As a Taiwanese, I condemn Canada for whining like a baby. We have already received enough benefits from the United States in the past. Now, the whole world must unite around Taiwan and the United States to counter the growing threat from China.

i thought that lying thief and snake had resigned already after he was caught red handed

Didn't Castro Jr already resign....

ah..... so you haven't already been charging larger tariffs on the US than the US has? hmmmm. Is there anything fair you can offer, like equal tariffs and no Fentinal?

none of this affects trump or wealthy americans\nit will only hurt those already pinching pennys\nthere must be another way\nthis tit for tat game is exactly what trump is looking for\nhe is bored

What tarrifs does Canada already impose? Over 200% on some goods. This is all done to encourage economic goals.

Funny nobody mentions the Canadian tariffs already in place on US goods. Good luck ruining Canadas economy. When is Trudeau leaving? ??

Bend the knee already. thought bro resigned? lol

I don't care what side of the fence you sit on. I did not need to hear this man speak to already know Canada was, but may yet be, our greatest ally and trading partner. I have no idea what possessed Mr. Trump to decide to stab our allies in the back, but it was not something good. 27.5% of voting age adults voted for him. How many of them were serenaded by hollow promises and a good slogan. Perhaps all of the mud slinging and Russian media interference helped? If you add in our more studious teenagers, truly reformed felons, and immigrants who actually deserve a gold card, that number plummets to less than 25%. I won't ask people to wake up, if you are reading this you are already more than capable of finding out that I speak only the hard truth. This means less than a quarter of america wanted this. This means your vote and opinions DO count. I know it is incredibly difficult to reach for and find answers in a world where your president or primary candidate throws 'fake news' in your face on a regular basis. He is actually telling the truth. When he is not telling you is that he is a primary enabler of 'fake news'. To him, only his word is law, only his opinion matters, only he deserves to be on top, and he deserves authority over all of your lives. Do the right thing, we all have a civil duty to understand our candidates to the very best of our ability. When a man has been convicted of dozens of felonies, and we tell you that this is only what we were willing to expose. You may want start believing us. The genuine facts of his past are unilaterally corrupting to our children and good people alike. Do not let the american people repeat their mistakes, force Mr. Trump to atone for his mistakes. No not empower him to sweep them under the rug for the sake of his own arrogance, because that is exactly what he is doing by trying to dismantle the CIA and FBI. These two institutions are shining examples of America's pursuit of freedom and justice. Freedom to keep billionaires from corrupting the morals of our children. Freedom to know that the rule of law is immutable, our constitution is not just a paper with fancy traditional sentiment. Even if the law may sometimes be bent for the sake of decency, forgiveness, and the pursuit of 'united we stand', our constitution cannot. Amendments require the FULL support of nearly all Americans, not 27.5% of unrestricted adults.

All Governor Trudy Mcblackface had to do was control his border like he was asked and to be a good neighbor. Trudy McBlackface also has 200% plus tariffs already on US products. He's going to kill Canada's economy because he's a sh!tbag. Do better Canada.

If my household has already been living more frugal since 2019, how will this affect us?

Is Trudeau ever going to leave . We are tired of you resign already

We have already been giving billions of dollars to foreign countries. So how is this gonna hurt Americans if we not hurting already? As you can see America and the president is tired of being used. Trump said this years ago before thinking about running for president. Everybody is benefiting of American Citizens except the citizens themselves. Unless you are a government official or politician.

Donald sold America to Russia, highest bid he's already being paid

We can't make it reasonable? Im disabled nurse on Medicare and I e already lost Medicaid and a lot of snap and have to pay more for meds... After 30 years as a nurse, I'd rather be dead than live here under this evil devil... I wish I could move to Canada or the UK where there is sanity

Already know that our gov doesn’t care about the people

Any American business thinking about jumping into the Russian market is playing Russian roulette—except every chamber’s loaded. Putin’s already made it clear he’ll jail Americans whenever it suits him, and yet Trump seems determined to push U.S. interests into that trap.\n\nWhich brings me back to the bigger question—what exactly does Putin have on Trump? I get that Trump’s got the moral compass of a reptile hunting for its next meal, but even his own former foreign policy advisors—Bolton, Tillerson, Kelly—have all admitted they can’t quite explain his deference to Putin. I’m not one for conspiracy theories, but damn, at what point do we stop pretending this isn’t deeply suspicious?

It's hilarious they keep being flabbergasted about Trump doing things that their enemies want, because that's exactly who he is working for. He does not care about Americans or Canadians or anyone at all except his cronies and his group of Russian-led oligarchs, and making themselves all even richer than they already are off the backs of the working classes everywhere. He is working for the enemy, which is precisely why it looks for all the world like he's working for he enemy. Figure it out!

Sorry they just voted for a loser devil. I no you have to do what you have to. But with America voting the unfit old uneducated did I already call him a loser. I hate everybody that voted for this. Bullshit

As an American, I'm proud of my Canadian neighbor. We're on your side! ?? This will be the 5th or 6th Republican recession that I have lived through. I'm over it already.

Trudeau your country already told you to step down, Americans agree. If you cared about Canadians, you wouldn't have waited til now to do something

Epically excellent speech!\n\nHere's the best potential peace plan / karmic property deal that I can suggest: \n\nThe US as the 87th (trans Atlantic) district of the Soviet Union in exchange for the election victory and get-out-of-jail ticket etc. already delivered, perhaps?\n\nAt least stop Donald-Musk-Vance'theknob'and Yarvin polluting our global airwaves with BS. \n\nAre they a truest representation of the dumbestness of the US. Is this what Yanks want? Just saying - (as an Irish girl in Vietnam).

