Does Trump and his cronies WANT to destroy everything?

Trump is a disaster capitalist. Him and his cronies will be shorting various stocks and indexes which will be falling from which they can make millions of dollars on each trade.

These tariffs are not because of trade imbalance, fentanyl and other excuses. It's about destroying alliances that were built and enhanced for decades. Only Russia will benefit from this and add many around the world knew all along, Trump and his cronies and doing Russia's bidding.

I am embarrassed as an American. Trump and his cronies have falsely promised their constituents that he is for the people. NO he never was FOR the people, he is for himself. Our ignorant Americans believed his BS and now they will suffer for their stupidity. President Trudeau you are a gentleman and a brilliant human being. I wish I could vote you back in. Trump has to be taken down.

Guys, this is all a fantastic ruse. Trump and his rich cronies are deliberately trying to crash the market so they can buy stocks and assets at record-low prices and then cancel the tariffs in 6 months and cash in big time. Meanwhile, we, the American consumers, and our neighboring trading partners pay the price. Hear me now, and believe me later...

THIS IS ALL ON PURPOSE TO DAMAGE THE COUNTRY. \nTrump is dismantling the country to fulfill his promise to Putin. First he disrupted the government by firing millions indiscriminately. Then he alienates our allies around the world so America can no longer be trusted. If that isn’t enough he then tanks the economy. Now he is publicly aligning himself with Russia. Trump and his cronies are Russian assets and they are destroying this country before your eyes, on purpose. You would have to be a fool not to see it.

Correction: the US government didn't do this, trump and his cronies did it

I hope Trump supporters listen to this man!! HE is telling the truth that Trump and his cronies won't tell you!!

As an US resident, I am in no way in agreement with our government…..I hate the fact that our closest neighbors for centuries hate us. I am depressed every single day since Trump entered the White House the first time. Our former and greatest president allowed me a reprieve but now I am thinking about moving from this country due to my extreme depression. Our family helped build this country as we were here before the revolutionary war. I was expecting a nice retirement and Trump and his cronies are making that impossible by possibly stealing our social security that I was told was I would get back for the last 50 yrs. I certainly understand why other countries do not like us…….I do not even talk to my family anymore as I voted for the prosecutor and they voted for the felon.

It's sad we have such a incompetent bully as our president. Trump and his cronies are going to destroy our country.?\n\nHey MAGA don't cry when you can't afford basic items!!

Great speech Mr Trudeau and shame on our Felon Con Trump for those tarrifs that are only going to hurt our country and the people. The derranged Trump is looking out only for himself and his Billionaire cronies who donate to his campaigns ! The Donald Con Trump thinks he is still in the Apprentice. Poor fool?

Americans should be VERY ASHAMED AND DISGUSTED for voting Donald Duck Trump and his crony administration.

I was born and raised in the U.S., the grandson of Canadian immigrants. I stand with Canada and wholeheartedly support them. Trump is a Russian asset working with Putin to sabotage western economies. He needs to be stopped, along with all his Nazi cronies.

Luxembourg here. F*** Trump and his cronies. Americans ! Those of you who disagree need to go to the streets !! Now and massively.

As an American who was born here and live here for over 50 years, I am so ashamed of this government, the republican politicians and some of the democratic politicians. The MAGA cult is overwhelming our everyday lives in combination with Trump, Vance and Musk vast amounts of lies, deceit, disrespect for the low-middle class American families, cozying up to the fascist dictator Putin, turning your back on our best ally Canada by instigating these ridiculous tariffs, and a whole host of other atrocities that have occurred in the past few weeks. Let this sink in... in the past few weeks! What is it going to be like in a few months or by the end of this term? With the way it's going, we're going to be damned lucky that we're going to be here at all, otherwise Trump and Putin can rule over a nuclear decimated scorched earth. Americans that are already sick, tired and completely fed up with all of the grandiose shit-storm actions coming out of the White House, please do what you absolutely can to shout from the rooftops, we will not concede, we will not bow down and kiss the ring, we will not be bullied and we will not stand idly by and watch a narcissistic, misogynistic, blow-hard dictator-loving(Putin), felonious bully and all his butt-munching fuck-tard cronies burn this country to the ground. RESISTANCE!

Trump and his cronies are destroying the country with reckless abandon. The fools who voted for him and bidens failure to stop him are responsible. We are with you Canada ?? this is 100% trump and his cults doing.

Supporting Canada from the U.K, Trump and his vile cronies are out to cause carnage across the world , they are despicable.

