America here, I support what you're doing Canada...our Orange idiot had started this.

Can someone intelligent please explain with evidence why we’re at a war with Canada? How does this make America great again?

Canadian people do understand they're also American people, and so IS Mexico, all American people.\nAMERICAN IS A CONTINENT!! \nNorth America. There's also central America and South America. Geography \nHow can i take anyone serious.

Wow, I love the way Trudeau is honest with his people. America can't say the same. One thing Canada has is a leader who is for them. America is about to see how big a difference that actually makes in such times. We're divided while they're together.

As a life-long Ameri an citizen, I 100% stand with Canada. \nThe idiots that voted for Trump,your orange messiah, I really hope you go broke and homeless because you're just as guilty as he is. So be proud because you voted him into office knowing how his first term was and that he is a 34 time CONVICTED felon. And YOU voted this back into office. You worship Trump like he is your messiah ,your god,your idol so when WW3 is declared against America and his little friend Putin will all be a trap to have Trump assassinated, I hope you stand around and claim this on your shoulders then because again, YOU have done this.

Can Trump be removed NOW from power and have a referendum and re-do of the election? There should be some sort of return policy just as in business. Maga Americas have realized now I hope that what they voted for is the destruction of our country and it's citizens. Let's draw straws and have a popular vote on candidates of all parties and solve this calamity.

America ?? we're in trouble.

Cnn is so hard to watch, she said aniamericanism ???? . They're braking up with america ????

Did he do the full list??? ?? just said they're building in Arizona. Tariff us nothing friend Donald ? ? Canadian spokesperson JT called him what?? This will be a rough ride 4sure JT. Could have just did the full list that was asked 2b done. ??‍♂️ NEW FLASH WORLD NORTH AMERICA WILL BE LOCK DOWN SOON. WHAT SIDE OF THE DOOR WILL U BE ON.???‍??

Trump, You’re embarrassing America

Yea... they love us when we pay for everyrhing and cry when they have to pay. Trump is highly intelligent with a brilliant stsff and they're Making America Great Again.

The Mexican President CLAUDIA SHEINBAUM writes to Trump and Musk on behalf of THE REST OF THE WORLD:\n\nSo, you voted to build a wall… Well then, my dear Americans, even if you don’t know much about geography—after all, for you, “America” is your country and not an entire continent—it’s important that before you lay the first stone, you know what you’re locking out with this wall.\n\nOutside, there are 7 billion people; but since the concept of “people” doesn’t seem to interest you much, let’s call them consumers instead.\n\nThere are 7 billion consumers ready to replace the iPhone with a Samsung or Huawei within 42 hours. They can also swap Levi’s for Zara or Massimo Dutti.\n\nQuite comfortably, within six months, we can stop buying Ford or Chevrolet vehicles and switch to Toyota, KIA, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Subaru, Renault, or BMW, which are technically far superior.\n\nThese 7 billion people could also cancel their Direct TV subscriptions and—even if we wouldn’t like it—stop watching Hollywood movies, opting instead for Latin American or European productions, which are superior in quality, content, and cinematography.\n\nAs incredible as it may sound, we can stop traveling to Disney and instead visit Xcaret in Cancún, Mexico, Canada, or Europe—there are many incredible destinations in South America, Asia, and Europe.\n\nAnd believe it or not: There are even better burgers in Mexico than McDonald’s—with higher nutritional value.\n\nHas anyone ever seen a pyramid in the United States? In Egypt, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, Sudan, and many other countries, there are pyramids with fascinating cultures. Take a look at where the wonders of the ancient and modern world are located… None of them are in the U.S. Too bad for Trump—otherwise, he would have bought and resold them!\n\nWe know that Adidas exists, not just Nike, and we can start consuming Mexican sneakers like Panam.\n\nWe know far more than you think; for example, we know that if these 7 billion consumers stop buying your products, unemployment will rise, and your economy will collapse so severely within your racist wall that you’ll beg us to tear it down. We didn’t want anything, but… You wanted a wall? Then you’ll get a wall.\n\nSincerely, \nTHE REST OF THE WORLD. \n\nPlease forward this message to 12 people. If you don’t, nothing will happen—except that many people won’t learn about these realities. \n\nCLAUDIA SHEINBAUM \nPRESIDENT OF MEXICO

Yeah we’re cooked chat. America would rather the destruction of this country from an unqualified child of German immigrants who dodged the military draft than a Black woman who told you what plans she had for it. THIS IS ON EVERY AMERICAN WHO WANTED TRUMP MORE CAUSE OF YOUR BS REASONS TO BELIEVE HE WOULD DO WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD DO.

