Its time for you americans to fix your stuff. The longer you let this go on, the worse its going to get. I thought you folks were both free and brave?

Little Trump is not a president nor is he a businessman. He’s a scared little rat a draft dodger and think America if he was afraid to fight in the war then what makes us think that he would protect us now he’s a scared rat. He’s afraid of his own shadow. The family kids and the grandchildren are the ones that are going to feel the damage he will do to this country in four years. I feel so sorry for our men and women in the military now and our veterans are taking a pounding very sad . He’s only doing it to benefit for his own greed. Very sad human being. He’s miserable he’s depressed. You can see it in his face. He was a piece of shit to the American people before he ever even thought of being a president he owes contractors millions of dollars through his life no wonder he has a bull’s-eye on his back and they say he can’t sleep at night well, I wonder why he fucked the American people and he will keep fucking American people nobody will stop him He will keep fucking us until he’s done. And after all that damage that he will do to this country, in the four years it will be so damaged. It will never heal.

I'm usually reasonable enough to realize that while I may disagree with many policy decisions, there's usually a relatively coherent line of thought to back said actions up. The problem here is that there’s no clear logic behind using tariffs as a tool to curb fentanyl trafficking or immigration. I'm not going to speak on the issue of immigration at the Canadian border because there simply is none. Yes, there are illegals from Canada, but almost 100% of them are from overstaying visas rather than crossing the border unlawfully. So let's talk about fentanyl. \n\nMost fentanyl in the US originates from China, often in precursor form, and is then processed in Mexico before being smuggled into the states. But it's typically trafficked in small, high potency quantities, often hidden in legitimate shipments or through mail, and only on very rare occasions is it being brought in by individuals crossing the border. It has _never_ been documented to have shipped in as part of large scale commercial imports, so a 25% tariff on legal trade with Canada and Mexico doesn’t directly target the black market supply chain at all.\n\nIf we take Trump’s reasoning at face value, the argument seems to be that he wants to exert economic pressure on Mexico and Canada as a means of having them crack down harder on drug trafficking networks. But the issue is that fentanyl simply isn’t coming in through mass import channels, so all this looks like is a punitive measure without a clear mechanism to actually achieve its stated goal. And the implications? Drastically higher costs for consumers in the US, Canada, and Mexico, with absolutely nothing to show for it.

I thought he was going to resign what happened to that

As a US citizen, who voted for Trump three times, i never thought id agree with Trudeau. \nThe US cannot win a trade war, the US versus the world. It's simple mathematics, and in the geopolitical realm, What Trump is doing is going to push countries away from US influence. \nI'm all for putting the US first, I'm all for cutting the federal government fat, and I'm all for making sure we the people come first, but I'm also smart enough to know that anytime the US has gone into isolationism, it's led to global conflict.

I thought he was going to be gone by now…

Remember, no matter what he says.... his own people thought he wasnt fit for the canadian job. He is resigning. Get lost and go retire

I thought this clown was going to resign

Trump now has his hands on the FBI's access to 702 intercept technologies. Will Trump abide by the laws or will he use 702 intercepts to go after his political enemies. Thoughts former non-compromised intel community? Murdoch is a M.I.C.E. catcher.

Stop lieing to us its TRUDEAU THATS A DICTATOR AND SO IS ZELINSKI.... I THOUGHT YOU RESIGNED WHY ARE YOU EVEN SPEAKING FOR CANADIANS AT ALL ... GO AWAY

I am from Romania EU and i wish for a PM like Trudeau. I admire Canada and always thought Canada is a great country. Many of my friend's moved there and every time i speak to one of them always telling me how great the country is and how smooth the things are going when everybody gets to a common front

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.

Meanwhile he’s going to up the carbon tax the Canadian people are paying April 1st. Nobody is going to see these tariffs besides the Canadian government treasury. Even thought he’s trying to defend us he’s a donkey and most of Canada can’t stand him

I hope Canada And Mexico doesn't back down. Fucking hate Trump. Lies after Lies and guess what people defend him. Not My president people say. You voted for a dictator that lies through his fucking teeth, hes not going to change. Yall really thought him getting shot was the wake up call? That was his call for him being able to do no wrong, then they say oh you'd rather have Kamala? yes..... Yes I would..... look at our country idiots.... Not saying she would've been much better, but her team at least had common sense, trumps is a bunch of Rich sore losers who cant do nothing wrong.

