Canada! It may seem like it but we are not all ?!!!\nBullies are bullies until someone slaps the ? out of them. Your response is motivational to many who can’t believe the lunatics are running the asylum.

As an American I can't believe that I'm supposed to accept what Trump is doing!

LOL .. those people like this clown don’t care about his own people, he is pro-war, known for corruption feeding his own greed .. Unbelievable people support and believe his bs ??

I support Trump and I support MAGA. However a president needs to keep his word and Trump appears to have broken his word here. He asked Canada to reign in illegal immigration to the US and Canada complied. He said do something about fetanyl and Canada did. Trump said the tariff's were because Canada was not acting on these but now they have and we imposed the tariff's anyway. We look like liars and cheats. \nEven with Mexico we threatened tariffs if they didn't help with crackdown on illegal immigration, fetanyl, and drug cartels. Mexico complied and is also helping us. And we still slapped tariffs on them. We lied to Mexico too. \nAnd now we want everyone to trust us to negotiate a peaceful end to the Ukraine war with Trump threatening more sanctions on China and the EU. What the heck should they trust us and believe us after what we just did. \nWhen it comes to defining your character your willingness to keep your word overrules absolutely everything else. Our president gave his word that if these countries took certain actions there would be no tariffs. They did and now he slapped them both in the face with sanctions anyway. He broke his word. This is a dishonorable action. I hope it does not escalate from there. \nIf it was about promoting or building domestic industries, I think the Canadians could have helped us with that but now.... good luck now that bridge has been burned.

CNN ,you didn't mention the real real that Trudeau believes the Trump administration has put terrifs is that they want to cripple the Canadian economy to be able to annex Canada as a 51st state!!!

I do not believe you can change the publics opinion of zelenskyy that he invaded the Ukraine and started the war with Russia.

I genuinely believe that Trump is a paid Russian asset

I have lived in Canada for almost 50 years.. The United States of America has been our closest neighbour and friend ever since I came here.. \nLong before I came here Canada and the US were partners… \nWe relied on each other, we supported each other and we profited from each other..\nLet me make it perfectly clear I consider myself Canadian and I love the Americans like they were my own brothers and sisters.. \nAlso let it be known that our government does not speak for the citizens of this country… \nWe are being forced by the government to follow the rules. And now our government wants the American people to believe that all Canadians are against them. \nThat couldn’t be any further from the truth. \nI can’t say every single Canadian has respect for the Americans, but I myself respect America and honour Canada.. \nAs a true Canadian, we stand on guard for both countries.. God bless America…

I believe he is mentally ill, and nobody is calling it out.

The US and Canada have always been allies. I can't believe this is happening.

Is all MEGA MAGGOTS fault to place America in those conditions. They’re the ones at fault for voting and believing a dictator, criminal, Putin puppet, felon. Now everyone will be eating S****?????? IMPEACH TRUMP!!!

What a narcissist...bad actor...don't believe a word this puppet says...

Ya know, it’s honestly comical that some many people have these knee jerk responses to anything they deem “negative” STRICTLY for the fact that it came from Trump, and rather know TRULY ABSOLUTELY NOTHING behind the reason why these “negative” things are said or done in the first place… I ASSURE YOU 99% of the people complaining about this Canada tariff don’t know that it’s simply to (essentially) force Canada to agree to ramp up their border DEA enforcement/presence to help cut down on the illegal drug trade (primarily fentanyl) coming into America! If more of these people complaining knew this reasoning behind it, I think that would quite honestly shut a lot of them up! And to be completely honest with you, that failure falls on NO ONE MORE THAN THE JADED MEDIA!! I truly believe THAT is hands down the biggest failure in our nation currently!! The media is HANDS DOWN our biggest enemy so far this presidential term!

And most Americans are just sleeping on it and believe it will make America great again. Donald Thump is trying to take USA as his own. He will rewrite the constitution to allow him to stay in power for many many years just like Putin and Xi Jipeng. He know well once he step down. He will be jailed due to his criminal cahrges. So he will stay in power for as long as he want now

Two gulf wars, Afghanistan, Cuba, Korea, Vietnam, yeah Putin is the only dictator. Did anyone ask what the Iraq people think about the allies.\nIts ironic how everyone with a tongue in the West believes Putin is the ONLY dictator. Really, all of you, pick up a book and learn some elementary military history.

I don't think continuing to do what hasn't worked in the past is going to fix the future... It's time for change.\n \nThe US has been paying the world for too long, and now it's time for others to pay their share. I don't blame them for being upset, but I don't believe Trudeau's perspective is all inclusive of reality.\n\nAmerica should come first to Americans.

