Trump isn’t sabotaging any of his plans by doing this. He’s doing exactly what he wants. Helping his billionaire friends make more billions and consolidate as much power as possible. He doesn’t really see people as people. Everyone is just a tool or a pawn for him to influence in whatever way that helps him get more power.

tRUMP INSULTS AMERICA'S ALLIES & CUSTOMERS. BAD FOR AMERICAN BUSINESS. WHAT PART DOESN'T MAGA GET. YOU/WE WILL ALL LOSE OUR JOBS!!!

Trump don't care He don't care about that. That's just the Trojan-horse. So you don't pay attention of what he's doing. He's just hurting, he's gonna hurt. The Americans first and definitely never going to get Canada. Because if we gotta do World War 3. Come on, we'll play the game. We'll put our cards on the table. Trump

Trudeau control your borders, you have no cards, have nothing compared to the USA... You chose the Tariff Match didn't you now... IF you had 'border' control in place, you wouldn't be able to spend 1 Billion dollars, and you wouldn't be acting just days ago... And yes Since Trump was Elected, border crossings lessened because illegals know they better get with it. Has nothing to do with you Trudeau. ANd you do sugar coat, well lie, about everything. Oh, and Dems don't have your backs. They are busy freaking out right now. lol

I believe that once we get everything on line, we can weather out the storm. What does Canada have that we don't have? All we want is a fair deal. We have endured the burden of ensuring the safety and economic development of our allies. They have all benefitted, and it is time for them to offer some relief while Trump works on our problems back home.

If we are going to be an authoritarian, antidemocratic, fascist dictatorship, we have to shed our old friends who would get all judgy about the the human rights abuses. So, step one, destroy relationships with friends. Step two, buddy up to Putin and other dictatorships who will be glad to trade and associate with us even if we do run concentration camps or whatever.\nOr Trump is sucking Putin's butt again for mysterious reasons. He likes it so much, like a drug addict, he is willing to lose everything . If it were just a matter of his individual tastes, I don't get it, but none of my business. Except by dragging the whole country down for his kink, it is out business. So, I think we should cut Trump lose to go to Russia and run around on his knees chasing Putin as much as he likes. Meanwhile, we need a president and I can only say F-no to Vance and I don't know how many other dictator butt goblins in the line of succession, so, since Trudeau is going to be looking for work, lets make and exception and hire him for president. I'd much rather have one with a pro-Canada bias than one one who seems to think he is Putin's Elon Musk.

Trudeau! Nobody likes you. You’re done. We want to vomit when you speak. You are a disgrace to this Country. You’ve ran our country into the gutter, killing hundreds of thousands of Canadian citizens with your reckless policies and corrupt agenda’s. Stop playing the victim you wounded narcissist. Canada deserves these tariffs. This is all on you. I pray daily that this country will be saved. The light keeps getting brighter as we inch closer to that election! Thank god for Pierre Poilievre!! And we love you Donald Trump!

I still don’t get how MAGA people don’t see how Trump and his administration is screwing our economy even more than it already was!!! His policies are only making the rich even richer while suffocating even more the average American. What will it take for them to open their eyes!!!

Trudeau is a SNAKE. I don't trust him. Keep at it Mr. Trump. We are done being taken advantage of. Trudeau knows exactly that he is not protecting his borders and Fentanyl is leaking across into the US. Don't get me wrong. Canadiens are great people. But Trudeau is a snake. I can't wait for him to leave your government Canada.

Trudeau would never say that directly to trump get real its all a show. Have fun asking for wars and backstabbing your only allies Canada

Bro we dont want this either. Just get trump out the fuck of here

Who's going to explain to Trump that US refineries don't process us oil. We need Canadian and Venezuelan oil. Guess we are getting Russian oil

I support Trump on a lot of issues but not with this. what benefit does Trump have with Russia that he is fighting with all the western countries? The western nations was not at fault with the US getting trillions of dollars in debt, its the fault of all those US presidents who kept of making wars.

Canada, the American people stand with you. Personally I wish that Justin Trudeau was our president! Although I have to disagree with you, Trump is not at all a smart man. In fact he is the exact opposite. He is an imbecile! Undoubtedly, he is the worse thing that has ever happened to to the United States! The people of America needs to get rid of Trump!\n\nBut thank you, Justin Trudeau, for standing up for Canada and all of your reactions is just! Continue to defend your country. You are doing an outstanding job!

Trump hit you with a trade war. I voted for Harris. But I get it. Get Trump real good.??

Can't wait for Trump's response to Trudeau. Get the popcorn.

