President Trudeau, thank you for speaking directly to us. There are many Americans who disagree with him and his administration. We are doing our parts here. \n\nPresident Trump and his MAGA Republicans who sold their souls to aligned with a dictator. \n\nAs for the MAGA supporters, gee thanks.

What I wouldn't give to have a leader even half as good as Prime Minister Trudeau currently heading my shitshow of a country as opposed to its malignant, selfish buffoon of a president to whom this speech is directed.

Speaking the truth. I'ma nationalistic American and Canadian PM Trudeau is speaking the truth that we all wanna hear after what our own US president did to ruin America and make our lives worse. I fully support Canada now.

Trudeau should shut his trap!! \nHe is the worst president Canada ever had

And Trump's response will be .. Trudeau is a low life because trudeau.s hair is mussed a bit on the left side... that is the mentality of President Donald j Trump.

I am absolutely go for Canada...\nAmericans must unite to pulldown Trump..hes not a good President for american People..\nSalute and our Full Support to Canada to Prime Minister Trudeau

Trudeau for US PRESIDENT!

As a foreigner myself , It’s actually a pleasure listening to a political leader and actually believing what he is saying \nWell done President Trudeau \nI wish my country politicians have that professionalism level

PM Trudeau, this president of ours does not speak for half of our country. Many of us are sickened and disgusted by his choices. We are stuck with someone we do not want! My hope is that people will remember it is Trump making these choices. Please do not hold everything against all of the American people because we are NOT ALL supporting him.

Very well Spoken Mr Trudeau!\nYou are a Real Leader!\nAmericans have the Dumbest President ever in History!

Terrific! If Trudeau would always talk and act like this, he'd for sure still be prime minister. Sadly he doesn't. \nBut this was such a great speech, wonderful. The complete opposite of the screaming, ranting, insulting, hating and nearly exploding blood preasure patient orange the u.s. calls president.

Trudeau were you? Would you ever consider being president of United States after you're done in Canada?❤

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a rational President like Trudeau? Can someone explain to me why Trump is making enemies of everyone but Russia and North Korea?

TRUDEAU FOR PRESIDENT OF NORTH AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!

I wish we had a president like Trudeau.

Damn, wish Trudeau was our president instead of the idiot we have in the US.

Oh no what are we gonna do? Canada and their laughing stock leader are angry that our president is flexing and not thinking twice about the repercussions. There is absolutely nothing you can do to us that we can't do back 100 times worse. Someone get Trudeau some tissue please. He looks like he's about to cry. Girly Man.

Make That Make Sense?? Boom\nHelp Us Canada ?? This is Not My President not Even Close to an Administration…We ❤️??!! Go Red Wings??I don’t want this either????????further I’m in Detroit there is NO fentanyl!! That’s old news…Kudos Trudeau?

I’m a NEVER Trumper. A ?in a red state. Trump does not represent me nor my morals and convictions. I was physically ill watching him and his pup Vance absolutely bully President Zelenskyy. I’m sorry that this is what half of the country voted for. I’m disgusted that I had family and friends who refused to see him for who he is. I’m so sorry to all those who didn’t vote for him yet we will also be aligned with him. I greatly appreciate you Prime Minister Trudeau. Thank you to those in other countries that realize not all Americans wanted this. Not all Americans bowed a knee to him. Thank you for your kindness.

Our president can barely speak English and can't string together 2 thoughts without sounding like a fool. I'm very impressed with Trudeau.

I wish we could have a President like Trudeau here in the USA fighting for his people.

Thank You for speaking the truth as an American I am proud of you Mr President Trudeau ?????????

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for this wonderfully done speech full of facts and common sense! It's too bad that our own president is not even 1/10th as capable as you.

There has to be someone like Trudeau in America that could be president. Maybe the US should become Canada, not the other way around. I would vote for that.

Trudeau for next president of the United States.

To be clear for others, when Trudeau says 'they chose this' and pretty much every other time he uses the word 'they'... He means DJT, the moskow-mole currently occupying the office of US presidency. I stand with our allies, I hope in the coming years they can forgive us. Every day the moskow-mole is president makes it harder for these scars to mend. Wake up America and remember your founding by removing kings/dictators.

