True Americans stand with America

No America! This is not MAGA. This is MaRGA - Make Russia Great Again! Wake up

America, your constitution an oath of office talk of protecting the country from tyranny both foreign and domestic, welll, Trump is that tyranny. This should never have to happen again but I think it's high time you threw your tea in the harbour and kick that self named king out of power.

America is the new baby russia. America is officially a communist-run nation. This is what americans voted for. So enjoy america, you deserve it so well ???????

Pay up the same way America does. Canada has tarrifs on America, but you cry when America puts tarrifs on your country. Man up little man. ????????????????

No Trudeau. America didn’t start it. TRUMP did… We are not him ?

We're sorry world, we got corporate America attacking and infiltrating our gov. We got a bad case of stupid making its rounds and unfortunately, they're in the middle of FAFO.

Well said that man! Trump is a filthy TRAITOR to America, he’s working for Putin! America, under TRAITOR Trump, is now a pariah country! America is now the enemy of every free democratic nation of the world !

It all looks like a coup d'état has succeeded in America, and Trump acts like a seasoned Russian stooge. If an enemy were to infiltrate the American establishment, they would behave exactly as Trump and his gang do now—under the guise of patriotism

As a Canadian. I feel like I'm watching the death of America and American Values right in front of all our eyes. How long will Americans allow this enemy within destabilize America??

I'm American and I stand with America!

Lolll what a bunch of crap, ok let's talk shit about Russia so we can just go to all out war... idiots .. if America takes its 200bill out of Canada you will sink.

Your stupid stop crying no more money for Canada.....im the people an they did it to you i buy nothing from you an i do an never done business with you....we are America free from your comments...an Putin i respect...so go find your money somewhere else...goodbye canada

Get um Trump we are ready for America to be first.

TRUMP not america

We have to save America from Trump

Do America have psychiatric Doctors? May someone send it to the white house please?????? am afraid for America??

Is Trump dumb? Well, I suppose the outwardly obvious actions of dismantling America in front of everyone's eyes is so dumb that people can't believe their eyes. But, damn! Is America so dumb that it's just going to watch? It's such a silly play that anyone watching would walk out of the first act.

Trump wants to make America great again. Well, he has a strange way of doing it its time

I have been a pro-America citizen for almost 79 years, but our administration is dead wrong. Canada is the best neighbor we could possibly have, and we have slapped them in the face. This administration loves authoritarian leaders and dismisses the interests of our long-time friends and allies. Why would we ever believe our president when he promises to make life better for us. He does not care for any of us, unless we are one of the few with money and/or power.

Wow can’t wait to see what doesn’t happen because Trudy gave a speech. CNN really does a commie type option anytime they can. Tell me more about how America should give money to everyone while taxes go up …. Tell me more about how all the other countries citizens love being taxed to death . Tell me more about a misconstruing of facts to justify lack of action and accountability Trudy.

America is sick and the cure is eluding us. It’s a self inflicted disease.

Only Trump is responsible for the tariffs, and he is destroying our America as we knew it.?

Golden age for America is turning into a golden shower for Americans…

Trump is still putin's b...tch like all the rest of republikkkans. They're fools playing his game, so in end America finally will be isolated with no allies. When that happens, trump will know who's really against America.

Trump will be speaking (whining)to a joint session of Congress today,which will be nothing but lies and grievances, and nothing about helping Americans. Trump is not playing with a full deck,both mentally and politically .He has no idea what he's doing because he's incompetent. He lied to the American people and he will never makes America great again.

The orange idiot’s campaign slogan should have been “Harm America First!”

Congratulations America, welcome to the dawn of a new world for you where you will be isolated and shut out, all by your choice. 2025 will be the year the dictatorship of Trump and Musk was born and Trump is already talking about ruling beyond his final term. Yet the world will welcome American citizens who decide to leave their fledging dictatorship for countries who has real freedom.

