As a stronger Trump supporter, i say this, 'Trump might trust Russian but American are not. Russian might trust Trump but not trust American... Europe always trust America.'

The worst part about this is - Canada has the population of like the state of California - we might as well be a state

have gone through the comment section, most Americans are just emotional. your president might not be a perfect person but truly he is putting your country first. As an outside and an African, USA as a country has been taken advantage of by most western countries. China is taking over the whole world.

It might sound surreal, but I hope that the orange fas*i$t will destroy our economy. I'm afraid that this is the only way to wake up the remaining fanboys from their daydream that this president (not my president) will make America great again. It makes me sick that he has sided with russia, the most evil regime since Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, and acts like a brutal bully with our best friends and closest allies.

Just to play devils advocate here, because it seems all the comments are favoring Canada, \nWe just had an administration that ran our country into the ground seemingly on purpose. \nTrump is in the position of playing janitor and cleaning up a mess. Sometimes cleaning up a mess is a dirty job, and it might hurt at first. But however necessary.

Justin Trudeau ruined Canada .Canadians has been suffering for years because of his actions. These tariffs might make it worse

I'm sorry, that's not anti-Americanism. Word choices matter, and this was intentional. Think what you will of Trudeau or Canada, the reason people are turning away from networks like CNN is at least in part because you continue to pay people who are incentivized to frame everything as pro-America or anti-America. Some better choices might have included: frustrated, honest, distressed, resolved. Nothing Trudeau said was in any way anti-American.

You go Canada give the orange Bully back his own crying because.\nThe power grid might shut down Washington and make 1965 and 1967 blackout look small.\nYou can also blow the grid and repairs will cost the us government

This confict driven by the Cheeto Dick-tato might just be the beginning of a new age... rejecting US hegemony.

Sorry Justin, learn how to control your drug traffickers and we might work with you gain. Bye Bye. Your second rate country is not relevant. You’re just a speed bump on our hiway. TRUMP! MAGA!

Might be time to impeach trump already; before he suspends the God ordained Constitution; trump appears to be a liar and traitor: where is the golden age?; what the hell is maga?; need i go on about felony convictions; is everybody afraid of trump? God help us if he abandons Israel in lieu of more power and useless wealth.

I’m in Seattle and have a vacation home in British Columbia so go there often while renting out other days to other people. Wonder how the tariffs gonna affect this. For example if certain things need to be remodeled in my pad over in BC I usually order from suppliers in USA near the border since I use them for my home in Seattle too. I’m guessing it might get taxed now. Not sure how it will play out. I do know that initially tariffs gonna effect lot of people but do believe in general it will get economy better. I recently saw that Mexico been adding tariffs for years for certain USA goods (for example appliances purchased in usa from Mexico will cost another 27% etc) and it’s time for USA do similar things. Just hoping my burrito cost doesn’t keep going up. Was around 8$ several years back and now it’s 14$ in Seattle ?

but this might look like a joke but i think trump was pid by putin to do these kind of thing

Canadians better be careful who they elect after Justin Trudeau leaves They might end up with a Trumplike person governing their country too I pray for the Canadians Americans love you

Canada might be a friend , but i don't see Trudeau as a friend of USA , more like a bit of a one for China and the globalist nut jobs

The sooner we Americans accept that Donald Trump is essentially batshit crazy and proceed to impeach the Orange Menace, the better off everyone in the world will be. Except of course, Russia. The more pressure great democracies as Canada exert upon Trump internationally, the more the U.S. economy (and Americans ourselves) will suffer. The more we Americans suffer, the more pressure will be exerted upon Trump domestically, and the more the U.S. Congress will bilaterally be pressured to impeach Trump. A lot of Canadians might not agree with me, but the Prime Minister is among the greatest democratic leaders of our time in contrast with the USA's new dictator-in-waiting. May God bless Canada and may God deliver the United States.

Russians are in the OVAL OFFICE!!! Donald Trump is a traitor and a KBG Plant!! He was recruited by his first wife a KBG agent who was brought to the US in 1978. as part of a plot to break in to the NYC real estate market!!! The idea was to find a way to launder the increasing profits from Moscows drug and gambling operations!!! He has worked with the Russians for many years and is a personal friend of Putins!!! Russia has control of the US GOVERNMENT AND THEY ARE BUSY DESTROYING THE US ECONOMY AND DEMOCRACY!!! You might as well put Putin in charge!!! Hopefully they will arrest and IMPEACH Trump and his government, before it's too late to do anything!!!

This is the beginning of the end for America and its global dominance in economics and military might. With the fall of America will come the end of zionism in occupied Palestine!

In the past, it took at least a century for humans to discover new theories, knowledge, create new innovation, or create any civilization. For example, Sir Isaac Newton announced Newton's law of universal gravitation in 1687.\n It took 200 years for Albert Einstein to publish his “Theory of Relativity” in 1905 and 1915.\n But the world today after the arrival of the first electronic computer in the middle of the 20th century (1940 - 1945), since then everything related to humans has been continuously developed at an accelerated rate!!!\n Human civilizations in the past took hundreds or thousands of years to develop before gradually collapsing in less time than it took to form.\n Now a day with the advances in technology and IT communications that we have today. We might be able to see a great empire collapse with in an overnight. Vice versa a great politicians became... savages that no one wanted in the blink of an eye!

