Trudeau is good at brainwashing. It has nothing to do with the people. It has to do with this dictator regime who taxes everyone and everything in Canada. Basically. And don't want to stop. They leave their borders open and immigration here in Canada is out of control. They give refuge to criminals in Canada and no rule of law. This guy is a dictator and food at brainwashing in the media.

Go for it Canada, stand up against the Bully in chief, trump is a traitor who cares nothing about America nor its people. He is doing everything he can to destroy our relations with our allies.

I'm an American and I'm beyond disgusted that the convicted felon adjudicated rapist Dictator worshipper Dictator wannabe was allowed to run for any political office especially President. I believe Musk's vote counting system corrupted the election. I have never and never will vote for Trump and his evil co conspirators. Now some of the MAGA voters are regretting their votes, well they chose to believe the cons lies over the easily verifiable facts especially Project 2025 that again lied on national TV that he knew nothing about Project 2025 yet his name is on hundreds of pages in project 2025 documents. Trump and his goons belong in prison.\nI support and love Canada and Ukraine. Devastating that the real elected President Kamala Harris was robbed of that because of manipulation and foreign interference. Americans are suffering and the suffering will get worse except for the top wealthiest.\nThank you Prime Minister for standing up to the biggest deranged bully on Earth and all the countries that are supporting Canada.\nIt disturbs me beyond words, I have generations in my family that have served in our military, ,my father served in WWII and Korea he fought at the Battle of the Bulge and liberated Buchenvald concentration camp the atrocities he witnessed affected him for the rest of his life, and here we have a 5 time draft dodger whose rich daddy paid a Dr to falsify deferment paperwork for phoney bone spurs, he's a coward and a bully

I am an embarrassed American who knows that this so called golden age Trump speaks of is nothing but FOOL’S GOLD. We have a fool for a president.

Did he do the full list??? ?? just said they're building in Arizona. Tariff us nothing friend Donald ? ? Canadian spokesperson JT called him what?? This will be a rough ride 4sure JT. Could have just did the full list that was asked 2b done. ??‍♂️ NEW FLASH WORLD NORTH AMERICA WILL BE LOCK DOWN SOON. WHAT SIDE OF THE DOOR WILL U BE ON.???‍??

I’m always standing with American , forget this clown. I thought he was resigning anyway. A bunch of yall are supporting a country that buys nothing from us

Shut up trudeau. He did nothing good for canada. Lets talk about facts. Cost of life have double and also debt of canada. Then resign to run away from his own dumb mistakes to not take accountablity like a little kid.

Donald is NOT a smart man and has done NOTHING ever for the people of the US.

Dont buy nothing made in usa they suck anyways get stuff from mexico china canada to support them

Uh oh, he called him, Donald. I heard there’s nothing he hates more.

The Mexican President CLAUDIA SHEINBAUM writes to Trump and Musk on behalf of THE REST OF THE WORLD:\n\nSo, you voted to build a wall… Well then, my dear Americans, even if you don’t know much about geography—after all, for you, “America” is your country and not an entire continent—it’s important that before you lay the first stone, you know what you’re locking out with this wall.\n\nOutside, there are 7 billion people; but since the concept of “people” doesn’t seem to interest you much, let’s call them consumers instead.\n\nThere are 7 billion consumers ready to replace the iPhone with a Samsung or Huawei within 42 hours. They can also swap Levi’s for Zara or Massimo Dutti.\n\nQuite comfortably, within six months, we can stop buying Ford or Chevrolet vehicles and switch to Toyota, KIA, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Subaru, Renault, or BMW, which are technically far superior.\n\nThese 7 billion people could also cancel their Direct TV subscriptions and—even if we wouldn’t like it—stop watching Hollywood movies, opting instead for Latin American or European productions, which are superior in quality, content, and cinematography.\n\nAs incredible as it may sound, we can stop traveling to Disney and instead visit Xcaret in Cancún, Mexico, Canada, or Europe—there are many incredible destinations in South America, Asia, and Europe.\n\nAnd believe it or not: There are even better burgers in Mexico than McDonald’s—with higher nutritional value.\n\nHas anyone ever seen a pyramid in the United States? In Egypt, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, Sudan, and many other countries, there are pyramids with fascinating cultures. Take a look at where the wonders of the ancient and modern world are located… None of them are in the U.S. Too bad for Trump—otherwise, he would have bought and resold them!\n\nWe know that Adidas exists, not just Nike, and we can start consuming Mexican sneakers like Panam.\n\nWe know far more than you think; for example, we know that if these 7 billion consumers stop buying your products, unemployment will rise, and your economy will collapse so severely within your racist wall that you’ll beg us to tear it down. We didn’t want anything, but… You wanted a wall? Then you’ll get a wall.\n\nSincerely, \nTHE REST OF THE WORLD. \n\nPlease forward this message to 12 people. If you don’t, nothing will happen—except that many people won’t learn about these realities. \n\nCLAUDIA SHEINBAUM \nPRESIDENT OF MEXICO

