Go Canada!!! Trump is destroying the US

I'm so embarrassed to be an American right now. Canada, you are a class act, and there are so many of us here in the USA that are truly sorry for the shameful behavior of our UNELECTED President Musk and his side-piece Trump.

Nothing Trump does makes sense. He’s an utter embarrassment. He’s making our country look like a backwards, oppressive, “pile of garbage”. If any MAGA bothered to research is life back to the 70’s and 80’s they’d find Trump was NEVER good at business. He was good at running them into the ground. He hasn’t a republican cell in his body. He doesn’t care which party or what ideology anyone is, so long as they’re naive and ignorant enough to buy his lies and bullshit. It’s just all about Trump. Everything he’s doing is contrary to making America great. Ironic that there are many so-called Christians who support him, when he fits the biblical description of the Antichrist a bit too well. It’ll take decades to restore America’s standing in the world, because that narcissistic, bloated, power-hungry, piece of shit wants to keep attention centered on him. He’s doing all he can to keep us stupid, and brainwashed, because anyone who’s intelligent, and has any level of critical thinking poses a threat. When will the orange Kool aid wear off?…and btw, I’m not a liberal. I’m not a democrat. I’m rational.

Trump is a bullshiter, fentanyl is just a pretext, his whole administration is a catastrophy for US and the free world.

You never talk about 200,000 deficit Trudeau, if you want American people understand about you, US has been feeding Canadian forever Trudeau, and you also called trump dumb and In this case to be fair I don't think you are smarter then trump at all

Us people who voted for trump will see what they have done

As An American citizen I stand for righteous leadership and I stand with Canada, European allies and Mexico. Do what you have to do to protect your country your economy and your citizens. TRUMPSKI and his lap dog JD Vancekoff are ruining the United States of America!! They're not leaders, they're Russian assets, strongmen wannabe's and a scourge in the historical record of our nation. And all of the misled, under educated and misinformed folks who follow this man and his cult of personality have been lead astray by the propagandist on FOX News and right wing social channels and will pay for this just like the rest of us. Trump and his cronies are ONLY about enriching THEMSELVES and their friends and families. Not the working man and woman. Just the autocrats and oligarchs.

Trump warned us that we gonna be eating the dogs, eating the cats. I should probably start raising chickens in my living room

I love Canada and Mexico hey are my neighbors North/South USA and China and I stand with Ukraine but this stupid Trump is screwing us up big time! we are getting weaker and WEAKER every day

If any good has come from the election of Donald Trump, is the fact that everybody is waking up, realizing we should get stronger and more united, becuase the US is not a trustworthy ally

Well, Trudeau is wrong about a couple of things: first, Fentanyl for medical use is a good medication (e.g. in emergency rooms). and second, Donald Trump is NOT A SMART guy. He is an idiot. Otherwise Trudeau is spot on. Can the US have him and get rid of Tronald Dump?

With these tariffs and lack of diplomacy with Ukraine we will probably see US Companies start moving to Canada, as well as foreign partners of US switching to Canada. Trump is too chaotic and disruptive, which is awful for any company wanting to grow in the US.

Trump is a LIAR!!! He loves to lie to his base because they will believe anything he says, will not fact check and wouldn't believe it anyway!! This is trumps plan to divide the US and divide the free world!!! Putins puppet!!!!

Please know PM Trudeau, there are a great many of us in the US who don't want this either and want to remain friends with our neighbors to the north. Shame on Trump and his broligarchy!

Trump will have all countries against us if he keeps up with all this bull. I think Trump thinks that America doesn’t need these countries.

Let’s not forget that in Mar-a-Lago when this Prime Minister and Trump were sitting Trump asked him “”what is the worst thing the US can do to Canada and he replied put tariffs”

Maybe we shouldnt spend BILLIONS of dollars for protection and dont get anything back. Is that fair? Trump and MAGA are fed up spending SOO Much money that has little or no benefit to us yes it will hurt for now, but we already spent 4 years in hell whats anouther1-2 years.

