Donald Trump is America's Putin

I can't understand why Canadians are not happy with him. I wish we had someone like Justin Trudeau to stand up to Trump over here.

Yea Oh Canada! Perception of Trump, not its citizens, is spot on.

IMPEACH TRUMP NOW!!! ILL LEAD THE WAY

Canadian here. There's a lot of people in Canada that don't like Trudeau for a lot of reasons, but with the recent events I think the majority of the country has come to tolorate him a little while longer until we get a new Prime Minister. Trumps actions have only united the Canadian people.

HES NAME ITS PRESIDENT TRUMP!! Dont forget bout that CHITNN!!!!

Im an American. Im ok with Trump putting tariffs on Canada. Trudeau has not been a good leader. So he'll use this to get the Canadians on his side. Don't forget Trudeau ceased the truckers money.

Trump is single handedly rescuing the Liberal’s election prospects.

What's wrong with Trump

Howard Stern was good friends with trump too

I am not a fan of Trudeau but the difference of quality and diplomacy compared to orange clown Trump is just immense

Canada should immediately order total blockade the border and reject all goods coming to Canada from USA and ask all Canadian not going to USA from now until further notice to force Trump Tariff to crack down! At the same time call each province to mobilize to prepare for actual war to star conscription because Trump may invade Canada like Hitler had done in Europe before! He is actually mad in mind now!

For Trump this was never about the border or fentanyl. It is about destroying democracy using the system of democracy. It is about undermining the laws of the US Constitution in pursuit of installing a fascist regime in its place.

We the US people apologize for Trump's actions and dumb statements ❤❤

Americans will say give Trump a chance but for what cause? The Death of America?

The only reasonable explanation is tRump is a Russian asset. Someone needs to stop him.

Trump wants a literal war with Canada. He wants his name in history book. That's all it's to him, just like for Putin. Sick evil people.\n\nWhen he's going to blame Canada for the destruction of USA stock market due to his stupid tariff war, he'll pretend that's a good excuse to take the country by force. This is just plain evil. America went in one generation from hopeful and peace loving nation to Putin's best friend. Sickening.\n\nWhat does Trump think his actions are going to do? Most of the world now hates him. Most of the world now hates Elon, and Tesla. He's a destroyer, not a builder.\n\nRepublican party and everyone working in right wing media, you happy now? You happy that Putin is able to take over entire country because of your bigotness and hatred for minorities? You're going to get your FAFO too one day, that's the revolution that will not be fought with words of appeasement or be as miserable failure as Jan 6.

So embarrassed to be an American! I didn’t vote for Trump! I knew his Presidency AGAIN ….. would be a shit show! So sorry for Canada! Retired! Can’t afford food now! Six months from now everything will be unaffordable! Thank the maga idiots for voting him in! Personally I think he and Elon have rigged it!

Next steps, Leave Nato, and then invade Canada. What could possibly go wrong? Message to Trump: Canadians actually have lots of guns. Trudeau didn't get them all!

Can I move there, I am a 73yr old female that have never seen such craziness and I am ashamed, of how the hatred and inhumane EVIL treatments of Trump and all his Supporters. I see DUMB, DUMBER, AND DUMBEST!!!!

Americans love it when someone loses bigger than them. It creates the illusion of success. When billionaires win, they will gaslight the poor that everyone is winning. Trump DOESN'T CARE ABOUT AVERAGE AMERICANS.

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!

You need USA. We don't need you. We have been taken advantage of long enough. Why did it take for Trump to tell you to make provisions against Fentanyl to actually implement it?

Stop insulting our President! We are no longer woke communist like Trudeau and the EU, and we are focusing on us, as the world does not appreciate all we do and we are far from perfect here. President Trump is one of the great Presidents that made America and Canada so successful in the past, and all these socialist a$$bags can do is cry and get in the way of progress! We are the superpower of the world for a reason and you’re on the wrong path my Canadian friends! Watch you ? mouth long story short!

It should be obvious to all by now that Trump is either insane, a Russian agent or both IMHO. Time for 25th Amendment & a ride to the funny farm for Trump.

What so America has to pay for everything. Think money grows on trees. Trump and his staff is the best thing to ever happen. So STFU

We’re only vacationing in Canada until trump is OUT! Go Canada!!!! ??

Donald Trump is a Russian asset.

Trudeau will stand up for Canadians. Too bad trump wont stand up for Americans

No to Trump and No to Russia! Canada is right!

Thank you my Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for standing up to bully Donald Trump

Trump and Vladimir Putin are working together to destroy America. All because of GREED.

Everyone thinks that this is Canada standing up, but what this means is that the Canadians with our economy that is 1/10 that of the US will be taxed at 25% on our imports, this is going to hurt canadians way more than the retaliatory terrifs will hurt the americans. This may also lead to an escalated response from the US exacerbating the effect. Trudeau and others can't seem to grasp that there may be a long term strategy from Trump and this is playing into it. \n\nThe truth of all of it is that Trump does not like Justin Trudeau or the Liberal government.

As a Canadian, fastest way to get Trump to change his mind is cut off the electrical supply we provide out of Ontario. Don't threaten to do it. Just pull the plug right now.

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% !!!

An eloquent statement,trump should learn from Trudeau!

So are you going to be a tough guy against Donald Trump the United States been protecting your country for its conception maybe you need to go visit him in the Oval Office and get school on what a pansy you are go ahead and talk to Donald might just close your border to America you don't you don't have the cards you don't have the balls be tough guy he'll slap a 50% tear upon you and then maybe he'll say take a hike a jerk Trudeau come on wake up

We will never bow down to dictator Trump period! True North Strong ?? !

I wish they would not say “America did..” but instead just say Trump. He DOES NOT speak for us.

This idiot is already writing an apology speech to trump. Tell his stupid ass to shut up

Trudeau is mad because Trump is not letting his kind play in women sports anymore..??????????

As a US citizen who has considered Trump to be a boorish moron since I was a child in the 1980s, I thank Canada and PM Trudeau for standing strong against our idiot-in-chief and I hope we can repair this unnecessary rift as soon as possible.

We’re watching the downfall of the USA. Trump is a clown.

As an American, I stand with Canada. I am worried, but someone needs to stand up to Trump. I am sorry that it is not the US. So many people still support him and I just don’t understand it.

FROM ARGENTINA I support Trump on this!!! The USA should balance goods trade and blow up deficit! Milei in Argentina has eliminated deficit for the first time after 123 years in Argentina's history, making economy and investment start growing. Mexico and Canada are taking advantage, Go Trump!!!

America, don't think that Canada, Mexico, Europe and more and more countries only hold dictator Trump and his dictator wanna-bee Vance responsible for this! More than half of the American people voted for him and therefore also for their backward stupid policies!

Let’s go Trudeau ?? this Pariah Govt must Go. Well said without casting Blame and Whining using propaganda and having weasels like musk and all his appointees to do these sick acts this is the darkest chapter in American history. I’m happy to see Canada and Mexico are the lights at the end of the tunnel. Trump and Co. Are weak individuals, there way is not the American way they can go to Russia with that nonsense.

Do you really think Trump is worried about Puss ass Canada! Lol?

Trump and Vance need to be dragged out of office. Impeachment does not work.

One thing Trump did not do is bring jobs to the American people, now that is bulshit, but i still support Canada
