursions and other actions, by the aggressor, which one can find if the preludes to the WW1 and WW2 are studied. I am not sure if you have porcupines in Canada, but you need to rapidly become one.

Great reaction! The Americans voting for Trump have to wake up and see that they had a big part in making his dangerous nonsense possible. Tho world has to stop this mad man as soon as possible before it's too late!

As a person who did not (!!!) vote for Mr. Trump, I am heartbroken to see our two countries in a trade war. My sympathies are for the American and Canadian families who will be sharply affected by this madness.

As a Pole I watch the news about Trump terrified. This is madness and the treason of western values and friends. It's comforting to see others standing against THIS

In the line of the White House Madness, I expect that Trump now will raise the tariffs again with 25%.....For him the World is the enemy. No matter of they are allies or foe's... Connecting with Putin? That will not last, watch and see...

Trump is a mad man

Trudy you are the reason you destroyed our country, you make Trump mad in many ways, even last week Trudy we don’t like even see your face Trudy you put under 64 billon, open the Govt. your own liberal Govt. wanted you to out, but you no hiding shut the Govt. running & running now you giving your garbage speech to Trump, you just barking to mountains no body is listening to your garbage , you simply get out we will fix the problem. Why Trudy just bullshit talking.

lol. Didn’t Trudeau just step down cause Canadians hate him so much & he ruined the country? ? This outrage at Trump is all manufactured. The only people mad are the elites losing power & their shadow puppets. lol. CNN needs ratings.

new levels of respect for Trudy now - stood right up to the orange mad man using intelligence - trump and the MAGA cult need jailing and we only months in

I have to agree that Canadians are reasonable and polite and as an everyday American I wish I could stop trumps madness but I can’t. ?

A.H. in 1939, D.J. Trump in 2025 : different century, same objective, same behaviour, same ideology : fascism. People from the World, prepare yourself for WW3.......and I am unfortunately not kidding and disagree with that idea, but I do not see any other exit to Trump's madness or, should I say, objective...Trump voters, you choose this fate, you'll pay the price of it as every human being on Earth; don't think you'll be spared because you voted for that psychopath. He will not protect you from a nuclear war.

Trump is a mad man

USA will understand very soon for stupid mad trump...!

When an addict takes another hit of fentanyl knowing it may kill him or her we certify the addict mad. Trump is in the same bracket. What a nutcase.

Americans don't mind but you are so fool to choose Trump as a president, this is madness

We can't get mad at Canada this is exactly what Trump wanted you said once you said 100 times Trump does not give a damn about the American people

I'm from Ukraine. Thanks American people and Canadians for your support, understanding, help, but Trump is madness and weakness. The American president and Vance has humiliated the all people of Ukraine in our fight for independence.

Canada won't back down at all they never did during the oppressive mandates they formed the trucker convoys and put a stop to that madness the U.S never did anything like that. Trump is just a terrible leader all he has done since in power is attack allies its not like he went after any of the people that were trying to get him convicted, this moronn as soon as he was voted into power he attacked Canada his closest ally ridiculous, I'm beginning to think Trump is an agent of some kind based on his actions so so retarded his actions.

It's unbelievable once upon a time. Muhammad Gaddafi used to be called mad Dog, but it seems to be a very old mad. Dog is causing poisonous ideas, bitting more than he can chew , and trump politics serve his big egos for the next 4 years, and he never stood up for peace ,he's a big bully, I hope the rest of the world can work together to show trump Canada, Europe and the rest of the world can thrive without America. Well said, priminister Trudo.

Trump is just mad he can't be as good of a politician or as good-looking as Trudeau is

Trump gets me thinking … who was really eating the dogs… it was him all along.. the man is mad.

Trump talks about peace, but only causes unrest and chaos. Shame on his supporters. Putin is happy.\nIn Germany we say: The madness has its limits - Mexico and Canada

Aren't these acts of treason by Trump? Why no one is alarmed in USA by these obvious acts from a mad man or a traitor?

Trump is mad. I just have no idea what he does

Justin Trudeau with iron in his voice. Thank you, Mr President. As a British person on my side of the Pond, these are welcome and necessary words. Let us all in Britain and in Europe echo Mr Trudeau's sentiments. We want our friendship with America back, intact, but it requires the removal of Trumpism and fascism from the American psyche. American democracy can come back better and stronger in the absence of its current madness and malaise. Trump is not a President. He is a Pretendident.

Trudeau , the lib tard. Trump wouldn't pick you for his team on the play ground and your mad.

As a Dane I stand side by side with Canada ?? ?? Also side by side to the amarican people who can see what Trump and his administration are doing! Shame that it has to come to this, I hope that the Americans somehow can stop this, before it goes wrong. We stand together, against this madness ?❤️

Because of the bully Trump, the friend has become an enemy, unfortunately Trumpian madness

Trudeau sure hasn't been acting like a friend. Now all of a sudden he's are best friend? That's nonsense. He's a mooch and he's mad that the gravy train is over.\nGo Trump... America First ??

As an American I am disgusted and ashamed. This is not the end of the madness coming out of Trump's small, unpatriotic, destructive mind. Prime Minister Trudeau and President Zelensky did not roll over and let Trump bully them. Trump should look at these men as leaders, and stop playing with Putin's peter. Trump and Vance should resign immediately.

Trump never aligned with Putin. This is grossly spoken. Trudeau is mad about tariffs. We get charged tariffs by so many countries but suddenly we are the bad guys? Get real.

These are Trump, Musk and Republican tariffs. Many Americans stand against this administration and appreciate any help you can give us to stop his madness!

As history has proved: it only takes one single mad, narcissistic and corrupt vile excuse for a human to upend peace; whether it be trade or human suffering! Hitler, Putin and now Trump.

EU + Canada against Trumps Madness ??

Trump is a mad man

It DOES make sense. Trump is a Russian agent, codename Krasnov. He is ordered by Putin to create chaos in the west. That’s getting increasingly clear. The question is, are there any responsible forces left in the US, who can stop this madness? Or, ar we just driving down the road to full mayhem?

My President was once a person I may have not agreed with. But, I stood by my government’s decisions and supported my president’s policies. This is a message to you my President. Trump…your acting impulsively and need to stop acting like a child.\nStop supporting the Russians and stop this madness.

Trump is mad.

10:24 they mad at trump while they let that many drugs came into America, cnn is crazy.

I weep for what other countries who feel they have been forced to do, with no blame towards them. I scream raving mad at the people that voted trump into office. You people are destroying my country.

Trump is still mad that Melania kissed him and it became a meme. JFC the guy is weak!

The only conclusion i could get to with this madness is Trump and the technocrats are trying to passively kill off the lower class people and turn the middle class into the new lower class.

Talk is cheap Canada,cut off the oil and electricity and Trump will fold like a cheap suit,anything less is pointless and will prolong this madness ! CUT THE OIL AND ELECTRICITY OR BOW DOWN !

Dear Canada, do what you need to do, Trump is under Kompromat by Russia, and this thing will not stop unless the American people stand against this madness.
