When it's laid out so clearly - it raises the question, WHY is Trump doing this? Why is he harming his own country and people? What is in it for him? Or is Putin behind this too?

Beware of all religions. “Beware of false prophets, men who come to you dressed up as sheep while underneath they are savage wolves.” –(The Prophet and Messiah Jesus of Nazareth at Matthew 7: 15)– \nFor God is our true Father. So never worship and pray in the way of the many false prophets of all religions. \n“But when you pray, go into a room by yourself, and shut the door. Pray to your Father who is there in the secret place; and your Father who sees what is secret will reward you openly. \nIn your prayers do not go babbling on like the heathen, who imagine that the more they say the more likely they are to be heard. Do not imitate them. Your Father knows what your needs are before you ask him. \nThis is how you should pray: \nOur Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, \nYour kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven, \nGive us today our daily bread, \nForgive us the wrong we have done, as we have forgiven those who have wronged us. \nAnd do not bring us to the test, but save us from the evil one. \nFor yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, for ever. \nAmen. \nFor if you forgive others the wrongs they have done, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others, then the wrongs you have done will not be forgiven by your Father.” – (The Prophet and Messiah Jesus of Nazareth at Matthew 6: 6-15) – \n \n“Pass no judgement, and you will not be judged. For as you judge others, so you will yourselves be judged, and whatever measure you deal out to others will be dealt back to you.” – (at Matthew 7: 1-2) – \n \n“In truth I tell you, if anyone obeys my teaching he shall never know what it is to die.” – (at John 8: 51) – \n \n“Always treat others as you would like them to treat you: that is the Law and the Prophets. \nEnter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it.” – (Matthew 7: 12-14) – \n \n“I am the gate; anyone who comes into the fold through me shall be safe. He shall go in and out and shall find pasturage. \nThe thief comes only to steal, to kill, to destroy; I have come that men may have life, and may have it in all its fullness.” – (John 10: 9-10) – \n \n“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” – (Matthew 7: 21) – \n“I am the resurrection and I am life. If a man has faith in me, even though he dies, he shall come to life; and any one who is alive and has faith shall never die.” – (John 11: 25-26) – \n \n“I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world” – (John 12: 47) – \n“Whoever then will acknowledge me before men, I will acknowledge him before my Father in heaven; and whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.” – (Matthew 10: 32-34) – \n \n“I am the way; I am the truth and I am life; no one comes to the Father except by me. If you knew me you would know my Father too.” – (John 14: 6-7) – \n \n“An expert in the law, [a leading religious Pharisee] tested him with this question: ‘Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?’ He answered, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind. That is the greatest commandment. It comes first. The second is like it: Love your neighbour as yourself. Everything in the Law and the Prophets hangs on these two commandments.’” – (Matthew 22: 35-40) – \n \n“There is no greater love than this, that a man should lay down his life for his friends.” – (John 15: 13) – \n \n“Do not call any man on earth ‘father’ ; for you have one Father and he is in heaven. Nor must you be called ‘teacher’ ; you have one Teacher, the Messiah.’” – (Matthew 23: 9-10) – \n \n“Take care that no one misleads you: For many will come claiming my name…” – (Matthew 24: 4) – \n“Many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many; and as lawlessness spreads, men’s love for one another will grow cold. But the man who holds out to the end will be saved. ” – (Matthew 24: 11-13) – \n \n“Teach them to observe all that I have commanded you. And be assured, I am with you always, to the end of time.” – (Matthew 28: 20) – \n \nYours, in true Spirit and in our one given prayer, 2gointruth, on Tuesday the 4th of March 2025: – (Please read Matthew 5: 14-16) – Where every minute (of both day and night) can be a new beginning for any one of us. Let it always be you. Pray to God often, as prescribed above, before it is too late.

