As an American, this makes sense. We have always had a deficit with canada and Europe. Trump wants that to end, and America is always stronger on its own. As much as I like our neighbors in Canada, your government is trash and has been trashing your country. You guys need your own donald

Canadians want American support but boo the national anthem make it make sense

His a joke like all the politicians - no exceptions… talking about some numbers that doesn’t make sense… what a dirty way - to say indirectly to the American people to boycott their government ? trade war isn’t a war it call business - better than what any president that still support any people losing their lives in a nonsense conflict.

Seriously…MAKE IT MAKE SENSE

He really doesn’t wanna play with Trump Trump a businessman that’s what America has become a business so it’s only fair if you’re gonna charge 25 I’m gonna charge you 25 right that makes sense

Nothing Makes sense. I just don’t understand what the hell is happening. Pig ass not my president

Make that make sense... Okay put your money where your mouth is... You don't want to help Russia make Canada the 51st state. Anything else is lip service

Trump is doing the same thing to Australia. The US has a trade surplus with us so tariffs make even less sense. Americans are turning on their close allies and siding with Russia. Insane.

Trudeau it doesn't make sense. I have an MBA in accounting. I will get results on my cpa test for Far and Ifrs. There are a few of us getting ready to leave and never return. This country US.is getting worse. We hope to leave soon.

Oh now I’m seeing it’s CNN comments makes sense

We don't need these resources we buy from them. We have a trillion dollar deficit annually with Canada, make THAT make sense. Sorry Trump wants to even that out a little?

Makes absolutely no sense for the US to go after Canada of all places. Absurd.

Ill maks it make sense. The usa cannot fight a 2 prong war. Europe needs to focus on Russia while usa focuses on china. It was proven a year ago that if we fought with both. We would run out of ammo in 2 weeks. We are competing with china now. Not Europe not Canada not mexico. China!

As an American,It seems almost strange to see someone make a speech that makes perfect sense. \n\nNot blathering and nonsensical words and half sentences. \n\n?

DT Tarif does not make sense.

As a Canadian citizen, it’s not that I do not feel like my interests and well-being doesn’t matter. I know it doesn’t matter. He close attention to what he says as well such as make that make sense is a popular conservative or republican slogan. These are mental gymnastics in order to confuse the majority and misdirect the population. As it says in the Bible let he who is without sin cast the first stone and lately. I see a lot of people throwing stones in glass houses.

I will help you make sense of this Trudeau is a dumb ass and shouldn’t have been elected.\n\nHe has ran the Canadian country to the ground and is looking to pass the buck.\n\nIf the shoe was on the other foot, the ask to put more focus on boarder security wouldn’t be an issue.

It DOESN'T make sense!! I'm so sorry Canada......I know WE Americans will be punished by this horrible/hateful human that some chose as a president.

Make that make sense! ??

“Make that make sense” 12% with high influence ✊?

It doesn't make sense until you're prepared to face the fact that Trump is a wannabe dictator. He is basically at war with any nation that is a democracy and he cosies up to the dictators of the world. He bypasses Congress, ignores the courts, and attacks the free press. It's easy to see the plan once you realise he's just another dictator. Americans voted for this. Well done. I hope you're happy.

I saw a clip that Trumps mother said her son is too stupid for politics I didn’t understand why she said that since he is smart at business.\nNow it makes sense

THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES SENSE IS THAT TRUMP IS WORSE PRESIDENT EVER

I feel sad and embarrassed ? I once was proud of our Country. This is the first time we are having trouble with our own allies. Make this make sense ?This Canadian leader is articulate and ? correct.

Make any of it make sense ?

This doesn't make any sense. We are the closest of friends. Why are we ratcheting up tension with Canada?

It doesn't make sense

I don’t need Canadian Whiskey or Maple Syrup. Welcome 51st State. \n\nEurope is still buying Russian oil , while giving loans to Ukraine. Funding both sides of destruction. Make that make sense. Keep your friends close and enemies closer.

It makes sense if the end game is Trump invades Canada and Mexico, just like Putin invaded Ukraine

Trump got bankrupt 6 times, so how do you expect him to run a country's economy? Make that make sense ?

I'm not an expert by any stretch but I think what America is trying to do is, by doing this, force the US market to start up working again, America can make 90% of everything it needs. \n\nThink about WW2. America wasn't reliant on world trade or manufacturing. Quite the opposite actually.\n\nOnly thing that makes sense to me.

Right? “Make that make sense.” We blue voters don’t/didn’t want it either.

Why does the Canadian government charge more tariffs than the USA. Make it make sense.

Yeah, you put up 1.5 billion to securing your border. Our guy killed a massive bipartisan border reform bill. Make that make sense.

I believe that there is a deep underlining in all of this. Could Trump be planning to literally give the United States to Russia and/ or China? Is Trump being blackmailed? This does not make any DAMN sense! This is the makings of a suspense novel. Something about this is totally out of sync. Someone, investigate this

I’m wondering…since all that trump had implemented do not make sense to anyone, just WHAT is trump’s purpose in souring great ties with allies economically n militarily?? To align USA towards Russian goals??

Slump trump just made all you trump loving idiots lives way worse than what it was. Make that make sense!!!

Can't believe he just said make it make sense

“MAKE THAT MAKE SENSE”!!!

He is making sense though re tariffs?

Make it make sense ??? ? .. .. O.K. : Mr. Putin's been in cryo-tube popsicleland for the last 6 odd year's ! .. .. Got the picture eveverybody ??? .. Yep !!!\n- Say, ..I thought our little honey on the left there bolted some time ago ? .. ..Like your wife did me-buck-o ??\n♎⚖️

It makes sense when it comes to you........ look in the mirror ?

It only makes sense if Trump and his goon squad are working for Putin. Glad to see Canada standing against this despotic regime.

Intelligence speaks two languages and make sense. Trump can't even speak English Bing Bing bong bong bing bong ??

Peace makes sense. Trudeau is a facist.

It only makes sense if you consider that Trump is working for Putin with doing all he can to destroy the U.S. and its allies. It is very obviously what Putin wants. Everything Trump and Musk have been doing has been benefitting Putin.

As an American, I voted AGAINST all of this. It boggles my mind how people chose Trump. Make it make sense.

Indeed. Make that make sense. You have opened a trade war and it's going to hurt your people, Mr. President. You will see protests in your country. We will do what we have to do. Your people are going to suffer and get really tired of all the 'winning'. This is on you. We have complied with all requests. You betrayed us. We won't forget that.

Let's make it make sense. Donald Trump is trying to hand America to Putin the best way he can. The country United States is ran by Soviet Union Russian agents!

This guy is a clown but I'll give him credit, everything he's saying here makes sense for the first time. Markets will continue to be unstable, very interesting to see how this plays out.
