Put 100% tariffs on Tesla evs. That way it will hurt him more than putting tariffs on anyother product. Also allow Chinese evs on the market and see how he looses it. Elon musk has invested huge sum of money on the trump campaign. If he suffers so does Trump.

There is something Canada and Mexico don't get, Trump put tariffs because of the illegal trade that comes across the borders, illegal immigrants, gangs and drugs and because he thinks, right or wrong, that Mexico and Canada don't do enough to stop it. Now Mexico and Canada put tariffs on the US, because the US puts tariffs on them, they don't even try to defend their position or debunk what trump is saying about the illegal goods coming in. Trump must be right then, no?

Okay if Trump the Imports everyone that's a immigrant there won't be nobody left to run the country who is he going to have run it robot Elon Musk Facebook inventor the rich he's going to put them in there with him to run the country and take care of the United States of America because Trump is going to send everybody back to their countries so who's going to run America because half of America is all immigrants their Heritage their families are all here without them America can't survive Aldi's American white uneducated hillbilly people that you're trying to put into the capital the White House the government are all losers sex offenders alcoholics crime criminals you release half of the criminals in prison so is that going to run the country maybe they might get mad and come up there and attack you have you ever thought about that for what you did to them with your lies you lied about winning the election and you lied about it and they all went to prison for you because you lied Mr President Trump you are you using Revenge well guess what Revenge will come back to you one day the criminals you left out are going to visit you surprise surprise????????????

They got all kinds of free services from the Government, free housing, free medicade, now Americans have waited 5-6 months on food stamps an still haven't got them, Biden should be charged for putting our Country in this shape, we are pissed off because of this, than God Trump is back in Office.

Trump is not fit to serve as commander in chief, he should be put in jail.

I have lived in Canada for 70 yrs. We will not submit to a want a be dictator-. Hes putting the blame on us when its his fault from all his failed promises hes made before and now. Hes really going to hurt the American people with everything going up in price. Trump will be made to step down im sure do to his ridiculous actions.

Canada ?? China ?? and Mexico ?? should put Tariff 100% on tesla Ford and Chevy and all American vehicles right away, bevause Elon is the Reason We American and Canadian people are not getting Affordable Vehicle from Chinese Automotive industry. He is the one giving trump ideas of tarriff on every country. Tit for tat.

Why wouldn't canada just put a little more effort into the border if thats what trump wants. Seem cheaper

Canada can put all the tariffs it wants on America if Trump closes the Border it'll destroy Canada's economy

Dont blame Trump for all this. Blame President Lincoln, Wilson, Taft for creating taxes. Roosevelt for enacting a bill into law for charging taxes to the American people for social security, Reagan for shutting down factories in US & leaving US to foreign Countries for cheaper cost. Bush, Obama, Biden for bad foreign trading policies & bad spending usage, budgeting of our tax payers money that put US in dept by the trillions. These past Presidents were running our Country into the ground at our expense. President Trump is getting back our Country out of Debt. Alot of reforms needs to happen. Decrease taxes on everything, make startup business easy to survive & sustain. Enact bills into laws to control all Corporations from overpricing their goods to consumers. Lower all consumer goods. Give tax breaks to all business. Taxes should come from other Countries & zero from the American peoples pockets, end to taxing the American people. ✊️

insted of counter tariffs just up the price on anything usa puts a tariff on,.,.usa puts 25% on energy inported then up the price by 25% more ? Let usa pay the bill 50% extra.,.,. i mean if they can bump the cost on what Trump feels the normal american can aford THEN BUMP IT UP.

One guy screwing up the world economy another looser keeping a war( Putin) going ? trump has no respect for Trudeau ( neither have most Canadians). But yes lets where all if this is going . At this point it’s more a hype about what trump announces . We can only react to it when it happens . For sure is that canada put to many eggs in one basket . For us the transport is short across the border but Europe would definitely benefit from our resources. The challenge is that trump is only in for 4 years , after his departure prices will stay up ,as history has proven .

