Trump is using these tariffs as a way to gain more power for himself and to harm the US government. Prove me wrong.

America doesn’t have a president,we have a narcissist tyrant in power.

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 never been so embarrassed to be an American. Its heart breaking that we allowed this to happen even with all the warning signs. I have protested, attended town halls, emsiled all my state representatives and every attempt can only have power if the people we elected go to bat for us. They are not doing so. Americans who know this is absolutely unacceptable will scream as loud as we can to stop this dictator but we need to help of the higher ups. Please...for the love of God, get this man out of the seat of power until it is too late. Maybe it already is.

Yay Canada! From Chicago. Speaking truth to power as Zelensky did and as our own Congress won’t.

Canada has no power ...usa has been sponsoring canada for decades...Canada left the borders wide open...USA will win this game of chicken....troudeu will give in within 90 days

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…

Most Americans don't like Trump or what he's doing. Please save us and cut off power to the red states

As an American, agree with the prime minister 100% and feel helpless with these traitors in power here.

Dictator trump is really separated from reality. I bet world will see first time US execute amendment 25, which gives senate power to kick out president who obliesly cant do his job.

Nobody cares what this dirtbag says in Canada. So to the rest of the world don't pay attention to this fool. He will be out and his party will never be in power again. Liberal cowards are like your Democrat cowards. Don't pay attention to cowards.

Europe stands with Canada!!!! Here too we will be boycotting American products!!! We don't stand with fascists or bullies!!!! Trump sold out America completely to his big idol Putin. We warned you for this insanity and still America chose corruption and put a convicted felon and rapist, racist fraudster and liar in Chief in power in spite of all the red flags and warnings and laws you had to bend. Pure Evil!!!

I’m American and never thought our despicable president would be so low as to alienate our dear friends to the north! Shame on maga and Trump supporters that gave him this power god bless Canada and god please don’t forsake our country we are not our leader!

shut off their water and power we send until.tarriffs reversed

This is III world War, economic one and he has started by a lunatic man.... China I'll be more power than never..... Don't forget China ownes billions of external debt from USA. Trump you are a criminal, the history will put in the right place.....

A recent survey in Canada revealed that some 27% of Canadians now regard the US as a hostile power. I'm part of that 27%......

Trump is an asset of Vladimir Putin. When you look at who ultimately benefits from all the craziness because of Trump, it’s Putin. He is the benefactor of everything Trump is doing. We knew this a long time ago, he didn’t even want to peacefully transfer power, caused a riotous assault on the US capital, he has now given Putin everything when it comes to Ukraine, made a pathetic adolescent attempt to demonize Zelensky, and yet he still sits as the leader of the most power country in the world. He should be rotting in jail for the rest of his life. He has betrayed everything free democracies stand for.

I don't want it either man. Wish I had more power. I'll stand with whoever to stop this.

Shut off the power Canada!!! ⚡️ love from real Americans ????

Cut off the power to the Dakotas!

Apologies to Canada. Power to Canada!

As a lifelong Conservative, TRUMP is putting the Liberals back in Power here in Canada. Why ? Why ?

this is about the most STUPID thing a president could ever do to an ally....GOOD LUCK AMERICA!!!!!! WAIT TILL DOUG FORD SHUTS TOUR POWER OFF LOL

The Democrats are making a good move responding to Trump's speech tonight with a moderate Senator that has foreign policy and defense credentials and common sense, Democrats need to start building their own coalition of the willing with the few Republicans that may help stop this power hungry delusional narcissist

Trump is a sadist. He loves to bend people and control/harm them. He is a very sick man, as his dementia, added to his sociopathy, unravel all the good between the two countries. The man feels no shame. He will not change, nor will Musk, Vance, Johnson, etc.... They are drunk on power and choose not to change their behavior. I am so sorry to all Canadians. ?

Putin has instructed Trump to do everything in his power to destroy America. Mission accomplished !

We are finally cutting off power to Michigan

Turn off the power now. Just stop trade. Teriffs won't work. Turn off the flow.

Give the power to a idiot, this is what happens! hope Trump will not be in power for long!

Cut America off Canadian Power. Justin, flip the switch and turn off the lights in USA.

Turn off the power grid.

This American did not vote for tariffs, Elon, Project 2025, Trump or their gross abuse of power. Thankfully, I seem to still be in the majority here.

It’s refreshing to see world leaders speaking out against this administration. Now it’s time for Americans to get with the program and speak truth to power

Send It, We Don't Have The Power Anymore. Hurt Trumps Economy Now and Hurt Him Badly

He is out and has no power. It clearly doesn’t matter what he has to say for the US or Canada. His own people kicked him out.

Powerful speech by a prime minister with only five days left in his mandate.

No one person should have as much power as the President of the US. Even before Trump this has been true. Now we are reaping the horrors of Congress ceding their power bit by bit over the past 50+ years.

HERO !!!!!! truth to power ! GO CANADA !!!

I am happy that this will increase the costs on the american people. I hope all provinces remove all USA produced alcohol from their shelves. I hope we apply levies on all energy and mineral exports to the USA. This would include potash, oil, power, nickel, uranium, lumber, etc. I have no ill will to the american people, but your president (whether you elected him or not, he is YOUR president) has started this and you, the american people, are going to end up paying more for everything in the very near future. Your president has now started the FA, and the US public is about to FO. This is NOT hurt any of your billionaires or politicians that brought this upon you. You cannot be upset at anyone than your elected officials.

Turn off power to the Northern US

Trump can be powerful he is not a crooked politician

I'm American and I support Canada. Canada should shut the power off and shut Trump down.

I am SO sorry Canada, but proud of you for standing up to these tyrants. I am a UK citizen residing in the USA, and, was impacted by the USAID terminations, which saddens me to witness such a powerful apparatus for global stability in health and security to be destroyed. Decades of alliance through NATO, this is just sickening to witness in this day and age. Who would have thought! Shame on this spineless administration, that will go down in history as the worst ever. Traitors they are ALL of them.

This is how casually WWIII will be announced if we continue on this path. America's power comes from its powerful allies. Why can't Trump understand this?

You mean the Con man and his minnions are doing this - they do no represent what America stands for. Our country is being viciously violated and our goverment structure is being toppled and raped by those in power in D.C. We are under seige. Please know that the majority of our citizens are as appalled as the rest of the world.

At which point will we admit that this is pure extremist behavior: create chaos and crisis that let you take more control and power. Playbook known, but we have a bias to normalize.

Bravo Canada. I didn't vote for Trump and I can't explain why any American with critical thinking skills would. Yet many Americans voted for a bully whose main interest is serving himself and not those wo voted for him. I can explain why someone like Trump would want power - I can't explain why voters would want that person in control of their lives.

Trump will ruin the North American economy, and when normal businesses cannot survive, federally, funded, corrupted corporations by foreign entities and loyalist to Maga‘s next term will be hailed as saviours and given extra power. Trump‘s aggressive foreign policies, allowing Trump to expand US territory, world, military conflict Will lock Americans under fastest doctrine that will cause World War III.

Justin Trudeau still in power is outrageous in real time?

Please, please, please cut the power! Republicans don't care about anyone but themselves. Unless they personally are affected, they will NEVER change! We need Trump OUT OF OFFICE, that is the ONLY way to know we all won't be playing this miserable game week after week for 4 years!!!
