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.

UK is with Canada. America is no longer an ally to us either. Hatred is growing for the USA across the world at a rapid pace.

no Critical minerals from Canada, China and now also not from the Ukraine.. good luck america! rest of the world comes together as America isolates itself aligning with Putin!

You all around the world, making the mistake of siding with foolish leaders who's own public do not support them against Donald Trump--when the majority of Americans do--will feal the wrath of every single American, who is sick of being bullied by you. We do not have to pay your bills. We do not have to keep your country safe. Keep running your mouth, CNN and dividing this country and the world with your lies. Everyone knows Zelenskyy was disrespectful to Biden and Trump and Vance--who we owe nothing to. Ukraine is not an ally of ours. Ukraine will never be allowed to NATO. And all of you can enjoy the tariffs. We don't need you we don't model our behavior after you. You'll never be America. You will never understand what it means to be American. You will never come into our Oval Office and disrespect our president, Democrat, or Republican and get away with it. Shame on you for your lies! You know better but you get paid well. This is why your ratings are in the tank and only those lacking any logical critical thinking still watch you.

Trump wants Ukraine to bow to Russia so Russia can access its resources, thereby giving America Access to these resources, wherein Russia and America will become separate and independent joint super Powers. I cry and pray for the world.

Trump laughed at Biden but he is the same not OK old man now. He wanted to make America great again but raised inflation, lost neighbours, allies, buyers of military equipment and his own political profit. In one day America has become not the first country in the world but it has become known that EU helped Ukraine more and that all countries can live without US. ?

Stand aside, Trump. You've been kicked to the curb by a true leader in North America. Canada, and Mexico have shown the world how intelligent leadership and courage crushes whatever the random Russian-sucking fuck that Trump does.

America must now feel that voting for Trump will not make America great again, only lonely. They will soon bitterly regret this selfish path. The free world can also defend itself in this senseless trade war. It's a shame for the decent Americans who will also be affected by this.

It should be said the people who didn’t vote for trump are just as pissed off as the rest of the world. Remember that. Fact is in my opinion America hasn’t embodied the views it was founded on in a very long time and is likely a shell of what it used to be. Corporate greed and shareholders is what runs this country and it disgusts me to my core. Honestly I don’t wanna stay here and the more people I meet as my life has continued the more I feel like these aren’t my people and the more I feel that this place isn’t my home. I’ve no loyalty to my country anymore and I blame the greed and corruption my “people” have elected to vote in to power. It sickens and disgusts me and I am at a loss as to what to do.

It's a shame what this US administration is doing to us here in the US .....Wake up America before it's too late ...we are isolating ourselves from the democraty world

Please accept my apology. Not all America supports Trump and his efforts to smear our image which has always stood up for Democracy. Trump is so wrong for leadership of the Free World. God bless Canada which is courageous to stand up agains’t Trump and Putin when American seem to be totally confused about where their loyalty should remain.

America's economy was a juggernaut the day before Trump and his greedy band of thieves took over, and our strength was in our alliances with Canada, Mexico, and Europe. Our moral strength was in our unwavering support of Ukraine and opposition to Russia. In barely a month Trump has undermined and destroyed all the trust previous administrations (aside from his own) had built. By trying to rob our allies blind and turn the US into a kleptocracy, Trump is destroying the economy and our standing in the world at record pace. Maybe irreversibly.

Never would I have ever thought that I am happy that world leaders are against America but we are here. I fought for this nation, and we elected a dictator

Trump and vance are doing a lot of harm to America and its reputation around the world

If trump will take putin side would you still give him minerals? World already trust America to lead most of military…

Thank you PM Trudeau for your leadership!!! I wish we in America, had that! I am so sorry you and the rest of the world have to deal with this disaster Donald has created!! We as Americans are suffering, but we appreciate so much you all having solid boundaries to hopefully keep our cancer from spreading in the world!!

