Build a wall between USA and Canada and get Trump to pay for it

These Trump tariffs are STUPID! YEAH LETS GIVE MEXICO N CANADA OUR FRIENDS 25% BUT ONLY CHARGE CHINA 10% PATHETIC! REVERSE THE TARIFFS NOW! AND HELP UKRAINE FINISH THIS WAR THE TIME TO STOP ARMING THEM WAS THE BEGINNING NOT NOW WE WILL PAY DEARLY FOR NOT SAVING UKRAINE IT WILL COST US 200 X TIMES MORE IN THE LONG RUN ! MARK MY WORDS

How can he be speaking directly to president Trump? I don’t see Trump? Trump’s not crying. Who’s whining? Who’s crying? Who’s going to start paying their fair share? Who’s going to stop gaming the US? Lots of questions.

Kudos to the PM Trudeau for speaking out against Trump tariffs. Mr. Trudeau sees what the Trump voters fail to see prior to the elections. Trump is using the excuse of stopping drugs coming into the country. When in reality his tariffs will only benefit corporations. These tariffs will be passed down to the consumers who will pay for them. If everyone who voted for Trump weren't deaf and blind we would not have to now worry more about inflation and higher prices. All those who blamed Biden for increased prices should have looked back at the pandemic that Trump failed to acknowledge.

It was not America. It was Trump and his gang. They must be stopped. Unfortunately, we are going to be hurt. Bad. \nGet ready to pay for a quarter pound of flower for a full day of work. ?

Trump don't care He don't care about that. That's just the Trojan-horse. So you don't pay attention of what he's doing. He's just hurting, he's gonna hurt. The Americans first and definitely never going to get Canada. Because if we gotta do World War 3. Come on, we'll play the game. We'll put our cards on the table. Trump

I honestly believe Trump wants these tariffs because the 25% tariff will go directly into government coffers and he needs money to cover the huge tax cuts he gave his cronies and the wealthy. Unfortunately, Americans will be paying this 25% tax. No winners on either side.

Trump is the best and Trump will be great for America, he will increase Tariff, make everything cheap for USA while make the world PAY, and Trump will cut down prices in housing & groceries! MAGAforLife!

I live by the Canadian border. It is NOT easy to cross. Trump is lying and just trying to make himself look good even knowing tht Canada is willing to be a partner in combating illegal drugs. He wanted to get his court problems etc off his table. He had to get elected. And ELON helped that. Without Elon the shadow president he wouldn't have. Hell Elon had to pay people to vote for him.

Follow the $$$ trail between Trump & Russia. Also between Elon & Trump. Qui pro quo...he who pays the piper, plays the tune.

Trump and Vance only care about the rich people... This is who you voted for for at least the next 4 years.. total scumbags!! Enjoy it.. and now we all pay the price for it

Trump has placed himself in a corner. He's completely incompetent. Because he is a bully and thinks people will roll over, he is going to look weak when he has to roll them back. When Canada cuts off the water, car parts, etc. and people start losing jobs such as car manufacturing, there will be a price to pay. It won't be an end to MAGA, but if he lets this go on for too long, he will never come back from it.

Trump aims to make money with the tariffs so he can maybe pay down some of the American deficit. Right after that Trump will reduce his and business friends taxes. Trump only wants to reduce his taxes. It was never about drugs or people crossing the border.\nThe tariffs are nothing but TRUMP BS!!!

we already praticaly give you our gaz shit we pay more than you and it's our gaz. we also sell very cheap electricity. wayyyyyyy to cheap. and wood and water. and we give you billions every year for floods, tornados, fires in aid. Trump doesnt talk about that tho does he?

If you watch CNN ? you are part of the problem LOL check on WHO pays them to spin the narrative!\n\nWar? Dictator ? Those are some strong and exaggerated words. As a diplomat he should know better ? just protect the borders like a good neighbor and you won’t have any issues … I think the US will be ok. \n\nCanada ?? has been an open border, ask all your DoorDash and Uber drivers in the US where they are coming from !!!! They all say Canada… Indians, Turkish, Palestine, Hispanics… quit lying ?\n\nJust because he speaks gently doesn’t mean he ain’t full of ?\n\n“Donald” uhmm President Trump .. homeboy shows little respect … for the president the entire country chose.

I love all of the trump supporters or bots telling us to ‘go move to Canada’ or ‘leave, then,’ not realizing that if we did, this country wouldn’t be able to sustain itself, and fall faster than their heads could spin\n\nThat level of foresight and intellect tells us exactly why they thought trump would save the economy, lol\n\nWhy do you think they went after Roe, and keep telling us to breed? They need more people paying taxes so that the rich don’t have to: they want serfs\n\nAre the libs owned yet? Are we owned? lol

Trudeau, you should be the president of the United States of America. We will send Trump to canada. We are ready to pay 100% Tariff exporting Trump to canada?

