I love Canadian people I do not like your leader. He sounds righteous today. Make no mistake of the Skeltons this man has. I do support President Trumps decision we neen to make changes for our country as do you guys have to do. Better days are coming us all things will get rough for a while. Loll to your leader to do his part for your country. He needs to get creative business wise instead of putting blame. Why is your leader looking to fight he should be thinking about how to solve problems and create business. I love Canadians We will get through this. Bucket up thing will get rough for all of us we all have to make changes. We believe in Donald Trunp and the many men and woman that have stepped up to change this country. May God be with us all may we get thought rough times may these wars come to and end.

It only took Trump less than a month to destroy our coward of a government!! THE ONLY thing Trump so called promised was to lower cost/eggs smh lol..so stupid ppl voted for him!! Now, most of them are crying!!! Stupidity of them to really think this man cared lol lol...Trump is/ will be running this country just like a BUSINESS!! Just like Putin does Russia. In his first election Putin tried to help Trump win, but it didn't go as planned . Now, Musk helped him win this election by way of tech support. So, now Trump owes Musk AND still owes Putin. Trump is paying off his debts by canceling America, OUT!!

What's more disturbing than the actions of trump (Putin's puppy) is the vast number of Americans who support him. Ronald Reagan will be turning over in his grave thinking that the Republicans have gone Commie

Is the world having a problem with the US having a strong leader? I think so! The US is no longer taking your unfairness and your grifter expectations toward us. For example, we do 68% of the monetary support of NATO. Let that sink in. Also, we have billions of dollars of a trade deficit with Canada. These leaders of other countries just can not understand why we will no longer be their piggy bank. In conclusion, my son has lived and traveled in Europe. I learned a lot just from his experiences in general. I love my president, Trump!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I have felt blessed to be an American all my life.

The Trump supporters I know either have no clue what he’s doing, or they believe that he’s just bargaining for better deals because they think America is getting screwed by our allies. This is all nonsense of course. \n\nThe American right has gone through ten years of brainwashing by conservative media outlets, and they really believe Trump will somehow bring back the America from 60+ years ago. They are in a cult, and they may double down on their fanaticism with these retaliatory tariffs.\n\nI watched sanity be replaced with complete craziness, and I do not know how we can finally get these people to realize they were misled.

You all around the world, making the mistake of siding with foolish leaders who's own public do not support them against Donald Trump--when the majority of Americans do--will feal the wrath of every single American, who is sick of being bullied by you. We do not have to pay your bills. We do not have to keep your country safe. Keep running your mouth, CNN and dividing this country and the world with your lies. Everyone knows Zelenskyy was disrespectful to Biden and Trump and Vance--who we owe nothing to. Ukraine is not an ally of ours. Ukraine will never be allowed to NATO. And all of you can enjoy the tariffs. We don't need you we don't model our behavior after you. You'll never be America. You will never understand what it means to be American. You will never come into our Oval Office and disrespect our president, Democrat, or Republican and get away with it. Shame on you for your lies! You know better but you get paid well. This is why your ratings are in the tank and only those lacking any logical critical thinking still watch you.

I support Canada ??! Trump is destroying everything like he did with his casinos. How will any of this make America Great? It doesn’t. And Republicans are equally responsible for ALL that is happening. Do they honestly think we Americans will accept what is happening? Think again. We have the ballot box and will use it.

The tariffs make sense from the position of trump being an ally with putin. trump is punishing countries that have supported Ukraine, thinking that if he weakens these countries with tarrifs, these same countries will turn inward and discontinue their support of Ukraine. I wonder how much putin has offered to pay trump if trump can strong arm Ukraine into ending the war, leaving russia with land stolen from Ukraine. Something stinks of corruption here.\nThank you for speaking from a place of power and truth Prime Minister Trudeau.

