MY! MY! MY! WHEN! WILL WE UNDERSTAND! THAT WE! HAVE A ORANGE MONSTER! RUNNING RAPIDLY TO MAKE US ALL SUFFER! IN FACT WE ARE UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF A CULT! LEADER. I AM GETTING THE F OUTTA AMERICA! ( BORN! HERE IN THE UNITED STATES) THIS IS NOW! THE REAL! SH!T HOLE, OH! And NOW! HE! WANTS TO REPLACE OF THE $100 BIILL WITH HIS! FACE! ( IF THIS HAPPENS! I PROMISE TO GOD! WILL NEVER! EVER! TOUCH IT OR! CIRCULATE IT.

I know I will get attacked in the comments for this, but I grew up in the US watched many presidents come and go, and I have never seen the country that I live in turn so corrupt and evil in my life we have been lied to by our president. A man I did not vote for and it almost feels like it is turning into a fascist regime. I think it is time for me to leave and move to Canada because at least they know the difference between right and wrong. my family, a long time ago fled from fascist Germany and came to America because back then it was the land of the free it terrifies me to know that my family ran from that only to end up right back where it was before in the future my prayers go out to every American citizen and hope that you all rise up, right and left and independent and do what you can to get this dictator out of office. He’s only been in there not even two months and look how bad everything is already. United we stand divided, we fall.

As a right wing liberal / classic conservative, I've never been too warm towards Trudeau. No longer! He's miles ahead, morally and verbally, over the populist troglodyte currently leading the US. This is by far the lowest moment in America's history since slavery.

I gotta be honest -- I never seen this coming, America starting a war with Canada out of All Countries

All the drugs came from America destroying people lives all around the world,I would never live in America with my kids,robberies killing,drugs I live in Croatia and I can go out at night don’t have to look the house,car Im free.

Trump is not being played Trump is doing exactly what Trump wants to do because he wants to be an authoritarian country plain and simple so sorry America that you are going to change in a way that you will never escape

Any time I hear any leader of any nation other than the United States and Russia, I hear so much confidence and knowledge behind their voice. As a U.S. Citizen, born in Florida, I am HUMILIATED and EMBARRASSED by the filth that is running both my state and my country. I have never seen America act so depraved and immature and WEAK.

AGREE,what is this about definitely not the border !Trumps REGIME is trying to weaken Canada so he can Annex us!!!\nThat will never happen most Americans disagree with Trump more than half now after what has happened in the news lately!!\nThank you Mr.Trudeau for an eloquent,intelligent response to Trumps DUMB plan.After decades of good relations between our nations Trump has chosen Putin’s playbook\nCanadians and the world now are BOYCOTTING the once upon a time Ally Our neighbour America!!\nThis will not play out well for Americans Canadians or Mexicans \n??????

Trump knows he's hurting America. That's exactly his and Putin's goal. He's a terrorist doing everything in his power to destroy America. He's only getting away with the because of his PRIVILEGE. YT people don't understand this. Obama could NEVER get away with this. He couldn't even wear a tan suit without everybody jumping all over him. HORRIBLE NIGHTMARE. Trump needs to be fired and locked up. He's a danger to society

???​​Republicans in the Senate & House are now working for Putin, because Trump is Putin's #1 flunky, and Vance is #2. ???Now America and the world will see what Convicted Criminal Trump really is - a CONVICTED FELON CRIMINAL, 34 TIMES, and never should have been allowed to run for President.???

Surely everyone has noticed just how intelligent Mr. Trudea really is when he speaks. Quite a contrast when Mr. Trump is speaking about anything. Never once did this gentleman make this conversation about himself or issue any threats towards or against America. In a matter of days America has succeeded in isolating itself from its allies and the rest of the world and all the while China has remained Incredibly Silent.

90% of Canada's exports are to America and 10% America ?? to Canada ?? \n\nWho's butt hurt and preaching equality but never was Equal and the disrespect of Trudeau it's gonna get worse till he's out ❤

I've never been prouder of my Mother for holding onto her Canadian citizenship even though she's lived in America since she was 10.

