Can’t make sense of anything Don Orange Man says. He and his new wife, Elon. We the American people do not want any of the nonsense In Donny Boy has done. We all, the American people, apologize for this craziness.

Bravo Prime Minister Trudeau. More of this please. The whole world needs to standup to the demented and perverted convicted felon and his spineless puppets. The American people do not want this either.

As an American, I stand with Canada. We have the biggest dumb ass bully as our president and it’s shameful. The people who voted for that orange turd can suffer. It’s so dumb to impose tariffs on our closest allies. Ordinary Americans will suffer because of this.

The American people hear you. I stand with you.

So a foreigner has to teach the American people on the real consequences of a trade war. What Donald is unable to do because he understands nothing on that matter.

Good, decent, intelligent Americans ABHOR OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT. This is a dictatorship. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, and our EU allies 100%. These crazy people have taken over and they are DEMOLISHING America.

On behalf of the American people, we didn’t want any of this. I’m sorry

These tariffs are about the US consumer to pay more for everything in order for Dump to recover money from working people to give tax cuts to the rich, nothing else. His lame excuse/lie that it's about fentanyl on the Canadian border is well known by people with commonsense. Let's see how long Dumps supporters will keep believing him when they along with every other American are getting it up the ass in inflation, of which Dump lied he would take care of from day 1. Just today, 1st day of tariffs, gas went from $2.55 to $3.09 in NM Buckle up folks!!!

God bless President and never give up on us, Americans people

Trump is just doing it to draw attention away from his own country. He can blame Canada and every other country for American problems but that's not gonna work on American people. It's entirely disappointing that trump is pushing away American allies and bizarre that he thinks the economy will be better off.

Thank god for Trudeau. It is not Americans but Trump who is causing all this chaos. It is Trump that wants this trade war not the American people. Great speech.

I am embarrassed to be Canadian. Trump is doing everything and anything to make America and the American people better. He is not responsible for canada. All we do here is whine and get into a well if you do this we're gonna do that pissing contest. Instead of us here in Canada doing anything to make Canada stronger and us not reliant on handouts. We got that little brother syndrome where we wanna be like big brother but don't have any power

I think the US president is making the US economy worse, taxes and prices in the country will increase, and relations with other countries will not be good. Since taking office, he has only focused on the small number of rich people with a lot of money, while 90% of the population is struggling with prices and taxes, so he has nothing to care about. What did the American people vote for him to do? To make people's lives better, to have more jobs, to make taxes better...etc. He only talks but has not done anything. The words of a rich person like him are not trustworthy.

Just Tariff, nothing bad, work hard, don’t enjoy on American people and their money.

Of course it's not about fentanyl. This is about isolating the US from its allies, destroying the North American dream, profiting off its people, and aiding Putin's global plans.

The American people love you, Prime Minister.

As an American citizen I just want to say thank you our president is so screwed up he's taking our nation down the toilet and none of the Republicans will even help they won't voice their opinions they won't help their own people that is shameful so please do what you have to do we understand we voted for Biden vice president not Trump and no he is not a very smart guy Pam or Elon

Thank you for realzing that Donald and his fellow crooks are who are creating this, not the majority of the American people.

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.

They call him antichrist but to me that is crap,trump is the worst president who is making decisions foolishly n American love it bcoz they have no choice,they know they choose the worst person for leadership,this guy is using his ego n his mind in making decisions,leadership is a think of listening n acting accordance with the majority not by one's will,if one uses his knowledge, his knowledge can never suit the world,the computer is for the world but with people's mind,it is not working on its own.

The United States is BANKRUPT! That is the only reason that makes sense why Trump needs tariffs on product from other countries (Trump Needs to have his people buy American). The USA needs all the money spent on themselves rather than on foreign products. This is also why Trump is pulling a Putin by trying to invade friendly countries, Even this action is to try to force Canada to become part of the United States so that they will own and Control our natural resources. The thing that the USA forgets is Canadians are Proud and Resistant to threats. We will remember this for a long time and even if this ILLEGAL ACTION works you will gain 40 MILLION TERRORISTS Hell bent on killing all Americans!