As An American citizen I stand for righteous leadership and I stand with Canada, European allies and Mexico. Do what you have to do to protect your country your economy and your citizens. TRUMPSKI and his lap dog JD Vancekoff are ruining the United States of America!! They're not leaders, they're Russian assets, strongmen wannabe's and a scourge in the historical record of our nation. And all of the misled, under educated and misinformed folks who follow this man and his cult of personality have been lead astray by the propagandist on FOX News and right wing social channels and will pay for this just like the rest of us. Trump and his cronies are ONLY about enriching THEMSELVES and their friends and families. Not the working man and woman. Just the autocrats and oligarchs.

Anyone still backing Trump is either a delusional clown, seriously unwell, or trapped in a fantasy. Decades of American sacrifice—blood and sweat spilled across the world—wiped away by one clueless billionaire and his cronies, turning a superpower into their personal playground.

It's pure jealousy from Trump and his cronies. Canada always was and always will be a much better country than the US ever was or will be.

What a striking contrast between a real leader and someone who is only concerned with bilking an entire country for his own benefit. Follow the $$$. Somehow tRump is benefitting from the downturn in the stock market. I'm sure he and his cronies shorted and are reaping the benefits. I'm sure they sold at a high and will wait for the lowest low to get back in. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but this has to be the rub.

Canadians, I am with you. Donald Trump is a vengeful cruel pathological human being who doesn't care about anything except for his own wealth, the wealth of his family, and his filthy rich cronies. He has no intention of helping Americans with their day to day expenses. I apologize on behalf of our country. I did not vote for this man/child. Kudos to Trudeau for standing up to him. ???

As an American, I am in despair over the criminal actions of the Trump and his cronies. I wish Canada the very best in the future. I will always consider Canada and Canadians my friends. Bravo to you, Prime Minister Trudeau.

It seems that Trump and his circle of cronies are the only ones supporting this attack on Canada.

Perfectly said by Trudeau!!! Absolutely 100% the truth!!!\n\nDeep, deep shame on cruel, ignorant, constantly lying trump & his cronies!!!

Thank you Trump and your idiocratic and senseless tariffs because you have untied Canadians in a way that have not been seen in a while. Im so happy we're sticking to our plans and not be bullied. The whole fentanyl issue is an excuse. He doesnt give a sh*t about anyone but his billionare cronies. His incredibly pathetic. I echo our Prime Minister's sentiment and sorry America, we were forced to do so. And we know this is NOT ALL of America. God bless us

One disagreement Mr Trudeau: Trump is “very smart guy”? Nope. He certainly is “clever” which is what delineates smart from “criminal con man”. Clever is what he uses for his grift, with American citizens and the national stage as his target market, to line his pockets along with the pockets of his cronies, the ultra rich. The bright note is that there is a huge collective of Americans who see Trump for what he is. We are NOT supportive of any of this nonsense since 1/20/2025. Musk/Trump/Vance are an embarrassment we did not vote for. We stand with Ukraine, Canada, and Mexico who echo normal reason.

Many US citizens want to work with Canada! Eff Trump! Do what y'all need to do and we'll be working on getting that tyrant and his cronies out of office. I hope when this is all over we can be friends again and may it never happen again. Sometimes you need to slap sense into your friends and that is exactly what Canada is doing so thank you Canada.

Impeach Trump! Impeach Vance, remove their cronies from the White House! These people are working against American democracy and the people of the United States!

Trump and all of his cronies are garbage.

Evil trump and his cronies they are with Russia ?? we all see it we all smell it and we saw it coming this is a excuses from trump is all about to become a dictador and is all about Russia .hes a friend of dictators . Is time to get him out the White House impeach him now and Vance and Marco Rubio and the rest of republicans

Trump wants all the money to go to his billionaire cronies, we are all left in the dust.

Never been less proud to be an American. Hopefully we have hit rock bottom, but I am pretty sure Trump and cronies are not done raping and pillaging the country.

reason is trump and his crony felt betrayed or for whatever reason which is nothing todo with anyone but trump dumb dumb himself during his first term so now he already sold his soul to russian!

Well spoken, Prime Minister Trudeau!!! As a Canadian, I just cannot help myself for loathing anything American, just because of this one man, Donald Trump and his cronies.

