I don't think this is about drugs or border issues at all. This is about Trump wanting to rule an empire like his hero Putin.

Canada will have to explain to convicted felon Donald Trump what fertilizer is, among other things. But it also needs to understand that Donald Trump wanted Canada to be the 51st state because he has already made the United States Russia’s 47th oblast, and he wants to give Putin control of ALL of the real estate around the north Polar Sea. That’s also why Trump wants Greenland.

Putin wants to ruin us and Trump is his puppet. Stop Trump. Stop Musk.

Trump as he announced wants Canada and Greenland that is why those tariffs are in place , that is why why he thinks of Putin like his hero and giving on Ukraine. Tariffs war is just a beginning

?Well done trump. Speak up as to why yous pushed Putin in to Ukraine. NATO moving closer and closer.Expoain that you freak.Trump,Putin better than these evil manipulators. Yous want war not peace as you all sit in background sending young innocent lives to slaughter in Ukraine. TRUMP,TRUMP,TRUMP??⭐️Live him

Trump uses drugs as the reason we all know that is not true. Trump has to be the feared leader, as he cosy up to Putin. Trump likes isolation he wants America to be Russia allied We the people will survive but know that gaining our trust back will not be easy but we are up for the fight. We will not get in bed with a country that is siding with Putin

Trump reminds me of Two Faces friends we have in our lives who are a betrayal of friendship. \nTrump says he doesn’t want war but sir you declared an economic COUP with your true friends which is dishonourable. \nWe Canadians stay stron together. You can go pet putin’s…..

First time he's stepped up. I still do not want Liberals in power. It's a great speech but he's created some of the problems in Canada. He should have closed the border years ago and paid more for the military help.. Too little too late but he's finally protecting Canada! No Putin no takeover, not Trump!

The American people who voted for Trump ought to be totally ashamed - he is only interested with his good friend Putin and wants to strip Ukraine of his precious minerals. Stay strong Canada and play him at his own game.

Many americans might want to move to Canada because of Trump's authoritarian ambitions. Aligning with Putin, Trump will seek to learn more about how to be an effective dictator and kleptocrat.

Its obvious trumps working with putin they probably made a deal if america dont get involved with Ukraine war . And putin wants him to do his best to cripple major countrys . Trump needs to go and quick becouse theres something were not seeing in this madness .

Trump doesn't care who he hurts. He and Vance stand by Putin! Trump should have negotiated with Canada and not threatened to start a war with Us.. more than a trade war. Trump wants to help Putin take Ukraine and then he hopes his buddy Putin will help annex Canada! It will be war.. we will not give Canada to backstabbers and murderers!

It is sad but this is exactly what Trump is wanting. He is creating chaos and attacking our friends so he can create an emergency and declare martial law. In effect Trump is becoming a dictator who aligns with Russia and will be Putin's puppet. Great speech from PM Trudeau. I support Canada and all actions they take against Trump, regardless of how that will hurt us. This is ALL Trump's fault.

Why don’t people just say it! Trump want to eliminate the Constitution he wants to make us a communist country, he wants to be the supreme ruler, he wants to be the 2nd PUTIN!!

Why don’t people just say it! Trump want to eliminate the Constitution he wants to make us a communist country, he wants to be the supreme ruler, he wants to be the 2nd PUTIN!!

What Trump wants is Putin. He is only making excuses to take Canada and Mexico out and he only wants Putin.

Zelensky was willing to pay Trump $500 billion dollars (or 50%) out of Ukraine’s minerals. And was willing to allow Russia to occupy 20% of Ukraine’s territory. Trump and JD Vance are chastising Zelensky when all Zelensky wants in exchange of the mineral and territorial deal is a security guarantee that Putin will stop invading the rest of Ukraine.

What is this about, Trump wants a 3rd and 4th term ,he wants to be in power as long as he is alive (a dictator ) he wants what Putin got, thats why they are mates.....

This idiotic game by the Trump-Vance gang only makes sense if they are in fact (hidden behind the pseudo-nationalist MAGA nonsense) working for Putin. And if they want to destroy our Western democracies, also in the interests of Putin. And China is the laughing third party.