He did exactly what I thought he was going to do the tariffs are targeting American farmers and food production we sell America 80 percent of our potash. I mean buckle up America your food is about to get a lot more expensive from the moment it starts growing till you buy it.

Just understand Americans you voted in a celebrity as your president you all knew he had no background for the job you all have souled your souls you have strayed away from God you all want the easy way out the shortcuts you all thought that voting him in would make everything easier would cut cost on everything but you we're wrong because God himself will not let you eacape your sins no matter how far you try to run no matter who you think you can bring in to get shortcuts God will not allow and its sad because trump wont hurt for this or pay for it no but the hard working Americans the ones who make this country Go not trump or any of his friends and all of those who believe in him and his agenda who will not be in heaven Amen

Anyone who ever was a victim of bullying understands exactly what is going on and how it will end for those who wants to appease/bend to the bully. Yes, it will be painful for Canada, extremely. But you have to get really sick in order to recover stronger than ever before. Zelensky knew the inner workings of how bullies work so he probably knew the white house meeting won't end cordially especially it is occupied by people he has no love for and he understood the lack of love was mutual. I think he'd bent over and wagged his tail if he thought that'd help his nation but knowing that will not get his country anywhere anyways, why would he bend over and try to please someone who was determined to screw him and his country to begin with. Zelensky saw how Canadian prime minister was treated and how he tried to please Mr. T yet to no avail. Yes, Zelensky has no real good, readily available cards to play. If the game is rigged, no reason to play by your rule, is there?

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.

no kidding, I had to go work (2week contract water treatment DAFT system installation) in Bellingham, WA two years ago and I thought I was gonna get mugged by cartel gang bangers everyday that pretty well ran the lobby and halls of the Bellingham Lodge... couldn't afford anything better, and the company (Tradesman International) did not pay the per-diem as they originally agreed to! Aside that, the Asian owner ran my card again for the hotel charge, and I had to go through my bank's fraud dept. to get it back. They don't shut down or investigate the hotel! WTF? Everything in WA state is corrupt!

I thought lot of people said they hate America? Why they want to go so bad? Apparently they prefer US more Canada.

I thought Canada was going to crack down on this.

I thought this was factual reporting not propaganda fear mongering. You're making all immigrants out to be bad when only a small percentage are garngs and criminals, much like the citizens of the USA too. This channel seriously distorts the truth and panders to right wing extremism. \nThe Trump regime has brainwashed 77 million Americans. Maybe they will wake up when they see that his administration is DOGEing everything needed for citizens in order to give massive tax cuts to billionaires. Do you all not see this? You're being screwed of by a fascist megalomaniac and his cronies. Musk is cutting aid to hungry children and trying to manipulate to deregulate government and get more funding for himself to make himself even more rich. The richest man in the world does zero philanthropy! The US gov't has given him millions in subsidies.\nAnd blinded manipukated right wingers in the US call the people who actually see what is going on 'sheeple' and tell them to 'wake up'. How ironic.\nIf you're a working class citizen, this regime is fucking you over. How's the price of eggs now?

I have been watching you for a long time. And there is always a point you are not addressing in most of what I have heard. You will probably laugh at what I am about to say but please hear me out. The progressives running the policy’s do not only hate America for whatever reason, they hate God. They might not say that and even rebuke anyone who thinks that. I’m not going to get into that, it’s a whole Nother subject, but Jesus said those that hate good or worship being a false Jesus, even though they think they’re worshiping the true God. They are not, and so therefore they are what the Bible says, our worshiping a false God, who is the god of this world who was Satan. Now after saying that I would say that you can see that in their action. Anyone who wants to debate what’s going on in New York City on the side of correcting the problem has a point of view. But the ones that wanna keep these loss in place cannot justify any of their actions in debate that makes sense. They are liars and are following the father of lies and that’s all there is to it. The problem will not be fixed in your city until you having a big turnaround of leadership. People who are accountable to this constituents. People who love this country, not hated. Only a satanic group could hate this country that gives them every opportunity they could ask for. If you asked them, would they want to live in any of the other countries in the world they won’t answer you they will get part from the question and they will call you a miss information White supremacist or if you’re black a uncle Tom. They have an answer for anything good because their father is no other than evil. They get their playbook from evil. They can’t stand to be around any success. And one last thought. Joe Biden was ruled by evil. He opened the border on purpose to destroy this country at the same time. He was making millions from our adversaries. His actions have proven it over and over, but yet he’s not persecuted for the crime he committed. After you have a president that has destroyed America in so many ways. And the people that hate America love him. But he is gone now so they have to fight harder against Trump.\n Don’t have to mention any of the religious stuff in any of your segments, but at least keep that in mind so you have a clear picture and keep up the good work.

