The tariffs will hurt Canada much more than America. Any rational thinking person knows this. Our Canadian stores will be empty and what is in them will double in price. You may not like to hear this, but you know that this is true.

This is a person that saluted a certified Nazi in their own Parliament and gave him a standing ovation okay all the other countries can kiss America's ass as far as I'm concerned

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.

America is collapsing and there only one person to blame!

Justin Trudeau with iron in his voice. Thank you, Mr President. As a British person on my side of the Pond, these are welcome and necessary words. Let us all in Britain and in Europe echo Mr Trudeau's sentiments. We want our friendship with America back, intact, but it requires the removal of Trumpism and fascism from the American psyche. American democracy can come back better and stronger in the absence of its current madness and malaise. Trump is not a President. He is a Pretendident.

Well done Canada, the UK is so proud of you fighting off the Bully that is president Trump, who is turning his back your back against the world, whilst supporting the war criminal Putin. Listen to the world America Trump is the person causing all these problems for you. Do something about him, Vance and Musk.

Trump did a good thing. All you woke, soft hearted liberals don't get the fact that the USA has been allowing these other countries to eat off of us for free. Well, that' stops today. The President/PM of Ukraine will also learn a valuable lesson today as well. Never bite the hand that feeds you. All of our tax dollars have been donated around the world to other people's causes while we are made to suffer. We have a financial crisis right here in America that needs to be addressed. This is the start, and in the long term, we will prevail. Canada is like a little sister to the US. Trudeau is talking about fighting and they can't survive a war without our help. Neither can many of the other NATO countries. So, middle finger to him and any other country that opposes us. It's time stop being taken advantage of and for the USA to start acting like we are the most powerful nation in the world. Many of you don't like Trump's decisions simply because you don't like the person. Get out of your feelings and look at then big picture.

This trade war has nothing to do with fentanyl, Trump is a turncoat aka treasonous person who has been working with Russia all along and is using any and all excuses to cause people to look at anything else but him as he lines the pockets of his billionaire buddies because America gave him that when they said a president can't be charged for anything they do while serving in the White house. Thanks a lot supreme court and to all those that voted for him...... I hope you all get deported and lose all your money for putting us Normal non radicalized Americans through h3!!. It's insane how people are so blined that they know he lies and is a criminal and when hit with hard facts he calls it fake news and they all believe it. My own mother in law is one too. I hate this

the only person who wins in any of these decisions is Putin. and THATs the point. Putin OWNS Trump and Trump is fatefully carrying out his master's ultimate order to cripple America

The question that needs to be asked is what’s Trump’s moneymaking angle on imposing tariffs. Trump only does stuff where he personally can make money. Somebody or some group or entity is paying him somehow to impose tariffs on America’s main trading partner and ally. That’s the only way this makes any sense.

Trudeau was never ever seen as a smart man. It is a mockery for a fool to call a genius dumb. Aka: Same as AOC calling Elon Musk not smart. AOC's brain cells could barely count to 100. \nBut honestly, this fool Trudeau who is resigning because in the end he proved worthless and like a little lap dog had to snap at President Trump as he is ready to be ousted because he, himself knows that in today's world he is totally incompetent. \nMost true Americans know President Trump is right. And though we disagree on making Canada our 51st state, because we prefer to have it as our personal Democrat reject dump site.\nThe Stock Market downfall you can rest assured are more of the Democrats boycotting America which we have always known to back stab America every chance they get. Democrats have always been Americas traitors, and we wouldn't expect any different from them now.

Your President is a small person, he's throwing a childish Tantrum, like a spoiled 4 year old. Good luck with your new Russian friends America.

Trump’s a sick person. His illness is an infectious disease, that has infected millions of people in America. This infection will kill many innocent people, sadly children will die.

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.

Lindt the swiss chocolate factory has a factory in the usa which supplied their chocolate to usa and canada, they have spoken and acted, They have increased their production in europe for canada so canadians will not be paying tarriff/taxes on their chocolate, the factory in usa will decrease production, job losses which means people will also lose health insurances as well, there is only one person to blame for this america, rise up now

Well unfortunately it's no longer the United States of America it's now Trumpland. From an American im personally sorry for what Trump is doing. ?

