As an American I am afraid of my government. Our future is bleak and uncertain. I can not do anything due to me being 1 person. I am 1 voice, but no one wants to protest, instead people want to sit and accept it. I do not want this, and I struggle because of the political BS because people are stupid. I do not have the money to relocate my family or I would. This has become a sad and dark part of US history.\nThese tariffs were a result of Ukraine and Trump having an ego trip. Nothing less.\nI will always support my fellow Americans, but there's only so much I will support. I will always support Ukraine Canada and Mexico.

The American president probably lost his mind. Let's imagine that the tariffs will actually be effective and three thousand companies from all over the world will come back. 3,000 companies will start producing, they need people. Where they pay American wages. These companies left because they could produce the product cheaper abroad and Americans could buy it cheaper. If all the companies come back, prices will increase by 30%. And 70 percent of the population will buy 30% more expensively. Inflation will run wild. Poverty will increase. What's the point of this?? Who is doing well? This is the question. Who is doing well?? It's not the majority of people for sure. They are probably friends of the president. Otherwise, they wouldn't support this stupid idea so mindlessly.

You know how big Trump's ego is. Calling him dumb is extremely stupid move.

The whole world watching each and everyone that how the excellent leadership that not only lead its country very well and also leads other countries with compassion, rational and pragmatic though, serious engagements for peace process to deal with conflicts, violence and war but the current leadership seems determined to push long established traditions of honesty, integrity, transparency, rationality, pragmatism and even common sense in deep crisis with unlimited stupidity, ignorance, violent leadership, rude language and flouting all long established rules of diplomacy thrown away overnight and ridiculing even global leaders who command great respect from international community and at the same time bluntly taking side with all dictators of the world and supporting, promoting, patronising violence, war, mass murder at the cost of priceless human lives! Horrible! The ghosts of Hitler return back in the largest democracies of the world!

That stupid woman (could have been a man, does t matter)is relating that to anti-americanism???? WTF!!!!! Trudeau did and spoke the correct words. Trump is a stupid lumber level politician. A rock, a canyon of idiot-cracy...

This thread of comments cant possibly be real... ppl cant be this stupid to believe this asshole.

As per usual, Trump is doing stupid shit because he is stupid.

My heart is sick, Americans have become so stupid because of the Internet because of all the Facebook and all the other stupid crap algorithms that feed them nothing but lies. None of them read books anymore. Everyone’s in here is just looking to Fuck someone literally and figuratively sorry sorry world America has always been a pretty shitty place but now we finally taken the mask completely off.

Stupid Canada , Russia is the best .

Trudeau is corrupt, stupid, dumb & attention seeker.?

Donald is such a stupid name ?

Please don’t put all Americans into the same category as the other boot lickers Trump lovers. We don’t want these stupid tariffs either. Trump doesn’t care about nobody but himself.

It is so weird to be impressed by normal behaviour and conduct! The felon rapist occupying the White House sure has changed the world. Mind boggling how stupid the US citizens really are for electing him. USA should truly be renamed: Dumbfuckistan! (Worst of luck to you in the future siding with North Korea, Russia and Hungary.... you know -The shit hole countries).

mr. trudeau and im being polite your the reason for this mess, for being a complete incompetetive leader for the past 9 years and i also blame the canadian people for being so stupid because of your name reelected you twice. mr. trump had a vendetta against for you being a two face leader.

I agree with every word! \nMy respect for the ones that has the guts to say it like it is!! \nThinking a bit further: I hope this has no consequences.\n\nAn unpredictable narcististic fool that call the shots makes no better choices for anyone but himself (so he thinks)\nIf the best way to silence a bully is too ignore him, he'll never shut up, 'cause it's not possible.\nMy God, does he ever just shut the f*ck up...\nHe doesn't deserve any attention, negatif nor positive \nUnfortunatly that's not an option. \nWhen we can't ignore him, is it wise to react by telling him that he's stupid? He likes being called out. Give him something to react so he has an excuse to do more stupid things. As narcististic as he is, he will (logicaly/probably/likely) react as a stupid bully....so we're feeding him. Any attention feeds the bully. \nHe seemes to love the negatif, but there's nothing positive to say.\nShould we than speak anything at all?\nNow is the time for the smartest diplomats to come together \nGood Luck everybody ?

AMEN CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every stupid MAGA idiot is going to pay right out of their own pocket when their social programs collapse. Just wait...they'll be the FIRST to start whining and sniveling!

Looking from Estonia: At the beginning of the war in Ukraine, many people could read the opinion that the Russians would probably understand and oppose their country's leader and his stupid decisions. This has not happened in Russia for three years, and if you look and listen to the attitude of American leaders and their voters, then such stupid, silent approval is prevailing there too. True, they are attacking their neighbor only with tariffs.. for now.

the stupidity is breathtaking .. Trump's mad

Fentanyl is fuckin up white people the most lol now it's not a war on fentanyl like it was a war on crack cocaine lol if you're not woke then stay stupid! The pot called the kettle black but when it's white y'all act like it's haven't been always White people that know they're wrong and call you woke ?????? don't cry for you cry because you woke up and now they say that was yesterday and not today but that was the law yesterday and still is today ???

Wow, Trudeau called the president Trump by his first name and then called him dummy. What a leader Trudeau is, a real model for the rest of the world. He is so brave and courageous. Uhhhh.. actually he is a -wether- and he is just too stupid and blind to know it.

And now your closest neighbours hate you, Americans. This is so stupid.

No Mr Trudeau. You are a liar! Oh my God! You are, because the US is. Don't fool yourselves. Dont be stupid. Otherwise freeze away.

