Trump is starting an economic war. The stupidest thing a president can do. A politician would never do something like that

The trouble with political commentators is they try to think like a politician? Trump is not a politician! So think like a businessperson, its the deal and what is the best deal for the USA. At present he is the catalyst for many things and the most worried are the politicians and a lot of their lucrative deals they have made, in most cases not to the benefit of the country! In fact, it does America a favor, so if it becomes cheaper to make it at home, guess what? That's what they'll do, create investment, employment, greater wealth etc! And like most media outlets, they like to mix facts up, its not drugs from the north thats the problem. What Trump is implying is that Canada is aiding and abetting illegal immigration to another sovereign country via government policies! Plus the Trump administration is transporting illegals back to their country of origin rather than to the last country that harbored them! And the common theme is, the people suffer for what?

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.

Germany is so badly in need of a Trump like politician!

This is what Dems don't understand about tariffs -- they are a negotiating tool. They're not meant to be permanent. They don't even have to go into effect at all. Just the threat of tariffs is often enough. Colombia can't survive without the US as a major trading partner. Tariffs would kill them. So, they quickly changed their tune. Like him or not, Trump understands how to negotiate. That's the difference between a President with business experience, as opposed to a President who is a lawyer and a lifelong politician.

Trump asked that we seal our borders and do something about fentanyl. How did Canadian politicians respond! Like chickens with their heads cut off, throwing around our idea of tariffs. Trump was clear. I have no idea why they had to take it to this level in Canada.

ask them to vote for good politicians like Trump in their own country, not corrupt politicians. Don't use the excuse that your country is bad for you as you vote for stupid public servants. Am I right Biden or Kamala loka? vote for a good politician that will serve your country not their own pocket...or pardoning family member, right Biden?

Germany needs a Trump like politician

Look T the policy's Biden is pushing after they lost is crazy giving away money to his friends non profits trying selling the border wall putting a green energy policy in place that they are trying to Trump proof if you lose the election u shouldn't be allowed to do anything like that this country is broken and needs major reform. The democrats are literally like idc what the people want screw them wow what a kick in the face. They've been screwing the public for decades when's the last time are government wasn't against the poor and middle class just look at the stock market manipulation they change rules on the day to hurt people and change orders and halt stocks but allow backedup orders look at what they pulled with gamestop i cant believe the crsp I've seen these past years since cv19 and before that its blatant theft we can do anything at anytime for any reason that's communist worse actually cause at least the communist admit they are corrupt the lying crap is way worse no its not rigged no we ain't stealing well why did u rig it then and steal from people then why can't any politician explain why they are making 20 x there salary a year why don't they have to show where they got it from why does the irs not care why is the fbi stealing treasure finds from people and lying about it after they get caught why is it are whole country has turned to such garbage now dam straight we don't trust a bunch of lying crocks that literally get away with everything when we can't even get a a single thing its just so much its unreal I can go on and on while I'm talking im positive another politician just stole another 1 million dollars like its picking up a dollar off the ground

Isolationism in the modern world doesn’t work, it’s an obsolete philosophy. The global world is far too interconnected, this will prove to be absolutely catastrophic not only economically but also politically. \n\nI’m independent, This in particular is NOT about politics, it doesn’t take a Democrat to conclude these little economic wars with the country we most depend on economically will prove catastrophic. Disagreeing with Trump on this doesn’t mean disagreeing with his presidency, let’s all understand the nuance in politics so we stop blindly agreeing with every choice politicians make just because we like them. \n\nBut ahh yes, Isolating the only two countries we border, the same countries that Russia, and China in particular are actively striving to increase their influence in, what could possibly go wrong Mr.Trump ?

