Reciprocal tariffs is a trade war? Weird

As a foreigner, I felt weird when he said that 'this is what our enemy wants to see', does he wants North American continent vs other continent s like Europe or Asia? I just don't like this part of his speech.

Weird to have a smart leader.

I found quite weird the comment of Paula Newton. If you answer to an act of market aggression, you are anti American. So to be a friend to Americans you need to thank and kneel when the boss shows up. Quite a strange, weird concept of friendship.

He is weird ?

JT is usually the one screwing over Canada. Must be weird for him to talk about someone else doing it.

We are all living in strange times! The bad guy (Putin) is defended like he’s the good guy and the victim (Zelensky) is criticized like he’s the aggressor. This is so weird and negative like an episode of the Twighlight Zone! I think I can understand how Trump is viewing things. Bill O’Reilly seems to know how Trump thinks. Nevertheless, things are upside down! USA voting at the UN with North Korea and Putin and Belarus and against the EU and UK and NATO alliance nations … against the victim Ukraine? This is unheard of! Yet this is so ironic because Leonid Brezhnev, who was the USSR leader, when Russia invaded the sovereign nation of Afghanistan, and Vladimir Putin was a young KGB agent at that time, working for Brezhnev, is now in his position as leader, and he invaded Brezhnev’s sovereign homeland of Ukraine. Brezhnev must be weeping from hell and regretting his invasion of Afghanistan! Crying from hell, seeing his servant, Putin, in his seat of authority, and invading his homeland like he did to Afghanistan, I’m sure Brezhnev regrets but it’s too late now. He’s burning in hell and he can’t get out of hell! \n\nThe bad deal that Clinton and Yeltson and John Major dealt to Ukraine in the 1990s when they moved all of her nuclear weapons to Russia was like declawing the Ukrainian cat and now the cat can’t defend herself against aggressors because she has no claws to defend herself from aggressive attackers!\n\nCanada and Mexico are our friends not our enemies! China and North Korea still idolize the USSR/CCCP flag and Soviet Union hammer and sickle. Putin is a thug and gangster like Joseph Stalin. Everyone forgot what happened to Alexander Litvinenko except for those like John Bolton. \n\nWe are all living in perilous times! The wrongdoer (Putin) is called good and the victim (Zelensky) is called bad! This is so negatively bizarre and wrong! Isaiah 5:20 warns against this! Putin is not pure evil but he’s definitely not a good guy! He’s a gangster and thug like Al Capone! I think President Trump is walking on a tight rope by trying to make a good deal with Putin. And that tight rope spans from one high rise building to another - the senate and house chambers of the US legislature. The midterms are coming soon and if President Trump loses the house and senate, that tight rope could snap! And all those shock and awe executive orders etc. could come back to haunt him like a boomerang thumping his head.\n\nNever in my wildest imagination would I ever imagine Canadians harboring bad feelings towards the USA! This is 180 degrees opposite of how things were when Ronald Reagan and Brian Mulroney were in the political arena!

I see a LOT of emotions here in the comments from people who like to tout where they're from for some really weird reason. I imagine to represent the soap box they stand upon. I find it ironic people are giving underhanded insults to Donald Trump by comparing how Trudeau speaks, yet I can almost guarantee those same people brag about how they refuse to listen to a word Donald Trump says. So its a really silly way to try to insult someone. Also just checked some of my stocks daily returns. Up over 2%. So he was wrong within the first 10 minutes. I suspect the market will become more bullish as some of the companies that have made deals to create factories in the US complete them and start churning out products made locally.

Wes Clark is a smart man, and he doesn't understand this process. Russia is now the USAs strongest ally. Weird.

Republicans sure like Russia, but not Canada. Weird

It's interesting he didn't mention anything about the 232 Canadian Tariffs to US Goods already in place for years on things such as Steel, Aluminum, and a slew of household goods and appliances. Weird.

I hope Canada and the EU can get closer, and set up trade of most of our natural resources with them BEFORE Trump get yelled at to change things so theyre extra screwed. I also dont understand why the USA is so hell bent on making Russia happy and their Allies angry, is the USA and RUSSIA the new Allies? Dont Americans find this unnerving??!?!?!?! This is all goijng to make China the new real SuperPower on its own with a ton of Soft Power while they continue to ramp up development around the world and the USA is being gutted by a business man and his unelected NAZI buddy Elon....so weird...!

Yall some sad Americans fr yall just good with the U.S funding an being taken advantage of yall weird. Oh an don’t waste ya time replying cuz if you do you a dick eater.It’s America first

Weird to think that instead of Canada being the 51st state, it’s the US that’ll be the Russian acquisition. Way to go MAGA! FAFO!!!

