Watch out for dumb Donald doing dumb things. What a joke for Chester Cheetto to get elected. What a black eye for the good American citizens embarrassed daily on the world stage by a complete stooge. What a travesty that our closest allies are forced to endure this clown and his circus. Such dark times.

another stupid game by USA, just as they did against russia, and failed in Ukraine...the USA is trying to smoke everyone out in Canada and Mexico, and make it one big country, with maybe Greenland scoop up later..Russia doesnt wont more land, just no missiles on its border, like USA didnt want them in Cuba...This world could really be something if we didnt have these old dudes from a bygone era, still wanting to be number one in the world, when we all live on the same planet...They are still scared of Reds under the bed..they have sycceeded in getting rid of Trudeau, he will be gone, just when he is coming to life...The USA is like a rabid dog now, they foam at the mouth thinking they are the leader of the west world, what a joke..they are all liars and cheats, and dont even tell their own public the truth..if only we all settled down and acted like good neighbours, how good the world could be

Trudeau your people are fleeing their county at the highest rate ever and you're going to threaten the US what a joke. It's the leftist that have lost touch with reality. ????

These tariffs are a part of Trump's revenge tour. Mexico didn't pay for the wall and Trudeau made jokes about him.\n\nThis has nothing to do with immigrants or drugs.

The fact the Canadian government knew it was coming and never went back to work for Canadians shows you how horrible the Canadian gov is. Now was the time to redeem a slice of integrity from our prime minister and he coward these last couple months, like he cowered to speak to truck drivers. What a joke he is

Ronald McDonald is a joke. Well done Trudeau, spoken and acted like a true leader ??

At this present time and in this current governmental climate, I do believe that changing a leader now would hurt Canada. Trudeau has first hand experience and has dealt with Trump and his tantrums, this isn’t Trudeau’s first rodeo. I am concerned with Trump antics another leader could be influenced with charm and falsehoods which Trudeau has already confidently stood up against.\nAnd for a moment, let’s think a little bit further out of the box. This isn’t about fentanyl as Prime minster Trudeau pointed out. This is about making life for Canadians extremely difficult and chaotic. It’s to bring division between the United States and Canada, and with Trump joking and jokes are not jokes sometimes they become reality Canada being a 51st state. Trump Being friends with Putin, with Russian ships in our Arctic Ocean think on this for a minute. Putin decided to invade Ukraine to expand his make believe empire. President Trump and Vladimir Putin working together. Hasn’t Trump said he wants Canada to be part of the USA and wants our Prime Minister to be a governor how insulting. How very insulting to the Canadian people who not just live in Canada, but are also united Canadians.

This guys a joke it doesn’t matter if he cuts taxes for us by taxing you all instead of Americans we get less tax stuff go’s up a little but we don’t pay as much tax jobs will increase pay because there will be more jobs here your president is a joke I don’t know why I even clicked on this click bate stupid cnn

Common man, Trudeau is acting like a kid, what is that ? Why did he respond to the raise of taxes ? \nFor me, he should be negocating with Trump administration's, he did not do enought, what a joke.\nI' am from Canada and I need Trudeau to go away ; may be Trump is doing this because Trudeau has done too much against Trump, we need a new administration to talk with Trump.

❤❤❤ stop the bully Trump !!! What a complete joke and embarrassment is Trump!! He’s an idiot Putins puppet!!

Watch out Trudeau, Donny might send his little boy JD to act tough and lecture you. \n\nVance and Trump are pathetic jokes of men.

Trump hates him because he got caught at G7 making fun of Trump with other leaders. Sometimes journalists are stupidly revealing a private joke and getting the revengeful deprived of humor Trump to go after him . Same with Putin going after Zelenskyy. Dictators have zero sense of humor because they take themselves way too seriously.

Trump is a joke to the world. Countries have realized Trump can’t be trusted. He has left America open to Russia, China and North Korea to take over.

This USA government is a joke trump making enemies with allies

What a joke - they say that the eyes are the gateway to the soul and all you can see are lies and darkness coming from him. This guy’s a fraud!

What a joke ????

Truedo is a joke, and ifcany if you stinkin lefties side with Canada yi should just move your traitoring asses their!!!!

This clown thinks the US markets are down because of Canada, what a joke. Mexico, Canad a s China together make up only 24% of the US GDP, in contrast Canada's is a 67% of their GDP, so if the US does buy from you, you my friend will feel it more. We stand with our president, American first.

Absolutely embarrassing to be an American these days. Trump has made us a joke on the world stage. Canadians get to have real leadership, we get to have a man-child with a fragile ego and zero critical thinking skills. God help us! ?

Imagine going on about how you supposedly care about the well-being of your citizens when you’re flooding the country with Indians. This guy is a joke.