He's fantastic...THIS is what a TRUE leader looks like MAGA...he inspires his citizens to work together and that's what makes their country GREAT.\nDonald Trump has purposefully worked towards dividing American citizens from day ONE, for the simple reason of his GREED for money and lust for power, and it's laughable that his slogan is 'make America great again' because anyone with a moderately functioning brain, knows that an extremely divisive country will NEVER be 'great'.\nHell...with trump as your leader...you're barely even functioning thus far, after his 'leadership' of a few weeks. God help you all after a few months, or YEARS!! What a FOOL.

Trudumb, a friend dose not take and never return generosity. The current administration is just demonstrating how much of the American tax dollars go to Canada. About $300B, sounds like you all get more than any US state. \n\nFYI: Canada has the best fence in the world…it’s called the United States of America!!!

Trump is a bully it was never about the opioid crisis because he doesn’t give a crap about people we are not against the people of America, it’s your president. That’s the bully and all his caucus.

Somebody needs to tell donald, the disgraced, soon to be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, soon to be former president, the never to be premier of America which is the soon to be 11th province of Canada by way of unanimous consent of the American public... DON'T START NO SH*T WOULDN'T BE NO SH*T!\nYou know what this is about don't you?? donald is mad at our Prime Minister because he was caught joking and making fun of donald with other world leaders at the 2019 NATO summit in London. So because donald has microscopically thin skin he can't take his over inflated ego being bruised in any way, so to get back at Trudeau he's going to take it out on the Canadian public and the American public, the consequences be dammed. The only thing that is important to him is revenge no matter what the cost. Besides, when Trudeau visited the Whitehouse, Melania gave him googly eyes and melted in his presence. Let's face it donald, you can never come close to ever being the man our Prime Minister is as much as I dislike Trudeau and are glade to see him gone.

It’s time for Canada to join the EU . Becoming a member is almost done anyway as we share so much more with them than the Fragmented States of America. The cheapening of “ America” is tragic to watch. Your White House has never been so gaudy.

As a Canadian I can tell you all that we’re livid. The relationship between our two nations will never be the same.\n\n27% of Canadians now view America as an enemy and threat to our security, not an ally.

I stand with Canada, love from England. America has never been so alone, you voted in a traitor to democracy, and you have sold out your national pride to the USSR. \nThe new North Korea of the western world.

Poor United Soviets of America. They lost their Freedom, and torched Democracy. Will be sad seeing them fight for eggs and they pull out their stocks and run the banks and start hording toilet paper. USA cannot be trusted and will never be trusted again. RIP puppet of Russia. Just stay on your side of the border.

As a Canadian my personal politics may not always be in line with other citizens of the world, however I can respectfully agree to disagree, allowing more dialogue and discussion to continue in order to reach an agreeable compromise to find the best winning formula for all concerned. \nI have watched and listened to many American politicians from John F Kennedy to Joe Bidden, to leaders like Marin Luther King, Malcolm X, Bernie Saunders, all have something in common, respect, decorum, world knowledge, integrity, truth, honesty, honour, and heart. \nStrength is when you are able to reach out to lift someone up not to knock them down. Even the greatest professional boxers know the difference of being humble and kind when there advisory is in trouble. \nFor the first time in the history of your country you have a bully, narcissist and pathological liar, who is vulgar and unpolished as a man, father and as the President of your nation.\nI have seen our own Canadian leaders, make mistakes, stumble and fail, however they displayed grace and admitted to their shortcomings.\nI have never seen a world leader be obsessed with things such as plastic straws, pennies, flushing toilets, Hannibal Lecter, Arnold Palmer's manhood, a leader who's completely obsessed with selling souvenir and bubbles while his citizens are homeless, hungry, jobless, with runaway inflation so that something as simple as a dozen eggs are now a luxury item. \n\nYou have a president who spends millions of dollars so that he can play golf at one of his own properties, meanwhile his country is neglected. \nA brief look at his past record the pandemic under his watchful eye would have you drink bleach as a cure as many died and billionaires increased their combined wealth by trillions of dollars while the middle class and poor suffered. \nThe opioid crisis was settled under his watch which let Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family avoid jail time for committing the death and destruction of millions of lives in America. Yet Donald Trump is obsessed with the drug cartels in other countries yet he overlooks those terrorist in his own country. Is it because they are billionaires and potential cronies of his?\nRather than be completely obsessed with tariffs and creating the next disaster with his Trump Gaza Holocaust Resort, Your leader could be looking at fixing the country's infrastructure of roads, brides, tunnels, ensuring a healthy supply of drinking water, rail, housing for the homeless, affordable health care, affordable education, etc.\n\nDonald Trump is surrounded by his clowns is not just making a mockery of your country but is leading you into a very dark hole. \nThe shame and humiliation that Donald Trump has brought to your country since his inauguration will take years to correct if he is stopped now. If you the American people wait four years, WW Three will be here and it will take centuries to recover. \nTHE FUTURE IS NOW, NOT IN FOUR YEARS. AS AMERICANS YOU MUST BE WILLING TO ENSURE A TOMORROW FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.... UNDER THE CURRENT REGIME YOU ARE HEADED TO A DEAD END.

