Canada, the American people don't want this and a lot of Trump supporters didn't want this either. I'm sorry that y'all too have to suffer and deal with a man that doesn't lead your country. Believe me I would swap with y'all tomorrow. \n\nIt's amazing how Canada came up with how many billions for border patrol but we can't get Congress to pass a bill. President Biden tried to get a bill through Congress within his first 100 days and they wouldn't pass it then either. We have scanners sitting at the Mexican Border that will detect Fentanyl but Congress would approve using them either. Everyone needs to find out how their Representative voted on that bill and make sure they are not in office next time. \n\nI don't know how this man got elected but I feel like Musk and Starlink helped him win. I just heard that Starlink is what was used to send the results in the swing states. Musk told someone an hour before polls closed that Trump was the winner, with his evil laugh and let's not forget Trump telling his supporters that they didn't need to vote cause he will win without them. That's fishy. \n\n\nY'all what do we do if he won't leave office? What do we do then? I know he just got in the White House but it's never too early to have a plan to get him out. They worked on Project 2025 for 4 years and now it's all falling into place. OMG! What are we going to do?

American should wake up and realize that Trump is only for Trump and his rich friends.\nTrump wants to go down in history as one of the greatest presidents. Trump is only worried about Trump, and Trump only ? ? ? ? ? ?

President Trump a smart man? Well, this sounds like a joke!! President Trump is just stabbing his allies in the back in a world that's strictly globalized!! He's just demolishing decades and decades of friendly relationships and cooperation with the free western world, mining alliances ( NATO ), without a reasonable justification! He's actually isolating the USA from the rest of the civil world! Greetings from Italy, EUROPE!!

Hey Canadians, on behalf of the good people in America... I apologize for the ignorance and stupidity of one EMBARRASSING excuse of a leader that is not only sticking it to Americans in every way you can think ... I refuse to call him a president because he is NOT... He is a convicted felon, convicted on 34 felonies. He is a fraudster, a cheater, a LIAR, a thief, and a THUG! He is not a legal president because he cheated to get elected in the first place because he cheated in 2016 by having his Russian friends interfer in our election by smearing, and launching the wikileaks ĺeak that She had emails from her secratary of state days on an unsecured computer at the DNC Hillary Clinton, merely weeks ahead of the 2016 election.\nTrump also incited a seditious insurection in 2020 after losing that election failing his attempted coup to sieze power in an election he LOST! Donald Trump and many of the GOP that ran for thier lives on Jan. 6th 2021 now refer to the insyrection as a peacful gathering of non violent protesters... Trump calls it the best day ever!!! Think about that for a minute! The very first order of business Trump did after his inauguration was to pardon 1500 crimina convicts that either plead guilty or were found guilty of charges like sedition. And insurectionists. Many of them for violent crimes like battery on a police officer. And other charges loke trespassing on a federal building, and theft charges for stealing laptops and all sorts of things.\nDonald Trumps first act was to free all of them with a wave of a pen... he freed police bashers!!! And scum bags like Elmer Rhoads, and leader of the proud boys Enrique Tarrio... and all tge violent punks that tried to overturn a free and fair election!!! I is disgusting! HE a k so pardoned the biggest drug dealer in America that catered to criminals and murderers, the owner and inventer of the silk roads dark web site.\nTrump is a Russian asset, make no mistake about it. And fir the last 40 days or so he set about to burning down all American institutions with the help of his Billionaire campaign donors that agreed to get him elected for MORE MONEY!!! Trump is turningvon our trusted allies all friends, and siding with countries like Russua, North Korea, Iran, Turkey, and other countries that are under the control of string men autocrats, and dictators! He publicly called our friend and ally Vlidomir Zelenskyy a dictator! While at the same time calling Vladimir Putin a genius, and a really smart guy that wants peace he says!\nVladimir Putin is the worlds most cold blooded mass murderer of our lifetime and he is a war criminal that kills mostly civilians, women and children deliberatly!!! He poisons his political opponents and business partners with plutonium and other ways like having them thrown out a high ruse window, or shit from the sky in an airplane!!!\nDonald Trump is a maniac that Ameruca needs to desperately get rid of before he finishes the job of burning down all our institutions and burning our constitution and democracy in order to turn Ameruca into an autocracy...\nSo, Canadians.... we Americans are deeply embarrassed and we apologize for the reckless behavior of one man!! One ignorant man... Donald Trump. There has never been a more shameful and embarrassing time to be an American! Eff Trump!!!