As an American and a Trump supporter, I agree with these tariffs, but only equal to the tariffs other countries charge the United States on our imports. I do not agree with imposing this on our brothers and sisters to the north. I’m speaking of the good people of Canada. I have traveled to Canada and crossing the border was just like crossing into another state. Yes, there was a border gate which there should be, but I had absolutely no problem whatsoever. I hope our government can work this out very quickly and stop this foolishness. But to countries like China and Europe the United States should charge a reciprocal tariff as to what you charge us on our import. It’s only fair. Why are we paying an exuberant tariff for our goods entering your country and you expect to pay nothing with your goods entering ours. Most Americans, love Canada and love our Canadian brothers and sisters, we’ve always supported each other in world, wars, and other attacks against our respective countries. I pray this is resolved quickly, and then we can once again live United and in harmony.

Canada has been the preferred access point for criminals and terrorist for the past 4 years. I have a place right on the border and 8 months ago I caught a young East Indian who already had several felony in the states and had been shipped back to India in previous years. How the heck did that man get a student visa to come to Canada. There are 50,000 East Indian Students missing in Canada who simply used the visa to get into Canada and run the border. This is what we’re are dealing with. I live on the border and I’ve never seen this much traffic. Border guards are simply picking their targets and having to ignore others. So I ask u how do u think I feel about my property being used as an illegal highway bcz of your government incompetence. As someone who also works in native communities throughout Canada I’ll also Trudeau words fall like shit from ass. The drugs have ravaged native communities to the tune of 3/4 of the young ppl. Grandparents are raising the grandchildren and it’s all kept hush hush by the liberal media. They’ve done nothing to stop it bcz it normally boils down to minority groups who they brought in who are making it.

As Americans we pray for us and our fellow partners in different countries. \nOur brothers and sisters whoever you are we are praying for you as we are bringing ourselves we will get through this we are fighters with God's help and a Virgin Mary nothing will stop us and we show compassion, understanding and it will be hard we will try our best. ❤❤

Trudeau is an idiot. He's been sticking to the US for 4 years. Theirs really nothing I buy from Canada. We will start making our own products.

This is all just part of Trump's plan for dictatorship. It has nothing to do with fentanyl or trade imbalances. I'm surprised none of these CNN hosts and guests can't see through this. It's obvious where this is heading.

