Dude really thinks we need Canada for anything

Stand up Canada! It's about time! We been selling our future and sovereignty to the US since WW2 thinking they are our friend forever. WRONG! Respect only comes from threat and that is why Trump is respecting Russia and China more than us. Stop buying their shit and let's find some new business partner, be it europe or china, let's be competitive again and let them see how it feels like with a non secure backyard

Trump has the king of Siam syndrome. If you recall that old movie where the king thinks his country is bigger than what it really is.

I don't think I've ever seen anything in my entire life that says made in Canada???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I think President Trump should make America great again on it's enemies not allies. Get some around the country and to help make it greater again tho

Trump said he would cap credit card interest rates to 10%. Funny how he hasn’t done that only grifting by launching crypto scams, removed joe Biden’s executive order that protected consumers from absurd overdraft fees. Even if Trump burns the country down the conservatives will blame Obama, Hillary and Joe Biden and not their side. It’s like a narcissistic party that thinks they are always right and never wrong.

I know this economic war on Canada will be difficult enough already but I urge my friends north of the border to do their best to fund a massive military expansion as rapidly as possible. Trump is clearly setting the stage and manufacturing excuses so he can invade and force Canada into becoming his 51st state and he's not going to stop with just trying to cripple your economy. Don't make Europe's mistake of thinking Americans are honorable friends and allies who can be trusted to keep their word. We're nothing but a bunch of ignorant, nasty, greedy, white supremacists who hate every other people on Earth. As a US Army veteran, I am ashamed of my country's unprovoked brutality once again.

To the military people commenting. Why are your brethren so clueless for a bone spur guy who thinks you're chumps...

OH JUSTIN YOU ARE SO RIGHT THIS IS VERY PERSONAL YOU MADE FUN OF HIM AND HE IS TAKING REVENGE, BUT PRESIDENT CHUMP OBVIOUSLY CANNOT SEPERATE BUSINESS FROM HIS PERSONAL PROBLEMS, THE WHOLE WORLD DOES NOT LIKE THIS GUY WHEN HIS TERM IN OFFICE IS OVER THE ONLY TWO PLACES THAT HE WOULD BE WELCOME IN IS HIS HOME COUNTRY AND RUSSIA AND I AM NOT SO SURE ABOUT RUSSIA I WROTE ON YOUTUBE BEFORE THAT THIS GUY IS SINKING THE AMERICAN FLEET FAST AND MORE THOROUGHLY THAN THE JAPANESE DID AT PEARL HAROR MAN AT THIS MOMENT THE TWO WORST NATIONALITIES TO BE IS AMERICAN AND RUSSIAN THEY BOTH ARE CAUSING GREAT HARM NOT ONLY TO THE WORLD, BUT MOSTLY TO THEIR OWN PEOPLE AND COUNTRIES TALK ABOUT SELFISH LEADER'S. PRESIDENT CHUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT ONE THING WITH THE LEADER'S WE HAVE NOW IT IS NOT IF WE WILL ENGAGE EACH OTHER IN A WORLD WAR, BUT WHEN THE LEADER'S WE HAVE NOW ARE STEERING THE HUMAN RACE IN THAT DIRECTION AND PRESIDENT CHUMP YOU AND PRESIDENT POUTINE WILL BE CHIEFLY RESPONSIBLE. THE LEADER'S WE HAVE ELECTED TODAY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST OF THE MISERY IN THE WORLD TODAY. LEADER'S LIKE PRESIDENT KENNEDY, GHANDI, CHURCHILL ETC. TODAY WE HAVE LEADER'S LIKE TRUDEAU WHO CREATED MISERY AND DIVISION IN CANADA THE FORE MENTIONED LEADER'S ALREADY METIONED ARE DIRECTED BY PERSONAL GREED AND AMBITION AND HYPOCRACY. PRESIDENT ZELINSKY I AM AFFRAID LEADER'S LIKE YOU THAT HAVE COURAGE INTEGRITY AND STRENGHT ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN I AM SORRY TO TELL YOU BUT I THINK IN REALTY YOU STAND ALONE NOT MANY LEADER'S TODAY PUT COUNTRY AND COUNTRYMEN AND WOMEN BEFORE THEIR PERSONAL GREED AND AMBITION, BUT IF YOU SUCCEED YOU WILL BE STRONGER AND FAR BETTER OFF GOD BLESS

Support for Canadians and Americans opposing Trump. ❤ As Polish, I think it'd be awesome for Canada to join EU or for EU and Canada to create some other sort of alliance.