Canada and Mexico are not responsible for the people in the US who chose to use drugs. In fact, it's the United States job to keep illegal drugs and immigrants out of the US and they are doing a poor job of it and need someone else to blame. Mexico could retaliate in a way that could flood the US with illegal drugs and immigrants and refuse to repatriate its citizens back into Mexico. The rest of Central and South America could do the same in support of Mexico. They need to get Trump out of office before he ruins America.\nI remember the press conference with the USA (Trump), Canada and Mexico when signing the new trade agreement during Trump last time in office. Trump proudly stated that this is the greatest agreement in the history of the United States. Last week he wanted to know who in the US agreed to the terrible trade agreement. He is losing his mind and cognitive function is deteriorating at a rapid rate. Re-negotiating contracts after the work is complete is how Trump ran his businesses. He has bankrupted many small businesses by not paying them knowing that they do not have the money to go to court. He is only rich because of daddy's money otherwise he would have never survived his many bankruptcies. Thats why no one will loan him money. I can't wait until he screws over the government of Saudi Arabia with one of his shady business deals. Anyone remember what happened to Khashoggi for just authoring a bad article on Saudi's Leaders. What do you think will happen to Trump for monetarily screwing them over?

Nothing Trump does makes sense. He’s an utter embarrassment. He’s making our country look like a backwards, oppressive, “pile of garbage”. If any MAGA bothered to research is life back to the 70’s and 80’s they’d find Trump was NEVER good at business. He was good at running them into the ground. He hasn’t a republican cell in his body. He doesn’t care which party or what ideology anyone is, so long as they’re naive and ignorant enough to buy his lies and bullshit. It’s just all about Trump. Everything he’s doing is contrary to making America great. Ironic that there are many so-called Christians who support him, when he fits the biblical description of the Antichrist a bit too well. It’ll take decades to restore America’s standing in the world, because that narcissistic, bloated, power-hungry, piece of shit wants to keep attention centered on him. He’s doing all he can to keep us stupid, and brainwashed, because anyone who’s intelligent, and has any level of critical thinking poses a threat. When will the orange Kool aid wear off?…and btw, I’m not a liberal. I’m not a democrat. I’m rational.

I stand with Canada, Trump and Vance think they have our support, but thats just all the Russian bots talking. No way I'm fighting for Trumps administration!

US Army vet concerned about Putin's support for Iranian nukes and support for North Korean missile programs. It's like Trump is advocating that. Who does he think they are targeting? He doesn't know Putin any more than Bush did. Fools.

Support for Canadians and Americans opposing Trump. ❤ As Polish, I think it'd be awesome for Canada to join EU or for EU and Canada to create some other sort of alliance.

In my family, the non-veterans are the most ardent supporters of this bully; I am a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and I think Trump is an embarrasment and a danger to our world.

Sigh ? … American here, I didn’t vote for him. Canada stay strong, I support you standing up for yourself and support you standing up to a bully. Honestly I’m just baffled by everything that keeps happening. It’s only been a month and I wonder what the next 4 years will look like. I don’t know what to do. I voted, that was my bit of voice, but the majority apparently wanted this. They made excuses for him, over and over again, and now we all have to suffer the consequences. He always told us who he was, so I don’t want to hear excuses if you voted for him! I’m pissed off, as well as sad.\nUkraine, my prays go out to you. The way your president was treated in the White House was abominable. Please know not all Americans are delusional enough to think what The Trump Dump did was ok in any way. Now we all just have to survive this shit storm as best we can, and stand up where, and when we are able.

Question for CNN do you think trump will send troups to Russia to support putin ?

man, just living to survive is hard enough for many people even for min wage earners and now this. The point? I think its ego from trump. Dont get me wrong I actually support some of trump policies but this is spiraling out of control. Ukraine, Allies turned enemies wtf.

Unfortunately, in this speech, all J. Trudeau has shown is that Canada can be forced to implement irrational and costly programs (fentanyl/border security) while otherwise listing off every reason the United States has for annexing Canada. Canadian vulnerability is on full display and there are going to be plenty of famous ex-pats and wealthy citizens, who are already silent, and will soon be quietly, then vocally, supporting it. The Trump administration doesn't think Canada is a legitimate country and unlike Mexico, they feel it can absorb its demographic easily. This is how Anschluss works.

