How many people grew up in Divorced families with arguments and name calling and all the insults? I’m just wondering because the way our president in America is acting along with JD Vance and all the MAGA politicians they all act like those parents with the constant negativity and verbal abuse that all the crap that they put the American people through!!! How many times has our country gone through anything serious within or outside of our country? I am 62 years old and I can tell you there has been many, but we have never had a president / vice president and all the politicians on one party sit there and act the way these IDIOTS act! I was just thinking about this because of the constant stress I feel on a daily basis with this administration! It is a public disgrace as our trailer trash parents fight in public! Makes you want to run away!! I cannot stand the people responsible for what we are experiencing in our country right now! I blame Trump, Musk and all those American that voted for these idiots!! F” off!!

The only reason Trump set tariffs on Canada is because he would look like a racist if he only did it to Mexico. I have a feeling soon Trump will lift the tariffs on Canada citing that Canada has complied with his requests. He will keep the tariffs on Mexico though.

Trump is a Putins dick sucker, he is doing everything to destroy USA hemegony on world stage. You americans fucked up big time with this choice and you will feel the effects years to come. Nice big ocean doesnt mean shit to terrorists or ballistic missiles.

Trump will go down in history as , THE most damaging so called president US , I feel for any American ,that (did not ) vote for him.

As an American, i found this speech to be clear, factual, and classy. I feel sad that trump et al are not behaving equally. As far as i know, trump has no parallel real activity to reduce fentanyl or cartel activity, much less actually advance economy for Americans and our neighbors.

Well, I feel like there's a pretty good chance mine and thousands of other jobs will hit Ontario hard when they move south of the border. Ontario is about to be hurting really, really bad as Trump comes for all our auto manufacturing jobs.

What an effaminate Marxist punk. Calling President Trump “Donald”. Then telling how much this will hurt America. The population of Canada equals the state of California. Who feels the pinch first?

Oh my God, my heart is absolutely broken in half. I am an American citizen (I am ashamed to even tell anybody that) my brother is a Canadian citizen, and I feel like Trump has put up a wall that will now make it impossible for me to ever see my brother again.\n\n* I believe that Trump is somehow spawn of Satan. He and all his henchmen!

Thank you so much for your wise and words. I’m not an canadian nor american, but I feel just a little better now after all horrível Trump interventions.

I'm from India feel like Trump is like more of business dealer of selfish goals and objectives he's not at all people person to lead such powerful country like usa is at like joker and back steper as well although his make frendship wiy dictators whom along United States fout against just 21 century joker and dictator like a Hitler.?

Donald Trump is a complete buffoon. There are many Americans that feel the same and stand by Canada.

As an American I stand with Canada. Don't let Trump dictate what Canada does, stick it to his ass. He won't be president forever and I feel bad for our next president that person is going have alot to fix and put back in place.

I'm American, I do not support what Trump is doing to our government, and our allies . Thank you Prime Minister of Canada, you must do what you feel us right for your Country.

Trump is a mentally ill psychopath just like 'putin', Canada is a strong and free country for ever. I feel sorry for americans that voted this uneducated low life goon to the white house.

we know you guys dont want this nor does us true Americans want it. trump wants this to pretend like hes a tough guy to make him feel like a man for a split second cause deep down he knows hes a disgusting person.

Sir, I appreciate it, but you ain't gotta explain or apologize that you didn't want this. Our US government has lost its mind. What's worse, all the people that voted for that lunatic were brain washed into thinking this mess is good. I can't feel bad for the ones that are already suffering from the consequences. I always wondered how people fall for cult leaders. I know trump ain't a cult leader cuz he ain't that smart. He's a pedo throwing hissy fits and married to a porn chick, has a self-proclaimed couch screwer assistant, and he's leaning on the help of another idiot benefiting from government money, all the while imploding our government processes. This sucks.

We the people I am so sick of hearing Trump name everyday and I mean everyday. And we know that we should not be friends with a war criminal. We were taught all our lives that no not is above the law. The FBI and the CIA got our back. The military and the police or the best in the world. And no one is above the law. And even though we were not prefect we was taken maybe baby steps but they were steps. Now we have one party who has soul out to Russia. How do you feel about being friends with Putin.? And now the MAGA party does not want to talk to We the people at town meetings. And I believe everything that Trudeau and the Mexico President over anyone and I mean anyone in the MAGA fascist party.

