As a Canadian who could never stand Trudeau, even his face is annoying to look at, I must say he gave a great speech here. I even even liked Trump for many years and now am so disgusted by him.

Trudeau look the way he deliver his speach clear with sense. What about trump no sense he always critize his enemy

Thank you Trudeau. Trump is now fucked. He can't back up or he's going to look weak. AND the rest of the world is going to follow. The world needed this!

Great speech Mr Trudeau and shame on our Felon Con Trump for those tarrifs that are only going to hurt our country and the people. The derranged Trump is looking out only for himself and his Billionaire cronies who donate to his campaigns ! The Donald Con Trump thinks he is still in the Apprentice. Poor fool?

How can the msm and their guests say they don't understand why he's doing this? If you look at every thing Trump does thru the lense of pleasing Putin and putting Rudssia and China's agenda first, it all makes sense. It's time to start calling this what it is. A traitorous president is selling out his own country and countrymen. He needs to he stopped bamn before its too late. This is not Amerixa first, it's America last.

Not that’s what we caught under a government working with your corrupted government. Now we are after drug dealers not helping them. We suggest you do the same. I think your percentage will go up under Trump. We aren’t looking the other way like Joe.

You big orange baboon, look what a real president looks like, what a real leader speaks like on world stage. Shame on you Trump voters, shame on you MAGAs for bringing misery & hardships worldwide.

The reason for trumps behavior is an all personal EGO. He doesn't want to look bad in front of others, even if it means hurting the country and their people. Its a childish game on a large scale schoolyard. He doesn't care who gets hurt. As long as he wins. He's blinded by his behavior. Maybe thats why he's president the puppeteer knew what he was doing. Canada ??

Trump Charge them 26%We're behind you Stand Stand strong stand your ground It's only fair How long Canada cheated America Look how long they let Muslims cross through the border

America , this is what a leader looks like, eloquent, smart, literate, honest. Not what you have skeaming, liar, treasonous, preditor and criminal. \n\nWhy republican voyers cannot see this disgusts me. If you cant see what damage he is doing. You are whats wrongbwith America , and you have no right to call yourself a patriot as you brought your own nations to its knees. Trust me America will fall under Trump and Vance.

This is what real leadership looks like. Thank you Trudeau for speaking the truth to Trump. Unfortunately, it will probably fall on deaf ears.

So, has the USA under Trump turned into a Russian asset.?\nSeriously, the rest of the civilised world especially us in the UK are looking in open-mouthed astonishment at the behaviour of the nominal leader of the free world.\nAmerica is morphing into a broken and divided society, but in the meantime, you're scaring everyone else guys, including your historical allies, because Trump is untrustworthy, he's coming across like a gangster who sees everything as a opportunity for self-enrichment.\nTrump is looking like Putin's Poodle.\nPutin really has got him on a lead, definitely his bitch..!!! \nSupport here from your Commonwealth brothers and sisters in the UK

Looks to me like everyone is loosing except Trump’s EGO!!!?\nBig Boss Man RIGHT?..?

Why is Trump making America look bad. We are screwed

trump is finished already dont deal with usa block them out of everything and look to other markets uk , europe, asia etc well done sir respect from the uk.

Shame ! shame ! shame…… president Zelenskyy was just bullied by our US government instead of showing some empathy and compassion for loosing thousands and thousands of his citizens and seeing his country being destroyed by RUSSIA , ALL these gangsters including TRUMP had the nerve to make fun of his clothing ??? Really ??? It has been only a month since president TRUMP took office and the future of our country does NOT look good by having these GANGSTERS in office !!!

I’m American. Never voted for the MAGA party - it’s all too obvious. Sickening by the way Zelenskyy was treated in our White House - TRump and Vance looked primitive and devolved when they desperately tried to look “strong”. We stand with democracy.

Every time Trump has become president he’s made us look extremely dumb, ignorant, and childish. I’m convinced those who worship him hate this country, and through that hate, claim to be patriotic. Maybe it is time ppl start to eat the rich as they say. ??‍♂️

Make no mistake- Canadians are individually fighting back by boycotting all US products and looking for Canadian alternatives. Our social media is flooded with “Buy Canadian” only. Too bad. Trump sucks

Liberals of all western countries drove us apart and to do this bullshit lets be real here for a second. What Trump did at the Ukraine meeting is weakness? Ukraine is the epitome of weakness morons, they should learn to preserve their own assets while waging a senseless war since 2014 when Maidan happened. Clowns, your country giving billions away and what will you have in return back from Ukraine? Nothing, cause they looking for handouts. More use and benefits from Russia at this point then EU and Ukraine.