This guy is a clown.. Canada doesn't believe a thing he says.. 100% acting.. if you fall for it you voted for Kamala

An am American… this is so sad :/ I can’t believe we are in THIS timeline….

I really do believe that Americans have started to mate with vegetables, what a bunch of half wits.

Canada, the American people don't want this and a lot of Trump supporters didn't want this either. I'm sorry that y'all too have to suffer and deal with a man that doesn't lead your country. Believe me I would swap with y'all tomorrow. \n\nIt's amazing how Canada came up with how many billions for border patrol but we can't get Congress to pass a bill. President Biden tried to get a bill through Congress within his first 100 days and they wouldn't pass it then either. We have scanners sitting at the Mexican Border that will detect Fentanyl but Congress would approve using them either. Everyone needs to find out how their Representative voted on that bill and make sure they are not in office next time. \n\nI don't know how this man got elected but I feel like Musk and Starlink helped him win. I just heard that Starlink is what was used to send the results in the swing states. Musk told someone an hour before polls closed that Trump was the winner, with his evil laugh and let's not forget Trump telling his supporters that they didn't need to vote cause he will win without them. That's fishy. \n\n\nY'all what do we do if he won't leave office? What do we do then? I know he just got in the White House but it's never too early to have a plan to get him out. They worked on Project 2025 for 4 years and now it's all falling into place. OMG! What are we going to do?

I always believe that the USA are friends of nobody: here’s the proof.

I always knew trump was bad but I just cannot believe how much damage he has done.

When less than 1% of fentanyl comes into the USA from Canada, who can believe that the tariffs are due to fentanyl? It’s ridiculous

What's it about? It's about money. It's about a gangster family in the Whitehouse, and oligarchs in the administration, all trying to make as much money as possible. There's no other explanation possible. That's the only explanation that comes close to making any sense. Now more than ever, even if these tariffs are short-lived, Canada needs to move away from U.S. trade. This is necessary for the long term survival and prosperity of Canada. We need to make every effort to increase trade with the pacific rim, Europe and South America. There may be some short-term pain, but it has to happen. Given the events of the last few years in the U.S., Canadians have to realize that things can get even worse, and will likely never be the same. There is very little reason to believe that the ties Canada has had with the U.S. will ever be what they were, or indeed any reason to believe that that is even desirable now.

Hard to believe you all trust this guy. Canada is shitting itself right now.

We will not back down ha your a joke, you haven’t done anything for the Canadians you have put us in the ground. You haven’t fought for are country in years. Sorry but I don’t believe you, never have and never will. You don’t care about us Canadians to you we are a number.

Canada’s tariffs has almost no affect on the US. Maybe Canada should shouldn’t be aligning with China and should pay their share of things like defense. You people will believe anything told to you by CNN. You people will put Canada and Mexico before America.

You all are brainwashed… How easy we forget the forced vaccine mandates, the intrusion of personal bank accounts, suppression of real scientific research, liberty and free speech…should I go on?—And Yes Trump isn’t perfect, but I rather deal with a part-time egotistic than live under psychopaths who force binary dogmas and believe Men can have babies…

He's not appeasing putin. He's trying to stop people from dying. Respecting the agreement to not put nato in the Ukraine, is basically living up to your word. The borders go back to where they were at 2014. I believe that's a fair deal and will stop 2,200 people from dying every single day. You guys are praising this crap Zolenesky spews... while everybody in the Ukraine has lost their sons. And now they are grabbing old men off the street literally while walking their dog and making them soldiers.

I believe you, Mr. TRUDEAU. We Americans who DO NOT SUPPORT our Administration's policies are crying and angry to see our country falling apart and the citizens who need the most help, are concerned about our welfare. ???? God help us all.

The orange clown still does not understand how Tariffs work. It is evident he thinks it's a tax and when he sees the numbers in terms of government revenue accredited to tariffs, he ignorantly believes the country is making money. His understanding so simple he thinks he has raised GDP and is making America great again when in fact he is single handedly and in the face of universal opposition destroying the economy and causing grievous hardship to millions of Americans. Apparent friend to our worst enemies and himself the biggest enemy of the people.

I am not a fan of Justin Trudeau… but my goodness I am so proud of him right now. And I LOVE how he referred to Herr Trump as just plain old Donald — zero formality and respect. I am a firm believer in you get what you give. ❤️??

People voted believing that Trump will create a better economy for the American people but surprise surprise that guy will starve us to death.

I was born and live in the US and trust me, there are many people including me who not only didn't vote for Trump, but can't believe his ridiculous rhetoric and actions. I stand with Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine.

Great speech, but until it hurts them, they don’t believe. ?

Canada about to kick\nItself in the balls, eh! \n\nHard to believe anyone is listening to anything this horrible, little wannabe tyrant, says. \n\nAfter what the Canadian government did to its people when they resisted it, which was a bloody disgrace. He’s in no position to act like a victim.

