trump is a disaster

Trump destroyed our economy in the first term it was a disaster

Trump is a disaster for the US.

Every country is an adversary to trump - except Russia and North Korea ….\nHe is tearing the Uas and the world apart.\nAn absolute disaster of a leader

Trump is a disaster. This guy clearly doesn't know what he's doing. He's not a real politician and had no business ever touching the oval office. This guy has gone bankrupt multiple times. He's running our country into the ground.

This is such an idiotic self-imposed disaster. Trump is either crazy, stupid, or both. What is his goal here?

If trump tries to link the US economy with Russia and north Korea its going to be disaster

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.

When you're turning your country into a socialist Shithole... deflect from your own disaster by attacking the country you've been relying upon to protect you for a century.\n\nPound sand, Little Castro.

You get the government you deserve. I blame the American voters that put this lunatic in power, and his supplicant MAGA GOP. Hurting our best and biggest allies, and realigning with an evil dictator, Putin is the recipe for disaster for America. Russia is not the world power it once was, but that is the aim of Putin to revive the old Soviet Union. The EU will stand up for Ukraine, with the rest of the world. Then, the U.S. will be left with broken alliances, and only the axis of evil as friends.

Greath speech from the Ca ada's Prime Minister. A real serious and prepared one,not that gang of idiots now making disasters at WH. Hope my Europe will help Canada, buying their products to fight for liberty against this fat mafia boss. Hope that US citizen will soon learn the lesson throwing this psycopatic president from his throne.

CNN celebrating an outgoing Prime Minister of a foreign county to give a “blistering speech” against the new American president, while when he does that, they fall apart in disbelieve and outrage!\n\nWhat else is “NEWs”?\n\nRename CNN Candian Network News, maybe. \n\nI used to watch CNN daily, now it’s just a turn-off. Literally. \n\nTrudeau has been a disaster for Canada and Canadians… and he’s being chased “out of town”, but if he attacs the US or even better Pres. Trump, he’s oh so cool and fashionable. \nBut is he?\nHe helped Trump get elected, just like the woke left and CNN. \n\nPad yourself on your shoulders, it wasn’t easy but you did it, well with the help of the rest of the left media. \n\nThanks!

I thought this Woke idiot was stepping down. Trudeau is a disaster, everyone hates him in Csnada like they hate Zelensky in Ukraine. Putin is at 95% approval.

Trump is a total disaster for all Americans except the $Billionaires. But it wasn't the $Billionaires who voted Trump into office, it was the millions of MAGA Morons, the very people who are now losing their jobs in thousands as Musk takes an axe to everything. Tariffs on America's main trading partners means that the American consumers, many of them MAGA Morons, are going to be hit a lot harder in the pocket as prices on their goods rocket. I only feel sorry for the Americans, who saw this coming and voted against Trump. For all the MAGA Morons, don't cry help, you brought this on yourself !!! Here in the UK we support Canada 100% !!!

Trump is a disaster capitalist. Him and his cronies will be shorting various stocks and indexes which will be falling from which they can make millions of dollars on each trade.

Trump has made ruZZia's cruel dick-tator his closest friend, not ours, not our America's, which has not lost its love and appreciation for its neighbors, and especially Canada, its cousin! For some reason, we are now governed by a complete psycho moron and his cabal, whose sole interest is $money$, as they value nothing else in life. This is a republican coup. We're sorry and apologize to the world, and especially Ukraine, for this disaster. We hope to be a free nation again one day! Peace, Hope & Love from a dying nation.

Trump is an arrogant US president ever have, will bring US and the world in to disaster. Put him down before it to late

Trump is a disaster. May everyone survive this with as little pain as possible. ?

As a Canadian I find this so pathetic. Why is this guy even talking? He’s been a complete disaster for a decade now. Trump didn’t shut our government down when it was time to negotiate, this person did. This is so embarrassing

The United States has become an unreliable world leader and trading partner, which will not put America first. The USMCA trade agreement between Canada, Mexico, and America, initially brokered and lauded by Trump as “terrific,” is now being scraped. The stated reason, a national security threat due to fentanyl originating from the Canadian border (approximately 43 pounds in 2024), is bogus. This pretend “security threat,” allows Trump to circumvent congressional oversight and undermine constitutional norms. Canada's historical contributions to the United States are extensive, including WWI, fighting Hitler in WWII for two years before they joined the fight, declaring war against Japan WWII after Pearl Harbour before America did, was 25% of D-Day’s landings, support during the Iranian hostage crisis, after 9/11, in Afghanistan, and during natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina and California wildfires. However, Canada is now being treated transactionally, with a lack of respect to a historical friend and ally.

