Mexico has a female president? Hahaha, even Mexicans nowadays are less sexist and more progressive than Americans

Biggest loser from this trade war is Microsoft's video gaming division.\n\nWhile the Playstation 5 and Nintendo Switch are made in China and Japan, the Microsoft X-Box Series S/X are American made.\n\nAs a result, the PS5 and Nintendo Switch will not face a 25% tariff from the Canadian Government, but the X-Box Series S/X will.\n\nI'm surprised that Bill Gates and Microsoft are not fighting for Canada and Mexico even though they have everything to lose.

If you are here illegally. Go home. Africa, or what ever go home. Africans don't like Black Americans anyway even if they did your here illegally. GO HOME.

Imposing tariffs means ordinary Americans pay more, reducing their disposable income. And then there comes the tax cut, which disproportionally benefits the rich. This is essentially socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor. Trump knows how to make Billionaires even richer.

India will buy all the american and even Russian oil. India will collaborate with USA on every issue as we have much in common. If push comes, USA will put a naval blockade.

I often wonder how individuals of such limited intellectual capacity manage to ascend to positions of elite power. Does Donald Trump even possess a functioning brain? His haphazard implementation of tariffs, left and right, raises the question: who ultimately bears the cost? Spoiler alert—it's the American people. In short, Trump is fabricating excuses to line his own pockets, masquerading as a so-called 'businessman' while operating more like a seasoned scammer. Cough Businessman? Hardly.

It's not just all the parties supporting Canada's counter tariffs. The Canadian people are in support, across political, cultural, economic and geographical lines. Canada has not been as unified about anything that I can remember (and I'm old). Plus, Canadians are a stubborn people with a more community oriented attitude than the USA and we don't like bullies. If we have to change brands of food, stop drinking bourbon and American beer, pay a bit more, even pay more taxes to cover the costs for people affected... so be it. BUT... when the tariff's are lifted, don't be so sure we'll just start buying American again. Stubborn also means we don't let things go easily.

The best thing Trump has done for Africa is to frreze the Aid and return the illegal migrant even he wants he can return all the african . This can help the puppet irresponsible president to think. Trump and his NATO allies must think of removing their military basesfrom africa .\nTrump and his family including all the cau asian must be deported too America belongs to the native American Yes or No ?

I want our Canadian stores to voluntary withdraw ALL AMERICAN GOODS ASAP and replace them Canadian or international replacements be it European, Chinese, Australian, Brazilian, African, Indian or even Mongolian! Economic boycotts and voting with our wallets is the only thing that will make psychotic authoritarian despots think twice and make no mistake he is!

The Americans will soon be poorer and more isolated than ever. Trump wants to make America great again? He is going to piss everybody, even the few nations that had kept good relations with US.

Unfortunately, even if Trump has to back down and gets absolutely nothing out of this charade, he'll claim victory, and his supporter will claim it was all a brilliant negotiation strategy. (Remember, facts never matter to the American right-wing.)

As a European living in Canada I noticed right after we got here that quality and even availability of good European product is lacking. All the American backwards product never impressed me. The only thing is that Canadians are so slow with everything. Also nice Toyota trucks, right from Asia, I never understood that just because they aren't available in the US, why don't we have them here?

For the vast majority of Americans, including Trump who don't know this: \n- 90% of all aluminum used in the USA comes from Canada. \n- 80% of the potash used to grow food on US farms comes from Canada. \n- Steel is made in Canada. - Uranium is exported from Canada. \n- Minerals needed for electronics are exported from Canada. The only alternatives are China and Russia. \n- 60% of all imported oil in the US comes from Canada. \n- Electricity produced in Canada is delivered to the states of New York, Vermont, Maine and over 20 other US states. We’ll soon find out if convicted felon Trump and his supporters need Canada when that electricity gets turned off. If Trump can rip our mutually-negotiated agreements so can Canada. We did not ask for this economic war nor did we start it. Trump did. \n \nIt's also time to super-tax every pound of US coal being exported through Roberts Bank Super-port in Delta, British Columbia, Canada. The American coal exported through Roberts Bank does not even pay a provincial carbon tax like all BC residents pay. Canadians are about to show Trump what happens when you consistently lie and stab your best customer and neighbour in the back. We are not afraid of Trump. Canada is the second-largest country in the world by land area and we have the longest coastline in the world, with over 243,000 kilometers of shoreline. We will continue expanding our trade with Pacific Rim countries, Europe, Mexico and beyond. They all need and want our lumber, minerals, oil and gas, grass fed beef, and the dependable, respectful trading partner that we are.

