Trump is shameful his dosen't even care about the American people here. It seems like his doing this for Putin l don't know if it true. His acts like Immature bully, but that doesn't make him a strong leader weak instead.

I completely agree with what trump did. He’s doing an amazing job! Funny that Trudeau is trying to put forth the same false narratives as our Democratic Party does. You can tell that he def watches cnn and MSNBC. \nThe American people don’t like you Trudeau. Your own people hate you too. You’re a tyrant. What you’ve done to the Canadians is sick. Especially with taking away free speech and jailing people for hateful speech. \nYou people in Canada actually give heroin and cocaine to people who want it at certain safe injection sites. Don’t try to act like you’re really about stopping the drug flow.

This has nothing to do with fentanyl, he wants to take over Canada. So this is Trump having a pissy fit because he didn’t get his own way. Donnie, put your big boy pants on, and act like a grown up if you can.

Trump is acting insane! \nAnd he’s letting his authoritarian tendencies show!

I'm a Canadian and Justin Trudeau stepped down as our leader but that buffoon instill going around acting like he speaks for Canadians when HE DOESN'T. His party has suspended our parliament because the where going to be forced into an election so they are up to their old scams and trying to put a globalist corrupt pos to replace him. We wish we had a real leader like Trump and if the liberals find a way to steal this election that is coming sign me up to become the 51st state

Don't get it, twisted, Trudeau. You've been screwing Canada over for 9 years, so why do you suddenly care now? You and Carney, and your gimp guilbeault with your carbon tax and doubling of rent and mortgages and groceries has been hurting Canadian families, but now Trump is doing this, and you're acting like a hero or are you just jealous because somebody else is beating on Canadians instead of just you, or is it because it's going to leave you with less of our tax dollars to launder?!

The Drug Fentanyl is coming into the USA because Americans want it to come in .\n. America would be better employed finding the reason for people to need this narcotic .Maybe it's because your . society is so unfair, maybe it's because you have so many people without money, possessions, education and opportunities . Maybe it's because you don't look after your sick and elderly and UNDERPRIVILEGED.. Trump should not blame other country's HE SHOULD ACT LIKE A REAL LEADER . And show leadership AND focused on improving the well-being of all citizens.

An ex-KGB chief: “In 1987 I worked in… the KGB of the USSR in Moscow… our department recruited the 40 year-old businessman from the USA, Donald Trump, nicknamed “Krasnov”. That’s when Trump starts buying full-page ads attacking NATO. “Putin is doing a great job of outsmarting our country.” He says. Steele report: Russian operatives gathered damaging video evidence of perverted sex acts of presidential candidate in 2013, for blackmail. Mueller said “There were multiple, systematic efforts to interfere in our election.” Trump campaign had more than 140 contacts with Russian operatives, and Trump attempted to obstruct justice at least ten times. Campaign chair lied about then finally admitted to sharing info with Russian spy. Trump, ignoring US intelligence said: “…Putin, he just said it wasn’t Russia. I will say this, I don’t see any reason why it would be.” Secret meeting in Trump Tower with Russkies. Jared attempts to set up secret back channel to Russia in the Russian embassy. Trump to NATO member on prospect of Russian attack on their country “In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.” Trump: “If Putin likes Donald Trump… That’s called an asset…” Yeah, a Russian asset. FBI chief Kash Patel was paid $25,000 to appear in anti-FBI video by Russian backers. “The love in the air, I’ve never seen anything like it” Trump said of January 6 rioters, some of them cop-killers… “Russia if you’re listening…” “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily…” Yes, they own a seditious, treasonous felonious American president. All allegedly…

Goodness gracious this is insane why is President Trump acting like toddler having bad tantrums even if this gets resolved it will leave sour taste in Canadian and likewise American

I am a geography teacher here in The Netherlands and showed the Oval Office clip to my students. My students were also stunned about the way Vance and Trump acted. America is really isolating itself.

TRUMP IS NOT MY PRESIDENT PERIOD. TIME WE ACT AGAINST THESE RUSSIAN TROJAN HORSES THATS INTENTIONALLY HARMING OUR COUNTRY

My President was once a person I may have not agreed with. But, I stood by my government’s decisions and supported my president’s policies. This is a message to you my President. Trump…your acting impulsively and need to stop acting like a child.\nStop supporting the Russians and stop this madness.

