Trump getting rad5dy for another bankruptcy. Ronald Reagan is spinning in his grave

Remember when republicans hated commies? And now they’re getting on the Putin train, all because Trump said so

TRUMP? we don't want your oil electricity we will get them from China

This is so stupid. Trump is selling us (America) out to China, Russia and the other BRICs countries. Why else would Trump destroy relationships with our allies? Why else would he kill USAID? China gets to swoop in and be the hero now. I hear Trump is even killing the CHIPS act! Why!!? He's snuggling up to Putin and acting as if Ukraine was the aggressor in that war. Something incredibly fucked up is happening and this is only the beginning.

Hey Canada/Trudeau if you don’t want the tariffs from President Trump then remove your limiting factors on American goods to equal the playing field! Maybe these tariffs and our President may finally get you to allow into Canada as much as we do into the USA! Trying to play a game of tariff against President Trump will not do Canadians any good. This is part of the reason you won’t be the tyrant dictator you once enjoyed being. Not to mention the Canadian government should be doing a lot better on stopping the cartels and their POS fentanyl from coming into their country as well as across into the US!

Trump doesn't care about fair, doesn't care about truth, doesn't care about anything other than 1) how much he can get people to fawn over him and 2) how much money he can make off of any situation, regardless of who gets hurt in the process.\n\nHey Trudeau, why don't you just annex the US as the 11th Canadian province! That's what I'm talking aboot!

Everyone gets hurt, fascists don‘t care. tRump = piece of s—t.

A lot can be learned from this guy. Trumps ego is getting out of control. And sadly I voted for him. \n\nThinking I’ll move to Canada.

Trump will do what he has always done. Screw everyone over while he makes off with the money and throws everyone else under the bus. In this case, the entirety of America will be the ones under that bus. Trump will once again get away completely unpunished for his actions. \nTrump and musk both belong in prison.

Are people _FINALLY_ going to see reality? Trump wants as much discourse as possible. His major plan is to declare a reason for Martial Law, to take complete control of the government/country. As I have said this before, for years, all I received in return is to be called a Russian BOT! Well, guess what? It's going to get much, much worse! And, YES, it's the democrats, also.

We must get rid of Trump, Vence, Musk, ect.. ASP by any means. ☠️☠️☠️

Not even 2 months in, and already the damage is immeasurable. The world is bleeding because of trump, from coast to coast. What about 1 more year of this? 2 more? 3 more? Trump needs to get impeached asap.

Trump truly needs to get out of Putin's arse and get some fresh air.

Anti trump American is total support of Canada here! Pro EU! Anti Putin! Get it out of the White House!

I buy a lot from Canada. It’s True Trump doesn’t know how a tariff works. I’m already getting the emails that prices are going up from my distributors.

Why did Canadians dislike this guy so much before all this? Because some Russian trolls on social media disguised as Canadians told them to? That's how we got Trump! It seems like they learned from our mistake. I hope they did. Look, all over the world, things are tough, post pandemic. It's not just your country. You can be patient as left leaning leaders use data and expertise to get things running again...OR you can elect these far right NUTCASES, AND MAKE A MESS THAT IS IRREVERSIBLE! DON'T TRUST THE FAR RIGHT! YOU ARE NOT IN THEIR CLUB. THEY WORK FOR THEMSELVES AND THEMSELVES ONLY, AND WILL TELL YOU WHATEVER LIE YOU NEED TO HEAR TO GET INTO OFFICE.

It's about money. Specifically Donald Trump getting as much money as possible from this term. Putin likely told him to make sure to distance America from its allies, so that he can use the USAs military gizmos to expand his mission to take over Ukraine amd any other country he wants. All this in exchange for making him and his cronies filthy rich. Trump keeps dropping clues about the plan. Elon, created Doge to weaken the economy even further so that the USAs assest are devalued and he can officially the US oligarchy. He's been in talks with Putin, we've seen them together. So now this Trump Gold card, is a way in for more oligarchs from Russia specifically to sweep up the remaining industries at a fraction of what they used to be valued. Then the USA will be the western arm of Putins empire. Since he made sure to obliterate all friendly relationships the US had with the western world, the other countries won't do anything to help the US so as to avoid all out war. Trump will then walk off into the sunset as one of the richest, if not the richest, man on earth.