The difference between a lunatic and Trump is that within Trump must be at least 10 more other lunatics. Sad for the American people who will suffer from this trade war. And Mr Trudeau speaks like a respectfull president from a civilized country. How is it possible that lunatics can become a president from the USA?

Trump simply asked to stop the illegals and fentenal coming to our country threw yours!! He asked you and you said you would, the same as mexico. Apparently your operations are not working for one reason or another! HONOR YOUR COMMITMENT! Mr. Trudeau simply call president Trump and discuss the numbers and come up.with a new idea on how to stop this agreed upon situation! Montana Rick.

President Trump should ask their citizens if this is what they want all countries against them or Russia. I bet not but.

Pround Indigenous woman from Arizona! Trump not my President!! I Stand with Mexico, Canada and all Europe! Never with Russia ?❤

First and most of all!!!!!!!! He is PRESIDENT , trump !!!!!!! Second only Canada will truly be affected, u can raise energy and our president will subsidize it with ur tariffs

Once Donald Trump was a president and now he is just a dog of Putin and it's true

Shame on you, CNN! Taking the side of a dictator wanna be when Canada and Mexico is trying to work with our lousy president! Shame on you! Wake up people! Trump is Putin’s puppet. He is selling out the United States for God sake wake up!

Peter Thiel is wanting to \nDestroy the American economy through his lapdogs President Musk and his puppet Trump! DO YOUR RESEARCH!

Trump is the dumbest president ever.

As an American, I stand with Canada and Ukraine. President Zelensky please don't give in to Trump.

Dang, we need him as our president mann smh America got to do better. The best we can do is Trump wow.

President Trump is the best American President ever. I stand with Trump. He has done a lot of good things. He doesn't take any countries B.S.

The difference in comments between CNN viewers & ACTUAL news outlets is incredible. All of the TDS patients gather here because they know CNN will tell them what they want to hear. You’re all deluded & you don’t even know it. Incredible. Have prices increased? Can you provide evidence to show these price increases? Maybe you people should move to a different country. If you like Canada so much they got plenty of space. Trump is the president. Get over it. You people are genuinely pathetic

Trudeau I wish you were our president instead of the dumb sh*t head that we have! You made an agreement with Trump then he turns and stabs you in the back. That is what he planned to do to Ukraine. The drugs are made in the USA and sold all over . We know this how ever Republikkkans have to have someone to blame other than their own children that are buying and using the drugs.

Bravo President Trump! Keep the tariffs on Canada and Mexico!