I am in the Midwest and it would be a disaster to do this... cut the energy. You can do it in steps, by selling it elsewhere, 5% this month, 10% the following... on and on. People are too comfortable and no one in the US will rise from their chairs until they are being harmed. Tapper it off quickly. The US cannot replace the energy requirements and it would cripple a dozen states over the course of 3 months.

You are absolutely Correct. Our government is a disgrace and disaster

I will never go to the US ever again!\nYour cookie cutter culture has no substance.\nYour “gated communities “ are prisons devised to protect the rich.\nYou live in constant fear and your prime focus is perceived threats to your freedom.\nWe here in Canada….not the 51st State, Don have bars on our windows.\nWe drink pure water , breath fresh clean air and we can sleep at night without hearing gunshots all night or the fear of bombs being dropped on us. \nWe are resilient people who can help ourselves in the wake of disasters and challenges.\nWe don’t need people to do our thinking for us.\nWe will overcome the folly of your ways.\nWe died for Americans and freedom in many Wars and we know what it is to make sacrifices!

Emperor traitor Trump with his idiot plans supported by his enslaved republican lackeys will only bring disaster.

Canada is a failing disaster as long as Trudeau and his politics guide Canada. You fools that rally around and support this corrupt governance will get what you think you want. By the time you realize what you agreed to, we won't be able to help you. Biden almost did this country in ( not that he was running the country, who knows who was but he was in the seat), if camela won we would have been screwed. Germany and all of the UK will put people in prison for an unfavorable statement, public prayer is a criminal act in the UK. If this is not Naziism what is? Your countries are collapsing around your feet just as ours was. Pull the chute, people. There is a reason no one wants to live in N Korea.

Go on Canada. when have you EVER seen a Canadian Be angry..... TODAY! Another Trump disaster against the USA.

This press conference should've stated only the obvious, americans voted a mildly entertaining con-man disaster imbecile. Canada is better off joining the EU anyway

Thank you Mr Trudeau, from a US citizen, for speaking THE TRUTH and acting like a real leader of a country who is one of our friends and allies. Trump is an idiot who is taking our country into a spiraling disaster.

We are best friends over century USA and Canada, no matter any hardship including 911 disaster, Canadian open airport for American, and supply sheltering and more, respect secondary largest peaceful land and generous country Canada.

I stand with Canada from Scotland , what a disaster DT has become , shame on him having Scottish hertage.

Trump and his real President 'Mucks' (sic) we absolutely hate u and your electorate for the decimation and fascism you are inflicting on the world ... from UK a distant cousin and now a disaster 'crash and burn' waiting to happen.. ur delirious (Gaza Riviera, Canada 51st state, Greenland, Gulf of Mexico, Panama Canal) ..fork off to the right

Europe is close to Canada! Trump administration is a complete disaster. Wake up, USA!

Thank you PM Trudeau for your leadership!!! I wish we in America, had that! I am so sorry you and the rest of the world have to deal with this disaster Donald has created!! We as Americans are suffering, but we appreciate so much you all having solid boundaries to hopefully keep our cancer from spreading in the world!!

WE DON'T WANT THIS EITHER, PLEASE SAVE US FROM THIS DISASTER.

American here and wish our president was as sensible as Trudeau, problem is Trump is too stupid and Elon is too rich and controlling the U.S. which makes running this country a total disaster!!!\n\nImpeachment is not a suggestion it’s needed and needed NOW!!!! Republicans in elected positions step up and quit letting this country get dragged down.

You own this disaster Trumpster aholes.

lol Trudeau is so corrupt stop apologizing for Trump he is great the border is a disaster and the corrupt guy is another Trudeau thug

“I am Canadian, and I support Trump because our leaders are a joke. They delay pipelines, restrict the open market, and refuse to trust foreign investment from China or overseas. Instead of strengthening the economy, they bring in a million immigrants while ignoring real growth. If we’re going to rely on America anyway, we should join it becoming the 51st state would make North America stronger.\nIf Canada retaliates against the U.S., it won’t be the government that suffers it’ll be us. Our leaders look weak and desperate. \nWith 25% tariffs, Canada is heading for economic disaster. Companies are moving to America, jobs are disappearing, and our future is at risk. Look at Europe 23 countries share the euro and open borders. We should do the same by becoming 51st state.\nIt’s time to negotiate with Trump and secure real benefits more businesses, better telecom, cheaper flights, lower food costs, affordable housing, a shared currency, and the right to bear arms. Canada would be stronger and wealthier as part of America.”?? ??????\nWe are still Canadians

During his first term I had some empathy with Trump. Second time around I fear for the world with Trump and his fight dogs (JD).\nTrump is showing himself to be unstable - American Christians need to back away from him. Franklin Graham needs to speak against this man.\nLord save us from this chaos and disaster.