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.

My Canadian brothers and sisters.......we all didn't vote this person in. We disagree with everything he's doing. From the way he spoke to President Zelensky to these tariffs. The xenophobic, racist, homophobic uneducated humans that calls America home are the ones that got this guy in. People that voted against their own interest. Now we all have to suffer. SMH.

As a U.S. Army veteran who proudly served this country, my love for America and unwavering respect for the Constitution drive me to speak out. What Trump did in that meeting with Zelensky wasn’t strength, it was weakness disguised as tough talk. Pressuring Ukraine to negotiate from a position of desperation only empowers Russia and signals to the world that U.S. commitments mean nothing.\n\nTrue leadership isn’t about catering to dictators or throwing allies under the bus. It’s about standing firm for democracy, national security, and the principles this country was built on. If we let billionaires and politicians treat global conflicts like a business deal, we’re betraying everything generations of Americans fought and died for. I won’t stay silent while our country’s integrity is sold off for personal gain. America deserves better.

COMPLETE BULLSHIT. Trump is sending busloads of illegal immigrants from NYC and dropping them off at the Canadian border because that's cheaper than legally deporting them. This clown has them going the wrong way. They are counting the illegal immigrants Canada caught and is sending back to NYC by bus. MAGA idiots trying to make Trump the Frump look good.\nWhat these American geniuses should be looking at is:\nD. J. Trump has been a valuable asset to the Russian services for 40 years?\n\nAccording to former Soviet agent Yuri Shewrew, who moved to the U.S. in 1993 and obtained U.S. citizenship, Donald Trump was classified by the KGB as valuable services for forty years. Szłowie, former KGB Major, is currently one of the most important sources in Craig Unger’s book. “The American Comsar.” In addition to this thread, the book examines the president’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, a U.S. financier, who died in 2019.\n\nUnger claims that Trump first interested the Russians in 1977 when he married his first wife, Ivana Zelnickova, a Czech model. At that time, he became the target of a spy operation supervised by Czechoslovak intelligence in cooperation with the KGB. Three years later, when Trump opened his first major Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City, he bought 200 TVs from Siemon Kislin, a Soviet immigrant who co-owner of the electronic company Joy-People at Fifth Avenue. According to Szedema, Joy-People was controlled by the KGB, and Kislin worked as her agent and selected Trump, a young, growing businessman, as a potentially valuable intelligence.\n\nWhen in 1987. Trump and his wife visited Moscow and Leningrad for the first time, the future president held many business meetings, including KGB officers. According to the Sędzim, Russian officials who perfectly identified the narcissism of the interlocutor and his psychological and intellectual weaknesses led a real “offensive of charm”, flattered him and emphasized that his personality made a huge impression on them. They suggested that such a man should deal with politics, that only people like him can change the world. According to Szbla and Unger, Trump was the perfect target for recruitment in many ways, especially because of vanity and narcissism.\n\nTrump almost immediately “entered” a new role, i.e. “joyfully parroted anti-Western propaganda.” Shortly after his return to the United States, he began his efforts among the Republicans to nominate for his candidacy for president, and even organized an election rally in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. On September 1, 1987, he published a full-page ad-icing in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Boston Globe, in which, among other things, he accused the Alliance of the U.S. and expressing his skeleticism to the U. According to Trump, America should stop paying to defend countries that can defend themselves. Such actions caused real euphoria in the USSR. Trump has already made the same the same theses as president.\n\nTrump's victory in the 2016 election. The Russians accepted with satisfaction. Special investigator Robert Mueller did not detect a conspiracy between members of the Trump staff and the Russians, but revealed at least 272 contacts and 38 meetings with people linked to Russia. The storm told The Guardian that he was disappointed with the investigation because there were no counterintelligence aspects of Trump’s relations with Moscow. According to Unger, Trump was definitely an asset to the Russian services, and his book “will start where Mueller ended.”\n\nSource: The Guardian of 29.01.2021.\n\nMelanija Knavs [now Melania Trump] was born in Novo Mesto, Yugoslavia, now part of present-day Slovenia, on April 26, 1970. Her father Viktor Knavs first worked as a chauffeur, and he eventually sold car parts for a state-owned vehicle manufacturer as he made connections with the League of Communists of Yugoslavia, the national communist party.\n\nWhy do you think Trump is so anti-Ukraine? Putin also has sex tapes showing Trump with adolescent girls in Russia, and Trump also owes Putin billions of dollars.