Trump needs to look at his own country’s fentanyl problem because America wouldn’t be having a fentanyl problem if America didn’t have the demand for the drug!!\nGood luck Trump…Hope you figure it out because America is the one that is demanding the drug and if Americans want it they usually find a way to get it…?..?

He is 100% correct. tRump is looking to work with Russia and perhaps remove sanctions while putting tariffs on all our allies. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!!

Let’s look at the facts. Something you’ll never hear trump say

I'm not American. I grew up hearing lots of hate bout USA cuz the US doesn't exactly have a good rep in foreign policies - always bullying other nations, starting wars for oil etc. but I've always preferred USA not just for the world order it brings, it allows different voices, criticism & scolding towards its leaders compared to China, Russia & North Korea. \n\nin the US, you can talk bad bout politicians in power, or probably make movies bout these kind of things like US invading other countries for oil, or testing out some cruel AI military robots on humans (movie name: Monsters of Man), & you won't be persecuted. but after looking at a bunch of executive orders Trump has signed, the way he (& JD Vance) treated Zelenski & Canada, I don't know if I still feel the same bout USA anymore.\n\nif USA doesn't wanna continue spending on Ukraine, perhaps USA shouldn't have sweet talked Ukraine into denuclearization thru the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. that's what you get for mendling with other countries' affairs. by stopping US aid & wanting a new mineral deal, Trump's refusing to follow the Memorandum (I added this sentence thru edit as I can't reply to the comment below).\n\nunderstandably, US & UK don't need to deploy troops in Ukraine as the security assurance in the memorandum wasn't clearly defined, but it also didn't mention that Ukraine should pay the US back financially, nor any mineral concessions. \n\nTrump always wanting a purely 1 sided deal will only isolate USA from more allies.

@robertedward7023 \n\nServing the country doesn’t mean that you’re right. President Trump was not bullying Zelensky but Zelensky was disrespectful to our President. “You have nice oceans so you don’t feel it now but in the future you will feel it “ is what Zelenskyy stated. How can you speak against your President who has done nothing but look out for Americans to defend someone who would be so disrespectful to our country. Zelensky also stated that Americans will bleed for his country. Why would anyone defend this blatant hatred. President Trump has tried to give Zelensky what he needs not what he wants. All of these countries gather together to rally against POTUS because he won’t allow them to financially enslave Americans and use America as a personal piggy bank. Every single American who loves this country should have President Trumps back.

Trump wants America to die from what it looks like! He's alienating us from our allies!

Thank you for showing trump what a real leader looks like.

Trudeau let's Trump get the upper hand....oof, bad move Trudeau. Looks like Canada could actually become the 51st state now.

If anything, it looks like Trump is doing a fine job uniting the rest of the world. There's some good in it at least, I guess.

American here. Trudeau is a true leader, and I respect the Hell out of him right now. He looks extremely presidential next to Trump.

What I can't understand is why Trudeau is saying all this stuff when the people of Canada hate him and he's on his way out.. Is this Trudeau trying to pull the wool over everybody's eyes... We have the same in the UK.... Everyone hates Starmer but he's trying to sugarcoat himself to make him look good... \nI'm sticking with Trump.. ?

I don’t understand exactly what Trump wants from Canada? What type of deal is he looking for?

What's crazy is I think Trudeau is a shit politician but held against Trump he looks like George fucking Washington. \n\nI love my Canadian friends, and don't blame Canada at all for the response. Fuck maga!

but this might look like a joke but i think trump was pid by putin to do these kind of thing

Nothing Trump does makes sense. He’s an utter embarrassment. He’s making our country look like a backwards, oppressive, “pile of garbage”. If any MAGA bothered to research is life back to the 70’s and 80’s they’d find Trump was NEVER good at business. He was good at running them into the ground. He hasn’t a republican cell in his body. He doesn’t care which party or what ideology anyone is, so long as they’re naive and ignorant enough to buy his lies and bullshit. It’s just all about Trump. Everything he’s doing is contrary to making America great. Ironic that there are many so-called Christians who support him, when he fits the biblical description of the Antichrist a bit too well. It’ll take decades to restore America’s standing in the world, because that narcissistic, bloated, power-hungry, piece of shit wants to keep attention centered on him. He’s doing all he can to keep us stupid, and brainwashed, because anyone who’s intelligent, and has any level of critical thinking poses a threat. When will the orange Kool aid wear off?…and btw, I’m not a liberal. I’m not a democrat. I’m rational.

