Trump stays true to his name and trumped America in oblivion. We’re here at the end, when the greatest empire has to fail, just like all the great empires before ours.

Trump is trying to end a war it’s not the same thing. We don’t need Canada if you haven’t been to America then you don’t know. We can make whatever you can make and better we can grow anything and more then you can just bc of regional weather. Canada is mad bc they make a lot of money off of us and trump is changing America and getting what it’s worth. America always pays more for imports and exports , why? and yet with out American people buying y’all’s stuff you your government will fall gotta keep last and for most gotta keep Canadian politicians payed as far as I know y’all haven’t had to worry about prices in y’all’s country. For years we have been paying more for stuff that should be made here or we pay less. Plain and simple we are getting what we are worth take it or leave. It will be funny when he cuts all exports from Canada it will take a little bit but we will compensate ans there gonna with they just took the 25% little saying over here is you never know what you got till it’s gon.

The ChiComs, working with their Liberal minions, have made sure that any election will be rigged. Trump is trying to save Canada because he will send Troops into Canada to eject the Chinese military. He wants to do it with laws by getting Canada to join the USA. If that does not happen, he will use the military to do it, and Canada will be seen as the enemy of the USA allied with China. Trudeau admitted that without the welfare the USA has been providing to Canada, your economy will collapse. The Bank of Canada is bankrupt. The Canadian dollar is about to collapse. How will you feel next year when you need two dollars to buy what one dollar buys now? And plan on having fewer dollars to start with because your carbon tax, your sales tax, your income tax are all going up. WAY up. This is what happens when you decide to compete with a USA that is unshackled. The USA can produce more of our own oil than we can use, and we will sell the extra to YOUR foreign customers cheaper than you can produce it. Then you will be BEGGING for a pipeline. So Trump invited Canada to become a member of the most successful and powerful union of sovereign states in history, something that even our own territories of Guam, Puerto Rico, and all the others do not have. An invitation to be a bona fide member. Why do you think that is? Minerals? The USA has all the minerals we need. We have more oil, coal, and natural gas than any nation also, and we can produce and refine it cheaper than any country can. So Canada was invited to become a state so Trump could peacefully eject the ChiComs from North America. And did you accept? No. Did you say no thank you? No. You gave us the finger and said f&$k you to Trump. We hear you Canada. But now is not the time for pain, that comes later.

This is Trump not America. I'm ashamed to be an American represented by this fool Trump

Trump is a horrible, horrible human. I am devastated over what he is doing. I've never once given Trump my vote and I'm not a lefty liberal. I knew if he was voted in he was going to cause world wide chaos. He has shown his character over and over and over...yet a large portion of American's just ignored it. This election wasn't about republicans or democrats or independents. This election was about humanity and global security. American's ignored the writing on the wall for their own singular wants/opinions. They stand with their Trump flags but only a few of them can actually explain any accurate information about his policy or legal issues and they condone his behavior. The majority of Trumpers claim to be 'Christians'. Christians voting for a man who is a bully, abuser, liar, predator, monger of power, impedes freedom of press and speech and aligns himself with a dictator. He pardoned violent offenders and called them patriotic, spouts false information, obstructs investigations, has numerous felony charges against him and has now made enemies with our allies. Shall I go on? That's not Christian. Even if you aren't Christian...that's not what America stands for. All for what...eggs? Guns? Cheaper groceries? Or because your need for hating a small group of people out weighs global peace. Or is it because you are so short sighted that you can't even see the valuable contribution that non American born people provide this country. Yes, Biden fell asleep at the wheel. Yet many of you still believed the better choice was a psychopath. This election was important. We failed as a country by putting this man in office. No matter what party you align with, we failed. Yes, I want cheaper eggs. Yes, I really need cheaper groceries. But not over the safety of the globe. Not over the lives of the people and children being killed in an unprovoked war. Not over the safety of Europe. Not over ripping off our closest and favorite country that borders us. Not over losing our democracy and our allies. I stand with Ukraine, Canada, Mexico and Europe and the Gulf of Mexico. You should ask yourself what you really stand for.

I love Americans, you're always welcome here. Trump has the right to do what's best for America, but Canada needs to start building a strong partnership with more stable and predictable countries like China and certain EU nations. No more blindly following the US in their foreign policy endeavors and wars for Israel.

We don't have to ride it out with Trump, we just have to ride it out with the America people. They will do what's right in the end.

I think that Trump is either gone completely mad or he has turned traitor to America. As an Australian I stand completely in solidarity with Canada but really worry about our reliance on the US. If Trump has no loyalty to his neighboring allies , what chance do we have of him supporting us? I am very glad that important people are finally standing up to this bully.