Trump doing the right thing to do no jobs for American how they will pay bill

Trudeau making a strong case, but will Trump even listen? This situation is a mess, and everyday people will be the ones paying the price

Trump gonna bankrupt this country and guess who going to pay for it.....we the American people...

Canadians, don't want it, you want that tray war because top your news Trudeau. In Ukraine, we're raping us Canadians. What do carbon tax instead? You should work with Trump and tried to make deals. Didn't you go behind his back and pop your nose? Enter Ukraine and then called Putin. Bad Putin isn't bad. I think who is bad is Trudel. That is a dictator and we know that because his dad was El. Truro. You self are a dictator also, because when you would work with Canadians and leave your news out of Ukraine, then work with Trump. We wouldn't have this, but Trump sees you pop your news into Ukraine. Will your news not belong? That's why Trump? It's punishing us the soul. You stop you gonna poke your nose in Ukraine? You gonna pay for it, are we Canadians? Gonna pay for that.

Trump owes the Russian mob so much money and now it’s time for him to pay them back. How? Stealing from the taxpayers. If not for the Russian mob, he would have been extremely poor. That’s a testament to him being a terrible business man.

This is embarrassing. Trump is ruining America and our democracy. Can't wait to start paying more for everything, thanks MAGA!! F***ing idiots.

I am a conservative and I admit that Donald Trump's tariffs will have a negative impact on Americans. If you think businesses are going to pay for the increased cost of importing and are not going to scale back their labor forces are raise prices you don't have an understanding of business and finance. The whole purpose of going into business is to maximize profit therefore they are going to offset the costs by raising prices on goods for Americans and vice versa. This is a trade war. Thanks.

You would think it would be up to America to secure it's own border. The richest country in the world and they want Mexico to pay for it. Talk about entitled trump.

Trump is purposely destroying our country as we know it to pay back Putin for helping him win the election, keeping trump out of jail, and making available our coffers as trumps personal piggy bank. Trump is in bed with Putin. This is planned. Trump is a traitor and so are the people he has put in place in our government. I am heart broken but not about to give up.

Trump tells you pay or fuck o ff

We gave trump the mandate, which means we support his decisions. Canadians are not paying our taxes.

Stupidity is more dangerous than evil. Look at history. A country that loses a war does not lose because it is less evil but because its people elected a foolish leader, and they have paid the price in blood. America will pay the price—not with Trump's blood, but with the sweat and toil of ordinary citizens.

I agreed with everything Trudeau said, except when he said Trump is a very smart person. Stupid is what stupid does. Trump does stupid like no other. This is Canada's time to shine. We need our pipelines flowing to both the East and West coasts. It is time for Canadians to invest in Canada and cut our dependence on U.S. trade.\nAmericans need to start understanding, it is Americans who pay the tariffs. They are just a tax. It has nothing to do with the border, or drugs, or migration. This is a tax on the working class and the poor so the rich can continue to get 5 TRILLION dollars in tax cuts.

Yet Canada hates him right now, Just as much as all of you hate Trump. Trump never said he sided with Russia and I really wish all of you dimwits would donate your personal money, or personally volunteer to step on the front lines. They have no manpower and y'all are idiots to think that it makes sense to give a country backing after they're the ones who threaten to join NATO and clearly most of y'all don't even know that NATO started this bullshit by going against their promises to Russia and they have added eight former Soviet countries to their union. At this point I'm okay with giving half of the US to the libtards So you guys can pay taxes to fund every other country but your own. Yuck.

Donald Trump is one heck of a unifier....will his gamble pay off?? Who knows!!!!! Find out next time on USA's Make it or Break it ?

Mr president Canada, u need to pay for what u get! Trump is doing right things for the American people. You just wanna get all and at the same time u complain a lot. The game is win win… you can’t come the front to fight with Russia but you encourage the canadian people to fight for u?

Bunch loser mad that they have to pay no more my nice guy let’s go trump 2025

trump has declared war on the world . . .lets make him pay . . .BIG TIME . . well done Canada .

It takes a lot to piss off a country like Canada, which is saying something. I don't fault the Canadian and Mexican governments for standing up for their people. It's just a damn shame that regular Canadians, Americans, and Mexicans will pay the price of the trade war started by President Trump. Why we're taking aim at our ally nations and not putting tariffs on Russian goods says it all.

