As an American I can't make this make sense. I still can't make sense of a single person voting for this incompetent charlatan let alone enough to put him back in the White House.

Things are really bad if Trudeau is making sense

The only way his actions make any sense is that Trump is a traitor and in Putin's employ.

This is very scary. Again, what Trump is doing makes no sense - there is no economic or political sense to it. So what is he doing it for ?? To reduce our trade deficit? We have a huge deficit with Canada because we import so much oil from them, which our refiners require. On top of that we get Canadian oil for first cheap when compared to the global price mark for oil. This keeps US petroleum prices LOW! So okay if this is the issue, why not just find ways to improve the economics of U.S. oil production instead of smacking all Canadian imports with a 25% hammer ??? He has ulterior motives and it’s to weaken the American spirit and sell what he has on American to Russia. And our Congress isn’t doing anything !!!

The USA president Trump wants everything to be manufactured and sourced locally from the United States of America. He knows what happened during COVID-19 and what problems the world experienced because of a global supply chain. Now while it doesn't really make sense with Canada who is right next door the Canadians were given the opportunity to integrate into the USA so there could be some motive in that. And why wouldn't they want that anyway? Just remove the Canadian border and everyone becomes the USA. Why not?

The only way that what's happening makes sense, is if Trump is legitimately a Russian plant, because there's only one country benefiting from all of this and it isn't the US.

Wait so if tariffs are so bad for the country imposing them and that trump is so dumb to impose tariffs why would they retaliate with tariffs if there so bad for the country imposing them? It makes no sense. If trump is wrong for imposing tariffs why respond with your own?

You shut down your countrymens bank accounts despite there being no illegal funds deposited. Make that make sense.

Makes zero sense to beef with Canada ??

Wow. This guy is making some real sense. What a difference with Putin's puppet in the White House in Washington.

Yes, the number two in the Oval Office is Pence, and his words often come across as cheap, bullying tactics. Instead of offering real leadership or thoughtful discussion, he uses language that tries to intimidate and put others down. His approach often feels like he's trying to hold onto power by scaring people, rather than standing on solid ground with strong ideas. This kind of talk may work for some, but it only creates more division and gets in the way of real progress.\nThe biggest mistake was introducing tariffs without any backup plans in place. The bottom 60% of U.S. citizens will likely struggle to make ends meet in less than two years, stuck behind the barriers of these tariffs. The idea that South American countries might step in to help the U.S. seems unrealistic. More likely, the U.S. will find itself isolated, facing political instability—and to put it bluntly, a loss of trust—thanks to an overinflated ego and a sense of entitlement.\nCould the U.S. turn to African countries for their natural resources? It’s possible, but this effort probably won’t be successful. Most African nations, except for those in the Sahel region, are just beginning to recover from the effects of colonialism. Many are now building their own paths and are more likely to align with China’s influence rather than the U.S. Even if the U.S. tries to get resources from Africa, it will likely face challenges from both local resistance and growing competition from China.

``MAKE THAT MAKE SENSE`` ... A RESIGN Prime Minister adress on TV the USA policy... a ; RESIGNED !!! This CLOWN have NO RIGHT to talk in the name of CANADIANS because hey have RESIGN. This is a JOKE, a slap in the face to ALL Canadians... what a SHAME !!! If Justin Trudeau go HOME : They will not be trouble with the USA.... BUT this little guy think he is more intelligent than everyone else. PATETHIC ! Trudeau was the PUPPET of Europeens ... ; THEY WANT A JOB AT L`ONU... ALWAYS is PERSONNAL INTEREST BEFORE CANADIANS INTEREST !!!

It sure does make sense. A bully always picks on the weakest Zelensky Trudeau.

Make that make sense? ok, here it is.—-Trump is the most evil villain the world has ever known.-In exchange for helping Trump win both elections-Putin was handed classified documents providing Russia with the technology to determine the precise location of each deployed U.S. Navy submarine that's armed with ballistic missiles.-\nBecause of this transaction ALONE the country has no other option but to cease being the United States of America and fulfill it's role as Russia's latest conquest.\nThis is the result of allowing extreme racism to reign and placing an eminently compromised degenerate in the highest office.

I'll dare him make more common sense than the king of America.

