Evil Trump destroying our nation with his stupid tariffs and sending the usa into a recession.

It's good to hear someone speak truth and call out trumps damages, trump will drive the United States straight into the worst recession we have ever had.

Recession by the 4th of July???

Thanks Trump thanks for being stupid. Now you're stupidity will definitely put us in a recession.

Unfortunately, the American people are bunch of dumb-asses who voted for this Village Idiot. He has manage to bring an economic growth to a devastating halt and possible recession.

Our dumb PM Trudeau is punishing Canadians by adding tarrifs to US products they need for their businesses and not given them time to find alternative canadian sources. He is not as smart as premier Doug Ford who is just adding surtaxes to products sold to US from Canada. He doesn't care if he did he would end poroguing of parliament and increase spending on military and border protection on all sides of our country he says that Trump is going to cause a recession in Canada we already have on caused by 9 years of Liberal federal government backed by NDP leader Jagmeet Singh.

you can quote me in a couple months as you may wish... Trump and Putin WANT a Recession!!!

What a fantastic speech. Donald Bone Spurs... You are very dumb. And your greed is leading your country, and others, into recession.\n\nDon't buy American!!

And the recession begins, hey MAGA supporters! Are we great yet?

TRUMP is creating not a recession he's creating a bloody depression ......

Guy supporting illegal aliens and drugs. Welcome to recession Canada.

My Canadian health products I use for my colon has gone up 50% today. Unemployed, prices high at grocery store and my stock investments I use to survive and pay my bills tanked as market has reached bottom. Thanks to Trump we Americans will go on a recession and a depression soon.

This is what the ignorance of America MAGA voters wanted and now their ignorance and stupidity will bite them like never before. They learn nothing from Trump last failures and gave him another shot at fooling them again. This is on them for recession this Buffoon is about to put them through

Very disrespectful speach. Calling trump dumb and calling him donald. This pipsqueek leader will harm his own economy. U.S can absorb the impact. Canada will go into recession

LOL...\n\nIn Canada... we have someone translate the French part.. He may be saying something new in the French part. \n\nYou guys can't afford a translator? Lol. The recessions already hit!

Seeing it clearly now, Trump is doing this to kneecap canadian businesses so american billionaires can come in and buy them which in a recession economy will be super easy

He is totally correct in what he said. Look for job losses, inflation, and prices so high you don't buy what you used to , your fruit from Mexico will rise by 25 per cent also , next thing will be recession,

This summer will be in the biggest recession just a great depression and it’ll be due to the Trump’s and the Trumper’s the price is a good goods will be astronomical. Thank you Republicans.

I am American and love Canada they are so kind every time I go there, this idiot is about to lead us right into a recession.

This summer will be in the biggest recession just a great depression and it’ll be due to the Trump’s and the Trumper’s the price is a good goods will be astronomical. Thank you Republicans.

Shame on CNN supporting 51st state (namely Canada). They will end up being in recession! Stop fentanyl or you will face consequences!

RECESSION Is UNDERWAY BECAUSE Of TARIFFS ????

Bad for Canada. Bad for America. Bad for the world. The question is whether the majority of MAGAs abandon Trump after a recession begins because of Trump's policies. I'm not sure. Maybe? For sure, they'll try to blame Biden. And some just want Trump to fight the culture war and are willing to accept the consequences of an economic downturn so long as trans people are restricted on the bathroom they can use. Some are rich enough that they wouldn't be affected by a recession. As if world events weren't already volatile enough.

Wow, articulate strong talk, no lies, no propaganda, no bluster, none of the total and complete unrelenting bullshit we have endure on a daily basis from the sociopathic delusional asshole that currently occupies the White House. It should be no surprise that our leadership chooses to blame all of our problems on someone else, because that's exactly what they do every day. We have a drug problem, it's because of Canada and Mexico. We have an immigration problem, likewise Mexico and Canada. We have a deficit problem, that's because of the EU and NATO. Our problem is our government, specifically Republicans who won't accept the simple truth: you want to solve problems you have be disciplined and smart. You have to spend money to fix your problems instead of blaming some else and trying to get them to pay for it. You pay to solve your problems instead of giving huge tax cuts to people who don't need them. You stop lying to your people. You want to change the trade imbalance? Build products that other countries want at a price that makes sense. The EU has no laws that prevent American car manufacturers from selling their cars in Europe. American car companies make shitty cars. They make cars that are too big, that don't make sense for European where streets can be very small and gas is very expensive. The US manufacturers don't make a single small car in thos country that can compete with European cars. US agricultural products are laced with poisonous chemicals that are outlawed in the EU because they kill people. Our governmeent doesn't give a shit about that because to grow healthy food means you have to cut profits, almighty dollars, instead of grow things that the rest of the world will accept. We have an idiot for president who thinks he knows more than anyone else and an idiot party that won't tell him the truth. This is going to cost us big time. We are going into recession, probably a long one because we don't have real leaders and the president on his best day is nothing more than a reality TV personality, and not a very entertaining one at that.

