Americans don't want this, donald trump and every single person working for HIM do not agree with this and are truly ashamed of our current fake government. trump wants to de the dictator of America. That will never happen. My heart is broken for what they are doing and we will correct this. Even the people who voted for him are now figuring out that he said everything they wanted to here to get their vote was a lie and would never fulfill his empty promices(go figure). We true American patriots are truly sorry. Canada is our neighbors and friends.

I love Canada and I love all of the Canadian people as an American I feel really bad for you guys because you’re going through what we went through in the Biden administration. It’s gonna get worse until it gets better but it’s up to all of you Canadians to vote the right way next time you need a real man who has power And can deal with your country and puts it first and the citizens first this guy showed up in a Barbie premiere movie wearing the pink outfit that says enough. Trump knows that he needs to go it almost seems like he’s gonna get rid of all the weak leaders so we can have a power for world and bring world Peace. Pray for you guys it will get better but you need to vote him out?

Calling Trump smart is stroking his ego. Hès a dumb guy doing a dumb thing. Just like getting involved with the Russian mafia and the kremlin as a younger man

There should be a National March on Washington to let Trump know that We The People do not like what he is doing. It's going to get worse for everyone.

in tennis, you will hit a ball to a far corner to get the player as far as possible, to then hit a ball to the other corner and score. trump throws his lies and fake concerns left and right and everyone is running for them, the media, other countries, maga people use this misinformation as an excuse... here you see Mr President say - we already had an excellent border control but we went ahead and spent 1.3 billion dollars more. why? trump never cared for that. just like Trump doesn't care what Mr Zelenskyy would say in the Oval Office, he has his plans and agenda. he wants to isolate USA, be friends with ruzzia and be a dictator. so maybe fucking treat him as such now, before its too late?

Sir Kier starmer the British prime minster spoke up for Canada in his press conference with president trump and the president shut him down..enough he said! Trump is trying to run the world like a business. It doesn't work like that. He's trying to move too fast and needs to slow down. So he's getting frustrated.

What tariffs have to do with Trump being getting closer to great President Putin.\nThe best thing Trump did was that he told the truth to the world about the WAR in Ukraine. You people tried to destroy Russia in fact you the west has destroyed European economies ????. But the shameful West has no shame.

Trump is so stupid. You can’t bully people and get away with it. He is a dope

Trudeau is personally involved with the Fentanyl trade. That’s why propping up bills and “plans” will never be enough. Trump knows this.\n\nHe’ll never be out of the drug game until he’s removed. Neither will his puppet “drug czar”\n\nWe’re calling for the dismantling of the trade. That’s going to get messy. When we see that, tariffs come down. \n\nUntil they make big busts of the industry portion of making fentanyl and the banks laundering the cartel money the tariff stays.

Why do people still watch CNN after being lied to over and over? Didn't they tell you Hilary was winning in 2016 and then lied to you guys again about Harris leading in the polls in 2024 lol. Not sure if you guys knew but we all know there's immediate pain with these tariffs but in the long run, we should come out on top. I get you guys are emotional and don't like Trump but the reality is that USA doesn't need Mexico or Canada but they need the USA. Mexico and Canada's exports are 70-80% to the USA while we only export 13-14% to them. This means most of their economy relies on the USA and only a small of ours rely on theirs.

The only one thing Trump is around for is to make everybody else his minions, that is what he works for to get his kicks from - all the Trump willie show is about that and that is his only card. He doesn't do politics or economics or any of that. He does his 'You Have To Be Minions' willie show, and he does fall out of his pants when people can't be tricked. - That is the one red line he can be identified for. Sure, there is danger as long as the citizens in the U.S. haven't got rid of this cancer cell. It is the modern Adolf Hitler. So make sure to get past him in the shortest time possible - with the smallest damage caused - by any chance. Observation and criticism towards this fascistoid psychopath is surely unavoidable, but it is also what he wants us to do: to spend all our time and attention on him. So let's focus most of our time and effort on building and strengthening what we know that needs to be there instead of this fascist. Improving Unity amongst us. And never bowing to any of the global bullies and fascists. People who can't build on their own turf, communicate their points in a civilised manner, but need to get physically violent instead, militarily, economically, institutionally, at the cost of other people's lives - are not on our agenda. // We will not bow to bully threats - not in our small worlds, and not globally either.

