I wonder what does Putin have on Trump? At least we know what Elon does because he bought Trump’s presidency.

I’ll say first that I’m a Canadian…\n\nTrudeau and his government has been in power almost 10years and in that time Canada has gotten progressively worse—the drug crisis; immigration; inflation etc etc. I find it shameful that it took a foreign leader (Trump) to ignite changes within my country. Are the tariffs fair to Canada? No, absolutely not but Trump is not the president of Canada—right, wrong or indifferent he’s looking out for the US. \n\nJustin Trudeau is a corrupt lame duck prime minister who technically resigned a month ago. \n\nTrump will listen to Canada and respect Canada when a new government is place

I’m sorry but calling Trump smart is the dumbest thing that was said in that speech. Trump is anything but smart, he’s the dumbest President the states have ever had.

Please don't assume all Americans are into this crazy plan and man called Trump. He is not my President, never was, never will be. I am so sorry that this is happening for no good reason.

I just realized that the USA has become like Russia in yet another way: We cannot trust our president's words.\nAlso: That woman behind Trudeau looks genuinely proud.

God bless president Trump and God bless America ??.

trump is a convicted rapist, felon, tax cheat and TRAITOR! he's committed espionage with putin NON-STOP for over 9 years. HE ISN'T PRESIDENT! he MUST be removed ASAP or we'll be in a civil war by SUMMER! A SHOOTING WAR! this is what trump's criminality and treason has done to OUR COUNTRY! he must be arrested - held wothout bond - AND CONVICTED as the domestic terrorist and traitor and international threat THAT HE IS! its GODDAMNED time u. s. law be enforced! STOP allowing that fascist run roughshod over EVERY federal law imaginable!

American Here. Let’s Go, Canada!!! I urge you to do everything you can to bring our president to his knees. Double down on anything that will hurt #47. The sooner he bends his knees, the sooner we get him out of office. He’s a liar and facts mean nothing to him. He sold us all out to Russia. Give him the worst you can come up with. We are with you. ??????????????

Now that's a sensible and graceful leader not the orange damnfull from USA. total shame on you Trump, you are nor president, boooooooooo!!!

As a 60 years old french Canadian I have all the reason to not love Trudeau, because he remind me how his father treated us, never vote for him, but today I saw a men (finally) standing up and take the lead for our country. Yes Canada is still my country and I like the way he directly adress to your president. I have so many American friends on both side( D and R ) and I hope they understand that what he said is not directly apply to United State citizen, wake up America before it s to late.

I'm from the US and I'm standing with Canadian people. Our current president is insane billionaire never know how to protect and lead our country.

You have been taking advantage of the USA. noe that Americans want trade parity, you complain. you are abusive. Speaking of Russia to undercut America, you forget your suppottbto theSikhs terorits. toy have been ponging on theccmricans, nd now that aAmerican President, best in many years, has called off your taking advantage, you cry. GROW UP. YOU GOT THERE YOUR FTHER WAS PM. BUY CONT NOT GET MOB IN GHA MARKETS. THATY ISA HOW SMALL YOU ZR.

Love it. F**k you USA, may your future be as bad as the President you voted for.

I think President Trump should make America great again on it's enemies not allies. Get some around the country and to help make it greater again tho

This Canadian president is a leader.!!! Canada wont stand alone with out getting world wide support USA have been a superpower for decades and a true democratic country that the world admired. Today this have come to a end. 2025 will go down in history for the year when Americas greatness and No1 econemy ended. The respect and the trust for USA under Trump is long gone!!! For Trump to put tarifs on canada just to make them suffer so trump can get Canada as its 51 state is mindblowing. Trump aint putting those tarifs on Canada because of fentanyl when it comes from china. Tarifs on China is another story but that will hit the US market to and companys. I cant belive the americans are just swallowing this whole without doing anything or can a president do whatever damage he wants without consequenses?

Canada we're sorry, our president is a Moron. Sincerely, Americans

Let me translate For the Maga folks. Blu states will not be affected by this mostly red states your president 47 is screwing you over.

Go Canada!!\n Europe is 100% with you..\nRespect to President Trudeau and all Canadians!!\nPs... Bet they won.t show this on Fox!

Well done Trudeau speaking for your country Canada just the same as President Zelensky is speaking up for his country and people ❤

Canada are lucky to have this president at this time. As for the American people, you voted Trump in and you are now paying the price.

how come we can't have a president who speaks logically and succinctly without digressing into Hunter Biden blah blah blah???

