It's unbelievable, but.. not really coming from the Orange guy, We love our Canadian brothers and sisters, im a disabled Vet, i stand with Canada and Ukraine, most the people of the USA do not stand with Trump, or his cabinet, in his delusional thinking about fentanyl it's a made-up lie it's propaganda seriously from the northern border and not the southern border there's no drugs coming through our Northern friends he's nitpicking at anything to start this trade war

you idiot american tv hosts are laughing about it oh dumb donald tanking the stock market until the security guy comes on like wtf are we doing? and you guys just still nervously laugh it off oh this is serious \n\n\nwait and see how serious it gets

And you are any better than the words coming out of your mouth! You are a joke! This guy is only doing what’s good for him. But, I don’t have to say anything because the Canadian people know that you are terrible!!

I am so proud of Canada. The rest of the world needs to step in here. Start putting tariffs on the United States and sanction Trump musk and any Republican that stands with them. Come on the world. The American people need a push to get rid of trump Canada. The true Americans love you guys

I can tell y’all dont play chess ♟️ Politics is just like a chess game with more pieces. This guy is about to leave office and when the next prime minister comes watch what happens ? this “trade war” is a bluff to make them do what we want, checker players ? no American nor Canadian will be hurt during this genius move ? look at Mexican president feeling the pressure that they coughed up 29 cartel members and they just got extradited to New York including one that killed a US DEA agent in 1985! With the threat of tariffs the Colombian president changed his mind about picking up his own people that crossed our border illegally instantly. He even sent his own planes ✈️ to get them. Our tariffs is to bring jobs back to America ?? and a major negotiating tool. Ya’ll confused Democrats in the comment section don’t even know what planet ? you standing on.

„You‘re a very smart guy“ Oh come on, we all know better!

AMERICA: One thing you guys may not grasp yet.... we may be nice, but we love a fight and when you come at some of us... you automatically come at ALL of us. To the MAGA people of america: F×#$ You. To the rest, we get its not your fault. ELBOWS UP!!!!! CANADA STRONG!!!!!!!!!! ?? ? ?? ?

Look up the French connection it’s how drugs especially opiates go from Asia to turkey to Italy to Canada a lottttttt of drugs come through the north this guy is a liar and if prices go up we work and make money so whatever bro

That’s the question “WHAT IS THIS REALLY ABOUT” there is something very wrong going on here! This current ?leading our country straight into hell has reasons far beyond fent! Like Prime Minister Trudeau said “that’s his excuse” esp. with Canada as we have known & for anyone who hasn’t known,they do now. Canada is not our biggest concern of Fent getting into our country! Trump wants to look like a hero to his sheep but he is only a puppet being played by Putin!What is it that Putin has that either is on Trump or what Trump wants! Keywords “what Trump wants” bc none of us want this! He is weakening our country almost daily & getting closer to Russia?! Russians don’t even trust Putin,let alone any Americans, esp leaders! Putin would destroy his own for power & yet Trump thinks he’s some “good trustworthy guy” we are headed into a very very dark time! The faster we get him out the faster we can repair the damage done! Idk how anyone supports this ?any longer\nAs an American I stand with Canada ?? Ukraine ?? Mexico ?? Europe! Ppl get ur passports ready! I’m ready to leave & come back in 4yrs!

Can you Canadians maybe ask your King to have his other countries put tariffs on us down here in the US? What's the point of having one if you don't ask him for a little help when bad guys come after you. My country needs to learn a lesson and the faster it happens, the less pain there is for everyone.

??? Oh boy. Little Trudeau acting like a tough guy. Canada will come crawling. It's only a matter of time. Mexico? They're screwed too. Just wait and see.

This guy is lying so hard lol. Immigrants were coming in from your own country to America. America needs to start making our own stuff!! We been buying from everyone for years, but time to change that!!!!

Coming from a guy that doesn't quite look like he's going to be there long. 1.7 trillion that's trillion dollars of manufacturing money coming to America because of the tarrif threats. Not Canada but America, real jobs and money not government jobs.

This coming from the guy that froze the truckers bank accounts and has acted like a dictator for years. All you had to do Canada is secure your border and pay your fair share into NATO. You didn’t……

I don't believe nothing this guy says. screw Canada, screw Mexico and screw the UK \nAmerica comes first!!!!!!!!! 1st

Oh what a surprise, Trudeau is a tough guy and taking a atand knowing he will be out of office when the blowback comes. What a leader. What a hero.