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

I don't think that Trump is a very good president. As a matter of fact, I think he is downright terrible. The evidence to support this mounts every day.

Very good summary. I will add that our I know you wanted to be concise and you nailed it. For anyone who is curious about how our politics make everything worse for us federally, let me explain it in a short time.\n\nTrudeau as of the day of this video, March 3, 2025, is STILL the PM. He said he WOULD resign once a new leader was picked through a democratic process. Right now, he's basically just doing photo ops in Ukraine, UK and anywhere else on our dime because Parliament is prorogued and the party in power, Liberal, is having a leadership race. So, while he may resign within the week once that leadership race is done, he's still technically in charge.\n\nWhat makes that race and the PM's prorogation so bad is that we're in the middle of a crisis - several actually - caused in part directly by Trudeau and his Liberals (and the NDP supporting them). The latest would be Trump's tariffs starting today, March 4, 2025. Trudeau always disappears during a crisis, leaving us to fend for ourselves - (1) COVID, he was at the cottage using every excuse not to be accountable for anything or using unconstitutional powers to crush a protest he didn't know how to handle, (2) Chinese spies, he's ignoring our intelligence service, (3) federal worker strike, he's in NYC at some gala.... I could go on but there's a reason we're hurting so bad.\n\nWe have zero federal leadership, and a federal government that makes things worse for us with things like: over-regulation, subsidizing media to keep us misinformed, nerfing select natural resource sectors but favoring others (oil and gas suffer, while coal is fine... probably because we sell it to China, but I digress), letting criminal out of jail, uncontrolled immigration, passing policies like the FHSA that drive home prices higher and higher, and of course, more and more taxes. I could go on about the billions in taxpayers' money the government blows - it's like a black hole - or the fact that MPs keep getting raises - April 1 is their fifth since COVID - and most federal and government employees are all getting raises at a time when the rest of us are learning to get by with less and less because we're taxed so much and housing, groceries, etc. are so unaffordable.\n\nI have applied for US citizenship. I want to stick around to fix Canada, but I think it's too far gone. We have too many socialists/communists in power and they're not getting voted out any time soon. It's been fun Canada, it's been fun.

Ummmm, maybe do some homework, Cash, or stop watching Fox News. Fewer then 2% of illegal immigrants cross the Canadian border into the US. As for fentanyl, your primary sources are Mexico, China and India with Canada so low down the list of sources we don't even register on the charts. Less then 1% (t's actually about 0.2%) of your fentanyl supply comes from Canada to the US. In fact, the reality is that far, far, far more migrants, fentanyl and--worse--illegal guns, cross FROM the US INTO Canada. On the other hand, you get 60% of your crude oil from us and in some areas of the US, 90% of the houses are constructed with Canadian soft wood. Don't get me started on the water!! Sensationalizing Trump disinformation is only going to fuel the very stupid decisions coming out of your White House right now. Far better you all take a step back, take a deep breath and learn how to use some critical thinking to fix what are truly the problems in America: the entire Trump administration and all of its supporters for a start, gun violence, fear, poor education, the right wing agenda, removal of social supports, justice and genuine human rights, just to name a few. Rome (the US) is burning and Trump is standing on the hill, playing his fiddle and it ain't migrants who are adding the fuel...

She supports Trump because she thinks she is protected

Trump > Own Flesh and blood… even if you are a Trump supporter, you really have to take a step back and think about this.

They supported Trump thinking he was only going to screw over the Hispanics... Now they regret it.

Firstpost does not know the illegals are from 192 countries, of all skin color and ethnicities just like the U.S.\n\nI am thinking this video post at YouTube is deliberately inflammatory meddling in U.S. internal affairs.\n\nBiden administration deliberately worked to economically destroy the U.S. His own motivation could be limited to his criminal enterprise, nevertheless it is what he and his administration did.\n\nIn fact, he spent as fast as he could spend when he was not going to hold on to power himself or with his VP Kamala Harris, his Secretary Yellen announcing Trump would have no money Day 1.\n\nHow did that work out for these criminals? It is what they are, audit reveals.\n\nTrump promised economy, and that meant audits to these villains.\n\nThis is why participants put up their big smoke screen attacks on Trump and supporters, and even anyone who voted for him the first time and the next.