Isolationism won't serve USA well. Unless the president wants to drag the country into the dark ages where people die of diseases; natural calamities with the absence of any warning systems; women die during childbirth; and well if you still manage to survive, be prepared to defend yourself in the event of a school shooting! How ridiculous.

I am from Indiana and am horrified by Trump real Americans stand with our TRUE allies Canada and Ukraine and the rest of Europe NOt Russia. Tnot our President

Every day I now get up and never felt more depressed about what Trump is doing not just to Canada, Ukraine, Europe. Wake up America before it’s too late. Surely you can’t support a so called president that if he is let will take Greenland, Gaza , Canada . I hope not, stand firm . He is as bad as Putin in my eyes!

Trump just declared another 25% RECIPROCAL. The worst president in history twice. Thrice Impeached?

Stupidest president in the history of this nation. He is making Biden look like a star.

We stand wirh Mr President TRUMP, Canada has been taking advantage of us thanks to biden but not anymore

we are proud of what our president is doing and stand behind him 100% keep doing the right thing keeping people out of our country and maybe he'll loosen the tariff

President Trudeau, I can’t for the life of me figure out why anyone would call “the little tramp” smart…everyone knows even his professors at school said he was dummer than a ROCK!! This just proves him right. We stand with you and Europe and the Ukrainian people in hopes that Putin goes straight to hell. As well as the little tramp and his tiny little republican playmates.

At what point does the International Olympic Committee and other international sports bodies step in and ban the USA from the upcoming Olympics? \nTrump has made his position clear that he feels Russia is not at fault for anything that has happened in Ukraine. The debacle that went on in the Oval office on February 28th was not only disgusting, but it proved to me that the president is not willing to be a peaceful friend to anyone on a personal or global level. Today's tariffs only cements that proof. The framework is in place to make a strong case to ban USA from the Olympics and current future international sports events. I realize this would impact many good people, but a country hell bent on hating those fighting so hard for their freedom has no place on any playing field right now.

What the heck does Putin have on Donnie? Was it pedophilia on Epstein's Island? was it sex with boys and girls? Was it the mythical pee tapes? Whatever it is it has to be big enough to get Donnie to break with all the US's traditional allies which has to be making Putin rub his hands with glee. How far does this adjudged rapist, and 34 count felon that the US decided it wanted to make it's President, have to go before someone steps in and say that Trump represents a clear and \npresent danger to the economic and military security of the world? His administration forced New York's director of the FBI to resign because that man did not want to give up the names of personnel who investigated the Jan 6 insurrectionists. He put a known Russian apologist, Tulsi Gabbard, in charge. He has frozen aid to a country actively fighting for it's very survival against an aggressive and expansionist Russia. He applied tariffs against Canada and threatens the same against Europe., he has banned the freedom to protest in colleges though he freed people imprisoned for rising in actual insurrection against the Government. Dictatorship comes in steps isolation from the world and suppression of freedoms are but two. The free world weeps for what the US is becoming under this current administration.

OH JUSTIN YOU ARE SO RIGHT THIS IS VERY PERSONAL YOU MADE FUN OF HIM AND HE IS TAKING REVENGE, BUT PRESIDENT CHUMP OBVIOUSLY CANNOT SEPERATE BUSINESS FROM HIS PERSONAL PROBLEMS, THE WHOLE WORLD DOES NOT LIKE THIS GUY WHEN HIS TERM IN OFFICE IS OVER THE ONLY TWO PLACES THAT HE WOULD BE WELCOME IN IS HIS HOME COUNTRY AND RUSSIA AND I AM NOT SO SURE ABOUT RUSSIA I WROTE ON YOUTUBE BEFORE THAT THIS GUY IS SINKING THE AMERICAN FLEET FAST AND MORE THOROUGHLY THAN THE JAPANESE DID AT PEARL HAROR MAN AT THIS MOMENT THE TWO WORST NATIONALITIES TO BE IS AMERICAN AND RUSSIAN THEY BOTH ARE CAUSING GREAT HARM NOT ONLY TO THE WORLD, BUT MOSTLY TO THEIR OWN PEOPLE AND COUNTRIES TALK ABOUT SELFISH LEADER'S. PRESIDENT CHUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT ONE THING WITH THE LEADER'S WE HAVE NOW IT IS NOT IF WE WILL ENGAGE EACH OTHER IN A WORLD WAR, BUT WHEN THE LEADER'S WE HAVE NOW ARE STEERING THE HUMAN RACE IN THAT DIRECTION AND PRESIDENT CHUMP YOU AND PRESIDENT POUTINE WILL BE CHIEFLY RESPONSIBLE. THE LEADER'S WE HAVE ELECTED TODAY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST OF THE MISERY IN THE WORLD TODAY. LEADER'S LIKE PRESIDENT KENNEDY, GHANDI, CHURCHILL ETC. TODAY WE HAVE LEADER'S LIKE TRUDEAU WHO CREATED MISERY AND DIVISION IN CANADA THE FORE MENTIONED LEADER'S ALREADY METIONED ARE DIRECTED BY PERSONAL GREED AND AMBITION AND HYPOCRACY. PRESIDENT ZELINSKY I AM AFFRAID LEADER'S LIKE YOU THAT HAVE COURAGE INTEGRITY AND STRENGHT ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN I AM SORRY TO TELL YOU BUT I THINK IN REALTY YOU STAND ALONE NOT MANY LEADER'S TODAY PUT COUNTRY AND COUNTRYMEN AND WOMEN BEFORE THEIR PERSONAL GREED AND AMBITION, BUT IF YOU SUCCEED YOU WILL BE STRONGER AND FAR BETTER OFF GOD BLESS