America must now feel that voting for Trump will not make America great again, only lonely. They will soon bitterly regret this selfish path. The free world can also defend itself in this senseless trade war. It's a shame for the decent Americans who will also be affected by this.

It should be said the people who didn’t vote for trump are just as pissed off as the rest of the world. Remember that. Fact is in my opinion America hasn’t embodied the views it was founded on in a very long time and is likely a shell of what it used to be. Corporate greed and shareholders is what runs this country and it disgusts me to my core. Honestly I don’t wanna stay here and the more people I meet as my life has continued the more I feel like these aren’t my people and the more I feel that this place isn’t my home. I’ve no loyalty to my country anymore and I blame the greed and corruption my “people” have elected to vote in to power. It sickens and disgusts me and I am at a loss as to what to do.

First of all, let's be clear, it is TRUMP doing this, NOT America. NOT American citizens! It is unfortunate that FOOLS re-elected him!! Now, we are ALL feeling the stupidity of HIS actions!! America plz, WAKE UP!!!

Trump derangement syndrome blinds you from seeing the dis respect zylynski showed. He triggered Trump when he said that we were going to feel war on our soil although we are shielded by an ocean. He never wanted to do a cease fire. Aka stop the killing now. Today. Than negotiate the securities. Which Trump said would be easier to do. Stop the war. And the part where we are not getting our money back where with the other nations it is a loan. That is probably the underlying reason why the hesitation by zylynski. \nAs far as tradeau. He reminds way to much of newsom…

Who convinced Trump of this? I like him but this trade war against Canada isn’t the way to go, really. I feel Canadians were mistakenly targeted. US needs allies not foes. Proud of Trudeau for the first time. I don’t live in the US but in Canada at the moment, not Canadian either, but I’m very objective in my perception about these occurrences. I hope America makes peace with Canada so strengthen both sides, hmmm.

I'm not American. I grew up hearing lots of hate bout USA cuz the US doesn't exactly have a good rep in foreign policies - always bullying other nations, starting wars for oil etc. but I've always preferred USA not just for the world order it brings, it allows different voices, criticism & scolding towards its leaders compared to China, Russia & North Korea. \n\nin the US, you can talk bad bout politicians in power, or probably make movies bout these kind of things like US invading other countries for oil, or testing out some cruel AI military robots on humans (movie name: Monsters of Man), & you won't be persecuted. but after looking at a bunch of executive orders Trump has signed, the way he (& JD Vance) treated Zelenski & Canada, I don't know if I still feel the same bout USA anymore.\n\nif USA doesn't wanna continue spending on Ukraine, perhaps USA shouldn't have sweet talked Ukraine into denuclearization thru the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. that's what you get for mendling with other countries' affairs. by stopping US aid & wanting a new mineral deal, Trump's refusing to follow the Memorandum (I added this sentence thru edit as I can't reply to the comment below).\n\nunderstandably, US & UK don't need to deploy troops in Ukraine as the security assurance in the memorandum wasn't clearly defined, but it also didn't mention that Ukraine should pay the US back financially, nor any mineral concessions. \n\nTrump always wanting a purely 1 sided deal will only isolate USA from more allies.

@robertedward7023 \n\nServing the country doesn’t mean that you’re right. President Trump was not bullying Zelensky but Zelensky was disrespectful to our President. “You have nice oceans so you don’t feel it now but in the future you will feel it “ is what Zelenskyy stated. How can you speak against your President who has done nothing but look out for Americans to defend someone who would be so disrespectful to our country. Zelensky also stated that Americans will bleed for his country. Why would anyone defend this blatant hatred. President Trump has tried to give Zelensky what he needs not what he wants. All of these countries gather together to rally against POTUS because he won’t allow them to financially enslave Americans and use America as a personal piggy bank. Every single American who loves this country should have President Trumps back.

I have this feeling a lot of people will stop working for Trump very soon they will running away from him

This is so heart breaking, I was actually hopeful that Trump would change things for the better but it feels like we’re in a downward spiral, pray for the US ??❤️

Trump & his administration, including Musk, are TRAITORS!! Please know that half of American voters did NOT vote for this traitor. We, non-Trump Americans, are NOT in agreement with this traitor. We stand with Canada & our other allies! “Hate” is not near a strong enough word to describe how we feel about these traitors’ actions!!!