I am A Vietnam Veteran , Jan-Dec 1967 , and am A True Blue American Patriot who loves America with Every Ounce Of My Being !!!!! That being said , what Donald Trump and his Traitorous Conspirators are doing to Our Neighbors , Both Canada and Mexico , is A Travesty Beyond anything An American President has EVER DONE in Our History !!!! My belief is that Trump is A Russian Asset who is doing everything he can to Tear Apart Our American Democracy , to give Vladimir Putin An Open Door to America !!!! Trump is A TRAITOR TO AMERICA , MAKE NO MISTAKE !!!! Prepare yourselves for America`s 2nd Civil War !!! IT IS COMING !!!!! You can laugh all you want , but you won`t be laughing when you begin to hear Gunshots ringing out in Your Neighborhood !!! The ONLY THING that will convince Trump he made A HUGE MISTAKE is Americans armed to The Teeth standing outside of The White House , ready to rip him out of it by force !!!! He has Underestimated Americans Resolve !!!! REAL AMERICANS `` WILL NOT STAND BY `` while he systematically Shreds our Democracy , and Names Himself THE KING OF AMERICA !!!! ITS TIME FOR WAR AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Truth be told ..Trump wants to be like Putin \n\nHe's kissing Putin's ass The only reason why he brought zelinsky to white house was to behave like a high schooler bullying with all his coonin minions \n He's made a mockery out of the presidency of America He's an ass licker for Putin and a buffoon.

TRUMP DOES WHAT PUTIN WANTS.

Trump wants to cripple Canada economically so that his billionare buddies can buy us up for pennies on the dollar. He's working with Putin to divide up the world and take the spoils by force.

The Mystery of what it’s all about was revealed the first week of the trump government!.. he wants Canada and Greenland as states. So he’s trying to weaken Canada and Europe from defending those territories.\nHis left hand is distracting u with tariffs and Putin, his right hand is advertising to ‘liberate’ Canada and Greenland!\nTrump has nothing to lose, he is literally beyond the average life expectancy of an American right now. He is trying to go for his vision of bigger empires

As an American born Ukrainian, we stand with Canada, who continues. Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and JD Vance are very EVIL and VILE human beings. THESE 3 CRIMINALS ARE Taking the USA INTO MANY DIFFICULT SITUATIONS. Getting back in to being buddy buddy again with THE WORLDS BIGGEST CRIMINAL AND DICTATOR PUTIN, IS GOING TO BE A BIG ISSUE for Americans. Many have innocent children and civilians have been MURDERED in Ukraine by Putin. Even as we tried several times to talk peace though Putin has proven that he wants NOTHING TO DO WITH A CEASEFIRE AND PEACE!!! TRUMP SHOULD BE IN PRISON LIKE THE CRIMINAL THAT HE IS!!!!

You Americans really need to get over yourselves. That was not harsh language, that was very measured and direct. Trump berated Canada with nasty language. If you want hash language, then we would tell you to F off and go and play with you puppet master, Putin.

I really wonder if the Russian people still know whom to hate, as doe decades it was the bad bad west. No Trump want to be loved by daddy Putin and is his slave.

Trump's actions are not those of an ally. He's a terrorist that wants to annex Canada like Putin did with Ukraine.

Trudeau is a leader. Trump is a follower of Putin. I'm so sorry, Canada. This isn't what most Americans want. Trump is a shame, and he won't last.

Trump and Putin both want and need Canada for the simple reason of the Arctic melts. Ships can now travel that pass. Trump is known, and I'm surprised the media doesn't bring it up, to have financial ties to Russia as an American citizen even well before 2016. What kind of blackmail from Russia would make Trump totally sell out his country.

Trump has a deal done with Putin,all the raw materials he wants,and the kgb and mossad know all about the little visits to the island,that is what it was there for

Trump is Russia asset. This is what putin want his orange puppet to do. To destroy the us and its allies. Looks like this traitor doing a damn good job as we speak

He talks about Trump and Putin, but he didn't talk about how he has been in bed with the Chinese Communist Party. You would think being the son of a reported child rapist father he would be not wanting to say too much about anybody. He was given a reprieve and made the decision to do nothing. He lied to Trump and then sat on his hands. Trudeau needs to give Canada a gift and get the heck out of the office that he was voted out of awhile ago.

Some think Trump purposely tanked the deal because Putin wants the minerals. Either way Trump is an ass and those of us not in the cult know he doesn’t care about anything

Trump said he wants to break the relationship between China and Russia how better to do it by getting in bed with Putin!\nTrump could be playing Putin.

