This is fucking cazey what's going on with trump why he doing this shit

Trump is gonna be pissed! You know he's not going to like the call out. This whole shit about to be expensive as fuck for us all.

here is the problem, trump is going to take us into world war 3

I do not know if tariffs or Trump's actions are the correct thing to do. But why can't the USA do 25% tariffs, if Canada has 65% tariffs on the USA? Why is Canada demanding the USA support them? Someone please explain it to me. And Trudeau could have picked up the phone and called Trump, this speech was not meant to solve anything. What is so brilliant except to heighten rhetoric and tension? Someone needs to be a grown up but going on CNN and insulting Trump isn't the way.

Trump is going to tank the world economy and Maga will be fine with it until there are bread lines ?

Trump is trying to end war that’s why he wants to make peace with Russia! And there are a LOT of rude Canadians just as Americans! I don’t think Canada and America ever been allies or close friends HONESTLY speaking! But what Trudeau is making a point, this will not go well for everyone! Wow this handsome man knows French as well! How smart of him!

Donald Trump needs a fight wherever there is no fight, because it's what legitimizes who he is. He needs conflict to give his life purpose, and we all go down the drain with him because of that affliction.

Go our dear friends and neighbors of Canada! (A 5th generation Texan here depressed by what we have become.) Trump does not care, his paycheck is from our tax money and he will just file another personal bankruptcy if he needs to do so, because he is so good at business (not).

We are always friends with Great Canada. I dont control Trump. And so i wont dont want jail. I say I am so sorry as an American. I won't go into details to why some to why so many Americans think that they can go back in time. Some and many Americans think they are entitled. I cannot say so sorry for something I am not responsible for. I remembered a time when Hitler's friends blamed & they blamed incessantly.

Is Trump a Putin’s hand to demolish the world order? Unbelievable what is going on. This trump guy must be very very sick or just a traitor

Not America! Trump did! We didn't know that idiot was going to do that!

Trump is sending the world into a tail spin. Just to say he's Putins friend. America will find a whole new world with Russia and China. I feel for the American public who are watching their life go down the gurgler.....even the ones who think he's doing a good job ...won't take long for the peanut to drop in the hole. We'll spoken Trudeau. We'll done canada ??

Canada met Trump's terms and he still screwed them, I don't blame them for retaliating. Losing allies and isolating us from the rest of the world is going to hurt everyone

Go Canada!!!! we all stand with you well done. So now Tariffs from Canada and China, next will be Europe and Australia will stop all imports from the US Hopefully, Trump will cause a recession on the world

Every country should be responsible for their own goods. The day we start relying on other countries for what we need we're in a heck of a mess. Because China couldn't get our merchandise to our plant we had to shut down for almost a month. We messed up sending some of our work to China. After this we got everything in the US. Cheaper prices are not the solution. Cheaper labor is not the answer. Trump is concerned about the drugs coming into our country and since the borders are affected these drugs will be coming into our country many other ways. You know where criminals go to get out of the US. Canada. Trump is doing this for our country and you can bet on this. I'm sick of drugs in our country killing people everyday. I'm sick of guns but just about every household owns guns. Children are killed in their own homes with guns. Who cares about alcohol being sold in their state. Honestly. People are homeless because of addiction to alcohol. Yeah saying president Trump using fentanyl for this for this trade war was a bad move. President Trump is doing this for the drugs taking over this country.

So, everyone's favorite leader of Canada failed negotiations with Trump and decided to go public by putting pressure on the American people who are paying for the whole buffet. Since when did politics and diplomacy become such an ugly mess?

Can someone please tell Trump Canada is our friend. They have given lives in our wars. They are going to find other customers for their oil while our auto industry will be trashed. They will find other countries to buy their lumber while the cost of building American homes soars. It will be easy for Canada, Mexico and China to come out ahead in this trade war. Trump’s understanding of economics and international trade is at the sixth grade level- and not a very bright sixth grader. Finally where is Trumps plan to protect American families and workers? Where is the national resolve to work together to get through this?

Trump has money. None of this is going to bother him at all.\nHe just wants to bully others, to try and look strong, and menacing.\n\nHe isn't smart enough to realize it just makes him look petty and dumb.

As an American Donald Trump was a mistake. It's time for the American people to wake up and admit their mistakes. An inflated ego is not good. My fellow American we don't want a president with an inflated ego, who will never admit his mistake. People will definitely die because of this fool of a man. Imagine 5 years or 4 years of this. I can go on for many paragraphs but what's the point since I firmly know that my point will be proven in less than a year. Don't forget the employment rate keeps rising, inflation is rising. No wages increase for the citizens of the country. Medical and Medicaid will be cut as well as social security. Mass layoffs, it's also not easy to get a new job. Well I think we will have to migrate to other countries but that will not help. The only solution is to have him removed from the oval office.

Most of you dont know what's going on Trudeau has a bad approval rating and there is more to the story. Trump is fighting on your side Americans yet you fight against him. You want lower prices but think that comes from debt of the US you want less drugs but belive the president that has free use in their country to do any drug imaginable right next to the border.

I hope I’m still welcome to vacation in your beautiful country and if so I hope I’m not looked down upon because trump decided to go full dictator.

Why go against your greatest ally!? The United States has lost it by electing Trump again, they are going to wreck the world completely.

