To think that Canadians would want to become part of the US simply shows just how deluded certain Americans are about their own country.

If you want to hurt US, you need to target their tech industry. A huge part of their economy relies on them. Add tariffs on Meta, SpaceX, Tesla, Google, Amazon, OpenAI, and make stricter regulations for them and ban them if you must. The only thing that can stop Trump is if Elon and his tech bros starts whining.

Trump mentioned before that integrating Canada into a part of US and it seems the plan didn't work so it might be normal to see worse tariff for Canada in the future

We, the people, don't have free education, many students own loans from universities.\nWe can not buy houses, and no programs help us.\nWe (USA)have a lot of homeless, criminals, people with mental health, PEOPLE ADDICTIVE TO HEAVY DRUGS, plus the alcohol, weed, cigarettes, undecated young people, 30 percent only have a banchelors degree the 70 percent in the whole country don't have university education and not counting young people getting pregnant with toxic partners and their kids repeat the same poisonous life affecting their generations touching lives in a bad way.\nUSA has a lot of potholes in the roads, our foods have over 300 harmful chemicals to harm our health, the health system sucks, education is low teacher teach with youtube and are lazy to teach, educational system is super slow to process student classes or to advice them they make a mess in the documentation of the payments or financial aid, we have to baby sit the educational system to do their jobs and get things done, the food so expensive the egg, milk, vegetable, fruits, gas so expensive it never went down we still paying in LA 5 dollar per gallon to 6.50.\nUSA RENT are for the roofs some states do not even have rental control student loans kill people with HIGH INTEREST THEY GO AFTER YOUR HOME CAR TAXES .\nthe government is not to serve it wants the we the people serve the government.\ngovernment uses our taxes for their personal investment and we the people pay for it.\nThe USA government gives bread crumbs to its own citizens, what can other countries expect from it? The worst part is that most citizens are blind, and we need to wake up and make the government do its job instead of putting our tax money in their pockets.\ncountries need to look for their people but sadly the governments use their people very few are have justice and education.\nUSA say they help but they beat up the ones that are down and take advantages of countries that are in war USA exploit them is an investment not help USA always gets more of the double of what they help invest in countries like congo or eukrania USA want the minerals,land of eukrania and the diamond, land and resources of africa.

I knew the US would eventually fall, but I didn't know it'd only take six weeks to make CANADA an enemy. This is insane to me. Sorry Canada. I'll try and do my part. For right now, it's just simple vandalism.

i know Trudeau gets a lot of crap from people, but my god this was a hell of a speech. same with Bernie Sanders' speech. i got goosebumps and also trying to fight back tears simultaneously. my ex wife is disabled receiving social security, medicare, and medicaid due to being in a wheelchair and requiring consistent medical care and attention. she receives, and is expected to survive on, $800 a month and $300 in foodstamps. she lives in campgrounds which is 90% cheaper than rent, and still has to budget, struggle and go without a lot to make life work all while being in tremendous pain and reliant on help from others. Trump, Elon, and all the other billionaires in charge are literally trying to make the ones suffering the most to suffer more while making them even richer. its absolutely disgusting how soulless these CEOs are. the world is ashamed of us and frankly if you are American and not ashamed and embarrassed by what these billionaires are doing with our relationship to not only our country but the entire world....then you arent a patriot, you are a cult follower, and you are part of the problem.

Canada has been acting as part of US for years, taking orders from the US regardless of Canadian interest, for example arresting Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou per US order. Why not agree to become the 51th state of the US?

Mr Trudeau what Trump is doing to Canada is part of his vengeance tour. You didn’t show him the respect he thinks he deserves ?! He doesn’t care who he hurts including the US who he claims to make great again.

Why you support US trade war with China previously, you are part of it, why complain now !!? You even detain Chinese telco CFO in high profile for US without hesitation, now you are enemy of 2 most powerful countries on earth. ???