Trump did this and is fucking the American people over

We don't want to see Canadians hurt, either. It's all very unnecessary and intended only to appease the bottomless ego of a tyrant. Donald Trump imposed tariffs on your country. The American people did not. We are sorry, and we will do all we can to use the processes in place to remove Trump and his elected supporters from power as soon as we can.

The canadian people are about to show americans what war means and how we stand strong. We will not be pushovers and i know rest of world will back us!!

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?

Countries around the world believe they will be better served by appealing to the American people rather than appealing to Trump.

CNN is anti Trump, Wall Street Journal is anti Trump, Canadian PM is cozing up with Zelensky who fought with Trump the other day, Canada has been taking USA for a ride on tariffs for so long, which President is trying to correct for which American people have voted him overwhelmingly, today's pain will be tomorrow's gain!

His a joke like all the politicians - no exceptions… talking about some numbers that doesn’t make sense… what a dirty way - to say indirectly to the American people to boycott their government ? trade war isn’t a war it call business - better than what any president that still support any people losing their lives in a nonsense conflict.

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.

What is currently happening in America is surreal. The actions of our president do not represent how the American people think and feel.

I am so sorry Canadian people, This is not what most of us wanted, so you do what you must do, in order to protect your people, and just remember, most of us Americans stand with you.

When we boo at the US anthem it’s not against the American people but we boo for Trump.

Just so our Canadian brother and sisters know 231 million American people DID NOT WANT THIS! those 77 million Maga maggots and Donald Trump DO NOT represent us, AT ALL!! he and his goons will single-handedly destroy this Country. I'm so incredibly sorry this is happening!

Same Mr.Trudeau same... The American people do not want this either ?

As an American, I am very sad to see our neighbors and friends pull away from us. All of these decades of working together to achieve the greater good for the world; destroyed by one man's selfishness, greed, and delusion. Don't get me wrong, he's supported by people that worship him and are pushed on by their own delusions of grandeur and selfishness. They can't see the immovable, solid wall they are hurdling towards. I hope in the future, our past friends and allies are willing to take us back once these fools get kicked out.

We don't want this, either. <3 Canada is a wonderful country and neighbor. The true American people care. We can't say the same about the people hacking away at our government and profiting from it all. We're on your side, Trudeau, because real Americans are on the world's side. That's the actual truth despite the actions of the oligarchs here. We've been overrun.

don’t say “They” Trump orange ass and his clown crew doing this we the American people not supporting his BS

Nothing personal Americans, but Trump has enraged people in Canada and we are boycotting every American product we can so long as this narcissistic idiot is in power.

trump did this. He’s a greedy childish bully. His motto is “More Money, More Money-all for ME & my Trillionaire friends”. Screw the American people, screw our allies

Thank you President Trudeau! The facts are clear. We have a dictator in power. I will fight to get him out! He has done nothing to help the American people! SHAMEFUL!

The lies, the misinformation, and the senseless attacks on Canada is all we have heard and felt, so thank you for sharing the facts with the American people! Not sure why they want to get rid of this guy but he is what America needs in this moment!

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

Most of the American people are sick with this fascist dictator and his policies. ?

As an American, I am ashamed of our president. I apologize to the Canadian people and want them to know that the vast majority of Americans do not support what our president is doing. We will do what we can to stop him, and I hope when this insanity is over, you can forgive us and we can restore our relationship. We know that because of Donald Trump's stupid actions, we will have a lot of work to do in restoring your trust in us. Again, I apologize.

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.

As a Midwest American I despise what our government is doing. And I thank the other democracies in the world for standing up and caring for their people.

Eat a sausage trudeau the sycophants in the cnn comme t page her are outnumbered. An idiot like you talk down to the american people. Get wrecked bro. Canadians better elect poliveri or your in for a world of bankruptcy.

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

I still don’t get how MAGA people don’t see how Trump and his administration is screwing our economy even more than it already was!!! His policies are only making the rich even richer while suffocating even more the average American. What will it take for them to open their eyes!!!

Now Americans can find out exactly what it means to vote for teflon Don. All those tarrifs he imposes will be passed onto the American consumer. Funny how NONE of that was made known just prior to the American presidential election. Teflon Don was just waiting to drop it like a bomb after he took office. I feel sorry for the people it's going to hurt.
