I do not care trumps not throw stars into my maple syrup tree cause it will effect his drinking water. Very selfish old man he's not in it for youth seeing the future. Yet he has kids and there won't be a good future of healthy water upon putting that flag with stars into my red maple leaf. I think if dr. Louis slotin was alive he'd agree.

As an Indian, I totally agree with Trump because we are having same problem with Bangladeshi illegal immigrants.

President Trump is right I'm a Canadian and I fully agree trudeau legalizing drugs cause more then he thinks one way to stop it is to audit the comical companies to whom and why and are the a legally to a drug manufacture and so on and Canada has to reverse the legalizing narcotics (DRUG ARE NOT SAFE)

LOL. Trump didn't force anything. Canada had already agreed to the measures under Biden. Trump got played and he passed it off as a win and then the rest of the USA got played.

As a ??ian I TOTALLY agree with you! The ONLY reason our leading 'party' is attempting ANYthjng with securing the border is because Trump is making him! (SAVE for Alberta that is) Our premiere Danielle Smith used his tariff(s) warning to the positive and IMMEDIATELY put $$ into securing OUR border. The length we share between Alberta ad Washington and Montana!

Fact: Canada had agreed to increase border security before trump got into office.\nFact: trump's own border czar Homan admitted that they only made 14,000 arrests in the first 27 days and that puts them about 80,000 short of what Biden did last year. Lies! trump only used the border problems to get into power and doesn't care about anything else but power and money for the rich.

lol, Canada agreed to impliment this plan back in december, that's right, while Biden was president.... Canada's actions have nothing to do with trump.

With Trump running this country why would anyone want to even come here? I thought Canada was doing better at their borders as people I know going through their get such hassles. Weird. I only agree with one thing with this president not letting anyone here illegally, getting rid of the gangs and criminals and holding them accountable for their crimes.

Leaders here agreed 6 months prior to trump even being in office to beef up security at the border. No it was not trump. Please do actual research before spewing right rhetoric

I agree with Robert De Nero, Melanie and Baron should be deported, it would be a true test of Trump’s loyalty to the USA

I agree with Trump on this and women's sports,there's no hate,its just common sense, woke is broke,if it continues to get more ridiculous, were are poisoning future generations that are still too young to understand the power of social media brainwashing, that its normal, healthy just a appreciate life,and accept the dna,gender god assigned you.

I agreed with this Trump decision with his deportation program

More than the majority of Hispanics agreed. 54 percent Hispanic men voted for Trump knowing he was planning to dethrone Obama as Deporter-in-chief.

100% agree with the Trump administration on this.. men need to be strong smart loyal and not be thinking about wearing a dress and trying to to be something he is not

Amazing in contrast to years ago when Indian devotees made altars and effigies of worship of Donald trump, like a vedic god. Now trump burned in effigy. Narendra modi agreed to take indians back from America, so not to upset trade with trump and USA. Republican Vivek ramaswami had yelled to end birth right citizenship, to end h1-b visas for South Asian tech workers, then flipped with Elon musk, an illegal South African that violated his visa terms. Modi and Indian parliament can always kick out parasitic westerners and Americans in India in exchange.

As Indian ?? I will agree trump is not wrong in this case . This migrants are wrong . Atlest safely he is deported.

Why Trump agreed with the dictator Maduro. These people can be killed on Venezuela. Do they look criminals. The only criminal is the president.

I agree with Trump policy of deportation of illegal immigrants but don’t treated them like a hardcore criminals,

This is so humiliating for the entire country !!! US entire IT backbone is run by Indian Nationals and that's how Modi has agreed with Trump to dehumanize his fellow citizens.\nPathetic...