Its a joke Trudeau acting like he is concerned about the American people when he doesnt even have any concerns for the Canadian people.

trump lies to his nation and others nations too. fentanyl is not even a real issue. theres like 1 percent of usa fentanyl coming from canada. i hope americans will get rid of him. this is an unjustified tariff against an ally country and its unacceptable. usa are responsible to take care of their own borders in the first place.

The best thing you can do if you're not an American citizen or even if you are an American citizen not to buy any American products. This would include subscriptions to places like YouTube and Facebook American software food items cars etc.

Even if I somewhat despise Trudeau, *I definitely root for Canada* with regards to the American bully-tactics and megalomaniac Trump. Canada should move even more towards Europe and align itself with its European brethrens. A given strategic win-win decision. *Hail Canada!*

Americans don’t seem to understand that all the “cool things to do and see in the USA” you don’t need to actually live in the USA to enjoy those we can just get on a plane and fly to those places for vacation just like Americans do. We had our honeymoon on Oahu, stayed two weeks in a VRBO in Waianaie with all the native Hawaiians, rented a jeep, drove around, saw all the things, felt bad for all the service workers who live only on tips under labor laws that a third world dictatorship wouldn’t even subject its people to.\n\nNotice how all the things Canadians criticize America for it’s for being needlessly cruel and horrible to people when there’s the option to be compassionate and supportive and ethical?\n\nBut then every thing Americans criticize Canada for it’s for being “too compassionate”, “too supportive”, “too caring” when the option American say we should have taken instead was the the option of unnecessary cruelty?

i was in Minneapolis and it looked like Somalis had taken over all Uber driver jobs, and min wages jobs.Most were illegal. Even the liberal senator was Somali and always spoke against American values.

Stay out ,!!! We don't even have enough programs and money to help Americans , because of crap like this !!

CNN...it's easy to predict their opinion...and I'm not even an American...I'm European and I'm THIS close to support Trump...after that old, senile Biden...

We need to stop bringing Somolians over to our country, giving them housing, food, and medical assistance when we Americans can't even get help from our own states because everything is already taken up from all these disgusting, disrespectful refugies!!!

With Trump even native Americans in trouble last person the wife will have to be deported man mad.

Lmao. I know a lady just recently thst married and American. They moved to Florida and she wouldn't even go out.. so they moved to Georgia..

America has been invaded. We are going to have to end up doing the same as Poland is now doing to illegal immigrants, and also the politicians enabling this insanity must be tried for treason. As long as the entire world has American people to come take advantage of, they will never even try to fix their own countries.

???OUR FAMILIES DID IT LEGALLY SO WHY DO THEY THINK THEY HAVE THE RIGHTS TO STEAL FROM US AMERICANS!!!!!! I'M A 60+ YEAR OLD DISABLED WOMAN WHO CAN NEVER WORK AGAIN!!!! I GET $$ 81.00 ((YES 81 DOLLARS)) A MONTH IN FOOD STAMPS WHERE THEY ARE GETTING OVER 5,000 DOLLARS A MONTH!!!!!! WTF!!!!! THEY GET BETTER INSURANCE THAN I HAVE PKUS MOST LOW INCOME PEOPLES HAVE NONE YET THEY DO!!!!! LET'S NOT FORGETTHEY HAVE NO DRIVERS LICENSES NOR INSURANCEFORTHEIR VEHICLES!!!!!! SO IF YOU GET HIT/HURT WELL TOUGH SHITTTTTTTTTFOR YOU!!!!!! && THE HOUSING WHERE WE HAVE MORE HOMELESS PEOPLE IN THE ENTIRE USA AS MANY CANNOT EVEN GET JOBS BECAUSE OF THIS ????\n\nDO IT LEGALLY & WE WELCOME THESE PEOPLE HERE BUT CANNOT AND WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS BULLSHIT ANY MORE!!!!!!! \nTHEY ALSO NEED TO BE FLUENT IN ENGLISH IN 1 YEAR JUST AS PUTIN GIVES PEOPLE 1 YEAR TO LEARN RUSSIAN!!!!!!\nTHANK GOD AS IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!!!