Trump is not really an American. He wants to be king. He has said it aloud. No real American would seek to be king. It is contrary to our national ethos. Trump will lie, do, and say anything to achieve this goal. What Americans don’t get is that kings need to have serfs. That is our role, in Trump’s eyes, as American citizens. He wants us jobless, penniless and totally dependent on the king. You think I am kidding- Trump is a malignant narcissist given to delusions of grandeur and, you voters have given Trump power to make his insanity a reality. Everyone is now bowing down.

I think this is because of the free amount of billions you get from the USA with nothing in return. Nothing so why should we help! Why is some of your government talking to Trump privately about joining the USA as another state. I believe this will happen!

They need to get read of trump for good get read of him

I Live in Michigan, and I Never Voted for this Monster ?, Trump....\n I voted for Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz....\n I Do Not Endorse Trump's Crazy Tariffs....\n On Behalf of ALL Americans, Who Never Endorsed, These Three stooges, that are Destroying my Country....\n I can Only Hope We can Get Through, This, and I dont Blame Canada, or Mexico, for the Backlash Against Us.....\n I support you're Position.....\nNever in my 62 Year's of being Alive, have I ever witnessed such raw pure Evil, as Trump, JD VANCE, Elon Musk.....\n I apologize in advance, and ask for you're Prayer ? that this Oppressiveness, will STOP ? Soon.....?

I really like the way that he said about he's not going to sugar coat anything and he spoke so clearly to inform Americans what is truly going on with what Trump is doing to this country and Trudeau is telling people the truth just like the leader from North Korea. When you get leaders who barely rare give speeches then you know that they are not bull sh**ing about what they are talking about, but Trump is doing that and he's going to destroy people's lives in America and he's going to destroy America. Why would he turn a country (Canada) who's been there for America into an enemy and that's because he doesn't care about the country and they don't have what he wants and all he cares about is money and power, so know he just turned a country Canada into an enemy, WTF IS HE THINKING ABOUT CLEARLY NOT PEOPLE IN AMERICA!

I live by the Canadian border. It is NOT easy to cross. Trump is lying and just trying to make himself look good even knowing tht Canada is willing to be a partner in combating illegal drugs. He wanted to get his court problems etc off his table. He had to get elected. And ELON helped that. Without Elon the shadow president he wouldn't have. Hell Elon had to pay people to vote for him.

I think it is time to use all the unused land to grow our vegetation and any thing else that gets planted to use for the Canadian. We do have the brain and the finances to grow our own fruit even if it takes a couple of years for the plants to produce the vegetation to supply the need. We need to manufacture our own goods. It is only one simple issue we will face but it is one we can handle! Oil, gas, car parts and cars...do it here and get some of the unemployed individuals Living on Provincial Checks off their butts and put them to work. (any that can at all} It might just surprise people at how many would have a reason to get up in the morning and the self confidence they need to get rid of the very thing Trump said was killing US people and stop it from coming in from the US! If we are going to tell it lets tell the truth!.

Canadians, thank you for taking this challenge. The only way the U.S. citizens will get through this, is for countries to stand up to Trump. We will suffer, too. Again, thank you.

We are discusted about this and we know you will have to do all you have to do. I have always thought Canada and their residents are truly decent and reasonable people ane we don't blame you for anything. We know that the courts are getting involved and hope we can get Trump out of office. \nI personally wish you the best.

What they vote for what they r getting. Donald Trump smh.

Trump is willing to risk the well-being of the entire world as long as he gets money and power.\nIf Putin is arrested everything changes including trumps direction.

Trump needs to get his head out of his ass and realize that we need to fight the enemy and not our allies

Question; is Trump’s family tree Russian ? I’m trying to figure out Trumps love affair with Putin ?\nCanadians are strong and will pull together as one. When things get tough we step up. We have done this many times when other countries were in need of help, Canadians step up. Now we will step up, and help our country.

Trump has made sure that USA is not credible. We do feel bad for the Americans that did not vote for him but it will only get worse… Trump and Putin are in bed together.

Trump is a traitor working for Putin.\nAmericans need to get their house in order. They have a traitor in the White House.

Canada should invite Trump to a new National Trump Day! Then jail him permanently once he gets off the plane.

Don't be fooled by this wimp my American friends. Trudeau is a weasel and has killed Canada. I'm not a fan of Trump but he still has seen thru this bum and we deserve what we're getting because of his neglect and Woke policies for the last 10 years. he's as corrupt as a politician can get. So please wait til we get a leader in Canada that will get us back to a REAL partner with the US. An election is gonna happen real soon that will put a Prime Minister in place that will address the concerns of both of our countries and get things back to normal.....and it won't be Mark Carney!!!!!

Do you really think that Trump doesn’t understand that he is being “played” by Putin?? Seriously? Trump is working for Putin and gets paid to do this.