One man thinking about his own country and his own people has Canada begging pleading whining about it...Boo hoo! Lazy Canadian Politicians. Corrupt Crony leaders benefitting their FAMILY FRIENDS and Friends of friends, never bothered to stand Canada on its own 2 feet! TRUDEAU and his Cabinet top that list of scoundrels. Doug Ford, the chubby pillsbury man follows next and CORRUPT PENSION HOGGER JAGMEET SELLOUT SINGH , corrupt Expensive Watch Lover comes next.\nAnd look at them crying now. What a shameful circus these rascals are putting up. So much so as asking TRUMP to be banned from Canada...Thats SELLOUT JAGMEET SINGH's 3rd world politics 101.\n\nPS I am a Canadian...and an embarrassed one at that.

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.

I thought this was factual reporting not propaganda fear mongering. You're making all immigrants out to be bad when only a small percentage are garngs and criminals, much like the citizens of the USA too. This channel seriously distorts the truth and panders to right wing extremism. \nThe Trump regime has brainwashed 77 million Americans. Maybe they will wake up when they see that his administration is DOGEing everything needed for citizens in order to give massive tax cuts to billionaires. Do you all not see this? You're being screwed of by a fascist megalomaniac and his cronies. Musk is cutting aid to hungry children and trying to manipulate to deregulate government and get more funding for himself to make himself even more rich. The richest man in the world does zero philanthropy! The US gov't has given him millions in subsidies.\nAnd blinded manipukated right wingers in the US call the people who actually see what is going on 'sheeple' and tell them to 'wake up'. How ironic.\nIf you're a working class citizen, this regime is fucking you over. How's the price of eggs now?

You could offer we Canadians all the money in the world, we would still be living in Canada, your gun toting citizens, your police forces that for at least 40 years have been stopping Canadians on your highways and taking money for trumped up charges, your new president and his cronies and your wonderful health care. So thanks but no thanks, we will remain here in the Best Country in the World and yes we are the best. So when you get fed up with all the bad stuff in your country, you are more than welcome to join us over here

We are proud to have Prime Minister Trudeau lead the charge against the bombastic Trump trade war. It is unlikely that our MAGA Conservative leader, Pierre Poilieve, currently supported by Elon Muskrat and many of Trump's cronies, could ever deal with a trade war that would defend Canada.

Anti-Trump is Pro-American. This corrupt president is against the people. Tariffs combined with his other tax cuts are a plot to shift more tax burden off his oligarch cronies and onto the poor and middle class despite the out-of-control wealth inequality destroying our democracy. Don't forget that he never closed tax loopholes (carried interest for example) exploited by the rich like he promised. He wants to distract while he robs and enslaves us. It is sad that it has come to this. I just ask the allies of the American people to please look for ways to specifically punish the oligarchs and politicians responsible rather than the many American people who are on your side.

This woman doesn’t understand that Trump and his cronies do not differentiate between legal and and illegal immigrants. To him, all Latinos (who he has repeatedly branded as criminals and rapists) are going to be deported. The Latino people who voted for him, are beyond ridiculous, because literally they voted for the illusion of privilege over rights.

Why wasn't all of this said prior to the elections CNN you guys are the news outlet of the world supposedly why can't you guys report about all of this factually before elections instead of having Donald Trump and his cronies makeup lies about the amount of people coming across the borders everyday

Americans don’t give a shi+ what the Mexican president says! They nor the Biden administration have done a damn thing to control the problems we’ve had with the border crossing. Stick it to them financially and they’ll cooperate! We’re fed up with Biden and his cronies. They should be tried and convicted for every crime these illegals have committed in our country! Sick ‘em President Trump ?

She doesn’t have a care about anyone but herself, delusional woman, doesn’t she know that Trump and his cronies would send her back too 1st chance they got!!

Say goodbye, people. Trump LIED and you will be deported. Trump and his cronies think all immigrants are criminals and are here illegally… you asked for it by voting for him. ??‍♀️

Americans were angry about inflation. But everything Trump and his cronies plan is inflationary: \n- reducing the workforce through deportation\n- protectionism\n- tariffs on everything\n- tax cuts\n\nThis will be interesting to watch.

What's wrong with you people. Trump and his mega cronies said they're going to rip families apart and they're going to deport them all. Old young children whatever they don't care. They believe they have a mandate. Go ahead keep having your little news discussions like it's just no big deal. The media better wake up and start telling the people what it's going to be like, you already blew it pre-election.

Trump and his cronies are going to loot our economy. Then blame biden, obama, and clinton for the crash. And their cult will eat it up.

Yeah right. Trump’s cronies keep talking about these criminals. Be calm.
