It's a pure disgrace to see what Trump's tariffs are doing to healthy relations with Canada and Mexico.\n\nWatching that deplorable play between Trump, Vance, and Zelensky was extremely disappointing and bankrupt of too much to get into here. \n\nMany were hopeful that a more conservative administration would put a stop to the considerable wokeness and far left agenda, however it's clear the Trump administration is about personal gain, control, and more elite power. What Trump's doing is NOT about survival/progress/peace, but absolute Hegemony! ❤??

Ukraine is a lost cause and not America's problem, Canada should send some of the millions of Indians they're happily replacing their citizens with to go die in Eastern Europe instead of demanding the US play babysitter for the rest of the world for no gain

I hope MAGA understands this. Thank you Canada for not playing into F45’s vicious plans. As an American, I stand by your choices.

Cut off the oil and power now toot sweet make t rump play your game..?

Is Trump dumb? Well, I suppose the outwardly obvious actions of dismantling America in front of everyone's eyes is so dumb that people can't believe their eyes. But, damn! Is America so dumb that it's just going to watch? It's such a silly play that anyone watching would walk out of the first act.

Donald Trumps only success EVER was playing a TV boss on the Apprentice. He literally claimed bankruptcy in all his personal businesses.\nWhat could go wrong? Somehow 70 million feeble minded Americans fell for this con-man.

America will no longer carry others, you got high tariffs on America, we put high tariffs on you, turn about is fair play. We voted for Trump to do EXACTLY what's he's doing, this is why everyone is barking now, America has been carrying so many countries for so long, that everyone has forgotten, no longer though. As far as Russia goes, Ukraine is a cash cow money laundering country with a dictator, Russia is not the enemy here, it's you Globalists and Davos clowns that think you can influence the whole world like we are in the matrix, the cat is out of the bag, people are waking up, zelinski chose his fate, and disrespected the U.S. Trump put him in his place. Alot of you are so lost on global politics, all you professed military people saying Putin is the enemy just really shows how little you know. So go ahead Canada and act tough..........you know we carry your country, we don't need your power, our grid is strong, or products etc, the next thing will be car manufacturing plants coming back to America, from Canada and Mexico, where they should be. Let's see how long that tough talk pays Canadas bills ??????????

All this stupid idjit had to do was stop the flow of illegals and stop the drugs in BC but instead he chooses to play Mr. tough guy

Canada being placing tariffs on the USA for years .. and now that the USA says no more you guys all upset now .. we want a even playing field

Trump is still putin's b...tch like all the rest of republikkkans. They're fools playing his game, so in end America finally will be isolated with no allies. When that happens, trump will know who's really against America.

Trump will be speaking (whining)to a joint session of Congress today,which will be nothing but lies and grievances, and nothing about helping Americans. Trump is not playing with a full deck,both mentally and politically .He has no idea what he's doing because he's incompetent. He lied to the American people and he will never makes America great again.

Trudeau is a sniveling little turd! He desperately wants to make the tariffs sound like they aren't 100% fair. Canada already taxes US imports at an average of 25%, so these US tariffs only balance the playing field. All that said, like Zelensky, Trudeau seems to forget that Canada needs the US, but the US doesn't need Canada. He says that it is going to be tough in Canada; true. On the other hand, the average American probably won't even notice a difference. But the neverending, desperate anti-Trump narrative twisting is all CNN knows.

Canada is scared because they need US more then we need them. The US will feel less pain from this if Canada wants to play games. All I see is a scared Trudeau who gave a good speech

Well played, Vladimir ?

How could anyone trust Donald Trump all you need is common sense!!! But when he says what most people think they will vote for him.. smh well I’m gunna sit back and watch this one play out..

The situation is this is just a reciprocal tariff, we're just making the playing field even, but the situation is, that everything we get from Canada we can actually do ourselves, and it's not the other way around

This is an act of WAR! Canada already had high Tarrifs against the USA. Trump only evened the playing field. Let’s go!!