HES TOLD HIS RICH BUDDIES INSIDE INFO ABOUT MARKETS SO THEY SELL HIGH THEN WHEN STOCKS TANK TO BUY BACK LOW SO THEY GET DOUBLE MONEY ONCE STOKS EVEN OUT!!!! Would you please REPORT THIS CORRECTLY PLEASE cause Trump IS A CONMAN!!!! WAKE UP??????????

Trudeua trying to get the Americans to hate Trump is reason enough to believe the tariffs will hurt Canada, and not the American people. Lying coward that doesn't care about his own citizens.

Thank you very much Donald Trump is a dictator he's with Putting He is not my president my God is my president Get ready USA you're in for a big one

From the USA: Not everyone here follows a dictator even though he somehow managed to get a second term. Even worse than Trump are the people who still follow him. SORRY Canada...

We agree sir. We apologize for our horrible leader Trump. We are doing our best to get rid of him.

Very proud of our Prime Minister!!! The Trump administration is currently destroying America. Canadians and Americans have been working hand in hand for more than a century and it's so sad to see that a bunch of billionnaires are using lies and manipulation to get their way. I'm also very surprised to see that the Republican politicians are reacting like puppets. Let's hope that truth and common sense will soon prevail in the United States.

Help us find the way to get rid of trump please

Why do people think that Donald Trump and Elon Musk are smart. They aren't smart. They hire smart, desperate people. They just have the money. They're stupid themselves. Trump was a bully all his life and his daddy paid his way through school and Elon grew up a little weasel, nerd getting pushed around by everybody, and now he's going to take it out on all of us.

Any American business thinking about jumping into the Russian market is playing Russian roulette—except every chamber’s loaded. Putin’s already made it clear he’ll jail Americans whenever it suits him, and yet Trump seems determined to push U.S. interests into that trap.\n\nWhich brings me back to the bigger question—what exactly does Putin have on Trump? I get that Trump’s got the moral compass of a reptile hunting for its next meal, but even his own former foreign policy advisors—Bolton, Tillerson, Kelly—have all admitted they can’t quite explain his deference to Putin. I’m not one for conspiracy theories, but damn, at what point do we stop pretending this isn’t deeply suspicious?

For those of you who don’t get a lot of real and unbiased news in Trump’s Greater America…watch these documentaries from Australia and decide for yourself. There is a lot of circumstantial evidence behind Trump stealing both elections. Trump’s actions have become more extreme, as he greatly fears the consequences for ALL of his Criminal actions. Watch ABC Australia’s three part Four Corners Documentary exposing both Trump’s comprehensive and long-standing links with Russia and their cyber-espionage during the elections in the US. Also explains Trump seeking unwarranted control over all levels of law and its’ enforcement. He probably didn’t win this recent election either as the Russians have clearly done a deal with him to put him into power. He is now an (un)official Russian operative and things Putin won’t betray him….but Putin is younger and far better at removing obstacles that stand in his way. Trump may have a convenient heart attack once he’s served his purpose.

Looks like Trumps goal here is to bring Canada to its knees ( Trump is even trying to get Russian Aluminium to replace Canadian Alumininium) so he can make Canada go broke and beg to become the 51st state of the USA

I hate Donald Trump!!! Such a weasel! Can someone please get rid of him

Why do I get the feeling, Trump expected this to happen. Why do I get the feeling we are all falling in a trap.

Trafis = taxes. Trump is rising taxes, causing inflation, recession. Trump is the greatest crook. USA has to stop Trump. Americans are the 1 st victim of trump. He is making himself, musk, zuckerberg and all the mega rich more rich.\nThe normal American will be working slave to the neo nazi trump regime. A convicted crook, cheated on every wife he got, a pirate, a bully without friends. He is a low life. Vance a guy with colored hair and eyeliner, looks all the time like is is being potty trained .\nTrump got no deal with Putin. Putin does not listen to trump. It is a bluff. Trump is as bad as Putin. He is only interested to exploid Ukraine. \nAmericans you have to fight your worst and \n# 1enemy = trump and his boot lickers = neo nazis. The longer you wait, the more american families, veterans, economy, jobs have to suffer. Trup has no respect for Great Britain. He only would have liked to get his hands on the late Queens juwels.

Lets get this straight - the US and Trumps delusions are not the same thing.

Wonderful to hear Canada's response to the bully Trump. President Trudeau response to global issues is measured, articulate and informed compared to the ignorant, bombastic self serving purposes of Donald Duck (AKA Donald Trump/ USA president) rants!!.\n Stand strong Canada, you have leverage (higher exports of power energies) to the US with your natural resources. In Ireland we recognize a huge differential between the morals of the USA versus Canada ( but some times get confused with the accents). I am with you Canada. Every best wish with your endeavors and thank you for supporting the EU.