You are an excellent neighbor Canadian. This trade war is thoughtless and stupid. As usual trump is spreading lies to justify his acts, but this will hurt the American people as much as it hurts the Canadian people. The Wall Street Journal got it right. Trumps idea is wrong.

Trump pushes away all US friends, he acts like putin's stooge

As an American I ? percent stand behind what Canada is doing tRump and his traitorous cabinet need to be removed from office immediately. They are not acting in the best interests of Americans or our allies.

Stop acting surprised by Trump's actions and treat him as the Russian asset traitor he is. Impeachment does not work, stronger action is needed to save our nation.

Another GOLDEN TRUMP ACT?

Trudont is a strait nazi.\nHe literally closed Canadians bank accounts due to choice and religion. \n\nTrudont is acting like he didn't know about teriffs....Trump announced them last week.\n\nAs an American tax payers! Id rather do without than to be threatened by a nazi.\n? to Trudont...

I am so sorry Canada and most US people that are against this TRUMP is a revenge filled senial acting nut who is being handled by Putin

Trump just wants Trudeau to act like a man. Since that's not possible, the beatings will continue.

What these dum dummer dummest Donald gramps Trump POTUS has done, is an act of trade war which is going to destroy America and American Citizens. This Punk is going to ?%+ totally destroy American economy.

In here, Canada, whines and cries about the tariffs all the while they continue to allow this because they are funded by a bunch of criminal organizations who are also unloading methamphetamine into our country. Iran and China are deep in the drug organizations within Canada and they are finding a lot of donations throughout the country in order to gain Influence. I stand with Trump. I think that there needs to be a 25% tariff immediately until Canada starts really doing something instead of just acting and talking about what they’re gonna do.

How is this not the invited invasion by the treasonous lying bribing accusing scheming FELONIOUS acting FAKE PREZ JB AND FAKE VP SCAMALA HYENA. HARRIS .trump should have fake prez and VP SCAMALA HYENA HARRIS indicted

December 2024, Canadian Parliament approved a plan to secure their border with the US.\nJanuary 2024, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dismissed the Parliament and delayed the election of a new Parliament until March, giving him 3 months of carte blanche. One of his first acts was to cancel the plan to secure their border, claiming that it was too expensive.\nFebruary 2024, US President Donald Trump forced PM Trudeau to reinstate the plan by making the tariffs more expensive than it would be to secure their border.

If they don't comply Trumps going to send the military... don't believe me?\n\nUse of Military & Wartime Powers\nJan 22, 2025\nDonald Trump has threatened to use military and wartime powers in immigration enforcement. This FAQ explains the Posse Comitatus Act, the Insurrection Act, and the Alien Enemies Act.\n\nUse of Military & Wartime Powers\nShare\nWhat is the Posse Comitatus Act?\nIt is a federal law prohibiting federal armed forces from participating in civilian law enforcement activities, either civil or criminal. This means that generally speaking, active- duty U.S. military personnel cannot be used for domestic law enforcement.\n\nAre there exceptions to the Posse Comitatus Act?\nYes.\n\nU.S. Code Title 10, Chapter 13—The Insurrection Act—is an exception to the Posse Comitatus Act. It allows the president to deploy active-duty armed forces and to federalize the National Guard and deploy them to any state or territory to:\nSuppress an insurrection in a state, if assistance is requested by the state legislature or the governor; or\nEnforce federal laws or suppress a rebellion against U.S. authority if the president decides that “unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages or rebellion” against the authority of the United States” make it “impracticable” to enforce federal law via the ordinary course of judicial proceedings; or\nSuppress any “insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy” that:\nInterferes with the execution of state or federal law that deprives a class of people of constitutional rights and state authorities are unwilling or unable to enforce those rights, or\nOpposes or obstructs the execution of, or impedes the course of justice under, federal law.\nIt has not previously been used for immigration enforcement.

trump is a racist pos pig trans can't join army . wow what bullshit ..idk why he judges soo much on trans hes acting like hes fking one or something the senator is a complete dumfk he has no clue what the meds are doing hes just a hate full pos .

