Donald trump probably won't even listen to this speech, he doesn't give a fuck

I'm a canadian who usually agrees with Trump but in this case I feel like this makes no sense. Not sure exactly why Trump is doing all of this but deteriorating relations between us and impacting our economies in such a way makes no sense to me. The stock market is plummeting, jobs on both sides are at risk, prices on both sides of the border will go up. Btw my job won't be affected by these tariffs so i'm not speaking out of anger or fear for my job.

I like how Trudeau left out all the money we just hand over to Canada. America won’t be bullied anymore with Trump. \nFor all you Democrats, if you guys wouldn’t have paved the way with your “Woke” mandates on everything without civil discourse, Trump wouldn’t have been elected. Democrats showed him how to govern this way and he is not holding back at all. Trump is the fallout from the Democrats and we all will pay for it.

As an American, I fear for the future of the United States. I am appalled that Trump won the Presidency. I am appalled that people voted for him. I stand with Canada.

The people in this comment section are the reason why Trump won. Keep it up!

It was a mistake to try to placate Trump. He's a demented egomaniac and he's too dumb to negotiate with. Appeasement didn't work with Hitler and it won't work with this Nazi scumbag either. Canada has no choice but to make the American people suffer in the hope they will apply pressure on this senile, diaper-soiling idiot.

Just like last time, Trump will back down and claim he won! The damage Trump has done and continues to do...for no reason...is a direct attack on the USA. Trump must be removed and jailed!

Is MAGA saying trump won the “trade war” ???

MAGA is allergic to facts. Most of them won't see this because it won't be covered on FOX State Media. The next thing Trump will do is remove sanctions on Putin and his oligarchs. This was his plan all along.

I love how honest he is about it being tough, while Trump lies about how costs will go down even though they won’t. It’s unfortunate so many of my fellow Americans are uneducated in politics and don’t keep up with what’s actually going on

I guarantee that when Trump lifts the sanctions on Russia, there won't be any tariffs there.

Trump needs to be removed from office now. In just 2 months he has put our country in a tailspin, we won’t survive 4 years of his chaos

The real question is, will the American that will be affected by these changes stand up. Trump and the people in is circle won’t feel the effects of these tariffs. But the average American will. He ran on lowering prices, just to turn around and sing a different tune.. mind you it’s only the second month of his term. What will America look like in 4 years? Will there be an America in 4 years? The average American can’t afford a $400 rainy day. Many rainy days are coming our way..

I think Trudeau missed the memo on what reciprocal tariffs mean! By the way we don't need Canadas energy when they Say they're going to so-called turn off the energy to America that means literally nothing five minutes of research will tell you that the United States does not need Canadas energy! Absolute empty threat!\n\nBy the way to anybody in the comments section that doesn't know what they're talking about and just listens to cnn so far these tariffs have secured 1.7 trillion US dollars in just three months brought manufacturing back to the United States honda is now leaving their location in Canada and building in the United States same with American car manufacturers in Mexico. \n\nWe won and I find this so funny you guys are flipping out we have socalled Americans joining Canada's side just because they're anti Trump. absolute clowns!

Idiots won a political contest often feel revolutionary and decide to export it to other countries. Maoism, Leninism, Islamic Rev in Iran.. now Trump and Vance think they must correct EU and Canada and elsewhere as they think they are correcting US.

Good for trudeau. Trump is attacking his allies and his people cause he's a coward. He won't attack the real evil cause he's afraid. All he wants to do is make the rich richer. Why can't the people see it. This is how dangerous trump is.

President Trudeau- Thank you for standing to Trump when our own politicians won't. ❤

Now that's a leader! Canada hold strong. Don't bend to that orange moron. I know Canada won't be threatened. Trump thinks if you're decent and polite, you're weak. He will soon find out that he is very mistaken. Pathetic little bullies are historically weak. Your government does not want this but will not be pushed around. Trump is doing this to his own people. Hold tight and let the intelligent Americans rise up. Ireland stands with Canada.

