Turn of power to the u.s.\nThe orange clown is a puppet of the oligarchs.

4:10 this guy has no right to talk to the American people. Almost as if he is trying to turn American people againts its own government. Pretty sure thats an act of war. 1995—Subsec. (j). Pub. L. 104–65, §9(1)(A),

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.

Angry camp guy. Needs to turn down the emotion a bit and tap into some realism. He sounds and looks like hes acting in a drama. Cringe.

Ahh turn your back on your friends and exalt your enemies, got it!

It’s about turning America into an Oligarchy and transferring the cost of government to the working class!

Trump is a sociopathic dumbass.... this will hurt america in the long run. ALL allies are turning away from that toxic US policies.... bye bye US Dollar and US ignorance will hurt you soon...

Well done Canada, the UK is so proud of you fighting off the Bully that is president Trump, who is turning his back your back against the world, whilst supporting the war criminal Putin. Listen to the world America Trump is the person causing all these problems for you. Do something about him, Vance and Musk.

Canada should shut the lights out on the US north east and turn off the oil and gas pipelines. Just a day or two. That should educate Trump as his maga morons that our relationship is reciprocal and mutually beneficial. The most recent trade agreement was negotiated and signed by Trump himself and he hailed it as the best trade deal ever.

2. TRUDEAU IS JUST A PUPPET FOR THE GLOBAL ELITES\n\nCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not defending Canada—he is defending the deep state agenda.\n\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau more upset about Trump’s tariffs than he is about China’s infiltration of Canada?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau defending globalist trade deals instead of fighting to keep Canada’s economy strong?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau suddenly trying to turn Americans against Trump right as NATO and the EU are pushing for war?\n\nBECAUSE THIS IS A COORDINATED ATTACK.\n\n? Trudeau is panicking because Trump is taking away their power.\n? Trudeau is working with the globalists to weaken America.\n? Trudeau knows his country depends on the U.S., and if America stops playing their game, Canada collapses too.\n\nThis is why he is attacking Trump, calling him “dumb” on CNN, and trying to manipulate the American people into turning against their own president.

Will the rest of the free world have to turn their backs on America before the cult followers of Trump to wake up and face the truth that their orange god is a disgrace and makes a rock seem intelligent?

How has everyone so quickly forgotten the reason for these tariffs. Canada has not stemed the flow of fentanyl. They contuine to poison their own people and ours. We ask them to stop or we impose tarrifs, they say they will stop, then they do not stop. Trudeau is full of bullsh!t go to our northern border in WA or NY and just ask the locals. They see the illegals all the time. They cross the border and then call for help. Its gotten so bad that if you do call to turn yourself in and get a court date, border patrol has a daily wait time of 1 1/2 to 2 hours just to make initial contact. Think about that, what about the criminals and smugglers who dont call.

Every leader of the free world needs to tell trdumps like it is. Putin owns trdumps and he is turning the USA over to his puppet master dictator murderous thug so take care of yourselves allies because this is exactly what Putin has wanted forever

Trump will turn to Russia for what he loses elsewhere. This is who the US voted for.

Russian lovers & traitors side with Trump; REAL patriotic Americans hate Trump. When he tried to overthrow our government, that should have been ENOUGH for every good person to turn their back on The GOP. Tariffs are NOT, by far, the worst thing Trump has done.

We are less than two months into DJT's term, and I have to say it's turning out much worse than I expected (and I thought it would be pretty bad). It is terribly depressing to see the country fail while roughly half of it's people cheer it on. We're seeing the fall of the US in real-time, and I'm not sure how we come back from this. I'm exhausted, and we're just getting started.

Well said, PM Trudeau. You assessment of the situation is more than impressive. The world has been turned upside down by an aging megalomaniac who wears fake tan and he is damaging all of us, including Americans. Unfortunately, a third of them haven't understood that yet. The saddest part of all this is that his especially harsh treatment of Canada is probably because Trudeau's good looks and that photo with Melania..