It used to be known that at certain times during the day, various border crossing points weren’t manned just open. I can almost guarantee that’s not happening anymore. Years ago I was coming home from Montreal and waited for someone to come out and check my paperwork and license, someone heading north shouted over that no one was there until 6 so just go. I shouted back that I thought someone had to check my car and paperwork. The other guy said if you’re not worried about your stuff being checked, just go. I seriously waited weeks to hear something about it, nope, crickets…

I thought Migrants love going to Canada for their benefits?

Invasion:\nthe entrance or advent of anything troublesome or harmful, as disease. entrance as if to take possession or overrun: the annual invasion of the resort by tourists. infringement by intrusion. invasion\n\nI thought Canada was going to secure their border against this kind of invasion into the USA?\n\nClose the Northern Border. Ban ALL asylum claims.\nNearly ALL asylum claims are bogus.

I thought the migrants going through Canada was a stupid lie. Looks like I was wrong.

I find that hard to believe. I went to Niagara Falls going into Canada with no problem coming out of Canada was ridiculous. There was some border guard there, he thought he was special forces, the way he was dressed. It was ridiculous.

With Trump running this country why would anyone want to even come here? I thought Canada was doing better at their borders as people I know going through their get such hassles. Weird. I only agree with one thing with this president not letting anyone here illegally, getting rid of the gangs and criminals and holding them accountable for their crimes.

i thought canada was about to help? i guess not, they are showing they can't be trusted and should not be in our same stock market. because wherever our stocks go Canada's follows like a clone.

thought Mexico was going to help?

And y'all thought things were going to get better.

So damn glad president Trump took over and safe us , who would ever thought out of this madness spending out of citizens tax dollars, children at school go hungry homeless is everywhere, veterans is dying each day on the street , the money they spend to surgery a trans coud chance 10 veterans life period.

??? yall thought when trump said deport migrants he was just talking about Mexicans lol had yall thinking he was going after bad Mexican gang members lol

I don’t know where all this is going, but I know where we’ve been. The previous administration has given these people false hope I say they all need to go home to wherever home may be there has been a great deception and the devil has planted his seeds we just need to pull out the weeds And burn them the great furnace of life. My compassion goes out to these people that they are in the wrong place go home and try to make your own countries. Better do what maybe you’re doing here enough is enough. They say we have a new sheriff in town and a new garbage man And he’s trying to clean this mess up that he did not start Joe Biden did and all his Looney Tunes and that is not hate speech that’s just stating the fact that I have prayed for all of these people there is no saying that hell is coming. I got news for them. Jesus is coming. Is your name written in the book of life? I hope you all ask yourself. may you find the Lord Jesus on your travels get away from the people that are fueling these things before you catch on fire find your way home we’ll be praying for you. He’s just my thoughts. What is yours?

I saw on the News all these Indians jumping up and down celebrating when Trump won the election. They don't look too happy now. These Indians thought they weren't going to get deported. You get what you all voted for. ?

Who gives ? \nGet em out \n\nI'm noticing that there are some folks doing some serious whining about the Trump administration. So I thought I'd post some thoughts. \n\n1. Accept the fact that this is the leadership that we (the majority of) working, middle class Americans wanted. We are pulling the economic weight in this country and we are tired of pulling the weight of those that do not contribute.\n\n2. If you haven't already, get a job. Every business in the country is hiring. And you get paid for the work you do. And the harder you work and the more you learn, the faster you will advance, and the more you will earn. It's an amazing concept.\n\n3. Understand that if you are a U.S. Citizen, or have already started the legal process to become a U.S. Citizen that you are not going to get deported! I don't care what your favorite liberal media channel says.\n\n4. Tariffs are a bargaining chip. When you are in business you make deals, and sometimes you have to play hardball. That's how you get the deals you desire.\n\n5. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects you from discrimination by age, sex, race, etc. DEI openly violates this. Democrats want you to believe the opposite is true because they value your vote more than your quality of life.\n\n6. It's not the government's money, it's your money. You absolutely should give a damn about how it is spent.\n\n7. We are not the World Bank. If other countries need help they should raise their own finances. I don't recall receiving any hurricane relief money from India or China.\n\n8. Drill baby, drill. Want to know why? Because we have it. Are electric cars the future? Not in their current form. There is way more oil in the ground than lithium, and guess where most of that is? China. Want food prices to come down? Then energy costs have to come down. And that means oil, gas, coal, and nuclear. Unicorn farts and liberal tears won't power your car!\n\n9. The economy and the security of the country are far more important than your feelings, get over it.\n\n10. There are men and there are women. Simple as that.\n\n11. Education is to establish a learning core that prepares a child for the real, working world. Anything else is wrong.\n\n12. Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States and he won by a landslide — both the popular vote and the electorial vote. Get over it.