I can't believe the people of the USA really elected him. Come on, you know Trump plays very dirty--I refuse to believe that the majority of voters are this brain dead. If our nation is this stupid then we deserve everything that is coming to us. PS: Trudeau, it's way too nice to tell Trump he's a smart guy--he's evil, not at all intelligent. Can we please stop conflating scheming, bullying and manipulation with intelligence---any dumb ass can scheme, bully and manipulate (the prisons are full with this kind of human being), but you actually have to be intelligent to collaborate, listen and manage.

This guy is Fidel Castro’s bastard son. It’s an undeniable truth and he is a plant of the cabal. Learn history and where he comes from, who his “parents” befriended. His “father” was a cuck to Fidel and Justin is the love child from that relationship.

Something sinister is going on. This is a phoney war. Follow the money. Who benefits? Billionaires of course. Artificially disrupt and manipulate markets and make a killing. Then watch the tariff war come to an end. As usual it is the little guy who suffers.

.... Well I'll tell you what Trudeau,.... None of us people wanted these tariffs either... At least not the people who are sane... I don't even think the people who voted for Donald Trump wanted these tariffs against the rest of the world either....I really don't understand the sense behind it because this is not going to make America greater.... It's going to destroy the economy of America and whatever the country it is that he poses these tariffs on... He thinks this is a strategy for getting what he wants... But I'll tell you what, he may be shocked and sadly mistaken when he finds out that it might just backfire ...this is a very conceited attempt to get the type of economic condition that he envisions for his new Dictatorship over America....he has alienated United States from its allies in Europe as well as its allies here at home.... This is probably about as dumb as his treatment of Volodimir Zelensky that just transpired on Friday at the oval office...and that idiot Vance is the one actually that has started that little debacle....I don't know man I thought these guys had more sense than to do this kind of shit.... But see this kind of situation is not going to affect him or his billionaire buddies because they have so much money they can cushion themselves until the cows come home....these assholes don't have nothing to worry about except the American people finding an emergency way of getting his ass out of office unless he changes course on all of this... I don't know if he can be impeached or not... But it might be a smart thing to find out if it IS possible.... AND EVEN IF IT IS WE STILL HAVE HIS SITTING REPLACEMENTS STILL IN OFFICE AS WELL SO I DON'T SEE THIS GOING AWAY WITHIN THE NEXT 4 YEARS UNLESS HE COMES BACK TO HIS SENSES, AND POSSIBLY GOES TO A DOCTOR AND HAVE HIS HEAD CHECKED....\nDTheMadkat123\nFrom a borrowed phone \n....the only thing I really do support that he is doing is securing the border and dealing with immigration issues here.... That's it that's all I was hoping that he would really focus on being in the oval office, and possibly standing by Ukraine, and Israel during these evil days.... Buddying up to Putin is like the single most insane thing that has come from this as well..I just hope and pray that he comes back to his senses and backtracks on all of this shit.... Besides I like Canada House whiskey, and Canada Dry Ginger ale, and other products from Canada.... Stand strong Canadians, I love you all, and I hope we can make it through these tough times ahead...but obviously the road that we're traveling now there really is no guarantees is there ?? Lady can you shut the hell up and go back to what Trudeau is saying ??

PRESIDENT TRUMP PLEASE COME LIBERATE US. THIS GUY WONT GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!

Keep pushing down the little guys, cheeto man. Nothing bad ever comes from that. ^w^

This is the same guy that closed peoples bank accounts during covid starving families where truck drivers and farmers couldn't make a living a dictator driven by self power and here we have u.s citizens saying they agree with him and his sugar coating if that's the case move to Canada we have become to dependent on other countries supplying us with what we can produce ourself its time to get back to work made in America for Americans there is nothing we can't do if we come together and stop believing the hype that we need other countries

Not my government. It's a coup. They are letting the swamp in and dismantling government and our rights, inch by inch. This is what the cult 47 have voted for. To be aligned with Russia is atrocious! I'm not a rich white guy, so I will always be looking over my shoulder. Who will be left to stand up for you when they come? Oh, and I love you Canada! I wish my grandparents would've stayed there after marriage instead of moving back to the Ultra Swamp (US).

As an American I am so sorry for the pathetic acts of that man who isn't my president. He has the job and he's fucking it up properly. I am sorry. We are sorry. We will make up for this in the future and history will hold the asshole responsible. Again I'm sorry. We don't want this. They don't listen and our elected representatives are underpowered and weak to fix things.\n\nAre you guys taking American political refugees yet? I'm ready to come north.