There’s nothing Canada can do when they have a surplus of 150 billion with US so if US put terrace at 25% and can put Terrace at 25% then Trump put it at 100 who’s gonna feel the pinch everything that has American they have gas they have wood they have all the minerals of Canada has they don’t need Canada for anything. And you think that I’m proud of American. I’m actually Canadian but I’m a realist needs America America doesn’t need Canada.

America imports 4M barrels of oil per day from Canada. If Trump would put a 25% tarrif on them and I was Trudeau, I would add an additional 25% export tax onto it. See what the American gasprices will do then. Tarrifs are not the way to go

Trump is going to put a 100% tariff on Canada, they have no idea who they are dealing with. But they will know very soon!

Canada is Rich with Natural resources. I think Trump did a favor to Canadians. It's time for Canadian politicians and Canadians to grow back bone and Start taking care of Canada as a patriot and Put Canada First.

Millionaires and billionaires and the politicians they’ve bought have spent the last 50 years fighting to destroy wages, unions, educational system, acces to healthcare and fought to avoid taxes for themselves leaving ordinary Americans with the bill. Trump is continuing this but more openly and loudly than ever before for all to see. What we in the rest of the western world see as basic rights and essential services is in America seen as “communism” \n\nThe consequences of this is that Americans are suffering and causing a huge demand for drugs both prescription and illegal drugs.\n\nTariffing Mexico and Canada makes no f sense when the peoblem is America and Americans. For many years USA and Mexico have worked together to combat drugs and cartels, there is no need to put tariffs on them.\n\nDrugs will continue to enter USA as long as there is a demand for it, including Musk and Trump jr. The only ones who can fix this is America itself.

Trump is _lying_ about his reasons for putting tariffs on Canadian goods? Really? Now that's totally _in character_ for America's Liar In Chief, _the Felon_ in the White House.

There are so many countries that are willing to trade with the US and will replace Canada and Mexico.Why do you think Trump didnt put tariffs on Europe straight away?\nThe small European countries are the winners and their trade with the USA will increase dramatically. And the products will still be chealer than those from Canada.

Trump said he doesn’t need goods free m Canada, then why put tariffs on them? Go somewhere else

The only reason Trump puts tariffs is to replace the taxes of the rich with import taxes that will be paid mainly by the poor. It is about pleasing the rich.

American here. Please punish Trump for starting a trade war. He's already off to a rocky start and if prices go further up, it will decrease his popularity and put pressure on Republicans.

Trump needs to put huge tariffs on Taiwan.

Trump is violating the trade agreement he himself put in place the last time he was in office. That is how solid his word is. He will violate anything to try and get his way.....ask Jean Carroll....she will tell you about being violated by Trump.

Trudeau should of put a export traffic on the us before trump did it 68 cent dollar we could of made some money giving it away to the us dumb dumb Trudeau

Not good, you should have put 200% ?. Trump is insane

Mr trump on his first day said that he is a peacemaker and want the world to stop the fight. He will stop russia ukraine war etc \n\nSo then he chose to put tariffs on canada and at the end who is going to get sufffer Americans what a joke of a person trump is then saying something and creating problem for own people.\nThe reasons that he is giving of putting tariffs has no relation to tariffs.\nIf he geniunely wants illegal immigrants n drugs to stop in US then rather working on border or asking canadins ministers to put xtra protection on borders \nHe choses tariffs\nTotally nonsense person

Honestly everyone is to blame. Canada and Mexico have both been riding the American gravy train for decades and never got slapped by any of the former presidents. And now that a president who puts the US first comes along everyone acts like America and our president is in the wrong. Just because something wrong was allowed to happen for so long that doesn't mean it was right. So two things these tariffs will do to Canada. One your economy isn't exactly stellar right now. Two Trump just has to pump up the pressure further and Canada will fold. It's that simple. As for Mexico they are squarely attached to America's teet. They need us WAY more than we need them. They will fold. And during negotiations we will make them ok US military operations on the Cartels. All people see is the word tariffs and don't think about the strategy behind them. Tariffs are a tool to apply pressure and gain leverage. Canada and Mexico would do the same if they could. So lets stop with the pearl clutching.

