As an American, I say, thank you for standing up to Trump! We all pay the price for the fact that a bunch of fools thought it was a good idea to put an insane felon back in power.

Trump just gave out 4.5 Trillion Dollars on Tax Cuts for the Rich Billionaires & 1.5 Trillion Dollars Spending Cuts from the American people's entitlements to pay the bill. Taking The People's Money

As a senior American, I am with Canada and what they are doing. We have a singular problem, Donald Trump. The secondary problem is Republicans \nHave no spine. We all pay for this idiot in our White House.

Canada are lucky to have this president at this time. As for the American people, you voted Trump in and you are now paying the price.

The US has already tried the Tariff experiment.....\nTariffs in 30's by the US contributed to the great depression \nSmoot–Hawley Tariff Act. The Tariff Act of 1930 (codified at 19 U.S.C. ch. 4), commonly known as the Smoot–Hawley Tariff or Hawley–Smoot Tariff, was a law that implemented protectionist trade policies in the United States\nAnd obviously that didn't work, quite the opposite!\nDeliberate Economic Sabotage?\nSo much for Trump saying historically the American economy did the best under tariff policies\nTo make smart decisions you should also pay regard to history

15th generation Canadian here. We don't hold the Democrat voters responsible, but we hold all whom didn't vote, and the MAGA's responsible, along with Hair dRumph. You have awakened a beast, and now you will pay attention and feel the pain, if you haven't already. Canadians have been boycotting all things American for months now. We have no desire to align ourselves with Putin-lovers anyway. It was nice knowing you. Au revoir. #canadaproud

I don’t think this is a big deal for Americans at all. This is their response for something that doesn’t affect us all that much. Stop making America the one who has to pay the expenses of everyone else. I support the tariffs and think even more should be done. MAKE NATIONALISM GREAT AGAIN.

You don't need to speak to us Americans directly. Our President already told your ass what's what. Now either pay up or let's get busy.

Trump is talking out of his ass. We are responsible for less than 1% of fentanyl. We pay more money to states than states pays to us. We helped with 911, their wars and their California fires. We invested Canadian money, & time & lost Canadian lives. When is USA paying us back ???? . \n\nTrump has sold USA to Russia. He is their puppet. \n\nThese tariffs will tank USA economy. \n\nCanada will be hit, but we will survive and thrive. \n\nTrump has united Canada. We will buy Canadian, support Canadians and create more Canadian jobs. We need to keep boycotting anything American. We need to raise prices to all products going to USA on top of tariffs & consider not selling some products. We need to make relationships with other countries who support Canada. We have pressure minerals, and oils. Let them figure out how to get them when Canada steps back.

Americans are going to start paying MORE for everything. Good luck!!!!?

As a proud and sane Canadian I understand most Americans are not in line with the current administration in this and I implore my fellow Canadians in joing me to remain respectful of our American friends neighbors and relatives. Please cheer for the American National Anthem and repect the American flag. Donald Trump and his phonies will pay for their stupidity. To all Americans please don't take retaliation personally, but it must be done to protect our Country and our sovereignty. Trumps tariffs have nothing to do with drugs and the border. It has everything to do with his insane dream of being the ruler of the world.

I hope every American voter who put Trump in the White House has to pay twice as much for everything they buy.

I think it was Margaret Thatcher during the Reagan administration the one who said, Americans are notorious about choosing stupid presidents. So, what to say about that? What I've heard from some of my friends is that they don't care if democracy is gone as long as their taxes go down. They want a lower income tax bracket. They're very single minded about issues. We'll see how we fair once you have to pay more at the pump, when the price of electronics go up, when produce and beef, pork, and chicken become unaffordable. Yes, the middle and upper middle class probably don't care, but the lower classes and the already poor are not going to be happy. Once people are hungry, then you'll see people on the street. Once the farmers start losing their farms and small businesses start losing their investments, you'll see people on the streets. Americans are not hungry enough yet. Just wait.

A very impressive leader, US can only dream about this kind of president. US elected an idiot into the WH who is kissing Putin's ass. Americans will regret this when they pay with food stamps for their groceries (if Elon does not take that away too) or stand in line in the soup kitchen and can not pay their mortgage or rent and move into their junk Winebego

It’s NOT Canada…. It’s Trump!! Trump still thinks Canada pays the Tariffs, where actually American Purchasers will pay the Tariffs! Trump is STUPID!

