The rest of the world should put tariffs on america that will hurt them ?

The orange face Nazi is truly trying to destroy the poor and middle class citizens of America and all over the world. \nTrump is a walking genocide. \nThank you MAGA you f”ing ignorant fool's.

America is in a sad state of crisis. That guy Trump has been in bed with Russia since the 80s. He’s been bought and sold from the beginning. \nTheir goal is to bankrupt America and allow Russia to move in and take over the world from here. They plan to separate and divide the American people with race wars and financial instability. We as Americans must stand together to fight against the oligarchs. \nThe racist Trump supporters do understand once they achieve their goal. You will be the new “N-word “ in the situation. \n\n#freeamerica

Maybe building a Boarder Wall on America's Northern Boarder would be a good idea. Canada is responsible to guard our boarders and allow in only those who we feel qualify. Canada does not close it's boarders to those who wish to leave, nor does the United States close it's boarders to those who wish to leave. The United States is free to put up a wall and a boarder crossing anywhere you wish, stop whoever you want to stop from entering your country. I can tell you that The fastest Boarder Wall that I have ever seen go up is the one that Trump just raised between the United States and Canada, the Tariff Wall. What you have done is put signs on our shelves, buy Canadian. You have taken American Product from the top shelf, to the verry bottom shelf, behind the Made in China. You have closed the Travel Agencies to United States travel, nobody wants to go to your country, and I heard that there is going to be a 250% Tariff on hotel accommodations for Americans visiting Canada. It is not only about the Tariffs on Canada, who Used to be your friends, it is about your new friend Russia, who support Terrorist organizations all over the world, including the ones in Gaza who held Americans Hostage, who supports IRAN who supports Russia in murdering and raping women, kidnapping children in Ukraine, torturing and murdering citizens with their hands tied behind their backs. If this is what America supports, if this is what America does to its Ally's, I hope the taps for the oil and the switch for the electricity are turned off, and we never have to worry about each other ever again.\n\nCanada is a country with an Area roughly the size of the United States, with a population 340 Million is 8 1/2 times larger than Canada at $40 Million, with a GDP 9 1/2 times larger than Canada. America is a Bully.

Crazy to see how relations have broken down between our two countries and sad for all my great American friends and thanks for your support but anyone with half a mind could see this coming. So many Americans, even republican voters, now waking up to the cold reality of a treasonous, mad president allied to a Russian mad man, isolating the US from the rest of the world. He was basically elected to repaire the economy. Ha! Nice going you orange freak. The stock market is crashing like a Trump casino. You bankrupt two casinos and now you are doing the same to America. Oh! and I hope you're listening to Trudeau's speech, this is what a real leader sounds like. CANADA STRONG AND FREE!!!

Ya see All of these Decades of bullying, plundering, colonizing, and imperializing other countries, Has finally caught up to the United States of America and it’s system. In 2002, the axis of evil was Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan. Now that the rest of the world is fed up with America and its colonizing bullying Ways, The nations are pulling together and moving on without the toothless fangless , Non-venomous snake called the United States of America. And there’s nothing that we here in America can do about it! SIGN UP FOR BRICS CANADA ! You’ll be just fine!

Canada must — simply must — join the European Union and, together with EU countries, create a defensive alliance. Every EU country should have the technology and capability to develop nuclear weapons, as well as nuclear weapons themselves. This would be the beginning of a new world. Unfortunately, America will drown in its own debt, but most Americans have chosen this path themselves, and they regret nothing!

Looking in from the UK Trump has just gone 100% rogue for the west and 100% for Russia. By splitting USA V Canada V Mexico trade which he signed of in his first term he has now supplied Russia with the split they wanted. USA power has always been the number of allies it has around the world now it is splitting from them and joining Putin which makes Putin very happy. America is weaker and that is just dandy for Russia China Iran and North Korea President Che will be moving forward with his plan to attack Taiwan and then watch America as it has no computer chips for all the industries tied to super computers cars planes ect.

