Close Reading

CNN correspondence never gives the more impactful concerns - in this case, the concern should be the fact that DT is attacking Canada, our friends, and Mexico, our friends - because he's a fkn traitor - and the US Constitution that says it's our American duty to stop people like him. The government and the common people must be overlooking these crimes and willing to give up their rights and freedoms. The original KGB and the long running Putin agenda is the slow game in his global conquest for power. You have to consider the geopolitics. If Mexico and Canada won't defend us (because they hate Trump) DT can/will sell out America to Russia, in turn Canada would be the closest place to conquer, then Mexico. It's stupid tho, unless the UN stands back and watches this happen too. Think I'm bullshittin, reading too far into things, but I'm not. Nobody is at the wheel but Trump, and he doesn't even know how to drive. You, the people and corporate new media will never read far enough to get the entire picture. Krasnov stole the Country to handicap us in the Cold War, except the War is white hot. He's in line with Hitlers handbook. And don't forget, that Nazis were white people who had no problem offing white people. Just sayin. Nobody is safe in Trump country. It's all Biffed up now.

It’s the “make that make sense” for me. We’re all trying to figure it out ?. Trump already told everyone that these are “concepts of concepts”…what do people expect? He said what he said, and he was elected by a large margin ?. It is what it is. What are the solutions? I’m curious to hear the legal solutions so that we can all understand what is happening with these egg prices ?

I’m American but I stand with everything he said!! trump and the republicans are siding with dictators and continue to lie to them about everything….I never thought as an American… the supposed leaders of the democracy free world….would really allow a felon to destroy our country and make us TRAITORS siding with DICTATORS ?

Putin is making this happen, know that! Putin is playing chess with Donald Trump who plays checkers! And this is exactly what he wants, America to be isolated with no friends and no backup! Belive me! I'm a chess player, and see the strategy! It's plain sight. You maga are being used, because he knows you're the gullible ones! Donald Trump said in an old interview that Republicans are the easiest to control. They control you through fear! \nWake up!!! Before America is destroyed

I can't wait for Trump's state visit to the UK, I'm licking my at the reception he's going to get.....eggs at the ready!

Trudeau has always been good in a crisis and for that I’m sorry to see him go. I give a thumbs up for all of parliament for putting differences aside in these last few weeks to fight against trump. I hope we bolster our trade with other countries and never go back to the USA.

As an American, I'm disgusted with the American government. Trump is not a president he is a wannabe dictator who needs to be removed immediately.

So sorry, World, for this American president’s stupidity ! As soon as I can I’m coming to Canada and spend the day apologizing for his stupidity ! Thank you for staying strong against an ignorant bully named trump ! He doesn’t even know what a tariff is and the GOP is afraid to tell him Americans Pay for it ! ????‍♀️ I hate trump ! ?

It’s not about fentanyl at all. Donald Trump is just using that as an excuse. He is lying to the American people like he always does. Don’t back down Canada ?? do your worst!! Trump voters need to feel the pain to realize what they have voted for. I’m embarrassed and disgusted with America right now and who we are becoming. Be proud of your nation and your leadership Canada!! America isn’t and can’t be as long as DT is in office.

I'm so embarrassed by what Trump is doing to this country! I stand with Canada ??

Quant a la reponse des citoyens americians: ceux-ci sont deja lobotomises. Ils re reagiront pas. Si pour M Trump, celui qui l'empeche d'engranger de l'argent et d'etendre son pouvoir personnel, c'est la Chine; qu'il le fasse sans utiliser la force. Ce sera plus rapide.

How does Canada not love this guy? I’m with you Canada ??, Trump is ruing this country day by day

I'm a Canadian, we have a massive piece of land and small population.\nWe should be friends with everyone. Never pick sides.\nTo look into history, U.S never be friends with anyone. They are only friends with money!\nI don't go against the Americans, but we also have to take care of our own economy.\n\nTrump just find an excuse to blame Canada so he can tariff the Canadian. We never do things to harm our neighbours. \nI spent thousands of dollars every year in Vegas and have multiple times shares there, but they chose to put a rope on us!\n\nI don't go against Russia and China either because we all have one common goal, that is a better life for all and there's nothing wrong with it!\n\nDon't worry too much about Trump, he is old and likes to show the world that he is powerful before he is gone! \nCanadian will ride through good and bad times. We all have to work together because we are hard working Canadians!