Who cares. The military literally denies people who have legitimate skills, no health issues, and are perfectly mentally stable. Having a simple cannabis charge, 94 Asvab. Qualify for any M.O.S. and the most you can do is clean a shitter or work with oil because you would be a security risk. Which makes no sense to be able to work with oil for vehicles when you could immobilize a shit ton of vehicles... What do you think Im gonna divulge top secret material to the chinese or russians for a joint?\nIf people get denied for something like this.\nWho cares.\nAfter these past 4 years and what society has become in the US. Not a single thing I would fight for in this country.\n\nAt this point the way the LGBTQ Gestapo has harrassed people these past 4 years. You all deserve this shit and I could care less. You maybe would have more people supporting you if you actually represented honesty, fairness, integrity, and acceptance. Yet that was all a front for a hateful, toxic, lying cess pool. Me personally the way I have been harrased and lied about for years since Biden got elected by the LGBTQ Gestapo all because of people lying about me. I could care less. Let this sink in too. I would have stood up for anyone 5 years ago. Now I'd rather leave this country. Once my dog dies, I'm gone. Not because Trump got elected or any politician, because the citizens of this country make it great and well what I've seen the past 4 years is nothing I want to be around anymore. Nothing I'd fight for. \nThe constitution and foundations of this country are awesome. Yet at this point who cares when the people here are pack minded, easily psyop manipulated, sheep, who cant critically think.\nLeaving this dump of a society seems much better than fighting for it.

Canada is taking 200 billion from America; Trump says you can't do that anymore, and Canada wants to keep taking from us; they don't even want to renegotiate with new and more fair contracts; you got my support, Trump. Why do all these countries think they can keep stealing from us

Do these fools really think that Americans who voted Trump in, were not ready for this. This is the working class, we fix things, and make things work, and not just buy new things. We stay out of financialization. The run of the mill Trump supporter is smarter than Trudeau.

Dear Mr. Donald J. Trump, \n\nThe Egyptian people, in all their diversity, reject your crazy ideas that you put forward recklessly without awareness of their catastrophic impact about the displacement of the Palestinian people off their land. If you think that the Egyptian people can be led behind your unwise lead like those of the Gulf states, then you are mistaken and should reconsider your calculations. We are a people of principle and belief, ready to defend our borders and our homeland to the last of us.\n\nHere's the news; by your strange ideas, you were able to unite the Egyptian people altogether behind their leadership in rejecting the displacement plan of the Palestinian people – our brothers – out of their land. \n\nIn this same context, we would like to convey to you a counter proposal: It is rather the displacement of the Israelis to the United Sates of America; you have huge, underutilized spaces amongst the vast stretches of land of the US, and the Israelis can be very useful to you in all aspects. \n\nWe promise you, if you do this, everyone will be more than happy, and the US economy won’t have to continue its bleeding as it won’t have to continue supporting and arming Israel with all these huge amount of money through the unfortunate American taxpayers’ money anymore.\n\nThink it over, dear Trump.

If CNN thinks it can survive now that the White House is opening its doors to more pod casters and YouTubers then it’s dead wrong. Very fake news, if a Democrat isn’t in office then they automatically go into defense mode. I support this, and majority of Americans do, Trump won.

I hate Trump and everything he stands for but transgenders serving openly are contrary to the principle of good order and discipline. No matter what people think transgenders are not respected by their subordinates and there has to be respect to be an effective leader. In this man's case he flies as a crew of 1 and possibly 2 so he doesn't require respect from his subordinates but a frontline combat officer leading a company would get zero respect and would probably get fragged. The standards have to be the same across all branches and all jobs and that's not possible. The military is mostly populated with southern and mid western men and they will never accept this so as a veteran I support this move to ban them. I would also like to see the standards restored in regards to fat heterosexuals too. There's nothing that says lack of discipline like a fat soldier whose buttons on his BDU shirt are about to pop and they can't see their toes.