This Question goes towards trump Who Took Care Of Our U.S Citizens When No One Can Fly On 9/11 Canada Who Helped With Our Fires Canada. Trump you call yourself a Man Of God does the bible say Love Your Neighbor

Why is Trump acting so dumb and erratic? Question for all who have the answer…

I think Trump is the negative of what people voted for.\nHis decisions are questionable...

CNN is unwatchable. Why do these narcissistic talking heads believe we want to listen to their commentary instead of Trudeau taking questions?

Just curious why so many support Canada as Americans? If you look at the spending and trade throughout the world, America and Americans have been footing the bill for a long time. What exactly is wrong with America putting America first and getting a fair deal with the rest of the world we do business with? It's our taxpayer dollars that fund this and we have been overpaying for decades now. Honest question.

Someone asked me . If Canada and USA went to war where would i stand. I would fight with canadians. Well it depends.... question what is the canadiam dollar worth? Hmmm... decisions... decisions

1/2: Myself and the saner half of the US that read, understood, and voted against Proj 2025 understands why they need to levy retaliatory tariffs especially as a Michigander who's lived less than 4 hours from Canada all her life, who has family in Quebec and Ontario, and is a job-seeking policy professional and international trade nerd who now cannot in good faith seek a job in the federal government. We have been looking and still do look to Canada as a model quite a bit and love Canada and Canadians to pieces. We Michiganders especially in the central and eastern UP and Detroit and Ann Arbor area are friends, coworkers, and family of Canadians. Some are even dual citizens. It is sad that it's come to this. \n\n2/2: I still personally just can't wrap my head around how a trade deal Trump put together himself and called the best (the USMCA in question) is all of a sudden so bad. Logic doesn't work with these types of people... I really want **someone!!** to ask him/ admin officials about the USMCA **to their face** and see what they say because I am so upset by this nonsensical and corrupt administration.

Netherlands here; this is how a good leader sounds which you want to follow. Calm, wel thought out speech, good answers of the questions, easy to understand (no difficult words are used). \nCanada we stand with you! if you guys want to join the European union, you’re welcome.

We don't want this either, Mr. Trudeau. Unfortunately 49.9% of voters in this country DO want it because they follow orders from the orange man without questions. And the rest of us must suffer due to this minority.

My question is why only now you closed the border and prevent fentanyl and other illegality to pass over the border a.o child trafficking etc why not during biden's presidency??

The truly sad thing is, we've sat through this dumbass movie before and so we already know it doesn't end well. My question is, why the hell are we watching it again??!! Republican party should not be allowed to vote again ever.

would have loved to have gotten to listen to him answer all the questions instead of you 3 blah blah blah the same things you said 10 min earlier. Now i have to go find the full thing elsewhere so i can hear it all.

Question; is Donald Trump STUPID ????????

I agree. Here is a perplexing question which may shine some light into what is happening here. Why are we always hearing what comes from Canada into the US when more fentynal and illegal guns come into Canada from the US than the other way around? What are they doing for us?\nFentanyl going into the US was just an excuse.

Smart move Canada, you tried very hard to work with an idiot but he cannot be trusted. I have only one question, will Canadians consider accepting America as one of its provences as we would have so much more to gain under your government not to mention the much better character of Canada's people

Bad for Canada. Bad for America. Bad for the world. The question is whether the majority of MAGAs abandon Trump after a recession begins because of Trump's policies. I'm not sure. Maybe? For sure, they'll try to blame Biden. And some just want Trump to fight the culture war and are willing to accept the consequences of an economic downturn so long as trans people are restricted on the bathroom they can use. Some are rich enough that they wouldn't be affected by a recession. As if world events weren't already volatile enough.

I have to start questioning Trumps decisions in government.\nIs he deliberately trying to sabotage and Destroy your own country?\nThis behaviour is becoming of a saboteur?????