Will you all stop watching what Trump is doing!!!! And start seeing the things he's doing behind your backs!!! He is giving billions in contracts to Musks companies and firing anyone who doesn't agree with them. They will never leave the Whitehouse, or if they do they will be taking billions if not trillions of American dollars with them most probably to Russia who will then rage war on America when your on the bones of your backside and no economy to fight. Your all looking in the wrong places, someone like Trump or Elon or Putin never let you see what's in their left hand when showing you their right, wake up America and impeach him now or you will have no country left ???❤

For all the American's siding with Canada. Did you know Canada has never fulfilled its obligation to Nato. they only pay 1% of its gdp. They are supposed to pat 2%. The united States has been carrying the water for Canada and other countries so they can flaunt social programs like universal healthcare. If they paid their fair share for defense they would not be able to afford it. Its about time these countries start paying the United states back. Since Canada became a member of Nato in 1949 they have never fulfilled their payment obligation, but enjoyed the security of being a member. America pays 4.5% and some other years 6% of our gdp to NATO. with out the US there is no NATO. Maybe Canada should take over for the US. Like that will happen. If Canada was the 51st state they would be the 4th poorest state. Not trying to be mean this is just reality. The dictator of Canada has never cared about his people, or he would have simply secured your damn border. https://www.forcesnews.com/news/world/nato-which-countries-pay-their-share-defence

And just a reminder for everybody. The United States guaranteed Ukrainian independence after it split with Russia. I guess America is no longer a reliable partner. In the land of the shithead the biggest asshole is king. No morals, no scruples, no humanity, but all American. Trump hates people who have Courage, Honor, and Integrity. Things he will never have.

As a Canadian, I can assure America that, even if or when these tariffs are removed, we will never forgive or forget the base treatment we have received from our former closest friend. The free world is not blind. They can see what America has done to its closest ally. Splendid Isolation will once again be enjoyed by Americans but this time it will be initiated by the free world.

The President of the United States is trying to destroy America economically in my opinion. Don’t take it personal Canada. He’s fired over 20,000 people from their jobs with absolute disregard in disrespect. He left to get rid of which employed 7000 people! Trump led the charge to get rid of TikTok and then he left Office and it happened but he’s the one who started it all 7000 people lost their job jobs. He’s cutting Services to all American people with all these job losses and he doesn’t care!! He just cares about his wife, Elon, and making America white again! To start trade, wars is crazy when we’re just recovering economically from the pandemic, but he doesn’t care because being the president has made him rich because he breaks every law!! I’m so sorry Canada that we have so many idiots in this country that voted for this man because they’re racist and they wanna make America white again. It’s not about making America great it’s about making it white. Unless you do one of those so-called what he calls black jobs. Don’t really need to explain anymore than that. Either know some history or don’t. Hopefully this idiot will either change his mind when he realize what a catastrophe he’s caused or he’ll be gone soon!! From an American, who did not vote for Trump and never would vote for Trump with good reason!!

Why won’t Canada just remove the tariffs they’ve had on American imports. That’s always the point that is never brought up - why can Canada tariff American imports and America cannot?

I’m also a veteran and voted for Trump.. I stand with the USA not Canada.. don’t have problems with Canada but I support my president and trust in what he is doing.. give him a chance… if he doesn’t do what he says and doesn’t make America great again will vote him out… look at all the previous president clowns in office. I am loyal to my country. I bleed United States no matter what.. I may not always like what has happened shot look at Biden but I’ll never side a with another country i pledge my allegiance to the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ??

America is a scab that never heals...