The whole world watched live, when Trump lost his shit with President Zelensky the moment when VP VANCE started his attack on Zelensky by saying he hasn't said thankyou to America ,which is an absolute lie.\nAmericans are asking if President Trump is a Russian asset.\nTrump is 100 % a RUSSIAN ASSET . TRUMP WON HIS SECOND TERM BECAUSE ELON MUSK BOUGHT AND PAID FOR IT.\nBOTTOM LINE TRUMP IS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR BY MUSK AND OWNED BY RUSSIAN PRESIDENT PUTIN.\nTRUMP IS A TRAITOR AND DESERVES A TRAITORS SENTENCE.\nTrump is the ENEMY FROM WITHIN.

I'm a proud Canadian, and I'm very proud of our Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. We did not want this trade war, but we fully support it. We have been attacked and blindsided by our best ally and friend. Things will never be the same between us! Our former relationship is over. Personally, we have canceled a 3 week road trip to Florida, we will not buy american products in our grocery stores or pharmacies. You have made a big mistake, America. You will also suffer, as will we. But we are tough and stubborn. How dare your gov't try to wreck our country after how we stood beside you for 100 years through 2 world wars, plus Iran hostage crisis and 9-11, among other events. We will not forget what you have done to us. All this, while you kiss putin's ass. You are disgusting! ????????

Trump is absolutely destroying America as the world knows it, if that tyrant is not reined in, the people will suffer immensely, this is nothing but a manufactured crisis used as a tactic to demonstrate their power, and then solve it and become the savior of the people. Trump is the symbol in which the ultra wealthy elite and the fascists have concentrated their efforts, he’s a puppet of that oligarchy and someone who is subjected to a very obscure tie to Putin. What kind of information does Putin hold to exert that amount of influence over Trump? It must be something bigger than Trump’s mere admiration of his autocratic power…

I am so happy and proud to be a Canadian when I see our leaders behave like grown ups. America unfortunately has an orange face whackadoo behaving so immaturely. After he treated the UKRAINE PRESIDENT so badly. As president he should have a bit more decorum than what he displayed. He is the laughing stock before the whole world. IMPEACH!!!!!!!!

If you want to stop Trump in his tracks, if you want to teach him a well deserved lesson, boycott all American products coming into Canada and every other country around the world. Stop selling products to America, and ban Americans from coming into your countries.\nIn less than a month or even less you will have Trump on his knees begging you all. You want the bullying to stop?\nStop the bully.

Trump is the EMEMY WITHIN. DESTROYING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FROM THE INSDE. \n49 YEARS AGO RUSSIA CREATED A PLAN TO GET A MAN INTO THE WHITEHOUSE TO DIVIDE AND DESTROY THE UNITED STATES FROM WITHIN. RUSSIAS PLAN WORKED. RUSSIA FOUND THEIR MAN. THE ENTIRE WORLD KNOWS EXACTLY WHO THAT MAN IS.\nA SHOWBIZ LYING COWARD CON MAN CALLED DONALD TRUMP.

In America, no politician is allowed to have a vision that will benefit the people and the nation. The essence of America is to be consumed by corporate America until money chooses to leave the country when America runs out of incentives to keep it on its soil. As long as the purpose of America is to keep the dollar as a world currency and make it easy for business to operate on its soil, America politicians cannot make an acceptable proposition to the Americans left behind. America is a money making machine for corporate America and an indebtedness machine for the nation and its citizens. This love affair with money will sooner or later break the country. It is taboo to speak about the source of America's problems.

