I have a good idea all you guys from different states come together with us usa citizens and take trump out of office cuz we need someone with brains ?

Tariff is a bad idea ..Trumph should drop it

This administration hasnt got the faintest idea with what theyre doing with our relationships with these countries. This trade war, i hope these countries will see it as only as a temporary setback that only reflects the currernt administration decisions and not us the people. Whoever comes into office next has a lot of cleaning up to do

The United States did not start a trade war. Donald Trump started it. Millions of Americans do not believe that tariffs or economic sanctions are necessary or a good idea. On behalf of all decent Americans who believe that our government is in the wrong, we apologize for our president’s behavior.

While I didn't vote for Trump... The idea that this will hit Trump voters almost makes the financial suffering I may have to endure worth it. They will finally feel the consequences of their stupid choices on a personal level. This is the only thing that will speak to them. Thank you Justin Trudeau. I am not looking forward to this personally. But it's important that we as a nation face the consequences of our actions.

We don't need the USA, as a country we are untied. I think Trump has no idea what he is messing with

Great admiration for Canada led by a real mature leader n contrast to a convicted felon con man who hasn't the first idea of how to behave. The Jello-brained Americans voted for this excrement - live with the consequences. Kharma sucks!

It's unbelievable once upon a time. Muhammad Gaddafi used to be called mad Dog, but it seems to be a very old mad. Dog is causing poisonous ideas, bitting more than he can chew , and trump politics serve his big egos for the next 4 years, and he never stood up for peace ,he's a big bully, I hope the rest of the world can work together to show trump Canada, Europe and the rest of the world can thrive without America. Well said, priminister Trudo.

To the uneducated liberals in the comments, Canada already has a 270% tariff on American goods and has for the last decade with Donald Trump did was put reciprocal tariffs on Canada toQ further balance, the imbalance so you guys being upset that President Trump isn’t acting tariffs on a country who’s already enacted tariffs on the United States then you’re being hypocrites. \n\nSee most of the world audience understands this you guys are actually the minority. Donald Trump is pulling at 60% in United States. The Democrats are pulling at 21% in United States. Just so you guys have an idea of just how unpopular you guys really are.

What you don't understand is that all what we import from Canada we have here in US, we don't need to get it from Canada, they will have lot of problems if they will not find customer for their resources, Europe is in Putin pocket . So Canadian socialism as is will perish, because it was only possible do to deals with USA. I wonder who will protect Canada when Russia and Korea will come to idea to invade you?

Trump will be speaking (whining)to a joint session of Congress today,which will be nothing but lies and grievances, and nothing about helping Americans. Trump is not playing with a full deck,both mentally and politically .He has no idea what he's doing because he's incompetent. He lied to the American people and he will never makes America great again.

The idea of increasing border presence to apoease the crazies doesn't work and you should stop doing it. This war alon borders is as dumb and unwinnable as the war on drugs.

I've got a hell of a idea let's say CANADA ?? should get BIGGER that would be a bit Chen idea.

Someone needs to stop Trump, Vance & Musk from taking all this fentanyl, because the utter nonsense they are talking can only be spoken by a human that is off their fkin head and has absolutely no idea of reality

It's so funny to see ignorant magas who seem to have absolutely no idea that it was their Dear Leader who negotiated and signed USMCA ?

Trump must be mentally ill to believe this is a good idea.

Trump is mad. I just have no idea what he does

If there was ever a time to enact the 25th Amendment, this is it! Make no mistake, people. This is a much more serious action than many of us think it is. As crazy as this POS is, I wouldn't put it past him to try and start a war in order to annex Canada, for their minerals, oil and gas. He hasn't the slightest idea of what he's doing! What a NUTJOB!! ..He should be in a straight jacket, not the WH!

I like the idea of Canada imposing a 100% tariff on Teslas.

The idea of any of the Five Eyes doing this to another is mental. ?

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

Shut the power off so we learn. We have taken our freedoms as a joke and now We all want to care. Let that sink in America, i see so many zombies everywhere with no brains or idea whats coming ?

Removing Biden was a very very bad idea

Had no idea the Ellen show was back on air

So funny how these clwns in the comments have no idea what they are talking about.\nTrudeau is also corrupt to the core, he attended Fidel Castros funeral, cause hes his son.\nIronic that a communist sympathizer, goes to a brutal dictators funeral and goes out in public and calls others dictators?\nhaha\nAh wait this is CNN, which only the dumbest people watch.

This guy has no idea what he is talking about..complete idiot.?