I would say if you stop the flow of drugs into our country like Trump asked you to do and tighten up the border. There would be no problem whatsoever at all, but you say you’re an honest person and you want to get along with everyone well, just stop the drugs from coming in in East Terrace won’t be on there. Trump hasn’t seen any easing up on that border over there and things would be back to normal so it’s it’s sad he had to do that but then your retaliating and what does it do it does nothing yes Canada is gonna suffer and we’re gonna suffer here in the United States all because of your stubbornness and hardness I’ve seen over the years how you text the hell out of your own Canadian citizens and that’s why they don’t like you there, but that has nothing to do with it so

Our PM is right; the end goal is to cripple Canada economically so Trump can take our resources and territory. I am saying Trump intentionally. I know the vast majority of Americans don't want this trade war but if you think Canadians are just gonna lay down and take the abuse, you're high as a fucking kite on your own fumes. We won't got down without a fight and Canadians know how to fight dirty.

Threatening Trump and America won't benefit, table talk will help. Can Canada sustain in a real fight (economic) with the US?

Chile PLEASE! How is THIS “blistering”? Nah. Just facts. And I’m almost CERTAIN that this isn’t the FIRST time Trump heard someone call him a dummy. And trust that it won’t be the LAST. Also facts. I’m just sayin’.??

As a white american, I speak for all americans when I say trump won. 4 more years! 4 more years! 4 more years!

Trump wants a weak America to be easy taken by Russia for his Russian friend! Many Americans are stupid they won't know whats going on! A lack of education in America! True!

Here's my advice. Get as far away from Trump's influence as possible. He's unstable, chaotic, and easily influenced by his ultra-right wing advisers Musk and Vance. That won't change. The whole world needs to isolate him. He is COVID25 !

I believe that very soon that the American people rise up and won't stand for Trump craziness.

Prime Minister Trudeau, your stats and evidence are clear but they won’t move Trump because facts make no difference to him!

Please, please, please cut the power! Republicans don't care about anyone but themselves. Unless they personally are affected, they will NEVER change! We need Trump OUT OF OFFICE, that is the ONLY way to know we all won't be playing this miserable game week after week for 4 years!!!

As a U.S. Army veteran who proudly served this country, my love for America and unwavering respect for the Constitution drive me to speak out. What Trump did in that meeting with Zelensky wasn’t strength, it was weakness disguised as tough talk. Pressuring Ukraine to negotiate from a position of desperation only empowers Russia and signals to the world that U.S. commitments mean nothing.\n\nTrue leadership isn’t about catering to dictators or throwing allies under the bus. It’s about standing firm for democracy, national security, and the principles this country was built on. If we let billionaires and politicians treat global conflicts like a business deal, we’re betraying everything generations of Americans fought and died for. I won’t stay silent while our country’s integrity is sold off for personal gain. America deserves better.

Trumps strategy is to replace income tax on the wealthy, with taxes on goods for everyone, including poor people.\n \nLower income people will pay a higher portion of the tax for the nation, while the wealthy will get a massive tax break. \n \nMost of the lower income people who support Trump won't know how tariffs work, but they will be OK with it as Trump convinces them that the tariffs are hurting someone else even worse.

51st. State????❤Trump,make canada the great 51st. Canada is not free or affordable and won't ever be until they join the greatest country in the world, AMERICA. ?

Trump has no idea what he’s doing and it’s going to become clear. Miller is right, Canada won’t flinch, but there’s no going back and we now have to grow new alliances and make massive investments to insure our security.

She didn't win shit he won the medals trump says she gone you mental nutcase

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.

The libs still wonder why Trump won...

Why are they still coming and TRUMP is in office.. They won’t get no more FREEBIES????

If Kamala became POTUS the US would be looking like europe right now. Rampant stabbings trrrist attacks rppe gangs etc. Thank God Trump won. Say NO to Islam.

So many people miss the main problem here. Trump is all show. The enabling, assisting, harboring, etc. of illegal aliens is a federal crime. I have yet to see ONE arrest of a governor, mayor, corporate lead, farmer, etc. It won't happen. Trump is weak.

Send them all back to Canada and tell Canada, you said your country is so much better than America, so why are these people leaving and try to come to our country?\nAlso ban people from Canada from coming to the U.S who said if Trump won, they will go to Canada. Ban them for four years. Let's make a honest human being out of them.

