Trump is a Russian mole and a traitor to the United States ?? he is trying to destroy our country

the united states allows the flow of drugs into our nation and then we blame other nations for the problem we create and prop up. the cia has a long history of drug running. the war on drugs is literally a way to aide and abet cartels? why is it the cartels have us military hardware? americans love using drugs, thats just the simple truth. and now trump is doing everything in his power to allow the large corporations to increase their prices for their goods with these tariffs. its why his first term added 8 trillion to the debt and he is scheduled to add even more this time in 4 years. trump caused the inflation to help the super wealthy and corporations. and now he is doing it again. and americans are too stupid to realize it.

Don't say the United State, say dumb Dump and his team....I'm with Canada, Justin Trudeau & John Ford. It's going to hurt us I hate what that idiot is doing not only to us but to Canada & Mexico. Just a pathetic source of junk taking up space on earth.

President Trump is working with Putin. Don't be surprised if he lets Russian ships into the United States

United States is not safe because trump ally to dictador socialist Putin north Korea china in the national security is in dangerous

Please do not think that the United States did this. Trump did it. We hate him. We wish he would go away. Forever. Nd take all his quislings with him.

We don't want this either, Canada! We are appalled of Trump's actions, and are looking to leave the United States before we are forced to bow down to Putin! We love you, Canada!!!

We need to add export taxes on all petroleum products and electricity transfers to the United States from Canada .. Do it Now ..

Canada: There are plenty of Americans 100% with you and the rest of our allies. These are not my presidents (we apparently have two) and my sincere hope is that they will not only be removed from office very soon, but thereafter tried, prosecuted, and imprisoned for high treason against the United States and for defrauding its people. Those of us not fully brainwashed by the right-wing propaganda apparatus are seething with rage and focused on fast and appropriate justice, however it must be achieved. This criminal behavior masquerading as politics will be punished to the maximum extent of the very laws that are being scoffed at by Trump, Vance, Musk, and the rest of the mafioso GOP. History will correct those that choose to remain in tow to lawlessness and treason, and oligarchic fascism will not hold sway in our nation. Let this moment be a powerful reminder of how fragile democracy is and how vigilant we all must be to preserve it.

This is a leader Canada can be proud of, unfortunately look what we have in the United States. A complete disgrace

He wants to be like Putin. He wants to rule the country as an authoritarian state with his oligarchs. He’s purging the institutions from those who oppose him, intimidating his allies. People have no real power, unless millions will unite and come out to protest, and if the protests will last for months. The press is being censored, no more uncomfortable press in the White House. The propaganda is working overtime. They are actively distorting reality to confuse people. There’s no way back if what’s left from American democracy won’t take actions now. They are moving very fast.

Please stop saying the United States did this. The chump in charge did it. I want nothing to do with anything this administration does

Yeah, except that major companies such as Honda and others have decided to open factories in the United States, which brings jobs and money back to the economy.

I think Trudeau missed the memo on what reciprocal tariffs mean! By the way we don't need Canadas energy when they Say they're going to so-called turn off the energy to America that means literally nothing five minutes of research will tell you that the United States does not need Canadas energy! Absolute empty threat!\n\nBy the way to anybody in the comments section that doesn't know what they're talking about and just listens to cnn so far these tariffs have secured 1.7 trillion US dollars in just three months brought manufacturing back to the United States honda is now leaving their location in Canada and building in the United States same with American car manufacturers in Mexico. \n\nWe won and I find this so funny you guys are flipping out we have socalled Americans joining Canada's side just because they're anti Trump. absolute clowns!

Question for citizens living in states of Washington, Oregon and California. \n\nHow many of you would consider seceding this Union (formerly called the United States) to become a separate nation? Or be open to join Canada as the 11th Province? \nImagine now trade could be done directly with Mexico!!! \n\nEnough thumbs up and maybe we could start a “Petition”. I would be open (a DON scientist recently fired by Musk/MAGA) to collecting the data and involving lawyers to draft the petition.