I am a person that loves nature. I am really hoping that the bear, wolf, and moose populations are healthy enough to help with this issue naturally. Make America AND Canada great again. I am an American who loves to vacation in the Canadian wilderness. I love the people I know in both countries. I think and hope we are turning a corner for good in both countries.

So like, please recognize that the president of the United States of America is a felon perhaps 5 to 20 times more dangerous than the felons and the dangerous people who come in from Canada or Mexico.\n\nThe mayor of New York is a notorious criminal according to your report and the reports of others online \n\nDid you ever think that you would see the day that a convicted felon president and a criminally inclined mayor would be bargaining with each other for\n\nIllegal aliens and personal clemency?

So… each person that loves criminals is because they hate America… yeah I can see that. They have fought to ruin America… They supported a former “president” that was hell bent on ruining America. They are all part of the problem in a time when we need solutions. It should be illegal and enforced to encourage unlawfulness… ❤ ??

I'm glad to see Cash addressing the fact that democrats want open borders because they think america deserves to suffer. hes becoming more of a rational person as time goes on.

Actually coming that way I’m ambitious person wish I could come to Britain from Britain to America just like that just ring policeman up and say can you help me? I’m a silent seeker. I want I want to live in America. I’d love that. I got a passport by the way, I’ll get one if I need one, but I don’t really need one in America like us.

Thank God by far the most legit pro-America/best president in American presidential history Donald J Trump is back in oval office or there wouldn't be a single person left in worldwide in general uncivilized 3rd world countries for example the entire Latin South America region/Haiti. ect. as in record breaking historic numbers literally the entire 3rd world of ASYLUM FRAUDSTERS were undertone invading America/statically free-loading of of hard working American tax payer dollar/in numerous-countless ways undertone attempting to take over America from Americans (???✊)

I'm all for legal immigration but I don't think the US can handle any more people at the moment. I don't know about anyone else, but it's been brutal for me personally to find a job for a couple of months just to get by until my other job is good to go for the season. I've never had to claim unemployment (I always found another job within a week or two), and I've been suffering for the past 6 months. I'm more than qualified for some of the applications I have filled out, but yet I feel like just because I'm a white woman, I get skipped over. I've applied to around 50-70 jobs and only had 2 interviews. Thankfully, I still live at home, but if i didn't, I'd be wayyy more screwed. I believe America needs to take care of it's legal citizens first, then we can worry about others.

Every person except for the native indians are all intruders off America. So Trump has to send himself off too. ??‍♀️

Something similar happened at a conference, in either Central America, or South America, during the US presidency of George W. Bush of 2001 to 2009. A US Secret Service agent was similarly barred from following George W. Bush into the conference room.\n\nA hawk eyed and alert George W. Bush realised this and would hear nothing of it. George W. Bush personally stepped in and briefly scuffled with the security at the conference room entrance, after which the US Secret Service agent was immediately let through.\n\nI was impressed with the way George W. Bush stepped in.\n\nRegards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa, 10th February 2025.

Happend to see many videos from diff countries depicting rubbish behaviours from Indians. I support visa rejections. Here in north America many north Indians are behaving like uneducated ones i would say. Zero civic sense , no standard no value for relations , zero empathy n tooooo greedy . I had respect for them until i met them in person. Wonder how these many people reached here !!! Lack of education is highly evident in them!! Ladies behave like men. Its interesting to observe n analyse these people. Proud to say that am a South Indian❤ proud to say that i cant understand or talk Hindi.But to be frank , met some humble, educated,super-sweet north Indians as well ❤

Remember when America used to be made of immigrants that had 2-3 jobs, that worked their asses off to build a dream ? Yeah? Well not anymore… now you come in this country as an entitled fuck, total disregard and disrespect for the police , you start collecting more money than an actual person that goes to work, and you sit all day.