Don't get it, twisted, Trudeau. You've been screwing Canada over for 9 years, so why do you suddenly care now? You and Carney, and your gimp guilbeault with your carbon tax and doubling of rent and mortgages and groceries has been hurting Canadian families, but now Trump is doing this, and you're acting like a hero or are you just jealous because somebody else is beating on Canadians instead of just you, or is it because it's going to leave you with less of our tax dollars to launder?!

Trump is getting closer and closer to Putin

Of course fentanyl is a false pretext, there is no fentanyl issue with Europe, yet Europe gets tariffs from Trump...\nThe only happy person with all this chaos is Vladimir Putin (Trump's hero) !

And justin is lying 100 ????? trump said if they help and do a border fix they wouldnt be charged the 25 percent welp he didnt and now there getting 25 percent lol people are so dumb

Trump is a criminal and the world's biggest traitor on record. He is not the brains behind it though. It is the rich right wingers like Musk and Putin. The US dies not get shared intelligence anymore because Trump is probably passing info to Putin. He is just a kao dog who would prefer to play golf and get told what to do. Stand firm Canada. The EU is with you and will help in any way it can. I feel the majority of the US is also on your side, and I do not see Trump finishing his term in Washington. I think the people are protesting a lot now, and it is rising!

Im Canadian....not that I agree with the tariffs, but this POS Trudeau has shut down government the last 2 months. Nothing is getting done. He has time to fly to Ukraine but no time to sit down and hammer out a deal with the USA. He has caused all the issues Trump has complained about. He has destroyed our country from within. He is the worst neighbor a country can ask for. Weak leadership. Porous unsecure border. Weakest military of any first world nation. And a disciple of China. He is ALL OUR ENEMY!

Trudeau should have told you REPUBLICAN idiots exactly what Dipstick Trump is doing! TRUMP is doing the TARIFF thing to make up for all the TAXCUTS he is giving the RICH (taxcuts which NO average US taxpayer will receive) and now YOU are going to pay more for everything! Just remember, Canadians will still get the same amount of money from the sale, BUT the price to all of YOU will be 25% higher. You MAGA AMERICANS need to have your 2 BRAINCELLS talk to each other instead of complaining about anyone of color, sexual preferences or ideas that are different to yours

Goodness gracious this is insane why is President Trump acting like toddler having bad tantrums even if this gets resolved it will leave sour taste in Canadian and likewise American

the scarsasm, trump will not get it ?

This is true leadership! Support for Canada… Trump cabinet needs to get it together…

Can we get a leader like this, or anyone else who lives in the real world? Arrest Trump for treason, and Musk for overseeing the desecration of fedrral records. If you or I had broken into a federal building and stolen files, what would have happened?

American here. I am ashamed. I hate that we leave good people behind, crap all over every country and our relationships. It’s embarrassing. I support Trump for the border but that’s all I have agreed with. Say goodbye to the USD as the world trade currency. Get ready for isolation guys we are pissing everyone away down stream. To the EU protect Ukraine it’s the majority of our fault and I am sorry but don’t let these clowns win. EU needs an army, 30% maybe 40 of every European country. I would even say 50. Good luck and again sorry we are dumbasses.

Think about this a minute. Trump invokes a tariff and the stock market drops. The rich buy up all this stock, while a middle class and poor suffer. He’ll get what he wants and pull the tariffs and stocks will rise, making him and his friends richer at the expense of all the hard working Canadians and Americans. Food for thought

It DOES make sense. Trump is a Russian agent, codename Krasnov. He is ordered by Putin to create chaos in the west. That’s getting increasingly clear. The question is, are there any responsible forces left in the US, who can stop this madness? Or, ar we just driving down the road to full mayhem?

There are a few thousand american military bases around the world. Once you end alliances, they are gone. USAs is gonna have a bad time deploying their troops anywhere outside florida. Its a logistical question. Aint no friends around to solve it either apart from russia. Im just gonna say it America is Russia. Lets put it even better Russia owns america. America is trump wearing a latex harness, and putin is leading him towards the bed to get pissed on by russian prostitutes. ( I love russian prostitutes myself, but they should not be part of politics is all im saying)

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

All of trump's friends are getting screwed, trump has no friends he only sees trade to get richer.

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

Its so sad how he has to use specific language to get Trump to even listen lol

Don't worry American people they want it this problem they course the trump they want to be America great again and don't worry what is happening any American people you put your tax more than the trump number one is cut out the electric America after trump giving you mines - 200 tax cut if stop to minerals for air force stop to farmers Fortalice you can get another 200 percent tax cut is well dont think what the Americans thinking think first your own people nothing else ???