According to google Canada's experts to Usa were 590billion dollars in 2023 and president trump put a %25 tariff for all of it excluding energy.\nNow Canada responded with 30 billion tariff with same rate things such as florida orange juice, tennessee whiskey ... and planning to put another 120billion worth of goods of Usa don't lift the tariffs in 21 days. In any way from these numbers, it looks like Usa is going to rip off canada a lot.\n\nReal response should have been %25 tariff to all usa goods without exception until they lift their tariffs!

Unfortunately the Canadian government is playing right in the Trump‘s hands that’s Trump‘s game that’s his plan he wants counter tariffs from Canada so that he can up the tariffs to 100% that’s the plan because he wants to discourage companies in Canada and Mexico so that they’ll leave Canada and Mexico and come to the US he’s offering huge tax breaks to any companies that want to invest in the US. As Trump’s plan it’s like checkmate crown me king he just give him what he wants he knew it from the beginning and he said it if Canada counter tariffs the US he was put in his terrace at 100% but that’s the plan and the plan is to discourage companies in Canada so they’ll leave what they’re doing

There just needs to be a global trade hault to the USA until trump is removed and things put back into order.

Cannada and Mexico shouldnt complain about the tiny tariffs Mr Trump put on them,,,..The Biggests are gonna be on EU!!!!! ;))

Disgusting but typical move by trump. Vets are vets. If you put your fucking life on the line for the country you DESERVE respect and the fact that people are denying that and refusing to respect veterans who served for 20 years because of their personal identity is horrible and they are all cowards who don’t have the courage to do what they did. Trans veterans deserve respect just as much as cisgender veterans. You can have your political opinions, but respect our veterans.

This is why we put trump up there. WE THE PEOPLE live here this is our country and we have the absolute right to say no to this foolishness. All these people sre coming for benefits, easy lifestyle. Nope, not anymore jack.

When Donald Trump's Yahoo's that he will bail out.... Begin to do sniper Patriot activity..... We have to wonder.... From someone's big mouth.... How did this all get started anyway..... Donald Trump's wet dream martial law... Enough disarray so he can remain in power and continued his dynasty putting his son up next... Being the start of something.... He gets off on this exceptionalism..... Well he's sure being the start of something......... CHAOS

Dear Mr. Donald J. Trump, \n\nThe Egyptian people, in all their diversity, reject your crazy ideas that you put forward recklessly without awareness of their catastrophic impact about the displacement of the Palestinian people off their land. If you think that the Egyptian people can be led behind your unwise lead like those of the Gulf states, then you are mistaken and should reconsider your calculations. We are a people of principle and belief, ready to defend our borders and our homeland to the last of us.\n\nHere's the news; by your strange ideas, you were able to unite the Egyptian people altogether behind their leadership in rejecting the displacement plan of the Palestinian people – our brothers – out of their land. \n\nIn this same context, we would like to convey to you a counter proposal: It is rather the displacement of the Israelis to the United Sates of America; you have huge, underutilized spaces amongst the vast stretches of land of the US, and the Israelis can be very useful to you in all aspects. \n\nWe promise you, if you do this, everyone will be more than happy, and the US economy won’t have to continue its bleeding as it won’t have to continue supporting and arming Israel with all these huge amount of money through the unfortunate American taxpayers’ money anymore.\n\nThink it over, dear Trump.

Trump needs put very large tariffs on Mexico. The Mexican government stood by until this March of people marched all the way there. It has taken them two days to get to the border.

Trump is the Man! Doing exactly what we put him in office to do. Thank you Mr. President!