This is SHAMEFUL treating these migrants like criminals especially with women and children to see. There is no reason for this we are heading into what happen to the Jews in world war two. This is deplorable what this President is doing to these citizens. It does not matter what faith, or who you are no person should not be treated this way. STAND UP AMERICA for your rights and Democracy as we fight not with weapons but your voices to be heard. These are human being and I know if Jesus walked among us he would treat all people with compassion and love. We all have different faiths but we have to get back to respect each other, be open minded to listen, and open our hearts which is missing amongst us today. We need leaders out there Democrats and Republicans who will fight for the decencies of all the people. God bless you all and GOD BLESS AMERICA LAND OF THE FREE, from Canada who stands with our neighbours. ????????????????????????????

Absolutely, they are going to be in shackles. We have to understand that all of these foreign nationals, violated America’s immigration and border security law and are in the country illegally. They are being deported to Guantánamo in Cuba. Why would any sane person suggest that these individuals be allowed to freely run around in an airplane? Once they get to Cuba, once they are processed at Guantánamo Bay, they will be unshackled and assigned to barracks.

European immigration to the America began during 1492 to 1930. More than 60 million Europeans immigrated to the American continent. During 1492 to 1820 approx. 2.6 million Europeans immigrated to America. Among them were British, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Italians, Irish,Swiss, Austrians,Hungarian, Russians and Scandinavians.In the 19th century and in early 20th century the European immigration to America reached its historic level of 60 million.\n\nIt is my opinion that if the US would granted amnesty on grace and accept those undocumented persons entered into US without criminal backgrounds (Illegal ), the great nation USA will be honoured.

I personally don't even think that there are ppl from SA who are staying in America illegally..... but let's wait u see Mr president.....

Vishw guru...5 trillions and AMERICA on the line for indian visa....personally i would say we shud rethink of our political approaches and the reality it is very ever shamefull...in this chat who so ever been abroad who can understand what it is feels like abroad...respect less

Why don’t the government look and see how many days a week how many years we work and so you know what let’s give this family since they’re not making as much as a rich family and let’s go to this upper class Rich family at work hard let’s give them a break where they need it see People can’t spend money or throw money at certain things and expect people to get by but if you wanna come somewhere, why do they do it like this because they see the blacks act crazy in America that’s why they thought they could come to America and do the same thing. It’s common damn sense manjust like a white collar criminal he’ll look in the face and tell you that there’s nothing he can do and there’s a lot he could’ve done and did and do.? but the problem is we need to stick together as people and not let our jobs dictate who we are and make us think we’re better than the average person that only makes $30,000 a year and can’t buy their children the nicest things that they would like because the most important thing to them is having a roof over their head and paying the bills and that’s what upsets me with people in this world they got all this help to fight drugs they got all in the world to fight this, but what about the little guy? What about the little woman the little family guy look out for them?? can’t just say oh here’s church food that shit ain’t good enough. I’m very thankful to the churches that help people with some of them food banks even a church knows it doesn’t help it gets them bye and if you think getting by is healthy when you can’t work a good day because your stomach‘s so low because your children are more important to eat than you? this is why America can’t take care of their own because they’re too busy taking care of the fake

Personally, I understand where Trump is coming from in the context of deportation. However, there is a slight error in the entire scenario.\n\nThe law enforcements are picking up both documented, and undocumented immigrants, and that basically translates to something sinister attached to the whole thing.\n\nI would do it differently (Treat Each Case Separately) because not every foreigner in America is undocumented, and illegal. The records are there. America is good at keeping records.

America is considered the power house of democracy and human rights they are double standard. They where supposed to do a constitutional process of checking every illegal immigrant their personal circumstances if they had criminal records and how long they stay in the United States and what they do in the united states if they had any children and family in the united states, help to document those they see fitting then deport criminals of course. Imagine the kind of trauma it brings you leave your wife and kids in united states

the only venezuala person that is alloud in america is . richie venazuala ..