So here's the thing smart guy if you're terrifying us and we decided to tear up you back at the same rate, you're doing us wise that us being the bad guy? It's a pretty simple question. Why do we have tariffs at all on each other? If we're all just trying to get along and why are we giving you billions of dollars? When you're not a part of our country, why do we protect you militarily?\n And your citizens. We don't get paid for any of that and that's a lot of money.\nNot including everything you're using the b**** and wine about what we do.America Or invented The reason why you have free medical is because well we pay for it basically That in your citizens And something like sixty to eighty percent of all medical breakthroughs happened in The united states , which means we also Substitute Everything medical that you guys have pretty much so therefore we paid for that

It's crazy how you people can put up with all this jargon every day politicians lawyers TV news like a bunch of ants fighting over bread I'm so proud of myself for getting rid of my TV in 1992 and not being part of the matrix I laughed my Sicilian balls off as a pray my rosary for all you people that just don't get it Turn your TVs off for one month hide your smart phone free yourselves like a bunch of ants running around instead of a shoebox after a piece of bread money hungry I can go on forever and ever etc. etc. love one another like Jesus loves us it's not about money Ben Franklin is not the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth is . Remember the poor we're suffering not like a fake Rich you should've voted Michael Jackson as president you people are all crazy it's all greed every country every president all greed every politician greed money money money money money money money money money greed

People from the USA will pay the price for all this but Trump doesn't care because he considers them as slaves to him and his rich friends. As for Vance and his comment about war... Hey Vancy boy...wnaan talk about war? Really? USA got his arse kicked in Vietnam, Modagishu, Irak and Afghanistan. The only war they had some success with was against the weak Germans during WWII and they would have never been able to do it without the Russians. And let's not forget that they almost got defeated a few days after D-Day. This, because of..... bogs! So get here Vancy boy and you'll see what Canadians are capable of. Besides that, you need us more than we need you and you automobile's economy (among many others) is going to crash just because of you and Trump. No more electricity for you, no no more gas, no more oil, no more lumber, no more aluminum, no more alcohol sales and the worst part...no more maple syrup! Besides that, almost everything sold by the USA is coming from China, so why bother buying from the USA when we can buy the same for cheaper?

Look, for the most part, we’re not anti American . Most of us have loved ones who live there. \nWe are against a trade war and we’re against the current US administration because of its bullying and threatening our sovereignty.

So refreshing listening to a head of state that sounds, speaks and acts like an adult and puts the interest of his country first. Canada ?? do what you have to. The idiot is stubborn and incorrigible and his cult members are no different. The indoctrination runs deep. Maybe lost jobs, no power/fuel, hunger pains, sticker shocker and depleted 401k accounts will register. Too bad more of us did not vote for common sense.\n\nOnly an idiot starts a war with “friends” and bend over for an enemy who’s using him as a tool to only enlarge his empire and weaken America. The executive part of his brain ? is severely compromised. \n\nGod help us all.

Dear Justin, 75 million Americans voted against Donald Trump in the recent election. We appreciate your speaking directly to us today and in recent speeches you have given. We know what a good ally you have been to the US and we also know your primary concern is to Canadian citizens. While many of us have done what we could do and we also know the current trade arrangement was negotiated with you by Donald Trump in his previous term which leaves many of us scratching our heads. For my part it deeply saddens me that this has happened and all we ask or all that I ask is that you remember those of us who did not vote for this. Slightly less than half of the country. When this is over, and it will end one day we look forward to breaking bread with Canada again.

Trudeau is the epitome of western society's moral decay, under his leadership Canada has become a radical third world country, from gay marriage to state sponsored marihuana, to state sponsored gambling that floods the country. As a result, Canada today is the bedrock and safe haven for criminals, while ordinary Canadian people's lives continually decline, especially the working class who are struggling yet still cannot make ends meet. A lot of Canadians either have moved to the US, or they would like for Canada to be part of the US so that they have some hope. I am sorry for the Canadian people but have no sympathy for Trudeau.

We are in this boat because of Justin Trudeau and the Liberal/NDP government! We have no one to blame, but ourselves and our incompetent decisions. Can’t wait to be part of the US!

The Tariffs are a part of the long game. Bring jobs back the the US. Buy Made in the USA.

