Canada, buy Greenland! Trump doesn’t understand nice people.

A President addresses the world. My people listen attentively and take notes. Trump is a small man who doesn't speak English correctly as a native speaker.

Please Sir, know this is Trump. Half of Americans did not want this monster that is Putin's puppet. I understand your stance. He's a crazy man that doesn't care about the majority of Americans. If I could leave, I would. May God help us all.

The deranged scumbag in The White House doesn't deal in facts. He's a Putin-loving, deluded spoiled brat who loves to bully and watch others suffer, even our own citizens.

TRUMP WANTS AMERICANS BEGGING IN THE STREETS. ANYONE WITH HALF A BRAIN KNOWS THAT TRUMP DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE EXCEPT HIMSELF PERIOD!\nHE IS AFTER ALL A LIAR, A CROOK, A CON ARTIST, BUT MOST OF ALL AN AMERICAN KILLER!!\nWE MUST ALL STAND FOR DEMOCRACY!!\nTRUMP DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THAT TRUE HARDWORKING TAX PAYING AMERICANS DON'T KILL OR WANT TO KILL OTHER AMERICANS PERIOD!! HE'S NEVER PAID TAXES!! \nI WANT TO MOVE TO CANADA WHERE THEIR PRESIDENT REALLY DOES CARE ABOUT HIS COUNTRY AND CANADIANS.

You know I'm so sorry this idiot did this to you when I'm from the United States and I'm really sorry you're right the world's going to go crazy and it's going to be the United States it's going to pay for it and you know maybe one day we can all move to Canada where we can have a better life than to Trump's out of office if he doesn't become a dictator you never know what could happen in life he already is a dictator I finally got away from all that and we all came in the United States for peace not for what we're going through right now I'm sorry Canada sorry Mexico I'm sorry the rest of the world but I voted the right way and other people voted the wrong way and some people are understanding what they did and some people are still sticking by what they did so hopefully somewhere else could be some peace for some Americans in some way or another

Poor Trudeau, he doesn't realize that Trump has the IQ of the sludge I scrape from my taint every morning.

Dump doesn't want to be your friend canada. He wants to align himself with the Russians and with North korea. He is a Russian asset and should be treated as such

And he doesn't use a teleprompter. I have no empathy for those who voted for Trump. They are the true enemy of the people.

This guy is an idiot. He doesn’t understand tariffs, or he does, and wants to hurt Canada more. This is revenge toward Canada bc he was fired as prime minister

Trump doesn't want to invest in Canada. He wants to steal their assets.

??? Canada is hurting ..De dollarisation script in play..US doesn’t have extra money at all

Potus is dragging this country down…. all he cares about is what he can do for himself and his billionaire friends. He is ignorant of the fact that Tariffs will affect the tax payers and he doesn’t care. He’s deceptive and consistently lies about everything.

Canadian here! Can't believe that you morons are falling for this pant loads BS. He doesn't give a rats ass about his own people, why would he care about you guys!!!

the world doesn't need America.

Why doesn't Canada remove their tariffs than.

This has nothing to do with Canada or the Canadian people. This is a pure transactional move because that is how Trump sees things. He needs the money to finance his agenda and he has been told that the money does not exist in terms of what the US Congress can provide. They won't cut military spending and they wouldn't dare touch SS or Medicare. Therefore, Trump is resorting to the only available option which is to have the American people pay for it all and that is what he is doing with these tariffs. He doesn't need to worry about reelection so he couldn't care less how much pain he is inflicting on the very people who voted for him. Elections have consequences.

The Canadian president’s approach to this situation seems highly immature, especially by pressuring the U.S. to contribute even more funds to this war. Forcing a 25% price increase on the American people is not just irresponsible—it feels outright malicious. This kind of leadership doesn’t serve the people; it only fuels further economic strain. Truly disappointing

Trump's tariffs against Canada are arguably ill-conceived. But it doesn't change the fact that Trudeau is Canada's plague. Cute speech though. Self-righteous and rife with hypocrisy ? \n\nLove to the Canadians ?? from an American ?? who voted Trump

I hope Canada abide by climate initiatives that Biden put into place the most important thing right now for our planet is climate change and avoiding nuclear war and if Donald Trump doesn’t wake up or die, we’re gonna lose our planet!

Trump is very child like. He doesn’t know what he is doing! Wake up America

Why is Trump such a f*cking prick? He really hates every alliance we have, doesn't he. This trade war is absolutely pointless.

I am not sure where the issue is. so, what happens when Tariff is raised the US people and importers are who will pay. So, if they need to buy they will pay. This doesn't make US reacher. Only lower sales by Canada, but if it's required goods then they will pay.

Trudeau is serving the final moments of his last term, but his approval ratings shot up since the Trump presidency started. Trump genuinely such a crappy leader than other leaders with approval ratings in the dirt are gaining support for going against him. As an American, it’s damn amazing. I hope the next PM of Canada keeps up the same energy and doesn’t concede to the US. Things won’t get better until the world sticks it to us, because the world turning their backs on us is the only thing that’ll get through the thick skulls of anyone who still supports Trump.