Trump says EU tariffs will ‘definitely happen’ as Mexico, Canada and China retaliate \nTrump takes softer line on UK, saying ‘I think that one can be worked out’, while Mexico and Canada vow levies and to strengthen ties with each other \n \nPhilip Wen, Léonie Chao-Fong and agencies \nMon 3 Feb 2025 03.57 GMT \nShare \nDonald Trump has threatened to widen the scope of his trade tariffs, repeating his warning that the European Union – and potentially the UK – will face levies, even as he conceded that Americans could bear some of the economic brunt of a nascent global trade war. \n \nIt comes as Trump’s tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, announced on Saturday, sparked retaliation from all three countries. Mexico and Canada have vowed levies of their own while China and Canada are seeking legal challenges. \n \nTrump said on Sunday night that new tariffs on the EU will “definitely happen”, repeating previous complaints about the large US trade deficit with the bloc and his desire for Europe to import more American cars and agricultural products. \n \nEmpty shelves remain with signs ''Buy Canadian Instead'' after the top five US liquor brands were removed from sale at a British Columbia liquor store in Vancouver. \nAsian sharemarkets tumble in response to Trump tariffs \nRead more \n“It will definitely happen with the European Union, I can tell you that,” he told reporters. “I wouldn’t say there’s a timeline but it’s going to be pretty soon.” \n \nTrump appeared to take a softer line on the UK, citing a good relationship with prime minister Keir Starmer while saying tariffs still “might happen”. “The UK is out of line but I’m sure that one, I think that one can be worked out,” he said. \n \n“Well Prime Minister Starmer’s been very nice, we’ve had a couple of meetings, we’ve had numerous phone calls, we’re getting along very well, we’ll see whether or not we can balance out our budget.” \n \nIn Canada, the department of finance published a list of US products imported into Canada that it will target with a 25% retaliatory tariff starting on Tuesday. \n \nThe list shows products that will be hit in the first round of retaliatory tariffs by Canada starting on Tuesday, and mounts to $30bn Canadian dollars’ worth of goods (about US$20bn). The impacted products include tobacco, produce, household appliances, firearms and military gear. \n \nCanada is also preparing for a second, broader round of retaliatory tariffs in 21 days that will target an additional C$125bn (US$86bn) worth of US imports. The second list would include passenger vehicles, trucks, steel and aluminum products, certain fruits and vegetables, beef, pork, dairy products and more. \n \nFILES-US-CANADA-MEXICO-CHINA-TRADE-TARIFFS<br>(FILES) US President Donald Trump speaks to the press after signing an executive order in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC on January 31, 2025. Trump is imposing steep tariffs on major US trading partners Canada, Mexico and China, with a lower rate on Canadian energy imports, said the White House on February 1, 2025. Washington will impose a 25 percent levy on imports from Canada and Mexico, with a 10 percent rate on Canadian energy resources, until both work with the United States on drug trafficking and immigration. Goods from China, said the White House, would face 10 percent tariffs.

Sheinbaum, in a statement on Sunday, said she will announce details on her government’s “plan B” as she insisted that Mexico “doesn’t want confrontation”. \n \n“Problems are not addressed by imposing tariffs, but with talks and dialogue,” she said. “Sovereignty is not negotiable: coordination yes, subordination no.” \n \n'Coordination yes, subordination no': Mexican president responds to Trump's tariffs – video \nSheinbaum and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau spoke by phone on Saturday after Trump’s administration imposed the new tariffs – 25% on goods from Canada and Mexico, with a lower rate of 10% for Canadian oil, and 10% on imports from China. \n \nTrudeau’s office said in a statement that Canada and Mexico agreed “to enhance the strong bilateral relations” between their countries. Canadian officials have had extensive dialogue with their Mexican counterparts, but a senior Canadian official said he would not go as far as to say the tariff responses were coordinated. \n \n“Now is the time to choose products made right here in Canada,” Trudeau posted Sunday on X. “Check the labels. Let’s do our part. Wherever we can, choose Canada.” \n \nTrump acknowledged the sweeping tariffs he has imposed on Mexico, Canada and China may cause “short term” pain for Americans as global markets reflected concerns the levies could undermine growth and reignite inflation. Asian markets, cryptocurrencies and US and European stock futures slumped in early Asian trading on Monday. \n \n“We may have short term some little pain, and people understand that. But long term, the United States has been ripped off by virtually every country in the world,” he said. day, Trudeau said: “We’re certainly not looking to escalate, but we will stand up for Canada.” However on Sunday evening, a senior government official from Canada briefing reporters in Ottowa on condition of anonymity said: “We will obviously pursue the legal recourse that we believe we have through the agreements that we share with the United States.” \n \nThe official said the Canadian government considered the move by Trump illegal and said it violates the trade commitments between the two countries under their free trade agreement and under the World Trade Organization. \n \n“If other legal avenues are available to us, they will be considered as well,” the official said. \n \nCanada is the largest export market for 36 states, and Mexico is the largest trading partner of the US. \n \nCanada and Mexico ordered the tariffs despite Trump’s further threat to increase the duties charged if retaliatory levies are placed on US goods. \n \nChina also said it would file a lawsuit against the tariffs. The imposition of tariffs by the US “seriously violates” World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, China’s commerce ministry said in a statement, urging the US to “engage in frank dialogue and strengthen cooperation”. \n \nFiling a lawsuit with the WTO would be a largely symbolic move that Beijing has also taken against tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles by the EU. \n \nThe commerce ministry also said the tariffs were “not only unhelpful in solving the US’s own problems, but also undermine normal economic and trade cooperation”. China has said it would take countermeasures to “safeguard its own rights and interests”. It is not clear exactly what form these will take yet. But for weeks Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning has said Beijing believes there is no winner in a trade war. \n \nLate Sunday night, Trump said he would speak with Trudeau on Monday morning and shortly after said he would speak with Mexico as well, although he did not specify that he would speak with Sheinbaum. \n \nBeyond the official response, people were already thinking of ways to cope with Trump’s decision, including by sharing suggestions on social media for alternatives to US products. \n \nCanadian hockey fans booed the US national anthem on Saturday night at two National Hockey League games.