*Canada's Response to US Tariffs: A Measured Approach*\n\n*Executive Summary*\n\nIn response to the 25% tariffs imposed by the US on Canadian goods, Canada has announced a robust countermeasure. Effective immediately, Canada will impose 25% tariffs on $20.7 billion worth of imported goods from the US. This initial phase is part of a larger plan to impose tariffs on up to $155 billion worth of US goods, should the current tariffs remain in place.\n\n*Key Highlights*\n\n- *Tariffs on $20.7 Billion Worth of US Goods*: Canada's initial response includes tariffs on various products, such as:\n - Food and beverages: orange juice, peanut butter, wine, spirits, beer, coffee\n - Consumer goods: appliances, apparel, footwear, motorcycles, cosmetics\n - Industrial products: pulp and paper products\n- *Additional Tariffs on $155 Billion Worth of US Goods*: If the current tariffs remain in place, Canada plans to impose additional tariffs on products, including:\n - Electric vehicles\n - Fruits and vegetables\n - Beef, pork, dairy\n - Electronics\n - Steel, aluminum\n - Trucks, buses\n- *Non-Tariff Options*: Canada is exploring non-tariff options, including export restrictions and investment measures.\n- *Remission Process*: A remission process has been established to consider requests for exceptional relief from the tariffs.\n\n*Rationale*\n\nCanada's response is a direct result of President Trump's decision to impose tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods, citing concerns over fentanyl trafficking and trade agreements. However, Canada has argued that the tariffs are unjustified and will have devastating consequences for both American and Canadian economies.\n\n*Conclusion*\n\nCanada's response to the US tariffs is a measured and targeted approach, aimed at protecting Canadian interests and jobs while also encouraging the US to reconsider its decision ¹ ² ³.

I think it is time to use all the unused land to grow our vegetation and any thing else that gets planted to use for the Canadian. We do have the brain and the finances to grow our own fruit even if it takes a couple of years for the plants to produce the vegetation to supply the need. We need to manufacture our own goods. It is only one simple issue we will face but it is one we can handle! Oil, gas, car parts and cars...do it here and get some of the unemployed individuals Living on Provincial Checks off their butts and put them to work. (any that can at all} It might just surprise people at how many would have a reason to get up in the morning and the self confidence they need to get rid of the very thing Trump said was killing US people and stop it from coming in from the US! If we are going to tell it lets tell the truth!.

Justin, my family and I are dismayed my our neighbors here in the US that voted for the DONALD. Can we bring our talents & wealth to Canada?? We are college educated & ready to be a part of a society with stronger values than the new America.

Canada, tell me: What is the difference between an assistant drama teacher and a smart person? A drama teacher will fight a losing battle against an economic giant that doesn't need Canada as much as Canada needs him. For Americans, the high cost of Canadian goods will just make them turn to non-Canadian substitute products; for Canadians, we cannot help but buy US products despite the higher costs because we don't have a lot of alternatives. In the long run, Canada will cave in and become the 51st State. Why don't we skip the hardship part and just go straight to where we become part of an economic giant!

It’s a shame they called this the “‘…US launched…” tariff war. I wanted no part of this! I am disgusted but his.

Just remember world not all of us voted for Trump. Just the ignorant uneducated low lives that can’t critically think. They can be found in the armpit of the US also known as the South or the same states that lost the civil war which ended slavery. Most of you probably never heard it because no one wants to visit that part of the US.

How come Canada didn't do something about the illegals coming through their border and the fetanal problem until Trump was elected? During Biden Canada wasn't really concerned. BTW how about the US stop exporting aircraft parts to Canada

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.

For those of you who don’t get a lot of real and unbiased news in Trump’s Greater America…watch these documentaries from Australia and decide for yourself. There is a lot of circumstantial evidence behind Trump stealing both elections. Trump’s actions have become more extreme, as he greatly fears the consequences for ALL of his Criminal actions. Watch ABC Australia’s three part Four Corners Documentary exposing both Trump’s comprehensive and long-standing links with Russia and their cyber-espionage during the elections in the US. Also explains Trump seeking unwarranted control over all levels of law and its’ enforcement. He probably didn’t win this recent election either as the Russians have clearly done a deal with him to put him into power. He is now an (un)official Russian operative and things Putin won’t betray him….but Putin is younger and far better at removing obstacles that stand in his way. Trump may have a convenient heart attack once he’s served his purpose.

