Wouldn't it be nice if our president would be a president instead of a dictator and hurting the american people and help us grow instead of breaking us down and making it worse for us. He don't want minerals from Canada but he just tried to make a deal with Ukraine for minerals from them, it does not make sense when Canada was one of our best allies for the United States

President Trump should ask their citizens if this is what they want all countries against them or Russia. I bet not but.

Peter Thiel is wanting to \nDestroy the American economy through his lapdogs President Musk and his puppet Trump! DO YOUR RESEARCH!

The difference in comments between CNN viewers & ACTUAL news outlets is incredible. All of the TDS patients gather here because they know CNN will tell them what they want to hear. You’re all deluded & you don’t even know it. Incredible. Have prices increased? Can you provide evidence to show these price increases? Maybe you people should move to a different country. If you like Canada so much they got plenty of space. Trump is the president. Get over it. You people are genuinely pathetic

The worst president! But this is what yall wanted all because you didn’t want an overly qualified black woman as president.

Do anyone have the Canadian president phone number? I want him to know I don’t have anything to do with this. So don’t say the American people. One person did this….

As an American, I want our Canadian neighbors to know that MANY Americans agree with and support Canada ?. Our President is an embarrassment to the whole world.

As an American, I stand with you Canada. I do not want this clown as my president.

As a Canadian, \n\nTrudeau is stepping down because he is hated by the majority of this country. He has suspended parliament for his parties own special interest, making it it impossible to properly respond to anything. \n\nTrudeau does not speak for Canada. He’s the reason we’re in this mess. You Americans do not want Trudeau as your president he has ruined this country.

Canada leaders are on target! They should not allow this worthless bully Trump to bully them! How senseless and ridiculous for Trump to cause this huge problem! Trump wants to be a dictator like Russia president which is why he speaks so favorably about Russia and speak down to our allies and our leaders.\nAmerica foolishly voted Trump back into office , now watch as he destroy this country , families , jobs and alike. \nPrices are higher than ever, Americans will go further into debt with the tariffs our allies are being forced to do!\nOur allies will NEVER TRUST US again

Trudeau, focus on fixing your own country first. The high taxes, the massive carbon taxes that Canadians do not want, and the rising grocery and housing prices are becoming unbearable. Stop shifting blame onto President Trump. While he works hard for his country, you should be doing the same for yours.

I want him for president of the USA

I'm just going to clarify something remember when they said Trump had allies with Russia now you see what the Democrats were talking about. Trump always blames democrats for his faults. Trump had you guys convinced not to vote for Democrat. Now are allies don't even want to deal with the US anymore which is understandable because of what the whole nation seen with their own eyes and heard with their own ears. Trump says he wants to make America Great American dream not for Americans maybe for you Republicans I guarantee a lot of Republicans don't agree with him but they all are scared to say anything to Trump and his team which that is disturbing within itself. Trump needs to be impeached he's causing to much chaos and still getting away with people's lives in real life situations this is not a joke. As for JD Vance his vice president he was laughing and asking Zelenskyy why was he not wear a suit what about Elon musk he wasn't wearing a suit? And when you ask another person to come from another country to the White House they are dressed in their traditional clothing to be mocked by these men is despicable. Real people lost their jobs, real people are dying that need aid,for them to shut down the military aid was a slap in the face,mind you they sit back and laugh about it.. Russia is the last person Trump should be nice Putin is not on the US side it's obvious but Trump laughs with him, communicate better with Putin which is disturbing as well. Having the power and money makes people so entwined into their own world,Trump should think about Americans first and not act like a disrespectful person he ruined his chance not Zelenskyy. Now We the people are looking at our President and vice President like the are unhinged, disrespectful, uncompassionate, and down right rude. Kamala,Tim warned everyone Barak, Michelle, Biden did also y'all should have listened. I voted for Kamala and Tim. If Trump wants peace he needs to stop with all the madness and focus fixing the US.

