Trump already bankrupted 6 companies if not more. Now he’s going to bankrupt Americans. Are we winning yet?

I called the Canadian embassy in Washington DC this morning. I told them as an American citizen. It saddens me and breaks my heart that we are treating our allies with such disrespect. I do not stand with the United States government and their treatment of our allies. I also called the Mexican embassy and told them the same thing. I didn’t announce Trump in his cabinet and what they’re doing to our economy that we have worked so hard to resurrect again after he was president last time. I, urge every person who does not agree with what is going on to call the Canadian and the Mexican embassies and just let them know that we stand in solidarity with them and against our government here!

my fellow americans its gotten to the point where we going to have to bleed in order to take this country back we need to organize and stop this trump stuff once and for all

We’re only vacationing in Canada until trump is OUT! Go Canada!!!! ??

So...Trump bankrupt some 30 of his own companies. Now he is going to bankrupt our nation. I do not support the stupidity of these tariffs.

I hate shit like this done to Canada im from America Trump needs to go

As a Canadian - ALL OF US ARE AGAINST TRUMP & will show how we can come together. We are not divided. We will stand tall for each other - we don't go against our allies !

Everyone thinks that this is Canada standing up, but what this means is that the Canadians with our economy that is 1/10 that of the US will be taxed at 25% on our imports, this is going to hurt canadians way more than the retaliatory terrifs will hurt the americans. This may also lead to an escalated response from the US exacerbating the effect. Trudeau and others can't seem to grasp that there may be a long term strategy from Trump and this is playing into it. \n\nThe truth of all of it is that Trump does not like Justin Trudeau or the Liberal government.

Trudeau you really don’t care about Canadians. Please spare all of us. Please stop representing us. Go away. You have been taxing Canadians to the maximum. You have treated us exactly like Trump. You both care about ONLY YOURSELF

Trump is a total disaster for all Americans except the $Billionaires. But it wasn't the $Billionaires who voted Trump into office, it was the millions of MAGA Morons, the very people who are now losing their jobs in thousands as Musk takes an axe to everything. Tariffs on America's main trading partners means that the American consumers, many of them MAGA Morons, are going to be hit a lot harder in the pocket as prices on their goods rocket. I only feel sorry for the Americans, who saw this coming and voted against Trump. For all the MAGA Morons, don't cry help, you brought this on yourself !!! Here in the UK we support Canada 100% !!!

So are you going to be a tough guy against Donald Trump the United States been protecting your country for its conception maybe you need to go visit him in the Oval Office and get school on what a pansy you are go ahead and talk to Donald might just close your border to America you don't you don't have the cards you don't have the balls be tough guy he'll slap a 50% tear upon you and then maybe he'll say take a hike a jerk Trudeau come on wake up

Canadá is my favorite neighbor and I hope that this Republican caused ass kissing of Putin gets resolved soon! What our leaders have done to our great neighbors is sickening ! This is all done to make the Rich Richer and to Hell with those in need!\n Not One Republican will speak up! Then the sad,sad thing they did to a country lastly looking for help against Putin!\n They submarines him in a setup, all preset, and this man more of a man Than any Republican will ever be VOLADAMER ZELENSKY HE IS A REAL HERO Trump has to go!

Trump is an idiot, the US people are going to suffer because of him.\n\nTrump will face a backlash from the American people very soon.

FROM ARGENTINA I support Trump on this!!! The USA should balance goods trade and blow up deficit! Milei in Argentina has eliminated deficit for the first time after 123 years in Argentina's history, making economy and investment start growing. Mexico and Canada are taking advantage, Go Trump!!!

Let’s go Trudeau ?? this Pariah Govt must Go. Well said without casting Blame and Whining using propaganda and having weasels like musk and all his appointees to do these sick acts this is the darkest chapter in American history. I’m happy to see Canada and Mexico are the lights at the end of the tunnel. Trump and Co. Are weak individuals, there way is not the American way they can go to Russia with that nonsense.

Trump's actions with these tarrifs are idiotic. We Canadians are going to fight this stupidity with intelligence.