Please don't think poorly of us , the biggest part of our country does NOT agree with his stupid policies

Hey Canada/Trudeau if you don’t want the tariffs from President Trump then remove your limiting factors on American goods to equal the playing field! Maybe these tariffs and our President may finally get you to allow into Canada as much as we do into the USA! Trying to play a game of tariff against President Trump will not do Canadians any good. This is part of the reason you won’t be the tyrant dictator you once enjoyed being. Not to mention the Canadian government should be doing a lot better on stopping the cartels and their POS fentanyl from coming into their country as well as across into the US!

President Trudeau, thank you for speaking directly to us. There are many Americans who disagree with him and his administration. We are doing our parts here. \n\nPresident Trump and his MAGA Republicans who sold their souls to aligned with a dictator. \n\nAs for the MAGA supporters, gee thanks.

Pay your own way Canada. We're not worried about you, you should worry about yourselves and fire this guy. He's destroyed your country and is only doing more harm. We're done giving you $200billion a year while we're going bankrupt. Also you BETTER invest billions in stopping Fentanyl from getting into America from your country. We are done asking for these things and has a president that is following his citizens will. So remember when you talk bad about our president you are talking bad about most of us Americans. Americans love Canadians, but don't abuse us or push us. It WILL not work out good for your country. America FIRST,we will no longer stay on the bankruptcy path and we're ending Fentanyl coming into our country. One way or the other. Either you're part of the solution or you're part of the problem.

Wait for it, the white house will withdraw from NATO, and remover all US troops and bases from Europe. All part of Putins plan

CNN has a great way of trying to turn things against the Republicans it’s Canada that has benefited the very most from our US Canadian relationship Canada is very strict immigration laws which is good. What is bad is they allow people from other countries outside US and Canada to fly in and go through the border into United States. from my understanding, and for the most part, probably because I hardly ever listen to CNN news is most Canadians lost trust in their Prime Minister

I have never heard a Canadian sound so fierce and it makes me wish I were a Canadian today. Canada, there are many many Americans that are so ashamed today be part of this country today and please know that we fully support you putting our country in its place. We hope that you know we have your back and that we hope that you will forgive us when we have shown we actually deserve it

I am beginning to like Trump's idea of Canada becoming part of the US. So that we could have the Prime Minister as the leader of the great America, and we get rid of the president and presidency altogether.

Cut the power off to the U.S. ?? and stop the 4 million barrels of oil going over the border put a stop to the Uranium going south no more Nickle or steel or Aluminum, Potash for their Farmers stop that also, the additional measures being considered will be painful and unfortunately the majority of Americans don't realize what's coming their way sure Canada ?? will feel pain also but we are standing up for what's right these tariffs is an unprovoked attack on our economy and you can bet Vladimir Putin ?? is smiling now knowing Trump can be compromised just look at what Putin ?? has managed to do so far he has manipulated Trump into alienating all his allies which has now happened you can bet that Vladimir Putin ?? is going milk this till he either succeeds in destroying the world ? view of the U.S.?? or manipulates Trump into telling him things he shouldn't to further his plans because if you think Vladimir Putin ?? does have a deck of cards up his sleeve you're nieve he has shook the hands of 2 dictators, Kim Jong Un ?? and Vladimir Putin ?? and has burned all his bridges with allies and you still think Russia isn't trying to interfere politically so it works to their advantage it already has. Hell he is ex KGB for crying out loud if that's not a red flag then the U.S.?? has more issues than I thought. How could Trump and his thugs attack President Zelensky ?? on live T.V. for the world ? to see how disrespectful, cruel, a total lack of compassion for a president who has had his country destroyed he's losing his people and that shirt President Zelensky was wearing was from a young girl back in Ukraine the U.S. ?? played Judge, Jury and executioner on live T.V. They are punishing President Zelensky for absolutely no reason by stalling aid to Ukraine his people are being slaughtered and they want Ukraine to give up territory and that's not acceptable under any circumstances Trump is trying to force President Zelensky ?? into a deal with Russia ?? by stalling aid. So let's punish people in a country that has been destroyed even more to force them into a deal with Russia ?? that would require Ukraine to give up territory absolutely not! Ukraine must remain in tact and return to its former glory ?? the United States of America ?? can no longer be trusted especially if they attacked their closest allies and insulted us continually did WW1 and WW2 mean absolutely nothing to the U.S.?? when Iran ?? took American hostages Canadians ?? worked tirelessly to devise a plan to get them back to the U.S. and succeeded in doing Just that the Canadians brought back the Americans safely. When 9/11 happened and Canada ?? took on thousands of passengers in Gander Newfoundland Canada ?? we opened our airspace and landed each and every one of them safely then when Americans couldn't get their medication, Gander gave it to them free of charge when Americans went shopping for clothes the stores gave it to them free of charge everything they needed was provided free of charge they were fed housed offered compassion and opened their homes so Americans could shower and clean up. So Canadians has always been there for the U.S.?? and this is how Canada ?? is repaid for its sacrifices made during both wars and other historical events that involved both countries ????? So if the world ? sees the U.S. attacking it closest allie for no reason and insulting Canada ?? at every turn and spreading complete lies about Canadians saying we want to be the 51 St State! No Canadians want that I can tell you, not for anything or any amount of Gold or currency would Canadians want to be part of the U.S.?? we'll the world ? has seen the 2 faces of the United States ?? now and you can bet the confidence in all aspects in that country will plummet! The ?? can't be trusted anymore.