The Canadian government imposed sanctions on Rwanda on something Canadians don't know anything about, and they chose to punish the people of Rwanda for their own benefits in DRC, now that the tables are turning on them just for tariffs they are crying talking to the american people directly as if they care. \nThe hypocrisy of these countries and their politicians is on another level

I’m an American (I’m embarrassed to say) but I am proud to say I completely oppose Trump & Musk’s plan to turn us into or over to Russia. They are in alliance with the corrupt project 2025 and Putin. They are traitors to America. Sadly the world must not trust them. They LIE. They are actively destroying the USA. Trump and Musk need to rule Mars. DEPORT BOTH OF THEM TO SPACE. I support Canada, Gaza, Greenland and Mexico. I WOULD DEPORT TRUMP AND MUSK IF I COULD. They are CRIMINALS and have no legitimacy in my America. Dirty Traitors.

It's time to bring your trade elsewhere and turn off the energy sales. No need to argue with a nut case who wants to annex your country.

Nobody ever said, with a straight face, that the orange blob is a smart man. \nThey need to turn off the power they send to the US. They need to order Starlink out of their country. They need to put a 100% tariff on all Tesla products, all products from Kentucky, Tennessee, floridumb, texass, and every other red state. They voted for this, it's what they wanted, so make it hurt hard.

And Ronald Reagan just turned over in his grave.....

No one wins in Tariffs, its a tit for tat. Trump fail to understand his bully boy tactics only work on the vurnable. Countries dont pay this tax consumers do. Tariffs hurt the consumers with high prices and people jobs. US is alienating themselves and there allies will turn away towards other friendlier nations.

Norway stand with you Canada in support, you held a good speech??!\n\nI look forward to seeing the outcome of the tariffs the U.S. imposes on other countries, which are then retaliated against. When the U.S. imposes tariffs on other countries and those countries retaliate, it can lead to several negative consequences. First, American consumers may face higher prices on both imported and domestic goods affected by retaliatory tariffs. U.S. exporters could lose market share in key markets, and American companies relying on global supply chains may experience higher costs. This could also trigger trade wars, reducing global trade and hindering economic growth. Increased uncertainty may reduce investments in the U.S., and in the long term, the U.S. could lose economic influence if other countries form alternative trade agreements. Countries turning their backs on the U.S. will eventually lead to the U.S. isolating itself. We can continue to trade among ourselves, build growth together, and watch the U.S. crumble from the outside. By the way i also respect and love the American people, just not the goverment today and how they treat others, allies and friends.

As a European having lived in both Canada and the United States for prolonged times, my view is this: Canadians are basically the same as Americans but with Health Care. They have a common heritage and history and this is like a brother turning evil and hurting its siblings. Trump is smart? I don't think so, he comes across as a low IQ individual born with privileges, heck he has been bankrupt what is it four times? Right now he thinks he is making America Great again but instead he is on a path to bankrupt even the US Economy. These kind of things in history often have caused actual physical War and he talks about Zelenski is toying with a 3rd world war. Wouldn't it be funny (and not in a comical sense) if in fact Trump causes the 3rd world war with his actions instead?

Terrorist don't affect governments they affect the people that's why Trump blew it and made another fucking stupid mistake the Importer pays a higher price he turns around and just raises the price to the American Consumer people not even knowing really how much they got raised but they usually toss in a little bit extra and then blame it on the government that's how dumb this is

Don't listen to the media. Trudeau is an idiot who destroyed our great country of Canada. Most Canadians are against him here. He turned our great country from a peacekeeper to an aggressor, just so the Liberals stay in power. Trump and JD Vance are correct. Zelensky has no cards to dictate the terms of agreement. He cannot just keep receiving billions of dollars from the USA with no accountability, and continue the war for years and years while he profits and stays in power. Enough is enough.

I am a proud Canadian and have no love for Trudeau but more important, I fear for the American people. America was once the institution of democracy but has recently taken a very sharp turn and is heading towards the ideals of Russian communism. I hope that level forward thinking will soon prevail so that we can live in peace again in both of our wonderful countries.