DO NOT GET RID OF MY INTERNET ( starlink )!!! not unless you have a better alternative for me to have high-speed Internet. \nTrump is trying to set himself up and America so that they are truly the only superpower of the world that needs nobody and no connection to any other country and they dictate everything across the globe. \nThat I suppose is one way of trying to do things, but it’s going to alienate the United States from the majority of the world, and will bring China closer to everyone else. And most obvious is these lining everything up for a civil war

Where are our past presidents? PResident OBama? PResident CLinton? President BIden? PResident BUsh? They still garner the title President. We need their collective wisdom and non-partisan leadership to intercess and stand up to the TREASONOUS machinations of Trump. OUR DEMOCRACY IS IN PERIL….Canada is our friend and confidant. TRUMP IS GUILTY OF TREASON! He is single handedly dismantling decades of peace, goodwill, friiendship and above all SAFETY with our French Canadian neighbors. America is in serious trouble. CNN a you have a responsibility to use your far reaching platform to seek out the opiNions and diplomatic aid of our surviving better presidents. They possess the hardwon wisdom and experience to engage with world leaders and our senators…..\nPlease take a stand. These are scary moments. TRUMP IS GUILTY OF TREASON!\nHELP! SOS! ⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓

Prime Minister Trudeau when you start out your speech please stat half of America wants to have a trade war with us: because the other half of Americans does not want to have a trade war with Canada. I have been to Canada a hundred times in my lifetime since I live close to the Canadian border and I've always respected Canadian sovereignty also, that Canadian is our best partner and friend. Keep calling out TRAITOR TRUMP, the MAGA ACOLYTES and the so-called Republican party GOP that PLACE Putin over Canada. I don't know what Putin has over TRAITOR TRUMP or how much vested interest TRAITOR TRUMP is getting from Putin. The Canadian border is the largest undefended border in the world. To our mutual friends sorryl about this AUTOCRAT.

Starting a trade war with Canada weakens America. This is the real reason dt has done this. Hmmm, now which countries in the world would benefit from that? Russia? China? North Korea? My only question is, what are you personally doing to stop this president?

PEOPLE OF THE WORLD.\n\nHalf of AMERICA voted AGAINST the orange clown. WE DESPISE TRUMP.

Trump has declared war on liberal democracy in America and around the world.

I'm Canadian and I highly dislike Trudeau. But he is correct when he asks how do you negotiate with someone who wants to annex your country? I would suppose Trump supporters would have no problems with a hostile and aggressive foreign property developer targeting their homes. The world needs a strong America but you have lost your way. I fear the world is in for dark times

the time of america paying the bills are over. now its time the world to pay the USA bills.

World see America Atack Canada like Rusia ,UKraine!!but in a Economic wor !

Trump is going to destroy America's reputation and alienate it from the rest of the western world. He is quite simply a moron with zero political knowledge. Putins little puppet

Wow, Trump is good. Shook Canada to listen and work now. I am sure he has their attention, and an a few weeks, he will fix these tariffs. The point here is he is not playing any games with the world and he is putting America first best to work with then against America.

Talking about a REAL (world) Leader! My personal message to Mr. Trudeau... 'Why you leave at this critical stage?' We need leaders like you to stand up to this type of Clowns who jerk themselves off for power and dollar-bills. And to the biggest Clown of this (still) free world, I would like to say: Mister Clown... as you say, America First.. Do yourself a favour and built a huge wall around your last and dying power soil.. and make sure this time you pay for it yourself, so you have your isolated soil called USA all for yourself and your regretting voters with your trade traffic. Make America great AND ISOLATED again... and make the US dollar a welcomed item at the toilet around the world!

Trudeau is just hurting his own people, but I guess thats nothing new at this point. Candadian inflation will go up and America will not be greatly effected. If anything we can just import those same goods from somewhere else at a better price. Countries around the world are lining up to take these contracts as we speak.

Looking in from the out side I applaud Trudeau on his speech. But........ Canada needs the USA more than the USA needs Canada. Trump is who the United States elected by a majority. No games..... no fraud..... He IS THE Average large pickup driving, loud and rude American. He Is America and the rest of the world needs to take note.\n\n To be fair, in historical terms, the USA was created to be isolated and different than Europe. They went to War to become an independent country away from Europe. This whole idea that they follow Europe everywhere is only a small blip in history since WW2, they were never set up to be that.\n\n If Anything, the rest of the world should see there mistake in becoming so dependent on the USA. You should never put that much faith and trust in just one country.