Joseph Chua, who works as an importer, said he expects to feel the tariffs “pretty directly”. “I’ve always stood during both anthems. I’ve taken my hat off to show respect to the American national anthem, but today we’re feeling a little bitter about things,” he said, adding that he will start to avoid buying US products. \n \nIn the streets, people in Mexico were trying to absorb the announcement on Sunday, although some in the capital acknowledged that they were unaware of the measures. \n \nIn the border city of Mexicali, across from Calexico, California, some people were concerned about the wider implications of a trade war. \n \nDriver Alejandro Acosta says that he crosses the border weekly in his truck to deliver vegetables to US companies. He said he fears US businesses in the Mexicali Valley will no longer want to operate in Mexico and they will move to the US. \n \n“If they raise taxes on the factories here, jobs may also decrease,” he said.

I’m Mexican and I agree with Trump 100%. Send the illegal aliens that are criminals back! Then work on the other illegal’s.

25% is outrageously high. When it comes to the world economy, you don’t make waves. 10% should be max to start off with. I can agree with many of the changes Trump is making, but not this one.

I agree that Trumps tariffs are not high enough and I agree that they need to be one hundred percent

i dont agree with trump but if canada thinks they can play, then im game? screw tredeau. \n\nmexicos president is right tho? sorry mexico

Both Mexico and Canada have fallen into Trumps trap, if you do not see it, let me explain. Trump has been pushing for more manufacturing at home, for more oil drilling and for more rare minerals mining. He can impose those tariffs and either Canada and Mexico agree, or the do exactly what they just did, think they can win a economic war with the United States. See, Trump gets what he wants either way, they don't cooperate, Trump gives huge tax incentives to companies to start producing here in the U.S. which will in turn reduce the price of everything for Americans, see, if you produce it here instead of overseas, Canada or Mexico, we can pish for a huge increase in overall production reducing the costs to consumers, since the products no longer have to be imported. Like i said, sometimes i don't think the left has any brains left.

We the people agree with President Donald J Trump 100% percent

I don't like Trump but I agree with him on this topic. Why should America take on thousands of illegal immigrants? American people are doing it rough. Adding more people to the system is unsustainable.

Sorry, guys, but I do agree with Donald Trump. We need to do something about everyone coming into our country. Illegals into our country and I did say. Illegals, we should be supportive and even whenever they come into our country. They should have a job they should pay for their own food. Nobody gave me a handout. I want to know why I have to pay for them a hand out. American people are sick of it are just d*** right sick of I say send them back. Where they belong, we can't afford to get our own homeless off. The sthree we should be working on earth. Not anybody else but us. And I'm talking about no other country. We should be working on getting our homeless office. Detroit built more housing for our homeless people. Are homeless are poor people that need jobs too

I’m democrat I hate trump but I’m agree with him no trans in the army

I 100% agree with Trump on all transgender issues..

I totally agree with trump on this one. Kick them out of the military. Kick out women and weirdos too.

Trump keeping campaign promises across the board. I voted for this leadership. What you see is what you keep. Agree or disagree but don't shout at the moon.

I feel ashamed that CNN and Kaitlan Collins agreed to cover/advocate for it. *_THIS IS DISINFORMATION_*. \nTrump has fixed female sport. Trump is fixing sexual predators using female bathrooms and this also is a FIX. Period.\n\nIf the deaf and the handicapped don't complain about their military application being rejected, neither should some ADHD who have a mental incapacity to accept the gender they were born with, because they will stir commotion in a place where order is required.

