Bravo Canada. Thankyou for being great neighbors. Sorry that sione Americans are ignorant racists and voted gor a russian asset.

Trump is (clinically) a malignant narcissis. Hi personality needs to be fed by a constant flow of accolades from his chosen lackeys. He is so easily played by people whispering in his ear that he is being slighted (Zelensky and Trudeau, even if it is imaginary. It is ridiculous that America has allowed this to come about by their majority of incredibly ignorant voting populace. Starmer showed how to handle Trump. Grovelling and obsequious flattery. Noting else. We are dealing with a President of the USA who has a low IQ even lower EQ (think of a vindictive 10 year old). He has sly animal cunning for sure but that's it. We have 4 years of this moron, God knows what damage he can cause. The thing that motivates him ? Challenges, aspirational acts of benevolence ? Don't be silly tuckers and lovers, it's lovely money, as much as is endlessly possible. Is that the American dream? Is that what makes this English speaking nation tick. Looks very much like it.

The whole world watching each and everyone that how the excellent leadership that not only lead its country very well and also leads other countries with compassion, rational and pragmatic though, serious engagements for peace process to deal with conflicts, violence and war but the current leadership seems determined to push long established traditions of honesty, integrity, transparency, rationality, pragmatism and even common sense in deep crisis with unlimited stupidity, ignorance, violent leadership, rude language and flouting all long established rules of diplomacy thrown away overnight and ridiculing even global leaders who command great respect from international community and at the same time bluntly taking side with all dictators of the world and supporting, promoting, patronising violence, war, mass murder at the cost of priceless human lives! Horrible! The ghosts of Hitler return back in the largest democracies of the world!

Trump is a business man and very ignorant about politics

I have a hunch, that the best tactic for Trump havoc is just ignore it. If anyone engages he brings even more chaos.

Canadians are not anti-American. But we take great offense when our sovereign nation is dismissed as just another U.S. state, ignoring our 150+ years of history and the sacrifices of our soldiers who fought on the frontlines—often before the U.S.—in WWI and WWII. After 9/11, we stood by America, fighting and dying alongside you in Afghanistan, just as we did in Normandy. Canada has been the U.S.'s closest ally for the last 70 years, and the idea of a fentanyl border crisis (until recently) is simply misleading.\n\nIf the roles were reversed, would you boo at a hockey game? We still ❤ America!

I agree with every word! \nMy respect for the ones that has the guts to say it like it is!! \nThinking a bit further: I hope this has no consequences.\n\nAn unpredictable narcististic fool that call the shots makes no better choices for anyone but himself (so he thinks)\nIf the best way to silence a bully is too ignore him, he'll never shut up, 'cause it's not possible.\nMy God, does he ever just shut the f*ck up...\nHe doesn't deserve any attention, negatif nor positive \nUnfortunatly that's not an option. \nWhen we can't ignore him, is it wise to react by telling him that he's stupid? He likes being called out. Give him something to react so he has an excuse to do more stupid things. As narcististic as he is, he will (logicaly/probably/likely) react as a stupid bully....so we're feeding him. Any attention feeds the bully. \nHe seemes to love the negatif, but there's nothing positive to say.\nShould we than speak anything at all?\nNow is the time for the smartest diplomats to come together \nGood Luck everybody ?

Donald does not, nor has ever, understood politics or geo-politics. He approaches things as 'business deals' amongst businesses but Countries are not businesses. I have no doubt he is surrounded by people that have known these tariffs are a bad idea but are more interested in keeping their jobs than speaking up with knowledge and experience. Donald is a bully and you have 2 choices. Accept or take the gloves off. Donald is a twice impeached, convicted criminal. I hope the 150+ million that voted for him never complain about the hardships that are on the way. Donald has been authentic from day 1 of his first campaign. He's egotistic, narcissistic, arrogant, insecure, ignorant. I no longer buy American products nor will I set foot in country where half the population has no problem with his lack of empathy, lack of ethics, lack of morality. He isn't the problem so much as he has REVEALED a problem in American society.

Trudeau can shove his talk to Americans! We aren’t idiots that he appears to treat Canadians as! \nTrudeau is in the hands of China! It is so obvious he looks completely pathetic! We know that only 1% of shipping containers coming into Canada are screened! Think you might want to check those “Containers” Justin! If there’s one thing that Americans have learned, “Liberals Lie”! They do it constantly! Oh and Justine, that’s “President Trump” to you, you pos! \nAt no time has Trump kissed up to Putin! You have to talk to both Parties when trying for peace! You can’t ignore one side in a war! Trudeau is a corrupt lying creep! Are you still wearing the friendship Bracelets from Brittany Spears Concert?! Soon you will be forgotten among Canadians and the rest of the World!

Go Canada ?? GO\n\nCan’t wait to see all those MAGA tears ? \n\nThis is what stupid, racist, misogynistic, ignorant Amerikkkkans voted for\n\nLet the games begin ?

As an American, I never asked for this, i voted against trump, and there isn't much i can do about it because im disabled and half the country is filled with ignorant idiots.