Trump is full of shit!!! This has nothing to do with drugs etc- he wants Canada’s resources, the artic and our land!!! Drugs, guns and criminals have been coming into Canada from the US for years. He must think people are absolutely stupid. FUCK OFF trump - Done with being polite- hashtag - fuck off trump

I’m utterly disgusted with Trump. I wish the world would impose tariffs on the US to stop his nonesense

Canada uses technology and forward thinking to protect their border. The US is decades behind border control and instead hang on building a border wall. A wall. A wall that has proven time and again to be ineffective and costly to build and maintain. Trump is a dinosaur and an autocrat that has brought America to its knees. Americans will not stand for it. This is temporary.

He is correct..our government is doing this to us . For Trump's circus act like he's a genius

I am an American and I did not vote for Trump! This is ridiculous! I apologize to Canada on behalf of us Americans who did not ask for this. We support you Canada.

This is crazy! I’m so upset with Trump and his people for doing this to us in America and I completely understand that Canada has to do what it has to do since Trump is being a big bully.

US RELATION WITH EUROPE- BAD\nUS RELATION WITH UKRAINE- BAD\nUS RELATION WITH GREENLAND- BAD\nUS RELATION WITH CANADA- BAD\nBUT US RELATION WITH RUSSIA- EXCELLENT!!????\nTRUMP SUPPORTERS MUST REALISE THAT TRUMP IS A CRAZY MAN!

Trudeau sold out the Canadien people long ago with his personal greed, woke crap and using the environment as an excuse to tax the hell out of us. Now he has someone to blame (Trump). We need Pierre, a strong leader that will work with President Trump for a Strong North America. Canada + USA = Prosperity for all

So many of us in the US have no idea how this makes sense, how anything Trump does makes sense.

Trump is Russia asset. This is what putin want his orange puppet to do. To destroy the us and its allies. Looks like this traitor doing a damn good job as we speak

Well to tell you about Trump Jesus insane as it can be the US trust him and American people want him out of office

Someone needs to make sense of this. If trump tarrifs will hurt the US , why are you reacting with tarrifs? By your logic your tarrifs will hurt canada.

If Trump and his crew want America to become a 'hermit' kingdom, go for it. Decouple from the global economy and suffer. There's hundreds of millions of us ready to get angry.

Trump doesn't want us to be the USA, he wants this to be the new USSR. There's no strategy here, just pure evil! ?

as a Canadian, all I can say is Trump has galvanized our nation not to take up arms, but not to ever capitulate to a bully. But I especially appreciate seeing all the people from around the world are standing with us, and that also includes americans that are equally upset by their president’s behavior.

Wait a second, just a few weeks ago CNN was saying that Canada had outfoxed the US/Trump and they were not doing anything more than what they had decided to do well before Trump's election when it comes to stopping illegal immigration and the transport of fentanyl into the US? Now they are trying to convince us that Canada is very understanding and accommodating of US needs and is doing a lot!!!! Fake News Network! True Americans should stand with United States of America and not Canada. LOL

I’ll say first that I’m a Canadian…\n\nTrudeau and his government has been in power almost 10years and in that time Canada has gotten progressively worse—the drug crisis; immigration; inflation etc etc. I find it shameful that it took a foreign leader (Trump) to ignite changes within my country. Are the tariffs fair to Canada? No, absolutely not but Trump is not the president of Canada—right, wrong or indifferent he’s looking out for the US. \n\nJustin Trudeau is a corrupt lame duck prime minister who technically resigned a month ago. \n\nTrump will listen to Canada and respect Canada when a new government is place

As Americans, I feel sad and embarrassed, as some of us get blindsided by the idiot/stupid/crook/traitor Dumb Trump as president, we are sorry to all our allies. some of us still has moral and integrity. sorry

US is now part of the axis of evil with Russia. \nPutin, Musk and Trump are evil, traitors to the US, traitors to all democracies.