I really believe that it just comes down to Trump feeling resentment that he will never be part of a perceived 'inner circle' of establishment world leaders. It's probably over that one time when they were caught on a hot mic dissing him with Trudeau kind of leading the pack. Over the years Trump has shown over and over again that he is that petty and all of his decisions have an absolutely childish basis, yet the American people voted him in a second time. I've run out of patience with the American people too. They're not really doing anything about this except saying online that they support Canada just so they can feel a little better about themselves. If you guys want a dumpy predator for president that's your business but I will be doing my part to fight him and his unjust attacks against my country.

It's not the American people who want this trade war, it's our stupid president.

We know you don't want this Mr. Trudeau and our Canadian friends.\nUnfortunately, we have an Orange Coconut for president that was put into office by MAGA Coconuts and stupid/lazy democrats who either voted for him or did not vote at all.\n\nWe are in a stupor and really don't know what to do at this time.

Yeah, most of Americans don’t want this either. Many Americans who voted for whoever is really acting as president are regretting and those of us who didn’t, saw this coming a mile away.

Cut the power off to the U.S. ?? and stop the 4 million barrels of oil going over the border put a stop to the Uranium going south no more Nickle or steel or Aluminum, Potash for their Farmers stop that also, the additional measures being considered will be painful and unfortunately the majority of Americans don't realize what's coming their way sure Canada ?? will feel pain also but we are standing up for what's right these tariffs is an unprovoked attack on our economy and you can bet Vladimir Putin ?? is smiling now knowing Trump can be compromised just look at what Putin ?? has managed to do so far he has manipulated Trump into alienating all his allies which has now happened you can bet that Vladimir Putin ?? is going milk this till he either succeeds in destroying the world ? view of the U.S.?? or manipulates Trump into telling him things he shouldn't to further his plans because if you think Vladimir Putin ?? does have a deck of cards up his sleeve you're nieve he has shook the hands of 2 dictators, Kim Jong Un ?? and Vladimir Putin ?? and has burned all his bridges with allies and you still think Russia isn't trying to interfere politically so it works to their advantage it already has. Hell he is ex KGB for crying out loud if that's not a red flag then the U.S.?? has more issues than I thought. How could Trump and his thugs attack President Zelensky ?? on live T.V. for the world ? to see how disrespectful, cruel, a total lack of compassion for a president who has had his country destroyed he's losing his people and that shirt President Zelensky was wearing was from a young girl back in Ukraine the U.S. ?? played Judge, Jury and executioner on live T.V. They are punishing President Zelensky for absolutely no reason by stalling aid to Ukraine his people are being slaughtered and they want Ukraine to give up territory and that's not acceptable under any circumstances Trump is trying to force President Zelensky ?? into a deal with Russia ?? by stalling aid. So let's punish people in a country that has been destroyed even more to force them into a deal with Russia ?? that would require Ukraine to give up territory absolutely not! Ukraine must remain in tact and return to its former glory ?? the United States of America ?? can no longer be trusted especially if they attacked their closest allies and insulted us continually did WW1 and WW2 mean absolutely nothing to the U.S.?? when Iran ?? took American hostages Canadians ?? worked tirelessly to devise a plan to get them back to the U.S. and succeeded in doing Just that the Canadians brought back the Americans safely. When 9/11 happened and Canada ?? took on thousands of passengers in Gander Newfoundland Canada ?? we opened our airspace and landed each and every one of them safely then when Americans couldn't get their medication, Gander gave it to them free of charge when Americans went shopping for clothes the stores gave it to them free of charge everything they needed was provided free of charge they were fed housed offered compassion and opened their homes so Americans could shower and clean up. So Canadians has always been there for the U.S.?? and this is how Canada ?? is repaid for its sacrifices made during both wars and other historical events that involved both countries ????? So if the world ? sees the U.S. attacking it closest allie for no reason and insulting Canada ?? at every turn and spreading complete lies about Canadians saying we want to be the 51 St State! No Canadians want that I can tell you, not for anything or any amount of Gold or currency would Canadians want to be part of the U.S.?? we'll the world ? has seen the 2 faces of the United States ?? now and you can bet the confidence in all aspects in that country will plummet! The ?? can't be trusted anymore.