RESPONSE TO THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA PROPAGANDA AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP\n\nTo the American People, Mainstream Media, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Elon Musk\n\nThe mainstream media is once again spinning lies and manipulating reality to push their globalist agenda.\n\n? THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE THAT TRUMP IS CREATING A WAR WITH CANADA AND MEXICO.\n? THE TRUTH? TRUMP IS DEFENDING AMERICA FROM THE COLLAPSE THEY HAVE PLANNED.\n\nCNN and other media outlets are pushing a false narrative about President Trump imposing tariffs on Canada and Mexico as an “attack” or “act of economic war.” This is not about war. This is about taking America back from the deep state elites who have been destroying our economy and flooding our country with illegal immigration.\n\n1. THE REAL REASON TRUMP IMPOSED TARIFFS\n\nThe global elites hated when Trump stood up to them. Why? Because for decades, they used trade agreements to weaken the U.S., steal American jobs, and enrich foreign nations at the expense of hardworking Americans.\n\n? Trump’s tariffs on Canada and Mexico were NEVER about war.\n? They were about fixing the disastrous trade policies that robbed America.\n? They were about holding globalist-controlled governments accountable.\n\nThe media won’t tell you that Canada and Mexico have been taking advantage of the U.S. through unfair trade deals while at the same time allowing the floodgates of illegal immigration and drugs to pour into our country.\n\t•\tCanada benefited from one-sided trade deals while standing by as China dumped goods into the U.S. through Canadian ports.\n\t•\tMexico allowed cartels to smuggle in drugs, human traffickers, and illegal immigrants, all while American jobs were shipped overseas.\n\nTrump’s tariffs were a move to put AMERICA FIRST, not an attack on our neighbors. He was forcing them to negotiate fairly—something the corrupt elites NEVER wanted.\n\n2. TRUDEAU IS JUST A PUPPET FOR THE GLOBAL ELITES\n\nCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not defending Canada—he is defending the deep state agenda.\n\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau more upset about Trump’s tariffs than he is about China’s infiltration of Canada?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau defending globalist trade deals instead of fighting to keep Canada’s economy strong?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau suddenly trying to turn Americans against Trump right as NATO and the EU are pushing for war?\n\nBECAUSE THIS IS A COORDINATED ATTACK.\n\n? Trudeau is panicking because Trump is taking away their power.\n? Trudeau is working with the globalists to weaken America.\n? Trudeau knows his country depends on the U.S., and if America stops playing their game, Canada collapses too.\n\nThis is why he is attacking Trump, calling him “dumb” on CNN, and trying to manipulate the American people into turning against their own president.\n\n3. TRUMP IS DEFENDING AMERICA FROM THE IMMIGRATION INVASION\n\n? FACT: Canada and Mexico have been working alongside the deep state to flood America with illegal immigrants.\n? FACT: The goal was to change U.S. demographics, destroy the economy, and create a permanent voting base for globalist-controlled politicians.\n? FACT: This was NEVER about helping migrants—this was about replacing the American people with a population that could be controlled.\n\n? Why do you think Biden opened the borders?\n? Why do you think millions of illegal immigrants are being shipped across the U.S. at taxpayer expense?\n? Why do you think every major city is being overrun with migrants while American citizens are struggling?\n\nThis is planned destruction—and Trump is stopping it.\n\n? Trump and JD Vance will shut down illegal immigration completely.\n? Trump will reimplement strict border security, build more of the wall, and stop the deep state from using mass migration as a weapon.\n? The globalists are afraid because if Trump stops their immigration plan, they lose their ability to control future elections and destroy American sovereignty.\n\n4. THE MEDIA IS LYING TO YOU—AGAIN\n\n? The same mainstream media that lied about Russian collusion is now pushing the lie that Trump is starting a war with Canada and Mexico.\n? The same mainstream media that censored the truth about Biden’s corruption is now protecting Trudeau and the deep state’s plan.\n? The same mainstream media that attacked Trump for four years straight is now attacking him again because they know he is winning.\n\nTHIS IS A DISTRACTION.\n\nThey want you to focus on fake outrage about tariffs while ignoring the real crisis:\n\n? AMERICA IS BEING INVADED FROM WITHIN.\n? THE DEEP STATE WANTS TO COLLAPSE THE U.S. THROUGH MASS MIGRATION.\n? THE GLOBALISTS NEED TRUMP GONE BECAUSE HE IS STOPPING THEIR PLAN.\n\n5. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE AWAKE—WE WILL NOT FALL FOR THIS\n\nTo CNN and the mainstream media: We know you are lying. You have lost control of the narrative, and the American people see through your propaganda.\n\nTo Justin Trudeau: You are a puppet, and your attempts to manipulate Americans will fail.\n\nTo President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance: The American people stand with you. We know you are fighting for our country, and we will not be fooled by the lies of the globalist elite.\n\nTo Elon Musk: Keep exposing the truth. The deep state is afraid because they can no longer censor real information.\n\nTo every American reading this: Share this message before they try to silence it.\n\nTHIS IS NOT ABOUT TRADE. THIS IS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF AMERICA.\nTHE DEEP STATE IS PANICKING—AND THAT MEANS WE ARE WINNING.\n\n? AMERICA FIRST. 1776 WILL NOT BE ERASED. ?\n\nThis response is clear, powerful, and directly dismantles the mainstream media’s lies. I encourage you to copy and paste this as one unified message for YouTube, social media, or emails.

