If you're not American time to go

Baby Trump is trying his Hardest to go Down as the Dumbest American President.\nHe Likes to Brag about being #1 so he shouldn't have a Problem Wrecking the Country.

He needs to go back to where they came from….EUROPE??‍♂️….darks were ALREADY HERE…go figure…and NO…NOT AFRICANS…MEXICANS n NATIVE AMERICANS…the REAL AMERICANS ??‍♂️.

Go home and fix your own country and let Trump and the American people fix ours!!

Everybody has to go, who is not American, we can see Mexicans with their Mexican flag, so they love their country, No USA. So clear .

If you came to America illegally, you committed a crime, and you need to go, PERIOD! Respect America and take all the LEGAL steps to be here. No other country allows this! They get free medical, housing, EBT cards, and IPhones! Americans are struggling, losing jobs, their cars, and houses, and many can barely feed their kids. We are tired of our tax dollars going to support immigrants. Take care of home first!

To me all need to go back all we as Americans have done enough and thank you so much President Trump

Okay if Trump the Imports everyone that's a immigrant there won't be nobody left to run the country who is he going to have run it robot Elon Musk Facebook inventor the rich he's going to put them in there with him to run the country and take care of the United States of America because Trump is going to send everybody back to their countries so who's going to run America because half of America is all immigrants their Heritage their families are all here without them America can't survive Aldi's American white uneducated hillbilly people that you're trying to put into the capital the White House the government are all losers sex offenders alcoholics crime criminals you release half of the criminals in prison so is that going to run the country maybe they might get mad and come up there and attack you have you ever thought about that for what you did to them with your lies you lied about winning the election and you lied about it and they all went to prison for you because you lied Mr President Trump you are you using Revenge well guess what Revenge will come back to you one day the criminals you left out are going to visit you surprise surprise????????????

Everyone is going. Africans, Latin Americans, Caribbeans, South Asians, East Asians, Central Asians, Southeast Asians, Middle Easterners, Europeans, Pacific Islanders… if you’re here illegally, no matter where you’re from, you’re being sent back. Everyone.

You’re not welcome in the US if you can’t come legally. Your issues are not Americans problem. Go back to your country and make your country great again. \nLeave the US alone.

China is standing by waiting for mexico and canada . Thry are not scared of trump. We will suffer. Everthing will go up . Poeople dont be fooled trudeau is right Americans will feel it.. watch chine closesly they will trade more with china

The American president is missing the point, all these billions going to Israel, can also be spent on the American people by investing these billions on fighting drugs and addictions within the country, instead of sending it to war criminals in Israel

No more free rides people turn around and go home. Americans first everyone else go to the back of the line.

Can you imagine feeding all these people with American tax money for free, while we work for our things,no way,they must go back and come in the right way

The only thing that will get Trump to pull in his horns is for countries to respond with counter-tariffs that will HURT Americans big time. Trump said they don't need our energy. Let's shut down hydro electricity sales to the US and allow millions of residences and industry go dark in winter and wait for Trumps call to negotiate. The US NEEDS Canadian resources and we should use that to our advantage.

I have lived in Canada for 70 yrs. We will not submit to a want a be dictator-. Hes putting the blame on us when its his fault from all his failed promises hes made before and now. Hes really going to hurt the American people with everything going up in price. Trump will be made to step down im sure do to his ridiculous actions.

Donald is going down, and he's taking Americans, Mexicans and Canadians with him.

when are these countries going to lift their side of the couch. true americans stand united im willing to pay escalated prices and we stand by our president.

American here. Way to go Mexico and Canada. Stand up to the bully.

We sell million $ steel building structure in the US. \n\n7 of our major clients already confirmed that they will pay the 25% tariff. \n\nIn other words, Americans will pay the 25%. Way to go DJT. ?

If you are here illegally. Go home. Africa, or what ever go home. Africans don't like Black Americans anyway even if they did your here illegally. GO HOME.

Black American veteran and I support this. Go Trump, get er done.