I always like Canada president, and i am from the US. I don't agree with Trump, but he has taken over our government, and no one seems to be doing anything about this!!

I’m Canadian but lived in the US for 12 years. Trump keeps moving the goal post. This is bullying, plain and simple. Do not yield, Canada. You yield to a bully and he’ll keep taking and taking. I know my people of the north are strong and they know the hardships ahead are worth it for the greater good. But I also know my friends here in the US are largely in Canada’s favor and for that I am thankful. President Trump does not speak for all Americans.

It is unbelievable how president of the US flirts with dictatorial regimes and challenges his partners. What in the world has happened. Just like Jim said Trump is a rabid dog.

Bro just focus on canada....lmao...I don't think foreign leaders should be speaking for Americans. You're not Americans. We both know why this is happening,,,you're country censors speech,,The Trumps administration do not like that one bit. As long as Canada is led by a liberal (meaning liberal/communist/marxist/woke policies being passed),,it's a threat to national security to the United States (If a republican is President). It just beats the logic of being an American.

As a 20 year veteran i am embarrassed of my president and the republican whom are afraid to support the citizens of the United States over Russia

President Donald Trump is listening to worried about Putin, he is listening for worry of the Russian people! ? HUMANITY

Trump is not my president. He betrayed our country

The Americans that know facts support President Trump. \nThose that don't support President Trump are Democrats, ignorant or just stupid people. \nCNN is known to be a place for them to spew their crap. \nTo me CNN is like a place for pigs to wallow in their pigshit. Wallow on.

Got to love how Justin has to talk to Trump. Like a kid. We have done big things and you're a smart boy. Got to praise the cult leader to make him happy. I truly wish Justin was our president. What a great person and he speaks clearly and is smart. He isn't annoying or an idiot like trump. We truly live in the stupid timeline. Canada is going to get their items from Europe and Asia and South America. So congratulations America we are about to lose so much. Trump is making us weaker.

Sigh ? … American here, I didn’t vote for him. Canada stay strong, I support you standing up for yourself and support you standing up to a bully. Honestly I’m just baffled by everything that keeps happening. It’s only been a month and I wonder what the next 4 years will look like. I don’t know what to do. I voted, that was my bit of voice, but the majority apparently wanted this. They made excuses for him, over and over again, and now we all have to suffer the consequences. He always told us who he was, so I don’t want to hear excuses if you voted for him! I’m pissed off, as well as sad.\nUkraine, my prays go out to you. The way your president was treated in the White House was abominable. Please know not all Americans are delusional enough to think what The Trump Dump did was ok in any way. Now we all just have to survive this shit storm as best we can, and stand up where, and when we are able.

Thank you, Mr. Trudeau. The dumbest trade war started by the dumbest American president.

americans r so dumb they cant even recognize that article 14 sec 3 of the constitution disqualified conald from holding a federal job. they are so dumb they wont even question why hes disqualified. They are so dumb they dont even know that conald is not a president, and they keep calling him president. They are so dumb they would let a rapist, pedo, thief, insurrectionist, conman, felon into their house even after knowing hes this immoral. how dumb is dumb is just limitless after witnessing the current state of america

Mr Trudeau should be the USA president!

Trump will go down as the most disgusting, unamerican president the U.S. has ever had.

Welcome to the reality that it's NOT Trump who is president of the US - it's Putin !!!!

Can someone translate this message to that simpleton orange clown you people call your president. Some of those big words may be hard for Donald Tramp to understand.

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

Why can’t we have attractive, intelligent, professional, age appropriate, public servant Presidents anymore?