Ah yes the drama teacher turned corrupt liberal dictator who has RUINED CANADA over the last 9 years!! He makes me sick! He doesn't give 2 ? ? about groceries and gas prices for us. He spent $81,000 of Canadian tax dollars on his own grocery bill this year - yeah! That's $1557 a week or $257 a day stuffing his face. That doesn't even include his dining out. He's a liar and needs to disappear like he said he would ?

The convicted felon dicktator-in-the-making said he wanted Canada's economy 2 b destroyed so he can bankrupt my country. He said it out loud. Yet, everybody was/is distracted with his talk about drugs/people smuggling from here 2 the U.S. \nWe need 2 turn the lights out NOW in the U.S. waste no more time, as the c.f. dick. has four more years.

I just don't stand with Canada. I stand with any country he's bullying. Yes, it's true that countries should pay their fair share of things, but this knucklehead is going over the top... letting an immigrant Elaine musk (who voted for him)take American jobs from the people who voted trump in (how you like him now) and align our country with one of satan's best men vladimir POOTIN ... I'd like to be at the gates of heaven when trump and pootin arrive & get turned away

This is a signal to the world that the US can no longer trusted. If it can easily turn its back on its friends and neighbor, what more for those across the globe?

He should not be directing himself to us citizens. He should be directing his comments to our government. \n They will not turn us against our government

What Trump is planning is to lay down the ground work for grounds to leave NATO. After that putin will go to war with Europe which in turn anables Trump to go for Greenland and afterwards Canada\n\nIf not americans wakes up that could become a reality

Let's be blunt. A madman was propelled into the most powerfull position in the world because swing states tilted the outcome of this rigged election. A madman, an extremely deranged individual that will turn the US into a mirror image of putin's russia. Explain to me why people chose to vote against themselves? Some people chose to allow a madman to drag them into their own destruction, I did not!

Nervous hands of Justin Tradeau!! Who blinks first is the key turning point in negotiation. Canada future is bleak with this guy as Prime minister

So it's ok for this PM to run his people into the ground with taxes until their back are broken. In turn, they get nothing. Then this loser turns around and wants 100 billion from America. Everything he said he did for America is something he should be doing anyway.

Dear Mexico. It's your turn.

Trudeau turn off the ⚡️ north eastern ?? you’ll see how Trump will panic and step back.

This is a sad day for Canadians our ally and friend has stabbed us in the back to take our country. Canadians are heart broken that this has happened. We do not understand why. I have always felt welcome travelling to the US and celebrate our shared values. It is in comprehensible that the US warms to Putin and turns its back on allies.

Turn off the USA power supply!

You said it “MAKE THAT MAKE SENSE” what a shit show this maggot has created.. turn off the power in NY and every other red state if possible! I love Canada and I do not blame you at all! Stand your ground and come hard and I mean hard!! Make Thea fu**era beg Canada!!

Can Trump turn back from this? his hubris wont let him

As someone who was born in the U.S. I can’t stand what this country has turned into. It’s despicable and disgusting. I will not stand for the national anthem and I encourage any other American to do so. I hope Canada takes trump down. Thank you Canada for being a great country and for standing up to bullies. Go Canada ??

I hope sincerely that Canada turns off electricity to the US. Many US citizens won't even know what is going on but they soon will do.

Canada has so many democratic allies around the world and Justin Trudeau is only enhancing that position..Meanwhile an idiot in the Whitehouse appears to be hell bent on turning USA into a pariah state.

There is a rogue Russian element in the White House. Putin has turned Trump and Vance into assets. This is a national emergency, and Trump, Vance, and their propagandist cabinet should be immediately arrested. In any other era they would have already been shot as Traitors.

He's going to turn America into a third world country Trump Elon. They are imbeciles and this is disgusting. This is horrible. They're opening us up for war. They're opening us up for a disaster. People are going to be starving. We're going to be standing in line for potatoes and toilet paper like it's Russia

Canada will be turning off all electricity to the USA. This is scary for the USA.

Trump is a Russian agent and the economic war he is waging will give the upper hand to Putin and the Russian federation and all this is only the beginning ? trump will stir unrest and division which will eventually turn into a full scale civil war in America and spread across the globe ? trump is a Heretic president for all the world to see