You guys wanna grow weed, you need POTASH-it comes from the Caribbean--Cut your production now...save your money

Okay. Do what you want. Not sure why so many people on here are slobbing this guys knob. Your tariffs will not hurt me. I don’t consume a single Canadian item. My maple comes from Vermont. My cheese always from here too. I’m sure some will be affected by your tariffs but no one I know.

Stop the illegals from coming in then.\n\nSuch a tough guy\nLol\nYour people no what you are

I used to keep a refrigerator full of beer and a well stocked liquor cabinet. My friends were at my house 7 days a week. I stopped buying beer and boxed up my liquor and all my friends got mad and stopped coming by to visit. Our country has borrowed \n$37 trillion dollars and given a lot away to countries that claimed to be our friends and partners. We stopped giving money away and we are the bad guys? \nYeah I see a parallel.

We are all living in strange times! The bad guy (Putin) is defended like he’s the good guy and the victim (Zelensky) is criticized like he’s the aggressor. This is so weird and negative like an episode of the Twighlight Zone! I think I can understand how Trump is viewing things. Bill O’Reilly seems to know how Trump thinks. Nevertheless, things are upside down! USA voting at the UN with North Korea and Putin and Belarus and against the EU and UK and NATO alliance nations … against the victim Ukraine? This is unheard of! Yet this is so ironic because Leonid Brezhnev, who was the USSR leader, when Russia invaded the sovereign nation of Afghanistan, and Vladimir Putin was a young KGB agent at that time, working for Brezhnev, is now in his position as leader, and he invaded Brezhnev’s sovereign homeland of Ukraine. Brezhnev must be weeping from hell and regretting his invasion of Afghanistan! Crying from hell, seeing his servant, Putin, in his seat of authority, and invading his homeland like he did to Afghanistan, I’m sure Brezhnev regrets but it’s too late now. He’s burning in hell and he can’t get out of hell! \n\nThe bad deal that Clinton and Yeltson and John Major dealt to Ukraine in the 1990s when they moved all of her nuclear weapons to Russia was like declawing the Ukrainian cat and now the cat can’t defend herself against aggressors because she has no claws to defend herself from aggressive attackers!\n\nCanada and Mexico are our friends not our enemies! China and North Korea still idolize the USSR/CCCP flag and Soviet Union hammer and sickle. Putin is a thug and gangster like Joseph Stalin. Everyone forgot what happened to Alexander Litvinenko except for those like John Bolton. \n\nWe are all living in perilous times! The wrongdoer (Putin) is called good and the victim (Zelensky) is called bad! This is so negatively bizarre and wrong! Isaiah 5:20 warns against this! Putin is not pure evil but he’s definitely not a good guy! He’s a gangster and thug like Al Capone! I think President Trump is walking on a tight rope by trying to make a good deal with Putin. And that tight rope spans from one high rise building to another - the senate and house chambers of the US legislature. The midterms are coming soon and if President Trump loses the house and senate, that tight rope could snap! And all those shock and awe executive orders etc. could come back to haunt him like a boomerang thumping his head.\n\nNever in my wildest imagination would I ever imagine Canadians harboring bad feelings towards the USA! This is 180 degrees opposite of how things were when Ronald Reagan and Brian Mulroney were in the political arena!

You know there's an old saying that I'm sure Trump is very wise about you keep your friends close and your enemies closer I would say the way Canada is talking they consider us an enemy look at all these other countries that suddenly lined up against America who bailed all of them out of World War II and who brought down the Berlin Wall that shows how thankful you are and America's been paying the highest of the EU and the United Nations than any of you chicken countries I would just laugh at all of you you don't get it and all these comments are from Liberal Democrats who hate Trump it's real obvious that's who his fan base is Trudeau the little boy from the north who's not smart enough to come in from the cold poor guy he's in for a rude awakening she thinks he's going up against America and that we believe any of his BS

All of this coming from a guy who closed the parliament and refuses to tell us when we will have an election in Canada....This is his fault and Singh from NDP...He has no control over borders and crime is rampant in Canada..His own justice minister had his car stolen twice.He should protect his country like trump doing...

Trump is just a liar. These tariffs have nothing to do with fentanyl it’s all comes from trump having no clue what running a country requires do he is just acting like a tuff guy to assuage his ego. He only ran to stay out of prison. Facts matter \nLike the fact there was 14000 deaths last year from fentanyl in USA. Not 10 million. Fact In the last 10 years there has been 1.1 million deaths. Also only 0.01 % comes across the Northern border. We will deal with Europe and Asia and leave America alone like the rest of the world.