I think Trudeau is awesome. He makes trump look like the jack-ass he is.

Totally correct there Sir,Trump and Vance where way out on line with Zelensky and bet it will back fire on them both.That makes America look weaker than Biden

Sadly, it seems America is shutting down for project 25 and America first. When you look at how the people given power by trump, it is the only conclusion

It's truly unbelievable how many individuals allow themselves to be gaslighted.....blinded by their TDS it no longer matters if anything is good for America...cnn knows the full context of that meeting and how disrespectful ZELENSKY was...but it doesn't matter showing clips to make trump look bad is what matters

Trump is Russia asset. This is what putin want his orange puppet to do. To destroy the us and its allies. Looks like this traitor doing a damn good job as we speak

trump is so bad that he made Trudeau look good...

I’ll say first that I’m a Canadian…\n\nTrudeau and his government has been in power almost 10years and in that time Canada has gotten progressively worse—the drug crisis; immigration; inflation etc etc. I find it shameful that it took a foreign leader (Trump) to ignite changes within my country. Are the tariffs fair to Canada? No, absolutely not but Trump is not the president of Canada—right, wrong or indifferent he’s looking out for the US. \n\nJustin Trudeau is a corrupt lame duck prime minister who technically resigned a month ago. \n\nTrump will listen to Canada and respect Canada when a new government is place

Thank you, PM Trudeau, for looking out for America & its people as well as Canada & its citizens. The bizarre aberration which is Trump is a threat to all.

Listen to the details people.... We get energy, building materials and fertilizer from Canada.. he forgot to mention cars. Nothing we can't do ourselves. We are fully energy independent... We do not need to import. Prices will drop. Cars... Trump is bringing back manufacturing... Prices will drop. Fertilizer... I mean shit and rotten food is not hard to get. Building material... We send them more than they send us. \n\nYou cannot just run on emotion. Thats what he is stirring in you. Look at the way he twist things. Is he directly lying... No... But he is cherry picking details. Canada gets a lot more from us than we do them and what we get from them is rapidly decreasing and he is in panic mode.

Tabernac! Trump just made Trudeau look like Winston Churchill. ?

that trump is a coward and bully! He looks unhealthy and he will probably die from a serious health issue before the 4 Year term!!!

I was born and raised in Siberia, occupied by Russia. I believe that America was and will remain the guiding star of the free world. Free people will not allow their country to join the club of dictatorships. How did this happen? I am looking for sources to read the comments of those who still believe that Trump is not destroying America, is not extinguishing the guiding star of all free people on earth. Where can I find them?

Of course trudeau talks a bunch of shit. LIAR!!!! ALL LIES!!! He has never spent a day in toronto where i live and fentynol is taking over! Homelessness everywhere. Drug users taking over playgrounds and transit systems. Ugh i hate him!!! Trump is looking after his country and all trudeau wants to do is point more fingers and make americans hate their own president and spreading lies and propaganda again! Hes a LIAR

Sigh ? … American here, I didn’t vote for him. Canada stay strong, I support you standing up for yourself and support you standing up to a bully. Honestly I’m just baffled by everything that keeps happening. It’s only been a month and I wonder what the next 4 years will look like. I don’t know what to do. I voted, that was my bit of voice, but the majority apparently wanted this. They made excuses for him, over and over again, and now we all have to suffer the consequences. He always told us who he was, so I don’t want to hear excuses if you voted for him! I’m pissed off, as well as sad.\nUkraine, my prays go out to you. The way your president was treated in the White House was abominable. Please know not all Americans are delusional enough to think what The Trump Dump did was ok in any way. Now we all just have to survive this shit storm as best we can, and stand up where, and when we are able.

putin once said trump is a useful idiot and the one that would bring the most damage to the country and look what he is causing.