In 1930 American politicians decided to significantly increase tariffs \nand 25 other countries immediately responded by imposing significant tariffs\non American products and the trade war made the depression significantly worse.\n\nTrump's trade war won't likely lead to a depression but it will make things \nworse for almost everyone.\n\nExpect higher inflation, economic stagnation and also economic disruption \nas American companies can't suddenly and magically create new production \nto replace imports and can't do it as cheaply or they would already have been doing that\nand American exporters are going to face tariffs and sanctions imposed \non their products by other countries.\n\nThe extremely integrated car manufacturing industries in the United States, Canada and Mexico could be thrown into chaos.\nAn average car part crosses a border about 8 times during production.\nHow the heck do high tariffs deal with that standard car production situation?\n\nTrump would know all this if he thought about history or\nabout how the North American economy works or thought at all\nbut thinking is not something that appeals to Trump.\nInstead he just spouts out whatever random idea pops into his head \nand calls it policy.

It’s very clear that Trump will tighten the rules in US, and close their borders. Then all scrap people, refugees, asylum seekers, homeless, illegal, terrorist people will land up in Canada because our immigration rules are so weak, border security is so weak, everything is weak , policies are worst. And above all we have worse politicians Traitor Trudeau and Terrorist Jagmeet. It’s all happening because of these two rascals ! Canada is becoming like a third world country

The process is not the same as it was in the 80s when they did not require renewal every couple yrs w high $ and rules to return to home country for a set amount of time risking losing your home/job/business etc. Some renewal process for green cards have sped up but still takes 6-1yr and a new green card renewal and new one for Mexico can take 1-3yrs for approval. So someone that’s been here +20yrs will have to leave everything they have built here to go wait quite a long time. Its not if you agree how they got here, its what they have done in our country since being here. They add to our economy, +80% pay taxes to never get any of those benefits and they open businesses employing people etc. If they have been here committing a list of crimes then no i don’t agree but majority of immigrants don’t do that. I agree our border needs protection and security. Majority of the left do agree w that but gop don’t want solutions they want to just shut it down completely and thats not right. We have always been a country of opportunity and growth for everybody. If we had a good border bill that they could all agree on fe border act was bipartisan til Trump didnt want to “give dems a win” which it would have given more $ for more judges to help speed up the process for asylum cases and put more agents on the border and more security at checkpoints which is where most fentanyl is caught. Ignorant republicans like boebert sharing the story of a big fentanyl bust at the border her reaction was “we need border security now!” Like who does she think caught that? Border security she think we dont have i guess. But there are alot of things that could be helped and sped up if we just had politicians that could agree, you have bipartisans that support then you have the handful like trump is the puppet master that shuts good things down for partisanship reasons. It’s sad bc the people are tired of this divisive behavior. To run on a problem instead of solutions!

We have exactly the same problem here in the UK. Politicians talk tough on immigration but when they get in power and see the books, they open the borders.\n\nWhat do i mean by the books. Im talking of slowing down population growth which is unable to support paying pensions to old geezers...they have a change of heart. \n\nNobody likes immigration till when they are told that the pension purse dad and mom paid into when they were younger, is now no longer able to pay them after retirement. This is why politicians change direction when tbey finally get in power. Like Trudeau so will it be with Pierre. Like Rishi Sunak, so will it be with Keir Starmer. Like Joe Biden so will it be with a Trump. \n\nFor me i dont care who comes in. I just care that they work hard, be good neighbours, dont cause problems to those that they met here...and work hard to pay me my pension when i get old cos i paid into the purse thats supporting the old geezers now.\n\nIm British. Ive got a Canadian Visa that i dont need. I dont fancy visiting a place where access to healthcare is troublesome. \nAnd I love seeing my fellow Africans here cos Africans are hardworking people.