People in the comments might want to ask themselves why is Trump's approval rating going up up and up

We, the Canadians, stand by our government. We are prepared to go through this and come out well . We did not fight this fight and we feel for those who did not vote for Trump in America

You know Trump is beyond horrible when Trudeau is the preferred leader. Geezus, how low can the bar go. Trudeau, Trump is not smart - quit saying that. I realize you do it solely to appease him and to appeal to his fragile ego but quit it. Trump is many things - a racist, a rapist, a pedophile, a conman, a grifter, a criminal - he is not smart. Just check his records from Wharton - oh right you can't. He has threatened to sue if they ever released them. He has redused to take an IQ test which every other President has done. He knows he's not smart.

How can he be speaking directly to president Trump? I don’t see Trump? Trump’s not crying. Who’s whining? Who’s crying? Who’s going to start paying their fair share? Who’s going to stop gaming the US? Lots of questions.

I'm no American neither Canadian but if you want to fix the rift go meet trump and tell him you assigned part of your defence budget in manning the border to counter this fentanyl issue.\nThen again the fentanyl might be an excuse but I would do it still had I been Canadian leader

I feel sorry for al the employees and families in America and around the world that are going to lose jobs.. Trump Vance Rubio Musk spoilt brats won't care sitting back in thier multi million dollar houses and mansions..

OMG ??? The U.S Government has really fucked up with Canada!!! This is your fault, Trump, you made it bad for everyone I hope that u r happy and able to sleep at night. The moment Trump came into office, it was going to be trouble for the country ?

This is almost political interference from Canada trying to attack trump over this and to try and turn Americans against each other. Most Canadians will tell you this guy needs to go.

I never wanted Trump to win the election. Unfortunately those of us who don't agree with what's going on in Washington are going to be dragged to the depths of despair due to the lunacy of somebody who, idk how people agree with him, is insane.

Hey here's a law democrats! When trump starts a war, his and his rich friends can go fight it. And they can fund the session while they are at it. Just saying. Not really strategic to pisss off the 2 allies on your border?‍♂️

You are FIRE Justin Trudeau. ♥♥♥ Trump is single-handedly making the whole world despise America. Way to go.

It was not America. It was Trump and his gang. They must be stopped. Unfortunately, we are going to be hurt. Bad. \nGet ready to pay for a quarter pound of flower for a full day of work. ?

Trump is going to start World War III with our allies. Seriously. Republicans? Congress. Enough Already

In 2022, the CDC reported over 90,000 drug overdose deaths, with a large portion linked to prescription medications—mainly opioids.\n\nIn 2022, there were about 73,000 fentanyl-related overdose deaths in the U.S., according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse \n\nTobacco kills approximately 480,000 people per year in the U.S.\n\nThis includes 41,000 deaths from secondhand smoke exposure.\n\nWith these numbers you’re think we’d be going after big pharmaceutical companies and tobacco companies if Trump is so concerned with the health of Americans! ??‍♂️ \n\nThere’s no way these tariffs are about fetanyl ! He’s INTENTIONALLY crashing the market so he can buy low

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

?Ok this is enough, when will we actually wake up? We don't need any type of war. We need a person who can be diplomatic. The Trump joke is over, he and his team needs to go. How much more will US lose?

Trump thinks he can control the world and extort money to line his pockets...Trump is revegeful, boastful and even the late QE knows that is also a balatant thief ...there is absolutely nothing good about him ....anybody else who is found guilty in the US are subjected to a prison sentence but Trump will corrupt the even the justice system so that he can wilfully commit more crimes and not be sentence to prison but can go on freely to commit more criminal acts. The American people who dont want more sufferings should strip him of the title president and kick the him out of the White House soon.

Go prime minister treudou apply it to Trump administration???????

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.

What's the trolling horse? Cause Trump is doing stuff and nobody's watching what he's doing. Guess what? This can be World War 3, no matter what Canadians do to protect their borders. He aint gonna be satisfied anyway, so we gotta cut our resources and go somewhere else. Take our goods and baskets out of the basket. And start dealing outside of the US that was our big mistake we don't want to deal with Russians. This putin is nothing but a dictator please nobody

Watch, Trump's going to give Alaska to Russia.

I honestly believe Trump wants these tariffs because the 25% tariff will go directly into government coffers and he needs money to cover the huge tax cuts he gave his cronies and the wealthy. Unfortunately, Americans will be paying this 25% tax. No winners on either side.

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!!

I no longer believe there is anything Trump could do to deter his supporters. He’s openly aligning with dictators and bullying our allies, dismantling checks and balances and consolidating power, even talked about a third term?! Everyone in the government going along with him clearly has dollar signs in their eyes and a “if you can’t beat him, join him” mentality. Sorry Canadians. If you’re worried, I promise we are too. At least I am.

Trump is a Russian Agent, everything he is doing is for Putin - all rational and intelligent people know this. I don't know why the MAGA cult choose to remain blind and deaf to the dealings going on but those of us who refuse to join the cult can clearly see that Trump's actions belie his words. He is a liar and a Traitor who is owned by Putin.

I stand with canada…trump can go to hell now

Intelligence, wisdom, patriotism…why can’t US have a leader like Trudeau. (But Trump is NOT a smart man. That comment was meant to praise the boy.) Go, Canada!

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