The fact that you CNN choose this numbskull to get behind says alot, you guys can have each other. What a joke, seriously laughable!

Trudeau is a joke. Sit down weakling. We don’t need you for anything.

Trump takes his policies from old South Park episodes because he is a joke

Canda your country is ran by a joke. No wonder you're taxed so high

This guys a joke!!!!!

His a joke like all the politicians - no exceptions… talking about some numbers that doesn’t make sense… what a dirty way - to say indirectly to the American people to boycott their government ? trade war isn’t a war it call business - better than what any president that still support any people losing their lives in a nonsense conflict.

Trudeau is the epitome of what a failed leader looks like for a country. He is a joke and Canadians don’t want him.

Canada is a joke ?

Who benefits from this? him! he gets to blame Canada when American prices go up and his supporters will not need or want to hear the truth, they'll be willfully ignorant. If he genuinly admires Putin he'd love nothing more than a Belarus of his own to compare notes with at their little bromance dates! Sad thing is im not trying to make any kind of joke, i really believe he would love that\n\nI'm in UK. Stay strong Canada we love you. Swapping OUT any US products i Possibly can (family too). Also going to look for and swap IN any Canadian produts we can \n\ni cant find emoji flag on this keyboard but imagine Many Canadian flags, hearts a Welsh flag a Union Jack and even more Canadian

This man is bluffing \nHe's a joke

I’m ashamed to even call myself a US citizen. For the 78 million people that voted for trump, f*ck you to hell. I am so ashamed of this country. We’re a damn joke and I don’t have any pride in my US passport. This is so embarrassing.

VERY WELL SAID SIR, APPRECIATE YOUR CLEAR PLAN AND THE RATIONAL- IT IS SO SAD THAT WE HAVE SOMEONE WHO EEMS TO BE A JOKE- CLEARLY NO JUSTIFICATIO N IT WAS CLEAR FROM BEGINING IT IS APERSONAL GAIN NOT COUNTRY- NO FENTANOL- IT IS A JOKE THAT WE CANT EVE THINK A LEADER WILL USE AS EXCUSE

USA is a joke!

Trudeau is a joke....what an amazing uneducated man that Canada has....MAGA !

Most Americans do not want to support Canada with our tax dollars. We have had a huge trade deficit with them for decades and we are the only military they have outside of a bad joke with no punchline. Canada needs to support itself militarily and financially.

?Ok this is enough, when will we actually wake up? We don't need any type of war. We need a person who can be diplomatic. The Trump joke is over, he and his team needs to go. How much more will US lose?

He's such a joke! Blistering??? Ha ha ha ha !!?

Trumpism divides, isolates, and weakens the US, it’s too bad that once a well-respected and powerful peacemaking empire is becoming a pathetic joke to the world. And most people are sound asleep worshiping the clown, the dangerous entertainer. “When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn't become a king. The palace becomes a circus”

Trudeau is a joke. He did a terrible job for the Canadians.

This guys a joke, a well spoken puppet… remember Covid.

Michigander living in Louisiana (right now)—So embarrassed and ashamed of this country. Millions of us here in the US did NOT choose this administration—and we support Canada in its resistance, resilience, and continual rationality. I grew up very close to the Canadian border—should've moved up there when I had the chance. Open to Canadian marriage proposals! (Joking. (Sort of.))

Trump is a big joke

Trudeau is a joke and trump knows it. You simple minded Canadians think Trudeau cares about Canada? Then why in spite of implemented tariffs is he still jacking up carbon tax April 1st? Wake up

Can he be our President??? How can every other countries leadership literally call this new admin a joke, but we have people in our government who are supposed to be “smart” I say that sarcastically, support this madness. We in for some rough seas ahead and I’m a positive person!!

Trudea is a joke!! Pay your fair share Canada!!!

This is a joke right??

Born and raised in Canada here, 64 years old... American stuff is all over the place in this country... my Bosch D/W and washing machine are both made in USA... heck even our toilets are American Standard... and simultaneously we supply USA and ROW with high quality products that meet or exceed ASTM standards... so please do let us know how that Russian aluminum and steel works out because everything I've every seen from Russia is a fucking joke... there's absolutely nothing in my life that say Proudly Made in Russia because only the oligarchs are proud to be Russian.

Trudeau every intelligent and sane know this is not your fault! The branches of the American government have become a complete joke especially with this idiotic nazi administration that loves communism!

? This idiot actually thinks Americans are going to listen to him? What a joke!\nRemember, this is the guy who froze the bank accounts of trucker, simply because they were protesting. He’s a dictator wanna-a-be (but doesn’t have the strength or manliness to pull it off).

To erinhenry. I also refuse to call trump my president. He's a joke and a clown. He's not MY president