I'm a Canadian who has always voted for Prime Minister Trudeau and I will continue to vote liberal. I heard a person on the Jake Tapper, C NN, this afternoon say all the companies are coming to the USA not Canada, he didn't mention that they come because they don't have to pay a lot of taxes. Us Canadians take great offense that the spawn of the devil wants to annex our country and he refers to our Prime Minister as governor. The orange dumb criminal and his maggots would probably give part of our country to snakehead war tyrant putin who has interest in the Artic and that would involve Greenland. We Canadians don't want to make life difficult for the American people but the dumb evil cheeto likes tariffs. President Zelenski didn't start the war and he won't be the one to start WW3. putin is a war criminal who controls the criminal organization in the White House and it's leader. President Zelenski be careful the spawn of the devil ? and war tyrant can't be trusted. ?????

reciprocal, you charge us, we charge you, this sissy boy has failed Canada. and no, the American people wanted President Trump to put tariffs on you and Mexico for not stopping drugs and are helping China to kill Americans. so, this is your punishment...the world will no longer take advantage of the US any longer, 77 million Americans voted for President Trump take America back from the world stealing from Americans, President Trump has the highest approval rating supporting him.

Mr. Trudeau please go to war with us, take us over and become our President, seriously, I am not joking. I want to leave the U.S. and work in Canada because of this evil regime.

America here: I love Canada. Trump is demonic and we want him, vance, musk impeached. We want Republicans voted out. I stand with President Zelensky and all the countries that love and support him. I voted for VP Kamala Harris and I hope she will be inaugurated once Trump is removed.

I AM CANADIAN. And sad to say I and my family were Trump supporters through halfway through his first term. The BS and blantent vugar talk from his mouth and now criminal conviction was enough. But now that I see Elon Musk , Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezzos and other billionaires in his shady corner I knew something wasnt right! And after how President Zelenskyy was treated, disgusting right for the news to see on purpose. Your President is way too close to Putin and who knows what other countries. Trump, and his cronies want the spoils and treasures of Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and Gazza! BTW Trump your welcome from Canada ?? for helping putting out your fires in California! But, then again we know you wont thank Canada! Hey Americans Canada ?? loves you! Alot of great history together! Lets not let trump and his cronies divide us!

So many ignorant people here in these comments. The president is charging countries the same percentage of tarrifs that they charge us. So if Canada wants to pay for 0% for tarriffs, they needs to remove the 25% we pay as well

Trump is causing havoc in America all for his own benefit. \nFor the 2nd time running, Trump is voted the worse President in history. \nThere is doubt Trump wants to start a war. \nImpeach the delusional deranged Trump now - Bring on the 25th Amendment !

I still can’t for the life of me understand why we went through a version of this once already and somebody here still keeps wanting more. Why? Why keep aligning with a “President” who seems hellbent on revenge and throwing us all overboard unless you’re at least a millionaire? The kinds of people placed in control right now are the very ones we all have been and should be fighting against still! Rich people have no interest in the issues and problems facing anybody with a net value of less than $1,000,000. We are just pawns for them to use in their pursuit of further wealth!

This is insane! America stands with our allies. ALWAYS. I cannot believe this crap is happening! TRUMP NEEDS TO LEAVE THE WHITE HOUSE! Americans do not want this and do not agree with this dame PRESIDENT! GOD HELP US!

I want that guy to be my president Im moving to Canada or the UK want a competent leader not an orange sour head who doesn't understand business or politics and his little disrespectful side kick JD Vance should have got his Azz kicked by President Zelensky for talking while grown people are talking

The only reason President Trump is ‘friendly’ with Russia is because he wants to stop the war. He does not want a WW3!

Wow Donald TRUMP is a horrible person. He somehow became President of the United States of America. I don’t blame people who believed his lies, but let us hope we can make it through his first year in office. Let us hope that our representatives, decide to stick up for democracy and not hang on Trumps coattails. I would hope they want to leave a legacy to better America and its people not drag us through the mud.