“ smart”?! Don’t agree with that PM. Stop trying to play nice . Trump has filed for Chapter 11 plenty of times, he’s dubbed people from fake plans such as the “ school” he made up. He’s owed people money and have always hid behind his lawyers. Trump doesn’t care about us average Joe Americans. Trump’s plan with these tariffs are to cover the cost that he’ll give his corporate billionaire buddies another tax cut . Let’s not forget that he gaved the biggest corporate tax cut on American history during his 1st term and preparing another one this time around, but he’ll do it when the animosity calms down. He’s crooked as f***. And those who believe in him are completely delusional. He doesn’t pay a penny in taxes like his buddies.

I stand for the citizens of Canada, but this man has RUINED your country…Trump is right! Canada has benefited from the US financially while we have payed the brunt of most of the costs.

I’m European and what Trump is doing is really going to hurt USA the most. \nCause he is putting tariffs on so many. The pain for the countries that get tariffs put on them gets spread out, but for USA it gets to take the blows from all of them who retaliate back. It’s mentality insanity.\nAmericans will struggle the most from this.\nI hope you guys wake up and understand what is going on. \nDon’t believe the lies you hear from Trump. We don’t pay your tariffs, you do!\nInflation will also run amok because of this.

In conclusion:\n- Trump closes the debt to GDP gap letting the people pay tarrifs \n- Buy cheap earth minerals in Ukraine instead of Canada \n\nUncle Sam loves Uncle Sam

this clown really thinks he could make the US pay. Trump is so right

Thoses maga clowns who support Trump like paying high cost for everything don't worry about them lol...

Working Canadians support Trump. All the loud mouths that take 25 years to pay off their mortgage talking shit about a man thats made it big several times hahaha the same uneducated liberal followers that are agreeing with the prime minister that ruined Canada and helped fund the killing in both Ukraine and Palestine. Pathetic! Clown trying to pin Trumps tarifs that just started today for the mess hes caused..no wonder 80% of Canadians are embarrassed but the comments here show the other 20%

I still remember when canadian political stallions called Trump names. This is pay back.

So he's so upset that Trump's tariffs will cause inflation in the US and hurt US consumers, that he decides to penalize his own people with tariffs, making them pay higher prices and thereby cause inflation in Canada?? LOL, this proves yet again that the left has no clue when it comes to economics .

Liberals supported the attempted assassination of Trump. They have persecuted him in the courts and tried twice to impeach him. They've attacked his family, including his wife and son.\n\nLiberals have left the American border open to Illegals, Drugs and Human Trafficking that Americans pay for in housing, feeding, law enforcement and the fraudulent aid programs that finance them\n\nTrump is retaliating by uncovering and exposing all of it! If he's targeting the Commonwealth of Britain, known as Canada, then it could also be tied to the Epstein Investigations and release of names that is coming.\n\nThis is not over. More to come?

The US isn't launching a trade war against anyone. We are closing up shop and are getting ready to take care of our own. There is a massive difference. We cannot be expected to continue supporting other countries economies and defense obligations, when we have 2 generations of working class citizens unable to afford a home or have children. We have entire countries we could fill with the homeless and incarcerated, and veterans who see little to no positive treatment or respect within the job market. Things are already very very bad here in the states. I don't think many Americans realize how bad the economy is. Tariffs will force US companies to reduce the outsourcing of jobs, and force other countries who are over-reliant on trade from the States, to cultivate their own self-sufficiency. This may seem hypocritical when it comes to China, but that isn't a problem you can solve overnight. \n\nTo make it clear, Americans are going to suffer in the wake of this tariff decision, but that is the price we pay to force ourselves to change. We have made ourselves into a very weak country because of overreliance on other countries trade, and other countries overreliance on our intelligence, infrastructure, medical advancements, technological advancements, and defense capabilities. The american consumer and taxpayer front the bills for all of this, and they are suffering. This isn't a war on the rest of the world. It us telling everyone else that we can no longer be relied upon because we are weak. \n\nI didnt' even vote Trump the first two times he ran. But things have now gotten so bad that I was forced into voting for him this time. Why? Because he's a bull in a china shop. I expect him to tear every damn thing apart he can within our government. I want everything destroyed so it can be rebuilt by people who aren't complacent.

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.

Ca ada and mexicoare just crying all bc they have to pay to usz fif all they produced look you all idiots leaders from Canada and Mexico Trump it's not playing games or gi en nothing free to one no what don't you both leaders mexican n Canadian and the rest that have been criying take it or leave it now that usa leader step on your heals please stop.criying and pay your share to the USA CITIZENS

Way to go Canada Trump deserves that and I’m willing to see Trump look like the true idiot he is! Voters made the mistake of putting the Orange Turd in office. My taxes should go to Ukraine a country who didn’t ask for more hardship and for millionaires to pay just $720 in 2023 taxes I don’t want to support a fool.
