Does anyone understand that theres a plan behind everything and everyone works for the same family is not Trump is not Putin is not Trudeau they are all pupets

We understand . Our embarassing ridiculous cloen president is killing us.

No winners in a trade war? Guess it’s easy to say when the trade leans in your favor and it’s under attack to equal it out. Must not understand how reciprocal tariffs work. You tax us we tax you. We’re looking for fair trade. Your retaliation is welcoming the escalation of a trade war.

I am extremely proud of the Canadian Government and all Canadians as we work together in this extremely sensative situation. May we all stay united, strong and see how much can be done to get through this ( a possible resolution?). Prayers for clarity and understanding.

Greetings from California! I stand with all of our friends in Canada, Mexico and China! I did not vote for this catastrophe but am definitely feeling the pain of these horrendous tariffs. My heart is with our friends up North and I hope you understand that many of us here in the US did not want this. We are plagued with a complete nut case for a President who was given the ultimate power of house and Senate majority plus the Supreme Court so there is no fix for the nightmare in the near future. All I can say is I am sorry for what we all have to endure now.

He understands

America is in a sad state of crisis. That guy Trump has been in bed with Russia since the 80s. He’s been bought and sold from the beginning. \nTheir goal is to bankrupt America and allow Russia to move in and take over the world from here. They plan to separate and divide the American people with race wars and financial instability. We as Americans must stand together to fight against the oligarchs. \nThe racist Trump supporters do understand once they achieve their goal. You will be the new “N-word “ in the situation. \n\n#freeamerica

Please understand that not all Americans voted for Trump. What he is doing is despicable.

Trump is a traitor and does not understand tariffs

I’m afraid Trump might not understand what PM Trudeau’s message was. The English he used was a bit too complex. He didn’t say “good”, “not good” and “bad” enough.

No body understand Trump till now.He want Canadian resources for free! he don't want to spend any penny and want to colonize Canada.That's it.

Making an enemy of Trump is not going to work. Trudeau has no way of knowing who is coming here illegally. Our border is far too gigantic and mostly unguarded. Secure the border and Trump will back off. Your second choice will be 3rd world war. If you think Putin is going to go backwards on this you are mistaken. The Russians have invested the lives of thousands of their children so far. You don't seem to understand how dangerous a game you are playing. You are naive Trudeau and leading us to the brink of hell.

I wish a foreign leader would call Donald J Trumps second administration exactly what it is. F*CKING CRAZY. We have let one 78 year old man literally single handedly destroy 8 decades of global cooperation and partnerships. My country has invited its own demise, but for the life of me I don't understand why or how we have fallen soo far in just 1 month

Anti-Americanism??? These reporters don’t seem to understand this is a result of trump’s actions and his alone. Any pain felt on both sides of the border are his fault and only his. trump did this. Your reporting should reflect this reality and blame needs to be given where it is due - at trump’s feet.

Good for you Trudeau !!!! I am an American and I totally understand where you are coming from and you are exactly right! I love Canada and the Canadian people. Saying it and showing it are 2 different things. Shame on the ones who don't show it. God bless you and Canada, Trudeau ???

How I understand it is that the Canadian? Government has been charging the US\nTariffs. Trump is charging them a reciprocal tariff. When Trudeau takes away his tariffs then the US will take away theirs. Uncomplicate the complicated. ?✌️Fair is fair.

Wait... you just switched away from his remarks when the Prime Minister switched to French? Is it because you don't understand, or don't have translators? Where are your translators CNN? Maybe you should borrow some from the CBC/Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, because if you only listen to half his message, you're only getting half of what he said.

It doesn't make sense unless we understand that he's probably hoping for a military attack against Canada to seize what he wants

I genuinely DONT UNDERSTAND WHY TF YALL MUTE THE ACTUAL PRESS CONFERENCE AND JUST START REPEATING WHAT HE ALREADY SAID. Just let me watch the actual press conference!!!!!!!

“Big things” ? talking language Trump can understand.

I did not vote for Donald Trump. I am doing what I can to fight this. I stand with you . I understand I am not angry. This is a travesty to our long friendship .

Prime minister: you use big words US president will not understand

Please understand.. thats a Nice Speach, at least it would be if he actually meant any of it, understand hes a Compulsive Liar and rarely if ever, does anything he states, usually its the exact opposite in fact... a whole lot of blee bla bla blee blee... a** h*** .... in my opinion

I wasn't a fan of the truckers fiasco.....still don't understand.....?.....but he certainly makes sense with this??

Justin, I will try to make this make sense for you. President Trump is trying to stop you from taking advantage of the US, 'the closest partner and ally.' At the same time, he is trying to prevent people from being killed. Is that really so hard for you to understand??