Wow. If Trudeau would have been like this for his entire career, he might have made something. Too late, but good move.

Make no mistake, Canada faces an existential threat in Trump. Trump has accomplished the normalization of lies such that he can lie about Canada to justify what he does. And many millions in the USA believe him. just like the victim blaming of Ukraine. Trudeau is right that Trump is intent on weakening us and i would add: along the way creating false pretext for coming in and “saving” us from our tyrannical and dangerous government. validating Russian behaviour where might makes right is part of the process for validating his expansionist goals. He will no doubt claim “nasty” Canadian behaviour like “Canadians are killing Americans by not doing enough on fentanyl” and that Trudeau calling him Donald is “unforgivable”. And all the lies will appeal to his base and justify Annexation. It has come to that

Aside fro all this BS. USA did. Might I add this dude is a hell of a speaker

Canada runs its country so well that companies are lined up to come here, start new factories, and employ new people. \nNo, they are running away for lower taxes, lower gas and diesel, lower regulations, and a chance to start new businesses without the hassle that might as well be years before they get a permit.

I’m so sorry ?. This is a Trump thing. Most Americans don’t want this bullshit either. You watch Mr. Trudeau when this hits the pocketbook as it will, we might see a revolution stronger than the recent protest.

Great speech ! This is what every leader has to do, stop treating this economic ignoramus with kid gloves and go for his orange throat. This might wake the MAGA morons up when their bacon and eggs go up by 25 %.

The actors and bots here are funny. It's time for Europe and Canada to pick up their end of the couch, cry as you might, numbers don't lie

Most Americans despise what Europe has turned into….a woke, globalist cesspool controlled by people like Soros and institutions like the WHO, WEF, ICC, and NATO. Their ultimate goal is for people to have zero national identity and to not be able to live without a welfare state. \n\nSome Canadian was crying online about tariffs saying good luck on your own against China. Buddy, you and Europe are socialist systems that can’t survive if not subsidized by the American taxpayers. Yeah it might sting us initially, but your whole system is going to be exposed and now you’re throwing a tantrum. It’s pathetic! Have fun owning the reconstruction of Ukraine and providing security guarantees. You guys can kick and scream all you want, Americans murdered Neo-Conservatism this election and it’s never coming back.

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?

Pull the camera back and look at the big picture. The US has been divided sharply down the middle of the political spectrum. Canada has been crumbling under stupid political and economic decisions. This trade war is uniting the common people both American and Canadian and supportive allies around the world. Corruption has bubbled to the surface and many things that conspiracy theorists have been mocked for is now commonly known as truth. The people will unite while the Oligarchs mutter “let them eat cake” and there will be a reckoning. Donald might be making stupid choices, but perhaps that is what we needed to finally wake up and unite.

So sorry or POTUS is an IDIOT Trudeau! Do what you have to do! Tariff the SHIT out of Elon Musks stuff, too. Might I suggest 100%!!!

All those who are transporters and they still don’t see anything wrong with what’s happening I’m going to pray for you and your delusional state because this does not have anything to do Republican or democrat. This has to do with the rich middle class in the poor two you guys understand that he does not give a damn about you. He only wanted to vote. You’re going to understand when things start happening in your life in your world and you’re begging for help and you realize that this person sees you in need of help and they won’t help you Then you’re gonna realize he used you but until your world comes crumbling crashing down you’re not gonna understand so sit back enjoy this ride and watch your life. Crumble everything you work for will be gone. All your hopes and dreams will be gone after his presidency is over after this. You know how long it’s gonna take for us to come back from this hell we might even be rule by Russia everybody ready for that I don’t think so. They’ll be no democracy in this country no longer you will do what is told of you or you will suffer consequences they will be fatal so wake up get a grip on what is happening in reality right now you wanna look at him like he’s God he’s king. I don’t see him as a present. I see him as a fucking problem. He thinks he’s solving problems. He is creating chaos and more problems. When this is over we’re not even gonna be able to fix this shit it’s gonna take decades hell these people may not even wanna do business with us ever again we gonna be a third world country And everybody else around us gonna be thriving.?

I listened to Kamala and her team speak equally articulate as Tradeaux, but Americans made their choice. Their majority might not be as good as we think them to be. Perhaps Trump is a representative of their majority.

US is just destroying themselves, this is self destruction. Now i see how USD might be replaced as major trading currency. It cant be trusted.