He was and has always been a weak leader. They took advantage of Americans and we are clapping back by our elected leader. Time to pay your fair share. #51

As a American I stand with Canada f trump vans and musk make them pay

Apparently, tariffs are too complicated for the Russia-complicit President of the United States to comprehend. That and other psychological evidence are grounds for removal and Americans have the clause to do it in Article 25. But oh no. Their right-wing fascist cult is too fearsome for Republicans in Congress to grow a pair and stand up to the madness. Wimps! Simps! You will pay a very high price.

You need to realize what Trump's real agenda is. All he really wants is money. He wants to make himself and his rich buddies richer. His plan to do that is to cut government spending radically, and impose a sales tax to fleece American consumers. Once he's got the cash flow the way he wants, he will cut corporate tax and capital gains tax so that his companies and his investments can make a lot more money and so can his rich buddies, while still being able to pay off his lackeys in the senate and congress. That's it. It is that simple. Everything else is a distraction to make the media forget his real plan.

We do not choose as allies those who jail truck drivers and preachers for exercising their rights of free speech and religion. \n\nCanada is not a democracy and it is not friendly to the American people in its present state. Return freedoms to your people, pay the entire amount of your arrears to your military budget as per your NATO membership and shut down illegal immigration and drug trafficking at your border and even the trade balance then we can talk.

So Americans want to give money away because Canadas president doesn't want to pay 25%. Americans just got lazy and want other countries make their stuff instead of doing it themselves and making the price lower.

take back everything you instated for trump with border security and let them deal with there own drug problems... and start refusing american goods at the border... tell them we only pay a set amount or send it back! when the US asks why we did it we can tell them it was to cover the costs of tarriffs that trump thinks the government pays... well lets make his words ring true at their expense!

why aren't u concerned about Americans having to pay such high prices when they were told inflation is not what the Fed wants

trump IS NOT A SMART PERSON I DISAGREE THIS IS WHAT SOME OF THE AMERICANS PEOPLE VOTED FOR NOW THEY ARE GOING TO PAY FOR PUTTING A MAN THAT'S INSANE IN THE WHITE HOUSE. I STAND WITH UKRAINE AND CANADA.

This is not an American Govt. It's a Maga Govt. Bought and paid for by corrupt billionaires who will one day pay a price for their crimes against America. 70% of us stand with our allies.

Terrorist don't affect governments they affect the people that's why Trump blew it and made another fucking stupid mistake the Importer pays a higher price he turns around and just raises the price to the American Consumer people not even knowing really how much they got raised but they usually toss in a little bit extra and then blame it on the government that's how dumb this is

Let us be crystal clear, what's happening now, from abandoning alliances, to siding with adversaries, to starting trade wars with our largest trading partners, is the fault of a single man, Donald Trump, while being enabled by Congressional Republicans.\n\nMake no mistake, American businesses and consumers are going to pay a dear price for the decisions of this administration.\n\nLastly, trade is the remit of Congress from a constitutional perspective. Unfortunately, Congress has progressively ceded their authority to the Executive over the past decades. They simply must retake their power at the earliest possible opportunity.

Trudeau is protecting Canada and Canadians. Felon Trump is destroying America and Americans. I stand up for Canada. We Americans will pay the price of Felon Trumps actions .We will stay strong. Call your legislators ,

Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their Republican allies should pay for this. Donald Trump can’t do this to Canada nor Mexico. I don’t want to pay higher prices. Donald Trump needs to be removed from office immediately. We Americans need to do more protests against Donald Trump, JD Vance and Elon Musk.

I know americans that dont support trump will have to pay for this but its time to BOYCOTT america everyone... unfortunately this is the point that needs to be proven. the world doesnt need another dictator. I fully Support Canada!

I just don't stand with Canada. I stand with any country he's bullying. Yes, it's true that countries should pay their fair share of things, but this knucklehead is going over the top... letting an immigrant Elaine musk (who voted for him)take American jobs from the people who voted trump in (how you like him now) and align our country with one of satan's best men vladimir POOTIN ... I'd like to be at the gates of heaven when trump and pootin arrive & get turned away

the first consequence of this tariff war is that both Americans and Canadian citizen will pay more for their products. This will raise inflation in both sides.

Those 25 % tariffs is gonna payed by the American people ,..dumbass Trump !!

Americans ALL lost the 2024 election. Our friends and allies are attacked and insulted and our ideals are trampled by swine. ALL our children will pay this price and more.

It is said that if America imposes a tarrif on Canada, then Americans will pay more for Canadian goods. Possibly electricity too. Now, if Canada mirrors the actions of the US, then Canadians will have to pay more for American goods. So we are all just hurting ourselves in a way. Don't you love modern leadership? I suppose it's better than dropping bombs. But it's vile.