I feel for these people. When one is desperate one will do desperate acts. They may have spent life savings just getting over to the border. I don’t blame these folks.\n\nI blame Biden and the last administration. The enabled this to happen. They allowed criminal activity of entering this country with no legal entry. \n\nDon’t blame Trump for enforcing the law. \n\nBlame Biden for setting these people up for tragedy.

Whether legal or illegal they were all able to come here due to the BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS of Foundational Black Americans, the civil rights movement and act of 1965.\n They came from all over the world, adopted White Supremacy and treated Foundational Black Americans horrible.\n Now President Trump is going to use the 14th amendment Which was intended for slaves. He is going to use this to remove citizenship from all Anchor Babies so that they can return to the proper JURISDICTION of their parents native country. \n\n And it's funny because all of a sudden all of these videos are popping up from the African community, the Asian community and the Latino community now recognizing how they benefit from the Civil Rights Act of 1965 And now how they need to unite with FBA's???

They Omega as student or on visit visas overstay & work which is outrageous & illegal. It is definitely a crime. Wake up Canada & do as our great American President Trump has dome. All other Countries should follow suit. I'm not being biased as I'm Indian origin too but it's not right to break the Country's law. That is a criminal act.

As an indian ,i love trump ....illegal act of citizen braught national shame ,infact india should also deport millions of illegal immigrant

Trump's pulling out of the U.N. Human Rights Council is reckless and shameful. Instead of leading the fight against human rights abuses, Trump is handing a victory to dictators and despots. Walking away doesn’t make the world better—it makes it easier for the worst regimes to act with impunity. Once again, Trump weakens America and betrays our values.

Who gives ? \nGet em out \n\nI'm noticing that there are some folks doing some serious whining about the Trump administration. So I thought I'd post some thoughts. \n\n1. Accept the fact that this is the leadership that we (the majority of) working, middle class Americans wanted. We are pulling the economic weight in this country and we are tired of pulling the weight of those that do not contribute.\n\n2. If you haven't already, get a job. Every business in the country is hiring. And you get paid for the work you do. And the harder you work and the more you learn, the faster you will advance, and the more you will earn. It's an amazing concept.\n\n3. Understand that if you are a U.S. Citizen, or have already started the legal process to become a U.S. Citizen that you are not going to get deported! I don't care what your favorite liberal media channel says.\n\n4. Tariffs are a bargaining chip. When you are in business you make deals, and sometimes you have to play hardball. That's how you get the deals you desire.\n\n5. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects you from discrimination by age, sex, race, etc. DEI openly violates this. Democrats want you to believe the opposite is true because they value your vote more than your quality of life.\n\n6. It's not the government's money, it's your money. You absolutely should give a damn about how it is spent.\n\n7. We are not the World Bank. If other countries need help they should raise their own finances. I don't recall receiving any hurricane relief money from India or China.\n\n8. Drill baby, drill. Want to know why? Because we have it. Are electric cars the future? Not in their current form. There is way more oil in the ground than lithium, and guess where most of that is? China. Want food prices to come down? Then energy costs have to come down. And that means oil, gas, coal, and nuclear. Unicorn farts and liberal tears won't power your car!\n\n9. The economy and the security of the country are far more important than your feelings, get over it.\n\n10. There are men and there are women. Simple as that.\n\n11. Education is to establish a learning core that prepares a child for the real, working world. Anything else is wrong.\n\n12. Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States and he won by a landslide — both the popular vote and the electorial vote. Get over it.

They are sent back without death panalty or punishment...they must say thanks to Trump?\n\nWhy they were not sent directly to jail for their illegal act abroad damaging India's image??

Please come to buffalo ny these Africans and Arabs here act like they grew here and we flew here Africans here is waaay too arrogant like Americans is in their way interfering with their resources while on us soil Donald trump please come sweep buffalo ny in a hurry the immigrants needs to gtfoh using all the resources we hv

Trump, act faster! We can't have this!

This is happening at the southern border but; Trump is acting like the northern border is worse? How can anyone compare the two and not see that the Canadian borders are much better controlled?