I'm a Canadian who has always voted for Prime Minister Trudeau and I will continue to vote liberal. I heard a person on the Jake Tapper, C NN, this afternoon say all the companies are coming to the USA not Canada, he didn't mention that they come because they don't have to pay a lot of taxes. Us Canadians take great offense that the spawn of the devil wants to annex our country and he refers to our Prime Minister as governor. The orange dumb criminal and his maggots would probably give part of our country to snakehead war tyrant putin who has interest in the Artic and that would involve Greenland. We Canadians don't want to make life difficult for the American people but the dumb evil cheeto likes tariffs. President Zelenski didn't start the war and he won't be the one to start WW3. putin is a war criminal who controls the criminal organization in the White House and it's leader. President Zelenski be careful the spawn of the devil ? and war tyrant can't be trusted. ?????

I mean he’s certainly well spoken Im sure we all can agree but factual….not so much. People do your research on Chinese Triad gang members buying up real estate in Vancouver to launder money from drug sales. There is no doubt a growing problem in Canada that is impacting the US. By the numbers Canada illegal border crossings and Fentanyl crossing volume might pale in comparison to Mexico but it’s important to note that it’s still a rising problem they’ve yet to fully understand. Look at how much of the Northern US border is unguarded compared to the southern border. This tariff war between the US and Canada is no doubt a problem but Canada is absolutely a part of the reason it exists. In the end please remember there’s always two sides to every story and mainstream media is anything but objective when it comes to how they cover them.

I am American independent voter who vote against Treasonous Trump this past election of 2024 in favor of Kamala Harris. While many of my fellow Americans voted for Trump many others like me did not. Now so many good and event Americans are going to suffer because of many Maga or Maga supporting Americans who foolishly chose to support Trump and his lies. Any pain and suffering Anti Trump supporting Americans, along international American Allies and theuir people, suffer will be squarely on the shoulders of Maga and Maga supporting Americans.\n\nHow Trumps first term wasn’t a wake up call and eye opener to how terrible he was and is as president is beyond me. He, treasonous Trump, did nothing to help our economy which essentially stalled or went into generally neutral state with essentially no growth positively or negatively, followed by a near complete nose dive due to Treasonous Trump’s poor handling and equally poor response to the Covid-!9 Pandemic. How people could seemed to forget that Treasonous Trump, not Joe Biden, was responsible for the current sate of things following the pandemic is beyond me. \n\nMaga and Maga supporting Americans have been conned again by Treasonous Trump, who not only failed to properly respond to the Covid pandemic but also incited and or encouraged many of Maga supporters to essentially attack the US Capitol in hopes of stopping Joe Biden’s Presidential Certification. Those in the Inter national world are not alone in their condemnation of the disgrace and embarrassment that sis current US President Trump. True Americans who believe in our constitution and rule of law as decreed by the founding fathers of our nation must unfortunately bare part of the shame Maga America has brought upon our country as a whole.Truly good and decent Americans must bare the shame of now living in a country that much International world now no longer trusts and has lost respect for. For all the hateful Maga thinking and or supporting Americans there are as many truly good non maga Americans who want more peaceful relations with allies in the international world. Sadly because of Trump and his hate many must now unjustly suffer .