? What a clown. We have our own stuff. We don't NEED Canada. They need us! It's only a matter of time before Canada folds. Go Trump Go!!

Go Mr Trudeau!!!\n\nGreat to see such leadership in standing up to the fool that is Trump.\n\nRational. Factual. Impactful.\n\nPlease world - start standing up to Trump’s idiocy like this. It is world class leadership. And sense.

I would like to thank all the kind words from all over the world I see here. We as Canadians really appreciate it. It's going to be a tough time ahead for this country, but if no one else will stand up to Trump, we will.

trump s genie on tariffs is going to hammer average American that s 90 percent of America

I don't like Trudeau much but he can speak like a politician and what he says sounds like common sense. And then we got Trump, a six year old angry baby elephant and his sidekick JD Robin, the couch lover and ass licker, scamming and bullying basically everyone except Putler. Talk about a pathetic narcissist psychopath, and the hillbillies who voted for him should go join Russia on the frontline. I know they're too fat and they would shoot in the wrong direction but the Russians are on the same level

Canada couldn't hurt the USA IF THEY TRIED FOR HUNFRED YEARS YOU SIR HAVE ONE OPTION ALIGHN WITH OUR PRESIDENT OR YOU WIIL REGRET IT YOU AREA FOOL IF YOU THINK THIS FOOLISH PRESS conference is going to intimidate president Trump only a fool would try something like this so stupid.

Do a deeeepppp dives of Trump’s holdings and his building ventures and of those of his wealthy friends and see who really benefits from our inflation. One example is that Stocks will go down they will gobble them up and when it rebounds they will be even more wealthy.

Go Canada. We have lunacy and insanity here in the US. Trump is a traitor.

Every leader is playing into trumps hands!! People everywhere do not understand narcissistic personality disorder. By every leader, media reports talking about him phoning him pleading with him is all fuel!!!!This also tells his narcissism everyone is under control!! This makes him feel powerful! Society really needs to learn about narcissists. This situation calls for leaders to ignore him do not call him media needs to drop stories!! But society has been so heavily influenced by narcissism it just can’t let go of the profits this whole shit show is going to create. Oh and by the way all these politicians are narcissists as well and now this has threatened their control. And guess who gets to go along for the ride and the chaos they create.

The only they is Trump and the dumbasshats that voted him in office. Now when our vehicles cost going up, fuel, grocery, utilities. Basically everything we rely on because of this orange peel that is good because Elon bought him. Then the asshats will cry foul. Y’all voted him in office because he promised you cheaper eggs. Well a basic dozen of eggs is $7 and a ends about to be paying that for fuel, not to mention many of our states electricity is out of Canada.

The antiChrist that is Donald J. Trump has the objective of wreaking havoc and chaos all around so you Americans aren't going to know are coming or going. That's the only way he has power and domination over you. That's the truth, and you know it! You should get rid of him before he totally destroys the country.

Madafaking trump. Hate this guy with passion. What an a hole. His going to be the downfall of USA

I'm an American - Thank You Prime Minister For Your Kind And Compassionate Words.\nEverybody? TIE A KNOT AND HOLD ON... TRUMP IS TO AMERICA WHAT HAMAS IS TO GAZA!\nJust Like The Palestinians Voted In Hamas For GAZA, 52% of the American People Voted Trump In.\nNOW WE ARE ALL Going To Pay For It! - WERE ALL FUCKED!

Trump said he is going to fight back even stronger…this is really scary…thanks Justin you have been a great Prime zminister during very difficult times..GodBless

This is what a President sounds like. Eloquent, thoughtful and truthful. There is no comparison - Trump = imbecile, the other world leaders = intelligent. Get real America. Your country is going to hell in a hand cart.