Trump is not fit for the office of President. Its not only that he's a buffoon, its that he's willing to destroy his own country. He's repeatedly proven that he does not care about his own people and is happy to see them suffer if it will increase his wealth.\nThe USA went through decades of the Red-Scare only to have Trump cosy up to the worst Russian Communist Leader since Stalin. I'm glad the rest of the world is reassessing their relationships with the USA and people are voluntarily boycotting the USA.

Dear Canada...I am so embarrassed (and worried) to be an American. Trump and his cronies don't speak for me or my family. I'm really afraid of where our country is heading.

I’m an American and I applaud you. Trump is evil.

Donald Trump did this....I'm sure this behavior was pushed on Donald by Putin. Huge\nmistake Mr. Trump (can't call you president any longer).

Canada ...I'm so sorry. Please know that Trump does not represent the US citizens. It was a crazy moment that got out of control, and now the country is his hostage. Please help us.

Trudeau lost me when he called Donald 'a very smart guy'. I'm onboard with retaliating against Trump's tariffs even if it increases prices of goods I want to buy.

I'm American and I hope the world knows that most Americans do not agree with Trump and his co-workers,\nI am not a Trump supporter I never have and never will, He won because many of his supporters voted for\nthere hate twords anyone that didn't look like them and now they are also screwed. Trump needs to be\nimpeeched and removed from office before the US is ran into the ground.

I'm calling it... Trump is going to order the US military to seize Canadian resources, within 1 maybe 2 years. War of 1812 is back on.

I’m American and I want to know the real reason why Trump is doing this. I believe we will never know. He’s such an embarrassment to our country.

There's many reasons not to like Trudeau up here in Canada, many of which are the reason he'll (rightfully) no longer be the PM next week. As a conservative I hated him for SNC-Lavalin (among other scandals), and the fact that his inexperience with the economy Harper left him is probably part of why this trade war is going to hurt more than it could have, and the fact that he's often been kind of a phony more concerned with looking and sounding good for the press cameras. Not this time. Nothing phony here; I've got to give credit to him for capturing the national mood pretty much perfectly with this speech. Good on him. \n\nAnd congratulations as well to Donald for pretty much handing the Liberals their best shot at a fourth term, too. What an absolute idiot. Normally I'd turn my nose up at having to vote Liberal, but I am so, so sick of the brand of empty populism Trump stands for that it looks like that's what I'm gonna be doing come election time.

Well done Prime Minister Trudeau. I'm proud of you. I just want to say that this is not new. Justin Trudeau has always stood up to Trump. It's heartwarming to see so many other countries following suit.

Oh America why did you vote for Donald Trump. Now I'm afraid Canada will close the boarder to Americans just like the other countries that does not want American tourists. America will be the most hated country very soon. Hate to be an American right now?

I'm an American and I stand with Canada against this racist gangster called Donald J. Trump.\nTrump will eventually lose this trade war.

Aside from this being how a world leader should speak & act, everything Prime Minister Trudeau spoke about is true. I'm American so idk the ins & outs of why he resigned but from here he's doing Canada ?? proud. Its gut wrenching that us Americans are stuck with the ? oompa loompa we have sitting in the Oval office. Trump has not only stomped all over our constitution, he's broken several laws along the way.

I'm tired of Trump- I'd rather not trade or buy anything from the US. Hope it looks better in 4 years.\nGreetings Denmark

I’m Canadian and I’m terrified for us as well as all the innocent people that will be affected by this. I find it curious though that past presidents haven’t made any remarks, at least that I’ve seen, about all the things Trump has done in the last six weeks. Where are the condemnations about tariffs, the way Zelensky was treated and the fact that Trump is the one letting human traffickers (allegedly) across the border? As in Andrew Tate and his brother. Trump is the one allowing criminals in. Trump is the one about to sell gold cards to anyone for $5,000,000. That will include known terrorists.

Belgium stands with Canada and Mexico! Fk Trump! We also stand with every NON Maga american! May the rest of m' go down!

I'm ashamed to be a american under trump presidency

The problem is Trump's doing totally the most unnecessary actions against our country and it's people! What did the American people do to deserve this unnecessary action of tariffs! They're on logic in it at all! I don't see any good reason, just tell the people why! I'm sure Trump doesn't have one if he says he does he's lying!

Thank tou PM Trudeau. I'm against this. Trump and his minnions are the ones who want this.? l believe you.hes not my president. My flag is upside down.Canada .be well❤

I’m an American and previous democrat and I stand with TRUMP.

I’m American, I support Trump ?