I just watch mr trump speak with regards to tariff impose on canada mexico and china..he's proud in saying that a lot of foriegn companies will soon build factories and offices in the US. Providing billions of jobs and revenue. He said that if these companies would come to the United States where will be no tariff, lower taxes and easy life for the Americans. My question is: is he trying to kill other countries?? He said Ukriane is gambling with WW3, well i can say its WAR with GUNS..what he is doing is already WW3 using economic saborage...just my opinion...

Now are there Americans clever enough to listen, that's the question!!

Why are you interrupting the Q&A merely to re-state what Trudeau just said, so that we can't hear the next question?

The U.S.-Canada trade war is just a puppet show. The real play might be happening elsewhere. So the real question is: Where should we actually be looking? What’s the big picture we’re missing?

Sooo wht happens when Trump gets pissed and decides to take Canada ? Just a question from the UK

The big question is why USA? How can maga follow so blindly?

Question Americans and Press how Rich more rich will Trump be and is he aligning himself when he is DONE BEING PRESIDENT?! He is taking over companies and communities for Himself while using a USA badge as President. This is not Well and it is the SECOND MONTH OF THE YEAR WE HAVE 3&3/4 years left wow Jesus!!

Why do other Countries need to sort out the drug problem in the US....surely they can do it \nthemselves from within???? the next question is do they actually want to sort it out????? \nhave they made any efforts yet??? even to their own Pharmacies...seems it's a $$$ spinner!

Shut up and play the press questions.

???????? here,If there’s one thing I learned in university as a political science graduate, and I did take a US government course was part of my degree. I thought that there were so many checks and balances on the president of the United States, but seeing his actions, I am very confused at how he is not being questioned for his mental stability and his actual ability to lead your country I mean to what degree is the definition of treason not applied I don’t understand how the president of the United States can now align himself with Russia and destroy allegiances with friends and allies This is not seen as treason?\nTo my American readers… just remember the United States knows no better friend than Canada….. so does any of this make sense? How is it that we are the enemy now and your president wants to support Russia is he a Russian operative? How are you not removing this guy from power where are all these checks and balances that you always bragged about through my entire life ?

Didn't Trump originally sign off the treaty he doesn't like, maybeI'm missing something. England here, questioning if our intelligence agencies should cut ties with the American agencies at the moment.

Hey liberals, question for you\nIf this war ends up in a world war. You know trump will stay president right?

Trump's agenda:\n1. Destroy public institutions to place my followers and enrich my billionaire brothers. \n2.Ban all journalists who ask uncomfortable questions.\n3. Destroy our friends and allies.\n4. Protect killers' and dictators' interests.\n5. Make a great party with porn actresses and dance over ucranian and gaza citizens' bodies.

I hold no grudge Canada. Do what you must - from a US citizen in New Jersey.\nJust an FYI: my husband and I have vacationed in Canada many times. Just last year we did a 7 day cruise in Canada. Your country is beautiful and so are your citizens . In all these years and trips we have never met a single questionable Canadian. Your friendly, kind, fun, interesting and just “ good people” you’d like to share a drink with

Cult-45, I have questions. \n Are you tr*itors happy now!?\n Are you enjoying the pain your King is putting our citizens, and other countries, in just because you love bullies!?

i hope you can stand the eventuality and significant economic and interpersonal effect this will promote. i agree principally with none of this, its unnecessary and extremist in leaning. but i can stand it and saw this ahead of time as eventual. my question is can you stand these economic effects . did they ask you on the campaign trail? well . i also suspect as an independent that we will be both affected and tested. Consider those in power in government and big business who see to these situations becoming realities for American citizens , remember they live in mansions and have generational wealth. they can lose billions and withstand it. They will not now or ever feel the effects of their poorly thought through actions. we will. we will have to. I'll never ask anyone to do something i wont.i suspect our leading majority which i came from formerly up until this point wont balance this situation. keep that in mind.

has anyone asked the question why is trump doing it, theres obviously a huge reason why, clearly its to get something done of some sort.

