Caaaaareful tough guy. Like Trump told Zalinsky .....you have ZERO cards. Trudeau has been trying to ignite hatred against the Trump party since day one. Trying to look tough in front of Canadians. Then he goes to Marlago and sucks Trumps dyck and leaves eith his tail between his legs. Socialist leaders are all done. Their politics are dead. Leftists have destroyed everything in their paths for 70 years now. The only people left that are.....left.....is the Governments and the LGBT

Methinks, Mr. Nice Guy is tired of putting up with Trump's B.S. And I honestly don't blame him (Trudeau not Trump.)

Now Trudeau is a tough guy ???

Trudeau doesn't not impress me at all. That eexactly what Trump want and that will hurt both sides for good. Trudeau must go as well as all the deep state suporting him and al europea country. those guys hurt us more than any trade war through there macabre plitics and decisions along there presidency.

Trudeau acts like tough guy in front of media then goes back to licking Trump’s boots behind the scenes. I’m sure he called Trump after this meeting and agreed to everything Trump wanted him to do.

Trudeau is a dictator. ? dosent this guy fine and throw his own people in prison for using the wrong pronouns for the mentally Ill?

Great press conference ! The one dumb thing Trudeau said is : « Donald you are a very smart guy » ?

And what is Trudeau of all people actually gonna do about anything?? The guy spends more money in elaborate private jet dinners then he does helping his own people

One disagreement Mr Trudeau: Trump is “very smart guy”? Nope. He certainly is “clever” which is what delineates smart from “criminal con man”. Clever is what he uses for his grift, with American citizens and the national stage as his target market, to line his pockets along with the pockets of his cronies, the ultra rich. The bright note is that there is a huge collective of Americans who see Trump for what he is. We are NOT supportive of any of this nonsense since 1/20/2025. Musk/Trump/Vance are an embarrassment we did not vote for. We stand with Ukraine, Canada, and Mexico who echo normal reason.

It's so bad that you have to paint Trump's belly in order not to make things worse just because you're telling the truth.\n\nAnyway, I have a lot of respect for Trudeau, he's a REALLY smart guy. I wish we had him as chancellor in Germany, instead of Darth Merz Vader who unfortunately awaits us here for the next 4 years. But well, one look at the USA is enough to see that it can get much, much, much worse.

All of a sudden Trudeau wants to take care of us, Canadians? What a liar. This guy resigned in January and has lost all credibility for Canadians.

I voted for Trump, but it's hard not to agree with Trudeau on this even though I find this guy to be extremely unpleasant. There's no reason to start trade wars all over the world and in particular with our neighbors. It's one thing to threaten tariffs and a very different thing to actually apply them. If you do it has to be accompanied by a lot of diplomacy so that the other country is not overreacting, but Trump has been super combative prompting our neighbors to respond in kind to save face. While past deals may not have been great for US, this is not the way to handle our differences. Billionaires like Trump and his friends will be fine, but the majority of ordinary folks in the US and Canada will suffer. Very dumb, indeed.

Why this guy still not resign yet? Canada worry about your own Trudeau problems.

Look how Trudeau treated their own native people on their own private land. This guy…?‍♂️

Yet, a majority of Canadians are so full of hatred themselves and want to replace Trudeau with a Trumper named Pierre Poilieve. This is how stupid people are all over the world, this is not just a US thing. The Trump propaganda forced Trudeau to step down for no real reason. He let in too many immigrants yes,,but so did every other world leader, thats it, but enough for the Canada Trumpers to throw away free health care. Trunpers in Ontario just won a landslide with Dictator Doug Ford.\nOnce Pierre Poilieve takes charge we will be paying for healthcare and a 51st state. \nCanadians are making the same mistake due to fake news and propaganda by Trumpers/Truckers. Those Canadians dont want free health care anymore, they want Pierre Poilieve's hate filled agenda over a smart well spoken guy like Trudeau. Just watch and see...Canada is about to f up bad..

American here. Sad and dismayed at all this, hoping my Canadian friends believe that not all of us are on board. Trudeau shines here as a true leader- you guys are fortunate

I like how Trudeau left out all the money we just hand over to Canada. America won’t be bullied anymore with Trump. \nFor all you Democrats, if you guys wouldn’t have paved the way with your “Woke” mandates on everything without civil discourse, Trump wouldn’t have been elected. Democrats showed him how to govern this way and he is not holding back at all. Trump is the fallout from the Democrats and we all will pay for it.

Did Trudeau ( the guy who froze bank accounts of peaceful protestors) just accuse someone else of being a dictator?

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.

You guys are forgetting trudeau is unilaterally hated by all canadians and stepping down ???

Only he wasn't speaking directly to trump. He was speaking to a camera. Pretending to be a tough guy. \nAlso he said Canadians are reasonable and polite... except for the fact that a buncha drunken bostonians still behaved better than every Canadian hockey fan that ever existed a couple weeks ago when the Canadians booed our national anthem. \nF canada. F trudeau what a scumbag.

Do you people even have a clue on how to negotiate or do you accept the first offer that you receive at a car dealership? Stop judging Trump because you're using Biden, Obama, and Clinton as barometers and America was taken advantage of during those administrations. As far as tariffs are concerned, Canada and Mexico have committed troops at their border since Trump initiated tariffs. Canada and Mexico are cutting down the flow of fentanyl into our country since Trump initiated tariffs. Trudeau is talking tough because he came off as weak the last time Trump scolded him. Trudeau is scheduled to meet with Trump in a few days. Why is that? Canada will meet Trump's demands on fentanyl and tariffs; and America will profit in the short and long term. Stop believing the fake news who does nothing but create fake chaos no matter what Trump does. These tariffs do not affect our country in any way over the short term. The only reason that the markets are tumbling is because the fake news wants to create panic when there is none. Same thing with Zelensky. You idiots are rooting for a war to continue because Trump is mean. Zelensky is ready to work for peace because the mean guy yelled at him. Wake up idiots! We need strong leaders not people like Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, and Sanders who only care about their own interests. You'll find out soon enough who's making money off the Ukraine War.

