trump is a megalomaniac and he only cares about his own personal power and increasing it, at the cost of everyone and everything else. he is acting like a russian agent.

People of goodwill around the world support the strong president and great peacemaker Donald J. Trump ??! This person has a great will to establish peace and goodness! A person and president who deserves the greatest award in the history of humanity! Right now, it is only the first steps, but very soon everyone will realize this! \nGod's blessing!

I am wondering if Fox is gonna show this speech, and how about Newsmax and, the other one that I right now don't remember, I really hope the Americans who voted for trump see how a real leader talks and behaves and I also hope that people realize that this president is hurting every single American Citizen, these tariffs will not help our country it will make it so much harder for every person in The USA to make a decent living. Please don't forget about this NOT NOW NOT EVER.

I stand with Canada , Ukraine. Never with Russia. Never with Trump. or Vance. Not with the Republican Congress. Great speech , no name calling like last Friday.. MTG boyfriend who is another arrogant person like the President or the Vice President.

Stop talking, start a war, if you're a man, start a war, Canada, you're not a bad person, you're the same as women, less tanks, less mistakes, if you can't do it, Canada, you're gay, I'll just say one thing, stop taraffs, you're okay, you're the same as Trump, corporate Canada

We have a stupid person as president

This coming from a dictator himself! It's amazing that all these countries think the u.s. is there personal piggy bank. Its about time they pay their fair share, and now that they do they crying about it... absolutely amazing!

Agrees with him on everything except for fentanyl. \nAs a disabled person with a chronic illness I am 100% reliant on fentanyl which is more efficient than morphine with less side effects and I may as well kill myself now if they 'remove it from the face of the earth '. \nIt's not always used illegally but those of us who need it to survive and get by day to day are victimised every time a drug addiction uses this

Theyre taking it so personal. When it's just the way the world works and has been working for years.

The reason for this is Trump wants industry back in the US, and as long as people buy things from outside of the US cheaper, that's not going to happen. Thus the tariffs. That's what they're for, protectionism. Why he pretends it won't be bad for americans or that they won't be paying more for products, I don't know. Perhaps his way of preparing people for bad times. Or the wishful thinking bit he swears to. Whatever. But what sane person would build up an industry predicated on Trump being consistent and willing to stay the course? An industry that would fall apart like it's 1920 the moment tariffs end? I predict noone.\n\nI have some experience with Clark, he was an insightful man during his command in Europe. It should be concerning when he can't see a reason for these actions, for cozying up to Putin and alienating allies. There's no end goal here that is in the US' interest. Trump's cabinet is not interested in this sort of thing, they are domestic dilettantes. There is no 4D chess. So what is the deal? Is it just his anger at Zelensky for not investigating Hunter Biden during the election? It seems... a bit too much for that, despite Trump being known as extremely spiteful.

I love Canada. Wish there was something personally i could use to help. ❤❤❤ Trump is Dumb and self-centered.

I believe that he is seeking vengeance for his failed Canadian hotels, one in Vancouver and one in Toronto at least. such a small minded person, unable to take a world view, its all about him and how things affect him personally.

An intelligent, well-mannered and decent person. What a striking difference from the arrogant, egotistical, pompous, pissed-off representatives of the current US administration.

Americans: remember what it's like to have a smart person for president. Cohesive speech, no bullying, no name-calling, no stupid analogies, no n4z1 billionaires making all the decisions...

Remind me again why Trudeau was forced to resign? Even NY Times investigative journalists recently explained how NAFTA worked against US interests and killed so much of our industry decades ago; almost the opposite of what was intended. Trade needs to be reformed across the board. It's also insulting the way other world leaders are now speaking directly to the American Public and lying to them as if they have our best interest in mind. World leaders are elected to defend the interests of their own people, many times they just look out for their own personal interest, but they are definitely not looking out for American interest. It is up to us. The world stage is a complicated transaction of this for that. That's life. Have you all forgot playing United Nations in high school? Trade needs to be renegotiated from significantly benefiting every other country but USA. Trump is trying to do that.

How one person in a month decided to turn the world upside down and those who were friends became enemies and the blood dictator is the best friend

As a citizen of the United Sates of America I stand with Canada. Trump is a sick, evil and hateful person.

Trump is a textbook NARCISSIST like actually has NPD and implements narcissistic abuse upon all of us. Ironic he is trying to pathologize trans people when he literally has narcissistic personality disorder

There a lot of us Americans that hate what Trump is doing! I just wish there was some way that we could get him out of office. He is most unintelligent person this world has ever seen. Do what you have to do, a lot of Americans who support you!

I agree with the PM on pretty much everything - except that dRump is a smart person. His handlers are conniving/cunning - but he's a useless idiot. Just the same - the oligarchs have gotten too bold and their sycophants with them. ETR

Way to go TRUDEAU. Don’t bow down to trump he’s a dumb ass and he thinks that the world owes him something. Trump is a criminal; very corrupt person who doesn’t have a life and doesn’t care about anyone. He’s just going around with his selfish and greedy self trying to take advantage of everyone with his corrupt ways . Trump should be a janitor, not a president ?

Now that’s a true leader!!! Why America?!? Look at the consequences of putting this incompetent person in power!!

The US almost sounds like Gilead. I’m so sad for Americans. I am a North American Indigenous person and live in Canada. Trump says he wants to make America great again and has only hurt the American people.