FACT: There is MORE Fentanyl moving from the US TO Canada than the other way around. Trump is lying to his party but sadly they just eat it up. Dark days are here and Civil war is coming to the US because Donald will try to stop protesting with violence. He is already threatening pulling funding from any college or university that allows campus protesting. WTF is that besides a NAZI maneuver?

Oh man, 2 months in the seat and he has already become enemies with Canada, Ukraine, Europe, China, Mexico, Greenland and...and allied with Russia. ? - Wait until 4 years has passed. The world will have turned upside down and inside out before this orange checks out. Let's see how happy the Americans will be after a time choosing this maniac. Huge misstake. Huge.

Trudeau, what a joke. He’s PLAYING the big man because he has already stood down. He has NOTHING to lose. He was always useless, god only knows how he remained as leader for so long. He’s really acting, very hammy.

is he suppose to be retired already?

Canada president is a clown ! What a joke didn’t they remove him already !

He addresses Americans like we don't already understand the tariffs Canada imposed on us. Do the math.

We already have the minerals deal with ukraine and Russia. CANADA LOST ALREADY

Many Americans still consider Canadian our friendly neighbor. Many of us did not vote for that demented psycho conman felon. Do what needs to be done including turning off the power at the White House. We can only wait it out until our next election for senators and congress. MANY republicans are already furious and will vote blue.

Didnt this fool already step down?

Not even 2 months in, and already the damage is immeasurable. The world is bleeding because of trump, from coast to coast. What about 1 more year of this? 2 more? 3 more? Trump needs to get impeached asap.

Canada already had high tariff's on us and Canada knows they can't win this trade war. Should have worked better helping with the border, Trudeau lies out his ass constantly. His own people have called him out for his corruption.

Yea the economy is delayed. Thanks to president Biden sending billions of dollars to ukraine.. Inflation is already out of control.

I buy a lot from Canada. It’s True Trump doesn’t know how a tariff works. I’m already getting the emails that prices are going up from my distributors.

Unfortunate! Trump\nIs not my government not my president! Please know that we are more upset and angry than everyone else! Every 70 million democratic voters are crying out and saying Trump will destroy everything, and it’s already happening! The only thing we can say is: “we told you so MAGA believers”

Lol Trudeau is a clown being kicked out by his own party ? didn't he already resign until they choose a new liberal leader ?

Thanks trump I was already struggling not I’m about to go broke

Mmm....????.\nWhy are we even listening to a guy who resigned to lead our nation ?\nNobody understands he and his party are the root of the problem ?.\nHe's a complete incompetent, and he's the one responsible for all this mess.\nNow, he's worried about the border and the fentanil crisis, when everyone in BC knows that the mountains are full in laboratories producing fentanil..\nNow, he's worried about Canadians and crisis..\nWhen he's leaving the country sunk in the biggest debt of all times...\nSeriously, this is FUBAR.\nEnough is enough Trudeau, you already did enough damage, step away for the benefit of Canadians.\nGo, just go away and forever.

Somebody. Stop this idiot already

Another guy who is telling Americans what Americans is going to feel. \nZelensky gave this same speech and now he wants to come back to the table. \nDidn’t Trudeau quit? \nTrump is waiting for the new guy. Didn’t Alberta already agreed partial terms with trump already.

All you had to do was step up your border security.\n That was it.\n We already produce everything you export to us.

lol. Canada already has caved. Stay tuned. ?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Trump is just putting the same tariffs on them that they already put on us.\nStop those drugs from coming across

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Trump is just putting the same tariffs on them that they already put on us.

Just go away already

Robert De Niro’s statement on Donald is perfect. \n\n “I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men. I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty. Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly. I see an evil one. Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.” Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong. Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped. Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them. We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego. We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership. We tried to warn the world in 2016. The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination. Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world. We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags. The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior. That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse. Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously. So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America: This is our last chance. Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator. And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided. So what do we do about it? I know I’m preaching to the choir here. What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls. We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice. Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them. Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect. Let’s not talk about “democracy.” “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. Let’s talk about right and wrong. Let’s talk about humanity. Let’s talk about kindness. Security for our world. Safety for our families. Decency. Let’s welcome them back. We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.””

Yall are sheep. \nEvery country needs imports. But America relies on so many other countries to keep itself going is more than unhealthy. If China and the US went to war, yes, China would suffer. But look around your house, I bet most of it says - Made In China. That can NOT happen to the extent it is. \n\nFun Fact- when Russia, Ukraine war started, Russia couldn’t get Coke ( Soda ) now Russia has many knock offs that they say taste just like ours. Point is, Russia started making their own. Yes, the US will always need imports. But did you know over a dozen + countries already have & had tariffs on the US for a LONG time, some are even our “ Allies “. Do you know why they do it? To protect their economy. To protect domestic goods. The short term is always the hardest. But it’s been proven that the long run, tariffs actually help a country’s economy. Also, the US gets shafted when it comes down to a lot of trade deals. Yeah, okay, imports are great… ( If you are getting a good deal )

Trudeau has already killed Canada and done nothing for Canadians

Thank fuck Donald Trump cannot communicate as effectively as Justin T. If he could, he would be way more of a monster than he already is. Thank fuck indeed.