Schizophrenia Does Not BELONG IN AMERICAS MILITARY!!!!! TRANS PEOPLE NEED MAJOR HELP FOR THERE \nMULTIPLE PERSONALITIES

This person does not want to stop keeping Americans safe, but Americans don’t want that? America’s luck will soon run out at this rate

Hello people hello world this is the Mississippi boy let me be very clear every black person minority person transgenders people that are in military they ought to resign just quit in the army armed forces whatever they are in position that they have taken in this country they do not need to work up under this administration to protect this country especially if you are black and minorities native Americans and other races here working and trying to protect this country they all should resign and quit and let Donald Trump send his family members and friends and these white privilege white supremacist people to war and let them defend this country not us as poor People's and these people don't care nothing about us but we will go out here and lose our life for protecting these white supremacist here in this country it's time to wake up America it's time to wake up people

Trump is setting the stage for China to replace the USA as a key export partner to these tariff threatened nations. All it would take is China to accept delivery of products impacted by US tariffs at the pre-tariff price. China wants better S American commerce and these tariff threats provide the opportunity for China to swoop in and save the day. If I lead China I would be phoning every nations leader personally guaranteeing to do just that before another threat came out of Trump. While it might cost China in the short run, seeing the world wide collapse of the USA's economic influence in favour of China would serve them well.\nFor the last century the USA has learned to played reasonably well with others, shedding off most of its protectionist policies in favour of cooperation and negotiation. This made it a strong economic nation that individuals wanted to become citizens of. Nations trusted the USA, but in just a few days under Trump that century long journey to world leadership has been fully undermined.\nThe most known Statue Of Liberty quote of “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” was the old America, a much different time than today. The poem under Trump's policies should read “Take our tired, our poor, our huddled masses yearning to escape persecution”.

Trump's tariffs will hurt America. Columbia's will probably hurt Columbia, too. That's why it's called a trade war. It's a conflict of economic attrition. Who hurts the worst the longest usually folds; but a depression can also be triggered by such, as Herbert Hoover's tariff fought trade wars contributed to the Crash of 1929. So are we dancing toward catastrophe? Possibly. Go ahead and laugh. Personally I'll wait for my schadenfreude - it'll be delicious. ???

The president of Columbia is being forced by Trump to use his own personal plane to make all the future trips to pick up his former inmates from America. Trump and America wins again and the tarifs work.

Imagine being a MAGA person and thinking any of this will have positive results for the US in the future. That's what's truly unfathomable to me. America is not great again. It's trash again. And we'll all pay the price for it.

President trump i was your fan,and im still your fan now and u will succeed its my own personal beliefs on you definitely will succeed, unfortunately not everyone going to fell the same good feelings for you, you cant win over every single human beings on this entire world,you can try harder anyway you can but i do apologise every body cant love you,good way not wad way why? You have give everything to others to make them smile? You are totally right about everything i do love your mentality keep giving, keep giving why? not keep receiving im sorry i changed the system completely i do apologise its new system's no moore extra help others every body is dead may true god be your side i know you believe in you own god jegus Christ its beautiful to believe in great lord jegus Christ easy rules, welcome to United States of America difficult to get there

About time cut the crap work. Americans need to get on same page you want more great create more value you don't create for others to make lives better than no pay \n\nWe are community. Hard times shoot we have all been there thinking someone thinking besides yourself is responsible is a lie. You enter this earth with curses or bless from your parents and generations so what you going to do sin more and curse your family more or not pass the buck and obey Jesus..\n\n\nJesus said to serve and sluggers aka people who don't serve others don't deserve to eat. What he's trying to tell when he's saying work to serve others like you do him is people have all you ever wanted so learn how to be of value and service. America you can do so will it be easy no but we need to stop corruptness.\n\nI paid for my familys curses so my children don't have and what does the wicked tell me it's not fair when you work three jobs to come up and constant study of improvement of personal value I'm so so so sick of liars trying to to blame people of there conditions instead of turning to the king who will work all for good stop having faith in the wicked man god sent the sinless to lead you to right truthful stop believing convient lies from atheist.\n\nHeck even Rome couldn't stop Jesus words so instead try to control it with claiming there Christian don't make there sol victorious worship and Mary worship or sun/moon worship Rome was made from as truth. Please get the Bible and check for yourself study both sides prove Jesus isn't real.\n\nOnce you learn Jesus is here to lead u out of your self-destructiveness and knowing your sin curses your children this stuff will stop. \n\nYou can claim whatever but I can't disagree if Jesus didn't come our life would be 100x worse everywhere as America was built strongly after his words \n.