I think donnie is as smart as a box of shit coated rocks.. bless him .. the old orange tool !!

Cue the looney liberal tears flowing. This is just a small move in a bigger chess game. You honestly think this is Trumps end game??

I honestly don’t think there’s a smart bone in trumps body. He’s a moron. Trumps a moron

Sigh ? … American here, I didn’t vote for him. Canada stay strong, I support you standing up for yourself and support you standing up to a bully. Honestly I’m just baffled by everything that keeps happening. It’s only been a month and I wonder what the next 4 years will look like. I don’t know what to do. I voted, that was my bit of voice, but the majority apparently wanted this. They made excuses for him, over and over again, and now we all have to suffer the consequences. He always told us who he was, so I don’t want to hear excuses if you voted for him! I’m pissed off, as well as sad.\nUkraine, my prays go out to you. The way your president was treated in the White House was abominable. Please know not all Americans are delusional enough to think what The Trump Dump did was ok in any way. Now we all just have to survive this shit storm as best we can, and stand up where, and when we are able.

Money!!Money!!Money!! Trump is a crazy pretender who thinks he can bully every country

Middle class people will claps, we hope our government will consider the upcoming recession which could hurt Anerican people, I personally crossing my fingers and convince myself think will go better since I as small business owner have not the knowledge which our politicians have, God bless America ?☝️ But one thing I know life goes on ?♥️? no matter what American staying together ??

Germany here: Donald,,, how would your Citizen like 100% tariffs on German - European Cars ? Porsche Mercedes Audi BMW Ferrari Lamborghini RR Bentley and so on and so on .... I guess they will love it :D we could give this tariff money to UA and they will recover. DJ Trump thinks he is Batman, but he is just a dumb version of the Joker. America will go back to wild wild west and citizen which im very sorry for will not like this i guess. \nJT is right, this actually is a very dumb thing to do :D hahaha

America, your constitution an oath of office talk of protecting the country from tyranny both foreign and domestic, welll, Trump is that tyranny. This should never have to happen again but I think it's high time you threw your tea in the harbour and kick that self named king out of power.

trump was born dumb and his father helped him by skipping the draft 5 times. Thank God he didn't do the movie Rambo , just because he did a tv show , thinks he can run a country.

Does anyone think like I do? Trump wants to show his boss Putin that he can increase his empire by causing hardship to Canadians such that they will beg to join as a 51st state. Fentanoly is just an excuse to claim victimization.

Not only is Canada united in solidarity against Trump and his trade war, I think that we are seeing right here that Americans, Europeans, and people from every continent, also have a sense of unity and solidarity with us and Mexico and against the bully and dictator who currently is squatting in the White House. \nOrganise. \nMobilise. \nResist.

Also Justin Trudeau didn’t think Donald Trump was smart he said he agreed with the whichever newspaper it was Washington Post I think that even though Donald Trump is a smart guy this was a dumb thing. I don’t think he really agreed with the part about Donald Trump being a smart guy. But he definitely agrees with this being a dumb thing. He just had to say thatto stroke Cheetos ego

From Italy: if people like Trump, Putin, Erdogan, Orban and Meloni have so much space and have reached the position that occupy the problem is not them but who voted for them. If people think that these characters with their wicked decisions bring prosperity and peace, the biggest work must be done on the people who choose them, not on those who have been chosen. Canadians, hold on tight, stay with your back straight, continue to be what you always were, do not bend as many rich Americans have done and prone to the delirium of omnipotence of Trump. We Italians know well what it means to have such people in the seats of power and also how important it is that not everyone bends.

Drump is dumb and will destroy the world cuz he knows nothing thinks bullying is strength lol ???

That's how a parent tries to explain a thing to a stubborn 4-year old who thinks he's super smart.

I think it is because djt wants to make Canada a state.

Who cares what this grifter thinks? He’s a short-timer who has fucked his country over and now he’s looking to make a splash before the door hits him in the ass on the way out.

Why are we doing this to our next door neighbors? How does anyone benefit from this? This is a very distressing turn of events and whoever is advising DT needs to be fired. I also wonder if all this theater and bluster coming from the WH is to distract us from other things? What is it that they don't want us to think about?

Mr trudeau, I believe you are clearly more intelligent than that idiot who runs the country next to you. I think you should annexe the 50 states of the the US. ?