Get er done Trump. I want to thank Trump for the market discount holiday

I’m from the u.s and I stand with Canada !!! Get trump out of here!!!!! Worse president in the history of presidency

AS a Canadian i know what Trump wants from Canada, To agree he is right about getting out of Ukraine. And i totally agree with him. On Ukraine

Canada puts high tariffs on our goods, but girlie-man gets mad when Trump puts a couple of tariffs on them. He forgets that the U.S. military defends Canada...Is that supposed to be free? Trying to talk tough doesn't work for girlie-man, because he's just not. He needs to just suck it up and kiss Trump's ring.

Trump doesn’t care, this is a gong show to distract. Let’s get the border armed.

Thank you all that elected president Trump… life will only get worst and we are only at week 6

Ok, to be honest, this is exactly what the other side want, reactions/panic. Trump loves it...but be honest... he is a buissnessman(!), don´t ever forget that!! My heart struggel so hard with this one... How? Why? When/Ever?\n\nTo Canadian Prime minister: I hear you and will make a change as a born child 1976, Euorpean. US was the ONE-country to discover as a young fellow! I will for now on also hearing Canadian news and other countries like Australia, France, Great Britain, South Africa, Japan, etc. Democracy <3 \n\nUS we hear you still but this is NOT ok!!! It would be to go against our absolut nearest neighbour hood! Our most trusted!! We love them!!! How can you??!! We would never do that!! Our countries are united and will stand together, beside what one person or government says, that is democracy!!! Stand up US people!!! \nWe are united, we are one! Don´t let his words get you, ever!

Canada continue to be strong let Trump know that Canada is no push over Am?erica get rid of Trump and Vance also Musk

MAGA nuts don’t care what Trump does , long as it helps their selfish interests. Most Americans love Our neighbors . Trump and Vance are not friendly people , they are basically Adolf and Himmler reincarnation from another time. A time of great racial hate and greed. All MAGA wants is cheap energy , food , and get rid of anybody not like themselves ……Trump encourages these low brow people promising to eliminate anybody who doesn’t agree with his base of voting power. Trump,fancies himself a King and wants the world to bow down to his policies. He is one of the, we are many , let’s not let Trump copy Putin s Russia.nightmare.

Robert De Niro’s statement on Donald is perfect. \n\n “I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men. I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty. Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly. I see an evil one. Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.” Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong. Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped. Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them. We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego. We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership. We tried to warn the world in 2016. The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination. Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world. We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags. The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior. That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse. Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously. So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America: This is our last chance. Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator. And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided. So what do we do about it? I know I’m preaching to the choir here. What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls. We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice. Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them. Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect. Let’s not talk about “democracy.” “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. Let’s talk about right and wrong. Let’s talk about humanity. Let’s talk about kindness. Security for our world. Safety for our families. Decency. Let’s welcome them back. We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.””

most people do not seem to get, that trump is the face of the majority of americans. the great majority is on board with what trump is doing. unfortunately.

Trudeau isn't dumb in stating this bluntly to 'Donald'. Trump needs to get the message (esp. by mass protest from his hopefully former American voters/supporters) just how dumb these US tariffs really are - how they'll cause inflation and stock market collapse the world over. And Trump's aligning himself with the US's manipulative, deceitful enemy Russia is because Trump has been laundering Russian Oligarch's money for decades (from forced prostitution and enslavement, drugs, and small arms sales to terrorists) to finance his real estate empire, ever since his 6 bankruptcies made him a bad risk for US lenders.

Trump needs stop using blackmail and strong arming mafia tactics on his allies. He might get what he wants, but burning lots of bridges while doing so.

Canadian Government is ripping off there tax payers and Laundering money just like the Biden administration.. You guys need a guy like Trump to come in and drain the swamp just like here in the US. The corruption is deep... Trump can be rude and unhinged, sometimes but he gets shit done. Hope you Canadians get a Prime Minster that will cut fraud and taxes for you. That's where your real threat is.

NOTHING BUT LIES AND CRYING JUST LIKE ANY LIBERAL,.............GO TRUMP, LET IT ROLL...just wait for the elections and all will get fixed.

Canada + Europe = true ❤ Let's get the trade agreements going and leave the nutcase Trump in the dust!

Im an american and i wish i wasnt! I hate what this country has become because of trump. All the countries need to get together and fight back against trump.

