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

God bless Canada. Trump is a Russian agent doing his job for Putin. It is clear.

I think this is exactly as you say, trump being played by putin. What does Putin get from it...maybe trump sending US military (boots on the ground) to replace the North Korean fodder on the Russian frontline in Ukraine...?

I.m not saying that president D.Trump is a traitor and an undercover russian asset. But if a bird looks like a duck , swims like a duck and quacks like a duck , then it probably is a duck.

Facts and logic don’t work against Trump unfortunately. Man’s a Russian lapdog.

Trumps a Russian asset just say it out loud

America is aligned with Putin? That's hilarious, Europe has funded everything Russia does thur their dependence on Russian natural gas.

Canada, how can you treat you best allie, best of friends best trading partner. how dare you treat the country that saved you from the Nazis from the Moslems from Russians and Mexicans from the Europeans. trump is going to destroy you and then make Canada a state. you can not be the 51st state because Israel is the 51st state. so get in line.

Putin works for the Russian mob and Donald J Trump works for a dictator named Putin who wants to bring America to it's knees now this is a major problem. Donald J Trump has got to go immediately, forcefully and aggressively the individuals that work for the government that we will never know or hear of but make sure that Americans are safe from foreign and domestic terrorist so we may have a peace of mind while we sleep have a job to do godspeed to you.

Really wish we had a president instead of a Russian asset.

Seems to me that Trump is trying to weaken the American economy, and people to such a state that he will invite Putin to come in and help them, and Trump will become a Russian Oligarch

Trudeau is a good leader who care's for both Canada and America USA . basically trump is a Russian

It's absolutely unfathomable that things have been allowed to escalate to this point. It is obvious that our country is being taken over by Russian agents in the WH. How else can you be so tone deaf to what this stupid tarrif position is going to do to our economy, unemployment people that are not wealthy. These rich people absolutely do not care about us regular people. Our forefathers would be livid to see what has become of our country. MAGAs have been duped with so many lies and exaggerations that have been generated by Russia into the social media consciousness that they have paved the way for a total take over designated to ruin our country. It's happening, and people are so duped ...... it's like a bad movie.

Trump is a Russian asset and many of his circle put there to destroy our country and our Democracy

Russian asset FELON47 allows illegal guns being smuggled into Canada and Mexico and will be held accountable for this crime

The West finds Canada USA a threat. We are the strongest allies in the world and Donald is too Dumb to see the russian chess move \n\nIn Canada, i’ve learned Chess in our Math class in school… \n\nGood luck Donald

Oh Canada, so sorry the us has a Russian asset for prez, we hope to repair our relationship when he is gone

It makes sense if somebody is a Russian asset.

What's the bet the Russian tariffs come off first. I hope it's a very hard landing for Trump when this plays out.

Australia here ... What the $#@ is the go with Trump he is abandoning every ally and backing a Russian tyrant ... Make America great my arse !!! \nHe is gonna ruin America

FINALLY SOMEONE HAS THE BALLS TO CALL OUT TRUMP ???????????\nTrump is a wrecking ball !!\nThat Zelenskyy theater he pulled was a huge moral boost to Russian troops and Putins negotiating leverage. Absolute idiot !!

Omg you guys over the pond he's in the pocket of the Russians god bless you all and I know you won't let this stand your the beacon of liberty and freedom my heart goes out to you all .

Your stupid ?? president is a Russian asset!

I want my fellow Americans to know that what Trump is doing by picking up on our neighbors. Canada and Mexico and talking about the Russian Eukrane war is a strategy to distract American people from their real problem is to fight the inflation ..this is a big game

Pound sand Trump, if you think you can push Canada around you have no idea who you're messing with. Americans should be ashamed of themselves for voting in this orange clown twice. Russian asset.

As an proud American for 67 years I'm frightened for our boarders. We may have Russians marching around here in the distant future. I am glad to say I did not vote for the Orange felon!!?

I'll tell you what this is about. I'll tell you why the orange Jesus is attacking friends instead of enemies. I will let you know why Trump has become the largest Putin bootlicker. It is because I believe Putin who is one of the most dangerous political figures in Europe in the last 200 years, who is a former KGB agent and he was a very good one, has dug up some much much much much much much much dirty dirt on the most despicable disrespectful immoral entitled billionaire moron. Probably the same kind of dirt why the Epstein files were mostly redacted. I believe the orange orang spent some very good times in Russia in the past, good times that should never come out in the light of day, some services that were probably at a discount, while some hidden cameras and microphones were collecting that very dirty dirt and the brand on those cameras and microphones was a KGB logo. This is why I think Mr thinnest tope in the world is acting as the Russians boyfriend.