The current American Administration thinks that everyone will just bend the knee and be “D Riders.” If they say jump, they will ask how high. Nah…not everyone will do that.\nCanada is standing on business‼️

This man ran his country into the ground, muddy ground. Why does he think he’s in a position to talk like this?

I wish us Americans could actually think intelligently, but we are stupid for electing trump and think that that clown has all he answers when all he does is destroy everything he touches. He does not care about anyone and should be removed from office. To the world, I am sorry our country cannot treat our friends correctly with respect and dignity . We elect stupid people. We have no excuse and do not deserve friends we have to the world.

Just to be clear.....nobody, absolutely nobody, besides the uneducated maga's, thinks that Trump is smart in any way. Justin is just being extremely polite.

I think it was Margaret Thatcher during the Reagan administration the one who said, Americans are notorious about choosing stupid presidents. So, what to say about that? What I've heard from some of my friends is that they don't care if democracy is gone as long as their taxes go down. They want a lower income tax bracket. They're very single minded about issues. We'll see how we fair once you have to pay more at the pump, when the price of electronics go up, when produce and beef, pork, and chicken become unaffordable. Yes, the middle and upper middle class probably don't care, but the lower classes and the already poor are not going to be happy. Once people are hungry, then you'll see people on the street. Once the farmers start losing their farms and small businesses start losing their investments, you'll see people on the streets. Americans are not hungry enough yet. Just wait.

All the uneducated Red Hats in the US are causing all the problems. They think someone else pays the tariff because they are most gullible

? they didn’t think it was going to happen, the dictator Trudeau is screwed. He will be forced out by his people swiftly. And this will be over soon

Please clarify why JT decided to send more aid to the Ukraine just a week before Trump was to negotiate a peace deal with Zelenskyy ? I think Canadians need to wake up \nAnd see who really are the bad guys .Too bad we don’t have a strong leader like the US .Little too late to be playing tough guy after he killed our country dont you think ??

man, just living to survive is hard enough for many people even for min wage earners and now this. The point? I think its ego from trump. Dont get me wrong I actually support some of trump policies but this is spiraling out of control. Ukraine, Allies turned enemies wtf.

When are we gonna finally realize that Trump is a Russian asset. He’s been recruited by the kgb a long time ago, that’s why he can’t say anything about his Russian boss. Probably through his first wife. Deep ties… \nProbably been bailed out by Russia many times in the past so he owes them a debt of gratitude. How else would you recover from 6 bankruptcies. Think people??? Doesn’t this explanation make sense. We just want to deny what’s so obvious.

There is a chin scratcher do I care less about what Trudeau thinks or do I care less about CNNs ability to translateEnglish into English. A real network would peel back the details of JTs smoke and mirrors.

And nobody's dumb enough to think that this is a short-term fix gas prices are up 70 cents a gallon mostly everywhere let's see who pays for that oh yeah that's right US citizens supposed to fix food prices not up 30% by the way this is all on Trump's watch right oh yeah that's right like I said both sides are liars that's why I'm independent proud of it we put people in office are we take him out of office in the next vote he doesn't care cuz this is his last Rodeo but don't think an impeachment wouldn't be on his record again

MAGAS DO YOU STILL THINK DUMB IS A ECONOMIC GENIUS?

I listened to Kamala and her team speak equally articulate as Tradeaux, but Americans made their choice. Their majority might not be as good as we think them to be. Perhaps Trump is a representative of their majority.

Go Canada! You have done more then is required, yet trump is being an idiot. No reason for trade war only thing I can think of is he is dead set on making you the 51st. Fight

Paula Newton is a traitor. I don't think she could try to push her anti-Trudeau agenda. We're the most united across the country we've been since 9/11/2001. And yet she is calling him out because she's pro mega-corp? Take your bag, and retire lady. Treason is really ugly on you

As a European I think Canada is setting a great example, how other countries should deal with US. Let them soak in their own shit! CANADA: all but praise to this great country!

I think he meant to say they had done Biggly things

Trump's rating has gone up from 50% to 53% think about that America.

If there was ever a time to enact the 25th Amendment, this is it! Make no mistake, people. This is a much more serious action than many of us think it is. As crazy as this POS is, I wouldn't put it past him to try and start a war in order to annex Canada, for their minerals, oil and gas. He hasn't the slightest idea of what he's doing! What a NUTJOB!! ..He should be in a straight jacket, not the WH!

And Zielenski is a saint. Think about that.
