Just curious why so many support Canada as Americans? If you look at the spending and trade throughout the world, America and Americans have been footing the bill for a long time. What exactly is wrong with America putting America first and getting a fair deal with the rest of the world we do business with? It's our taxpayer dollars that fund this and we have been overpaying for decades now. Honest question.

Ok Trump it was a funny PR run at first but relax. You’re turning allies against us

Canada first!!!, We must stick all together!!! Greenland, Canada, Mexiko and Europe would be a great match!

He sounds like a man today jeeze first time canada came first in 10 years

Breaking news: « America first » is not every country’s motto. Kudos to Canada.

I used to believe that the United States was a first world country. I was wrong.

Im an ex navy cryptologist they took down our woman museum section. They fired queers from chat. We trusted them. First they came for the!

Yall some sad Americans fr yall just good with the U.S funding an being taken advantage of yall weird. Oh an don’t waste ya time replying cuz if you do you a dick eater.It’s America first

This isn't about fentanyl or the borders it's about Trumps desire to make money off tariffs so he can pay for tax cuts to his billionaire ass kissers while the first lady Musk is stealing money from government offices. Trump is not a smart man. Recently he said this was a bad agreement and who the hell signed this speaking about the last trade agreement with Canada and Mexico. Well it was you Dumb Donald. Nothing more than a child bully.\n This idiot thinks Zelensky is a dictator but refuses to call Putin a dictator WTF . He says Ukraine started the war, what a retarded scumbag. Good luck the next 4 years UST, United States of Trump.

We aren’t scared of Canada. You need us more than we need you! America First!

As an AMERICAN FKEM ALL …WE FIRST !!!!

Flump knows that Trudeau & Euro leaders laughed at Flump's arrogance and laziness, behind his back, in the first Flump admin. Example: at a Euro conference Flump did not arrive on time. His handlers lied and said he had been there, although all persons present saw the empty chair and no Flump. Must save face.

If you’re from USA and support anyone other than USA first….LEAVE

We need to be more for North America first! We do not need a divide in North America.

I loved the speech of PM Trudeau- but one thing he kept saying is wrong. Our government did not do this - One man did this via executive orders. He does not care who he hurts. He does not care about the American people. Trump only cares about himself and his relationship with Mother Russia and Putin. TRUMP doesn't want peace. He is thriving on the chaos that he and Musk are initiating. Trump needs to be impeached immediately but our Congresmaen and women, who are supposed to represent their populations are too scared to do anything other than what Trump tells them to do. Our Government is supported to have a Check and Balance function, but none of the branches have the guts to stand up to TRump. I really believe that Trump's American first policy is to end up as America ALONE.

Trumps policy is America last, Russia first.

Talking to all the conservative US citizens; THIS is a great leader that puts his people first. Sadly, you voted for the opposite.

TRuMP????good!!! Everyone wants everything for free!!! Bring in the Tarrif!!! America First!!!

I think this is the first time in History when the hegemonic power tries to exploit its long-standing allies... unbelievable...

THIS IS ALL ON PURPOSE TO DAMAGE THE COUNTRY. \nTrump is dismantling the country to fulfill his promise to Putin. First he disrupted the government by firing millions indiscriminately. Then he alienates our allies around the world so America can no longer be trusted. If that isn’t enough he then tanks the economy. Now he is publicly aligning himself with Russia. Trump and his cronies are Russian assets and they are destroying this country before your eyes, on purpose. You would have to be a fool not to see it.

America first not second.

Trudeau is a liberal woos! The hell with him! In America it’s now AMERICA FIRST!!

America First! This will bring more jobs to the US. More entrepreneurs. More opportunities! Americans approve of the job Trump is doing!

The United States has become an unreliable world leader and trading partner, which will not put America first. The USMCA trade agreement between Canada, Mexico, and America, initially brokered and lauded by Trump as “terrific,” is now being scraped. The stated reason, a national security threat due to fentanyl originating from the Canadian border (approximately 43 pounds in 2024), is bogus. This pretend “security threat,” allows Trump to circumvent congressional oversight and undermine constitutional norms. Canada's historical contributions to the United States are extensive, including WWI, fighting Hitler in WWII for two years before they joined the fight, declaring war against Japan WWII after Pearl Harbour before America did, was 25% of D-Day’s landings, support during the Iranian hostage crisis, after 9/11, in Afghanistan, and during natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina and California wildfires. However, Canada is now being treated transactionally, with a lack of respect to a historical friend and ally.

Lets see who bends first lol

so the season finale of the first season of WW3 has finnaly arrived

Dictator you mean you right! We know what you did to your people during the covid pandemic! Also all the people who came here because of you and your rule! Your people don’t like you! We Americans can live without you! So welcome to the USA putting herself first!????????

Don't get mad, but TRUMP IS CORRECT\nwe gotta think of ourselves first \nBesides, you guys are doing fine\n\nWe have to clean house first

First time he's stepped up. I still do not want Liberals in power. It's a great speech but he's created some of the problems in Canada. He should have closed the border years ago and paid more for the military help.. Too little too late but he's finally protecting Canada! No Putin no takeover, not Trump!