I am embarrassed to be a citizen of the United States now. It’s disgusting how we have allowed a completely unqualified and morally corrupt individual to become our President once again. What has happened to our country? We used to care about each other and our individual rights. We were willing to fight for the weak and help others around the world. We soon will be isolated as our allies turn their backs on us. Is that when Trump will join hands with Russia and China to create a communist block of power?

I wish Rump would just GO AWAY ... and take all of his repubs with him !! United States is now the a$$hole country !!!!!! Thank you for everything, Canada. I support Canada and Ukraine !

Tariffs on China and Mexico but not on Canada. China, Mexico and Russia are the main enemies of the United States not Canada.

Well unfortunately it's no longer the United States of America it's now Trumpland. From an American im personally sorry for what Trump is doing. ?

You know what even a sadder thing is... Trump could not even give a speech like this, he does not have the ability to speak with even a semblance of intelligence without his full attention on a teleprompter. So, if you look at it all from this perspective it makes sense.. A complete ignorant baffoon and his circus clowns are in control of the United States government.

I am a United States Marine Corps Veteran and I stand with Canada ?? and the World against our Fascist Criminal Convicted Felon President of the United States Donald J. Trump and his Administration of Thugs!!!

The United States ?? doesnt owe Canada anything. Thats Canada's problem now. Everyone is getting charged

Canada's only got a 63,000 soldiers that isn't enough to protect Maryland let alone Canada we get billions of dollars to protect a foreign country and never asked anything in return Donald Trump ask Canada to help secure the border on Canada side and they are complaining throwing a hissy fit it would be one thing if Canada was providing for itself without the United States. And refused to do such a small little task. \n\nBut when we are giving billions of dollars to Canada's defense and they throw such a hissy fit over a little bitty test it's time to stop all trade with them. \n\nThe armed citizens of the United States to invade Canada, I mean think about it. 63.000 soldiers is all that's protecting Canada \n\nIt would be absolutely nothing for the US citizens to take Canada less than 1% of the firearms in the United States

Thanks for speaking the truth!! The United States is no longer and allie to Democratic Europe and Canada. The United States has aligned with Russa and is now part of the Axis of Evil.

I would say if you stop the flow of drugs into our country like Trump asked you to do and tighten up the border. There would be no problem whatsoever at all, but you say you’re an honest person and you want to get along with everyone well, just stop the drugs from coming in in East Terrace won’t be on there. Trump hasn’t seen any easing up on that border over there and things would be back to normal so it’s it’s sad he had to do that but then your retaliating and what does it do it does nothing yes Canada is gonna suffer and we’re gonna suffer here in the United States all because of your stubbornness and hardness I’ve seen over the years how you text the hell out of your own Canadian citizens and that’s why they don’t like you there, but that has nothing to do with it so

The United States? No you mean Donald Duck!?

It’s time for Canada, Greenland, Mexico, Panama, and Europe to start thinking about a policy of containment against the United States.

Dear Mr. President Trump, would you please reconsider welcoming these wonderful fellow North Americans living in these TEN Canadian Provinces, not as the 51st State, but as TEN States, when being invited into the United States of America? These Canadian Provinces being Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan.\n\nSuggested is to make Canada’s existing 10 Provinces into 10 individual United States States. Canada will benefit with a strong 10 State influence within 60 United States governance affairs. Benefits are 10 more States on a balanced display welcomed as 10 white stars within the beautiful United States of America field of Blue of our Flag. Other countries will see North America’s Great Power when 60 glorious States, when combined, and working well together, communicating best when communicating with each other only in English, when English is the United States official National Language. No more Government waste of having multi language signage. Another geologically considered North American country, Greenland, with 4 more territories may wish to add four more States, as well as the many existing United States Territories across the globe may desire Statehood. The Sun will never set on the United States. As for 10 Canadian States, think of the  benefit of 20 mostly conservative thinking U.S. Senators which equals a larger majority of conservative votes in the larger U.S. Senate when composed of 120 Senatorial political leaders. 120 U.S. Senators keep the Filibuster procedure balanced. 10 Canadian Provinces converted into 10 United States States equals many more conservative House of Representatives votes enhancing the conservative majority of political leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives. So many good reasons why Canada’s 10 Provinces, with a mostly conservative thinking population of thinkers, should be transformed into 10 new United States States, not just one United States. Yes....10 more States that is the helpful way forward for the United States to have a very dominant conservative thinking population of United States Congress Political Leaders, resulting in a long term more stable United States Congress representing 60 United States, thinking more conservative, thinking more logical, thinking more common sense thoughts, thinking more capitalist job creation thoughts, thinking more tax cut thoughts, are just some of the benefits of having 60 United States of America States on  display, and functioning efficiently going forward for all the World’s Countries to marvel at.