Trump is a bully it was never about the opioid crisis because he doesn’t give a crap about people we are not against the people of America, it’s your president. That’s the bully and all his caucus.

All these people need to move to Canada ?? \n?? US doesn’t want nor need you

Trump doesn't want to buy or invest . He wants to invade . Thanks moron Americans

If Donald doesn't go foward with this plan, how else is he supposed to help Putin destroy America??

The fentanyl excuse is just that an excuse, trump wants to make money from tariffs to give a huge tax break to the billionaires in the USA including musk, he is not worried at all about fentanyl, he doesn't care about other people, but he does care about tax breaks for himself and the billionaires who support him. I support Canada and Mexico in this trump fiasco, and I hope Canada and Mexico really make trump squirm. trump knows tariffs will hurt the US citizens but he knows it will hit the Lower and middle classes the hardest, not causing him and the billionaires nearly as much trouble. He is hoping that the tariffs will bring in enough money for him to be able to give the billionaires including himself a huge tax break.

Trump go trump don't send any goods to Canada put more tariffs on if Canada want to become our honest partner they should be equal we aren't equal currently Canadian stole all our jobs send all illegal immigrants and all the drugs in to USA and that's enough now Canada doesn't want to get hurt same as USA currently Canada can't get along with USA better came with some other idea or wait until 2028 ❤❤❤?????????

Wait but, doesn't Canada have tariffs on us too?

I support Canada’s decision from the US because our government is being controlled by a mad man who doesn’t care about the American people.

Don't be fooled by Trudeau he has economically devastated our country.\nHe doesn't care about Canadians he cares about the WEF agenda.

He doesn't care, wethepeople know that this is not personal. it's business. Do what you have to do. To our Republican government, please shut this down! Impeach Donald ??

Elbows up! As a border living American, Canada has my fullest support and respect. 50% of my lifelong vacations have been spent in the great white north. I hope to go to Toronto in April. If my cuntry doesn’t ef it up. ❤

MAGA!!! A true friend doesn’t take advantage of its neighbors!!!! MAGA!!! ??

Hell, Canada doesn't even need to place a tariff on Teslas....no self-respecting Canadian or really no self-respecting human wants a Swastikar, even the new model SS, at any price.

He's just mad because he \nIs getting less money doesn't give a s about canada

I am american. I stand with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine. None of this makes sense. Trump is a Treasonous traitor Putins puppet and a domestic terrorist with a maga cult taking a hostel government takeover for Putin. \nTrump is doing Putins bidding destroying America from within. He doesn't care about you, Ukraine or the American people. He lies and spreads Russian propaganda.

Trump doesn't have an agenda for us, his agenda is for his rich friends.

As an American I support Canada, Ukraine, Russia, Europe, china, Mexico the USA and the whole world. Oops that doesn’t fit any narrative, oh well.

Trump doesn't give a damn about drugs at the border. He wants to show he's president. Trump is like a child that just got his first promotion. He's a massive douche bag

That is a true leader speaking! Clear, precise, well spoken, without name calling, belittling, and other idiotic, childish behavior.\nYou Canadians can be proud of your leader. A man of integrity and principles. He has everything the orange balloon with a mouth doesn't have!\nThe idiot Trump will have to eat his words and beg you for mercy.\nTime for Mexico to speak up too!

You are a lying murderous dictator sir people have died from a stroke of your pen you all think your better than each other but we’ve all made mistakes and we are ready to live with the consequences that doesn’t mean we have to live with you

Trump is a disaster. This guy clearly doesn't know what he's doing. He's not a real politician and had no business ever touching the oval office. This guy has gone bankrupt multiple times. He's running our country into the ground.

It doesn’t make any sense ?people here are so sorry.

Well said PM Trudeau. Scrap those border plan billions and the Fentanyl Czar. If the Amer-I-can border is such a worry for this embarrassment of a USA administration (worst in history and that is saying a lot), then let them invest in border controls to keep out the overwhelming flow from our beautiful country of fentanyl and illegal immigrants that DOESN’T exist. This is hateful and Trump and those who voted for him should be ashamed. Shame on you. We will not visit your country, we will not buy your products…you are no neighbours of ours (yes, we spell neighbours with “our”…). Trump is hateful.

America doesn't want to explore options to extract minerals. America wants free and clear without any bartering or bargaining from the Canadian side. American want to loot every country they can put their hands on. It's in their colonizing DNA

Love to Canada from Washington State. We don't want this either. I have been crying inside ever since Garfield staged that coup On Jan 6th, 2010. Guess what. The American courts said Garfield doesn't get Presidential Immunity for his actions on Jan 6th because he WAS NOT PRESIDENT AT THE TIME OF HIS CRIMES. Little by little . . .
