Treaudu is a clown. \nJust like Biden and zelensy. I remember what he did to the protesters. \nAmerica doesn't need you. We never have. We DONT NEED YOU. YOU ARENT EVEN FOLLOWING JESUS CHRIST ❤ YOU SIR ARE THE ?

The war on drugs started with Nixon it isn't something you can win by closing the land borders, they will always find a way to get drugs to people that want to use them which includes setting up drug labs in America. Portugal and The Netherlands have pretty comprehensive drug policies but America either won't take note or doesn't want to. Maybe it is about filling for profit prisons among other things.

Already know that our gov doesn’t care about the people

Donald Trump is mentally deficient. Americans should withdraw all aid to the Republican Party especially Donald Trump. He has either succumb to dementia and Alzheimer’s, or he is compromised by Russia. Either way he needs to be impeached and convicted with a message to JD Vance that he’ll be next if he doesn’t do better.

If you watch CNN ? you are part of the problem LOL check on WHO pays them to spin the narrative!\n\nWar? Dictator ? Those are some strong and exaggerated words. As a diplomat he should know better ? just protect the borders like a good neighbor and you won’t have any issues … I think the US will be ok. \n\nCanada ?? has been an open border, ask all your DoorDash and Uber drivers in the US where they are coming from !!!! They all say Canada… Indians, Turkish, Palestine, Hispanics… quit lying ?\n\nJust because he speaks gently doesn’t mean he ain’t full of ?\n\n“Donald” uhmm President Trump .. homeboy shows little respect … for the president the entire country chose.

If anyone thinks trump is a joke and he doesn’t know what he’s doing just look at how desperate Trudeau was calling for you to rise up. Never mentioned his own and the reprocutions this will have on his own ppl. We don’t want a world order. Wake up.

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

He is calling him Donald ... JT doesn't have the stature or the assertiveness to act that way. For one thing, he is still just too young. Mr. Trump is older and very experienced and very knowledgeable and quite insightful. So that makes a difference. Please don't try to overdo your presentation, it does not work.

Sorry Canada for the idiocy of our @$$ hole president. I agree with Trudeau's speech, but sadly he doesn't realize he is talking reasonably to a man who is a psychopath and does not care about what is right. He is trying to become a dictator and has no sense of reason

You tell him, Justin! Your country doesn’t deserve this. Remember that most Americans really like and respect Canada ?? ??

I think you need to worry about your own country. You are only talking about America for some strange reason. America doesn’t give a shit what you think.

America deserves who they voted for. The rest of the world doesn't.

trump doesn't care, he duped his followers and now hes free to plunder the us and fill his rich friends and families pockets

Fat Donny is on his own we the American people are with Canada and Ukraine I can't wait until one day he doesn't wake up.

These tariffs are not about policy differences. They appear to be personal. Trump is settling scores. Many Trump voters believe that Mexico, Canada, Russia, China, Ukraine, and even the EU interfered in the US presidential and congressional elections in 2020, 2022, and in 2024 to help the Democrats strip us Americans of our rights and lock Republicans out of power permanently. It doesn't matter if its actually true or not. It's the perception that matters most and that has the bigger consequence. MAGA and President Trump are responding to the appearance of foreign interference in our elections. That's why he's preparing the shut down the DACA program too because we believe the DACA recipients sought to influence the last 4 elections and MAGA wants to punish all of them for that.

It's very simple to understand... no NATO in Ukraine because too close to Moscow. That's all Putin wants. \nAnd Canada doesn't want to understand that... So President \nTrump is going to punish Canada for wanting to continue the war like Biden wanted.

Trump believes the fairytale that America doesn't need it's old allies because Russia(Putin) would never attack America. Talk about all your eggs in one wonky basket!

It's because up until now you've shown Trump you are a weak leader. He doesn't respect you.

Canada doesn't seem to understand that we don't need them. We can make everything in america its simple. Thats the route trump is going. Sorry canada but time to take care of yourself. Its sad but canada should be able to take care of it's ppl on its own

Trump doesn't care about fair, doesn't care about truth, doesn't care about anything other than 1) how much he can get people to fawn over him and 2) how much money he can make off of any situation, regardless of who gets hurt in the process.\n\nHey Trudeau, why don't you just annex the US as the 11th Canadian province! That's what I'm talking aboot!

Donald doesn’t understand the concept of tariffs. He sounds dumb and everyone who doesn’t understand tariffs, please know we the consumer are the victims of the most dumbest decision.

The US gives $200 billion yearly to Canada. U.S. banks are not allowed to do business in Canada, but yet we allow their banks in the US...by the way LOOK IT UP. You liberals are what's wrong with both countries. Inflation is created by printing money with no concrete backing such as gold/oil, not tariffs. Will tariffs create short term inflation yes, will it stimulate jobs, spending absolutely yes. For those liberals who keep saying how intelligent this ? is...this is the same guy who disarmed his beloved citizens and gave the guns to Ukraine. For those who sympathize with this ?, move to Canada. I have no ill will towards Canadians except the cancerous liberals that allow idiots like Trudeau to take office. Look at the facts before you sympathize with a country that doesn't benefit us in EQUAL FAIR TRADE.

I buy a lot from Canada. It’s True Trump doesn’t know how a tariff works. I’m already getting the emails that prices are going up from my distributors.

As a Canadian this goof doesn't speak for all of us.