My apologies as an American citizen. Please understand half of us do NOT agree AT ALL with this absolute lunatic. I did NOT vote for him, and I'm more disappointed as the days go on.

There is a trade deficit where we lose billions of dollars to Canada. People who don't understand all the facts need to stop. He's just been exposed, and like the criminal Democrats of the United States, they will never admit it, they just keep digging in their heels.

I disagree about one thing. The part where he said *Rump was smart. It's like calling a hippo in a china shop smart. The hippo is merely just confused and angry and lashes out because it doesn't understand it's surroundings.

I don’t really understand why we placed tariffs on Canada of all places. Maybe because Trudeau is a corrupt pushover? I don’t think that’s a reason to punish all Canadians, you guys have truly been our greatest ally ~and American Infantry Veteran

I’m sorry Canadians?. I don’t understand how my fellow Americans voted this guy back into the WHouse. ?

I feel sorry for the Americans. They will suffer from this, they will be isolated. Many do not understand this. But you know? Canada's gas and oil is welcome here in europe.

Mr. Trudeau please understand that the uneducated MAGA supporters voted for the most uneducated president.

Does everyone understand tha macdonald doesn't control US, it's putin who does, it's obvious in whose interest all of his actions are. So it's up to 340mln Americans to swallow be slaves of putin or protest until they can

And we don't want this either, I hope Canadians understand that not all of us voted for this idiots.

I disagree with PM Trudeau on only one point. Trump is NOT a smart man. There is only one way to understand Trump's recent actions. Trump is a Russian asset. Full Stop.

Canada, prime minister Trydeaux, cooperate from now structuraly with EU, Asia and Middle East.. Leave US from now for always alone.. They will sink and break as they choose for.. and rightiously as their president is a criminal and will not understand and change..

What does this nugget not understand about “Reciprocal!”

I guess he doesn't understand to make a deal it takes two why wouldn't Trump talk to Putin people are f****** stupid...

Trump does not understand how tariffs work.

We understand Canada!\n Trump is a traitor Russian puppet Traitor! Worst president in American history! People throw the word Traitor around a lot now days, but Trump is a real Traitor

Trudeau I am sorry but no one can make sense of what the Orange one does!! We understand. We liberals are aware of the damage that this administration has and will do!! I am Sorry as an American and hope that you can forgive the people who decided to cause all of this terror!!!??

Making a mistake by validating the BS lie via stating everything that Canada is doing against fentanyl. “Don’t wrestle with pigs, you both get dirty and the pig likes it”. \n\nDumb Americans don’t understand what 1.3 B $ border plan is, they don’t know if that is enough and you’re placing yourself in a position of 1) recognizing the problem as legitimate, and 2)“are you doing enough”. Call it for what it is, bullshit - It was never about safety and fentanyl was a lame unfounded excuse. Know your audience, don’t fall into the Trump trap and speak in simple terms.

As an American, thank you for acknowledging those of us who understand with respect to Canada that they must do what they have to do to protect their own citizens. Prayers for ALL lives under the heavens. ??

Problem is they don't understand how terrifs work. Just ask them ?

Please understand that this is NOT the will of the PEOPLE of the USA. Our dictator has taken it upon himself to make these decisions!

My fellow Americans, we have far to many gullible and ignorant citizens in our country who voted for this idiot not once, not twice but 3 times. Insanity. Make it make sense. You voted for a proven narcissist, liar and impulsive man and now everybody in our country is going to suffer. The rest of the world is understandably concerned. We have a Putin sympathizer in the Oval Office. We have a traitor to Western democracy in our midst in power. \n\nWe now have massive layoffs coupled with cuts to vital services and help for our own citizens including Medicaid and other things. This is disturbing and troubling how fast it's unravelling. We can only hope that patriots and others can help stem this tide. We must use peaceful means to and pressure on our politicians to become more vocal in our concerns.

He is talking to a idiot who doesn’t care to understand facts

More people need to speak up like mister Trudeau here. American government is not only screwing others, but also their own people. I do not believe that Americans understand how much disrespect they have gain. It is time that Americans start to wake up and speak up. Canada, we respect you big time.

We understand and applaud you for standing your ground and not giving in to this American EMBARASAMENT of a President.

Trudeau is the same guys that Starmer, Macron and others leaders in Eu countries that allow their country to be invaded by muslims by millions.\nGo to UK, France, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Portugal.. all invaded by millions of muslims. Islam cannot live amongst other religions ! They killed for centuries Jews and Christians in the middle East and now it's happening in Europe !\nCanada is next because of Democrats ! USA will follow and check your streets in USA the Ramadan's days.. you will understand soon !