Well, I am from America and I never heard of such a bunch of whiny babies in my life. If you got an app to get her Mr. Trudeau and got the border tightened up instead of lying about us you wouldn’t have 25% tariff against you in the business we do a Canada as much it is in the billions it’s chunk change to us so young with the program and get it together and take a nap order in for you Europeans. I wouldn’t criticize in America to quickly because we’re in America well that’s not how that conversation.

Now they’re not gonna care about fentanyl coming into America and are just gonna leave it up to Mr. Trump to deal with it. They spent billions of dollars and our president isn’t even acknowledging that fact, but instead sensationalizing things for his own benefit. Thanks for increasing the flow of fentanyl President Trump!

Deterioration of relations? That's an understatement,\nAn increasingly large percentage of Canadians now see the United States as our enemy - 27% a couple of weeks ago. As of today, I expect that's up to at least 50%.\nPrior to November, that number would have been negligible. Pollsters never thought it relevant enough to ask before a few weeks ago.\nYou're running out of allies, America. Soon it will just be you and Russia.\nWhich, I'm sure, will delight Putin and his agent, your Felon in Chief.

Trump Charge them 26%We're behind you Stand Stand strong stand your ground It's only fair How long Canada cheated America Look how long they let Muslims cross through the border

America gives ukraine money, and now they're switching on them..?

First of all, let's be clear, it is TRUMP doing this, NOT America. NOT American citizens! It is unfortunate that FOOLS re-elected him!! Now, we are ALL feeling the stupidity of HIS actions!! America plz, WAKE UP!!!

Trudeau, you just need to shut your mouth and do what you’re told, you’ve been taking advantage of America for too long and you’re just mad because we’re not letting you do it anymore.

President Trudeau, Black America believes every word you're saying. We have always fought for this country even though this country has never fought for us. It is White America that is tearing down this democracy to maintain white supremacy. White America has done this. The numbers don't lie. Unfortunately, all Americans will suffer.

As an America who supports US Global Relationships, we're so sorry and we support Canada's decision 100%

@robertedward7023 \n\nServing the country doesn’t mean that you’re right. President Trump was not bullying Zelensky but Zelensky was disrespectful to our President. “You have nice oceans so you don’t feel it now but in the future you will feel it “ is what Zelenskyy stated. How can you speak against your President who has done nothing but look out for Americans to defend someone who would be so disrespectful to our country. Zelensky also stated that Americans will bleed for his country. Why would anyone defend this blatant hatred. President Trump has tried to give Zelensky what he needs not what he wants. All of these countries gather together to rally against POTUS because he won’t allow them to financially enslave Americans and use America as a personal piggy bank. Every single American who loves this country should have President Trumps back.

I’m not a politician. America already fights with other countries across world. Now we’re fighting with our neighbors. The elites politicians celebrities athletes the rich can survive. Tough for the average guy.

Canada and Mexico are not responsible for the people in the US who chose to use drugs. In fact, it's the United States job to keep illegal drugs and immigrants out of the US and they are doing a poor job of it and need someone else to blame. Mexico could retaliate in a way that could flood the US with illegal drugs and immigrants and refuse to repatriate its citizens back into Mexico. The rest of Central and South America could do the same in support of Mexico. They need to get Trump out of office before he ruins America.\nI remember the press conference with the USA (Trump), Canada and Mexico when signing the new trade agreement during Trump last time in office. Trump proudly stated that this is the greatest agreement in the history of the United States. Last week he wanted to know who in the US agreed to the terrible trade agreement. He is losing his mind and cognitive function is deteriorating at a rapid rate. Re-negotiating contracts after the work is complete is how Trump ran his businesses. He has bankrupted many small businesses by not paying them knowing that they do not have the money to go to court. He is only rich because of daddy's money otherwise he would have never survived his many bankruptcies. Thats why no one will loan him money. I can't wait until he screws over the government of Saudi Arabia with one of his shady business deals. Anyone remember what happened to Khashoggi for just authoring a bad article on Saudi's Leaders. What do you think will happen to Trump for monetarily screwing them over?

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.

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.

