The American people will always be my friends and brothers. Unfortunately, Trump doesn’t get it!

He can talk sense, unlike Trump, he doesn’t rant,unlike Trump, he has class,unlike Trump,

Why doesn't CNN talk about Prime Minister Trudeau's belief of why Trump is doing this?

You (Canada) cannot bully our President Trump. You will not win. The United States doesn't need you.

This man doesn't have the brains God gave a goose. Pres. Trump tried to work with this a-hole. I feel sorry for the Canadian people but they can thank their so called leader.

IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE UNTIL YOU REALIZE TRUMP IS A TRAITOR WORKING FOR PUTIN!

I think Trump just doesn’t like Justin Trudeau and wants to get rid of him

It all makes sense when you realise Trump doesn't see Canada or Europe as friends any more. He's completely lined up with Putin, someone I believe he desires to emulate. He is perhaps considering Canada as his Ukraine.

I agree with him ?% BUT the biggest problem is that Trump doesn't care about non-rich Americans.

Trump doesn't care about anything he needs to go immediately

As a Japanese objectively viewing, in everything, economy and security Canada relies on the US nevertheless Canada doesn't respect it, I understand why Trump is angry

Sorry to our closest ally. Trump, the dumbest president in American history, doesn't represent majority of americans. He is a bully and a coward. I'm sure a lot of his supporters have regretted they voted for him. They are feeling the pain and perhaps lost their jobs, too. This moron is 100 percent lunatic.

Everyone keeps saying this doesn't make any sense the only way this could possibly make sense is that Donald Trump has sold us out to Russia.\nDonald Trump is a Russian asset.

trump is NOT smart he says he knows big words... just because beautiful has 9 letters doesn't mean it's a big word. trum.p has ruined America

Trump doesn't want to drain the swamp, just your willpower, and the treasury

Donald trump probably won't even listen to this speech, he doesn't give a fuck

The Executive Branch of the United States is occupied by the biggest f*ing elites on the entire planet, Putin's pet kleptocrat Trump, his foreign oligarch boyfriend Elon and a clown show of a cabinet. The most incompetent US administration of all time. Thanks Mitch McConnell and Merrick Garland. Lindsay Graham. Josh Hawley. Chuck Grassley. Canadian born Ted Cruz, who doesn't even defend his wife, much less the country. Leadership like that does not belong in NATO, it's what NATO was meant to protect us, Canada and the United States, from.

Trump doesn’t give a damn about the United States. And if you look back at what Steve Bannon said this is exactly what Heritage 25 wants they want chaos in the world so they can do what they need to do.

I hope Canada is not in a hurry to get back to the negotiating table till Ukraine gets the help they need from the US. Zelenskyi is a hero and Trump doesn't like heroes

Trump doesn't want war or killing. You are continuing all of that for a little land.

Trump doesn't care what Trudeau thinks, just like Canadians don't care anymore either.

Trump just loves to play dirty…he’s a thug and a felon..a vile subhuman who has a black heart ? and the need for greed that surpasses any other person ever..he doesn’t care for the people only his billionaire friends, money and power….this is all for Putins benefit. There is a Canadian election in 2025 but not any day now…get your facts straight!

Trump wants alliances with Russia,China ,ye know,the tough strong men...he doesn't care about Canada ... trump and half of America want a dictatorship, Canada and Europe just cut all ties with that coward,we will survive without them.

Canada doesn't even have an ounce of gold. Keep talking. Let's face it. Canada is a non-country. The fact that Trump asked them to be the 51st state shows that. He wouldn't do that do Japan.

Trump is shameful his dosen't even care about the American people here. It seems like his doing this for Putin l don't know if it true. His acts like Immature bully, but that doesn't make him a strong leader weak instead.

The only thing trump cares about is MONEY and he doesn't care how he gets it or where it comes from .

Trump and Trudeau can both be turds. One doesn’t have to be good and the other bad. They’re both wack.

Trump doesn’t care at all about fentanyl

As a Canadian I have to say that Trudeau is the worst Prime Minister in Canadian history! He destroyed our country and economy. He doesn't respect Trump and Canadian people. That's why we are in this mess!

I'm a Canadian and Justin Trudeau stepped down as our leader but that buffoon instill going around acting like he speaks for Canadians when HE DOESN'T. His party has suspended our parliament because the where going to be forced into an election so they are up to their old scams and trying to put a globalist corrupt pos to replace him. We wish we had a real leader like Trump and if the liberals find a way to steal this election that is coming sign me up to become the 51st state

in tennis, you will hit a ball to a far corner to get the player as far as possible, to then hit a ball to the other corner and score. trump throws his lies and fake concerns left and right and everyone is running for them, the media, other countries, maga people use this misinformation as an excuse... here you see Mr President say - we already had an excellent border control but we went ahead and spent 1.3 billion dollars more. why? trump never cared for that. just like Trump doesn't care what Mr Zelenskyy would say in the Oval Office, he has his plans and agenda. he wants to isolate USA, be friends with ruzzia and be a dictator. so maybe fucking treat him as such now, before its too late?

Sir Kier starmer the British prime minster spoke up for Canada in his press conference with president trump and the president shut him down..enough he said! Trump is trying to run the world like a business. It doesn't work like that. He's trying to move too fast and needs to slow down. So he's getting frustrated.