There you go America !!!\n\nListen to a Strong, Young, well Articulated Prime Minister tell you how Americans will pay the price on thos trade war.\n\nWe Canadians will also pay the price, so we buy Canadian products \nand will never buy US again.\n\nI am so proud of our Prime Minister.

Who the hell do you think you are pay your portion secure your borders and shut up we as Americans don’t need an outsider warning us of what our president chose to do. We voted him in office based on his ideas and what he had set in play. This is the Democrats Democrats are communicating with you people this is bullshit move on or pay up.

This is a serious look and they do mean business. American consumers will pay, yes that's you!

This was all started by Trump who is cozying up with Putin. Watch out Americans. You’ll be paying the price for the MAGA vote. ??????

Trudeau should have told you REPUBLICAN idiots exactly what Dipstick Trump is doing! TRUMP is doing the TARIFF thing to make up for all the TAXCUTS he is giving the RICH (taxcuts which NO average US taxpayer will receive) and now YOU are going to pay more for everything! Just remember, Canadians will still get the same amount of money from the sale, BUT the price to all of YOU will be 25% higher. You MAGA AMERICANS need to have your 2 BRAINCELLS talk to each other instead of complaining about anyone of color, sexual preferences or ideas that are different to yours

Donald probably hasn't stepped foot in a grocery store in his life. The MASSIVE inflation on commercial goods is a TAX disguised as a tariff. He knows it'll cost Americans. \n\nHowever, moment millions of people in the US begin losing jobs and begin rioting, he may pay attention.\nHow Americans aren't protesting in the streets right now is mind boggling to me.

Great speech, Mr. Prime Minister! Meanwhile, figures like Trump, Musk and their friends are raking in huge profits, leveraging their influence to e.g. steer stocks in their favor. For them, it's nothing more than a high-stakes reality gamble—at every level. And in the end, it's the American people who will pay the price. Best regards from Germany...

This idiot already quit, no one is listening to anything Trudeau has to say. Tariffs on the Americans only costs Canadians more, tariffs on Canadians make Canadians pay more. So you see, Liberals have to go, then tariffs go away. CANADA CAN NOT SURVIVE WITHOUT AMERICAN MARKETS LET THAT SINK IN. Cancelled pipeline, not paying up in NATO, not stopping drug flow, not fair in trade to the USA 200 billion in difference, you see the Liberals are in panic mode and its all their fault starting with his word salad speechs that mean nothing.

American goods account for 25% of Canada economy while theirs is only 5% for us Americans. We’ll be fine, AMERICA first no more handouts time to pay up.

Wait… I thought tariffs would hurt American consumers… that’s what all the liberal media outlets said. You mean, it affects the leader of another country too?? Why would JT be mad about American consumers paying more for Canadian products??? Someone must be lying?? could it be the liberals?

Ask yourself what happens when Americans can't get oil and gas from Canada? Are they going to use their own reserves.....no. But guess who else has oil and gas? Russia. Who bailed out Trump every time his businesses failed.....Russia. Trump has to pay back Russia for all the times they bailed him out. Watch and see if he tries to make a trade deal with Russia.

I AM CANADIAN WE LOVE AND GET ALONG WITH ARE AMERICAN FRIENDS BUT YOUR LEADER MUSK SORRY I MEAN TRUMP ARE THE BAD GUYS TRUMP WILL LIE TO JUST TO SAVE HIS SOUL FOR 8 YEARS TRUMP HAS DONE NOTHING BUT LIE TO YOU AND THE WORLD FOR SOME REASON MANY AMERICANS LISTEN AND BELIEVE TRUMP MOSTLY MAGA VOTERS EVERY BODY WILL PAY THE PRICE BUT NOT TRUMP MUSK AND ALL THERE RICH FRIENDS THEY ONLY WANT TO CONTROL EVERY THING TRUMP IS ONLY ABOUT MONEY THATS ALL HE WANTS THE TIME HAS COME FOR THE WORLD TO STAND UP TO TRUMP AND THE GOP, TO THE GOP IF YOU ARE AFRAID OF TRUMP QUIT

For example, if whiskey costs $1,000 and a 25% tariff is imposed, the price would increase by $250, making the total cost $1,250. The burden of this tariff is usually passed along the supply chain, meaning American consumers will pay higher prices for those goods.

Trump is a lunatic he’s gonna pay for the well being of Americans

Americans will pay globally for their clown president. Vote for trash, you get trash to clean up.