Americans: from what I see so far, this president has a vendetta against the American government becuase he was indicted on so many counts. I see a man with a vengence who wants to destroy America. Be aware of this man. He is up to no good.

Except he's not speaking directly to President Trump, because President Trump isn't there.\nHe saw what happened to Zelenski, and wants no part of sitting face to face with Trump & Vance. \nCanada's richest province is more poor than our poorest state (Alabama). \nThank Justin. Good luck with your retaliatory tarrifs though.

I am American independent voter who vote against Treasonous Trump this past election of 2024 in favor of Kamala Harris. While many of my fellow Americans voted for Trump many others like me did not. Now so many good and event Americans are going to suffer because of many Maga or Maga supporting Americans who foolishly chose to support Trump and his lies. Any pain and suffering Anti Trump supporting Americans, along international American Allies and theuir people, suffer will be squarely on the shoulders of Maga and Maga supporting Americans.\n\nHow Trumps first term wasn’t a wake up call and eye opener to how terrible he was and is as president is beyond me. He, treasonous Trump, did nothing to help our economy which essentially stalled or went into generally neutral state with essentially no growth positively or negatively, followed by a near complete nose dive due to Treasonous Trump’s poor handling and equally poor response to the Covid-!9 Pandemic. How people could seemed to forget that Treasonous Trump, not Joe Biden, was responsible for the current sate of things following the pandemic is beyond me. \n\nMaga and Maga supporting Americans have been conned again by Treasonous Trump, who not only failed to properly respond to the Covid pandemic but also incited and or encouraged many of Maga supporters to essentially attack the US Capitol in hopes of stopping Joe Biden’s Presidential Certification. Those in the Inter national world are not alone in their condemnation of the disgrace and embarrassment that sis current US President Trump. True Americans who believe in our constitution and rule of law as decreed by the founding fathers of our nation must unfortunately bare part of the shame Maga America has brought upon our country as a whole.Truly good and decent Americans must bare the shame of now living in a country that much International world now no longer trusts and has lost respect for. For all the hateful Maga thinking and or supporting Americans there are as many truly good non maga Americans who want more peaceful relations with allies in the international world. Sadly because of Trump and his hate many must now unjustly suffer .

As American, We can’t help neighbors who don’t want to help us stop murdering our citizens with drugs. America shall stay strong and have victory because they doing what’s right and fair. God bless America and president Trump.

I can tell y’all dont play chess ♟️ Politics is just like a chess game with more pieces. This guy is about to leave office and when the next prime minister comes watch what happens ? this “trade war” is a bluff to make them do what we want, checker players ? no American nor Canadian will be hurt during this genius move ? look at Mexican president feeling the pressure that they coughed up 29 cartel members and they just got extradited to New York including one that killed a US DEA agent in 1985! With the threat of tariffs the Colombian president changed his mind about picking up his own people that crossed our border illegally instantly. He even sent his own planes ✈️ to get them. Our tariffs is to bring jobs back to America ?? and a major negotiating tool. Ya’ll confused Democrats in the comment section don’t even know what planet ? you standing on.

Ukraine has neo Nazi military called “Azov” do your research before blame Putin for starting a war, Ukrainian nationalists attacked east of Ukraine after east wanted to join Russia after Ukrainian revolution in 2014 where legitimate president was removed by force against the law.

Long as United States money is Flying out the doors everyone is Happy but soon as they find unfairness going on… They wanting to Blame President Trump .. He’s are last Hope to save United States because down the road there won’t be any money for other countries to beg for there’s none left …. CHANGE IS DIFFICULT… But it has to be done for United States

I am Canadian and I love my country. I love Americans and my American family. What your President is doing is destroying everything he puts his hands on. He just wants to rob everyone of their natural resources and make them pay for the US border. We are not responsible for your side of the border. It's not our job to pay to fix your problems. Yet our Prime Minister is pouring billions of Canadians' tax payers' dollars on this. He needs to stop because nothing will get solved until your president stops what he's doing and starts paying for and fixing the problems within the US. I hope he gets booed off the podium tonight.