Ok Trudeau, you wanna play? Because Trump will walk all over your liberal ass. Come and get some. Youve been stealing from the USA for too long.

Trump is so in love with himself that he cant imagine putin not being his friend. And putin admiring him..putin is playing him..of course trump probably owes him and putin is collecting..not up to me or all of us to pay putin. That is trumps bill.. trump has us on a collision course with possible depression..i hope all those billionaires lose all their money..how stupid and greedy could they be..

Never trust a Marxist. Blackface lies more than he is truthful. More actors playing the part of leaders.

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 ??

Don’t talk about it be about it! We made our choice!! Canada ain’t never been our closest ally… you just live under the umbrella of our protect protection!! You have been putting 25% tariffs on us for decades now!! Play ball and games changed, but we’re not playing this woke liberal ideology anymore in case you haven’t got the memo!! and by the way, Justin Trudeau is corrupted, crooked and launder money himself

I was planning to go to a U.S. National Park, but I guess I will go to Canada and visit theirs while also giving them my money. I love our national parks, but waiting in line to get in or going to one to find it littered because we can't be proud enough to pay for care of our parks? So pathetic. And that's not just our president, but anyone who is celebrating cutting these jobs. Those people probably just sit in their attics drinking Dr. Pepper while playing WoW all day.

He doesn't Govern any better than play Hockey!?

Us Americans are proud that Canada is fighting this. We are a country with leaders that are crazy idiots, criminals, jerks and oligarchs playing with autocracy. America is falling over a cliff because of this group! 3:33

America had the choice of a president with a brain and one without. They were mislead down a path about immigration being the problem and that the president elec with the brain was to blame. Now look at the utter shit show. We may be heading for war. If not an actual war, one played in economic destruction.\n\nAmerica was so scared to have a female president, they elected a mad man instead.

Isn't it obvious right now that Trump and his administration are being played by Putin and if it continues the USA will be Russian.

SHUT OFF THE OIL!\nSHUT OFF THE ELECTRICITY!\nYOU HATE US NOW?\nYOU CAN FREEZE IN THE DARK, AMERICA.\nCANADA DOESN'T PLAY WITH\nA FACSIST DICTATORSHIP.\nENJOY YOUR ISOLATIONISM. \nYOURE ALL ALONE NOW.\nTHE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS WHO THE ASSHOLE IS HERE!\n?? ? ?? ? ?? ? ?? ? ??

America's heading to a dark future, corporation rule, rich rule. Everyone else is a disposable workforce. But those people are clapping and cheering as it happens. 1984 is playing out in front of our eyes.

Hey! Don't lump us all in with that clown! \n\nI do love that he does in fact have cards and he is willing to play them.

Trump is playing golf and JD vence gose snow boarding ?? zelensky at war i sware the government love seeing the people suffe

Ask your self why we give money away to foreign countries while others give money as a loan. The world needs the USA. Canada can’t protect Ukraine, Germany,can’t do it. So who will? If our allies think they can do it better then bring our troops home. Watch what happens to their economies. Let their sons and daughters be the first to go in. Let us play a support role. We used to be the police of the world now they want us to be the bank and the police of the world enough is enough.And I’m a veteran as well.