Ask if Alberta believes Trudeau is for them like Trump is for the USA. Ask the truckers if they believe this speech.

I am a American and I am moving to CANADA I LOVE TORONTO. Trump and his administration is ridiculous I can't believe this shit.

Justin Trudeau is ten times the leader that idiot tRump could ever hope to be.\nI can't believe there are still some Americans that support tRump. America has gone to hell.

Dear Canadian friends...I am a young widow raising six sons. I hate Trump, Vance, and Elon, plus many more MAGA freaks. I have always been so proud of our common boarder...the biggest in the world. I am shitting in my pants. We love you guys, please believe me. ❤❤

What i dont underatand is how i read so many angry posts like these on every news networks yet, how the hell did Donald Trump get elected???!! Or do we have so many gullible people in America who believed his lies and are now regretting voting for him?!

Canada, I hope Trump reconsiders this tariffs war. I have respected and enjoyed the friendly neighbors we've had in Canada. I am a North Carolinian. I support my great President, Donald Trump and he is doing great things that our nation truly needed. We are cleaning the swamp at Washington our government must stop all the spending and account for every tax dollar they spend. I believe Trump will return and reconsider this tariff put on our closest alia Canada. I pray that he does sooner then later.

Border in Canada is not secure. More than 1% comes through our border.\n\nThe 1.4 billion TALK of border bs, is sll talk! Nothing has been passed! Just talk. They've fine nothing because Trudeau suspended parliament do he wont lose an election.\n\nNone of the stuff he spoke of is implemented, NOTHING!\n\nDrop in seizures lol so you missed it before, but now you're missing more! Lol it's absurd. He doesn't protect us, he allows illegal guns in our cities, while banning legal firearms we use to protect ourself, banned!! From LAW ABIDING CITIZENS!!!\n\nTRUDEAU IS NOT OUR LEADER, HES A TREASONOUS POS!\n\nMore idiots, leading us into wars that cannot be won! Fk off Trudeau, get back to work!\n\nElection NOW!!! YOU LYIMG POS. Stand up for Canadians lol like the frozen bank accounts of truck drivers who rejected your illegal UNSCIENTIFIC MANDATES!! \n\nLIE LIE LIE, LIE ENOUGH, I GUESS HE BELIEVES HIS OWN BS!!

As an American that did not nor never would vote for trump....there is no making sense out of his idiocy. He has made us less safe in the world, he has humiliated America. I cannot believe this is happening in my country, I'm so sad and sorry for the chaos he and the Republicans are causing.

Brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for being decent PM Trudeau. Americans love Canadians too. Trust and believe it..

I believe Americans made a HUGE Mistakes voting for Trump and Vance.

I'll tell you what this is about. I'll tell you why the orange Jesus is attacking friends instead of enemies. I will let you know why Trump has become the largest Putin bootlicker. It is because I believe Putin who is one of the most dangerous political figures in Europe in the last 200 years, who is a former KGB agent and he was a very good one, has dug up some much much much much much much much dirty dirt on the most despicable disrespectful immoral entitled billionaire moron. Probably the same kind of dirt why the Epstein files were mostly redacted. I believe the orange orang spent some very good times in Russia in the past, good times that should never come out in the light of day, some services that were probably at a discount, while some hidden cameras and microphones were collecting that very dirty dirt and the brand on those cameras and microphones was a KGB logo. This is why I think Mr thinnest tope in the world is acting as the Russians boyfriend.

Born in Europe, brought up and trained into my profession as a researcher, in France, in the UK, in the Middle East, in Africa, and having been a permanent resident of the USA for almost 25 years, I can state that I agree 100 with what Trudeau stated, with the exception of one little detail If Donald Trump is as Mr. Trudeau suggests, an intelligent man, than he is simply detesting all Americans... and if is able to prove me wrong than one has to accept that Mr. Trudeau is wrong in believing Mr Trump to be an intelligent man, because even a ten-year-old is understanding that this tariff war is truly stupid and will not only damage the economy but will further deplete the coffers of businesses that are essential to world growth.

I truly believe that Trump was so incensed about losing the second term, and knowing that this is his last term, he's intentionally sending America into a recession. It's out of spite. With Trump, it's always out of spite. Think about it. Jan 6. Cutting federal employees to the extent that American families suffer. Medicare/Medicaid, Consumer financial Protection, Department of Defence, Department of Education, the FAA, and it continues. Nobody can be that dumb.

Trump is playing with fire (PUTIN) and will get burned. That's the word of God in the Bible he claims to believe....so be it....but very sad for the Americans who did not vote for this garbage!