We all have to work together and if we accomplish that we can do anything why do we need to be greedy at first will start with us and then every everybody else will fall in line that’s why we have peace, treaties, and peace talks, and the UN so they can see how the United States are willing partner that’s gonna help and do the right thing They look at us for that now we have a president doesn’t care and he wants to make sure everybody thinks that we think like that no, we don’t think like that please get it together before the most high come down and get it together for you if you don’t know what you’re doing because he trusted you with usthe American people?

How about CNN become American first \nHe stepped away from prime minister \nIt has been very bad before

America is in good hands. In God we trust. He is doing a great job through Trump. Darkness does not like the light therefore it lies, manipulates, controls, and twists the best interest Trump has for America and her people first. Gods will be done for the USA though President Trump. According to God's will and plans.

It only took Trump less than a month to destroy our coward of a government!! THE ONLY thing Trump so called promised was to lower cost/eggs smh lol..so stupid ppl voted for him!! Now, most of them are crying!!! Stupidity of them to really think this man cared lol lol...Trump is/ will be running this country just like a BUSINESS!! Just like Putin does Russia. In his first election Putin tried to help Trump win, but it didn't go as planned . Now, Musk helped him win this election by way of tech support. So, now Trump owes Musk AND still owes Putin. Trump is paying off his debts by canceling America, OUT!!

Sings great but no Trudy you haven’t done big things and don’t get to take credit for the good men that came before you. Good job taking the opportunity given here however I see another limp D trying to save his embarrassing career. But good for you getting all these gullible people to buy it. Half truths do not make the truth whole. 75 years of industrial decline aren’t getting fixed with friendly assurances and happy trade deals. During WW2 everyone lived on food rations, turned in all metals, kept their old cars running etc… and y’all are upset because inflation means you have to make some tough choices? I’m ashamed of every American that refuses to try something new since the last 50 years of the same old back and forth is what got us here in the first place. Obstruction and diversion. Division. Both parties are responsible. If Donald wants to destroy the faith of his faithful… let him. But going radical against half the country’s people isn’t going to end well for anyone. We should stop giving the rich all the cards.

As an US resident, I am in no way in agreement with our government…..I hate the fact that our closest neighbors for centuries hate us. I am depressed every single day since Trump entered the White House the first time. Our former and greatest president allowed me a reprieve but now I am thinking about moving from this country due to my extreme depression. Our family helped build this country as we were here before the revolutionary war. I was expecting a nice retirement and Trump and his cronies are making that impossible by possibly stealing our social security that I was told was I would get back for the last 50 yrs. I certainly understand why other countries do not like us…….I do not even talk to my family anymore as I voted for the prosecutor and they voted for the felon.

What an effaminate Marxist punk. Calling President Trump “Donald”. Then telling how much this will hurt America. The population of Canada equals the state of California. Who feels the pinch first?

America first

America first. America alone.

Wondering when the first impeachment action is started. May be sooner than later.

The America First policy is turning into the America Alone policy.

This is a heartfelt plead and out of consern for our American freinds, please don't let this tryrant ruin you lives!\n\nAmerica is no longer the Leader of the Free World - Felon Trump First = Make America Gross Again!

We have been getting more investment in American jobs than we’ve had in decades all thanks to this policy! I’m thankful that we have a president that puts us and our people first! We’ve had over a trillion dollars of investment in America and American jobs just in two months!

Prime Minister Trudeau, for the mistakes he's made, has actually had Canada's interests at heart.\n\nCanada is known as a peacekeeping country, my own father was in Cyprus in '89 doing just that, but with corporate interests getting in the way of what's truly best for Canada, the two major political parties have been swayed right of center, and a large portion of the population with them.\n\nAt least Canada's current leader is a competent, level-headed smooth talker who knows that, when the gaggle of robber barons and their cult of useful village idiots start throwing their weight around, it's time to get serious. \n\nAt least I'm willing to say that I hate every single billionaire-servicing sycophant who made the past month a reality. And I know it's going to get worse under Pierre, who will sell out to Donald the first chance he gets if it means saving his own ass.\n\nNot that anyone still on the wrong side even cares at this point, many people are going to die in the years ahead, more than necessary. Unfortunately profit became more important than life a long time ago.

This commie dictator can’t stand toe to toe with TRUMP! Americans are overwhelmingly behind our president. America and Americans FIRST!

The Governor of the Great State of Canada is speaking against his President. The United States truly believes in its first amendment for free speech.?

But at first Trump was saying that this was going to lower prices..Don't let him move the goal posts.

This matters little. Canada will collapse first, Trudeau acts like Americans are undergoing some plight. We are fine

America first, America alone

Canada is a sovereign nation.It will never be a fifty first state trump pay attention

Trump show the world who the powerhouse is \n\nAMERICA SHOULD BE FIRST \n\nAND THE WORLD NEED TO RESPECT AMERICA \n?? THATS SIMPLE