I'm no Trump supporter whatsoever I honestly think the man is Despicable but what Democrats need to realize is this was one of the main reasons they lost the election there's a lot of people that just don't agree with trans or lgbtq plus issues they don't they don't say anything because they don't want to lose their jobs or be ostracized but to be honest most people don't agree with this stuff

They'll get off the plane, and go right back to the US and try again. \nIn fact. MORE will now attempt it seeing that if they get caught, they'll simply get a free plane ride home. \nHell, if I was one of them, I'd be doing it as well!! This is good news for illegals. \nAnd just look at the number of people in here supporting this ridiculous strategy from Trump. \nLol, you idiots are dumb as dirt to think this will help stop illegals coming into your country. \nIt's going to INCREASE it. And it will cost you millions every year without end. \nLive and never learn.

Are Trump supporters not understanding how crazy this is? Whether or not this issue is resolved, the guy has been in office for a week and he's already implementing protectionist measures as a political strategy. This is such a bad move for a country's economy. Y'all can’t even afford proper healthcare, groceries are insanely expensive, and you elect such an unstable person? I'm not trying to be judgy, but I genuinely don’t understand how you could see this and think, 'Yeah, that's my President.' Like, what?

Trump will cause more harm than good..watchout ..He thinks America can live without the support from one another ?..wenall need one another..All these is crazy ?

*The problem is that Trump never thinks anything through. You can’t just deport thousands of migrant workers who fulfill important jobs that Americans don’t want…jobs such as farming, agriculture, meats and poultry and other service jobs. I have a huge problem with indiscriminate deportation. There should be selective deportation, the illegals who are committing crimes…yes deport them. Most undocumented workers aren’t committing crimes, they commit crimes at a lesser rate than Americans. We need the hardworking migrants to support our economy. The prices of eggs are already high enough, this will only contribute to higher prices as many critical jobs will remain unfilled. This is another dumb move by Trump to give Americans the facade that he’s cleaning up the country.*

Trump didnt do tariffs to mexico when they rejected 2 military flights becaus the retaliation would have blown up in trumps face. He did his tariffs. On columbia thinking it was no big deal. How WRONG TRUMP IS COLUMBIA will retaliate and the rest of the world will support their retaliation! Bully trump getting schooled!

Haha in Trump face, he think he's the man and got played out like he played his stupid supporters \nI'm glad Columbia standing their ground, Trump is a big POS

I’m taking to my president haiti can’t receive any deportation Haiti need more and more help Before thinking send representatives to see Haiti first please thank you my president Donald j trump for your support and god bless you ❤

How the world has changed. As a Business Major in the 90s, the WSJ was the guardian of Conservative thinking and held steadfast against any kind of Liberal ideas as cuckoo. Now the WSJ is basically in full agreement with Democrats, and against most Trump policies. Honestly, as someone that just watches the freak show, as George Carlin so famously said, I'm left wondering who is right or wrong. Also, where is this going? It seems almost all Conservative support is now with Fox News and podcasters. Hardly any networks or newspapers, no news agencies (as we know Fox isn't a news agency).

Trump thinks him spitefully putting Tarifs on these countries because they aren’t bowing to to him . Trump i keep saying he doesn’t care for humanity he out of anger and him being a narcissist and no empathy behind doesn’t care if we the people are negatively affected. No but his supporters this is who they wanted. Y’all tried to hurt those Americans who are your color but you hurt your own selves.

Honestly how is it possible that almost all of Trump's supporters lack critical thinking, they are just emotional babies like him. How is it hard to think that having such Tariffs affects consumer price at the same rate. How dumb can you be not to see this? I also understand other countries to denay the landing of military planes without schedule or agreed up on time and place. How would US feel if another country just sends their military plane without any information . This is wild.

