It DOESN'T make sense!! I'm so sorry Canada......I know WE Americans will be punished by this horrible/hateful human that some chose as a president.

Ooops. My mistake. I started watching this without knowing it was a cnn propoganda skit. Y'all got brain rot.

Good work Canadian up the old American mad man he to old for job he don’t know what to do

Trump wants peace between Russia and Ukraine and Trudeau calls him a fan of Putin. ? Does he know how dipomasy works?! Apparently not.

I know a lot of people don't care for Trudeau. I am actually pretty impressed with him, and on his way out, he is showing his strength and intelligence. He has Canada's back even in his last days as Prime Minister. Let's make sure we elect a Prime Minister who is equally strong and can stand up the narcissistic bully called Trump.

wow he tried to persuade american to turn against their own goverment.. you know why this wars happens in the first place.. its about security.. remember he was the one who F'ed his own people earlier..

Please know not all of us voted for Trump and we do not stand behind what he's done. He is a jerk.

Trudeau every intelligent and sane know this is not your fault! The branches of the American government have become a complete joke especially with this idiotic nazi administration that loves communism!

Trump's tariffs and other senseless foreign policy initiatives destabilize the international order. And Trump knows it. Another head of state is doing likewise whose efforts Trump is helping, intentionally or not. In view of other recent events, they may not be coincidental, to America's shame and disgrace!

Lex Luther was always Supermans friend , greatest guys I know , Putin and Trump ! Bringing to you on the world stage , chaos , division , and bondage unto submission ! LETS MAKE A DEAL , COME ON DOWN !!!???

Now this is a president...? That piece of Crap in the white house, I don't know what that is. He's all FUCK UP.

I hate that he has to pretend Trump is his friend, when we all know Trump's only friend is Putin

Yall so fkn dumb af yall dont even know the benefits behind the tariffs for us Americans. Imagine someone helping your economy and not knowing about it while you criticizing the person helping you. Thats so fkn dumb. Poor Trump i feel bad for him as they're too many ignorant people out there. Think about it how in the f does tariffs benefit Trump in any kind of way. In nothing its just for the Country thats all

America......no offense, but I can't wait to complete bridging trade relationships with the EU, Japan, and China. All of these in recent months started discussions on major trade deals, which could eclipse the trade we do with the US.\n\nI'm sick of this sht from a country rotting from the basement up. \n\nBTW I hear Nebraska going bankrupt because their workforce is made up of 70% of undocumented immigrants....Nebraska is a total trump state...lolrtf.\n\nCanada may hit hard times, but Americans DO NOT KNOW or truly understand us.\nOur connection is deeply rooted in decency and has for hundreds of years. \n\nHow will the world ever trust the US with integrity or honor when it breaches its own agreements.\n\nI believe the US will likely be damaged beyond repair from this antichrist.

What Trump did not live up to his word to you. I know, we feel your pain too. We are going to feel it for the next 3 years 10 months and 12 days.

All this crap about Fentanyl is a joke. What about the Sackler family and oxycotin??? What about that cost to the American people?!! They still haven’t paid out.\n\nThis fentanyl trafficking is a front.. \n\nYou know you’re dealing with a cluster b nightmare when… if u think about them you become enraged and your blood boils

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.

I hope that somebody in the administration who can make sure that the country doesn’t fall apart before the next four years is over, who knows what’s gonna happen at this point?

JUSTIN TRUDEAU IS ACTUALLY THE HATED MAN IN CANADA EVEN HE NEED 10 BODYGUARDS TO MOVE AROUND FOR HIS DAILY LIFE AS PM OF CANADA WOULD CANADA CITIZENS THAT DEPENDING ON AMERICA FOOD TO SAVE MONEY AND STAY ALIVE NOW TARIFFS ON AMERICA GOODS HOW HAPPY CANADA PEOPLE BE WITH HOA HAS MORE POWER THAN HIS OWN CITIZENS.POOR CANADA CITIZENS MAY CHOOSE CHEAP FOOD TO SURVIVE JUSTIN TRUDEAU EVIL DICTATORSHIP.\nJUSTIN TRUDEAU HAS DONE NOTHING GOOD FOR CANADA AND HIS CITIZENS EVEN HIS EXISTENCE ON THE WORLD LIKE A BULB SWITCH HE THERE AND THE NEXT HE GONE FOR YEARS NOTHING FAMOUS GOOD HE DONE RECORDED BY INTERNATIONAL REPORTERS 0%.\nCANADA HAS ITS OWN HOMELESS PEOPLE WILD ON CANADA STREET BUT INTERNATIONAL PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT.

so many lies and half truths i don’t even know where to start. ladies and gentlement you are being lied to by a professional liar from canada

aren't there ANY possible legal ways at all to stop them in their tracks?, english is not my first language and i learnt it late in life, but words like impeachment come to mind, along with criminal offences, felony charges for corruption, espionage and so on. Street protests?, mass complainings to your representatives?... i do not really know what you can do in your country (i'm in europe), but please do something, get your country back!... thanks for reading

Drumpf's best friend is the Russian monster.he is screwing American business people,farmers,builders, and every other American citizen.Thank you for speaking the truth,his worshippers will not believe you,but the rest of us know what is truth.\n And I love Canada,God bless and protect you all.I did not vote for the orange menace,he is now trying to blame the effects of his decisions on the previous administration.