This is not about tariffs. It is about Trump unravelling all of America's relationships with its allies, to make the country weaker, in the service of Putin. Canada is just the first. But Europe will be next. Then America stands alone, too weak to be a world leader.

America is the laughing stock of the world.

Trump is a criminal and a liar. He is dangerous to Canada, America and the world.

What has Canada and European countries done to actually try and end the death and destruction from this war? Europe buys energy from Russia, and Canada is only giving 650 million dollars in weapons over three years, while America has supplied hundreds of billions of dollars in aid and military equipment. Zelensky goes around the world dressed in a military outfit with no desire to stop the slaughter of humans on both sides. There have been thousands of wars where, eventually, one side has to accept the reality that they can not win, Zelensky is unwilling to see this. President Trump was elected because we want his AMERICA FIRST AGENDA, and with us saddled with 36 TRILLION dollars of debt, this war needs to stop.

I’m not a politician. America already fights with other countries across world. Now we’re fighting with our neighbors. The elites politicians celebrities athletes the rich can survive. Tough for the average guy.

Trump has done 1 thing great. Unite the rest of the world against America. The downfall of the USA is here, sorry to all my friends and relatives in the USA. It's time to get out.

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.

??here I’m still in shock about what is happening in North America and the world too ☹️

America will implode. Even Russia has said they are watching and laughing waiting for you all to get weak and for the rest of the world to turn their backs then I guarantee you China, Russia and those terroristy countries will join forces against them. It's sad seeing Aneica go from the most powerful country to the arm pit of the world.

AMERICA - Leader of the Free World !!!! Oh, sorry. That is _SO_ 2024.

AMERICA - Leader of the Free World !!!! Oh, sorry. That's SO LAST YEAR.

This Canadian president is a leader.!!! Canada wont stand alone with out getting world wide support USA have been a superpower for decades and a true democratic country that the world admired. Today this have come to a end. 2025 will go down in history for the year when Americas greatness and No1 econemy ended. The respect and the trust for USA under Trump is long gone!!! For Trump to put tarifs on canada just to make them suffer so trump can get Canada as its 51 state is mindblowing. Trump aint putting those tarifs on Canada because of fentanyl when it comes from china. Tarifs on China is another story but that will hit the US market to and companys. I cant belive the americans are just swallowing this whole without doing anything or can a president do whatever damage he wants without consequenses?

America is right ... the only thing you are is a WEF puppet ... the world is being destroyed by the globalists ... we have not yet forgotten the strikes, it is your own fault that America reacts this way, you yourself are responsible

Make America Great Again? How about make America the laughing stock of the entire world?

As an American, who did not vote for trump i side with our neighbors in Canada, then and now. America should maintain and further their status as leader of the free world and free trade. Not try to bully other countries, especially not our neighbors and allies.

All countries must do what Canada is doing we tired of republican thugs trump his a devil sick crazy old man imperialist we are not leaving in the olden days the world has change America will be finished soon

As an American I Understand and Respect your Decisions. You must Protect your Country and its People. At this time this Administration under America's Care. Cannot be Trusted! It has been laid bare for the Whole World to See? Donald Trump is in some way Beholding to Putin. Why else would He Cowar to a War Criminal over Working with Friends in Democracy ? It appears that this Administration under Donald Trump is working with and siding with a War Criminal with Criminal Intentions to Divide up The Spoils of the World after they do Everything to Destroy it.\nStand Strong Canada You are The Better of The World. Stand up for Right ,for Truths and for Democracy. We are all Depending on You now.\n??❤️

America is right...all you are is a WEF puppet...the world is dying because of the globalists...we haven't forgotten the strikes yet

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?

Trump is a Russian mole and is reeking Havoc on the world in the name of Russia and his handler Putin !! wake up America get rid of this traitor

America has been getting ripped off for years and the world economy was running perfectly with that plan. Now we are trying to write anew and everyone is losing their minds!

