It's too bad that Trudeau's Government did so little about fentanyl, also about our poorly-controlled border and destructive immigration non-policies for so long. Hence, driving Trump's scorched-earth policy (The Tariffs). That said, it blows me away that Trump was so vociferous about the Lawfare that was lined up against him in 2023-24, but he doesn't see that excess use of the power of the State is wrong and immoral in this Canadian and Mexican case. Trump only knows the right of might. Threats, coercion, bullying. He doesn't otherwise distinguish between right and wrong; only about what is good for him and his ego. The Tariffs will drive very bad business outcomes in the US. Including, inflation, and lost jobs. The Stock Markets are already tanking. At this particular stage, his ego will not allow him to back off, that's my prediction. Much pain for all Americans (and obviously for Canadians) will first have to ensue. Canada must receive its spanking, and Donald will have to save face. Ultimately, he'll invent some dishonest pretense to put the genie in the bottle, while the economic damage to all sides will be severe. But ... Why would he care?

It is amazing how much bad, buying one political party, does… it is obvious that Donald (and the rest of the weak republicans) is in the pockets of Putin…

Cmon man, Trump is a russian asset, its obvious. Anyone can see it

These Trump taxes are to cause social convulsion and spread disorder and chaos within US...this is very obvious.

Americans NEED to start speaking the obvious. Trump is a Russian asset.

Obviously nobody here has seen Justine Trudeau's history of reckless spending and neglecting normal hard working Canadians.

Americans NEED to start speaking the obvious. Trump is a Russian asset.

Americans NEED to start speaking the obvious. Trump is a Russian asset.

Trump has done the unthinkable he obviously doesn't care if he does something so stupid and its not in the American constitution ether really trump has dismantled the us government so they wouldn't be able to stop him he is no longer fit to be a president

Justin you obviously want this or you’d stop it by lowering your already higher tariffs. I’ll take the hit to show your dumb ass what reciprocal trade means

When are we gonna finally realize that Trump is a Russian asset. He’s been recruited by the kgb a long time ago, that’s why he can’t say anything about his Russian boss. Probably through his first wife. Deep ties… \nProbably been bailed out by Russia many times in the past so he owes them a debt of gratitude. How else would you recover from 6 bankruptcies. Think people??? Doesn’t this explanation make sense. We just want to deny what’s so obvious.

Against all odds, all obvious evidence of his first term, people who voted Trump back in power owe the world an apology.

Aren't these acts of treason by Trump? Why no one is alarmed in USA by these obvious acts from a mad man or a traitor?

Isn't it obvious right now that Trump and his administration are being played by Putin and if it continues the USA will be Russian.

Most people in this chat were obviously paid. ?

Trump is going to take everything he can get cuz he can't get a reelected unless he starts a war which is looking more obvious by the second

The dialog between Canada and the US need to come together for a global solution to peace, prosperity and security. Everything is about transactions with this guy. \nThese tarrifs are obviously temporary and Canada needs to speak to Trump on Global issues and yes they need our inports, their cost of food is outrageous. He knows he needs the \nUS more than we need Canada. He could have put more security on the borders a long time ago but refused.\nHe will be done soon and he should have been more willing to stop the drugs and ended his term on a better note with solutions. Canada cant wait for him to step down. There were many more solutions he could have offered instead of coming off as a jerk. \nBuy USA products! We have to stop this dependence on other countries! The green deal is done..we dont need their trees.

Obviously not their closet friend..

You don’t have to tell us the obvious! Our president is a feeble minded fool and he has been a failure his whole life! The republicans have no backbone Musk said he will put his money up in the next election! We want to see Musk have no money! We want to see X taken off of the airwaves! I’m from a state that voted this idiot in to office and I want you to make the red states pay tremendously that will give us the numbers to stop this criminal regime! May god bless Canada and I will only spend my money with products from Canada that America can’t prosper from! There are many with us on this fight that we must win and we shall friends in Canada! Signed old man from Ohio with a brain and a heart!

This is blatantly obvious attack on our allies by Trump in the name of Russia. Time to take the Manchurian candidate out on espionage charges. Interrogate the Hell out of him!

Harsh how can you say harsh when we will suffer as much as canada your news channels will seize to exust to remeber dictators dont like news he is Destroying this country ti where it will not be able to stand against forighn enemies hes opening the way for putin its obvious people are worried because we see it crumbling !!!

Good job Justin. There's nothing else you could have said or done. The problem as I see it, is that responding in kind to Trump like this is possibly to invite an invasion, justified by Trump claiming that Canadian assets are essential to US national security. It's hard to parse the provocation from the US as anything less than a pretext to eventually try and annexe Canada. Maybe Russia will attack the Baltics at the same time. It's becoming increasingly obvious that the US Government is no longer a friend to the free world.

It was obvious from the beginning that this was not about migrants or fentanyl. Just like we all knew, Putin wasn't lining troops at Ukraines border for military exercises 4 years ago.

It is so obvious tRump and the republicans want to see the US burn for Putin.

Why did I support Trump? Damn what a mistake, he's obviously a Putin puppet, he doesn't care about the working class, he only cares about the rich. He seems to be trying to destroy America purposely.\nI am a two war veteran and I stand with Canada and Ukraine.

