Foolish people make their own lives difficult, while stupid people make others' lives difficult in addition to their own difficult lives. Long live the Canadians and the Americans.

Love Trudeau or hate him... he is not backing down, and neither are the Canadian people. We love our American friends, we love your products. We love how you value freedom. But make no mistake, back us into a corner at your peril. We are nice, happy people but we have a warrior spirit.

Soy Boy Trudeau, you are not a friend of the American people. The majority of Americans voted for the current administration to make changes. Perhaps we will have a better relationship when you are gone from office.

I agree with our Canadian friends & neighbor.....100% doesn't make sense.....I say fight fight fight Canada......we would do the same thing if our borders were threatened by any means from anyone. The majority of Americans stand with you in solidarity.

Russia has always had Trump as a puppet, and he is doing exactly what Putin wants. Can anyone explain this in a way that makes sense? Canada?? Putin wants to destroy democracy, and what better way than through an Orange Turd? Americans you did this, so only you can undo this.

The rural parts of America, where people wear military style clothing, work out so much they have oversized body muscles, and style their head and facial hair so crazily, driving heavy duty trucks with anti -American government bumper stickers, they are the right wing domestic terrorists. In those mountainous rural counties you will come across poor grade roads with gates and chains at the entrance to hundreds of fortress compounds. The women are way too thin, often with frightened, glazed looks in their eyes. Both the men and women will give anyone a way too long piercing stare. They live too far away from any place to work so many of the carefully obscured building complexes, often jammed against sheer tall walls of rocks, have to be making something inside!

I cannot believe on his last days as PM, he finally started fighting fentanyl, under the threat of tariffs and he wonders why they still put them in place. It’s probably because they want to make sure that he keeps doing what he should have done for Canadians along time ago. But trump should not keep the tariffs in place after Justin is gone it will only hurt both us Canadians and Americans.

It makes sense when the American President is a Russian intelligent asset with his own code name.

Like always …just follow the money…which will bring you to the players pulling the Trump puppets strings and they could care less about the average American, Canadian, Mexican or any other citizen. They are already making huge profits from this decision and if it changes in a month they will make huge profits from that as well.

So Americans want to give money away because Canadas president doesn't want to pay 25%. Americans just got lazy and want other countries make their stuff instead of doing it themselves and making the price lower.

You must go to a higher level than just matching Trumps 25%. Make him feel the pain and know Americans will survive all of this. We regret electing D Trump. He is a liar, and isn't doing what he promised. He's making things much worse.

take back everything you instated for trump with border security and let them deal with there own drug problems... and start refusing american goods at the border... tell them we only pay a set amount or send it back! when the US asks why we did it we can tell them it was to cover the costs of tarriffs that trump thinks the government pays... well lets make his words ring true at their expense!

We are with you Trudeau. We need our true American allies to rise up and get Trump out asap!! The White house is ruining America , the people and the World got their own self gain. Meanwhile Katy Perry is going into space or the oscars are going on . Ypu could not make it up.

I’m from the uk, It’s sad to see our brothers across the pond make these decisions against each others interests at a time when the west should strengthen its alliances, I have massive respect for Justin Trudeau in laying out the facts and not shying away from speaking frankly to Americans and Donald directly

DT? The American president who wants to be remembered as a “peacemaker”? And he starts a NEW WAR? Not with one country but with two and God knows with who else will he go after. Power and Money hungry fool. \nAmericans when are they going to wake up. D Trmp is NOT God. Constantly claims in every tv moment he REPEATS his prerogative that “no war would have started if he was in power 4 years ago” and he tries to get two wars stop with an special ‘noble peace’ title interest. Make it clear. Trmp is NOT God. And he is not smart as he claim he is. He uses fear to get anyone fear him. Millions around the world have no respect for this man. I don’t think God is actually happy with this man. He is getting old just like Biden and soon his cognitive will decline too. He is already crunching bending forward and can verily hold his head straight up and the bulge in his back shows he is tired. Will see him soon sleeping in front of cameras.

As an American who supports justice, integrity, and respect.. to watch this fear/ego charged charade makes me sick and ashamed at what this country has become: a political scam aimed at taking far more than is given, lies stacked on top of lies and a global deception scheme that risks the livelihood of every single citizen. We can’t go on like this. This administration will destroy America before the end.

I feel bad for the American people, I have friends there and they have a hard enough time as it is. This just makes me sad. I also have friends who have died due to fentanyl, fix our border on both sides, damnit. And catch these assholes who are killing both our countries citizens.

He's totally contradictory, he says the border has been great yet he's spending a billion making it better. Clearly a major issue is fentanyl and how many Americans are affected. Anyhow hasn't he gone yet? Canada I know you want someone better than this guy.

Little to late, Americans voted for the man President Donald John Trump,the MAN to make it happen.

