When you see other world leaders and then you see ours, depressing does not begin to cover the situation. It’s OK that DJT doesn’t care about being a laughingstock, but making the U.S. & all its citizenry despised throughout the civilized world… Isn’t that too great a price to pay for one man’s boundless narcissism and hubris? Isn’t it?

Trump is the EMEMY WITHIN. DESTROYING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FROM THE INSDE. \n49 YEARS AGO RUSSIA CREATED A PLAN TO GET A MAN INTO THE WHITEHOUSE TO DIVIDE AND DESTROY THE UNITED STATES FROM WITHIN. RUSSIAS PLAN WORKED. RUSSIA FOUND THEIR MAN. THE ENTIRE WORLD KNOWS EXACTLY WHO THAT MAN IS.\nA SHOWBIZ LYING COWARD CON MAN CALLED DONALD TRUMP.

WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW MORE THAN EVER IS TO GET RID OF CHUMP \n\nTHE GOP, CHUMP, MAGTARDS AND ELON WILL BE FLYING THEIR RUSSIAN FLAGS HIGH TONIGHT BECAUSE THEY AIN'T AMERICAN ?

Well, we in South East Asia prefer that you, friends, fighting each other. Keep up the fighting please. If you, friends, are fighting, you leave us alone. You won't incite us to fight among our own friends. With you fighting among, friends, we can actually have our peace. It is for the good of the world. Keep yourselves in your part of the world.

ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE WORKING TOGETHER ON THE NEW WORLD ? ORDER & ITS A WORLD ? STAGE OF DECEPTIONS \nONLY JESUS CAN BE TRUSTED!

Impressive statement, PM Trudeau! I support Canada, even though Minnesota will be hurt a lot by tariffs. Dictator Trump’s actions are indefensible! I’ll be sorry to see world leader Trudeau no longer be Prime Minister. And now Trump wants to arrest college student protestors.

I’m in the US but I’m cheering on Canada and the rest of the world. I’m sorry we’re the enemy right now. I know my prices will go up, but please please don’t back down!!

I have to agree. We should be very proud of Trudeau. So eloquently and articulately delivered with facts, no hesitation or backing down. Thank you, PM Trudeau we stand behind you as do most of the world. I have heard from so many friends/relatives in different parts of the world saying we should be proud. We stand strong. We are Canadian eh. ??

Joy EU Canada. Open to the world you have plenty of markets to explore

Prime Minister Trudeau when you start out your speech please stat half of America wants to have a trade war with us: because the other half of Americans does not want to have a trade war with Canada. I have been to Canada a hundred times in my lifetime since I live close to the Canadian border and I've always respected Canadian sovereignty also, that Canadian is our best partner and friend. Keep calling out TRAITOR TRUMP, the MAGA ACOLYTES and the so-called Republican party GOP that PLACE Putin over Canada. I don't know what Putin has over TRAITOR TRUMP or how much vested interest TRAITOR TRUMP is getting from Putin. The Canadian border is the largest undefended border in the world. To our mutual friends sorryl about this AUTOCRAT.

Hey Maga... U R about to learn a hard lesson. You think prices were bad under Biden? lol, wait for it. You screwed over the world and now the world is going to screw you!

Canada you are a great democratic country with a vibrant culture with a great economy, you do not deserve to be treated the way you are by the dictator Trump & his Republicans, that is what disrespect is…Trump needs to apologise to Canada & it’s people. The USA is now becoming a world menace, I hope all the nations of the world take notice of Trump’s arrogance & egoism which will start new conflicts & wars soon.\nGood luck to my Canadian friends, with lots of love & respect from Türkiye. ❣️?????❣️

I'm not sure what's more embarrassing the fact that this guy is a world economic forum puppet or the fact that most you reading this won't even know what that means....NPCs

We don’t want your council on foreign relations, nwo world guys. We want our American jobs back that slick willy clinton sold us out for in the nafta scam. The scam is up guys, the silent majority are sick of it.

Well done Canada. The USA has been taken over by the Jremlin, what a dark day for the world.

World see America Atack Canada like Rusia ,UKraine!!but in a Economic wor !

American here from California, we stand with Canada, Ukraine, never Russia. We’re so heartbroken & angry with is happening in the US. Impeach Trump & his cronies then we can have a better world.

I am from Alberta, Canada and would like to thank all the American people that have said that they stand with Canada. YOU CAN HELP. Call or write to your various levels of government and let them know that this is wrong and will hurt everyone in the US and Canada. The sooner that the US government realizes this is a no win situation, the better for all of us. Also, thank you to everyone around the world for your support. I am Canadian, I am strong and free and I will fight for my country and for my family.

My fellow Americans, we have far to many gullible and ignorant citizens in our country who voted for this idiot not once, not twice but 3 times. Insanity. Make it make sense. You voted for a proven narcissist, liar and impulsive man and now everybody in our country is going to suffer. The rest of the world is understandably concerned. We have a Putin sympathizer in the Oval Office. We have a traitor to Western democracy in our midst in power. \n\nWe now have massive layoffs coupled with cuts to vital services and help for our own citizens including Medicaid and other things. This is disturbing and troubling how fast it's unravelling. We can only hope that patriots and others can help stem this tide. We must use peaceful means to and pressure on our politicians to become more vocal in our concerns.

Oh Canada ??, strong and free, our country is already great and the best in the world. Hopefully, the USA will be great again someday but I think they need a new leader ,just saying.

Canada the world capital of zombies fentanyl zombies

Why is it ALL of the other leaders in the world look so much smarter than ours

Canada set up a “go fund me” to fight Trump and MAGA. People around the world will donate. Trump is despised.