80% of good come in from Canada. Go ahead. How about leaving America and Americans alone. America is Americans not Europe. Sorry

We as Americans can make the drug war go away. Just stop buying fentanyl and other poisonous substances. It’s supply and demand; if there is money to be made by fulfilling a demand, someone will provide. Don’t blame Canada or Mexico or China for our fentanyl crisis. We must support our citizens with the needed assistance to overcome addiction and offer assistance to prevent those not yet involved with fentanyl.

Keep noticing in the news. That it keeps coming from the angle how it's going to hurt American citizens. Never what it's going to do to Mexico or Canada. Just how bad it is for America. What about the other side? What will Canada and Mexico feel? What goods? Always from the angle of be scared America this sucks for you and only you.

It sad but I'm glad because now americans will do the dirty works themselves. The price of food will rise up! For example the price of tomatoes because the farmers lost all the illigals workers. ??? Now will see who's going to really suffer. It's the end of Babylon ?\nPlus if you love avocados just know that Mexico is the biggest supplier for the USA.? The taste of your guacamole ? is going to be bitter???

We here in Canada don't care about the tough times that are coming, its not the first time we have been in tough times and we are not going to bend for the united states and Donald Trump, we're taking you Americans down with us

I don't think the average viewer knows why the US is doing this. They're trying to combat illegal immigration and fentanyl as well as Mexican compliance with the drug cartels.\n\nThe reason tariffs are being used is because America is in a very powerful position when it comes to trade. The american economy doesn't rely on trade like Canada (67%), Mexico (73%) and China (37%). American trade accounts for only 24% of its massive GDP. if you removed all trade from america, it would still have larger economical output than china, mexico and canada COMBINED. yes. Combined. \n\nFurthermore, Canadian trade with america account for almost 80% of all trade in canada. A 25% increase would be absolutely devastating to canada. In america its about 13% so a 25% increase would cost more but it wont have any significant impact.\n\nNo doubt this tarrif war will cause far more problems for canada mexico and china than america. By a LOT. \n\nI dont think america is being selfish either. China does nothing to protect america from sending precursor chemicals to america to manufacture fentanyl. Canada facilitates illegal immigration and fentanyl into america with no accountability. And mexico is illegal immigrants by the MILLIONS and is literally working with the drug cartels. If they sort out those issues the trade war ends. \n\nI think america has every right to go to war to protect its sovereignty and its people.

The drug and immigration is an excuse - Trump is a crook. Let's go Canada! Charge the Americans more for Oil and Hydro and tarriff Tesla 100%

Trump is doing all of this to distract for all of the corruption he has brought along with him. Elon is pulling the puppet strings and reaching in the pockets of the American taxpayer. Democrats are complicit with their neo-liberalism instead of fighting for the working class. \n\nTrump is going to do his best to bust our unions. We are screwed.

Make America Pay More Again! As disruptive and asinine as Trump's economic schemes may be, it's sadly necessary that AMERICANS (we are often a very self-centered and blissfully uninformed people) feel the consequences of their vote as soon as possible. Americans MUST feel the pain to grasp the gravity of what a tit-for-tat tariff tiff between the US and Lord-knows-what-nation-Donald-will-go-after-next won't likely end well for us. It is what it is, and Trump is what he is. The whole world has no choice but to let all this nonsense unfold.

Most Mexican Americans Support Trump! My family came here from Spain. Did it legally. 3 Generations later, There go I.

i keep hearing the argument that Americans are going to be the ones hurt, but then why are so many other governments like mexico and Canada getting so upset? man they must care a lot about the American lower class. or...... just another gas light left on by mistake

richer will become richer , poor American's going to become begging on roads

This is going to hurt All Canadians and will extremely hurt Mexico. \nIt's only going to hurt yearly profits of 1% of Americans and those with CanAm's and anything Bombardier or Rotax. The automotive industry will just come back and have to eat the margin losses until they recoup. They still have plants here, they just have to bring everything back, rehab the buildings and start hiring and training folks.\nChina is the problem because they make everything and ship a lot of goods into this country... \nWe joyfully took our major manufacturing there instead of keeping it all here and becoming an industrial complex like they did as perfect capitalistic communists ...\nOh, but I forgot, regulations, mandates and emissions drove away most of our industry along with greed to increase margins. Until those regulations, mandates and emissions standards are changed, there's going to be a major manufacturing concern in this country.