Trudeau, my brother, My words cannot begin to express to you or your people just how genuinely sorry I am for my country's utterly repulsive and inexcusable behavior throughout the last month and a half and for the downright cruel, hostile treatment you've suffered at the hands of the most incompetent, greedy, poorly educated, narcissistic, racist, sexist, xenophobic buffoon to ever preside over the United States. Not only is Donald Trump an overly privileged, pathetic, whiney crybaby who literally folds his arms, stomps his feet, and launches an all out temper tantrum whenever he doesn't get his way or when someone else has the TV remote, he is a dangerously delusional, high stakes risk taker who wouldn't think twice about using his own mother or child as a human body shield if he thought his life were in danger. There is absolutely no value, principle, moral or ethic he wouldn't betray without hesitation if he suspects there is anything at all to be gained - you know, the type of guy who would poison the entire neighborhood in order to hoard all the complimentary tampons and lip gloss samples from his neighbors' mail boxes just to ensure that he got first dibs on everything before anyone else. Incidentally, he is also the same type of guy who pockets all the flavored mini coffee creamers from the gas station and all the paper bed sheets and Qtips from the doctor's office. I wouldn't put it past him to steal the waitresses' tips off tabletops on his way out the door upon leaving McDonald's. In fact, I would bet everything that he steals the donation jars for Jerry's Kids at the local supermarket. I mean, its already a given that he is likely the guy who filed a lawsuit a few summers back against a sweet, innocent littls FOUR year old boy for having a lemonade stand on property not zoned for commercial use. If it wasn't Trump then I'm sure it's only because he was too busy ordering the National Guard to power hose and pepper spray the 30 or so elderly nuns who had been distributing bottled water to folks demonstrating in support of Black Lives Matter on the hottest day of the year. Satisfied in his victorious battle against the nuns - 9 of whom had been hospitalized for critical injuries including the 92 year old Mother Superior who suffered massive brain bleed, swelling and concussion due to the excessive force of the power hose and an 87 year old nun who lost permanent sight in one eye due to the pepper spray - Trump had the nerve to pose for a publicity shot in front of the church while holding a Bible - UPSIDE DOWN - and scrunching and contorting his face into that hideous trademark scowl he does ever so naturally. Yep. This is the man my fellow Americans chose to represent our nation as President - a man who beats up 90 year old nuns and imposes 25% tax hikes to our ONLY FRIEND in the entire world simply for refusing to accept his invitation for statehood. I mean, come on, Trudeau, is that really asking too much of you? Was it really worth bruising Donny's fragile little ego and sending him into a fit of rage? (Seriously, though, I suspect he really does feel as though you are in the wrong for refusing to humor his delusions and thus embarrassing him in front of all his Russian dictator and Ku Klux Klan buddies.)\nOnce again, I do humbly apologize and I promise I will support whatever actions you choose to take and I will help you in any way you deem is best. \nMuch love and peace always, \nMs. S. Delois Jackson

President Trump called him governor, so why can't he call him Donald ?

Trump's goal is to start an actual war with anyone who'll have it, including our closest neighbors and allies. The reason is that wartime presidents have more power and he doesn't care who stands in his way. He's going to use that power to detain journalists and jail political opponents ahead of the midterms claiming them to be traitors, then he's going to set himself up to run for a third term. If he succeeds, he'll have total control. Democratic leaders will be in jail, journalists will be silenced, and the national guard will forcefully search your home for any second amendments you might have lying around as they deliver our ballots at gunpoint. How do I know? Because that's what tyrants do. The US is in the midst of a political coupe and it's imperative that the situation be viewed from that paradigm. Drop any pretense that this administration is anyone's ally, they're not. They're a rogue administration attempting to seize total control of the US.

? Canada President Trudeau for taking a stand against this two headed beast in the U.S. Trump and Musk are monsters. They don't care who they hurt. They will eat their own babies.\n\nI am a black woman who lives in the U.S. who did not vote for Trump. Most Americans are not on board with these new deals against all of our allies.\n\nOur allies are having to take drastic measures against the U.S. because the people who voted for Trump were racist or just idiots and now we're all in the same boat who will suffer.\n\nTrump can never be trusted and the rest of his cronies.\n\nThis is going to be hard for all of us but we all will make it. Black people have always had to make a way out of no way.

Not telling why Canada was imposed with 25% tariffs . President Trump told you Mr. Trudeau 30 days ago if you did not put your military on the border to keep illegal immigrants from crossing into the United States he would do this. So you were warmed! Do not get up there and lie! We voted for President Trump to close our borders cause when he campaigned he said he would and he's sticking to his promise.

I’m sorry why do people think trump is afraid of Russia ? Russia is choking against Ukraine in a war right now . Ukraine, how could they ever win a war against America when it’s taken them 3 years to still not win the war against Ukraine, the same country who’s president got kicked out of the White House ?

Canadian says that President Trump should punish Trudeau for running his mouth.

Love you President Trudeau. I wish you were not leaving. Canada and the rest of the world need people like you to overcome the destruction of America. We in New Zealand need people just like you to stand up to Trump and his criminal republicans. Please re-think about leaving.

Imagine voting for Trump over inflation while he was saying he would use tariffs and people thinking it wouldn't affect them. So naive. Trump is an agent of chaos who is anathema to everything this country stands for, and it's self-evident by his actions. We are a country who is strong because of our friends around the world and no one will trust this country when we keep putting an idiot in office who doesn't honor former president's agreements. You can't work with a country who won't stick to it's agreements. You wouldn't tolerate a friend like that, and this is the same thing on a macro level.