What the heck does Putin have on Donnie? Was it pedophilia on Epstein's Island? was it sex with boys and girls? Was it the mythical pee tapes? Whatever it is it has to be big enough to get Donnie to break with all the US's traditional allies which has to be making Putin rub his hands with glee. How far does this adjudged rapist, and 34 count felon that the US decided it wanted to make it's President, have to go before someone steps in and say that Trump represents a clear and \npresent danger to the economic and military security of the world? His administration forced New York's director of the FBI to resign because that man did not want to give up the names of personnel who investigated the Jan 6 insurrectionists. He put a known Russian apologist, Tulsi Gabbard, in charge. He has frozen aid to a country actively fighting for it's very survival against an aggressive and expansionist Russia. He applied tariffs against Canada and threatens the same against Europe., he has banned the freedom to protest in colleges though he freed people imprisoned for rising in actual insurrection against the Government. Dictatorship comes in steps isolation from the world and suppression of freedoms are but two. The free world weeps for what the US is becoming under this current administration.

The orange Felon-in-chief is working for Putin. There's absolutely no doubt about it. Newscasters need to stop pussyfooting around this fact. He has ALWAYS been Putin's little lapdog. I really want to know what threat Putin has over tRump.

Trump just want destroyed everything to make Putin happy

This is for real, Trump want to be in Putins knee instead???

REAL AMERICANS STAND WITH CANADA!!!! NO ONE WANTS PUTIN'S POODLE - lap dog Trump! Money stole the 2024 election! Canada REMAINS OUR FRIENDS!!!

As a Canadian I stand proudly on guard for my amazing sovereign country ❤ ?? ❤\nWe must protect ourselves from this extremely old, dumb Liar ,bully. Puppet Master want to be dictator, convicted felon, sexual predator and supporter of the war criminal killer, lying and bully Putin and Russia. \n\nI see what's happening to the American people, your constitution and bill of Rights because of trumps and his bunch of thugs administration and this will hurt both Canadian's and every single American, the United States is in great danger because of this deranged very old orange child bully who is in love with dictators. Youre country has been in decline and no longer the great coountry that the United States were. Believe me trump cares nothing for the American people. God bless you as both our countries, Mexico, and all countries are being hurt by trump/ Vance administration. As they support the dictator \nPutin the war criminal and lying bully.\nTrump / Vance are not Peace MAKERS and the war criminal and brutal dictator putin will never stop the war.\nThe world is that much closer to world war 3 because of trump bromance with putin.

Trump is just trying to emulate Putin..he invaded Ukraine...and so Trump wants to ultimately invade Canada. FDT.

Where did Putin get all his money? He stole it from the Russian government. Is Trump putting these tariffs on countries so more money comes into the government so he can steal it like Putin did, he loves Putin and wants to be like Putin. This is highly possible. Given Trumps record of cheating and lying to gain riches I say it is very possible. Trump should be in prison for Jan 6 not counting the 34 felonies he committed.

trump is just using lies to justify whatever he wants. just like putin. should be a big give away what time of person trump is

Does anyone think like I do? Trump wants to show his boss Putin that he can increase his empire by causing hardship to Canadians such that they will beg to join as a 51st state. Fentanoly is just an excuse to claim victimization.

CNN cut out what our Prime Minister ?? was going to say as to the real reason why we are getting hit with Tariffs which is this,,,to economicaly cripple us so Trump can Annex Us,,Take over Canada,,,,we have what Trump wants,,Our minerals,water, rich resources,,,he wants to be like Putin his idol,,,,That is the real plan Americans,,,please wake up to this and get him out of office ,,,your country is slowly becoming a dictatorship brick by brick under Trump and his regime,,,

Why are those 2 people standing behind him trying not to smile when Trudeau is making up that Trump wants a trade war and he's siding with Putin? This guy is trying to start problems and spreading lies to keep the division going!!! That is the whole plan with this whole Ukraine deal!!! Stop funding the wars and we could all move forward not with this BS!!!

Trump is kissing Putin's ass. He want's to be seen as a tough dictator like Putin. Time to run the Natzis out of the WhiteHouse

Trump is looking for an excuse to go to war, so he is escalating. He wants to invade Canada the same way Russia attacked Ukraine for the Black Sea and argicultural land. The US is now communist, not Marxist, but in the lane of Stalin and Putin. Wake up America, you are becoming the bad guys. You are aligning with the Axis powers.