MR. TRUDEAU, QST, THIS GOVERNMENT IS NOT! AMERICA'S! IT'S TRUMP'S, VANCE'S & MUSK 'S! & 2ND, THAT PUTIN SCUM SUCKING BASTARD IN THE WHITE HOUSE IS NOT! AMERICAN!! HE'S A SCUM SUCKING TREASONOUS TRAITOR TO THE LOWEST PVT. & SEAMEN IN OUR MILITARY & A BACK STABBING S.O B. TO NOT ONLY AMERICAN TAX PAYERS; BUT TO EVERY LONG TERM ALLIE WHO SHARED MUTUAL RESPECT, HONOR & TREASURED SECURITY TO ALL OUR PEOPLES OVER THE DECADES!

Impeach trump immediately , before America crumbles like the Roman Empire did !!!

Trump actions on Tarrifs, gutting of very important agencies, and sacking of thousands of federal government employees, point to a very grim possibility, that Trump is bent on tanking America's economy and alienating allies, for reasons best known to Trump, the highest levels of America's leadership and intelligence agencies (PROBABLY), and, POSSIBLY America's enemies.

As a real Hispanic American??, from Texas I stand with America ?? and President Donald J Trump ?? \n\nCanada looks like a Austin Powers scene ? they are slowly taking our freedom as well open your eyes

He is on point , He should be president of America!!! He ain't scared of trump...

America’s reputation throughout the world is either already down the drain, or circling the drain go down said drain! REMOVE TRUMP AND ALL OF HIS MANY ACCOMPLICES‼️

Jesus Christ, Donald Trump is going to put America against the ??? Check ✔️ \nNo 1 of them are/is BLACK ?

LMAO. We don’t need Canada for a damn thing. The reality is America has been getting screwed by every foreign country out there. Trump is laying it down and yall can stand the F by. America First. We don’t need any fertilizer from you, once Trump rolls back these bullshit EPA regs, America will boom. Adios Canada… LMAO.

Me again. I too have something to say to the Americans who are struggling. Let me ask you all something. What does a country really need to keep it going? The answer is people. With no people working to keep a country going. Then you can't really call your country a country. Let me sadly tell you this ladies and gentlemen. The America you loved and worked hard to sustain, is gone, gone and replaced by your president and his followers. America is now Trump's America. He has change everything that made your America free, peaceful and safe. And when or not you get it back. All of you need to make a decision. If you feel like your safety, life and wellness of your family is in real danger. Then if you can get out of America. Go to a country that you believe will help you and keep you and your family safe and well. Always put your families safety and health first. But if you Don't have the money or a car go leave? Then let me say. Keep fighting and don't stop fighting until this low life criminal and traitor is removed from power. I am praying for all of you who are struggling. Don't give in and don't give up.❤

Is Canada taking in refugees from America??? Trump does not care about anyone other than himself.

No winners in a trade war. No winners in a Trump America. \n\nCanadians should be proud of having a smart, wise, handsome, rational leader. Sadly, ours is the polar opposite, a bloated tragic excuse for a president. As one of MANY millions who voted for Kamala, we join Canadians in the fight against these ridiculous tariffs that Trump initiated. We're ashamed of him. This Trudeau speech is very very honorable and articulate and resolute.

Thats why trump is so mad ukrain didnt signe the agreement to have accese of the half of theire minerals , america needs it

Everyone knew that Trump election meant the end of american supremacy in the world. His insanity was there all the time. The whole world saw that comming. Everyone but americans saw. Now you have a foreign billionaire imploding your democracy from within to install a fascist experiment. When you wake up from this nightmare, the world order will have changed and America will be a second-rate country.

Stupid ass Trump is making enemies right and left to please Putin. He is a sell out to Russia. He is not making America great. The dumb ass is making America worse. \nI am proud of Canada and their leadership. Nothing like the mess we have now here in the US.

Bless Canada, Mexico and America free of Trump!!! ❤

PLAIN AND SIMPLE YOU TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE USA....AMERICA FIRST NOW IS WHY WE VOTED FOR TRUMP

Trump is in the process of destablizing the greatest trade relationships in world history, while he angers at least half of his own citizens. This all being done while turning on a country that was our allie until January of 2025. Now he has cut off aid to Ukraine, setting the stage for their defeat. Trump now carries responsibility for the possibllty Ukraine will lose the war. Trump's legacy in history will be of the greatest looser and worst president in the history of the United States of America.

This is the same Trudeau that flew to Mar-a-Largo to grovel and kneel at Trumps feet. I have complete respect for Canada but not Trudeau. If he had any balls, he would shut down all power to America.

You watch Mr. Trudo! Your are only the 54 state. Respect your President Donald Trump!! America???? is GREAT AGAIN.

In the long run America will be 10 times stronger in every aspect as long as we don’t complain about the short term cost. Yes poor and rich alike. Have faith in trump he is a great man for America. Let’s stick it out till America makes everything we Americans need to prosper??

I think Trump is taking orders from Putin because this behavior is what will destroy America and that is what Putin wants. Putin told him to stand up and be a man and make them obey you. This is what dumb Trump is listening to and doing

Why doesn't America have a responsible leader like Canada? Are we going to let our Country be run by Grifters and Greedy Con men? Take action TODAY! Americans make the choices. Not Insane fools by the name of Trump.