Ordinary Americans really won't suffer that's why we voted for Trump because we are not going to suffer we just change our choices

Question... where does the tariff money go.. when the American importer pays 25% on top of the base costs for the good where does that 25% go? who gets it.

It's not just all the parties supporting Canada's counter tariffs. The Canadian people are in support, across political, cultural, economic and geographical lines. Canada has not been as unified about anything that I can remember (and I'm old). Plus, Canadians are a stubborn people with a more community oriented attitude than the USA and we don't like bullies. If we have to change brands of food, stop drinking bourbon and American beer, pay a bit more, even pay more taxes to cover the costs for people affected... so be it. BUT... when the tariff's are lifted, don't be so sure we'll just start buying American again. Stubborn also means we don't let things go easily.

No, you guys are not going to get out of paying your bills, if you balk, we will foreclose on Canada and you'll all become American citizens and you'll all have to start paying your bills. Or, you can pay us cash, right now for your share of defending Ukraine... your days of freeloading and spounging are over.

Bravo le Canada. I told my American husband that I would not go to America for 4 years. Hello from Paris.

America imports 4M barrels of oil per day from Canada. If Trump would put a 25% tarrif on them and I was Trudeau, I would add an additional 25% export tax onto it. See what the American gasprices will do then. Tarrifs are not the way to go

Mexico is so great all their people want to go to the US, what is that all about, and Canadian people are getting fed up with the left as have Americans

F that. Canadians don’t need to retaliate. Mr Cheeto is a crooked old schoolyard bully and I for one don’t want to play his game. We need to do what’s best for Canadians - find other trading partners, develop manufacturing within our borders, etc. and above all be smart. \nSomeone will benefit from trade wars and it’s not going to be regular Americans or Canadians. This is just another way to squeeze the life out of regular citizens while the rich get richer.

Tariffs are no solution. The first people to suffer are going to be the American consumers.....

Don't be silly, don't make your own people pay taxes on goods from the US. Make it harder on the people in the US by charging additional tariffs on exports to the US. Starve the Americans because they need your products and services. They cannot afford to go it alone.

A lot of us Americans remember learning about the tariff wars in history class that ended up in deciding fair trade was the better route. I fear we’re about to learn the same lesson again…\n\nAs far as the drug trade goes apparently the GOV doesn’t spend enough time on the internet because the cartels are no longer just in Mexico they’re in the USA and in Canada. They have learned the Canadian border is a lot easier to cross and they can get into BC pretty easily due to relaxed immigration policies In Canada.. they probably don’t actually know where the drugs are coming from or where they’re being manufactured entirely. The cartels are probably a step ahead of them at the moment. \n\nI can’t believe the auto industry lobbyists were not instructed to go full send on the detriment of the opposite position taken from the NAFTA. The only thing I can see is auto sales are slumping and maybe they can blame this on the tariff policy for massive restructuring. \n\nI kind of understand wanting to negotiate with Mexico because they probably buy less American goods than Americans buy Mexican goods (drugs excluding) but I’m guessing Canada is a better customer of American goods than Americans are of Canadian goods. Why would you want to upset a good partner, customer, and ally!? It’s Beyond my comprehension…. If Trump was really smart he’d convince some factories to actually invest in Mexico with cooperation from the Mexican government investing in efficient transportation from the manufacturing sectors to the American border and the coasts for distribution. This would likely really help their economy and change the whole dynamic of all the things Trump has issues with. Fix it at the source not try to treat the symptoms.

I am so sorry I think most of Americans have the greatest respect for canada I make 850 a month on SSI I will have to go hungry but I dont blame the great people of Canada Canadians stand your ground our government has turn their backs on us they purged our votes 3.5 million. In 2 yrs. We will take our country back We love you and stand with you

American here. Please punish Trump for starting a trade war. He's already off to a rocky start and if prices go further up, it will decrease his popularity and put pressure on Republicans.

The Americans will soon be poorer and more isolated than ever. Trump wants to make America great again? He is going to piss everybody, even the few nations that had kept good relations with US.

Trump's over confidence is going to cost Americans as the prices start to climb and he has no one to blame but himself