Sorry, guys, but I do agree with Donald Trump. We need to do something about everyone coming into our country. Illegals into our country and I did say. Illegals, we should be supportive and even whenever they come into our country. They should have a job they should pay for their own food. Nobody gave me a handout. I want to know why I have to pay for them a hand out. American people are sick of it are just d*** right sick of I say send them back. Where they belong, we can't afford to get our own homeless off. The sthree we should be working on earth. Not anybody else but us. And I'm talking about no other country. We should be working on getting our homeless office. Detroit built more housing for our homeless people. Are homeless are poor people that need jobs too

I don’t believe your American fascist propaganda for one second. And the comments of Americans here shows just how gullible, intellectually challenged and hateful most Americans are. Stupid isn’t even a strong enough word to describe the intelligence of most Americans.??

My goodness....\nThats alot of F-u-c-king illegally immigrants in America. How the heck did they enter into America in the first place. \nIm an American citizen and i cant even cross the borders of canada and united states in peace lol ?

This is an injustice to Native Americans and Indigenous Nations that they can not even travel on their own land while foreigners go wherever they want to go on it including to Mexico!

The troops are more than soldiers they are emissaries representing American interests on military bases around the world. In the extreme, it would be like sending transgender troops to Uganda or Kenya. Americans would be unwelcome before even setting a boot in their country.

Your average soldier is not going to respect a leader or want to follow a leader who used to be a man and is now a woman and Vice, versa! I agree with Trump and Crenshaw even though I don't Crenshaw. There is no room in the military for this BS. I served 10 years and this BS is nothing more than a huge distraction. You have people who were going in just to get the operations. They spend 4 years in the military changing gender on tax payers dime. Out of the whole 4 years they may be deployable for about 6 months and that ain't all at the same time. When I was in this stuff was not an issue! They were not allowed to join and neither were gays.\n\n Think about it everyone is so bent out of shape over sexual assault well if you take a couple of gay guys and put them in an infantry unit they are going to look at all those men the same way a straight guy would look at all the girls if he was dropped off in an all girls collage. Nothing but problems and issues the military doesn't need!!! Seen it first hand back then when it was not allowed. Incase no one noticed military recruitment is down to dangerous levels! Doesn't anyone wonder why??? This post is why. No one wants to be part of a wishy washy military. It's to easy to get hurt or killed when things are running normal! Throw all the gay and trans BS in there and it just F**ks up everything!\n\nSo for 4 years they are almost always on lite duty, they are getting paid and getting the operations then at the end of their enlistment they walk out of the military the opposite sex they came in with and the American taxpayer is hundreds of thousands of dollars down for every one of these fools!!! This is what the democrats did!!! Join the Army and change your sex on us!!!\nNo place in the military for these fools. I feel that anyone who wants to change their sex is mentally ill!!! I have no desire to change into a woman and if I did I would think something was wrong with me and go get help!!!

Not American. But it is shameful to read how some Americans in here cant even respect someone wanting to serve their country and them. These ppl are ready to give their lives for the so-called 'freedumb' americans are always braggin about. And what they get in return is being reduced to something as primitive as genitals. Shame on anyone who has more an issue with what a fellow human identifes with than the mad tangerine in the white house that is actively destroying the US and democracy. Let's see how far these ppl are willing to serve their fellow citizens like trans soldiers do. Oh right... they dont. Cuz all they care about is themselves. Much respect to her for speaking out and wanting to serve her country. ?

THIS is why NONE of their country's are worth a PILE OF _ _ _ _,, NONE OF THEM think that their countries are even worth staying and FIXING.\n\n This is WHY they could NEVER be TRUE AMERICANS ... they haven't any BACKBONE to even fix their own country.

Attention all illegals trying to get into the US. \nGOOD NEWS = The Trump Government is now offering you free plane rides home to visit your families. All paid for by American tax payers. \nThen you can come back again and again, with more free rides home each time you get caught . \nNow you have even MORE of an incentive to come to America illegally. \nYes, American Trump supporters are that stupid!!!

Get your facts straight, Colombia President accepted their illegal migrants. In a matter of a few hours. Not only that, the Colombian President even offered Trump his own plane to come and pick these illegals up. If you are going to report news get all the facts straight! No wonder you are losing viewers and 90 percent of Americans don’t use this channel as their source of information. You purposely leave out important information to create rhetoric and upset the other 10 percent that unfortunately still watches your fake news.