Trump says America is back!\n\n\nYeah, back to being a joke with a flat punchline

Serves Canada right as are many other countries. We have relied to much on America for too long. \nIn the long run this is better because we will become stronger and more independent.

Trump must be impeached—he must leave his post. Vance must go as well. These people have no place in the American government. They are destroying the country, undermining democracy, and dismantling everything America stands for.\n\nThey support terrorism, justify putin, and enable murder. The only thing they care about is money and personal gain—human lives mean nothing to them.

If Canada didn't have tariffs on American goods, Trump wouldn't have placed any reciprocal tariffs on Canada. This is retaliatory If Canada really wanted to have this partnership that they speak about. Why not just remove tariffs on American goods? America's economy doesn't depend on Canada. But The same can't be said for Canada. Good luck biting the hand that feeds you.

Trudeau will get stomped over this. America holds all the cards and Trudeau is helping poison America. We will never lose a trade war, Americas economy is ten times Canada's.

All the libtards in these comments are what’s wrong with America ?? ????????

Justin untrue doe knows his government will go Bank rupt with out the un balanced trade deals that swindle Americans and benefits Canada so now he has to come to the bargain table to address this issue so Donald can correct this unfair trade deal Justin untrue doe is screwed and he knows it how he addresses the issue will determine if Canada goes bankrupt or not good work by Trump to press the issue to benefit America

America, how does it feels having a leader who can speak in above a fifth-grade level vocabulary? In his second language no less.

Trump supporters are not real Americans. They chose hate and racism over saving their own country This is not how you make America great. Nothing good will come from electing convicted felon and the wealthiest man on earth

This is what America wanted. A Felon running their country to the ground.

Trump is weakening America, he is weakening Canada, he is weakening Mexico, and for what? \n\nMaking it easier for Putin to threaten Canada. Maybe Trump wants to annex Canada to have our minerals, water, oil and our access to the Arctic sea.\n\nEurope, Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and many more are fed up with the Musk/Trump combo.

I truly hate that so many of us are being lumped in with the traitors that are running the government now. We did not vote to have a convicted felon in the seat of the president or all the unqualified IDGITS that were appointed to serious decision-making positions that can destroy this country. For the traitorous, racist, sexist, stupid, and pathetic losers who voted for the destroyers of america, there is a space in hell for you all! Disgusting!!!!!

Trump works for Putin. The goal is to destroy America in every possible way. Once you accept that, everything Trump does makes perfect sense.

MAGA = Moscow Agents Govern America

As much as it will hurt us in America, I understand. I am so sorry. I wish we had a different President. Thank you, Canada for all your years of friendship. I hope we can earn it back some day.

Trudeau is the epitome of a compassionate, transparent and STRONG leader. As an American, I can confirm that we have the exact opposite infesting the White House. Canada.....please proceed. Show America what the government here is REALLY about. Thank you!

As a US citizen I fully support what Trump is doing. \n\nOh and these tariffs will hurt Canada far more than they will hurt America and we know that.\n\nCanadians better start controlling their border soon.

Trudeau this is trump not America coming for u respect for standing up to this KGB AGENT

Mr. Trump we thank you for dealing with our budget and splitting ties with freeloaders. Canada cant defend themselves and we dont need their bacon or anything they have at all. We have enough coal to fuel the US for over 300 years. We been subsidizing them every way and that is how they can give free healthcare and education while Americans dont have that option. Trudeau is a weak leader that wants to talk tough like Zelensky. And Americans or veterans that dont support your president is not a patriot to your country but a freeloader too. Taxpayers gave Ukraine hundreds of billions of dollars under senile Biden the worst president in US history and Zelensky want us to give him more for his war to nowhere. And then Ukraine want to not repay us unlike how they got loans from the European Union. Let Russia take Ukraine because that war is not our problem, we did enough. Lets put America first and that why the country voted for Trump. And Trunp is keeping his promise. God Bless America and Trump!

As an American- I will always stand with America!

America is collapsing and there only one person to blame!