While I don’t agree with Trumps tariffs, I understand why he’s doing them. As a Canadian citizen, please don’t glamorize Trudeau- hes a spoiled rotten brat of a former PM. Nothing more. You’ve not lived the last 10 years under his totalitarian govt, suspending the rights of Canadians at will, insulting and dividing our country at will, taking away legal firearms owners rights rights at will (people who had to pass safety courses and are more vetted than RCMP officers). \n\nHe’s proven to be more fake than a $3 dollar bill. All the liberal & ndp’s in Canada are. He has the worst record in Canadian history as a PM, including the highest taxes, home prices, massive, unsustainable immigration, and the worst healthcare crisis in Canada’s socialized medical system since its inception. \n\nHe’s accumulated more debt than all previous PM’s COMBINED (as per the PBO). \n\nThen he comes on here after he resigned on Jan.6th - yes after cratering Canada’s economy methodically for the last 10 yrs - to inflame the POTUS and who will pay for that? Canadian and American working class citizens. \n\nIf you think Canada is so great, you’re either a wealthy boomer, or have no clue what it’s like to work for a living in this modern economy in Canada. People are required to work 2-3 jobs just to afford the basics. Wages have been stagnant since the 90’s here, with cost of living rising 600-700% in the last 10 yrs.

Of this speech is not bad intention nothing is. Puelre manipulation and speculation.

Don't get sucked in by this piece of garbage. He's excited to kill Canadas economy and finish implementing the Great Reset. You will own nothing and be happy. \nHe talks about fertilizer while he heavily restricts fertilizer in Canada. Ugh.... \n \nYou can't hate Trudeau enough.

And there's nothing we can do

The world got used to paying nothing for decades \nNow Trump is collecting \n\nRespect America

Who will be paying tariffs? Trudeau? No. It’s us Canadian. For years this govt did nothing much to attract new business or grow economy.

Trudea is the reason for these tariffs, lose trudeau and his carbon tax and your cost of living will reduce by 40% . Trudea don't care, he makes money no matter how much he puts canada in the red! He is purposely destroying Canada's economy for his corporate buddies to cash in as a monopoly, like the grocery chains and green companies etc. Trudeau is committed to putting canada in a fire sale for the world. We.f. agenda bail out at Canadians expense and freedoms. Trudeau is nothing but a actor a bad one at that!

Yes, but of course our PM assume that the cheetos actually is working for the benefits of the USA and not for the benefit of the people he owes money and favours to.\nIf the USA had a problem with fentynal and or migrants they should address it. Canada has nothing to do with USA internal issues.

Utterly embarrassed to be an American. I hope Canada shuts down EVERYTHING coming and going to and from Canada. It will hurt me and my fellow citizens, but there is simply nothing left that can make the point like it needs to be made.

Trump, I have nothing but expletives for you along with total disdain. The day you are removed for treason and everything else you're doing to this country and our people will be the day I laugh and dance and party in the streets. It's all coming for you and you partners in crime. Can't wait to watch you all fall!!!!

Greetings from Germany. Trump and Vance are nothing more than puppets of Elon Musk. Every decent American should stand up and oppose these criminals.

Trudeau has been so much better when he resigned and had nothing to lose. Just raw honesty

As a American, I have become entirely jaded and have nothing but frustration, anger and anxiety towards actions of the supposed leader of this nation. Hearing this leader speak is so refreshing.

This is beyond stupid. This will solve absolutely nothing except hurting everyone in North America.

Fair is fair! Trudeau has nothing to loose. He is on the way out!

Thank you for setting limits on the oligarchs! They understand nothing except money into the toll booths they've set up in the pathways to acquire products. They care nothing for the American people, let alone any other people. They are not interested in anything but disrupting and dismantling the US economy, as well as every other economy except Russian, so that they can THINK that they are controlling the world. As they are groveling at the feet of the Russian dictator, they are under the illusion that they will rule along side him. They will not and will be kicked aside as soon as they are no longer useful to him.

Trump is nothing but a cowardly puppet of Putin

Ah Trudeau - Donald is nothing like ‘smart’. Kick the big bǔffoon while he’s down.

I think these words mean nothing, one shoudl look at actual data. There have been a tremendous imbalance between the US and most of the world. US produces so much, have so many resourcers but could not compete. Instead, they were forced to open operations in foreign countries, which does not benefit US taxpayers. You like it or not, US was on a downhill if other countries would not agree to make American products competitive.

He has nothing to lose so he grows a spine.