Russian asset Don the BULLSHITTER Con has NO friends or allies

We are collectively drifting into a more and more divided world. I hope the Americans will stand up against Trump and realize that he is harming their country with his current actions and pro-russian politics.

Trump and MAGAts do not represent Americans.They are programmed Russian Cult members.

Drumb must be a russian agent ,\nWhat he is doing,is onlygood forn therussian.\nSee the bigger picture.

Well...Trump is not smart. He is an IDIOT, and worse, he is a traitor commanded by Putin. I bet he will try to trade with Russia very soon. He is just a Russian asset. The Russians call him Agent Orange!

Trump is playing right into Putin's hands obviously has never read a history book or two look at America's stance at the end of World War II and we've been fighting against the Russians ever since they are not America's friend

Trump is a Russian asset... Please fake check me!

I'm an American. Trump and company are Russian Collaborators . They are NOT acting in America's interest. I'm on Canada's side here for sure. Trumps tariffs must be some kind of fishy scam. I bet its some kind of money grab? It would not surprise me.The White house is under Russian Control.

Canada let me put this in a way that you can understand We As Americans had our dumbest sled dog saw a Russian squirrel and took off with our team this is not our fault

Great speech! This is how a mature politician sounds like. I wouldn t be suprised to find out that Trump is some sort of russian agent. He must be stopped. People like him are the cause for the start of downfall of powerfull nations. I bet China wasn t ever this happy like now

Trump thinks the Russian aggressor in Ukraine is blameless so are we surprised that he thinks starting a trade war is America's fault?

And now I want to speak to an specific Russian, oops I mean American...

Good speech. Tell the blighters. They abused us all in WW1, They abused us all in WW2, they abused us in Suez, now it seems they are cosying up tp their old Russian bed-fellows, to finish us and the Europeans off. This time together, ladies and gentleman. It should be us against the greedy US madmen politicians.

Australian living in New Zealand here and i support you 100% Canada. Trumps is a Russian asset now and nobody should trust the US goverment. When their economy collapses they will only have themselves to blame for voting in a con artist and criminal that is totally unqualified to be leading anything bar a meal line in a public jail.

It takes a lot to piss off a country like Canada, which is saying something. I don't fault the Canadian and Mexican governments for standing up for their people. It's just a damn shame that regular Canadians, Americans, and Mexicans will pay the price of the trade war started by President Trump. Why we're taking aim at our ally nations and not putting tariffs on Russian goods says it all.

Canada is not the 51st State. USA is the 47th Russian Oblast.

As??Russian Mafia continues a WAR ON PUTIN’S ENEMIES. Trump doesn’t have 2 KIDNAP Top Millionaire’s mimicking MBS HOTEL THEFT of?MONOPOLY Corporations. Billionaires Admin, crushing??Businesses. IN THIS DIVORCE ?? ?? \nI CHOOSE, CANADIAN CANUCKS 2 WIN THIS WAR, ? AGAINST HUMAN FREEDOMS.

Easing russian sanctions, then putting tarrifs to allies that makes stupid sense.

Doesn't all this make sense if CHUMP is viewed as an 'undercover' Russian asset..?

Gotta stop that fentanyl that is killing his base in middle America, but Russian ships are OK since he's hoping to have the SS Krasnov commissioned soon.

Trump wants Canada to be 51st state? This is wrong. Trump might have some Russian friends pushing him to mess with Canada. God help Canada ?? ? ❤

Wake up America, Trump is going to destroy the country. Don't fall for his BS any longer, he's a Russian asset.

Trump seeks to weaken the United States, force Canada into the 51st state, annex Greenland, restrict Mexico economically, repossess the Panama Canal and put it all at Putin's feet. Trump is pursuing Putin's agenda at a time in the history of the earth when climate change is opening up the Arctic Ocean and the North Pole to industrialization and commercialization along new routes never seen before . Trump's policies do not benefit the American people at all, but rather the economic potential of the Russians, The King of the North.