The world has turned Conservative! America has spoken!

Wall Street is wrong. Trump is NOT smart.\n\nThis is what a real world leader looks like, what a REAL man looks like.\n\nTrump is putting the screws to the American people. He’s grab America by the pussy.\n\nIt’s disgusting. Turning us into an “AntiAmerca”does NOT make America great

.... Well I'll tell you what Trudeau,.... None of us people wanted these tariffs either... At least not the people who are sane... I don't even think the people who voted for Donald Trump wanted these tariffs against the rest of the world either....I really don't understand the sense behind it because this is not going to make America greater.... It's going to destroy the economy of America and whatever the country it is that he poses these tariffs on... He thinks this is a strategy for getting what he wants... But I'll tell you what, he may be shocked and sadly mistaken when he finds out that it might just backfire ...this is a very conceited attempt to get the type of economic condition that he envisions for his new Dictatorship over America....he has alienated United States from its allies in Europe as well as its allies here at home.... This is probably about as dumb as his treatment of Volodimir Zelensky that just transpired on Friday at the oval office...and that idiot Vance is the one actually that has started that little debacle....I don't know man I thought these guys had more sense than to do this kind of shit.... But see this kind of situation is not going to affect him or his billionaire buddies because they have so much money they can cushion themselves until the cows come home....these assholes don't have nothing to worry about except the American people finding an emergency way of getting his ass out of office unless he changes course on all of this... I don't know if he can be impeached or not... But it might be a smart thing to find out if it IS possible.... AND EVEN IF IT IS WE STILL HAVE HIS SITTING REPLACEMENTS STILL IN OFFICE AS WELL SO I DON'T SEE THIS GOING AWAY WITHIN THE NEXT 4 YEARS UNLESS HE COMES BACK TO HIS SENSES, AND POSSIBLY GOES TO A DOCTOR AND HAVE HIS HEAD CHECKED....\nDTheMadkat123\nFrom a borrowed phone \n....the only thing I really do support that he is doing is securing the border and dealing with immigration issues here.... That's it that's all I was hoping that he would really focus on being in the oval office, and possibly standing by Ukraine, and Israel during these evil days.... Buddying up to Putin is like the single most insane thing that has come from this as well..I just hope and pray that he comes back to his senses and backtracks on all of this shit.... Besides I like Canada House whiskey, and Canada Dry Ginger ale, and other products from Canada.... Stand strong Canadians, I love you all, and I hope we can make it through these tough times ahead...but obviously the road that we're traveling now there really is no guarantees is there ?? Lady can you shut the hell up and go back to what Trudeau is saying ??

All the drugs came from America destroying people lives all around the world,I would never live in America with my kids,robberies killing,drugs I live in Croatia and I can go out at night don’t have to look the house,car Im free.

Trump is a businessman, he is treating America and the world as his empire. This is the downfall of USA. God bless Canada andthe rest of the world who would be affected. Am a Filipino and am with Canada in this.

America helped the Free World in WWII...\nIt s time for the Free world to save America from fascism !!!\nThe mission of Trump that Putin ordered : blow up the Free World and democracies from inside !\nTrump wont succeed!!!\nThats our promise !!

I’m am Ukrainian Canadian and over the last few days I see how the new US government’s policy ruining everything we all believe in so dearly: democracy, friendship, helping shoulder to those who needs support against the bloody dictators, and firing thousands of people without cause who provided cybersecurity, guarded fairness of your elections… all being flashed down the toilet. And I watch it being replaced with bulling those who is bleeding, stabbing the friends and neighbors, singing praise to the war criminals charged for crimes against humanity with unlawful deportation and transfer of 20,000 Ukrainian children into russia. Children?! And I want to ask you a question: will you be a silent bystander watching the world plummet into the hatred, redivisions of borders and the rule of heartless convicted “deal makers”? I think I know who he made the deal with... And to those who voted for him: do you still believe this will lead you and your country to greatness?? One single fact that both Moscow and Beijing celebrate watching what’s happening should raise your eyebrows and question your decision to bring this man into power. Instead of making America great again the fight for saving America just began. God help you and all of us!