This situation is far worse for Canada than for the U.S. Trudeau knows this. History is being made. I would say this will be viewed either as one of the smartest political moves by a U.S president, or perhaps one of the dumbest. Time will tell. One thing I would say is never underestimate president Trump. Every time he has been undermined, underestimated, and disregarded he has came back on top. Welcome to 2025

Already know that our gov doesn’t care about the people

I know this is goin g to be tough on us but I will not buy this month.

As an American, this is beyond embarrassing!!! Please know that not every American is like Trump….a majority of us aren’t!

i know PRIME MINISTER I AM THINKING ABOUT MOVING TO CANADA I LOVE Y'ALL AND HAVE FAMILY THERE

Papa, why can't we eat McDonald's every night no more?\nWell billybob, most of your big mac ingredients comes from Mexico, so the price went up 25%.\nCan we still get lunch from KFC Papa?\nNo billybob, most of the chicken comes from Mexico too...\nWhy is this happening Papa?\nI don't know billybob, just be happy our Tennessee whiskey is suddenly reaaly cheap and they are giving it away...see, Pastor Donnie is Making America Drunker Again...\n\nSatirical comments from Australia.

Justin knows all about policies that raise costs on essentials, harm national security, and impede access to natural resources, and harm families. he's been doing it for years. When he says we are all going to pull together he means he is going to raise taxes.

Trump knows America is in trouble. Trying to blame other countries

On behalf of the unintelligent/uneducated Americans in our country, I am so sorry for how all this is affecting you (Canada) and other countries in our world. Please know our current Government is not a reflection of all of us—many of us are just as mortified and disturbed by what is going on?

AWESOME CANADA KNOWS TRUMP & FRIENDS CORRUPT AS FARK FROM THE TOP DOWN ? TRUMPS 4 THEMSELVES NOT THE PEOPLE BACKING UP PUTIN CORRUPT AS FARK

Want Canadians know many of us are grieved by what is done by this so called but Not president and the tariffs that have been put on our neighbor. We mourn and feel grieved over the time he has been in office- the lies, lack of charity to others while still using ‘God’…shocked that nothing seems to be able to stop this… We are sorry for the hurt that’s been caused to Canada- And just know that some of us here are very grieved by what we see happening to many people in the last six months—- please forgive and pray for us!!! Our nation is in real trouble.

I am so impressed with Trudeau for speaking directly to we American people, and bypassing the trump administration that he knows has its own mission not for our good.

Hey CNN. Nobody trusts you any longer. We all know the truth as other more reliable sources are out there. Give up on the lies or go bust. ?

Donald doesn’t understand the concept of tariffs. He sounds dumb and everyone who doesn’t understand tariffs, please know we the consumer are the victims of the most dumbest decision.

Canada already had high tariff's on us and Canada knows they can't win this trade war. Should have worked better helping with the border, Trudeau lies out his ass constantly. His own people have called him out for his corruption.

This is exactly why Putin did everything in his power to make sure Trump will be selected. Divide et Impera. Russians and Chinese definitely know how to do it. They know the only way USA and west will crumble is FROM INSIDE.

if Mr. Trudeau only knew how embarrassed a vast majority of the civil minded thinking portion of our country really is about this current administration he would know how we appreciate his eloquence, actual truth and steadfast determination to stand up against the atrocities being spewed in all directions right now..hopefully we can rise up to the challenge facing us and rid the world of the lying, duplicitous corruption systemic from the ground up in this current MAGA quagmire..

I buy a lot from Canada. It’s True Trump doesn’t know how a tariff works. I’m already getting the emails that prices are going up from my distributors.

Unfortunate! Trump\nIs not my government not my president! Please know that we are more upset and angry than everyone else! Every 70 million democratic voters are crying out and saying Trump will destroy everything, and it’s already happening! The only thing we can say is: “we told you so MAGA believers”

Of course it has nothing to do with fentanyl. Everyone knows that, even most Americans know this. Trump is in bed with Putin, Putin wants to build an Empire again, wants his USSR back, and Trump wants to compete with him by building an American empire. Trump and Putin are pushing WW3, nobody else!!!

The only thing I know for sure about Trump is that he would gleefully scorch the whole of the Earth, if he could be king of the ashes. \nHe is a disgrace. History will show him as a stain that has forever tarnished our reputation worldwide.

Just to let you know it has been barely two month since he came to office \n\nGod it’s gonna be fun 4 years

If you want to know what Trumps up to you'd have to ask Putin.

Nobody know what this guy done to canada and the comments here is supporting him its like crazy hahahah

We know our politicians and president are liars. Unfortunately MAGA is stupid. Yes I said it out loud. Stupid.

People of Canada, please know that many, many Americans are not in favor of our President's actions, policies or behaviors. Buy Canadian!!

The dictator TRUMP IS TRYING TO BRAKE CANDA…to try to take over in the future??? Trump is a know-it-all men! Pride precedes a fall?

For everyone kissing justin trudeaus ass in the comments... he has perrty much destroyed canada.. I know.. I live here