Clowns in my country got brainwashed for trump and thinking it’s cool voting for him people need to get educated before voting

Trump is a treat from world stability. American people, especially Democrats should demonstrate ad do pressure. It is awful and disgusting to see the US getting along with Russia and despite its historic European allies and nice Canadian neighbors.

How does the War end Trudeau, without taking with to Putin. Trudeau needs this fight to remain in power… BS get to the table, not talking potshots at Trump…

I thought Trump said tariffs would be reciprocal, is he charging Canada more than they get charged by Canada?

I am really sorry for Canada. We europeans are also getting ready to respond to USA threaths to our economy and democracy. USA is not longer a respectable country and ally until Trump is in charge.

Ask yourself what happens when Americans can't get oil and gas from Canada? Are they going to use their own reserves.....no. But guess who else has oil and gas? Russia. Who bailed out Trump every time his businesses failed.....Russia. Trump has to pay back Russia for all the times they bailed him out. Watch and see if he tries to make a trade deal with Russia.

It's difficult, I mean Canadians' disgust, insult and anger at all of these completely unwarranted tariffs is not directed at the American people, it's at the crass, unhinged baffoon Trump who has enacted them, and yet (and this is where it gets difficult) over half of you voted for this obscene idiot as your president! How it is that there would ever been more than a dozen people who would vote for Trump is beyond me; he is NOT an honorable person and has not one redeeming quality. He is a vile, snorting pig, and no, I'm not insulting him, I'm describing him. He has to go.

Proud Canadian here. So, we all know, including the Americans, that trump is a moron. In my books, he is the economic equivalent of Hitler, and no different from Putin. But my question is, how do you Americans who voted for this bully, feel now? I get it, a lot of American are against what he is doing. But the majority of you voted him in.

Thanks Donald for making Trudeau look like Canada's savior. This guy and his party were on the verge of getting kicked out before stupid Trump came along.

I want to get off Mr. Trump's Wild Ride

I AM CANADIAN WE LOVE AND GET ALONG WITH ARE AMERICAN FRIENDS BUT YOUR LEADER MUSK SORRY I MEAN TRUMP ARE THE BAD GUYS TRUMP WILL LIE TO JUST TO SAVE HIS SOUL FOR 8 YEARS TRUMP HAS DONE NOTHING BUT LIE TO YOU AND THE WORLD FOR SOME REASON MANY AMERICANS LISTEN AND BELIEVE TRUMP MOSTLY MAGA VOTERS EVERY BODY WILL PAY THE PRICE BUT NOT TRUMP MUSK AND ALL THERE RICH FRIENDS THEY ONLY WANT TO CONTROL EVERY THING TRUMP IS ONLY ABOUT MONEY THATS ALL HE WANTS THE TIME HAS COME FOR THE WORLD TO STAND UP TO TRUMP AND THE GOP, TO THE GOP IF YOU ARE AFRAID OF TRUMP QUIT

/and boom just like that, Trump gets hit with such anger as he could never believe possible

It’s so funny the excuse that Trump uses to justify his actions against allies such as Canada when in reality there is far more drugs going from USA to Canada than there is the other way around. This has never been about drugs or anything other than a personal financial gain for Trump and his own buddies like Putin. It’s a shame innocent people are caught in the middle but America did vote for him so hopefully eyes will start to open to the truth when it finally starts affecting American pockets directly as unfortunately that’s the only way you can get through to most of those kinds of people.

~ WE know Bro .... U can Blame all Trumps Drunk Hillbillies for this one ..... They were to Thick to see a Liar & NYC Con man like Trump ... U get what you voted for

We stand with you president trump! Canada, Ukraine, Israel, ect ect do not control us. We don't need you, you need us. Time for you to get that through your heads.

Trump is trying to destroy the US and we need to get him out of office.

Trump is not working with Putin. He has tried to get both Russia and the Ukraine to set down and talk and end the war. Trump has been doing this because the US has been taken advantage of all countries. So get your facts straight.

Trudeau said it - it’s all because of one guy. Throw Trump and all of his toadies out and let’s get back to business together. He is dismantling your country and these tariffs are simply one mechanism that he’s using to ruin the US. The US is no longer in the position of world leadership and respect and it took Trump less than two months to do that. Your government is failing you and hurting you. Throw them out now.

And why is this happening now, simple. This is what Putin ordered trump to do, and all while they flee Americans. Trump, Elon and all those greedy folks who you see every day in the news. Our congress is so afraid to lose their positions. This will get very bad before it gets good. So hang on folks something big is coming.