Everything Trump has been doing makes perfect sense when you view it through the lens of Russian influence. Is Trump so embarrassed about a video of him in a Russian hotel room with sex workers, doing pee stuff, that he’s willing to tank America and the rest of the western world? \nPutin cannot believe his luck, regardless of why it’s happening.

is trump developing cognitive deficiencies?, is he hypnotised or by other means manipulated? even from his strange points of view this doesn't make sense at all.........

What doesn't make sense is the United States has now become a dictatorship apparently..... Few people actually understanding or are behind what the apparent dictator is doing...

Some MAGA maniacs, they may be listening to this may experience brain burst , too many words in one press conference that all are understandable and make sense and can be fact checked

Make that Make Sense! Standing with our ally. Canada is Standing on Business!

RIGGGHHTTT!!! Make that make sense!! Tell em again

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.

If you think that trump is a putin’s puppet things start to make sense

Great listening to Trudeau a person that makes sense unlike the grifter that we have

This is just a sampling of what happens when you elect an official do the highest office in the land while this individual Donald Trump is Holden s official position as dog catcher is out of his ability. The issue on fentanyl, is a intoxicant that will not and cannot be defeated. This is a total failure on the government's inability to protect its own citizens that is their number one job.. The only solution that I have heard that remotely makes any sense is the Cato institute conclusion that the wisest route to go is completely legalization with age restrictions. While this may not be the desired outcome it's the only one that I see that makes any sense whatsoever it seems that when a solution like this offered so many individuals who have no gravitas in this matter will come back to the same nonsensical bulshit that they're going to stop the flow that is absolutely impossible. However we will continue on that course and we will continue to fail. The Cato Institute was initially funded by the Koch brothers a extremely conservative organization that gets together a group of the brightest and the best in trying to determine what is the best solution.the Koch brothers were the group that invented the tea party I would love for anybody who disagrees with this post. I would like anybody who thinks that this is a far-fetched idea ,all I ask is that if you disagree with the finding that it should be legal with age restrictions if you disagree I would like to hear a solution that you have in mind that you think is better than the Cato Institute finding. I am under the impression that you do not have anything that remotely resembles a solution to this terrible problem. Right off the bat, with uality control, you'll stop hundreds of thousands of deaths. All of the issues that are being dealt with are just so screwed up because we've already been through this before. After making a constitutional amendment to ban the manufacturing of alcohol it was reversed and I hope that the country realize that we cannot win this battle with the same mindset. The only reason why fentanyl is such a dangerous intoxicant is because there's no quality control. Also the cartels are not affected negatively \nBy allowing the government deal with this problem. the end result would be not only do you save lives but you also have put a very negative Spike through their heart of the cartel in the pocketbook. Incense elan musk & DOGE cost cutting measures since this War on drugs has caused over a trillion dollars and no 6:28 results. The DEA does not remotely live up to its mission statement and has failed every year since that policy was put in place. I would love to hear any feedback and a solution that is remotely possible.. let's hear some original ideas that the country would benefit from.. the ball is in your court.

I think we might be making a mistake by saying that Trump is being played by Putin. I am beginning to believe more so that he is an agent of Russia with a sense of agency and the people being played are the people choosing to work for him.

Trudeau speaks many words, I understand them, they make sense. trump speaks many words, I understand nothing, they make no sense ??❤??????

The United states has very quickly lost the respect and TRUST of the entire World. With so much going on in the World right now this makes absolutely no sense. There is literally NO reason for this except to punish Canada. Everyone is already struggling just to make ends meet these days after C0vid and this will RUIN lives. The lives of your once best friend and ally. Canada and the World will not forget this. This is a direct attack on the people of Canada. Disgusting state of affairs . Americans , you better start standing up against this fool before your once amazing country is destroyed from within. Things are already out of hand and only going to get worse. Its very sad.

Make you make sense Mr. Trudeau!

This idiotic game by the Trump-Vance gang only makes sense if they are in fact (hidden behind the pseudo-nationalist MAGA nonsense) working for Putin. And if they want to destroy our Western democracies, also in the interests of Putin. And China is the laughing third party.

Thank You PM Trudeau, but the point IS to hurt the people, because a broken people are easier to control while you stage a bloodless coup, with the beneficiaries being Russia and the billionaire oligarchs. Create confusion, chaos and fear and you control the people. Threaten their very way of life and create instability and you control the people. Rage and rant and bully them into submission and you subdue them into accepting a new status quo.This doesn't make sense because that's not the point. There is a silent coup enacted by a hostile foreign entity underway!