I have immense compassion for the non magas of the United states of America. From Montréal, Québec.

Hey its Governor Trudeau of the future 51st state of the united states of America!

We dont care about your comments mr canada leaders. And have full Respect to the United States of America and the president mr Donald Trump and his administration. Period.

I stand for the United States of America and support President Trump.

How about a 25% increase on the price of electricity that Canada supplies to the United States?

Good on you Canada ❤ the United States of Russia has no one to blame but themselves

Why does Donald Trump hate the United States and it's citizens?

I’m now officially renaming the United States of America to the United States of Russia

What happens when Russia and the USA merge and Russian becomes the 2nd official language of the United States. Scary times USA

Canada showing unity looks like something that United States don't know about . He's proven he's a better leader than Trump will ever be in life

American Citizens, band together your local communities in your districts and states. Take in all the information you can about the decisions our government has made, make it concise and to the point, speak to your voted representatives. Make your promise to un-elect if they don't follow the will of the people. There's nothing stronger than the unity of the United States of America, it's time to prove that we are able to unify again, for real.

I so wish that the great leaders of other countries would just say Donald Trump in stead of saying the United States of America. Because we, the average American citizen find Trump’s illogical decisions ruinous for all of us

We in the United States offer apologies to our Canadian Neighbors for the actions of our ill mannered Toddler of a President.

Someone will lose and trust me it won't be the united states you are on the verge of bankruptcy already

Why does he continue to provoke the US president? He resigned and rather step down with dignity, he chooses cause as much damage before he leaves. Justin Trudeau bears full responsibility for the burdens Canadians now face. He imposed and continually increased the carbon tax, draining the pockets of hardworking citizens while offering little in return. He neglected Canada’s NATO commitments, failing to uphold our obligations on the world stage. His tenure has been marred by repeated ethical scandals, each one a testament to his disregard for integrity in leadership. \n\nNow, as the weight of his missteps comes full circle, he faces the consequences of his own policies. The economic strain he placed on his own people is now mirrored in the tariffs and pressures from the United States—a reckoning of his own making. And even in his resignation, rather than stepping aside with dignity, he continues to provoke President Trump with baseless rhetoric, further endangering Canada’s relationship with its greatest ally. \n\nTrudeau’s legacy will not be one of progress, but of division, economic hardship, and lost opportunities. And now, he reaps what he has sown.

Bravo President Trudeau! We Americans are screwed! Trump doesn't have it in him to admit he has BAD ideas or is wrong. Canada we Americans wish our President spoke the way yours did today. Please pray for the United States. We are facing the enemy within.

VIVE LE CANADA ?? We will never be your 51st State. We know this will hurt but we are tough, we are united and we will NOT back down.

I stand with Canada from United States. Don’t buy Tesla also

It wasn’t us the people of the United States. We didn’t do it Trump did it blame Trump and musk

Canada is about to get crushed, cant take advantage of the United States anymore

The United States supplements Canada with billions of dollars a year.\nThey about to get cut off!! ??????

Another note regarding fentanyl, as an American I do not see it as a Canadian/Mexican problem. Canada nor Mexico want to sell Fentanyl. Drugs are a United States problem. We, citizens of the United States are the problem. It’s time to look at ourselves instead of blaming the rest of the world. Lets stop being the worlds largest drug market.