As a European having lived in both Canada and the United States for prolonged times, my view is this: Canadians are basically the same as Americans but with Health Care. They have a common heritage and history and this is like a brother turning evil and hurting its siblings. Trump is smart? I don't think so, he comes across as a low IQ individual born with privileges, heck he has been bankrupt what is it four times? Right now he thinks he is making America Great again but instead he is on a path to bankrupt even the US Economy. These kind of things in history often have caused actual physical War and he talks about Zelenski is toying with a 3rd world war. Wouldn't it be funny (and not in a comical sense) if in fact Trump causes the 3rd world war with his actions instead?

I love Americans, please make sense of this? We never did anything wrong.

This is insanity. We've allowed an insane person to run our country. A mass number of Americans are simply wrong headed regarding what matters. This and many other moves will only make us weaker and poorer.

Trudeau was never ever seen as a smart man. It is a mockery for a fool to call a genius dumb. Aka: Same as AOC calling Elon Musk not smart. AOC's brain cells could barely count to 100. \nBut honestly, this fool Trudeau who is resigning because in the end he proved worthless and like a little lap dog had to snap at President Trump as he is ready to be ousted because he, himself knows that in today's world he is totally incompetent. \nMost true Americans know President Trump is right. And though we disagree on making Canada our 51st state, because we prefer to have it as our personal Democrat reject dump site.\nThe Stock Market downfall you can rest assured are more of the Democrats boycotting America which we have always known to back stab America every chance they get. Democrats have always been Americas traitors, and we wouldn't expect any different from them now.

I find it so disturbing that I’m gonna say this if JD Vance little man JD Vance, the guy who called himself he was in the battlefield, but he wasn’t in no battle. He was just in the battlefield cleaning boots and you know making sure his gun work and you know cleaning his helmet, but he never went outside. He never went outside and what kills me. Is people who talk like they real veterans but they did no vet. They did no vet you ain’t no vet you talked about, the guy who is running with Kamala make it seem like he lied but she was in Afghanistan or I mean Iraq or whatever you call yourself you was in a compound. I know that for fact, JD Vance was in a compound awaiting instructions to see if you were able to go out there battle you didn’t go battle you watch the convoy go in and out. You are the same people you watch in mash mash the show when everybody go outside those same people sitting inside just cleaning boots and walking around that’s what he was doing, if this guy think that you guys could do whatever is dumb let everybody know mega is dumb. I don’t care what mega wanna say you put them in front of a scoreboard and you give them testes they going to show you their dumb most mega is dumb. They’re uneducated. That’s a fact There’s no going around it uneducated OK you can see from the terrorist that’s being put in. They’re uneducated because I don’t know who that’s why when people telling you they want to bring back religion you need to bring back economics in school bro economics in school. You need to bring what really matters not not you. Let a guy who duck the army twice with foot with phony letters, I don’t know how that’s not Fraud if I was supposed to go to the army army twice wouldn’t that call for me to be investigated and be charged for fraud on phone phones shouldn’t be charged for that but you guys run around here calling out veterans and fire and veterans and JD Van saying he’s a veteran and watching the veterans go down this is why I say you put them boys back on the battlefield. I guarantee you veterans will probably put them in the back put them in the back. Yeah they probably send them out to clean the mind as you know, they used to do to the black, servicemen back in the days they used to send them off the plane knowing they was gonna die. They used to send them off the plane to clean mines knowing that they’re gonna die. They used to send them off the planes and shot them while they’re getting shot by the opposition, tell me America if I’m lying about that didn’t you do that to the black serviceman you let them jump off the plane you shot at them but those same black servicemen help us win the war it wasn’t just American white blood they died just like everybody else they died and coward faster the black servicemen help us win the war from air and ground Those Jews, the Jews they help us war to so many races that they’re not telling you that helped you win this war World War I and two America is lying to you guys and that’s what’s been the problem for decades. America is lying to the people and they won’t take acceptability But JD Von he’s gonna get the president of United States. I’d rather vote for pence I’d rather vote for the same guy you say you wanted to vote for him for president then JD Vance if we had to put vice president up there and you had a choice out of say the Democrats loss and you had a choice out of JD Vance or pence I had to choose pence, I would choose Cristi. I would choose them near my feet. It doesn’t have a name to go into. I choose my feet. I would choose somebody else’s feet then put a despicable guy like JD vans a couch hump like JD vans AAA I can’t find a white bread American apple pie woman to marry but I had to go out and use my catalog to buy a woman from out-of-state pregnant her and give her a green card JD vans hell fuck fuck noyou will never get my vote even when you die. You won’t get my vote even when they died you won’t get my vote. Good luck, sir.

I'm an American veteran who served for 40 years in the military, and I'm proud I did. But this thing that's in the White House makes me ashamed to be an American. Please don't think real Americans support this ass. It's the slow witted people who only come out of the hills when they want to attack our Capital. We apologize for these people. Please pray for us. It's in God's hands now.