From my humble little european country I wanted to say I got tears in my eyes of your president's speech. So wonderfull and respectfull!

In just a few weeks, Donald Trump has demonstrated to be the worst president in American history, and apparently to be the only president who wants to destroy the economy of his own country.

Paula Newton, how dare you use the phrase anti-americanism! This is one of the most emotionally contained and dignified responses do the bullying president of the United States that I've heard so far. Trudeau has every right to be as pointed as he wants. I hate what Trump is doing and I live here! Trump doesn't speak for me. I have friends in Canada. Canadians are absolutely welcomed to help us do something to rein in the power of the dictator in training, Trump.

Governor Trudeau wants to defy his President? it's treason then! ?

Please don't categorize us all with President Toupee. I stand with you Canada! We will see you in 4 years God willing. I pray that you don't hold what the administration does against the American citizens who didn't want or ask for this.

Basically Trump wants to bully the world and run over the country you were elected president. This alignment has\n no point to the process except to take the prosperity from our gates.\nTrump must be taken out of office people

As an American, I do not want this either! I did not vote for this and I am feeling very helpless. I am a NEVER TRUMPER. Trump is a bully and a narcissist and I don’t think there is any reasoning with this man. You have to stroke his ego and I wouldn’t blame you for not playing games with our impetuous childish President. Additionally, many are stuck in the illusory effect better know as the big lie effect. If you tell a lie often enough it becomes “true”. Narcissists are dangerous people especially when they are given power. We love you Canada?? I am so incredibly sorry.

I want a president like Trudeau in Canada!!❤

Trump is good a being president in many ways because he is a business man, not a politician, but in business it's about dominating the market place and your competition, bending them to your will if you can, but when you are president, you need to keep alliances with other countries, not dominate over them, otherwise you weaken your position on the world stage. When you are at the top with the biggest economy, army, you don't need to beat down those with less, you need to keep them on your side so their strength adds to your own, which is why you are at the top. Even a mafia boss won't beat down those under him, unless he wants war, and lose his position as others form alliances to take over top position as no powerful person, president, country wants to be beaten down into submission by anyone, so they create other alliances to match or overtake those at the top. In this case, Trump needs to play the politician or weaken his position, and China will be loving this as they are next in line.

The insane megalomania driven felon as a self made serial lying King and insane draft dodging cowardly tyrant is orchestrating a criminal coup in Washington with his insane butt licking heritage 2025 ignorant human monsters as hand selected men defending his vices. Donald Trump and his criminal Vice President screamed, and bullied and demanded the complete acknowledgment of their greatness wanting peace accusing president Zelensky of starting world war III like high school imbeciles and bullies calling themselves diplomatic. \n\n\nThe truth is you and your criminal activities on the world stage and supporting genocide and American and Russian plunder, from an insane felon and felonious dishonest vice president in Washington orchestrating a coup and voting in the United Nations with Russia and North Korea are the most insane leaders in the Western world bring the world closer to world war III. You insane coup attempting cowards spouting Russian propaganda are certifiably insane MAGA criminals, \n\n\nIT is you morons destroying your own nation with an insane unstable dangerous serial lying not sane King.orchestrating a Texas Chainsaw massacre of workers lives. Orchestrating an insane heartless federal purge. A purge that has nothing to do with merit or their quality of work. You insane egregiously hate flled monsters, must wake up in the morning like insane mental patients, wondering how many lives you can destroy today tomorrow and in the future? You are the heartless insane sub human swamp monsters, not the workers.and it is you marching to world war III not president Zelensky.

I guess Trudeau what to FAFO like Zelensky did. You don't win against Trump. Trudeau is back off like they all do. His country doesn't want or need his stupid ass. Now he's going call OUR PRESIDENT Donald?? Wrong move.

You better watch what your saying about UNITED STATES President . You don't want to look in the sky and the stars falling.