From UK , Trump and Vance should be forced out of their jobs as are not fit for purpose . Terrible what they are playing at , Trump is easily taken in with Putin he wants Trump himself to be a Dictator just alike his pal , his hero Putin \nPutin he is a mass murderer and wanted for war crimes also .\nEvil man Putin and trump just what does he see in him . Both as said Trump and Vance should be taken out of their jobs \nforced if need be . Trump sais he is trying to stop a war in Ukraine ? Seems to me he has not \nSeems so far as i type he talks bull , and just after the rare minerals in the Ukraine . The mans not fit for the job within \nand needs removed along with his co habs Vance and the other idiot stood behind them in that room .\nTreated Zelensky terribly also in that room a set up against him it was ..Americans get rid of them guys somehow .\n\nCanada all the best .

Clearly Donald Trump does not understand the simple concept of Tariffs...when reporters ask him questions he deflects the questions., President Trump is not acting according to the oath he has taken as President. Its obvious this is a revenge trip for all of the legal issues against Trump over the last years,, he is taking it personal and damaging so many critical pillars within the US and its all gonna come down and thats where he thinks he will personally win ie get his revenge.

Trump is on his revenge tour ….get back at anyone who made fun of, bad mouthed , fought against his elections , tried to undo his policies . He is going after everyone , the Hunter Biden political problems , all the old problems , he is now extracting revenge on ALL who crossed him over the pass 8 years . .

All Trump has been asking for all along is for Canada & Mexico to DO THEIR PART in stemming the illegal immigration and Fentanyl from crossing into the United States. Nearly 100,000 Americans die each year from Fentanyl overdoses. The raw ingredients come from China and into their respective nations, where they are processed and made into Fentanyl, then brought into the U.S. Neither nation has taken Trump seriously and Biden didn't give a crap and actually assisted with bringing in more of everything. Now both nations get to deal with the results of their inactions. Remember, these are reciprocatory tariffs to simply equal what American goods are charged by Canada & Mexico already. NOW everyone is on an equal playing field. If these nations want lower tariffs, they can go first and then the U.S. will match it to theirs... It's that simple.

Go Canada, well done. Time to get rid of Trump the Muppet and all he stands for.

The us relationship isn’t just deteriorated between them and Canada \nIt is the same for any other country in the world just now \nThe US doesn’t have a genuine friend now anywhere other than Russia and North Korea \n\nFrankly, I hope Trump continues his stupidity and it kills the US because the only way to demonstrate to the immense dumb electorate that supports Trump is for his own idiocy to hurt them. We don’t have time to try to educate them now. These people are an equal mix of ignorance, racism and entitlement. \n\nI’m in france and I’ll be honest, if I see or hear a US national (and we can figure out who is Canadian and not) then they will get no help from anyone here. \n\nThe US i grew up admiring as a kid in the U.K., the us I subsequently worked and lived in, the us people I worked with globally … all gone\nAnd frankly, it is the fault of the American electorate

I'm an American whose ancestors came here in the 1700s. I apologize and I did not vote for Trump who should have been put in prison a long time ago. Everyday he does something against our constitution. Even an idiot gets it right sometime. But he is not a complete idiot. He is an evil savant.

Because Canada supports Ukraine, it meant it is against Russia. And Trump won’t have any of that. Put someone who looks at these things as they are plainly as can be, this is the best anyone can get. Can’t be any flimsier than that.

Appeasing Putin? Really Justin....and what's your plan, just keeping the meat grinder going? This child will just get more and more Ukrainians killed. Time to pursue peace. We know what this is all about. He just despises Trump. He doesn't really matter.

Keep in mind yesterday on youtube, there is talk of mr Trump being high on adderall and other drugs. White powder in Trump's nose from sniffing. Stuttering. Somebody has to get Trump 8n hospital and out of presidential office.

Canada and Mexico have always been family, as well as UK and Europe close friends and allies. Trump is by far the daftest president in the history of our nation, he’s destroying our economy and the well-being of the American people. All he’s doing is making the rich richer and getting rid of the middle class making families struggle. \n\nSo much for the equality and prosperity of our country. \n\nI really wish President Zelenskyy would not sign over any mineral l rights to the Ukraine. I felt embarrassed and completely appalled as an American for the treatment that he received. \n\nThe duped people who voted for Trump are now getting what they deserve. This presidency is not America first. \nThis presidency is about Trump and his friends changing all the laws for their own benefit lining their pockets.

Americans we are sorry booing anthem. Please get through Trump. Thanks for the worlds reaction and Americans. Terrible mistake.

The Oligarchs are getting their dreams fulfilled. It's not a trade war its a decoy to what is coming. Population is blindsided. \n Won't be a Christmas either.. \nWait and see !\n Putin Elon & Trump are the world leaders like it or not.

Electricity shift be cut i mediately to every state that get electric power from Canada trump don't care about USA he love RusiA