It is like we are living in some weird dystopian America and it is not feeling or looking BONITA (pretty)!

it's really weird to hear a leader speak in full sentences, use big words and not call anyone names.

Look at this weird looking ghoul of a stuffed suit. \nFree Leslie Bory and make him Canadian PM! \nOh Canada!??

America is weird. From England ???????

Everyone hates you Donald. Your a weird loser.

It's weird how they are taking it so bad unlike the United States ??

weird, where are the trump supporters now

Why is Trump picking fights with all of America's allies and cozing up to their foes? Quite weird!

As much as people talked about Biden's cognitive decline, why is it so taboo to talk about Trump's decline? All of this is weird. People, please call your elected officials and tell them we don't want this. Hearing from you before you go to the polls to fire them in a few years will hopefully cause them to do something about the president. I'll say it again, this is weird.

Isn’t it tragic that Trump is wreaking havoc with the fentanyl excuse by causing economic harm to Canada and Mexico while having an addict billionaire doing weird drugged out gestures while destroying the government and Americans’ lives on land, air and sea! Nero trump and Caligula Musk…just so dystopian!

What is wrong with Trump. We used to be friends, but now US have new people in leading positions and all went to s*it. As European citisen i would like to see we are all friends like we used to be for 80 years. Or am i weird?

Weird world where i agree with Justin Trudeau. Truly odd times.

Its weird logic that Trump thinks 'destroying an economy' is going to make people WANT to join you.

It feels weird to hear a coherent president speak clearly and intelligently.

you know before covid, we receive calls from indian Canadian, they speak English. now indian they just call to speak indian. that's weird.

Who would have thought the us/canadian border would need protection cause of illegal migrants... weird times...

As crazy as Trump can be with his mouth at times, this is why he was re-elected. Trump is going burn the house down while fixing things and breaking things. Biden caused one of the greatest national security crisis's this country has ever seen and he should still be held accountable for it. Biden's weird gay agenda is just immoral, just look at his son Hunter's lost and immoral behavior. Gee, thanks dad...Your a great role modal...And thanks for all you did to get President Trump re-elected...Couldn't have done it without ya...

Canadians, weird. probably the weather.

That's weird, I thought they said there weren't anyone crossing from Canada. You're telling me they would lie?

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.

Wait why do we have Indian Sikh and Punjabi as 3 different categories, so there are non punjabi non Indian sikh and non sikh non Indian Punjabi that's weird. As there is also a different category for Hindu, muslim and pakistan so if people does fall in last 3 shouldn't be falling in first 3 ?

This is really sad becuase life after deportations is tough for somebody who was raised in USA. I was taken to the U.S. as a baby and grew up there, but at 19, I was sent back to Mexico—a country I had no memory of, no connections in, and barely spoke the language. My entire family had migrated when I was little, so I was left to figure everything out on my own.\n\nComing back felt like being thrown into an unfamiliar world. I wasn’t fluent in Spanish, had a weird accent, and my mindset was completely different from those who grew up in Mexico. I used to be outgoing and got along with everyone, but now I’ve become more introverted. I struggle to relate to people, have trouble socializing, and often feel like I don’t belong. I feel completely alone, with no one to talk to in person because everyone sees me as an outsider. Many even think I’m a terrible person for coming back after being raised in the very place they dream of moving to.\n\nMaking friends has been challenging too. Many assume that because I grew up in the U.S., I have more money, and friendships often come with the expectation that I’ll pay for everything.\n\nOn top of that, daily life is a struggle. Renting a place is extremely difficult because I don’t have a co-signer from Mexico, and they won’t accept one from the U.S. Getting legal documents like a passport is nearly impossible because my parents haven’t been in the Mexican system for over 19 years, and officials tell me they have no way to prove who I am. Unlike in the U.S., where there are laws against discrimination, I face rejection at every turn here.\n\nThis life is hard. I wish my family had never migrated—or at least had done so after I was old enough to understand the risks and what could happen in the future.

Lol they are criminals. Do something illegal. You are a criminal. Weird liberals dont understand that

Canada could join the European Union. Yes, it would be weird. But we are living in weird times. I have heard discussions about it.

China is where most of the ingredients for Fentanyl are imported from! But Elon has a Tesla Factory there. Weird, eh?

You were born as a man and feel comfortable being a woman, it's the same as lying to yourself since birth, my friend. And you are a soldier, this is really crazy, I am a man and feel weird. WTF DUDE..

The visa issue is bcos Indians flood other countries and behave weird —- like Thailand does not like Indian tourists who do not know how to behave

I have never met a single person who is weird enough to be chill with this weird creep. Coming from a gay guy