Go Canada. Say fu to trump. Worst president in the history of America

To this man I say BRAVO BRAVO. GO FOR IT, DONALD DOESN'T RESPECT YOU OR YOUR COUNTRY DON'T BOTHER TO SHOW ANY RESPECT TO A CRIMINAL FELON SEXUAL ASSULTER GREEDY, SELFISH, POWER DRIVEN EGOMANIAC LUNITIC on a revenge tour to hurt America for the crybaby because we didn't vote for him in 2020, very much a applied demented orange poor loser. . THIS so called president trump, and the real PRESIDENT MUSKrat ARE DISRECPECTFUL hate filled idiots that put gold before humans. GO FOR IT, FIGHT BACK AND LET TRUMP KNOW YOU ARE STRONG AND ACTUALLY HAVE A MAJORITY BACKING BY THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES something Donald doesn't have and never did. Donald didn't even get half the votes after 8 years campaigning and all the muskrat money. We respect you and have no respect for maga. GO CANADA.

An other FACT ; don' t get FOOLED !!! : Liberals parti was about to LOOSE the Governance of Canada... BUT this "WAR" again President Trump was what the LIBERALS WANT !!!! Because now some stupids peoples have started to think the LIBERALS are now our "SAVIOR"... Witch is the VERY OPPOSITE of the TRUTH ... Justin Trudeau have to go HOME ...

The conservative party had a 26% lead going into our election this year. That was 2 weeks ago. Today the Liberals have a 2% lead in the polls. Trump is moving us to the left and that's the only good thing so far from this administration.

GO Canada. GO China. GO Mexico. Bring America to its knees. Let Trump know that you will not be bullied. Let Americans freeze, starve, and crawl in the streets. We don't want Trump. He is destroying our country. Biden was bad, but Trump is awful.

American Government is the most Corrupted system even more then it as ever been, this is sickening, Trump\nand Musk must go, all with all the corruption from Republicans and Democrats

Way to go, Trump and Musk both trashing our relationship with are closest allie.

Trump is completely unreasonable. There is no sense dealing with him, period. If it is going to be 25% or even 50% with reciprocal tariffs, we simply DO NOT import American goods into Canada (if our retailers don't order them, there is nothing they can do) and if we export, the consumer is paying those tariffs and we continue to manufacture. I honestly think that is the best, maybe the only, solution. If tariffed countries stop buying American goods, maybe Trumputin will reconsider. And if he doesn't, he doesn't. He isn't known for his brain power.

Trump must be removed from office immediately if u gonna save America \nBecause he is Putins marionett puppet and going his arrends and dismantle the great us of America. Safety. Government. Security and all allies i am crying to see this happen to a great nation with one lunatic people must stopp Donald immediately \nSorry from Sweden

Trump needs to go .. he's going to literally destroy everything the USA has accomplished.. not to mention the disgusting ideology he has of dictatorship . wake up fellow Americans.

Trump is going to bring the USA down

My Canadian health products I use for my colon has gone up 50% today. Unemployed, prices high at grocery store and my stock investments I use to survive and pay my bills tanked as market has reached bottom. Thanks to Trump we Americans will go on a recession and a depression soon.

Trump gives USA up for Putin. Next - he is going to break NATO.

Very strange what Trump is doing. 1. Sympathize with Putin. 2. Isolating Canada 3. Retrating USA troope from Europe...USA i think Trump want's to isolate you and make you go to war. Get him OUT !!!!

I’m appalled!!!!! what’s wrong with y’all? he’s mimicking Russia..!!!!!! Russia went after Ukraine Trump‘s going after Canada talking about making it into state trying to rob them all their minerals.!!! I can’t believe y’all that gullible you can’t see this. What the fuck 20:13

welcome to European life pay tax for everything, in EU we pay 20-30% of VAT and up 50% of our salary go to gov.. so yeah we poor in EU as we pay up to 70%-80% in taxes (depends on EU country) but basically yeah happy life.. basically we pay for healtcare and universities , so that 3rd world people could get free education .. I hope someone like trump will take wheel of EU.. there is no place for liberalism in future..

Starting a trade war with our trusted allies is an extremely stupid idea... But does Trump and his associates ever have a good idea?? I am glad Canada is standing up for what is correct!! Hearing Trudeau speak in the language of FACTS, LOGIC, and REASON is SO REFRESHING!!!! Go Trudeau!!!

Go TRUMP ❤

As an American that didn't vote for Trump and his parties. Go ahead and raise tariffs on America. We want Trump and his goons to fall flat on their faces.