God be with them all ??️Biden created this problem it should’ve not happened so glad that our president Trump had to clean up this mess no more free stuff from people that bust their ass to put food ? on their families while others sleeps all day and making babies so proud of President Trump he’s doing a great job for our country

I blame all this on the Biden administration who PURPOSELY allowed masses of people from ALL OVER THE WORLD to enter this country illegally in the thousands per day with NO PLAN causing more economic hardship on already economically struggling Americans who many were forced to become homeless, loose their vehicles, loose their job, unable to pay rent or get assistance, and much more and when Americans discovered that people illegally entering the country were being given a \nSpecial debit card in the thousands $$$\nWere being given 2 yrs free rent\nWere being put ahead of those that were legally trying to get a green card after already waiting yrs to get in\nWere being given food stamps and other forms of help $$$$\nWere being given a FREE VEHICLE\nwere placed in jobs along with the federal monies \nWas something painfully and became wrongfully able for suffering Americans and Veterans to accept and voted for TRUMP!\nWhy? Democrats who were placing non Americans before AMERICANS and it became unacceptable!\nI’d like to see another country do what the Biden administration so illegally done!\nSorry ???\nCharity begins at home! We are voting you heartless Democrats out!

Give those border patrols a raise... Donald Trump say he's going to put troops on the borders

It is hard to even believe the world has come to such a ridiculous, immoral place... I do not understand how people on the news can even discuss these things with a straight face..... Our president is wealthy.He is powerful.He does not have to do anything for anyone .. He is putting his tom energy, an effort and to our country out of the love of God add all of those that are intimidated for no reason by him misunderstand that God illuminates helm and others do not even understand why they hate him.... God does shine through people add. I can promise I have the same hate and people try to destroy me.And I am just a simple person... God is good and I am so happy and evidently, I shine way too bright, also, because my joy in the lord illuminates from me... When I go into a store to use the restroom, and the people working in there has the ability by just looking at me to call 911 and tell them I stole... Which the surveillance never lies..\nYou know something about me was so bothersome to those ladies they couldn't help themselves... But I did.However, receive massive legal problems for making up lies and wasting all fifteen cop cars of cops, they wasted it.... So people need to understand those that shine with God's glory are hated by those that don't serve God... People hate me when I am and giving to them. So it makes all the scents in the world why Trump goes through what he does.. the ones that our most amazing to me are those of the view.... They are so in awe of him.They cannot stop talking about him every day... And I do not even understand how ignorant they or because they are truly in awe of him, they can't manage themselves.... If people would just choose love and support our own president in our country, it would be amazing..\n. I'll bet the united states is the only country that has so much hate for our own people and president... why not just choose to wait and see what happens?Hoping for the best... That man tells us, uh, every time he speaks the most wonderful news we have ever heard... It is obvious by all of the people unable to handle themselves because of his amazing everything... Whoopi Goldberg is the most evil bully that lies like a dog. They let on tv

What next? ... \nGas Chambers? \n\nWouldn't put it is Trump.\n\nWhere's the UN in all this? \n\nOn their knees before Trump with open mouths.

Why wasn’t trump ready for this because he trying to put out good American who work hard now fox this you talk about Biden make it make sense

Nancy Pelosi with call this an insurrection and then they put all these poor people in jail for 20 years oh by the way Obama deported more illegal aliens and that Donald Trump when is first Administration did you know that you a bunch of cowardly lying hypocrites

If Trump puts at least $200,000 in Qardun, I am going all in

GET ALL THESE ILLEGALS OUT AND GIVE THAT AID TO AMERICANS!!!! Why should WE suffer bc LAST ADMINISTRATION GAVE BILLIONS TO FAKE ASSYLUM SEEKERS????

People no matter what u are you are doing your country to the best of your ability. No matter what. You are putting your life in the firing line protecting your country, family & friends u are a real hero. If you got a medal from Trump would he question you on your gender or treat you like a soldier!

Why are you wasting your time CNN with this kind of non sense? Transgender seriously??? In military seriously?? Other countries are watching and laughing at you. CNN you should have realized this won’t work for America and you are still on the same path. They are only two Genders, male and female ( we have figured this out many years ago and we are done here )\n\nLet’s put our energy and focus on things that need to be figured out. God bless America and Trump !