“Let’s be clear Frenchman………\nPeople who actually serve my country are now being fired at alarming rates by rising oligarchs, and world traitors of international world trade….Those who will never set fire to the original constitution of the United States Of America nor will they break the humane will of the American people…”\n\nAs you were\n????‍?????‍⬛???‍?‍➡️?

America flourished most after abandoning conservative 1940s-style protectionism in the decades following World War II, particularly during the postwar economic boom of the 1950s and 1960s. This period saw the rise of progressive free trade agreements, global economic cooperation, and industrial expansion.\n\nKey moments include:\n\t•\tThe General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) (1947) – This laid the foundation for reducing global trade barriers, leading to increased economic growth.\n\t•\tThe Marshall Plan (1948) – Rebuilding war-torn Europe created strong economic ties and markets for American goods.\n\t•\tThe postwar boom (1950s-60s) – Rising wages, a strong middle class, and industrial growth were fueled by global trade and increased productivity.\n\t•\tThe creation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) (1995) – Building on GATT, the WTO further expanded global trade opportunities for the U.S.\n\nIn contrast, returning to outdated protectionist policies today risks reversing decades of progress, leading to economic stagnation, inflation, and weakened global influence.

My guess is, if Canada joins America as a province, it would be good, America could be really big for the next strategy against Russia + PRC, because it connects America, Canada, Alaska, it's really a big country, oh I forgot about Mexico too. Bigest in the world... Then lets warrrr

México nowdays has a efficient, knowledgeable. and honest president that wanted to have fair trade agreements with Canada and the United States ...however the US government choose to fight and blame the neighbors to the north and south by braking every single rule of the free trade among the three countries ......CHINA , CANADA AND MEXICO ....oviously will retaliate the same way and Definitely the US citizens will be the most hurt ....mexico always have been resilient from wars. Pandemics , bad politicians , economy , etc etc etc ....mexicans have the strength to recovery sooner than later and this one won't be diffrent .....mexico will continue to have agreements with Europe. Asia , and Latin America with the option to have talks with bricks ...we all know the world is totally diffrent.now .....The 1800s are gone and will never come back that's for sure !!

America under Trump has decided to be the World's biggest bully after Russia.

This is how you speak to your country and to the world, not like the Orange clown we have in America.

America's reputation around the Western world is in the toilet

All of Great Britain and Europe stands with Canada. KEEP ON ROCKING IN THE FREE WORLD. And that is not America.

You ask what it’s about…. obviously it’s about Trump’s thirst for power and money. His only goal is to accumulate more money. He doesn’t care who he harms in his quest for money. He doesn’t care about the American people. He didn’t care about our allies. He doesn’t care about anybody except himself. If he is successful, the world players will be Trump, Putin, North Korea and any other dictatorships fighting each other over earth’s resources. Trump‘s goal was never to represent the United States of America and bring prosperity to her Citizens. This is just about his thirst for money and power, obviously. He will destroy America in the same way he has destroyed all of his businesses.

As a Canadian by birth and an American citizen and US veteran by choice I detest Donald Trump. Trump is cancer that has metastasized to the whole Republican Party. General Milley was right when he said that Trump is the most dangerous person in America and by extension, the whole world. I stand with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine.

Ukraine is a lost cause and not America's problem, Canada should send some of the millions of Indians they're happily replacing their citizens with to go die in Eastern Europe instead of demanding the US play babysitter for the rest of the world for no gain

The same hypocrits who screamed Russian collusion, who said masks stop the spread of covid, the same people who said America should allow ilegals come thru our borders , the same people who said Jan 6 was an organized insurrection to keep Trump in power, the same America traitors who told us Antifa and BLM riots who burnt our cities were peaceful and that those who were let in the Capitol on Jan 6 were insurrentionists. The same people who wants us to believe there are unlimited genders and that kids can decide their gender and surgically reverse their biology. The same people who told us 2020 elections were legit and wanted to believe that 82 millions actually voted for Biden, the same people who said Trump would get us in world wars....only the idiots believe you!!