Not true, in Canada wait times are not longer than in america, but free and with more consideration served. Canadian doctors are so far superior with knowledge!!! Also american death care does not have good quality, I have just written why in another comment. I payed fortune and was misdiagnosed in contradictions. It is the biggest lie to say american death care can be called even bad. It is terrible. Used to brilliant Soviet Russian doctors, I saw the nightmare!

I think Indian govt's stance is best in this case.\n'Give us a list of our people you want to deport, give us proofs why you think they are illegals, and we will arrange for the planes ourselves, no questions asked. You won't even have to bother about transporting them, just bring them to the air port, we will fly them back.'.\n\n\nAnyways Indian govt had been warning Canada about this migration for past 8 years. Literally imploring them to not take these guys in. They aren't running away from persecution, they are running away from prosecution. But sadly Canada became a safe haven for criminals in India to run and hide into. Now don't blame India or Indians for it. We warned you, we had a spat with you. You lectured us how free and democratic you are and how your doors are open to all. NOW SUFFER.\n\nFor the Americans.....i don't feel a thing. They are mostly racists bunch (liberals more than conservatives, but yeah 99 percent of them are pure vile racists). I enjoy watching their country undergoing a very slow implosion right Infront of our very eyes. Trump is a good and capable leader. But what can he really do? His main voter base (which actually did not matter in the elections, it was the minority votes which tilted the scales) is simply uneducated, uninformed, racists. I don't know if they are inherently racist or that racism is born out of ignorance to begin with. But it is what it is. And the othtrr side is loony. ?. You have hate filled racists on one side and crazies on another. That country is destined to be doomed. I hardly find any centrist sane individual who can actually get over the superficial racial or identity stuff and actually talk policies in depth. Both sides are like... For us or against us. What can Trump even do with such population base. They have to import people to keep their quality on top... Else they are done for within next 200 - 250 years.

Colombia has taken so many evil people and poor destitute people from Venezuela as refugees and it can’t absorb them but Colombians normally come legally to the USA and make great Americans my family in law for example are good conservative people who support Trump and I’d like to have my family in the USA all in one place especially is colombia will turn into Venezuela under a corrupt regime who has ruined everything and hurt most of the citizens idk how he won if he did even win but the USA came into Colombia before to stabilize it and it worked for a long time and there are 30,000 U.S. expats here or people with family ties or like me who happened to marry into a Colombian family. Not long ago I saw Trump with former President Duque and their wives and there was a beautiful relationship and colombia was booming in one year the USA must put back the former establishment and restabilize the mess that has been made under this communist guerrilla member and I hope saying this doesn’t bring lash back to me or my family here in Colombia. But my husband and me want to come home to the USA as soon as possible he isn’t a criminal his father is a Pastor at a small countryside church they don’t deserve this.

Trump doesn't like foreigners ,muslims , palestine sympathizers, poor Americans .what he likes is an upper class elite business class preferably if they are jews and American Christians not even Mexican Christians. This is how trumps mind works.He is unpredictable. More idiosyncrasies are in offing.

I'm not even American, if yll don't have legal documentation, leave the country..

Fun fact: Columbia is where we get a major chunk of our coffee from, so now our coffee, our fuel for working Americans will get more expensive if this is a prolonged tariff! We're just hurting ourselves with these outrageous tariffs because all of these countries (even Columbia) can just sell the supply of whatever the US is putting a tariff on to other countries like in Europe or Asia, or could just put retaliatory tariffs on us, leading to a possible trade war over FUCKING COFFEE. Our 2 party political system sucks harder than the jet engines of those planes that got denied.

Best for Columbia's president to do the right thing & accept them back now. If not all Americans will view him as dumping his nation's trash at our doorstep, which weakened our national security & had done imessurable damage, upon which I'm certain President Trump will take swift action against him as an example to the other nation's leadership, and you don't wanna be THAT GUY! They cross Trump at their own peril, but the guy's a wizard at destroying people, places, or things, even your ideas if it pleasures him. Both parties are have rediculously long memories & do hold grudges. Case in point, Cuba. They never will allow Cuba to be anything other that a floating rock prison. Please do the right thing & take YOUR people back. We're at least giving him the bennifit of knowing who they are, and what they are BEFORE they can hurt your nation & act accordingly & it'll all be good. You need a little help, just reach out & let us know. We're here to work with you, not against you.