That is really true what Trudeau said. Trump is a smart guy, but he's acting stupid.\n Trump may quite possibly be smoking crack

Mr. Trudeau you made a mistake when you said Trump was a very smart guy. We know he’s not.??????

❤ Trudeau ❤ especially his ability to talk to dumbald on a 4th grade level. What a guy ?

All of a sudden Trudeau cares about you guys hahahhahaha

Trudeau is not a leader He's a dictator you guys got to realize that.

I don't know. Trudeau is not a good diplomat.\nI don't trust this guy.

Smart guy Trudeau. Knows how to appeal to Trump with the biggest lie of all time: you are a smart man ?

I think Trudeau missed the memo on what reciprocal tariffs mean! By the way we don't need Canadas energy when they Say they're going to so-called turn off the energy to America that means literally nothing five minutes of research will tell you that the United States does not need Canadas energy! Absolute empty threat!\n\nBy the way to anybody in the comments section that doesn't know what they're talking about and just listens to cnn so far these tariffs have secured 1.7 trillion US dollars in just three months brought manufacturing back to the United States honda is now leaving their location in Canada and building in the United States same with American car manufacturers in Mexico. \n\nWe won and I find this so funny you guys are flipping out we have socalled Americans joining Canada's side just because they're anti Trump. absolute clowns!

You have Trudeau; we have a guy with a chainsaw. Yes; we are stupid.

Sorry, Trudeau is wrong, Trump not a smart guy.

Why Trudeau, still gotta stroke TRUMP'S ego?! No,he is NOT a very smart guy!!! No, he didn't produce jobs! I wish Charlie Angus would've gave the speech. He don't kiss a**!

Thanks Donald for making Trudeau look like Canada's savior. This guy and his party were on the verge of getting kicked out before stupid Trump came along.

As much as I am not a fan of Trudeau, he nailed it. Our guys is a sham, an idiot and he's already begun crippling our nation financially. If you haven' t looked at your 401k, I'd suggest a peek. Mine's tanking as I write this...

Trudeau said it - it’s all because of one guy. Throw Trump and all of his toadies out and let’s get back to business together. He is dismantling your country and these tariffs are simply one mechanism that he’s using to ruin the US. The US is no longer in the position of world leadership and respect and it took Trump less than two months to do that. Your government is failing you and hurting you. Throw them out now.

Guys does anyone know who the people behind Trudeau are? I'm sorry I'm new to politics and have no idea. Thanks guys!

Justin Trudeau lied through his teeth when he said the Trump is a very smart guy.\nI've seen absolutely no evidence of any intelligence in Donald Trump.

The WSJ was correct in saying that this is a very dumb thing to do, but Trudeau was wrong when he said Chump is a very smart guy.

Canadian speaking. We have endured for 9 years Trudeau s NWO 4th stage cancer on us! Millions in Canada hate this guys guts. Flooded millions of immigrants overwhelming our schools, hospitals and housing. Our corrupt government will happily feed these parasites that the Americans send back.

Don't blame all to the Indian students. Corrupt and spineless guy like Trudeau leading Canada & their Universities collaborate with Sikh terrorists and issues fake Canadian visas and facilitate and send to USA in collaboration with Soros-Biden to destroy USA. Wait there will be more things to come from DOGE and tear the face of Canada! Even terrorist like Nijjar came in student visa to Canada!

Trudeau is still PM? The guy just can't give up his salary ?

One guy screwing up the world economy another looser keeping a war( Putin) going ? trump has no respect for Trudeau ( neither have most Canadians). But yes lets where all if this is going . At this point it’s more a hype about what trump announces . We can only react to it when it happens . For sure is that canada put to many eggs in one basket . For us the transport is short across the border but Europe would definitely benefit from our resources. The challenge is that trump is only in for 4 years , after his departure prices will stay up ,as history has proven .

It's incredible that so many of the people commenting here don't understand the reason for the tariffs. We're being invaded by illegal aliens and deadly drugs. The point of the tariffs is to prod your leadership into doing the right thing. Stop allowing our country to be flooded with poisons that are killing us. If you're really good guys, you would stand up to the actual bad guy, your prime minister Trudeau. Keep in mind he's flooding your country with dangerous islamists. You should want that to stop

Trump just revitalized Trudeau… looks like PP, his guy in Canada just went into a nosedive in the polls… and the conservatives are seen now as the Canadian MAGA that just caused such a disaster in their nest… it’s been eye opening for the world….

Why is Trudeau even talking? That guy should be gone and forgotten by now, even though he deserves worse.

You guys needed Trump to step on your toes to get this issue and problem solved in this country. Look where it's going. Canada has never been like this. Thanks Trudeau for screwing it up

trudeau giving these guys hand outs its unfair to the everyone else!

Nova Scotia proud b'ye. Not a chance in hell I would move, or even visit, the US. You realize most of the world dislikes you guys. You are so very sheltered and shove this ideology that you guys are number 1 in everything down the worlds throat. Arrogant and condescending. Canada has its problems, trudeau, but I'll stay right here. If I would move outside Canada it would be Hungary or Poland.

Canadians why don't you guys deport every person who entered since Trudeau took office, would be a great thing.