The difference between a lunatic and Trump is that within Trump must be at least 10 more other lunatics. Sad for the American people who will suffer from this trade war. And Mr Trudeau speaks like a respectfull president from a civilized country. How is it possible that lunatics can become a president from the USA?

Trump simply asked to stop the illegals and fentenal coming to our country threw yours!! He asked you and you said you would, the same as mexico. Apparently your operations are not working for one reason or another! HONOR YOUR COMMITMENT! Mr. Trudeau simply call president Trump and discuss the numbers and come up.with a new idea on how to stop this agreed upon situation! Montana Rick.

Well done President Trudeau. Canada is truly a strong nation. I am very impressed. I am horryfied about whats going on in the U.S

Trudeau I wish you were our president instead of the dumb sh*t head that we have! You made an agreement with Trump then he turns and stabs you in the back. That is what he planned to do to Ukraine. The drugs are made in the USA and sold all over . We know this how ever Republikkkans have to have someone to blame other than their own children that are buying and using the drugs.

I thought Trudeau resigned ? I stand with my US president ❤

Trudeau, my brother, My words cannot begin to express to you or your people just how genuinely sorry I am for my country's utterly repulsive and inexcusable behavior throughout the last month and a half and for the downright cruel, hostile treatment you've suffered at the hands of the most incompetent, greedy, poorly educated, narcissistic, racist, sexist, xenophobic buffoon to ever preside over the United States. Not only is Donald Trump an overly privileged, pathetic, whiney crybaby who literally folds his arms, stomps his feet, and launches an all out temper tantrum whenever he doesn't get his way or when someone else has the TV remote, he is a dangerously delusional, high stakes risk taker who wouldn't think twice about using his own mother or child as a human body shield if he thought his life were in danger. There is absolutely no value, principle, moral or ethic he wouldn't betray without hesitation if he suspects there is anything at all to be gained - you know, the type of guy who would poison the entire neighborhood in order to hoard all the complimentary tampons and lip gloss samples from his neighbors' mail boxes just to ensure that he got first dibs on everything before anyone else. Incidentally, he is also the same type of guy who pockets all the flavored mini coffee creamers from the gas station and all the paper bed sheets and Qtips from the doctor's office. I wouldn't put it past him to steal the waitresses' tips off tabletops on his way out the door upon leaving McDonald's. In fact, I would bet everything that he steals the donation jars for Jerry's Kids at the local supermarket. I mean, its already a given that he is likely the guy who filed a lawsuit a few summers back against a sweet, innocent littls FOUR year old boy for having a lemonade stand on property not zoned for commercial use. If it wasn't Trump then I'm sure it's only because he was too busy ordering the National Guard to power hose and pepper spray the 30 or so elderly nuns who had been distributing bottled water to folks demonstrating in support of Black Lives Matter on the hottest day of the year. Satisfied in his victorious battle against the nuns - 9 of whom had been hospitalized for critical injuries including the 92 year old Mother Superior who suffered massive brain bleed, swelling and concussion due to the excessive force of the power hose and an 87 year old nun who lost permanent sight in one eye due to the pepper spray - Trump had the nerve to pose for a publicity shot in front of the church while holding a Bible - UPSIDE DOWN - and scrunching and contorting his face into that hideous trademark scowl he does ever so naturally. Yep. This is the man my fellow Americans chose to represent our nation as President - a man who beats up 90 year old nuns and imposes 25% tax hikes to our ONLY FRIEND in the entire world simply for refusing to accept his invitation for statehood. I mean, come on, Trudeau, is that really asking too much of you? Was it really worth bruising Donny's fragile little ego and sending him into a fit of rage? (Seriously, though, I suspect he really does feel as though you are in the wrong for refusing to humor his delusions and thus embarrassing him in front of all his Russian dictator and Ku Klux Klan buddies.)\nOnce again, I do humbly apologize and I promise I will support whatever actions you choose to take and I will help you in any way you deem is best. \nMuch love and peace always, \nMs. S. Delois Jackson

? Canada President Trudeau for taking a stand against this two headed beast in the U.S. Trump and Musk are monsters. They don't care who they hurt. They will eat their own babies.\n\nI am a black woman who lives in the U.S. who did not vote for Trump. Most Americans are not on board with these new deals against all of our allies.\n\nOur allies are having to take drastic measures against the U.S. because the people who voted for Trump were racist or just idiots and now we're all in the same boat who will suffer.\n\nTrump can never be trusted and the rest of his cronies.\n\nThis is going to be hard for all of us but we all will make it. Black people have always had to make a way out of no way.