Fellow US Americans it’s time to stand up. We cannot allow the Oligarchy to succeed here. Many have been deceived into believing that these men had the US people in mind as they came to power and it has been greatly proven that all Trump and Musk care about is strong arm power to become something anti American. Donald Trump should be seen as the highest risk to our national security today. He wants to weaken our country not make it great, harming our allies opens us up as a target for our enemies. \n\nCanada, beautiful nation, the US American people are so sorry, you have done nothing to earn this treatment. Boycott US goods, use any power you have to fight back against wannabe dictator Trump. Ukrainians, we are so sorry. The greater US People do not want this and we do not want Trump. \n\nUS people, keep boycotting these oligarchs while they leisure, don’t let them rest in peace, they don’t deserve it. We are the ones who are paying while they vacation and dine on our dimes, stolen from us.

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.

its crazy, potus wants us isolated , so he sell America to Russia like he sold it to Elon. THEY TRYING DESTROY US, LOOK THEY GOT PEOPLE IN PLACES THAT DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE JOB THEYGOT FOX HOST IN CHARGE OF THE MILITARY, THAT GOT A PATEL IN CHARGE OF FBI, THE GOT KENNEDY WHO LOOK LIKE HE ALWAYS SICK IN CHARGE OF THE HEALTH, THE FIRE ALL HALF FAA WHO WATCH OUR AIRPLANES THE FIRE PEOPLE WHO LOOK FOOD , THE FIRE WEATHER PEOPLE , (WAKE UP) I DONT KNOW IT SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE TRYING GOT UNALIVE AMERICA. REMEMBER THE CONSPIRACY THEORY ABOUT ALIMINATING HALF THE POPULATIION ,WELL IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT S THE GAME PLAN . (THIS IS ON IN MY OPPINION NOTHING FACTUAL BUT MY OPPINION) ALLEGEDLY

“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?

CNN has tried for 9 years to take this man down, tried to sway the public to think he’s the worst person on earth. Highlighted every civil and criminal case brought against him, misleading headlines to get your viewers to bite the bait and still nothing has worked and he’s president again?. This is not hyperbole when I say CNN is the most pathetic medial outlet in human history ????

this clown is responsible for this mess all of it and that is trudaeu donald wants nothing to do with this piece of crap

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.

TRUMP IS A MENTALLY ILL , WANNABE DICTATOR, NOTHING MORE. NEVER WAS , NEVER WILL BE THIS VETERAN'S PRESIDENT. HE IS A COWARD , NARCISSCIST AND TRAITOR TO OUR CONSTITUTION . DONT SELL OUT TO THIS DRAFT DODGER WHO DENIGRATES VETERANS. HE WAS EPSTEIN'S BEST FRIEND , GOOD CHRISTIANS. HE PARDONED THE LARGEST FENTANYL DEALER EVER. THAT YOUR DADDY , MAGA.

Omg...what a Freudian slip...getting Mike Spence's name mixed up with JD Vance...one was brave in the face of evil who wouldn't cave into bullying to accept an undeserved victory...the other is a boot-licking, ring-kissing pathetic excuse for a man who even when his Indian-born wife and half-Indian kids were subjected to rank racism...did absolutely nothing...privately Mrs Vance & her side of the family .. had to have been so let down when there was no push back from the VP.

Nothing wrong with reciprical tariffs, not one person has given me a argument against why its not fair yet?

Trudeau needs to understand he is dealing with a bully & a liar, he mentioned a quote of Trump being a smart guy making a dumb decision, there is nothing smart about Trump, you can’t reason with dictators….

SHUT off any energy going to America, do not do business with a criminal conman. NEVER. BOYCOTT America and buy only Canadian goods, nothing American. Boycott Costco.

YOU can't not exploit any mineral tonnes of crazy Liberals rules!! Under the Liberal you can't do nothing

Canada watch your border very closely you are dealing with a mad man in the US, he has already said he wants you as the 51st state. I know this sounds absurd but the things I have seen happening in the US, nothing would surprise me now.