Obviousely, Trudeau talk to the American people first to explain the situation.\nHe knows that it's absolutely useless to convince Trump during 15 minutes : he knows Trump is totally insane and dumb and can't understand one real argument!

Isn’t it painfully obvious how all other countries have leaders that are poised and articulate EXCEPT ours!? Incredibly embarrassing we have a jackass. Musk is no better. Don’t kid yourself ……English IS his native language yet he speaks like a buffoon as well!

You people who are obviously pro anything but America make me sick. The Chinese are laughing at you......

If it’s not evident by now it’s obvious that iT has declared war on the people he was elected to serve.

As an American with common sense, I applaud Canada taking a stand against obvious tyranny and straight up stupidity.

JD VANCE.. WHAT AN IDIOT!!!! . Today he slagged off European armies that fought and died beside US troops. Desert Storm, Irak, afghanistan and some more. As random small armies with no experience.Pretty much useless... \n The anger from allied vets, military personal ect. is furious!! To say the least.. \nJeez, That is some way to disrespect the fallen allies.. That is irreparible. Despite how much smooth talking he or Donald Putin will try with.. He is obviously dumb f..ed

Trump is an obvious Russian asset. He's betraying his allies and his own people, and supporting America's mortal enemy. #SovietAmerica

Trumpdf is clearly a Russian asset! C'mon people, it's obvious what he's trying to do for the Kremlin! Impeach his ass!

Americans voted for a person with obvious signs of dementia and declining cognitive abilities. Basically, a person who should be in a long term mental health facility, not the White House.

I blame the democrats, all they had to do was get a handle on immigration and not make it so obvious that they were just giving out tax money to house them and get inflation down better then we probably wouldn’t be in this situation now. I just hope the king of America know what he’s doing

Trump is a traitor. When will people observe the obvious - Trump is doing everything Putin wants to happen. How else can you explain a fractured relationship with our neighbors - Canada and Mexico? For bogus reasons.

Tariffs are bad for the economy and obviously starts a trade war but the USA working with Russia is absolutely unacceptable and very dangerous

It makes sense. Its obvious. 0:31

He should be on Fox with this message. Obviously that will never happen.

Shouldn’t border security be a mutual effort, while the states unequivocally blames Canada and Mexico for the problems within its own country,it’s always been a two way street, illegal crap filtering back and forth between borders, the states need to own just as much of the responsibility, obviously they haven’t been watching the borders either or there wouldn’t have been so many illegals getting into their country, it takes two to tango.??

Yeah housing is a mess here. Even getting the most basic, cookie-cutter housing project off the ground can take several years and tens of thousands of dollars. Obviously some regulation is good, but when every step is expensively regulated to the hills and back, no one wants to build.

why do econimists think infinite growth must be a thing in a finite country? economy stagnation is only a problem when you expect it to grow to infinity wich is obviously redicolous. \nf.e. shrinking/stagnating economies wont be able to keep up with Government bonds. you cant pay out interest charges if you didnt make more money then last year. what if everyone is working 40h with perfect efficiency? you brake the system.

Reporters are like some NPCs. Palestinian world land is in apocalypse and its obvious to everyone who did it. Yet they ask questions that sound and are as stupid as someone who is programmed in a video game to say something regardless of circumstances.

What do you mean by betrayal, you DESI? Indian students, if you don't like Canadian policies, please get out of ?. Immigration is a priviledge, not your birthright. Such tactics of getting immigration to Canada through back door and then slipping into USA has become very obvious, these days. S

Obviously they are still paying hundreds of millions to house the illegals in hotels?? Doge what??

Do you know what it's like to struggle? Obviously not

Black folks are doing it to themselves... To some extent. They need to stop with crimes and bad behavior. It's not cool. Obviously all black people aren't like that. But the white man is gonna lump you all into the same category.

Come on it's obvious Europeans are rich in racism what else you can expect them love loyalty oo come on the can't lose thier roots like our roots love Vasudev Kutumbkam they can't

so to put this in perspective Canada arrests whoever has crossed or plans on crossing while America only arrests people who cross from Canada but not from the USA? am i missing something here? we didn't need Trump to baby anybody about doing our job he can do his. you need more border security in the north, and to say we don't would be a lie, but to say we need it from Americans is an absolute lie since clearly you can't do your job either at your southern border... the argument remains a stalemate. 2:05 to 2:51 , that's what we stand on. we aren't the problem here if you have voyager busses going back and forth. nobody forced anybody we have been waiting for a bold move like this to point out the obvious. we had trucker drama in 2020 and are on a mass recruit since, imagine that in your beloved new york it would be chaotic i'm sure, inflation has been going on since...possibly because of Tariffs beforehand but no one talks about that right? get the IRS involved.

Such BS!! Any fool that falls for these lies hasn’t a clue. \n\nI made it only a few minutes into this video as it is obvious BS. \n\nYou all forgot about building a wall from Maine to Washington state. We know that Trump was able to build easily breached walls on the Mexican border his last term. How many miles of new border wall was built? Oh wait, Bannon also was getting money to build a wall.. oh wait, they did nothing but stole the money? Bannon was convicted and got a wrist slap as he kept millions of YOUR money \n\nYou MAGA fools!! Jeezus your ignorance and support of a felon con man may well destroy the US. \n\nI’d love to know Jefferson or Lincoln might say about MAGA. \n\nNo, I’m not referring to the sitcom or the car! ?