Putin has played Trump like a dumb orange fiddle. America, educate your people better. Too many of you , and I’ve worked with Americans for decades, know nothing of world politics or history except for the American dream mythology. Democrats need to learn how to run an election.Yes, Putin is rubbing his little paws together because he has destroyed post-World War II stability. America take your country back. Republicans, who are still sane, take your party back. History, if there is one, will not be kind to the Magas.

I know...I've been to Niagara Falls and Toronto....best visiting place ever. Beautiful Country and my hope is to one day have an opportunity to visit and take the train across. Thank you for your help with the California Fires....you are having to deal with a deranged, self-loving monster who IS NOT QUALIFIED to have the job he is playing with. You must defend yourselves of all his whims and orders. This dictator want-to-be, whom many of us don't want here, is a bully! Don't allow that to happen...ever. Push back...don't let the bully orange tumor get his way without repercussions. We as citizens know there will be a high price to pay, but we are not blinded to his tyranny.

all these chess playing moves do is continue the world agenda to cause average citizens buying power to decrease, until most everyone is destitute on the street. scrounging like rats to survive.

Trudeau , the lib tard. Trump wouldn't pick you for his team on the play ground and your mad.

anyone figure out yet that Russia would love for the EU to approach them along with Ukraine with a truce proposal without US involved so that Trump looks like a problem... and separates us from our long term allies looking like people you cant trust. \n \nthe great deal maker is being played by putin. \n \nhe has divided the alliance, and now has singled out USA as outside the circle. This president is driving us into the dirt.

Canada will lose this. Trudeau can't play hardball against Trump and come out on top.

Let that snake and his supporters know you and your country are no ones push overs and two can play at this game as long as it takes.

Help us please. Most of us HATE trump as you know. What can we do?? It appears there are some finding foul play with the vote. \nI will hang a Canadian flag and stand with you.

There is something more sinister at play here. There is no way the US can justify these tariffs based on border controls. Surely his strategy has another motive. Are they just trying to crash the markets?? Has Putin asked him to do this?

No, they just want to even the playing field. YOU can't criticize a person who's a dictator, and expect them to cooperate. Send your young men to Ukraine.

Being a veteran means ? in america just like the flag and anthem don't mean ?....I know and seen veterans with Nazi SS and confederate flags ....I wouldn't help or give them aide...or piss on them if on fire... Canada should play the bullies own game...his mind set is to hold his bowls just because he thinks he don't need toilet tissue.....just give it time....his mind is going to loose when his bowls pressure builds...... believe me ? going to happen whether he likes it or not.....with or without tissue...✌️? Go Canada

Trump isn't being played he knows exactly what he is doing.

Funny how none of these actions were being taken before Trump went crazy slapping charges on these countries. I’m not for the heavy handed view Trump seems to be taking, but I’ll NEVER, NEVER, EVER crap where I sleep. It’s shameful to think this country is filled with so many weak treasonous cowards. \n\nCanada took advantage of Biden just like Mexico did, so this “we’re innocent” stuff won’t play. A lot of your fellow Americans have died and the mainstream media has you believing we’ve not already been at war… wake up!

I KNOW Canada was expecting this because frump first attacked frump's own nation...and the areas close to the Capitol. As he plays golf. I don't think he cares....when one gets older, they stop tryna negotiate and just start being who they truly are...in this case, a NARCISSIST LYING FELON who doesn't realize that when one goes to HeIl, stop, drop & roll doesn't work cuz you didn't know Jesus.

This is the time to set aside any dislike for Trudeau. I see him more capable of standing up to the Trump administration than the other candidates queuing up to replace him. Think about it, this is not the time to chastise him for past failures because all this does is play into the hands of the Trump clown show.

Venting his emotions in public—man, what a clown. Did he say anything relevant? It took him nine minutes just to say, 'Oh, Trump did what he said three weeks ago,' cry, and play the friend card. Why does he even have the right to speak when he was the president? Man, we’ve got to stop giving attention to that guy.