As a Canadian I am embarrassed at our Prime Minister doing the WRONG thing to prevent this trade war. 10 years of throwing our economy down the drain so he could make money off his fentanyl mega labs. Rebel news did a full investigation of Trudeau's ties to cartels. He's a lying POS and by far NOT a person with any moral fiber.

Trump should thank his lucky stars that Justin is not like his dad who was one of Canada's greatest PM's & he did not take in BS. from anyone in fact if Justin was like his dad the bleep button would get worn out & in person the secret service would half to pull them a part because there would be fight .

So what all you people in here want war want death theres only one planet we get along the world spins we start wars the world stops we all loose this not personal this business ??

A person who can communicate clearly has a clear mind.

0:30 I'll make it make sense: Trump is a Russian asset. There are no winners in a trade war, but there's a clear winner looking on from Moscow. On the off chance Trump is NOT a Russian asset, he still could not be behaving like a better one, and that's what matters. Should we be even worrying where the true loyalties of a person are, when they're deliberately sinking the ship?

Mr Trudeau, \nHere in the US we have an unstable President who is tearing down our democracy. I support Canada - He (Donald) is not a smart person …

trump what a monster! terrible person!

What an intelligent and respectabel person! A fantastic speech! ❤Best wishes from Catharina in Sweden! ?????

“Directly” not even in person lol?

Trump is a thoroughly unserious person.

The current government only cares about their personal bank accounts; they want to destroy true Americans. Trump is not a true American; he is Putin's pet and will follow everything Putin wants. The people who follow Trump are his criminal gang, to fulfill Trump's dream that he is some great gangster. He is not a gangster, he's a con man, lying piece of crap. True Americans are disgusted at the very thought of him; we can't stand to see his face, hear his voice, or hear his name. The American government is destroyed because Trump is in the White House because the stupid people elected him.

The fentynal is probably going from the US to Canada not the other way. Rapist 34 felonies is a sick sick person. Most Americans know this. Sadly not enough Amercans came out to vote for Harris/ walz to avoid this.

the United States did not, Trump did. blame the right person. i hate Trump and all his goons

Gaslighting at its finest. Nobody is aligning with Russia, YOU LIAR. Your countries economy is destroyed. YOU PERSONALLY ALLOWED FETANYL INTO THE US. GO TRUMP!!! DRAIN THE INTERNATIONAL SWAMP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who tf gives a sh** what this person has to say though

Trump Voters must feel soooo proud to see how INCOMPETENT the person they vote for is

I AM ?? CANADIAN. How mad are we? Furious and overtly patriotic. I will do everything within my limited economic (non-billionaire), physical and social power to protect Canada against american aggression. You have threatened our democratically elected government, natural resources, economy and personal freedom. By electing “that person” as your leader and aligning with authoritarian dictatorships like Russia, you have threatened not only Canada and Ukraine but world peace. You have threatened your own economic and personal freedom. Prime Minister Trudeau spoke succinctly in a comprehensible way to let you, the american people, know the seriousness of your choice. If you understand what you have done and realize the implications, then peacefully protest (if that is still allowed with your evolving fascist/populist/authoritarian government). Contact your local, state/territorial and federal government officials. You can let your governors, senators and representatives know that you do not agree with the government’s actions and the subsequent hardship it will impose not only on the world but on you, your family and neighbours. Make change happen in a peaceful, non violent manner, while you still can. We didn’t ask for nor want this absurdly unnecessary confrontation but when attacked, we will fight our old friends and historic allies. Elbows up Canada!

Trudeau has to know that his party has killed the military and made them laughing stocks. An still starves yhem for funds snd equopement. Liberal party has raped canada for personal gain. They all got rich pn stolen loot. This was a good speach but way to late and too little

I don't blame America at all. I personally love America. This is a donald trump thing. I hope he wakes up and smells the roses before it's too lats.

WHAT'S A TOTAL TRAVESTY TO THINK HE HAS DONE SOMETHING ( BIG) HE'S A TOTAL RACIST UNEMPATHATIC BREATHING PERSON WHO DOES NOT CARE ABOUT ANYONE OR ANYTHING!!!!!

No one can reason with a stupid person. It all came down to the collective dumb decision by Americans for re-electing an unfit person back to the White House. You dumb Americans chose a criminal to be your leader and crimes he will do and is doing now. God help us all! ??

God once saved Trump to become a more compassionate and humane person, but he is turning into the devil instead!

As an American who not unlike more than half of this country believe this president and his administration are going down a very dangerous path. It feels like a runaway train, why can't we stop it, why can't we remove him, the impending damage that is about to take place seems obvious. This is a democracy but what do you do if the person who was voted in isn't qualified and is hurting not only our people but people around the world? Can you recall a president? What would it take?

It's not war, it's business. FAIR TRADE no matter who gives/takes. Americans responded with electing Trump. Trudeau shouldn't make it personal. ??‍?

Sorry for mistake - - I meant DJT with this sentence: He stumbles along with a very limited vocabulary in his speeches, speeches in which any normal person can hear how little intelligence and substance there is behind these words......

Unfortunately for you Trudeau, you’re talking to a crazy, stupid and bully person ?

It’s about Donald thinking he’s the smartest person in the room and he’s determined to prove he’s right—no matter what the cost to the American people. 165 million Americans did not vote for him.