Let’s go Trudeau ?? this Pariah Govt must Go. Well said without casting Blame and Whining using propaganda and having weasels like musk and all his appointees to do these sick acts this is the darkest chapter in American history. I’m happy to see Canada and Mexico are the lights at the end of the tunnel. Trump and Co. Are weak individuals, there way is not the American way they can go to Russia with that nonsense.

I am American and absolutely loathe what trump is doing, and I'm not alone. Canada is doing the right thing here. Canada - please know that most Americans are on your side.

I’m a US citizen who is appalled that Trump is our president.\n\nTrump is doing great harm to the US.\n\nTrump’s street-thug bullying tactics are egregiously inappropriate for the office of the President of the United States. \n\nTrump’s endorsement of a murderous Russian dictator does not reflect American values, and does not represent our interests. \n\nTurning against our allies does NOT benefit the US. \n\nTo Canada citizens: I hope you can see from the comments that most US citizens wish to be good neighbors!

I’m a U.S. citizen and I support the Canadian government and its people. And Trump is not a smart guy he’s a idiot

As a u.s citzen I'm appalled and ashamed of my president. The elites got what they want but doesn't mean it will last they talk about exposing corruption but yet are doing some pretty corrupt things why do we only get 2 choices for a president and lesser of two evils why don't we pick someone with morals and that have the best interest for our country and people not just the rich cause I've been struggling before during and after trump maybe we need new congress and stop this dumbass blame game of pointing fingers when dems and rep come together we can be unstoppable why are people so stupid and selfish like we have it easier than most country's last I knew we don't eat cats or dogs so that tells me are economy not as bad as other places just seems like the rich are losing and this will help them stay rich. I don't like Biden or trump but my god does no one notice the segregation that's pushing us apart? we were all for Ukraine before and now plp wanna act differently without facts or knowledge kids family's they are dying cause putin is a prime example of a dictator.... praying and hoping we come together to fix this and show our next generation on what not to do.

I’m so embarrassed of my country, the USA, right now. We want you to know many of us do not support Trump!

I’m American and I’m with Canada and Mexico Europe also. Trump is the dangerous felon.

Respect! I think Trudeau speaks plainly about the madness of the latest tariffs. I'm pleased that he speech was measured and polite. And how he spoke directly to people in the USA, dismissing the totally unjustifiable reasons Trump has made for implementing the tariffs.

Trump is destabilizing democracies worldwide per Putin’s instructions (which he is obligated to do based on what he “owes” Russia). Real Americans don’t support his actions and his communist alliances I’m at a loss on how we get this stopped.

I’m still lost at how Trump supporters rationalize this mess… like for the self proclaimed “patriots” they really know how to spit on the constitution, the sacrifices of our ancestors during the revolution all the way through the Cold War. Trump is literally alienating us in 4k from allies and slipping into Russia’s pocket. Because he wants to be a dictator, and doesn’t give a damn about America or what it stands for. His family hasn’t even been here very long in all honesty, maybe that’s why he’ll sell us out to Russia. Saying otherwise means you live in a land of delusion where facts don’t exist. FYI, ignorance won’t save anyone

I'm an American - Thank You Prime Minister For Your Kind And Compassionate Words.\nEverybody? TIE A KNOT AND HOLD ON... TRUMP IS TO AMERICA WHAT HAMAS IS TO GAZA!\nJust Like The Palestinians Voted In Hamas For GAZA, 52% of the American People Voted Trump In.\nNOW WE ARE ALL Going To Pay For It! - WERE ALL FUCKED!

Well trump just created a lot of new criminals. Because I'm gonna have to break bad just to feed my family. So if you got anything of value lock it up because my rent is coming due.

Respect to Canada, we all stand with you. Brave coming out on the front foot like you have. I do have to add, it is not the American government alone, it’s the American people who voted Trump in. How the mighty have fallen. Making enemies with all the democracy countries around the world. I’m Danish born, living in Australia. Civil war is very likely as many republicans now see that America is isolating themselves to create a dictatorship. Us vs the world mentality. Politics has never been more entertaining. China is set to be the new world leader, I can’t see it any other way. The timeline has moved forward beyond belief.

I'm from the UK. Excellent speech from Trudeau. \nI support Canada, the good people of the USA, our neighbor's in Europe and Ukraine. I stand with you all against the tyranny of Trump and his war criminal master Putin. \nGood people across the globe with share common values will not be divided by a handful of mindless lying dictatorial thugs.

As an American, I didn't vote for Trump, and I certainly don't want this. So sorry Canada ?? ?...and I'm sorry that too many of the American people fell for Trump's lies ?.