Im at the point to where I wish the Trump administration would just say, ya know what, I dont give a shit what you think! Im so sick of these ppl acting like they don't have common freaking sense!

Thank god for trump putting a stop to madness. Plus when they get here they don’t know how to act

I hope Trump has this program investigated under the fara act and gets rid of it for being a foreign agent.

President Trump is acting on what the majority of America want. \nWe didn't have this transgender nonsense until the woke left hijacked America!\nI'm so proud that President Trump has the guts to end this abomination!\nI can't wait until CNN goes bankrupt!\nCNN will end!

Omg. Retaliation!! Retaliation!!! ?? This is what happens when people get use to getting their way. In this case countries like Canada, China and Mexico. They act like entitled children. Meanwhile, I’m pretty sure President Trump saw this coming. He’s 3 steps ahead of y’all if you haven’t figured it out already. President Trump is a chess master. He’s applying the same methods that made him a billionaire on a global scale. Mark my words. Got my popcorn ready to go ??

As a South Carolinian I take this as an act of war. I hope Trump sends in the coast guard so that branch can finally capture a nation.

Imagine if every leader and every country affected by Trump's actions took retaliatory steps in one form or another, who would suffer the most?!\n\nTrump and America must think before they act. It's America that has interests - political, economic, military, etc - in places like the Middle East, South America, Africa, etc. You've never seen Africans influence/have any desired outcome in American elections, but America, on the other hand, keeps toppling and installing regimes all over the world for their own interests...

Trump is Right as he wants to protect America. Mexico is acting as a 3rd party for China by sending Tarriff Chinese goods into the U S.

If Trump were a sabotaging foreign agent, he wouldn't act differently. China and Russia destroy USA from inside without firing a single shot

Im a Canadian and only % of drugs or people go across our boarders so what Trump is saying is again not true. Americans kill Americans .... Canadians do not kill Americans. WE will not bow down to a bully. Trump cant manage his own drug problems so he has to blame others. Canadian will work hard and not buy American goods. We will do our part and stand with our governments decision on our Tariffs. Trump is a sick man and is acting like a spoiled child. He cant manage his own country so he attacks ours...Canada will be here standing strong long after Trump is gone.

Back in 2016, Trump introduced 25% tariffs on China 301-classification imports that severely damaged my business. For whatever reason, he then exempted the tariffs, but the public still assumed that they were in place. It was a perfect Trump win-win move to make the voters think that he was acting tough, while actually exempting the tariffs for us importers. Unfortunately, Biden got into office and immediately took away the exemptions and screwed us. I mention all of this in order to exemplify how nothing is as it seems when it comes to Trump. Sometimes you have to let this stuff play out before overreacting. I think that Canada made a mistake by overreacting so quickly. This will force Trump's hand to pursue the trade war, even if it was not his actual intention.

Honestly everyone is to blame. Canada and Mexico have both been riding the American gravy train for decades and never got slapped by any of the former presidents. And now that a president who puts the US first comes along everyone acts like America and our president is in the wrong. Just because something wrong was allowed to happen for so long that doesn't mean it was right. So two things these tariffs will do to Canada. One your economy isn't exactly stellar right now. Two Trump just has to pump up the pressure further and Canada will fold. It's that simple. As for Mexico they are squarely attached to America's teet. They need us WAY more than we need them. They will fold. And during negotiations we will make them ok US military operations on the Cartels. All people see is the word tariffs and don't think about the strategy behind them. Tariffs are a tool to apply pressure and gain leverage. Canada and Mexico would do the same if they could. So lets stop with the pearl clutching.

The invoked reasons to impose tariffs on Canadian goods are BS. Trump needed a reason to use the emergency act. This is just a smoke screen in order to open up a new trade agreement ahead of schedule. If he keeps this up, the whole world will turn against him and the US.

Trump claimed the US doesnt need Canada - Canada doesnt want to deal with a Felon who acts like a mafia mob boss trying to pull an illegal shakedown after a contract was already signed - the thing about trust - it is lost easily - gaining it back - not so much - so time to align with trading partners who don't try to screw us.