Sorry folks the border is closed...now go back home and take a nap. Have any of you folks ever thought of starting a Softball team? ?

They need to know the country is not going to be a doormat anymore. And have they ever thought about working to improve things in their own countries because last I checked every other country is 100x more sophisticated than the US.

What I don’t get is America isn’t against immigrants coming to America (the legal way) but people want to protest coming here illegally and are upset people are getting deported because they didn’t come the legal way. I work with a ton of guys that came to America the legal way and are all for deporting the illegals back to where they came from. The legal immigrants work hard and pay taxes and illegals don’t pay taxes they get benefits and haven’t paid their dues like the legal immigrants had to do to get in. Taking care of illegals takes away from Americans getting the help they need and we have to pay taxes. They protest and wave the Mexico flag holding signs saying “Immigrants built America” and $hit on the things America has done for them. If they built America and are so proud to be from Mexico then why don’t you build Mexico up like you say you did in America. If it’s so great why are you coming to America illegally and running from your country. Do you think protesting and blocking streets and highways is going to get you anywhere with Trump and do you think your going to win the American people over by pissing them off doing stupid things like blocking highways and Streets. You don’t win people over by pissing them off and you don’t win Americans over Shitting on America waving your flag when this country has done more for you then your own country. If you came here illegally and broke the law then you should’ve thought about that before doing it and being put on the ICE list.Go back and by all means come back when your legally allowed and while you wait for that to happen and the papers to go through build up your own Country!

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

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????????????

I always viewed Canada and US as brothers, elder being a bully and the younger just going about its business. I never ever thought it will come to this... and If he occupies Greenland it will also loose the EU. What if BRICS and EU goes against US? Initially it might bring more jobs and money to US but this will be the last nail in the coffin, for some reasons I feel the beginning of the end for US has begun.

that.. may be one of the excuses the dunderhead has kept thought. their supporters are easily confused anyway, so when the economic hardship hits, he could just go [imagine whiney, nasal, complaining voice]: _‘it's because of the tarriffs they've put on us.. we did a good thing by putting tarriffs on them and they [sniff] tarriff usss!!’_ ?

Trump has started a war against its allies (Canada, Mexico EU, Denmark). Previously, I thought he had a plan, now It seems like he is just happy with controversial speeches and media headlines, I don't think his actions are going to benefit America.

Somalia is the land of pirates. Just saying! They all got to go! God Bless Donald Trump for finally turning things back in American taxpayer's favor placing American family safety as a priority. Democrats are a complete disgrace for what they have done to America! They all thought this would never happen with them taking total control of America, just dumb! MAGA is the beat!

First week and we’re going back to the same thought we’ve learned as a country and these networks all they do is divide the country by gaslighting us

It's going to get to the point where there's going to be nothing but military at the borders because these people are out of their f****** minds. But they thought they would bum rush and guess what, they were stopped. Go home fix your own f****** country. Don't come here and don't bring your cucarachas with. you. No Venezuela. Guatemala

CNN doing more sane washing of trumps disputable actions!!!\nCNN why are you not correctly reporting WHY Columbia refused the MILITARY planes!!!\nThis photo opp stunt cost Americans almost $900,000.00!! Also this stunt could be ILLEGAL!!! Oh I forgot laws don’t matter when it comes to the MIST CORRUPT PRESIDENT in US history!!!\nTrump could care less about the cost to you ignorant Americans!!!!\nBut hey keep cheering for this vile conman!!\nAmerica is turned into a cesspool over night with this fasist vile criminal as your president!!!\nWow how dumb are Americans?? Apparently EXTREMELY dumb! You voted for THAT thing not once but twice!!!!\nBrain dead Americans!!!!\nGood job you fricken idiots!!! You got exactly what you voted for! He told you all what he was going to do but I guess you thought being apart if trumps cult would protect you!!! ???? it’s not! Trump could care less about you! He chewed you up and is now spitting you out with a huge smile on his face!!! Good job American imbeciles!!!!