Got to love how Justin has to talk to Trump. Like a kid. We have done big things and you're a smart boy. Got to praise the cult leader to make him happy. I truly wish Justin was our president. What a great person and he speaks clearly and is smart. He isn't annoying or an idiot like trump. We truly live in the stupid timeline. Canada is going to get their items from Europe and Asia and South America. So congratulations America we are about to lose so much. Trump is making us weaker.

Canada has been sucking on the teet of America for too long. They need to be their own country and stop relying on the US. They can't defend themselves without us. That alone should require some kind of compensation. Everyone including Canada has taken advantage of the USA for to long and when we stick up for ourselves we're the bad guys

Ukraine is a lost cause and not America's problem, Canada should send some of the millions of Indians they're happily replacing their citizens with to go die in Eastern Europe instead of demanding the US play babysitter for the rest of the world for no gain

Remember Trudeau just like zenkesky failed to remember that it's not Joe in charge anymore someones in there that will not be disrespected an told what when or he was what's going to happen an especially in the position everyone is in America is not going to be a sucker no more an show love to other countries we don't get back no love now let's make if fair across the board an the tarrifs are great us people just want some of there needs an security but we're trillions in debt an no body seems to help or care or even say anything about it an the saddest part of it all is president trumps fault that how stupid people an brainwashed that the left had left on them hate in the there hearts

We're sorry world, we got corporate America attacking and infiltrating our gov. We got a bad case of stupid making its rounds and unfortunately, they're in the middle of FAFO.

Trudeau what you're saying about Putin ain't good,President Putin works so hard to safeguard the rights of the weak and prevent them from exploitation by the strong in the society,on the other hand President Trump may have made a decision that doesn't suite you but that doesn't mean he's dumb, if his decision ain't favoring you simply sit done with him and converse to find a solution.Russia is not the enemy of America but the people who spread propagandas about Russia are the ones creating an imaginary enemy who in real sense is actually a friend.

Wrong! We’re going to create more jobs in America because we need to rely less on imports from other countries and more on what we make right here in the United States. It’s called economics 101.

It’s about bringing companies and jobs back to America …. They’re NOT our allies when WE protect them with our Military!! Europe buying all their energy from Russia??

Trump is still putin's b...tch like all the rest of republikkkans. They're fools playing his game, so in end America finally will be isolated with no allies. When that happens, trump will know who's really against America.

“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

You’re all delusional if you think this hurts America more than Canada ???

Zelensky was in no position to make demands. Trump wants the war to stop, zelensky wants firepower. The war needs to come to a stop and we need to stop funding a war involving a country we're not even allied with. \n\nIf you dont agree with tariffs, it means you know that you import way to much shit. Dont like the tariffs, build it in america. Thisnis about american jobs.

Thank you Trump and your idiocratic and senseless tariffs because you have untied Canadians in a way that have not been seen in a while. Im so happy we're sticking to our plans and not be bullied. The whole fentanyl issue is an excuse. He doesnt give a sh*t about anyone but his billionare cronies. His incredibly pathetic. I echo our Prime Minister's sentiment and sorry America, we were forced to do so. And we know this is NOT ALL of America. God bless us

As a Swiss I stand on the side of the free world. I stand on the side of Canada & Ukraine. To the Trump-Regime in the US: you stand alone. You‘re making America regret again!

America…you’re getting taxed on all sides - Canada, China, and Mexico. These retaliatory tariffs are very strategic as well to hit you where it hurts the most. Your farms and food supplies are also going to get hit by lack of workers. I’m so worried for you. Fight back! This man is trying to destroy your country. Follow the money - where it’s being taken from (jobs, Medicaid, etc) and where it’s going TO (tax cuts for most wealthy, contracts for billionaires). The SAVE Act is trying to make it very difficult for minorities and WOMEN to vote. They are trying to basically take over so they can’t be put out of power, only the wealthy get educated properly, the poor go to military service, and they may even start looking at invading other countries. Why create conflict with Canada? To start the narrative that we are evil…and that we must be “protected”. It’s all there, America!! Please wake up!!!

Canada you’re no match to America.

Screw the canadians? you're telling me canada is better off than america? Yeah suuuuure????

Embarrassing! Anyone regret voting for Trump and Vance, aka Dumb and Dumber? They're pro-Russia and will destroy America.

oh boy America is trembling in our collective boots.....you're a lame duck Frenchy, your own country HATES you. Pick up your hockey sticks and go home.