He is a disaster!!!

All power in one stubborn hand and not listening to well wishers and joining hands with enemies a recipe for disaster of common man in both USA and Canada . Anyway our enemies are happy and laughing at our stupidity.

Thank Mr. Trump for this disaster and its insulting attitude toward our friend and ally Canada….this is who we voted into office…..a sad day in US history! Trump acts on impulse ….on almost everything….no thought process…..no discussion with his “Yes” cabinet of puppets who rubber stamps everything Trump wants. The Prime Minister is spot on…..but Mr. Trump is unable and unwilling to act like an adult.

Donald Trump is a proven, documented Liar, Thief, Fraud, Felon, Rapist and Traitor! \nEvery day he is in office is an assault on the Constitution and Rule of Law! \nHe is owned by Vladimir Putin and Elon Musk! \nHe is a disaster for America!

Donald Trump is a disaster…..

Canada has helped the U.S. many times. What about the Haiti crisis in the U.S? Don’t you all remember, Biden asked Trudeau to step in and we did. Now there is no crisis. Do you ever hear the U.S thank Canada? How about the many many times we went in to help with natural disasters? You never hear that. \n\nThe RUMP says that the U.S subsidizes Canada and gave a huge amount of money. That is an outright lie.

Americans…Wake Up from MAGA Propaganda Machine. The Nightmare that is trumps crooked 4 th Reich Will crater Your Democracy and Economic System. The Cultist Cabinet led by the Orange Menace, is the Worst Example of Incompetence and Ineptitude ever put in place by the American People. You have been conned by Chief Criminal, and his 40 Thieves.\nToday, is the Crossroad of America’s future. \nPolitical and Economic Disaster, World shunning as a Pariah State, OR…INDICTMENT, IMPEACHMENT and CONVICTION…by BOTH Houses. That’s You GOP.\nCanada, ?? WILL RETALIATE.

We're getting so close to Jehovah's kingdom!!! As bad as it is and will get a lot worse because we are still under the god of this wicked system is Satan the devil. Jehovah has allowed men 6 thousand years fo try and rule over themselves. Everyone can see what a disaster it's been. God's kingdom with Jesus Christ as our king will rule with love and provide real peace and security !!!!

I live in Los Angels and I did not vote for this. Canada has always helped us when we had natural disaster.

I live in the middle of the country, 416,000 mortgage, stay at home wife with 2 young kids.\n\nWe are further and further into massive date.\n\nThis on a salary of 145,000\n\nYes it's personal info, but we all need to be more honest about this and show each other the complete disaster that we are all heading towards.\n\nChild preschool alone for me, being a 'successful' income earner, is 890 per month.\n\nI pay over 40% into tax system and get nothing in return.\n\nBillions\nare spent on failing 'free healthcare' (which isn't free, it's the highest thing we are taxed on and it sucke), \n\nMillions are spent on welfare state, homeless, drug addicts and criminals.\n\nMassive regulations and taxes are the key drivers of our slowing economy and negative foreign investment.\n\nSocial fragmentation is exasperated by massive immigration and an even more massive housing crises.\n\nPoliticians, lawyers and real estate agencies are to blame.\n\nWe've done this to ourselves. Saying yes to easy money in return to long term pain.\n\nTurning away from oil and other natural resources (commodity based dollar)into becoming a real estate based economy is the final nail in the coffin.\n\nNew immigrants are 32-34% migrant workers and 66-68% dependants. Dependants being peippe NOT paying into tax system. Thus, being a competent and utter burden on our already thinly stretched social services.

What a contrast between a real leader (Trudeau) and a crass demagogue (The First Felon). It took this moron 5 weeks to destroy 160 years of good relations. Its a disaster for both countries. Trump is a spoiled bully who has never had to suffer the consequences of his actions. We will suffer for him.
