Arguments doesn't work, trump knows what he is doing, but he doesn't care. He wants to become a Dictator! He likes Putin! You only can act very strong and doesn't think it helps if you be nice to him. He is a psychopath! He wants to hurt everyone than he feels strong.

You act as if Canada hasn’t been putting tariffs on American products for decades. Remove all your tariffs and the US will too. Oh and pay us for our military protection. It’s really going to suck for you guys.

Hes a fucking coward, acts tough in front off the cameras but will fold within a week you wait

I 100% believe Trump is owned by Putin. He has something big on him I am sure. Something that will injure his huge ego, his manhood. He's acting nuts and the billionaires are with the billionaires throughout the world. Putin is one.

The Governor of Canada is trying to act tough. Fix your own country instead of blaming Trump.

From Europe: A bunch of assholes in the White House want's to act like strong guys. In real they are weak and serving a narcissist psychopath who is killing the us economy and international relations. The American people will soon wake up to find themselves ripped off.

The fentanyl BS from Trump is so insulting. The US wastes insane amount of time and money catching and jailing LSD, weed, and shrooms users and acts like Canada's dedicated focus on dangerous hard drugs isn't good enough. He should mind his stupid war on harmless drugs instead of attacking people tackling the truly dangerous ones

A class act. THAT is diplomacy.\n\nFirm, but fair. Calling a spade a space, and calling autocracy out for what it is.

It seems like he’s acting here

It's all a script at the top. I mean, give me a break. It's so obvious. \nThis is all written by someone else. They just act it out.

Dumb Americans being bamboozled by their government, Trump, Musk, and Zelensky. \n\nThere is NO rare earth elements in Ukraine. ?\n\nThis is another coverup and plan to make Americans THINK they are getting something in return for the hundreds of billions that's been washed in Ukraine, while the government spends billions more tax dollars to have US boots in Ukraine and act like they're doing something in rare earth. A big fake show and more snake oil. ?? ? ?? ? \n\nFYI: Russia helped end the US Civil War and ensured the north won. Purchasing Alaska was the cover up for giving Russia $7.2 million for their help in the war. \n?? ?

Why didn’t he secure the border long time ago? Why did he wait for trump to impose tariffs for him to act on things?

If you take a look at Trump’s business history, you’ll see he bankrupted everything he touched and destroyed everybody in his orbit.\nNow, he is on the verge of destroying the U.S. and its citizens.\nWhat’s more there you need to see or suffer to open your eyes and finally act on to remove - preferably jail - this fckr for all his disgusting actions, lies and the decade long stealing?

I’m a dual citizen of the USA and the UK and have been so disgusted by Trump, he projects evil, he’s smarmy and egotistical. I just don’t understand how many of my American friends act like he’s right up there with God, I just can’t fathom their thinking. It’s all about taking ownership of anything he wants and he bullies until he gets what he wants. I’m sick of people saying Pres Zelenskyy needs to apology to Trump, Zelenskyy did nothing wrong, he was calm and polite. Vance and Trump immediately went in on the attack, both bullies! Then to moan about Zelenskyy offending the Oval Office by not wearing a suit. Have they looked at Musk lately? Don’t know what he’s wearing but it ain’t no suit. During war times leaders often wear combat clothes to show they are with their country and soldiers. I must say I wouldn’t be upset if anyone popped him off! He does need to go.

And now because of trump the terrorists that will be launch for my allies back to us what cause Mass inflation our president is failing us and it's only been 6 weeks wouldn't be surprised if one of his acts magical supporters ends up knocking him off soon

US trying to be partner with Russia while competing against China and threatening Nokor who by the way are Russia's bffs. Is this how america became great before? Isolating himself? America was too busy being nosy with other countries' businesses for decades now they are trying to act like the world cannot live without Uncle Sam.

Calm, composed and clear. What a great speech. This is how presidents should act.

J.T is still a Klaus schwuab WEF tyrant puppet no matter what his act is. stop licking boots people this guy would sell you for $100 in his pocket

Justin Destroyed Canada with his unending foolish spending, taxes and corruption,, said he would step down, shut down the government instead and continued acting as Prime Minister while opposition has been muted. He is not a legitimate leader and his words are empty. He is a drama teacher with a script and does the only thing he knows how. He acts. And now he's acting like the tough guy and that he cares about Canada when after nine years in power, it is clear he didn't. Time to get rid of the globalist and all the others. He is not a decent man.

From Texas, Trump is acting like a 5-year-old child. Canada has always been our closest ally; these tariffs are a slap in the face that will harm not only working class American, but it also spits on generations of close friendship and trust between our countries. This is lunacy. I pray for all of our Canadian friends and for all Americans.

Now this is what a president in a suit looks and acts like. Trump is not a president.

Well, when one of the worlds famous American billionaire's ( Warren Buffet) TELLS YOU that tariffs are an act of war, perhaps you should listen. Trump is going to send millitary aid to Russia, and ask for Russian aid to annex Canada. USA- your sons and daughters are in danger.

Trump and Putin are cut from the same cloth - bullies that think by strong arming people, counties they will submit - not anymore the world sees you and is not taking this ? anymore - on a global level we need to show the bullies of the world that we will stand together in eradicating this kind of behaviour for good and let this be a future warning to any leaders who act in the same way Putin and Trump are acting now. Well done Canada ??