I'm with you Canada. Tell Donald Duck what is happening! I applaud you Prime Minister Trudeau, I wish the U.S. so called president was half as smart as you.

Not telling why Canada was imposed with 25% tariffs . President Trump told you Mr. Trudeau 30 days ago if you did not put your military on the border to keep illegal immigrants from crossing into the United States he would do this. So you were warmed! Do not get up there and lie! We voted for President Trump to close our borders cause when he campaigned he said he would and he's sticking to his promise.

Canadian says that President Trump should punish Trudeau for running his mouth.

Love you President Trudeau. I wish you were not leaving. Canada and the rest of the world need people like you to overcome the destruction of America. We in New Zealand need people just like you to stand up to Trump and his criminal republicans. Please re-think about leaving.

Trudeau ❤❤❤❤❤ you’re the true leader, you should be our president.

Prime Minister Trudeau has always been a reliable source for truth, but now that he has referred to President Trump as “smart,” I don’t know…

Wow. The president of one country insults the president of another country. And one who is twice as old as Trudeau. What rude people.

As a Canadian, \n\nTrudeau is stepping down because he is hated by the majority of this country. He has suspended parliament for his parties own special interest, making it it impossible to properly respond to anything. \n\nTrudeau does not speak for Canada. He’s the reason we’re in this mess. You Americans do not want Trudeau as your president he has ruined this country.

This is leadership, devoid of self-interest, bigotry, cowardice, or division. It is hard to be misrepresented by “Donald”, who is desecrating what it means to be an American. Prime Minister Trudeau’s speech is inspirational and would fill me with fighting spirit if I were a Canadian. “Donald” contributed the divisions in our country and now he is isolating us from our allies. As Americans, we are stuck in a relationship with an over narcissist. Being American stays alive in every one of us who upholds the ideals of our country. A president is a civil servant, so he is our employee. He does not behave like an employee and as such, he should be fired. It is what “Donald” would do. ??‍♂️

The US needs a president that can inspire the confidence that Trudeau does for his people. It’s about optics.

Trudeau spoke directly yo Trump, 'you are dumb' ! As POTUS, you are just a dumb President.

Can we please have Justin Trudeau as our president here in the United States!

Sane Americans appreciate our northern neighbor and support whatever tactics, and strategies, you must employ to deal with the ass hat that is our President. I’m quite envious of the articulate, honest, strong leadership of Mr. Trudeau. It’s the antithesis of the current President of the U.S. I prefer to not say his name out loud so as to not throw up.

God bless PM Trudeau ?\n\nGod bless you, President Zelensky ? \n\nTrump, Shame on you !\nYou abandon Ukraine and Europe just to lick Putin and get some business in Russia !\nYou have no shame ! ! \n\nIsrael, be prepared !\nTrump is Judas !\nSomeday, in the near future,\nrich Arab states will offer Trump\nsome good business, \nsurely Trump will abandon Israel !\nand will take sides with Hamas, Hizballah, Arabs, Iran, Turkey ! !\n\nTaiwan, be prepared !\nTrump is Judas !\nSomeday, in the near future,\nXi Jinping will offer Trump some good business, surely Trump will abandon Taiwan !\nand will take side with China ! !

Trudeau, focus on fixing your own country first. The high taxes, the massive carbon taxes that Canadians do not want, and the rising grocery and housing prices are becoming unbearable. Stop shifting blame onto President Trump. While he works hard for his country, you should be doing the same for yours.

Too bad Trudeau can’t come to America and be our president. Funny how easy it is to believe every word that he speaks. Not true for any American president. Except in the movies. Americans got what they voted for. Idiots

Crazy how the laws and societal pressures preventing us from speaking critically about our own president has forced Americans to rely on Canada to speak for them. Thank you Trudeau for keeping freedom of speech alive