How can you do this to your closest Ally? It doesn't make sense. Donald Trump is really disgracing this nation.

Glad I didn't vote for the traitor. All people that voted for Trump knew he was despicable, he's been bankrupted multiple times therefore doesn't mind bankrupting America & he's the biggest liar ever.....this has been his whole life.....smh

Just imagine a similar (Trump, Vance and Zelensky) dialogue - but in 1940. \n \nThe Reich is furiously bombing Britain! Churchill flies to Washington for help. and Roosevelt tells him, ‘Sir, your card is dealt. ‘Make a deal with the Führer before it's too late. ‘He's a peace-loving man. I've known him a long time.’ \nTo which Churchill replies: ‘But, Mr President, he's bombing us! My predecessors in 1938 tried to negotiate with him, but you see what happened? He doesn't honour any treaties on principle.’ \nVice President Garne enters the conversation: ‘Churchill, your country is a mess! We and Hitler want peace, and you want war! It's you who are incapable! You disrespect our Oval Office with your demands for support.’ \nRoosevelt adds: ‘Yes, Churchill, you're playing with World War II! Make peace with Hitler immediately, and give us all the resources of your island. By the way, where's your suit?’ \nTo which Churchill replies: ‘I'll wear it after the war.’

And Trump will tell you he doesn’t care

Trump doesn’t care about anyone and anything, not even us Americans. \nHe only care about his pockets and Putin, another idiot

Why do people still watch CNN after being lied to over and over? Didn't they tell you Hilary was winning in 2016 and then lied to you guys again about Harris leading in the polls in 2024 lol. Not sure if you guys knew but we all know there's immediate pain with these tariffs but in the long run, we should come out on top. I get you guys are emotional and don't like Trump but the reality is that USA doesn't need Mexico or Canada but they need the USA. Mexico and Canada's exports are 70-80% to the USA while we only export 13-14% to them. This means most of their economy relies on the USA and only a small of ours rely on theirs.

The only one thing Trump is around for is to make everybody else his minions, that is what he works for to get his kicks from - all the Trump willie show is about that and that is his only card. He doesn't do politics or economics or any of that. He does his 'You Have To Be Minions' willie show, and he does fall out of his pants when people can't be tricked. - That is the one red line he can be identified for. Sure, there is danger as long as the citizens in the U.S. haven't got rid of this cancer cell. It is the modern Adolf Hitler. So make sure to get past him in the shortest time possible - with the smallest damage caused - by any chance. Observation and criticism towards this fascistoid psychopath is surely unavoidable, but it is also what he wants us to do: to spend all our time and attention on him. So let's focus most of our time and effort on building and strengthening what we know that needs to be there instead of this fascist. Improving Unity amongst us. And never bowing to any of the global bullies and fascists. People who can't build on their own turf, communicate their points in a civilised manner, but need to get physically violent instead, militarily, economically, institutionally, at the cost of other people's lives - are not on our agenda. // We will not bow to bully threats - not in our small worlds, and not globally either.

I was going to throw it out there if anyone knew if Trump has a second language but then i remembered he doesn't even have a first one.

Why did I support Trump? Damn what a mistake, he's obviously a Putin puppet, he doesn't care about the working class, he only cares about the rich. He seems to be trying to destroy America purposely.\nI am a two war veteran and I stand with Canada and Ukraine.

I think Trudeau missed the memo on what reciprocal tariffs mean! By the way we don't need Canadas energy when they Say they're going to so-called turn off the energy to America that means literally nothing five minutes of research will tell you that the United States does not need Canadas energy! Absolute empty threat!\n\nBy the way to anybody in the comments section that doesn't know what they're talking about and just listens to cnn so far these tariffs have secured 1.7 trillion US dollars in just three months brought manufacturing back to the United States honda is now leaving their location in Canada and building in the United States same with American car manufacturers in Mexico. \n\nWe won and I find this so funny you guys are flipping out we have socalled Americans joining Canada's side just because they're anti Trump. absolute clowns!

He screwed up.the moment he said Donald. It doesn't play to Trump's ego. Other than that it was a great speech

trump really doesn’t understand economics at any level.\n\nThe first trump administration was a circus… this one is an insane asylum.

Trump doesn't care

of course... trump is a leveraged real estate investor his roi goes up faster than the dollar drops. he doesn't give a crap about anyone else. you had better have positioned yourself for this ride or you have lost.

Trump paid out billions his last term due to his tariffs. Farmers and Ranchers will go belly up real quick if he doesn't bail them out once again. Trump cares about putin and musk, and his billionaire friends.

Trump has been under Putin's control even before his first term, doing exactly what Putin wants from him at the moment. That's the only reason. Maybe he fell into a honeytrap or there’s other compromising material the Russians have on him that they could use to blackmail him. He’s a narcissist, which fits perfectly with this. Anything else doesn’t make sense....or why is he only attacking allies and licking Putins butt?

Absolute self-own by Trump. He doesn't care about Canada. Look at what he is doing to his own federal workforce.

Unfortunately it doesn’t matter. 30-35% of America will believe Donald Trump over everybody, and anybody else