I don't think what he said was strong enough this isn't dumb this is absolute stupidity can some one explain what has driven the US to shit on its friends and allies and pivot towards Russia, North Korea and what Reagan calmed the evil empires is this what MAGA really wanted because rather than make America great its going to make it a banana Republic I mean wurhough nukes that is what Russia has proven to be. If the US can do this to Canada can any former Allie trust the US they now will all wonder when the Bagman will visit seeking Donald's protection money ? this isn't dumb this is absolute stupidity and if its a planned strategy the end game seems diabolical if not Criminal ?

And Jesus, why are you talking around it? Call that stupid MO Fo out! Talk around it, God! Stop Trump or we're gonna be a communist country! WAKE UP American press, we the people ate watching, speak up or you too will have a FAFO moment! I stand with Canada, elbows up!

Who is this female chattermouth? She talks too much about what was already discussed. And the guy with gray hair, I have to tell you, Canada had bed fees up with dealing with the stupid lunatic in the Whitehouse.

He is a 100% right, Canada is 100% right. Trump is just a f**ing stupid idiot.

THE WAY I SEE THIS NOW AMERICA U SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES FOOL'S ... etc HOW STUPID CAN U BE.

Go Canada ?? GO\n\nCan’t wait to see all those MAGA tears ? \n\nThis is what stupid, racist, misogynistic, ignorant Amerikkkkans voted for\n\nLet the games begin ?

As long as Trump voters don’t understand that they need to pay for this, this stupid agenda of raising tariffs on foreign goods will continue.

STUPID DONALD THINKING VLADIMIR IS HIS FRIEND ??? MAGA - MAKE ASSASSIN GREAT AGAIN... !

Trudeau is a stupid of a kind

Don't worry Tariffs are paid for by Canada I really do not know if he is so stupid he believes that or he knows and does not care either way it is so dumb and hurtful to think otherwise. The last time tariffs like this were in place was the late 1800's and early 1900's. If anyone know this time it was the time of the oligarchs like Rockefellers Carnegies that road the backs of the everyday Americans making them the richest people in the world. Notice a theme here, I do!!

How Americans became so low and stupid to have such an idiot as a president ??? it blows my mind, embarrassing

The fentanyl BS from Trump is so insulting. The US wastes insane amount of time and money catching and jailing LSD, weed, and shrooms users and acts like Canada's dedicated focus on dangerous hard drugs isn't good enough. He should mind his stupid war on harmless drugs instead of attacking people tackling the truly dangerous ones

For trump, Canada and Europe are enemies but ruzzia is a friendly country. How can it be? How stupid some americans can be to believe in these?\ntrump is a ruzzian active agent since 2012. His now taking US as dictator.\nDon't buy any US brand or maded product, specially tesla and starlink.\nUS is enemy with trump, and will be worst. US cannot be trusted for years to come. They let ruzzian got power in their own country. They put trump in power today, and tomorrow who will be? They are only 300M people, and half are against this, lets fight this brainless people.\nI'm European, I'm with Canada.

Anti-americanism? Are you stupid? You didnt even listen to what he said.

Tradeu is Right, Trumph is stupid

Stupid Canadians.... Want EU war against Russia.... While living safely away from war.... Coca aine sniffing leadership has already ruined Canada.... We don't want Canada.... Hurt us....?

what this moron will never understand they need us more than we need them most of there products we don't need and we provide them with national security I guess what did they expect when they elected a drama teacher and a stupid one at that

He kept a cool head when DT described it as the 51st U.S. state, with the intention of annexing Canada.\n\nThe fact that he will leave his post as prime minister in a few days has allowed him to speak without complex and without restraint, but also influenced by the serious threat to the country and its economy. He leaves with his head held high with a speech that will go into history, it will be part of his legacy.\n\nThe comments are complimentary of Canada, and it is true that they are kind, caring and welcoming people. To be part of it for 40 years, I am currently impressed by the solidarity of the people who boycott American products in supermarkets. They do not do it to harm the Americans they appreciate (spend their holidays at home) but to punish DT for his arrogance and lies. Human stupidity has no nationality.

Trump is a Russian asset and his sole goal(or the goals of his puppet masters) is to destabilize his country and the whole Western world. A couple of months ago I would call this a silly fable but right now i cannot see any other reasonable explanation. He cannot possibly be this stupid.

Trudo can't understand that US sanctions will affect Canada 1000 times more than Canadian sanctions on the USA. Canada is a poor country and counterattacking USA it's like shooting in your own leg. USA slaps own leg and Canada shoots in own leg. Stupid move Trudo, very stupid.

Hes imposing another 20 % carbon tax increase that takes effect april 1st so theres that. It could be easier if you juat dropped that stupid carbon inflationary tax. Trudeau is a complete idiot

I am from England and fully support my Canadian brethren. It seems to me that what Trump is doing is intentionally unravelling the USA and destabilising the rest of the world. I find it difficult to believe that it’s not intentional - surely Trump cannot be this stupid???

There you go magic supporters see what your cult leader has done you think he's a great businessman? The art of the deal is basically selling out our allies and making Russia get better at the expense of all of the rest of us. Congratulations for being so f****** stupid

Canadians aren’t stupid we will come ahead of this trade war Donald will bend the knee

Trump is full of Russian propaganda… That's how stupid this man is

Half of us are great Americans and love Canada \n. But other half are stupid MAGA

Well Spoken Mr Tradeau!!!! Call Out that stupid, weak BULLY!!!

Donald is only is stupid Rich kid… a stupid fashist…