Yes, put a counter tariff on the US! Trump doesn’t care! It’s RUSSIA’s US now. US is a nazi country.

The problem with Trudeau is, he doesn't do the weave! He talks clearly, fluently, and he sticks to the point. He needs to drop a ton of bullshit in it all, like a real leader.

WWCDD? I just hope we all remember the hard times we have had to go through together, the exploitation of white males going blackface will never be overlooked. Justin we stand with you (as an American), I am willing to overlook your blackface picture. Yes, you have made some horrible decisions but that doesn't mean we are not with you! We will get through this together!!!!!

Funny how everyone has support for Trudeau when his own country doesn’t support him. He is on his was out anyways.

So let me get this straight...Canada can shun American products by making them more expensive but doesn't like it when the US makes Canadian products more expensive.

USA doesn’t need Canada. They need us

Trump doesn’t care, this is a gong show to distract. Let’s get the border armed.

Does Trudeau realize he's dealing with a mentally ill man? It doesn't matter what he does DJT will just make up another excuse.

I just just don't understand what these blanket tariffs achieve for Americans. Firstly, employment in the US is at an all time high, if the aim is to bring back primary and manufacturing industries then it's just a myth. It's just pointless and mindless. Nobody wants to go back to working in heavy industry, people want high paying, highly specialized industries, this doesn't create that, it just makes cost of living higher so wages have to go up and cost of bringing in raw materials goes up, all things that discourage start up companies that employ well educated and skilled Americans

AMERICA DOESN'T NEED CANADA!!!!

MAGA nuts don’t care what Trump does , long as it helps their selfish interests. Most Americans love Our neighbors . Trump and Vance are not friendly people , they are basically Adolf and Himmler reincarnation from another time. A time of great racial hate and greed. All MAGA wants is cheap energy , food , and get rid of anybody not like themselves ……Trump encourages these low brow people promising to eliminate anybody who doesn’t agree with his base of voting power. Trump,fancies himself a King and wants the world to bow down to his policies. He is one of the, we are many , let’s not let Trump copy Putin s Russia.nightmare.

Robert De Niro’s statement on Donald is perfect. \n\n “I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men. I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty. Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly. I see an evil one. Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.” Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong. Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped. Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them. We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego. We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership. We tried to warn the world in 2016. The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination. Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world. We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags. The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior. That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse. Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously. So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America: This is our last chance. Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator. And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided. So what do we do about it? I know I’m preaching to the choir here. What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls. We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice. Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them. Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect. Let’s not talk about “democracy.” “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. Let’s talk about right and wrong. Let’s talk about humanity. Let’s talk about kindness. Security for our world. Safety for our families. Decency. Let’s welcome them back. We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.””

Wished he wasn't leaving office. Doesn't make sense that he is leaving now. Trump and GOP needs to leave office.

Trump doesn’t even grasp the fact that tariffs are paid by the companies importing goods into the US and passed on to consumers - he seems to think that the tariffs are paid by the exporting country. Some businessman!

It doesn’t make cents and it’s not common cents to understand the 25 per cent ?

I am with you Canada. We are on the wrong side of things. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself.

Trump is just stupid... He doesn't know how relationships work!!!.. He needs to be stopped

Sad day for both sides. this incompetent man being in the office 30 days he’s creating all this chaos. He doesn’t know how to work with diplomacy and work with people who know what they are doing. Clearly he doesn’t & this is how a leader of country speaks. Lord help us what’s next, every day is some new disaster.

The majority of the American people are with you Canada, we didn't want this either. This doesn't have anything to do with drugs. The problem we have is President Shit-for-Brains doesn't understand that tariffs are a mistake because he's a moron who also appears to be a Russian asset, always doing Russia's will regardless of how it will effect the USA.\n\nTrudeau knows how to be a leader. I wish he were OUR president.

Trump doesn’t care about his own people let alone drug addicts, and why do we keep forgetting that he’s a pathologically lying criminal? Tired of politicians having to compliment the Emperor’s clothes for the sake of diplomacy

I love Canada and didn't vote for Trump he is so stupid he doesn't know what he is doing

Trudeau has his balls crossed he doesn't have the population like the United States has not to mention money population not to mention we been a country longer than Canada been a country I always considered Canada as a great country though they have issues too like any other countries have look at British Columbia and there drug crisis and Toronto where ever there's more people there's more problems that's The bottom line!

The us relationship isn’t just deteriorated between them and Canada \nIt is the same for any other country in the world just now \nThe US doesn’t have a genuine friend now anywhere other than Russia and North Korea \n\nFrankly, I hope Trump continues his stupidity and it kills the US because the only way to demonstrate to the immense dumb electorate that supports Trump is for his own idiocy to hurt them. We don’t have time to try to educate them now. These people are an equal mix of ignorance, racism and entitlement. \n\nI’m in france and I’ll be honest, if I see or hear a US national (and we can figure out who is Canadian and not) then they will get no help from anyone here. \n\nThe US i grew up admiring as a kid in the U.K., the us I subsequently worked and lived in, the us people I worked with globally … all gone\nAnd frankly, it is the fault of the American electorate

Appeasing Putin? Really Justin....and what's your plan, just keeping the meat grinder going? This child will just get more and more Ukrainians killed. Time to pursue peace. We know what this is all about. He just despises Trump. He doesn't really matter.

I feel that Americans supporting Trump still doesn't understand what a tariff means ! Lol