Sane Americans stand with you, Canada. We stand with Ukraine and the good citizens of the world. We will never align ourselves with Trump and his toxic Maga cult. We stand beside the rest of the world in fighting this traitorous coup.

World, brace yourself.

Thank you Canada's for always standing up for decency, rule of law and democracy! The small nation looking up to Canada's for world leaders! May the Lord provided guidance for Canada's to always stepping for right side of history!??

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

A very intelligent, honest and masterful speech! I live in Germany and support Mr. Trudeau and the Canadian citizens 100%. I hope that the people of the USA will soon realize that their own president is destroying their country and damaging the USA's reputation around the world.

Good Trudeau you explains are very well\nDo think Trump he can rule over the world We don’t want to have a second Hitler We don’t need the Americans I am from Europe And we will survive with out Trump!!!!!!!!!

WWIII is coming. I predicted this scenario in college in 2005 with my game theory model. Trump is trying to become the richest man in the world. My model did not predict this. I was about 80% correct.

Thank you thank you thank you very much Mr. Trudeau for giving us hope in this terrifing time, for standing up to bully, for letting those dictators know that our democratic world is not for sell.\nMerci du fond du cœur cher Premier Ministre Trudeau . Vielen vielen lieben Dank. Wir sind so stolz auf Sie lieber Herr Premierminister Trudeau und auf das tolle Volk Kanadas\n❤

I stand with Canada and the world against Trump .

All the drugs came from America destroying people lives all around the world,I would never live in America with my kids,robberies killing,drugs I live in Croatia and I can go out at night don’t have to look the house,car Im free.

American from California aslso known as mini Denmark we stand with the world and democracy in condemnation of Trump and his eyeliner-lapdog vance, no relation to lipstick lesbians they too support democracy and sanity!

I almost feel like I need to apologize to the world for the moron that is in the White House. It’s sad when you’re ashamed to be an American.

During the Second World War Canada punched way above its weight in supporting it Allies and defeating Hitler and the scourge of fascism. It’s not a country or a people I’d want to take on lightly but as Prime Minister Trudeau highlights this is going to hurt US citizens as much as Canadian.

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.

Trump will not care about the rest of the world because he has a new BOSS and it is PUTIN

Well said, Prime Minister. They are power-mad lunatics and don't care what anyone else says, but the world cares, and Canada has responded beautifully. America will pay the price and Putin will reap the rewards.

Now might be a good time to either upturn the system, or admit that this is no longer the country we can abide, and leave. Either way, it is evident that there is now a New World Order, lead by corporations and the lobbyists that fight for them. The kindest thing to say is that we are an Idiocracy; the truth might be that we've become the evil we pretend to fight. Good luck out there, folks.

Maybe just maybe the mad ???er is a blessing in disguise ? by shaking up some common sense in this slightly mad world ??...

Canada, stand down. We can't fight America, lol. Especially not when the US is still the world's reserve currency ?

If Putin is a murder? Then so is America? So is Ukraine? So is Palestine? So is Israel? In the 1990 Middle Eastern war USA ? tried so diligently to destroy the WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRUCTION!! ?? killing so many innocent people calling them terrorists. What do we call this action? GODLY ? Everyone is trying to show their power through Global Politics that they are greater than others and trying to rule every country in this world before fixing their own. Trudeau has brought Canada to poverty in his so called successful 2 terms government. He should think before he talks or like Hitler he should rehearse his speech in front of a mirror before opening his mouth in public, it's a whole lot of crap coming out in public and losing his sane ability. ?

This makes no goddamn sense. I have so many friends that are already struggling to make ends meet here in a relatively affordable midwestern town. \n\nSorry to all Canadians, and the world, on behalf of a mortified and distraught midwestern American.\n?

Trump's goal is to destroy every single economic and military alliance that the U.S. and free world now enjoy. He has been a russian agent since his 1987 trip to Moscow. His loans through Deutsche bank were guaranteed by putin controlled russian state banks. So,, Deutsche had zero risk on the Deutsche bank loans. So the loans were in fact a payday from putin to trump as soon as trump defaulted on the loans.

Trump does not see Putin/Russia as an enemy. Trump is making Russia a USA ally and our allies our enemies. The sooner world leaders and American citizens come to terms with that and start calling it what it is, the sooner something can start to be done about it.

AGREE,what is this about definitely not the border !Trumps REGIME is trying to weaken Canada so he can Annex us!!!\nThat will never happen most Americans disagree with Trump more than half now after what has happened in the news lately!!\nThank you Mr.Trudeau for an eloquent,intelligent response to Trumps DUMB plan.After decades of good relations between our nations Trump has chosen Putin’s playbook\nCanadians and the world now are BOYCOTTING the once upon a time Ally Our neighbour America!!\nThis will not play out well for Americans Canadians or Mexicans \n??????

USA should up Canada tariff to 50%. Screw them. No one in the world gives a sh1t about Canada. All your famous rich ppl came to the USA to get famous and rich. What have they EVER done???? ??? Our GDP to Canada is 17%. Theirs to us is only 2%. Don't need them.

Canada has done nothing but put out propaganda. Canada is a Liberal country that interferes with our elections. Now if I want to know how to adjust my fake eyebrows or how to talk tough while having a small population and only one neighbor that happens to be an ally and the world's super power then I'll ask Trudeau and the Canadians for their input. In the meantime, their people don't work and the Canadians depend on us for their rights to the sea since they don't spend much on defense. America will win. Canada won't exist without America.

Sounds like CANADA IS NOT CLOSING THE BORDER. AMERICA NEEDS TO STOP GIVING THE WORLD FREE MONEY.