American here, quick question? Can I seek asylum in Canada?

united states needs to learn to depend on their selfs. just like back in the old days. not ask for anything from anyone else. do we really need it that bad come on now. do we. thats the question. He So Vein worried how about the people who are backed up from gaza or other foreign places who got a pass to get into canada. but just put them on hold. some have starve to death waiting. just saying.

americans r so dumb they cant even recognize that article 14 sec 3 of the constitution disqualified conald from holding a federal job. they are so dumb they wont even question why hes disqualified. They are so dumb they dont even know that conald is not a president, and they keep calling him president. They are so dumb they would let a rapist, pedo, thief, insurrectionist, conman, felon into their house even after knowing hes this immoral. how dumb is dumb is just limitless after witnessing the current state of america

Did you see the clip with Keir Starmer and Donald Trump in the Oval Office Starmer gives Trump a letter from King Charles Trump opens it supposedly reading it then shows it to the camera and then requests Starmer to read a section. What the hell why didn't Trump read it himself what reading is beneath him. The question here is can Donald Trump read I think not this is why he has never read any history books which leads me to my next question. How can an illierate man become the President of the United States? Mind boggling and this is why he dances at Maralago he is saying to himself I can't read and these fools made me President!!!

Serious question to the Canadian citizens. We'd like to change our vacation plans from Florida to Quebec. Will we be welcomed or despised? Sincerely, an American citizen horrified by our train wreck of a leader.

Well pay your bills asshike. This chump is going to be hard learned like Zelenskyy. You do not treated us son! You got that!? Any questions?

Question for CNN do you think trump will send troups to Russia to support putin ?

No one watches CNN anymore, they kiss the ring.\nAny anchor person that questions? The Republicans gets banned. All thatslleft is a bunch of suckles.\nLike that, Bash Jake

Big nothing speech full of lies.\nThen goes and tries to threaten the American people, trying to use our suffering to manipulate the situation.\n\nWake up call we have been suffering inflation it has been going up for years with these shady trade deals from Canada. \n\nSo what we should just keep suffering and not call into question the trade deals that have been screwing us?

Unbelievable that the whole world has to deal with this unqualified Criminal. They all have to speak to him as if the trade War has anything to do with them or Commerce. When in reality it's all about stealing from the poor to give to the rich. Trump does not like that he is the president to ballooned the US deficit more than any other president in history. This was done because of his tax cuts for billionaires the first time around. He wants to extend the tax cuts but he has been warned what it will do to the deficit. So tariffs are his plan to put back into the US coffers what will not be going in from billionaire taxes. The Red Hat Club has been stupid enough to buy the tariffs have anything to do with immigration or drugs. It's so easy for Trump to use these trigger issues to commit his crimes and then excuse it. The cult never questions if they're told it has something to do with hating immigrants. Tariffs are paid for by the US citizen. The little guys. It allows the US government to become a middleman in every transaction. Getting a cut when it has done nothing to deserve it. It is the way Russia runs things. Trump is always using the Russia Playbook of how to dismantle a democracy. It is the opposite of free trade and capitalism

Well... the question ⁉️ IS?? ARE WE the PEOPLE READY to FIGHT NOW??\nIF SO, LET'S STAND ALL TOGETHER and WE WILL WIN ????!!!

I stand with canada and Mexico. My question is why trump chose such a idiotic path? Its like he wants to cause chaos. It's like he wants to destroy our stability. He seems to be more like Putins tool everyday. This is action and others are not acceptable. Id like to introduce a bill to allow a special election by the people to remove any president or elected official whoes actions are detrimental. I think a 2/3 majority is fair. I welcome and comments to my post. Im just a concerned citizen trying to keep some control over our country when our checks and balances have become inadequate.

The question that needs to be asked is what’s Trump’s moneymaking angle on imposing tariffs. Trump only does stuff where he personally can make money. Somebody or some group or entity is paying him somehow to impose tariffs on America’s main trading partner and ally. That’s the only way this makes any sense.

Why are yall talking over him answering questions geeze.