Never get a boy to do a man's job especially a narcissistic drama queen like Trudeau...loves WEF and Soros globalist plan for 4th Reich apparently ! More money to Zelensky who can't account for $69 billion dollars from America ? Zelensky's wife spends 10's of millions on shopping spree buys a $6.4 million dollar Bugatti and a $1.2 million dollar necklace while begging for money ? NUTS

CNN correspondence never gives the more impactful concerns - in this case, the concern should be the fact that DT is attacking Canada, our friends, and Mexico, our friends - because he's a fkn traitor - and the US Constitution that says it's our American duty to stop people like him. The government and the common people must be overlooking these crimes and willing to give up their rights and freedoms. The original KGB and the long running Putin agenda is the slow game in his global conquest for power. You have to consider the geopolitics. If Mexico and Canada won't defend us (because they hate Trump) DT can/will sell out America to Russia, in turn Canada would be the closest place to conquer, then Mexico. It's stupid tho, unless the UN stands back and watches this happen too. Think I'm bullshittin, reading too far into things, but I'm not. Nobody is at the wheel but Trump, and he doesn't even know how to drive. You, the people and corporate new media will never read far enough to get the entire picture. Krasnov stole the Country to handicap us in the Cold War, except the War is white hot. He's in line with Hitlers handbook. And don't forget, that Nazis were white people who had no problem offing white people. Just sayin. Nobody is safe in Trump country. It's all Biffed up now.

This is exactly what Trump wants to destroy America!!!! to bring on techtocracy or maybe just to make his allies in Russia happy.. It's either that or he is the dumbest president in American history... I've never understood why anybody thought that he gave a damn about anybody but himself or was capable of doing anything that would benefit the American people. But here we are.. there was voter suppression at the very least. It's hard to know what to believe about all that. But I do know many people regardless voted for him. 30% did not vote. Which I do understand. As there is a genocide happening.. but at this point, I have to believe that even amongst the majority of his supporters he is not supported by the majority, major majority of the United States. The republican Congress has shown their true colors of being anti-constitutional . But they are redeemable. Do the right thing if you are in government if you have any power at all, stand up. And for the rest of us, Americans including the ones that voted for Trump let your voices be heard. Before we become something similar to Russia. And I go to prison for this comment.

Never 51. Trudeau is a real leader and America needs to stop this madness.

I am not Trudeau's biggest fan by any way, shape, or form...\n\nBut he nailed it here. Wish he'd showed leadership like this for years before agreeing to step down, but better late than never.\n\nThe North will never f*cking bend the f*cking knee.\n\nIf you come for us we will come for you too.\n\nWarrior peoples don't cower from fights.\n\nCanadians are warriors, see our involvement in any war for proof.\n\nWake up, America, there's a Russian boot on your neck.

As an American we are getting a Golden Shower from Trump. As an American I have never been more disappointed of my country then I am now. You do what ever you need to for your awesome country. I believe everything you stated because it's that easy to look into. Trump and Musk are Russian puppets that is easy to prove but the idiots here do not understand the facts. Most of America supports you. God Bless!!

Trudeau - Trump is a traitor to the United States of America. He's under PUTIN'S thumb. Trump is PUTIN'S puppet. Real Americans will never bow down to RUSSIA. \n\nWe can't count on Trump for Nothing!! He's letting a South African Billionaire wreak havoc on American people and lives!!!\n\nThis is TOTAL BULLSHIT!!

Putin wants democracy to suffer and be weakened everywhere in the world. . his bootlicker in the presidency judges loyalty as a primary value, and knows full well how Russia helped him get elected the first time and then again. combine that with a love for dictators, and I fear America will never have another free and fair election.

I am French Canadian who is an American citizen and never have I felt so DISCUSTED AND APPALD with this new government that has started the fall of everything that America stands for I STAND WITH CANADA ?? MEXICO ?? AND UKRAINE ?? ?

Respect to Canada, we all stand with you. Brave coming out on the front foot like you have. I do have to add, it is not the American government alone, it’s the American people who voted Trump in. How the mighty have fallen. Making enemies with all the democracy countries around the world. I’m Danish born, living in Australia. Civil war is very likely as many republicans now see that America is isolating themselves to create a dictatorship. Us vs the world mentality. Politics has never been more entertaining. China is set to be the new world leader, I can’t see it any other way. The timeline has moved forward beyond belief.