Not even the Canadians care what this clown says. They absolutely HATE him. Furthermore, Canada already taxes US goods at upwards of 350% in some cases. The time for taking advantage of America is over. EVERY American should be happy about that. The people in these comments supporting this tool are ignorant fools.

Please ? understand that trumps policies don’t speak for US citizens. We are praying for change! Let God help us all . Let Peace be our Truth Now. He has lost his way , please ignore his poor choices.

I'm an American from Texas. I'm just so UPSET that TRUMP was voted in! How is that possible? It's hard to think that the American people are so ignorant! Buy into CHUMP TRUMPS BULL! He is an IMPOSTER, A FAKE!

I know that most everyone I know thinks Trump is the complete worst thing to happen to the US ever. His narcissistic and delusional actions are ruining our country and making the US a terrible place to live right now. We are a laughing stock because of him. I hope the congress can get him, JD and Musk sentenced to jail for all the constitutional laws and rights they have broken and ignored. Thank you for speaking to the Orange Smurf directly.

I’m so sick of my country right now.. more so the citizens who are ignoring things like this and believe any lie Trump, Vance, or Elon says

The fact that this clown thinks we give a sh is hysterical. So it’s ok for Canada to pay 1.3% gdp towards nato while we pay 60% and put ourselves in debt to the tune of one trillion dollars a year TO PROTECT THEM. They tariff us double or triple what we charge them but that’s supposed to be fine. Canada is a government that doesn’t give af about this country or the clueless people in this thread. Don’t believe me just do the research and see what they’ve been charging us all over Europe. Do some research and stop being ignorant about this topic. Canada is 1,3 % of our gdp. We are 60% of theirs. Do the math.

Rump is a fat mendacious idiot and MAGA a massive movement of idiocy ignorance and cowardice - embarrassment . \n\nWe are sorry Canada

What an embarrassment to Canada. Trudeau had 1 job to do: Stop the smuggling of drugs to the states from our border. Instead, he's ignored this and thinks he is justified in talking tough. What a disgrace. We deserve the tariffs for voting in Trudeau.

Trump doesn't care about us!! He is a hateful, ignorant, weak, filthy, coward. I apologize to all of our alias. Please know that not all Americans are like TRUMP. With all my heart, I'm sorry.

A lot of ignorant comments here who have no idea what a bum and narcissist Trudeau is.

It's sad the MAGARATs are too stupid and ignorant to realize the tariffs would hurt them the most. Their poor and uneducated souls soon will be homeless by supporting a convicted conman.

The leader of the world needs to get together to put this ignorant, narcissist Donald Dock on his place.

Donald Trump is living proof of how ignorant the American people are!

Trudeau is 10X the man and leader than Trump. The contrast is real. Canada we stand with you against this moron as he drags the US into an economic freefall which could very easily result in millions of lost jobs, increased cost of goods - including gas, market items, cars, lumber and more. A tariff is a tax on Americans. Trump is planning on using those tariff dollars to help offset the actual tax cut for the billionaires. Tuck Frump. Resist the ignorant fool.

Smart Americans don’t want this either. We have the most uneducated, ignorant, dumbest man in office

All MAGA are TRAITORS. So sickened by the way our allies are being treated. tRump is owned by Russia and his followers are to stupid and ignorant to see it.

I think Trudeau might be a Hero for Americans. In our darkest hour, we need a Hero now more than ever. Thank you for standing up to the ignorant dictator wannabe that the lowest denominator of Americans… racist, uneducated and wealthy pigs elected him. \nWe wish you were our leader too. \nDecent hardworking reasonably intelligent Americans Thank You and we are terrified for our future and our beloved country. God Save America.

All of us who are sane Americans are absolutely sickened by the way FOTUS (F for FELON) is treating our allies. I am pissed off and I’m embarrassed that he was voted in. I am proud to say I have NEVER supported or voted for that ignorant fool! Hopefully, we can get rid of him soon and begin to repair our relationships with our allies and begin to rebuild our reputation in the world.

The world is going to going to come to oppose your ignorant fascist government. Nothing good comes from fascism.

It is really pretty normal for most of europeans to speak at least 3 langauges in mi case I speak and understand almost everything in english, french, portuguese, italian, spanish and a lot of german.\nTrump is really an idiot and ignorant because he just speak english and horrible!!\nHe sounds like a drunk person.

First, the orange criminal is not a “very smart” man. At best he has, perhaps, average intelligence, but worst, he is dangerously ignorant of history and facts (how many other Americans over forty don’t know the significance of Pearl Harbor?). Sadly, for the U.S. and the entire world, Americans have seen fit to place a person with a severe case of Dunning-Kruger into the White House – again – they didn’t learn the first time.\n\nSecond, on this fentanyl thing. Are the vast majority of Americans children? The best way to keep them from becoming addicted or killing themselves with the stuff is to keep it from them? Where is the self-control…the ability of people to tell themselves no? The easiest way to kill any business is to starve it of customers.

Specific to one American - Donald.\nSo now he can't duck but respond with intelligence and not ignorance.