I have been watching you for a long time. And there is always a point you are not addressing in most of what I have heard. You will probably laugh at what I am about to say but please hear me out. The progressives running the policy’s do not only hate America for whatever reason, they hate God. They might not say that and even rebuke anyone who thinks that. I’m not going to get into that, it’s a whole Nother subject, but Jesus said those that hate good or worship being a false Jesus, even though they think they’re worshiping the true God. They are not, and so therefore they are what the Bible says, our worshiping a false God, who is the god of this world who was Satan. Now after saying that I would say that you can see that in their action. Anyone who wants to debate what’s going on in New York City on the side of correcting the problem has a point of view. But the ones that wanna keep these loss in place cannot justify any of their actions in debate that makes sense. They are liars and are following the father of lies and that’s all there is to it. The problem will not be fixed in your city until you having a big turnaround of leadership. People who are accountable to this constituents. People who love this country, not hated. Only a satanic group could hate this country that gives them every opportunity they could ask for. If you asked them, would they want to live in any of the other countries in the world they won’t answer you they will get part from the question and they will call you a miss information White supremacist or if you’re black a uncle Tom. They have an answer for anything good because their father is no other than evil. They get their playbook from evil. They can’t stand to be around any success. And one last thought. Joe Biden was ruled by evil. He opened the border on purpose to destroy this country at the same time. He was making millions from our adversaries. His actions have proven it over and over, but yet he’s not persecuted for the crime he committed. After you have a president that has destroyed America in so many ways. And the people that hate America love him. But he is gone now so they have to fight harder against Trump.\n Don’t have to mention any of the religious stuff in any of your segments, but at least keep that in mind so you have a clear picture and keep up the good work.

Hay cash Jordan NY Hour ur the best thanks be to ALMIGHTY GOD Trump won stay safe Debra Logan in Waterbury CT

Sane New Yorkers must, I say must, unite, rise up and take the strongest stand against their politicians and dim-whit voters! If they're in agreement with this insanity & rebellion then cut this state off from all federal funding and let New Yorkers pay for these illegals all by themselves. I don't want my tax dollars paying for any illegals. Especially when there are so many Americans living on the streets and/or not even getting by with this failed & fraudulent economy the Democrat Party has given us. Democrat voters aren't being kind and compassionate by wanting them here. They are enabling these people and by doing so, preventing them from growing up and raising their consciousness into a higher state of mind. By wanting to protect criminals, pedophiles, rapists, murderers, thieves, violence and rebellion from being deported, they're displaying for America they're psychology/consciousness of a death wish. This is a psychology of death and failure!!! The Democrat politicians and voters didn't vote for President Trump's agenda but the vast majority of We the People most certainly did. Chuck Shumer, Maxine Waters, all Democrat politicians and Democrat voters, YES, WE DID AND WE WON THE BATTLE!!! \n\nThese illegals are not weak and needing help. They're now uniting, protesting and waving their country's flag against their deportation, which they absolutely have no rights in America to do so. They have no rights here!!! That takes gall, audacity showing their rebellion against American voters and an unreality in their third world psychology to believe they do. We have been forced to deal with this abusive, violent third world psychology for far too long. They have a strong willpower so return to their country, unite there, raise their flags there and rebel against their corrupt government! They don't belong here as they don't have America's vibration. They just continue demanding and taking America by violent force. They are using and abusing tax payers' money and their goal of turning America into their violent third world hellishness must stop now! When they want to become part of America, get in line and make application in our legal immigration program. These illegals do not rate higher than those who are coming here legally!!!

Thank god Trump won.

So happy Trump is back \nThis would've gotten worse if Kamala won

Trump is moving fast....before the mid-terms! He knows that controlling the House/Senate won't last forever! Thank God he was elected!??????

As a Canadian, I support any measure Trump places on Canada. There's a lot of Canadians, who are not willing to bend the knee to the Trudeau government, even if it means some pain. We are so sick of Trudeau and his NDP coalition government. Canada is struggling to get rid of this government and to let you know how bad it is, we are about to have our first ever 'UNELECTED' prime minister. He won't last long but it does really feel like pure unadulterated Authoritarianism.

You'll give too much credit to Trump it's the people who puts is there life on the line stopping these people. Cuz you privileged as Republicans won't do it you talk all kind of shit you want everyone else to sacrifice for you play the day is coming that everywhere you depend on is going to turn on you I'm going to realize their value. And I'm not talking about migrants illegals

When the day comes that it is proved it’s not working, which it won’t cause trump and doge will not send my any mo funding. They r breaking laws and r done getting funding. So how does my plan on paying? Halarious