Leaders around the world should understand one thing and one thing only, the United States of America doesn't have any friends, it has interests, you already lost if you consider the USA a friend

I am ashamed of trump. This is all on him! Please world believe me Most Americans do not support this at all! I will still buy Canadian God Bless America and Canada ❤

Well said, Prime Minister. They are power-mad lunatics and don't care what anyone else says, but the world cares, and Canada has responded beautifully. America will pay the price and Putin will reap the rewards.

World only recognizes the power of money and economy , America is the largest economy in the history . America is not Charity to help other over its people interests . Thank you Mr. president Trump . I wish my country leaders love their country as you do to your country . Salute Mr. President Donald Trump

Canada, stand down. We can't fight America, lol. Especially not when the US is still the world's reserve currency ?

If Putin is a murder? Then so is America? So is Ukraine? So is Palestine? So is Israel? In the 1990 Middle Eastern war USA ? tried so diligently to destroy the WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRUCTION!! ?? killing so many innocent people calling them terrorists. What do we call this action? GODLY ? Everyone is trying to show their power through Global Politics that they are greater than others and trying to rule every country in this world before fixing their own. Trudeau has brought Canada to poverty in his so called successful 2 terms government. He should think before he talks or like Hitler he should rehearse his speech in front of a mirror before opening his mouth in public, it's a whole lot of crap coming out in public and losing his sane ability. ?

AGREE,what is this about definitely not the border !Trumps REGIME is trying to weaken Canada so he can Annex us!!!\nThat will never happen most Americans disagree with Trump more than half now after what has happened in the news lately!!\nThank you Mr.Trudeau for an eloquent,intelligent response to Trumps DUMB plan.After decades of good relations between our nations Trump has chosen Putin’s playbook\nCanadians and the world now are BOYCOTTING the once upon a time Ally Our neighbour America!!\nThis will not play out well for Americans Canadians or Mexicans \n??????

Canada has done nothing but put out propaganda. Canada is a Liberal country that interferes with our elections. Now if I want to know how to adjust my fake eyebrows or how to talk tough while having a small population and only one neighbor that happens to be an ally and the world's super power then I'll ask Trudeau and the Canadians for their input. In the meantime, their people don't work and the Canadians depend on us for their rights to the sea since they don't spend much on defense. America will win. Canada won't exist without America.

america PAY BACK YOUR LOANS. Canada has a real man leading their country, america has a sack off crap ? running it. trump has made the world hate america again??

Sounds like CANADA IS NOT CLOSING THE BORDER. AMERICA NEEDS TO STOP GIVING THE WORLD FREE MONEY.

america won't hold these tariffs for long, remember Canada is a commonwealth country under the protection of his majesty the king of uk, a trade war with Canada is effectively a trade war with the uk and its commonwealth, the uk and the commonwealth will not stand by and watch putin being mommy cuddled by trump, let that sink in the british commonwealth is the largest fighting force in the world, the king has invited trump to the uk am pretty sure the king will let him know, Canada and the uk is the special relationship not the u.s fact, god bless Canada and the United Kingdom

Trump is walking all of America into the lions den with no armor. He's the world's biggest useful idiot. But it's once he becomes the world's biggest useless idiot that scares me the most.

President Trump is the best that happened to people in the world. He is a peacemaker and he tries to stop the bloody clown from ukraine.God bless him,God bless America!

The tables have turned my friends... Buckle up, batten down... Trump is loyal to no one... America wasn't suffering for lack before this change of govt... Just look at their arms bill $$$... But Trump is like Freddy from elm street with the slashing hand... Slashing away at friends and foes... Yep, like Jason with the machete ... You short-termed memory voters unleashed the beast upon yourselves and the world... ?? Bravo... But a nation usually gets the leader it deserves, sorry to say.??