Dear Canadians, now that the US is part of Russia, you need to come closer to us in Europe against dictators.

Eliminating our allies so that Trump and his evil doers can take over our country but there are idts that can't see it. Way doesn't anyone talk about that because that is what is going on. I am okay with what our allies are doing because maybe that is what will wake up these people that support this madness. The United States is like walking around in a forest with wolves just waiting for us to be sleeping or just not protected and attack use. Trump said Ukraine was starting WWlll that is bull shit he is and it is all part of the plan.

Americans are owned by their new King Vladimir Putin now. And China. This is all to help China and Russia. \nWhen will CNN even fkn MENTION \nTHE 200-500 THOUSAND INDIVIDUAL MILITARY GRADE WEAPONS US MANUFACTURERS SELL TO DRUG CARTELS EVERY YEAR ? \nYOUR CORRUPT OFFICIALS TAKING PART I. TRAFFICKING THE DRUGS. DID YOU EVEN REPORT THE ALABAMA CASE OF THE 5 cops and a spouse. Including the CHIEF OF POLICE Using the Evidence room as their drug supply ??\nHUH. ?\n\nCNN ????????

We are angry - with those people who ignorantly voted for Trump and those people who chose not to vote. Not the people who chose to vote democratically to remain a democratic country. We are clear that his real agenda is to use this trade war to attempt to coerce us into becoming the 51st state. For MANY reasons, we will not EVER become part of Trump’s America. We will collectively fight in any way possible, even though we know it will be tough, to prevent it. We also know that there is a bigger picture in that it’s clear that Trump is aligned with Putin in the push to destroy democracy globally in favour of an authoritarian world order that benefits only the ultra rich. Canada, the Ukraine, Greenland and Panama are stepping stones to that end goal.

When will CNN even fkn MENTION \nTHE 200-500 THOUSAND INDIVIDUAL MILITARY GRADE WEAPONS US MANUFACTURERS SELL TO DRUG CARTELS EVERY YEAR ? \nYOUR CORRUPT OFFICIALS TAKING PART I. TRAFFICKING THE DRUGS. DID YOU EVEN REPORT THE ALABAMA CASE OF THE 5 cops and a spouse. Including the CHIEF OF POLICE Using the Evidence room as their drug supply ??\nHUH. ?\n\nCNN ????????

This is a clear indication that the US is partnering with Russia and is now part of the Evil Empire. I guess Americans need to start learning Russian now.

Maybe it will come to a Russia, Ukraine deal between Canada and the US,people will suffer, die! It's all part of the real plan ! One world order

The bad part is, the Ukraine, Mexico, and Canada think that WE ALL side with the behaviors of a president of the USA and treat us ALL like we are in support\n\n\n\nONLY MAGA white supremacists are raising pitchforks and making lunch mobs against any non white, or non American

Well, we in South East Asia prefer that you, friends, fighting each other. Keep up the fighting please. If you, friends, are fighting, you leave us alone. You won't incite us to fight among our own friends. With you fighting among, friends, we can actually have our peace. It is for the good of the world. Keep yourselves in your part of the world.

Someone asked: Why do so-called Christians think Donald Trump is some kind of savior that was appointed by GOD to save us all? Another person answered: Because of the total opposites in your statement. I am a conservative AND a believer. \nAnd that makes it so difficult for me to take Republicans serious. How in the world is it that those who profess to believe in GOD, claim to be Christians - and worship Trump? \nA self-confessed abuser of women (When you are rich, they let you do anything you want to)? \nA rapist. \nA thief (Think: Trump “University”) \nA man without respect for anyone (Think: “nick names.”) \nA liar (Think: My crowd was bigger than any ones) + 34,000 PROVEN lies more \nA hypocrite (The Two Corinthians) \nA cheater (Think: Two pregnant wives, both of whom he cheated) \nAn inciter of violence (Think: Fight like hell) \nIn no way does the man fit any concept of Christian character and yet, those who profess to be Christians think he is GOD-given??? GOD does at times allow evil leaders to be appointed over Nations as part of HIS ETERNAL PLAN in this World before the Creation of this World as in the case Egypt's Evil Pharaoh and Evil King Saul because Israel wanted a King instead of GOD'S Prophets such as Samuel directing them at the time of Israel's request.