“Let that make sense.” None of this makes any sense. WTF is wrong with our neighbor? Why haven’t the people who have the power to stop this insanity doing nothing?

He’s the common sense president….helping Russia and blasting allies. Makes total perfect sense, right?! We clearly have our common sense way…thank you Mr Trump for showing us who your real ally is. We needed this lesson for the help we gave on 911 etc. shame on us! I hope we’ve learnt a valuable lesson.

I wonder if Trump is trying to manufacture a war with Canada to justify us taking them over like he wants. That's about the only thing that makes a trade war with Canada makes sense (not that it's OK)

Can anyone who voted for trump make these tarriffs make sense to me?

Yes make that make sense who are they

Wow, articulate strong talk, no lies, no propaganda, no bluster, none of the total and complete unrelenting bullshit we have endure on a daily basis from the sociopathic delusional asshole that currently occupies the White House. It should be no surprise that our leadership chooses to blame all of our problems on someone else, because that's exactly what they do every day. We have a drug problem, it's because of Canada and Mexico. We have an immigration problem, likewise Mexico and Canada. We have a deficit problem, that's because of the EU and NATO. Our problem is our government, specifically Republicans who won't accept the simple truth: you want to solve problems you have be disciplined and smart. You have to spend money to fix your problems instead of blaming some else and trying to get them to pay for it. You pay to solve your problems instead of giving huge tax cuts to people who don't need them. You stop lying to your people. You want to change the trade imbalance? Build products that other countries want at a price that makes sense. The EU has no laws that prevent American car manufacturers from selling their cars in Europe. American car companies make shitty cars. They make cars that are too big, that don't make sense for European where streets can be very small and gas is very expensive. The US manufacturers don't make a single small car in thos country that can compete with European cars. US agricultural products are laced with poisonous chemicals that are outlawed in the EU because they kill people. Our governmeent doesn't give a shit about that because to grow healthy food means you have to cut profits, almighty dollars, instead of grow things that the rest of the world will accept. We have an idiot for president who thinks he knows more than anyone else and an idiot party that won't tell him the truth. This is going to cost us big time. We are going into recession, probably a long one because we don't have real leaders and the president on his best day is nothing more than a reality TV personality, and not a very entertaining one at that.

the only thing that makes sense is trumps taking orders from putin . time to drag the traitor out of the Whitehouse NOW !

That makes a lot of sense when they’re strongest ally is Israel world’s biggest violater

So nice to listen to a man who is educated and makes sense for a change, standing with Canada xxx UK

People of the US, please listen to this grownup. What he’s saying makes perfect sense.

American here and no, it doesn’t make sense. I don’t know what’s wrong with him.

Make That Make Sense. Here you go Trudeau. . If US aligns with Ukrain, as very very sad as this situation is, Trump would be declaring opposition with Russia. Then China aligns with Russia. Then WW3 starts on North American soil. Did Trump word everything right? Absolutely NOT. NOPE. However… I don’t want a war either. Trump should have just stayed out of it. \n\nLastly Trudeau you liar. You said “no one wins in a trade war…”. Yet you respond to tariffs with tariffs. You just started a trade war!!!! \n\nHow’s that for making sense enough for you!!

This pansy is PM OF CANADA---- make that make sense!!!

Nothing Trump does makes sense until you accept the reality that Trump serves only at the pleasure of Vladimir Putin. Nothing about trade wars and tariffs makes sense. Nothing about pulling out of NATO makes sense. Nothing about threats of invading our allies makes sense. Nothing about gutting our Federal government makes sense. Nothing about giving Elon Musk every American's personal information makes sense. Nothing about sharing intelligence and giving Russia access to sensitive national security material makes sense. Only when you consider what benefits Vladimir Putin does Donald Trump and MAGA make sense. JD Vance is now threatening Ukraine, demanding payback for American aid. There are no longer any checks and balances. We've been betrayed.

It makes no sense and I can’t stand the fact that it’s happening

Trumpf is disgustingly evil. I stand with Trudeau SMH ??‍♀️ this makes no sense at all but we all know the truth why he’s appeasing Putin.

‘…doesn’t make economic sense, doesn’t make strategic [global security] sense’ Hmm, who does it make sense for? Oh yeah, M_THERF__KING PUTIN!

From Portugal Its make sense if is a Russian asset saving Mr. Putin from economic and war disgraces

Make sense, please!!! The idiots that vote trump?????