We're sick of the orange menace. He's a danger not only to us but America and the free world. Americans should be livid at his behaviour, not only with tariffs, but more so to his cozying up to Putin. Trump has disrespected all the men and women that made the ultimate sacrifice to defend freedom and democracy. This draft dodger that calls them suckers and losers. I've got news for you folks, he thinks you're all suckers and losers. It's up to you to stand and fight.

Ok MAGA… anyone able to answer him? Can any of you ‘make it make sense’? The cover of non-existent Canadian fent crisis is off the table. It’s horseshit and you know it. So please, explain why we’re abandoning every ally from North America to Europe and aligning ourselves with dictators and oligarchs whose open goal is our destruction… Sincere question: Why? Why is any of this the right thing for the USA? From the awful economic impacts to our impending utter isolation in the world, why do you support this?

As a Dutch European who was going on holiday to the States which i cancelled and re-booked to Canada ( and so did my travel companions ) i do stand with Canada and would rather spend my money there now ( the least i can do for what they did for us, no matter how little, every little bit helps ) Sorry to the good Americans, but i will not spend one cent in America or on\n American goods for as long as that Dictator is in power. I'm pretty sure Europe welcomes you with open arms! ❤️??????

I find it so disturbing that I’m gonna say this if JD Vance little man JD Vance, the guy who called himself he was in the battlefield, but he wasn’t in no battle. He was just in the battlefield cleaning boots and you know making sure his gun work and you know cleaning his helmet, but he never went outside. He never went outside and what kills me. Is people who talk like they real veterans but they did no vet. They did no vet you ain’t no vet you talked about, the guy who is running with Kamala make it seem like he lied but she was in Afghanistan or I mean Iraq or whatever you call yourself you was in a compound. I know that for fact, JD Vance was in a compound awaiting instructions to see if you were able to go out there battle you didn’t go battle you watch the convoy go in and out. You are the same people you watch in mash mash the show when everybody go outside those same people sitting inside just cleaning boots and walking around that’s what he was doing, if this guy think that you guys could do whatever is dumb let everybody know mega is dumb. I don’t care what mega wanna say you put them in front of a scoreboard and you give them testes they going to show you their dumb most mega is dumb. They’re uneducated. That’s a fact There’s no going around it uneducated OK you can see from the terrorist that’s being put in. They’re uneducated because I don’t know who that’s why when people telling you they want to bring back religion you need to bring back economics in school bro economics in school. You need to bring what really matters not not you. Let a guy who duck the army twice with foot with phony letters, I don’t know how that’s not Fraud if I was supposed to go to the army army twice wouldn’t that call for me to be investigated and be charged for fraud on phone phones shouldn’t be charged for that but you guys run around here calling out veterans and fire and veterans and JD Van saying he’s a veteran and watching the veterans go down this is why I say you put them boys back on the battlefield. I guarantee you veterans will probably put them in the back put them in the back. Yeah they probably send them out to clean the mind as you know, they used to do to the black, servicemen back in the days they used to send them off the plane knowing they was gonna die. They used to send them off the plane to clean mines knowing that they’re gonna die. They used to send them off the planes and shot them while they’re getting shot by the opposition, tell me America if I’m lying about that didn’t you do that to the black serviceman you let them jump off the plane you shot at them but those same black servicemen help us win the war it wasn’t just American white blood they died just like everybody else they died and coward faster the black servicemen help us win the war from air and ground Those Jews, the Jews they help us war to so many races that they’re not telling you that helped you win this war World War I and two America is lying to you guys and that’s what’s been the problem for decades. America is lying to the people and they won’t take acceptability But JD Von he’s gonna get the president of United States. I’d rather vote for pence I’d rather vote for the same guy you say you wanted to vote for him for president then JD Vance if we had to put vice president up there and you had a choice out of say the Democrats loss and you had a choice out of JD Vance or pence I had to choose pence, I would choose Cristi. I would choose them near my feet. It doesn’t have a name to go into. I choose my feet. I would choose somebody else’s feet then put a despicable guy like JD vans a couch hump like JD vans AAA I can’t find a white bread American apple pie woman to marry but I had to go out and use my catalog to buy a woman from out-of-state pregnant her and give her a green card JD vans hell fuck fuck noyou will never get my vote even when you die. You won’t get my vote even when they died you won’t get my vote. Good luck, sir.