I earned my permanent resident status back in 2001 and joined US ARMY during war in terror and served for 8 years. While serving, I was deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan in the middle of hot zones, dodging grim reaper's radar for many, many times. When I finally earned my US citizenship through military, I seamlessly transitioned into law enforcement career in New York for past 10 years, which I encountered with many illegal criminals with rap sheets- which some makes you think why they are still wondering in the street instead of locked up in the jail, having their freedom taken away. What is funny is that many of these illegal criminals have such an entitled mindset that they are deserve to be here in US without permit do whatever they want and enjoying these unbelievable benefits that these sanctuary city/state provides that we, us citizens don't even get- and we are paying for it with our hard earned money. I think I earned my citizenship with blood and sweat, same goes to many immigrant hopefuls that came to U.S with true American dream. It is time to take back our country and I 100% support with Trump's decision on this.

O_o Well this is a weird situation. I didn't expect a Mexican American immigrant to support Trump. She explained that she was technically legal. However I really doubt this. Trump is extremely racist. He would still deport this woman anyway. Maybe it is not just a racism thing. Trump is a felon. Felons are the last people that would consider the law. It is nice that this woman went the extra mile to be legit, but I think she is still shooting herself in the foot.

I’m an American citizen who was born in the United States (Hawaii). Everyone has the right to support or not support President Trump’s plans for mass deportation. The interviewer asked this Mexican American woman her opinion and she’s entitled to her opinion. There are a lot of Hispanic people who agree with Trump. I don’t think she’s turning her back on her family by saying “it’s okay” if they get deported. I think she’s respecting and supporting the rules of Immigration laws to have legal documentation to live in the United States. Rather than disrespecting and ignoring Immigration laws the way her family did. I think in a way she’s saying “it’s okay” her family gets deported because they deserve to be penalized for breaking Immigration laws for entering and staying in America for 20 or 30 years illegally which is valid and understandable. It comes down to the phrase “You commit the crime you do the time” whether it’s family or not. I believe she has a leg to stand on because she followed Immigration laws, received her Green Card and is living in the United States legally. If a family member of mine committed a crime and were put in jail or deported back to their country I would say “it’s okay” too. You reap what you sow.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT MAGA VOTERS LOOK AT THEM LIKE OSTRICHES BECAUSE THEY STILL HAVE THEIR HEADS IN THE SANDS AND BELIEVES THAT DRUG JONNIE TRUMP IS THE MESSIA. THE DICTATOR TRUMP WAS TO OVER THROW THE GOVERNMENT AND MAGA WILL DESTOY IT BECAUSE MAGA ARE ALL SUCKERS AND LOSERS. \nJUST THINK A MINUTE MAGA VOTERS. \nTHE RIGHT NEWS NETWORKS HAD ASSISTED YOUR VOTES BY SUPPORTING THE MOB BOSS TRUMP. \nALL THESE NETWORKS LIED TO YOU OR GASLIGHTED YOU IS ALL FOR THE LOVE OF RATINGS. \nDONALD J TRUMP LIED TO YOU AND GASLIGHTED YOU FOR THE APPRAISAL OF DONALD J TRUMP'S RATINGS.\nDONALD J TRUMP WAS THE ORIGINAL PINNOCHIO WITHOUT THE LONG NOSE TRICK.

China is using Mexico to avoid paying the US to have their merchandise cross the border. China is sneaky..be careful with them.\nI dont support Trump but he is half right but so is the president from Mexico.\nTrump and Claudia need to sit down and have a productive conversation on how to resolve this issue. One of the things I would mention is to not have Chinese merchandise cross the US-Mexico border through Mexico, thats where I think the conversation should really focus on. I blame ex president Enrique Pena Nieto for this problem because he allowed China to use Mexico, corrupted president.

Dear President Sheinbaum. We the American people have voted and CLEARLY spoken on this issue of illegal migration and fentanyl... and now all should stop! Consider this..if you do not support the stop of Illegal migration, the stop of fentanyl into this country, we the Majority of Americans will support President Trump to stop it with Military action. Think about this. We are not willing for any more of our people, our children to die because you are controlled by Cartels. We are not willing to permit this anymore! The US has more that 10 MILLION times the necessary power to stop you.