WELL DONE RACIST IGNORANT REDNECKS??

Bye bye Trudeau ....what about the money exchanges.... Should be 35 % & let's have a normal government that can't be manipulated by A Trudeau character - who shuts the government down then continues to blah blah blah ...anybody could do what he is saying ....... Anybody !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quit being a worshipper of a men & make out country STRONG....Make deals with other countries & ignore the States for now ...shut them out .\n.quit yapping about them , just move on and ahead ....don't be yappy ...useless ....BE PROGRESSIVE...DO ... gonna do something, don't talk just Blank

SMH with this Govt in the US what are we doing as a country because of ignorance and wanting power over people and wanting to dismantle races etc we are making a mockery GREED gets us nowhere don’t get me wrong some things I can agree with but its the manner of it being done. Change was supposed to come for the better of ALL for OUR COUNTRY! God sees everything and has ALL POWER we are making this our last days. GOD CREATED US ALL TO PRESERVE WHAT HE CREATED NOT WHAT MAN WANTS TO CREATE YOU ARE DESTROYING THIS EARTH! I am not for anyone’s slick mouth so be mindful of your mouth!!

TRUMP YOU'RE THE WORST PRESIDENT OF USA ?? YOU'RE DIVIDING OUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY and other COUNTRIES WITH YOUR IGNORANTS DESICIONS YOU SHOULD WORK TOGETHER SPECIALTY WITH CANADA ?? AND MEXICO ?? BUT YOU'RE LIKE A DICTATOR WITH YOUR IGNORANT DESICIONS

Don't judge us for this clowns ignorance. 70% Americans don't except this clown as our president!!!

Who benefits from this? him! he gets to blame Canada when American prices go up and his supporters will not need or want to hear the truth, they'll be willfully ignorant. If he genuinly admires Putin he'd love nothing more than a Belarus of his own to compare notes with at their little bromance dates! Sad thing is im not trying to make any kind of joke, i really believe he would love that\n\nI'm in UK. Stay strong Canada we love you. Swapping OUT any US products i Possibly can (family too). Also going to look for and swap IN any Canadian produts we can \n\ni cant find emoji flag on this keyboard but imagine Many Canadian flags, hearts a Welsh flag a Union Jack and even more Canadian

This Chrump and his MAGAt GOPs are so corrupt, and the ignorant Americans allow it

I am completely outraged. I am disgusted beyond comprehension with the gutless Republican party for not standing up to trump. Canada has traditionally been our steadfast Ally and closest Trading partner. Trump is a walking, talking, dumpster fire, and must be removed from office as soon as humanly possible. How this profoundly disturbed, mentally ill excuse for a human being ever got elected to the highest office in the land is utterly beyond me. This is where MAGA ignorance, gullibility, and abysmal stupidity has gotten us. The rest of us here in the United States are just horrified by the destructive chaos Trump is unleashing on this country and the rest of the world. Our profound apologies to Canada

Well, that is what some ignorant Americans voted for! Now, all the people that live in USA have to face the consequences!

Trump needs to go!! Americans needs to stand up and impeach trump, he’s a liar, has no idea of what he’s talking about and obviously cares only for himself and is going to ruin our country!! How can the American people be so stupid!! \nNo one can trust trump and his cronies!! \nHe will not stop, he’s a dictator, ignorant Man!!

Vladimir putin a lying, murderous dictator. This so far from reality but sadly people remain ignorant for some reason. Being dumb and ignorant and proud of it

This is what an actual leader sounds like and behaves. And I as a US citizen stand by this man, his words and his country's response to our hot mess of a government. We're going to suffer, but at this point I think we deserve every bit of it because our willful ignorance has thrown the entire planet into a tailspin of disaster. My genuine hope is that every single other democratic country turn its back on us immediately. Let the empire fall once and for all.

All narcissists are easy to fool with flattery and putin knows that! Trump has never been smart, only bitter and evil and steppefbon whomever he jad to! Hiw voters are ignorant

Trump has dementia, is a delusional, fascist, narcissistic, ignorant, coward, sexual predator tool of Putin and Musk.

Just remember world not all of us voted for Trump. Just the ignorant uneducated low lives that can’t critically think. They can be found in the armpit of the US also known as the South or the same states that lost the civil war which ended slavery. Most of you probably never heard it because no one wants to visit that part of the US.

Yall so fkn dumb af yall dont even know the benefits behind the tariffs for us Americans. Imagine someone helping your economy and not knowing about it while you criticizing the person helping you. Thats so fkn dumb. Poor Trump i feel bad for him as they're too many ignorant people out there. Think about it how in the f does tariffs benefit Trump in any kind of way. In nothing its just for the Country thats all

It doesn't make sense until you're prepared to face the fact that Trump is a wannabe dictator. He is basically at war with any nation that is a democracy and he cosies up to the dictators of the world. He bypasses Congress, ignores the courts, and attacks the free press. It's easy to see the plan once you realise he's just another dictator. Americans voted for this. Well done. I hope you're happy.