Putin is not Trump's friend he will destroy America from within. Just sad...

I grew up 30 min from the Canadian border. Canada has always been a neighbor and a friend. I cannot believe what has happened to our government and I did not vote for this. The majority of America does not want this and do not want Trump. Please know that.

Trump is ruining America and its allies……truly sad and then HE supports Putin who would in a second kill Trump and then brag about it.

mi request to the all Americans and Canadians to tariff trump Kiss or Kick. No need to frustrate , digest it. Buy your own country, s goods. Good Luck to Americans papa trump and his policies in the America and broad.

None of this would have happened if American people didn't vote for Trump. Well done America.

European Union here, Czech Republic. We stay with us Canada, we stay with you! And let's bypass Trump's America with Mexico and the whole South America as our allies too. BTW the Arab league can be our friends too and many countries in Africa and Asia, South Africa and Australia as well. Let us not be dominated anymore, let us finally freely cooperate!

Now we have the conspiracy against Trump from autside America\nThis is time to protect America as place of the west freedom even a lot of leaders are against freedom against Trump

Wow wow wow. Finally a leader that called Putin a murderous dictator and that America is now with Russia. Trump is a fool!

The problem here isn't temporary. Tariffs may or may not be. But when Canada, Mexico, and other countries build alternate trade infrastructure and strike deals that exclude America, this becomes near irreversible and will hurt America's economy well after Trumps term. And that's just trade and economy.\n\nThen there are many relationships worldwide which are already affected, and world leaders are poised to move on without America - leaving it isolated. The US is the most powerful country in the world and can survive alone, but even so, no country flourishes without international partnerships that both parties can rely on. Like Putin, nobody can rely on Trumps word.\n\nHe is destroying everything. And the American public are largely sitting back and watching it. \n\nWake up before it's too late.

America ?? have a dumb president, he is the orange man called Trump ?

I stand with America and Trump. Not this pos. Don't threaten me and don't tread on me

Please not all of America just the Trump administration and MAGA

All you Americans in this post are committing treason when Trump are doing this for America. If a country invades Canada who do y’all think they’re going to call on. The United States.

Canada thank you for being the bigger person in all of this, I pray America wakes up one day and just admits they were wrong and sold a false bag of goods by Trump ( for those who were to oblivious to see it)

Trump wants America to look dumb in the eyes of the world, smh.

I like trump and what he stands for but since he took office he's been a real scumbag to all the allies. As a brit we should help Canada as much as possible, America Is not America and ut won't be for many many years, after trump it will be Vance as president then another bully after that. Europe needs to stand up all over the place fxxk America and Russia, conventionally Russia wouldn't stand a chance against the EU its time we stood up.

Trudeau you are a weak lying snake bending truth to your victim narrative. Trump put you on notice regarding tariffs and here we are. Do you think he is not a man of his word? Well you have now experienced that this is in fact the case first hand. You have taken from America with very little in return and these are the consequences of your woke agenda for Canada. Look at you spouting venom, dischord and anarchy from your pulpit. Trump is interested in econmic revival for America and if you are not on board you will fall by the wayside. Only smart leaders realise throwing insults at Trump will only weaken your countries position. Surely you realise Trump is one of the most persecuted people on the planet, unjustly so, and your rhetoric will fall on deaf ears in the whitehouse. They've heard all the nonsense before. But, continue throwing the insults, chuck your toys out the pram, if it makes you feel like a grownup. I don't fancy your chances though.

The rubble that Trump is creating will be the foundation upon which socialism in America will rise, like a Phoenix from the ashes. What we are seeing is the end-stage of corrupt, crony capitalism in service to the fascist oligarchs and their colluding industrial cartels. Make no mistake about this: An oligarchy is a fascist state. A kleptocracy in service to a soulless minority. A cult of personality.

Thanks to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's leadership, speaking clearly in whole sentences, calling out DJT lies, untruths & fallacies while outlining & correcting w' facts & truths... DJT utilizes deceptiveness to gaslight Americans increasingly less effectively... More Americans are opening their eyes & ears... unfortunately some not... Hopefully soon.\n>> Trudeau calls out Trump aligning America w. PUTIN--Russia, a Dictator, thug & murderer, and displacing historical allies & friends..\n>> Fentanyl is manufactured in China; shipped in bulk to Mexican Cartels, etc, to prep for the American Markets--Why hasn't Trump stopped it now he's in charge of the borders. \nRECALL SYCOPHANTS from Congress--Replace w' patriots to impeach Trump-Vance & prosecute them w/ Musk, DOGE & all who are violating our laws accessing & deconstructing our Govt.

Wake up Americans. Trump is a RUSSIAN ASSET operating from the seat of US power. He is sabotaging America for personal gain of the most ridiculous kinds.