Feel for the American people and Canadian people only one man has done this yes trump ,love from the uk ??

Inflation is to the roof, Make food and housing affordable, please people just help impeach him, he is golfing while the american people are struggling everyday.... He is just trying to pass stupid laws that keep getting blocked by courts, Come on Trump supporters try helping fix it by calling your local office and impeach him, I bet anyone else is better than Trump, we know the country needs changes but we are still the biggest economy of the world the richest country, Why do we have to feel like is normal not to have affordable food and housing?? The basics of life... All the immigrants are gone, They even left by their own will, and Some Americans left to other countries, Mexico, Europe, Asia..... What do you guys want?? Having an empty country once was the biggest economy of the world?? Is just crazy even a blind person can see he is destroying the whole country..... He is not even a good business person we all know he didn't payed taxes, he went bankrupt so many times he knows how to scam people, Saying the USA government doesn't work because he feels like it, Just travel people so you can see the difference between usa government and other governments around the world........

the fight against trump begins .. thanks trudeau...he will not stay president is my feeling..better so

My feeling is that trump has been compromised by putin! \n\nMaybe was a KGB asset in the 80s or 90s!

People power always wins in the end.I feel the true American people will turn on trump and put an end to all this nonsense.as a law abiding English man I defend our friends In Canada.

Trump will be history in a short time but the havoc he has wrought will be felt for decades. Most of all, Republicans who supported him will feel the isolation they desire and the cold wind of the world's contempt years after he has rotted in the ground.

As Americans, I feel sad and embarrassed, as some of us get blindsided by the idiot/stupid/crook/traitor Dumb Trump as president, we are sorry to all our allies. some of us still has moral and integrity. sorry

Stand up Canada! It's about time! We been selling our future and sovereignty to the US since WW2 thinking they are our friend forever. WRONG! Respect only comes from threat and that is why Trump is respecting Russia and China more than us. Stop buying their shit and let's find some new business partner, be it europe or china, let's be competitive again and let them see how it feels like with a non secure backyard

Now this is what a leader should be, highly respected, Trump and his goons will fall don't worry, as I've been saying for a month, emperor musk, Darth Trump and the galactic Empire will fall soon.\nDarth Trump will lose power within 6 months and I feel emperor musk will be arrested with the galactic Empire losing more than they bargained for.

Donald Trump is a pathological, malevolent narcissist. That's all there is to him. He has successfully gaslighted the USA and has fanbases around the world. Flying monkeys around the globe feel empowered by just waving his flag. This will become much, much worse. May god be with us.

Trump , vance and Musk , are not very smart , \nby open trade wars , only the people get hurt on both sides , \nand if USA go after europ then usa will loose even more , \nUsa need us as much as we need them , and Trump \nshould start thinking , becosue americans are loosing power as well \nmust of in europe dont see USA as western leadership anymore , \nthat eneded when people of USA was stupid enough to vote for trump and \nvance , we warned USA people this would happent and still they voted trump \nand now you want us to stand with you ,,,, honestly we have a saying that goes like this \nyou gonna lay in the bed you made , and if you complain about you better redue you bed ! \nSo RNC votes , do you feel the pain the trump a, vance and musk are doing to you , \nif you do then time to remove the idiots from power ! \nand btw , you should rename RNC to RNCC ( Real Northamerica Criminal Consortium)

The only reason Trump won the first time was because he was up against a woman and America can't have that lol and he won again against another woman ??I'm glad he won but feel he wouldn't have won if he went up against other men of this country

You never know what is going on behind the curtains! \nMaybe this is all set up by Trump and Trudeau to bring him up again because people started to hate Justin Trudeau! \nJust like the way Trump hired someone to shoot him to his ear to push people to feel bad for him, love and respect him and vote for him after that!!! And... Unfortunately it worked perfectly !\nLet's see what will happen to Justin Trudeau after all of these go away and everything goes back to normal again \nI really don't see any signs of stress on Justin Trudeau's face and skin at all. \nHe is fresh, shiny and happy inside. \nDo you remember his appearance during the pandemic?