Guess I’m alone I disagree. We need something different & Trudeau & anyone like him have zero ideas or ideas be wouldn’t be where we’re at. Well Dear Leader US border has NOT been safe & sound!!! And you are all talk!!! Show us the ‘Doing It’ not the theory ugh, faking he’s against cartels uh huh

The thing is:the clown of trump wants to follow putins crazy idea to take other countries.But trump is making it with no invasion so far.

It irritates me that Trump attacks canada for fentanyl and illegal immigration when its the other boarder that is the vast majority supplier. Trump has not given a resoanble or justifiable reason for these tarrifs in my mind. Its a shame as some of Trumps ideas and plans I agree with but so far the vast majority of his action has not been. I have been visiting canada frequently for my outings, if I go oit for dinner or entertainment ive been making a 1 hr drive to do so, vs a 45 minute drive to seattle. I will continue to soend every leisure dollar in canada untill this tarrif trade war is corrected.

Trump has no idea of how to lead.\nHe has no economic plan put together by this adminstrstion on HOW to budget, devise C.R.s or negotiate with Congress regarding managing the economy of the US.\nTrump is a disgrace...not only for US, but all over the world, except to Russia.\nTrump needs to be impeached\nCongress needs to invoke the 25 amendment to save our nation from this tyranny he is imposing against our allies all over the world.

Maybe instead of canada becoming our fifty first state we need to join canada and their provadvances seems like a better idea

Trump couldn't care if bread was $200 a loaf..he'd eat all he wants and throw the rest away- the rest of us can't live that way- he has no idea about human suffering and it shows- God Bless Canada ❤

Musks official title should be SCROTUS, Super Creepy Rascist of the Un-united States, partly because he resembles a wrinkly ball sack. Would love to hear some other acronyms: ideas?

Wow! He called DUMB IDEA, hard to digest.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_txqYaPCAlc&ab_channel=ANINews

Good. Trump has no idea how much he has pissed Canadians off.

Who the hell do you think you are pay your portion secure your borders and shut up we as Americans don’t need an outsider warning us of what our president chose to do. We voted him in office based on his ideas and what he had set in play. This is the Democrats Democrats are communicating with you people this is bullshit move on or pay up.

Trudeau should have told you REPUBLICAN idiots exactly what Dipstick Trump is doing! TRUMP is doing the TARIFF thing to make up for all the TAXCUTS he is giving the RICH (taxcuts which NO average US taxpayer will receive) and now YOU are going to pay more for everything! Just remember, Canadians will still get the same amount of money from the sale, BUT the price to all of YOU will be 25% higher. You MAGA AMERICANS need to have your 2 BRAINCELLS talk to each other instead of complaining about anyone of color, sexual preferences or ideas that are different to yours

Export Tarrifs...YES\nthis is a great idea

Here is another voice from Germany. Canada is a dream country in Europe. People like the Canadians, their independence and thoughtfulness. There are ideas that in this time of change we will find partners in Europe who represent our values ​​- welcome Canadians! - thx Mr. Trudeau for your strong words!

Take action. DJT understands action. Join the EU. Ship natural resources to the EU and China instead of the US. Take extra measures to support Ukraine. The WSJ said this is the dumbest idea of all time. Just don't sit on your hands!

You are an excellent neighbor Canadian. This trade war is thoughtless and stupid. As usual trump is spreading lies to justify his acts, but this will hurt the American people as much as it hurts the Canadian people. The Wall Street Journal got it right. Trumps idea is wrong.

I have no idea what state democracy is in now. What kills me is that before creating tariffs, not once has the Administration shown us numbers as to why? They talk about the trade deficit, but never back up what they say and then we have to put up with high inflation and prices.

Bravo President Trudeau! We Americans are screwed! Trump doesn't have it in him to admit he has BAD ideas or is wrong. Canada we Americans wish our President spoke the way yours did today. Please pray for the United States. We are facing the enemy within.

Guys does anyone know who the people behind Trudeau are? I'm sorry I'm new to politics and have no idea. Thanks guys!

I know it is a novel idea, but hear me out. What if US citizens stopped buying and importing fenthanyl? Would that not solve the problem at the border?

Even Republicans think this is a terrible idea.

Trump is NOT a mart man. He is dump man with crazy ideas. He has been bankrupted all his businesses over the years . Period !

Trump is not playing 3-dimensional chess. Trump simply has NO IDEA what he's doing!

So how does a person who resigned his position, speak down to a president who won the majority and all swing states and both houses of congress? How does a resigning leader even speak for the people of Canada? If your ideas were popular with YOUR people, you would still\nbe there

Trump is NOT a smart guy for the people. He is for himself as he is stealing the wealth of America for himself. May the idea of March be with him ?