Welp, American garbage coffee just got even more garbage

Don’t come to this country thinking the grass will be greener. You all will suffer here and treated like crap. The American dream has become the worse nightmare even for citizens of the country. Many homeless and mentally ill people that get no assistance plus crime everywhere. Don’t waste your lives here.

Rising prices for Americans on even more products because a country doesn't want unauthorized military planes coming into their country. Trump is the worst president this country has ever seen beating only himself as the 2nd worst president in his first term. Lower case p in president international because he doesn't deserve the reverence the proper title brings.

About time cut the crap work. Americans need to get on same page you want more great create more value you don't create for others to make lives better than no pay \n\nWe are community. Hard times shoot we have all been there thinking someone thinking besides yourself is responsible is a lie. You enter this earth with curses or bless from your parents and generations so what you going to do sin more and curse your family more or not pass the buck and obey Jesus..\n\n\nJesus said to serve and sluggers aka people who don't serve others don't deserve to eat. What he's trying to tell when he's saying work to serve others like you do him is people have all you ever wanted so learn how to be of value and service. America you can do so will it be easy no but we need to stop corruptness.\n\nI paid for my familys curses so my children don't have and what does the wicked tell me it's not fair when you work three jobs to come up and constant study of improvement of personal value I'm so so so sick of liars trying to to blame people of there conditions instead of turning to the king who will work all for good stop having faith in the wicked man god sent the sinless to lead you to right truthful stop believing convient lies from atheist.\n\nHeck even Rome couldn't stop Jesus words so instead try to control it with claiming there Christian don't make there sol victorious worship and Mary worship or sun/moon worship Rome was made from as truth. Please get the Bible and check for yourself study both sides prove Jesus isn't real.\n\nOnce you learn Jesus is here to lead u out of your self-destructiveness and knowing your sin curses your children this stuff will stop. \n\nYou can claim whatever but I can't disagree if Jesus didn't come our life would be 100x worse everywhere as America was built strongly after his words \n.

Colombia's President said >>>> Trump, I don't really like travelling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some commendable things. I like going to the black neighbourhoods of Washington, where I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like nonsense to me, because they should join together. \n \nI confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller \n \nI confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, are memorable in the history of the USA and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair, the fascists who are within the USA as well as within my country \n \nI don't like your oil, Trump, you're going to wipe out the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey, which I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I'm not, nor is any Colombian. \n \nSo if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance, like they did with Allende. But I will die in my law, I resisted torture and I resist you. I don't want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you can't accompany me, I'll go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world and you didn't understand that, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of which I am one, perhaps the last. \n \nYou will kill me, but I will survive in my people, which is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom. \n \nYou don't like our freedom, okay. I don't shake hands with white slavers. I shake hands with the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and the black and white farm boys of the USA, at whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield, which I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from Covid. \n \nThey are the United States and before them I kneel, before no one else. \n \nOverthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond. \n \nColombia now stops looking north, looks at the world, our blood comes from the blood of the Caliphate of Cordoba, the civilization of that time, of the Roman Latins of the Mediterranean, the civilization of that time, who founded the republic, democracy in Athens; our blood has the black resistance fighters turned into slaves by you. In Colombia is the first free territory of America, before Washington, of all America, there I take refuge in its African songs. \n \nMy land is made up of goldsmiths who worked in the time of the Egyptian pharaohs and of the first artists in the world in Chiribiquete. \n \nYou will never rule us. The warrior who rode our lands, shouting freedom, who is called Bolívar, opposes us. \n \nOur people are somewhat fearful, somewhat timid, they are naive and kind, loving, but they will know how to win the Panama Canal, which you took from us with violence. Two hundred heroes from all of Latin America lie in Bocas del Toro, today's Panama, formerly Colombia, which you murdered. \n \nI raise a flag and as Gaitán said, even if it remains alone, it will continue to be raised with the Latin American dignity that is the dignity of America, which your great-grandfather did not know, and mine did, Mr. President, an immigrant in the USA, \n \nYour blockade does not scare me, because Colombia, besides being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know that you love beauty as I do, do not disrespect it and you will give it your sweetness. \n \nFROM TODAY ON, COLOMBIA IS OPEN TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, WITH OPEN ARMS, WE ARE BUILDERS OF FREEDOM, LIFE AND HUMANITY. \n \nI am informed that you impose a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States, and I do the same. \n \nLet our people plant corn that was discovered in Colombia and feed the world \n \n1:15 PM · Jan 26, 2025 ·11.1M Views