Thank you Canada. Maybe feeling Trump's policies directly will get into the heads of the selfish MAGA Americans and shake them free from their cult. Sadly, the welfare of their fellow Americans wasn't enough to vote for democracy, and now they will have to personally feel the pain. We, the defenders of democracy, will feel it too, but it's necessary to shake some sense into these idiots. This is years of Russian propaganda coming to fruition. Sorry Canada, I have voted against this, I have written and called my representatives, I have written and called politicians across the states begging them to stand up for us. I have gone to protests, I have done everything I can do while still remaining peaceful. Hopefully your country's justified retaliation can prevent the inevitable next step.\n\n-American progressive, USMC veteran, ally to Canada, Ukraine, and Europe.

Dual US Canadian citizen writing in with mixed feelings…. Pride in Canada and dismay and horror at what’s happening in the US. My heart is breaking over what tRump has done to all of us. ????

Little Trump is not a president nor is he a businessman. He’s a scared little rat a draft dodger and think America if he was afraid to fight in the war then what makes us think that he would protect us now he’s a scared rat. He’s afraid of his own shadow. The family kids and the grandchildren are the ones that are going to feel the damage he will do to this country in four years. I feel so sorry for our men and women in the military now and our veterans are taking a pounding very sad . He’s only doing it to benefit for his own greed. Very sad human being. He’s miserable he’s depressed. You can see it in his face. He was a piece of shit to the American people before he ever even thought of being a president he owes contractors millions of dollars through his life no wonder he has a bull’s-eye on his back and they say he can’t sleep at night well, I wonder why he fucked the American people and he will keep fucking American people nobody will stop him He will keep fucking us until he’s done. And after all that damage that he will do to this country, in the four years it will be so damaged. It will never heal.

While I didn't vote for Trump... The idea that this will hit Trump voters almost makes the financial suffering I may have to endure worth it. They will finally feel the consequences of their stupid choices on a personal level. This is the only thing that will speak to them. Thank you Justin Trudeau. I am not looking forward to this personally. But it's important that we as a nation face the consequences of our actions.

? I feel so much sadness for humans today. Sending love from Canada to everyone around the world.❤ Trump should be in jail, locked up and never let out.

Donald Trump claims to be a Christian but what he is doing to other countries and his own country by firing people from government jobs is totally against God God gives life he don't take it and he would never have sent people to the streets just because some politicians created a job for the people this is going to cause people to lose their homes vehicles and their livelihood it is totally evil. And then placing these tariffs on other countries is no less than say I want your country he wants Canada he wants Panama, he wants Ukraine's lithium. And he wants to take it all and he is wrong in that because he is affecting people's lives and God Almighty will not put up with Donald Trump giving into the spoiled brat Elon Musk and his dictatorship attitude. Both Elan and Trump have no heart for the poor or the hardship they have placed on these people but God Almighty has a heart for the people who have lost their jobs and their livelihood because of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. In the book of Isaiah God said to the people that were coming against Israel, you have pissed on a wall. And everybody knows that when you piss on a wall it's going to come back on you and that's exactly what's happened. They didn't do it to the people that lost their jobs they did it to God Almighty who loves all people and wants them to have their wages. Maybe Elon Musk knows everything about technology and space craft, but the man ain't got a lick a common sense he has exactly zero wisdom when making decisions. But his greatest lack as he has no heart for the people who are going to be disrupted by losing their jobs he doesn't feel a thing he has no heart he needs to read the Bible because that's where your heart gets developed and you know right from wrong. And you know what God approves of and what he doesn't, and I'm telling you right now God Almighty does not approve of what Donald Trump and Elon Musk are doing. I voted for him, and now I am ashamed that I voted for him because he never mentioned he was going to do all this horrible horror to the very American people that voted for him. Now I pray for God's divine intervention because what he's doing to the American people and to other countries is not right

The only thing I think I'd disagree with here is Trudeau calling Trump a smart man. I know he's trying to appeal to his vanity, but it still feels icky.

Trump and musk dont care because they dont feel the pain at the pump or grocery store. It hurts the people that live paycheck to paycheck that have mortgages and rent. So, trump and musk, who are billionairs, dont care

It seems that Trump wants to destroy Western society at record speed. He feels closer to dictators and oligarchs than to our democracies. I believe he hates democracy and feels more comfortable siding with murderers and dictators. If no one stops him, this man could be responsible for the destruction of Europe, Canada, and even his own country.