As an American I will make a greater effort to buy Canadian

The border is just a smoke screen. Trump wants to cripple your economy so that he can move in and make you the 51st State of America. He is a dictator who, like his hero Putin, wants to build empires.\nI'm in Europe. I've already stopped buying anything American and if you export to us in Europe, I will buy Canadian.

As an American, I applaud your response and would make only one change. Instead of saying that 'America' did this, please more precisely state that the Trump administration is implementing these Trade War acts. ✌

Go Canada! from an American. Don't bow down to the bully narcissist. Nothing Trump does makes sense. Worst president ever.

We dont trust you shitbag, Canada already ousted you! The only thing this will do to anerica is make a bunch more american made millionaires. We will replace your Canadian bullshit with American made real shit. By Canada, u need us, we dont need you!

Even Americans cannot make sense of this madness. ?

It's not sabotage. It's calculated to make Americans hungry & desperate & controllable. Our future is being stolen from us and this is just the beginning. I pray for us all.

Trump is making enemies all over the world you American needs to overthrow trump and Vance

As an American tax dollars subsidize youre country. It's not fair make it fair Trudeau

Trump fentanyl with Canada is BS he destroyed in one month generation of Neighbors Allies Partners Friends Trudeau is not Liang to Canadian like you are to the Americans this is going to hurt both and is not going to make America golden ??????

Harris voter here, you gotta do what you gotta do Canada. I don't know if I will make it through this but there are people out there in worse situations with more overtly oppressive governments, so I can't complain too much. The only thing I can do is hope that the breaking point is soon where those of us who don't hold contempt for compassion and intellect rise up and show the government that we have had enough. I have never wished misfortune upon another human being before, but Trump and Vance have blatantly shown that they are legitimately evil human beings with only their own interests in mind. They are not true Americans, because they don't care about America beyond exploiting it to their own benefit.

CAnada have treated American unfair for years. So trump put a tariff tax on Canada to make it fair. Trumuea is a evil person. But Canada already know that my friends.

So it will only hurt Americans family but not Canadian?? We can make those factory to produce from USA side. Sorry, I didn’t vote for trump.

It was a mistake to try to placate Trump. He's a demented egomaniac and he's too dumb to negotiate with. Appeasement didn't work with Hitler and it won't work with this Nazi scumbag either. Canada has no choice but to make the American people suffer in the hope they will apply pressure on this senile, diaper-soiling idiot.

American citizen here….@ Trudeau we don’t want this either. It’s clear this administration does not care about the American people. It’s clear they seek to destroy the people and exploit the American people to gain more power. Thank you for clearly saying what we all know as this administration continues to gaslight the world. Make it make sense?

Trump is now making Americans his enemies

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.

It all makes sense if one realizes that trump is a russian asset by the name Krasnov. \nPrime Minister Trudeau, I hold no ill will against you, your beautiful country or country men/women. We, the reasonable Americans, understand that you must do what you have to.

American supporters of Donald Trump. Stop, look, and listen to what you’re hearing here today. Are all the world leaders and people across the world wrong? What makes any of you think that Trump is right? Are you really willing to continue to stand with that man as he dismantles all relationships with allies and all fellow human beings who stand for democracy? Look at what he’s already been allowing Musk to do so far at this point in this country. The time has come to truly ask yourselves what you stand for and make the right choice

Again, I will say we Americans love our Canadian friends! You have every right to come down hard on America. Make it hurt! Maybe Republicans will finally wake up to how cruel and hateful Trump is and see that he is totally out to destroy America not only at home but abroad.

I see alot of 2 face americans here making comments supporting canada. You people voted for that convicted criminal and now you want to act innocent. Americans are complicit in this act of war.

It’s honestly such a disgusting feeling to be an American right now. I love my country and many of its people but the trump administration is tarnishing this country and making it an embarrassment across the globe. I feel powerless and angry. I hope for the best and I fully support this response Canada.

Im american from orlando fl ,Congratulations mr trump, you're gonna make america poor gain.

Mr. Trudeau, don't waste your time to talk to Trump. Trump is that stupid thug who never makes sophisticated thoughts. Trump is playing some PC game, and people are of no worth for him. Neither american, nor any others. Trump is pathetic liar, who will keep doing stupid things. Presedency is just a game for that thug to have some fun in his otherwise senseless life.

Trudeau should have told you REPUBLICAN idiots exactly what Dipstick Trump is doing! TRUMP is doing the TARIFF thing to make up for all the TAXCUTS he is giving the RICH (taxcuts which NO average US taxpayer will receive) and now YOU are going to pay more for everything! Just remember, Canadians will still get the same amount of money from the sale, BUT the price to all of YOU will be 25% higher. You MAGA AMERICANS need to have your 2 BRAINCELLS talk to each other instead of complaining about anyone of color, sexual preferences or ideas that are different to yours