Your average soldier is not going to respect a leader or want to follow a leader who used to be a man and is now a woman and Vice, versa! I agree with Trump and Crenshaw even though I don't Crenshaw. There is no room in the military for this BS. I served 10 years and this BS is nothing more than a huge distraction. You have people who were going in just to get the operations. They spend 4 years in the military changing gender on tax payers dime. Out of the whole 4 years they may be deployable for about 6 months and that ain't all at the same time. When I was in this stuff was not an issue! They were not allowed to join and neither were gays.\n\n Think about it everyone is so bent out of shape over sexual assault well if you take a couple of gay guys and put them in an infantry unit they are going to look at all those men the same way a straight guy would look at all the girls if he was dropped off in an all girls collage. Nothing but problems and issues the military doesn't need!!! Seen it first hand back then when it was not allowed. Incase no one noticed military recruitment is down to dangerous levels! Doesn't anyone wonder why??? This post is why. No one wants to be part of a wishy washy military. It's to easy to get hurt or killed when things are running normal! Throw all the gay and trans BS in there and it just F**ks up everything!\n\nSo for 4 years they are almost always on lite duty, they are getting paid and getting the operations then at the end of their enlistment they walk out of the military the opposite sex they came in with and the American taxpayer is hundreds of thousands of dollars down for every one of these fools!!! This is what the democrats did!!! Join the Army and change your sex on us!!!\nNo place in the military for these fools. I feel that anyone who wants to change their sex is mentally ill!!! I have no desire to change into a woman and if I did I would think something was wrong with me and go get help!!!

I don’t agree with Trump on a lot of things but his totally right about this issue. No trans in the military

Sorry, President Donald Trump, is correct. transgeners do not belong in the \nmilitary. I had 2 brothers serve in the military and they agree they do not belong.

I'm no Trump supporter whatsoever I honestly think the man is Despicable but what Democrats need to realize is this was one of the main reasons they lost the election there's a lot of people that just don't agree with trans or lgbtq plus issues they don't they don't say anything because they don't want to lose their jobs or be ostracized but to be honest most people don't agree with this stuff

When is her hours getting cut....can't stand her, I agree with Trump on this

I agree with Trump, I’m not transphobic but commonsense must prevail.

Biden is out, TRUMP is in!!! Get with the program!!!! I agree with TRUMP 100000000000%

I’m black and not a Trump supporter but agree with him . I feel we straight men are been discriminated against these days . Stop forcing abnormal behaviors on our kids as normal behavior. Gay indoctrination by cnn n Biden wrong

The one thing i agree strongly with this guy even tho he is full of empty promises might get more done with congress on his side this time but too many immigrant in our country too my city is unrecognisable and i am serious its getten even a bit intimiditing tje hatred undercurrent in our city these foreigners hate our guts and its our country and we are called the hater its our help and support that is less and less our nhs overrun we sont get the services we arw due because there are too many immigrants in our countries it SIMPLE do not take ordainary people as idiots and produce all this flannel about being humanist charity begjns at home these are prinicipals our grandparents installed in us doesnt me we are unkinnd or wouldnt help anyone but tjeres a limit i feel intimidated daily by foreingers and im a hater for such remarks aye right who are you politicians kidding no wonder trump has such a following even tho i am not a fan of the man but he is bang on here

You know there's something SUS AF when even the country where these illegals are coming from dont' want them back. I don't like Trump, I think he's vile but I do agree with what he said about countries flushing their toilets on us. How better can you put it and confirm it when their own countries refuse to take them back.

I don’t agree with Trump sending the American ?? born immigrants back to Mexico ??. The Mexicans with citizenship should stay over here in the USA ??.

I'm of Mexican descent, and I agree with the massive deportations. I'm glad Trump is back.

THE TRUMP SHOW - Season 2, Episode 4. \n \n- Colombia has always accepted their citizens caught illegally in the USA and transported back to their country. In 2024 alone, Colombia accepted 124 planes carrying Colombian illegals deported from the USA. \n- Trump gets elected and has the next shipment of illegals sent back to Colombia treated as Teir 1 terrorists, with heads bagged, hands and feet shackled, and not given access to a bathroom. Colombia refuses them entry after being treated like that. \n- Trump talks tough on social media. \n- President of Colombia talks tough on social media. \n- Quietly, Trump agrees to treat deported Colombians as they were treated before he was elected. \n- Colombia agrees to take illegals again. \n- Trump's media touts this as a massive win for Trump. MAGA fans cheer on Trump convinced he put Colombia in it's place. Meanwhile, it was just a stunt to look tough.

Are there any of normal countries to enter without documents, passports on earth except united states? USA is doing right things such as any other countries for the border entering. I agree to trump and his government.

If I don’t agree with any other policies by Trump, I do agree that illegal immigrants must go!

0 minutes after imposing the tariff, Colombia agreed to take back their illegal migrants, and Trump removed the tariff. Why did CNN leave this out ?

I agree with President Trump. This is terrible