Mr Mini Cuban trying to act tough ... such a Wolly

Thank you to everyone supporting the USA. It is disrespectful, horrific and down right scaryhow this administration is acting.

Canada has been acting as part of US for years, taking orders from the US regardless of Canadian interest, for example arresting Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou per US order. Why not agree to become the 51th state of the US?

another stupid game by USA, just as they did against russia, and failed in Ukraine...the USA is trying to smoke everyone out in Canada and Mexico, and make it one big country, with maybe Greenland scoop up later..Russia doesnt wont more land, just no missiles on its border, like USA didnt want them in Cuba...This world could really be something if we didnt have these old dudes from a bygone era, still wanting to be number one in the world, when we all live on the same planet...They are still scared of Reds under the bed..they have sycceeded in getting rid of Trudeau, he will be gone, just when he is coming to life...The USA is like a rabid dog now, they foam at the mouth thinking they are the leader of the west world, what a joke..they are all liars and cheats, and dont even tell their own public the truth..if only we all settled down and acted like good neighbours, how good the world could be

Trudeau is going out pm of canada.. Transition period yet put his country in conflict w trump direct.\nAnother guy like Zelensky put Ukraine at risk with the dumb act in oval office..\nWhat a dumb speech

The Orange one is NOT smart. Quit acting like he is.

Elon doesn’t like Canada. That’s why Trump is doing this bc his boss told him to? Everyone is acting like they don’t knw WHY?

American here. There are many of us completely disgusted with our government and we are taking to the streets. Our friendship is vital! And don’t let them fool you. They don’t give a shit about Fentynl. It’s just a talking point AKA excuse to act like dicks. We are sorry. Not sure how we are going to get through this.

I thought he resigned lol! His bosses are making him act

stop acting like a teenage girl got ditched by ex bf

Look at mr Fidel Castro over there acting like he gives a shit about his people. No im not a Trump fan all politicians are trash.

As a Southern American Democrat, this is how a REAL LEADER acts, talks, and thinks.

What Trump's need is a spanking from somebody, He acting like a baby

That's the Voter's choice? lets face the consequences of our act? Let's put ourselves in their shoes?

Lame duck leader! Emergency Act was illegal!

So wait I'm confused... Imposing a 25% tax on another country is considered a hostile act, but imposing a 25% tax (or more) on your own citizens is just and fair? I fail to understand the double standard.

Ronald McDonald is a joke. Well done Trudeau, spoken and acted like a true leader ??

the fact this leader thinks that we Americans give a flying fuck what he has to babble about is funny. I as a American am feeling much more hopeful on the action that our president is making is for the better of America and its allies. stay in your lane and stop acting like you can say another country with things that aren't true or aliened to things going on.

Common man, Trudeau is acting like a kid, what is that ? Why did he respond to the raise of taxes ? \nFor me, he should be negocating with Trump administration's, he did not do enought, what a joke.\nI' am from Canada and I need Trudeau to go away ; may be Trump is doing this because Trudeau has done too much against Trump, we need a new administration to talk with Trump.

This is exactly how ALL leaders around the world should be acting & treating Chump-Trump. DJT only understands power, $$, & force; he’s not bright enough nor stable enough to sustain good, healthy, mutually beneficial relationships w/other free, peaceful, reasonable countries such as Canada. \n\nJust one thing Trudeau should add to his comments to Donny:\n“U claim to be a player, but I fucked Ur wife!”\n… bc we all think he did. ?

Watch out Trudeau, Donny might send his little boy JD to act tough and lecture you. \n\nVance and Trump are pathetic jokes of men.

Don’t worry about us mind your own country ? you fckng acted too late ?

This is not anti-American, it is just fighting back from an unnecessary trade war. It does however break my heart because many Canadians have family on the U.S. side. I know it would also break my father’s heart as he grew up in New England and had a lifetime affection for the U.S. I despise politics and have not been a proud Canadian for a few years but I have to admit that this speech is getting me going again. Canada needs to get its act together and rebuild its military, not to fend off the U.S. but to hold its own should other countries decide we are ripe for the picking. I want U.S.-Canada relations to be tight again. We’re neighbor. We will have our disagreements and that’s fine but these trade wars will hurt everyone and, if it lasts, may leave lasting grievances.

He sounds very manipulative. And like he's having a temper tantrum. He can miss me with trying to play on people's emotion and act like Canada cares for Americans. Canada doesn't even want this man. All you trump haters and those who don't do research and believe the media are desperately trying so hard to see light and positivity where it done exist. What can anyone take away that America doesn't have right now. 70% of the population is damn near homeless and the avg job pays 14$ a hr. We already can't afford food way before trump got elected if our president thinks this is best then trust him\nWe want to much quick solutions. It's going to take a fight to make America great again ❤ time is everything. You can't expect no one to wave a magic wand and undo 12 yrs of democratic chaos. We have people that don't understand their gender. For years America has been every other countries sugar daddy! ENUFF. I SAY MORE TARRIFS❤

This is how a true leader speaks and acts. I grew up in Buffalo too. Canada is my second home. I stand with Canada,

Can someone ask Trump why he's acting as if he was a Russian asset?