As a Filipino watching the economy of USA from afar, I think that no other politician has shown significant concern to help its economy except for Trump. He's pretty bold and not scared to voice out issues that make the democrats uncomfortable. It is not for me to decide who others will vote. However, I see a leader in Trump and he's not afraid to fight back. It's only a matter of time for the Chinese to create its own microchips that are of novelty and prestige. Their economy is of course stagnant as of the moment because many foreign companies pulled out from China. Nevertheless, do you think it's going to be forever? They will cope and soon establish theirs given their population and government financial backing. Trump was right to put trade war against them to regulate foreign trade as it did with Japan. All countries will suffer when the dollar loses the international prestige. It is fastly losing it's international reputation as of these days. If this won't halt, imagine a future where the Chinese RMB will be the basis of international trade. You don't know the real plan of the Silk Road guys. Americans are conquerors and we have adjusted with their ways already. And, the Chinese are conquerors as well. Their goal is to really surpass the USA. The rise of China has benefited every ASEAN member, but greatly the former than the latter. We can adjust with their ways. However, America and Europe may not be that ready to adjust their ways for them should they surpass USA. The USA has become complacent and too liberal where individual rights, although important, have gone too far-fetched. This has created entitled individuals who think they own the world. Now, look at the Chinese. While most young Americans are busy dancing in TikTok and the likes of wasting time for entertainment, most young Chinese are studying hard and upskilling. Let's remember that America became great because of its inventions and extremely the nuclear power. Without great minds, minds that are feebled by drugs and misguided philosophies, a society will crumble. USA can use its weapons and influences against other countries, but can it hold the progress of it's rival economy for the rest of the years? You guys need a leader who is competitive and won't back down from a fight. As of these days, given only two political candidates to choose for presidency, I dare say that Trump has a higher bidding for the goodness of USA. Of course he wasn't able to accomplish his plan before after you guys impeached him. How the hell can a leader complete its plan after being halted unprecedentedly amid his administration? Kamala Harris looks promising but not convincing. Aura, although unquantifiable, do speak something. Choose your leader and it will choose your fate. Let's hear what the two sides will share this upcoming debate. If I'm American, whoever wins that debate, wins my heart. As easy as that. You see, if someone can be defeated so easily in his or her country through debate, do you think that whoever that someone who wins will be able to compete globally? Think of the likes of Putin and Xi Jinping. Think of a leader who can communicate with them effectively. That's all for me. Thank you

This is insane !\nUSA is broke 35 Trillion in debt and Biden spending like a drunk sailor we’ll lose our Country!\nPray for Trump 2024 -and all new politicians that can balance a check book!

Fabulous video! US viewer here. But we often vacationed in Quebec’s Laurentians and our daughter went to Ontario’s University of Toronto for her undergraduate degree about 15 years ago. UofT was rigorous, to say the least, but she did it in 4 years, unlike some of her peers. She LOVED it, and made many friends, including internationals. They’ve stayed close on FB, and even get together (some flying in from other countries, including the Middle East and Asia) every 2 years or so back in Toronto. We’ve found the easiest way to make friends is by going to university or college together and living in residence, rather than once we’ve enter the workforce.\n\nThat said, and as unpolite as it may be, the root of Canada’s problems are exactly its politics. IMO Canada’s misguided liberal policies are to blame for its stratospheric taxes, cost of housing, increasing crime, tolerant drug culture, and deteriorating health care system. That Canada now encourages voluntary euthanasia to reduce health care costs should say it all. Margaret Sanger would be proud. And it promises to get worse as long as Justin Trudeau and his ilk are in power. His lionizing climate change intervention at the expense of what really impacts Canadians is sheer madness. Conservative Party Pierre Poilievre and like-minded politicians could fix it all.\n\nHappily, here in the US, the conservative movement is growing and energized. Once-liberal, especially ‘minority,’ voters are understanding how little the left really offers in the long run, and are switching sides. They’ll be voting for Trump in November.