The news peole need to get their heads out if their a---s. fentenyl was just an excuse to for the pumpkin to put tarriffs on Canada andMexico to hide the fact he and his rich friends are robbing the country blind. No body wins in a trade war.trump has been inflating the amount of the deficit andnot taking onto account the services Canada also buys from the USA and the fact that we despite having a much smaller population is their best customer. Behind all this.the USA might check out what Trump and Putin have up their sleeves for Americans in the coming days

If Donald meets Putin to tell him to get out of Ukraine to the 1991 borders and repair all the damage he has done, then I might think more positively of Don.

As bad as this is for us in Canada, I'm wondering if Trump's mindless agenda might not cause major breaches between governments inside the States itself.

You have power, guys. Temporary hardships might happen, but basically we all need to hold for 4 years, maybe less. We all can do it only together ?

Trudeau doesn’t even have to announce tariffs on American good, we the people of Canada are boycotting American good. And we might no just be do this for the next 4 years but for generations of Canadians to come. Go scream at Trump and Vance not us, you did this when you voted for Trump.

If only Trump's parents had talked to him this way when he was actually two, he might have matured passed that age.

Trudeau can call Pres Trump and call him,might be better than this.

Hey MAGA, Donald Trump takes you for the gullible, misinformed idiots that you really are. \nPay more for your groceries, gut the social safety net you live off of, lose vital government services jobs by the tens of thousands daily - but keep supporting your stupid “Strongman,” eh? \nGive it a few more months. You might change your mind on him when YOU are directly affected, ok?

Canada 51st state?Better say please and dont forget to ask KING CHARLES III of CANADA The King might say NOT FOR SALE to dementia patients CANADA NOT FOR SALE DID iJUST NOT SAY THAT dONNY In case you forgot CANADA NOT FOR SALE maybe just maybe for rubles not for american money Donny how about YOUR face on the one dollar George is getting too old,dang didnt mean to put ideas in your demented mind

To all Canadian citizens, we Americans who did not vote for Trump are very sorry! We know he’s an idiot. Stand strong against him. Maybe, just maybe the clowns in Congress here might get some cues!

I don’t care what no one say. It has never been done like this in American history with no president and all our presidents. We have 40 iCarly 44 president I do not call this guy a president. I do not give him the 45th or will I give him 47 I will say 44 and 46. I will always skip this guy because he’s not a president. No president act like a brat no president act like a female without no president act like a female without blood no president act like a kid without a tater tot no like a kid without some type of pacifier in his mouth and for the fact that in the first time in all our lives when your grandparents died, your great grandparents died your mom probably just died and then this is what we have as an American president and American economy and an American ministration never in my whole entire life. I seen this in part of an American history. I took the class I could I could You is never gonna find anything like this in American history until now and that’s why I say I don’t give a damn what they say. He only went into the presidency to cover his behind. That was it. He went into, not giving a damn if he was the worst he always gonna claim he’s the best but numbers don’t lie, sir numbers don’t lie Your fans might say whatever they don’t lie right now your fans are the same people calling the constituents yelling at they constituent ready to fight constituents because numbers lie, sir numbers don’t lie and it’s proven. You are the worst ever in American history. It’s proven that it’s proven that no matter what so good luck with all that hypocritical talk you wanna talk but there’s no way in hell I will vote for JD Vance no way in hell this administration would ever like recoverfrom what they have done to the American people rather vote independent Democrat then vote Republican the only way I vote Republican is Chris Cristi running for Republican for the White House if it’s not Chris Cristi I don’t fuck with no more Republicans, Chris Cristi or nothing

We here in the 3rd world depends on both those countries, things might be more expensive there, but consequences here are death. Only a very few people win, guess thats the plan.

Trump has a funny way of doubling down on bad decisions rather than admitting he might have screwed up. So no matter what the cost to the public he will run the country off a cliff Before he changes course.

From Denmark ?? \nThe government in USA keeps being aggressive towards all its allies, tradepartners, neighbours, Nato, ukarine, and so on.\nUSA president creates a lot of problems for everyone, and even tries to twist facts every one beside Russia & Northkorea.\nTrumps might take US down in the dark the next 3y+\nWhile the rest of the world will work even closer together.\nSeems US want to isolate them self with other dictator stats like putin...US have there own big problems to solve, mainly with their own president & so-called puppet vice president..vance.

Trump might single handily save the political careers of Trudeau and Macron

The world is going crazy, or I should say Trump is going crazy. There is something wrong with Trump. Republicans have to act. I can't imagine how the world will look 4 years from now.\nThe sad part is they would have to impeach both the president and vice president who might be even more dangerous. How to do that? I don't see it. The Republican party changed big time since his first term.

The trouble is, that none of the issues Dumpsterfire has brought up on the root cause or intent for his useless dangerous and destructive tariffs, aee actually relevant to the imposition of a terrorist. He is just a two-year-old and an old man's body, throwing a temper tension, because Canada told him where to go and we drew him a map to get him there faster. We refused at fifty first state proposal and treated it as the threat that it is. When he imposed tariffs, Canada slapped him back. TWICE. He might think of himself as the most powerful man on the planet but in reality he is, as the rest of the world, even Russia sees, the most pitiful man on the planet