Russians are in the OVAL OFFICE!!! Donald Trump is a traitor and a KBG Plant!! He was recruited by his first wife a KBG agent who was brought to the US in 1978. as part of a plot to break in to the NYC real estate market!!! The idea was to find a way to launder the increasing profits from Moscows drug and gambling operations!!! He has worked with the Russians for many years and is a personal friend of Putins!!! Russia has control of the US GOVERNMENT AND THEY ARE BUSY DESTROYING THE US ECONOMY AND DEMOCRACY!!! You might as well put Putin in charge!!! Hopefully they will arrest and IMPEACH Trump and his government, before it's too late to do anything!!!

He says United States, but it doesn’t mean all of us - Just Trump

Trump chose to do this its not Canadas choice and I simple do not see how its justified. This is a tax on Americans make no mistake its OUR prices that will go up as well as Canadians. This sure smells of Russian influence to me, its almost as if Trump is trying to hurt America, he is for sure tearing up the Government. If Putin had a wish list separating us from our staunch allies would be #1

But what was trump taking about when he said we give them billions of dollars of free money every year I believe that’s why we got here us Americans are wiping everyone’s ass and when the toliet paper runs out we have to buy more we want you guys to start buying us toliet paper wipe our ass

Trump doesn't represent.... all of is citizens. \n\nallot of us are appauled and sad too

Can the US people please put Trump, Vance and Musk back into the playground, kids shouldent be left to throw tantrum without adult supervision !

Stand up Canada! It's about time! We been selling our future and sovereignty to the US since WW2 thinking they are our friend forever. WRONG! Respect only comes from threat and that is why Trump is respecting Russia and China more than us. Stop buying their shit and let's find some new business partner, be it europe or china, let's be competitive again and let them see how it feels like with a non secure backyard

Comrade Trump has thrown US trust and democracy down the toilet

As a Canadian living in the us, I’m extremely bothered that my govt would stab my home country’s back. We are bonded nations and I am disturbed that trump would do such a thing.

Listen to the details people.... We get energy, building materials and fertilizer from Canada.. he forgot to mention cars. Nothing we can't do ourselves. We are fully energy independent... We do not need to import. Prices will drop. Cars... Trump is bringing back manufacturing... Prices will drop. Fertilizer... I mean shit and rotten food is not hard to get. Building material... We send them more than they send us. \n\nYou cannot just run on emotion. Thats what he is stirring in you. Look at the way he twist things. Is he directly lying... No... But he is cherry picking details. Canada gets a lot more from us than we do them and what we get from them is rapidly decreasing and he is in panic mode.

Some think Trump purposely tanked the deal because Putin wants the minerals. Either way Trump is an ass and those of us not in the cult know he doesn’t care about anything

I dont follow canadian politics. (Us politics either)... I hate trump. His administration maga. Hes a racist and a bigot and ignorant and dumb as a stick. \n\nNot sure why Justin Trudeau is so disliked. \n\nHe serms reasonable to me. Id stand behind Trudeau before i stood with trump. \n\nFDJT

Trade wars always comes before an actual war (happened before WW1 and America waged a trade war with Japan prior to WW2). I predict America will be invading Mexico first in a blitzkrieg and then when the US economy is in a war economy it'll try to invade Canada. Heck Trump has already stated as much when he said Canada will be the 51st state of America.

This Canadian president is a leader.!!! Canada wont stand alone with out getting world wide support USA have been a superpower for decades and a true democratic country that the world admired. Today this have come to a end. 2025 will go down in history for the year when Americas greatness and No1 econemy ended. The respect and the trust for USA under Trump is long gone!!! For Trump to put tarifs on canada just to make them suffer so trump can get Canada as its 51 state is mindblowing. Trump aint putting those tarifs on Canada because of fentanyl when it comes from china. Tarifs on China is another story but that will hit the US market to and companys. I cant belive the americans are just swallowing this whole without doing anything or can a president do whatever damage he wants without consequenses?