To this man I say BRAVO BRAVO. GO FOR IT, DONALD DOESN'T RESPECT YOU OR YOUR COUNTRY DON'T BOTHER TO SHOW ANY RESPECT TO A CRIMINAL FELON SEXUAL ASSULTER GREEDY, SELFISH, POWER DRIVEN EGOMANIAC LUNITIC on a revenge tour to hurt America for the crybaby because we didn't vote for him in 2020, very much a applied demented orange poor loser. . THIS so called president trump, and the real PRESIDENT MUSKrat ARE DISRECPECTFUL hate filled idiots that put gold before humans. GO FOR IT, FIGHT BACK AND LET TRUMP KNOW YOU ARE STRONG AND ACTUALLY HAVE A MAJORITY BACKING BY THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES something Donald doesn't have and never did. Donald didn't even get half the votes after 8 years campaigning and all the muskrat money. We respect you and have no respect for maga. GO CANADA.

For the time being Europe including my country, UK, we have to work together because unbelievably America is not our ally... Wow.. That sounds insane! In my 57 years I've never Heard such a thing, or ever thought this would happen... A Russian ally.. Blowing our heads off, just unreal!!!

To all Canadians, all Europeans, just know there are tens of millions of Americans who do not agree with, nor do we support, the current occupants of the White House, and we never will. We Americans stand firmly with you, with Canada, with Mexico, with Denmark, and especially with Ukraine. Love and blessings to you all. God save American Democracy, and the United States of America, from the malignant growth known as the MAGA movement that has taken over the Republican Party.

This is what the ignorance of America MAGA voters wanted and now their ignorance and stupidity will bite them like never before. They learn nothing from Trump last failures and gave him another shot at fooling them again. This is on them for recession this Buffoon is about to put them through

The number of countries around the world boycotting American products in support of Canada will really bite America. Canadians are done, we will not be bullied by our neighbours to the south, and free nations are watching. America has lost all previous respect it had on the world stage. America is not a decent and reliable friend, America can not be trusted to honour its agreement. We will fight back! Canad has never started a war of any kind, but we have never failed to fight back when attacked, and we have never lost a war!

How many people grew up in Divorced families with arguments and name calling and all the insults? I’m just wondering because the way our president in America is acting along with JD Vance and all the MAGA politicians they all act like those parents with the constant negativity and verbal abuse that all the crap that they put the American people through!!! How many times has our country gone through anything serious within or outside of our country? I am 62 years old and I can tell you there has been many, but we have never had a president / vice president and all the politicians on one party sit there and act the way these IDIOTS act! I was just thinking about this because of the constant stress I feel on a daily basis with this administration! It is a public disgrace as our trailer trash parents fight in public! Makes you want to run away!! I cannot stand the people responsible for what we are experiencing in our country right now! I blame Trump, Musk and all those American that voted for these idiots!! F” off!!

With having so many friends in America, this saddens me to no end. As a Canadian, I am so sorry to see our two Country's come to this. It should never have happened.

Well, I am from America and I never heard of such a bunch of whiny babies in my life. If you got an app to get her Mr. Trudeau and got the border tightened up instead of lying about us you wouldn’t have 25% tariff against you in the business we do a Canada as much it is in the billions it’s chunk change to us so young with the program and get it together and take a nap order in for you Europeans. I wouldn’t criticize in America to quickly because we’re in America well that’s not how that conversation.

I support TRUMP on his take on UKRAINE. You can’t talk tough from a place of weakness. If America stops supporting, Ukraine is finished and this talk about after Ukraine NATO countries are next is total nonsense(if Russia does then just activate article 5 and shut the f up). You cannot talk about negotiation and diplomacy while insulting your opponent. Trudeau is a liar and we can’t forget his actions in trying to rewrite history by bringing Zelenskyy to congress and applauding a Nazi Veteran and calling Russia the aggressor in the 2nd world war. That will never be forgotten SILLY!!!!!!

This must be Trump's brilliant plan to get everyone to self-deport to a country that has political leaders that actually care about their citizens... Trump will later want credit for bankrupting America.. the biggest bankruptcy in history...never one bigger... And for all this Trump will want to have his profile added to Mt Rushmore... and no doubt hand himself a Medal of Honor... I'm surprised he hasn't given himself a Purple Heart, for taking a shot to an ear. Who voted for this demented man anyway?