Trump is a clown!!!!\nAmerica needs a better president?

Donald Trump will go down as the worst US-President in the history of the nation. Kids will be analysing in school in the future how it could happen that more than 50% of the voters chose this man over a smart and strong women.

Prime Minister Trudeau has always been a reliable source for truth, but now that he has referred to President Trump as “smart,” I don’t know…

He learned the speech of President Trump??

Texan here. If I was Canada, I would have put a 30% Tariff against the U.S. Canada didn’t start this Fight, Trump did!!!!!!! U.S. Air Force Combat Unit Veteran, and I stand with all of NATO and Ukraine, and I can’t forget our Freinds on the Southern Border Mexico. Americans will always be Friends with Canada, you should be very proud of your Prime Minister, or President?

I'm with you trump is a disgrace he's the worst president we have ever had

Nearly half of the foolish American voters installed this verified criminal as a pretend president once again, knowing damn well the chaos this imbecile caused four years ago. But not all the blame goes to them, the Demo-rat politicians, with their shallow 2024 candidates along with zero support for struggling American Working Class help cause Trump. The corporate elites own the Democrats and the oligarchs control the Republicans. This is the sad state of affairs in 2024 in the United States.

Canada's Tariff applied to the United States will cause some price inflation, price increase, for a short time until the United states establish compaines to produce the same good and services that were tariffed. Once goods and service producted by the United States exceeds the Canadian goods and services that were tarriffed, the prices will come down. President Donald Trump did this to grow United States and Employment and cause price deflation over the long term. Hopefully Canada has the resources to do the same. I hope every body is blessed through Jesus Christ's name. Amen.

It’s been said for years ever since trump stepped into politics. trump is Americas greatest security threat and the worst president ever

I’m ashamed of our president. Canada has done everything they were asked by an unreasonable Donald Trump. Trump is isolating America intentionally. I am ashamed to be n American.

Hold on. Will the Canadian government provide assistance to its citizens during the trade disputes? Im sure, President Trump will offer greater benefits to the United States.

THE BEST PRESIDENT EVER MAGA TRUMP against deep state with one world agenda..battle of good vs evil.. truth will prevail??

Mr,Justin First U have Leran how to RESPEKT Other Country President U And Mr, Zelenzky too. Leran , U can‘t Win Against Mr, President Donald Trump U Think Front of Camera Give. Voice Cut Stupid And Useless , Canadian people they Told GO HOME We Tell To??

I am 100% with President Trump and Americans .

Trudeau spoke directly yo Trump, 'you are dumb' ! As POTUS, you are just a dumb President.

Canada, I hope Trump reconsiders this tariffs war. I have respected and enjoyed the friendly neighbors we've had in Canada. I am a North Carolinian. I support my great President, Donald Trump and he is doing great things that our nation truly needed. We are cleaning the swamp at Washington our government must stop all the spending and account for every tax dollar they spend. I believe Trump will return and reconsider this tariff put on our closest alia Canada. I pray that he does sooner then later.

I BACK AND SUPPORT OUR GREAT PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP AND AMERICA THE GREAT

The president of usa did this and 25% of americans did this. the other 75 % love canada. Chuck tRump. may he rot in hell.

I BACK AND SUPPORT OUR GREAT PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP AND AMERICA THE GREAT

Putin is loving every minute of Trump's presidency

Some one tell me please, and i understand what tariffs mean, but who does it benefit? Honestly? Would it bring in more money to a country who imposes these tariffs? Ultimately, the comsumer is the one who bares the economic burden with higher prices than why is our idiot President Trump imposing these tariffs to begin with?? Can he profit from any of these tariffs?

Canada leaders are on target! They should not allow this worthless bully Trump to bully them! How senseless and ridiculous for Trump to cause this huge problem! Trump wants to be a dictator like Russia president which is why he speaks so favorably about Russia and speak down to our allies and our leaders.\nAmerica foolishly voted Trump back into office , now watch as he destroy this country , families , jobs and alike. \nPrices are higher than ever, Americans will go further into debt with the tariffs our allies are being forced to do!\nOur allies will NEVER TRUST US again