US - the problem is when there are obvious problems you have a system that allows big money into politics, which allows for lobbying, which in my opinion is legal bribery. The idea that politicians had ( or have ) NRA ratings for supporting openly guns and not implementing the most logical of common sense gun control. \nHealthcare - in Canada, not having the healthcare tied to your employer actually makes Canadians a more free country. There are a lot of Canadians in the arts ( musicians, painters etc. ) that have the freedom to pursue any employment that wish, and not worry about the health benefits. \nIt kind of surprises me that you were surprised about school shootings. From what we see, that is not happening all in big cities. Sandy Hook was the worst. To think that Congress didn't do a thing after that, is reason enough not to want to move there.\nAnd Donald Trump has soured my wanting to ever even go there on holiday. Unbelievable that after two years, so many Americans believe anything he says, when he claims that he won in 2020 with not even a ounce of evidence to the contrary. There is not even a theory that would explain his claims. The mistrust of Americans with each other stems from people like Trump and Fox news. \nI think as you said - Healthcare alone is enough for almost any Canadian. I don't know anyone that owns a gun, I don't know of anyone who has gone bankrupt for being sick, and I never worry my granddaughter going to school and being shot.

This is all happening under Joe Biden you know sleepy Joe.? I am no fan of Donald Trump believe you met but Joe Biden is too old to run these politicians are like old willow trees you just won't let go of Life in politics. So Joe Biden to know much better against these people coming into our country after 178,000 came in under his watch alone then Trump did. But Biden is too old no countries afraid of them roshes out-of-control China ?️ property that's not theirs, and let's just face it and let's just say it the Democrats are not only pushing their own agenda which is dismissing everybody else's voice but don't agree with them this is the group that came from Facebook Google and Twitter where they spent 25 years being brainwashed and brainwashing others and they also suffer from the effects of covid. Political correctness is absolutely crazy and not everybody's going to get along just cuz you silence people's voices and refused to give white people rights or loans you cannot make right what happened 850 years ago let's stop trying let's move on and let's make everybody feel like their voice matters and just because their experience is different than yours doesn't mean that there were trumpster a liar a wacko.

So sad , millions and millions of people are suffering. And no one cares. And then we as Americans let idiots lead us and run our country like Biden and trump and all the other corrupt treasonous politicians. It’s time the free people of the world take a stand and take back what is ours.

This is what happens when you have a 3rd generation spoiled entitled brat like Trudeau and his twin brother, Biden, a 48 yr dementia ridden politician. No leadership and what exist is wishy washy spineless political steps. You may not like Trump but he did his job. Canada and U.S. has lost its way. Leading the way on making news fake is CNN and MSNBC...cancer

All Joe Biden’s doing! At the end of the day, you cannot enter into this country illegally! That’s the law! I agree with Trump, we don’t mind immigrants coming to the country ,, we just want you all to do it legally, otherwise you shouldn’t be over here ,,, period! You all have to abide by the laws just like everyone else! Look at how you all are trying to Bogard your way in , and you all have no regards for the laws of the land we live in! Maybe we should get Trump back in office because he had complete control of this border like this country has ever seen ! In addition, it is not the fault of the United States that there is so much poverty in your country, nor is it our responsibility to reduce the level of poverty in your country! That’s why you all have politicians in your country! Its not our fault that corruption in your country has led to the impoverished situation that exists in your country! This is down right disrespectful to the United States!\nI personally would send all of you all back and require that you go back to your country and do this the legal way!

Why don't these people vote in a candidate like Trump in their own countries? So their own economies will do well and the police will fight crime. Instead of fleeing to the US and Canada and voting in politicians similar to the ones who ruined the countries they came from.

Liberal politicians and world leaders are trying to portray they have open borders and lax immigration laws to ale Trump look bad when in reality their laws are more strict and heavily enforced. They say one thing for optics and an agenda but have an entirely different reality. Most countries will not give you a true citizenship like the US and have iron clad strictly enforced immigration laws. Such as Canada and Mexico. Beware socialist/ communist ideology! It is the downfall of an empire!

Ironically he's been in the USA and Canada and hasn't learned English? \nSeems like if you truly wanted to assimilate you would leaned the English language? \nIts shameful how the Prime minister of Canada shamed Trump on immigration on international TV,\nBut now that it's a problem and Canada is doing the same things the USA has done, your sure dont hear all the snowflakes liberals yelling and threatening Canada or its politicians.