Governments are always the winners in trade wars. Hyper inflation and recession are great governments.

MAGA Trumpers voted for a recession 100 times worse then anything Biden did?

And so the recession begins, nice job, voters, prices are going up, stock market, down, how do you like him now???

A world recession is what we need to defeat the Russians, biden did not know how to do this except raise the interest rates. Maybe this is some kind of covert attack.

What a feast for billionaires to buy up failing businesses on a dime. Artificial recession.

So this dude was charging us for our imports but we can charge him. Canada is like the most protectionist partner. Canadas economy won't be able to handle this and they will fold and renegotiate and deal. His economy will slip into recession.

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 ??

As an American I am so scared. I didn’t vote for this. I am ashamed of everyone who did. I am already facing a layoff as a federal worker and now prepared for a recession. I am SO SCARED

Get ready for a recession and you have no one to blame but yourself and TRUMP!!!

Inflation is not going up idiot what we going to have is a big recession.

trump is becoming mega rich whilst he kills the American market and send the nation into recession with high inflation. it really is time for Americans to remove trump from office...before he starts WWIII

thanks to these assholes, the whole world is going to suffer due to upcoming recession... is history going to repeat?

Trump and MAGA want canada and they believe they can do this by causing a recession. Meanwhile trump is negotiating with Putin to supply the raw materials canada was suppliyng.

This trade war has zero justification in reality. It will only end up hurting consumers on both sides of the border and drive the economy into a recession. Trump is NOT a smart man, he just thinks he is. ?

Just wild. USA is threatening Canada (and American citizens) with job loss, economic decline, and recession. For what reason? \n\nAt the same time, they are sitting alongside Russia trying to come up a peace deal that they can force on Ukraine, cutting healthcare for the citizens and blaming dwarves for plane crashes.\n\nWe’ve legalized marijuana up here so let me just have a reality check.. Is this real?

Huffing and puffing. They should honestly tell Canadians what the Bank of Canada governor said. Canadians should brace for impact for a recession the likes of which they have not seen. Get ready with your 6 month salary savings and scaling down on everything. Good to act tough till it starts biting home like the carbon tax

Trump has been in office less than 2 months and has already ruined the economies of 3 countries. ?Good job America. You elected a moron as POTUS. Enjoy your incoming recession. You got what you voted for. A lunatic failed felon. Sad it effects all who did not vote for him.

You could have just told Trump that you would secure the borders and stop the flow of Fentanyl. But no, enjoy the recession Trudeau.

This will backfire on Mr Trump this will lead to rising prices and a recession that’s already looming…what a way to go AMERIKA…

Trump is more supportive of Putin than of the free world. We don’t want this either. Trump is going to create a worldwide recession. Who does that benefit? No one. Trump is more willing to support Putin than our allies. For someone who’s supposed to be bright; he’s not demonstrating anything but incompetence.

Has nothing to do with fent, so stop rehashing this moronic rhetoric. Has everything to with expediting a recession. \n\nAll Canada has to do is reroute all the potash and heavy crude. It's over in 6 months.

Seems like trump wants to destroy America. Prepare for a long and difficult recession.

Prices are already soaring. Consumer confidence in the dumpster. The US economy is in recession.

What a disgraceful embarrassment Trump and his cronies are to America. May be next year when unemployment is through the roof and America is in deep recession MEGA supporters will realise they have been conned.

Did it ever occur to Canadians that if governments could create wealth there would never be recessions?

43% of GenZ want to become the 51st state. A significantly higher figure want to move to the US.\nLets be clear here, the loyalty is only to the Canadian people right now. There is absolutely ZERO loyalty over this colonial puppet state that only became a thing in the 1980's, and has utterly failed its population for the past DECADE.\nThey (quite litterally I may add) would rather see us OD on the streets than have a 3% reduction in housing. \nEvery 25 year old I know, are living with their parents despite having 6 figure jobs.\n\nWe Canadians beat our chest and act hard when the US says this, but we turn a blind eye to Chinese/Indian/Iranian foreign influence and extrajudicial killings. The fact our own people are threatened and killed by foreign governments is insane. But the DOUBLE STANDARD we have in being everybodys doormat while rejecting integration with the US, is insane. \n\nWe litterally have avoided MULTIPLE recessions because the US has bailed us out time and time again. notably in 2021. Were in the G7 only because of the US.\nOur GDP also litterally collapsed in 2015, and were only drudging on by because the US helped us along. They dont want to do that anymore.\n\nCanada is dead, and our economy is dead. I have no loyalty to a government that wants me either dead or a slave to make money for BOOMERS. \nI would be a BOOTLICKER if I was to support the Canadian government.