This is the same guy that froze everybody’s bank account because they were protesting you. This is the same guy that won’t stop illegal immigrants with fentanyl coming over the border through Vermont New York? I don’t believe you.

Guys you understand canada priminster brings canada very poor country also support terrorists, I love canada come back right direction with other prime minister, canada is great country no doubt

BS. they just want money for war. meanwhile people die. Spread fear is the goal. The evil Putin will come for you. Booooo! Just stop Nato and all wars are over next day. No invasion, No killing.. also no weapon money, no gas,food, high prices.. I wonder how many still believe this guy.

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

And their drug Labs that they discovered that they didn't know that was there all of a sudden how come there's only one person in each drug lab how come there's nobody else that got arrested or you don't hear anymore about that cuz he's guys are involved.

Am much as it will hurt us Americans. I want Canada's to know I am fully with you guys. I got my generator ready as I know what's coming next. May we all weather this horrible storm and come out stronger. Hopefully, the Americans who believe in a con man and his cronies finally wake up and rid us of them all. If they do, I'm certain America will not fall for this kind of man for at least another 50 years. Sometimes, people don't realize what they have until it's gone.

As an American, I hate that Trump has tanked foreign relations. I hope we can come to an agreement which gives all nations money, not just Americans. Fight for your nation guys we will try to fix ours.

Everything this guy has said is false and he cannot back up his statements,, we have yet to hear from the Fentanyl Czar,,,, no one has increased the checking of our ports and their cargo,, lie,, lie lie,,, the money set aside for the fight in drug war is not set to come for fruition for 2 years,, America, trudeau is the most hated pm in Canada,, but you wouldn’t know that because the media in Canada is paid and sponsored by the liebrel government. Do not listen to this corrupt lier but pray for us Canadians??

4 years ago the Canadians wanted this guy out now he is the hero... Keep at it you'll come around is the life lesson

So, has the USA under Trump turned into a Russian asset.?\nSeriously, the rest of the civilised world especially us in the UK are looking in open-mouthed astonishment at the behaviour of the nominal leader of the free world.\nAmerica is morphing into a broken and divided society, but in the meantime, you're scaring everyone else guys, including your historical allies, because Trump is untrustworthy, he's coming across like a gangster who sees everything as a opportunity for self-enrichment.\nTrump is looking like Putin's Poodle.\nPutin really has got him on a collar and lead, definitely his yappy little Handbag dog..!!!

So we have a bunch of people who want wars, hating and attacking a guy who wants these wars to come to an end and the bullshit to stop. Make it make sense.

The irony is that the US have for the past 40 decades preached the gospel of doing the right thing, no matter the cost, sticking for what is right, the tortured hero tale, the importance and responsibility that comes with great power, in movie after movie, show after show, to now siding with the biggest bully on the planet. If we (Europeans) ate it up (the media) , i can’t imagine how confused some north americans might be right now. I feel sorry for you guys

Coming from the guy who shut down his people's Banks because they wanted to help support worker's that this Guy also screwed over.

I love Canadian people I do not like your leader. He sounds righteous today. Make no mistake of the Skeltons this man has. I do support President Trumps decision we neen to make changes for our country as do you guys have to do. Better days are coming us all things will get rough for a while. Loll to your leader to do his part for your country. He needs to get creative business wise instead of putting blame. Why is your leader looking to fight he should be thinking about how to solve problems and create business. I love Canadians We will get through this. Bucket up thing will get rough for all of us we all have to make changes. We believe in Donald Trunp and the many men and woman that have stepped up to change this country. May God be with us all may we get thought rough times may these wars come to and end.

I have been warning people for 10 years ago about Donald Trump I've been warning people about 8 years for Elon Musk and all the Billionaires here in America prepare yourself this day is coming and everybody laughed in my face so I have been preparing this whole damn time and this is also every news outlets problem too because you guys been sugarcoating Donald Trump and Elon Musk and the rest of the Billionaire...\n#NATIONINDISTRESS

As an American I'd like to say, I didn't vote for this, please don't hate us.. and can I please come live with you guys?? I can't afford a passport cause I'm not a wealthy American, but I'm hard working and I'm polite... Please

Guys stop this non-sense , summer is coming Lets have a cold beer and chill wat are you talking about
