As an American, I’m happy Canada didn’t just back down

What a contrast! Clear and quietly confident speech from handsome young Canadian Leader. And incoherent aggressive blabbing from the so-called president of the USA, grandpa with fake orange tan. Can Trump fully understand clearly what he is saying and doing lately? I wonder. What a mess! Putin is happy. ?

Trump has issues. I hope y’all happy with y’all decision ???‍♂️??‍♂️!!!

Those who voted for this/him, are you happy now? This is not how you treat your neighbors and your country, time to pull out your 401k cause it's going down.

I don't stand with a priminister who takes his peoples guns and freezes their bank accounts. I feel for their people. I've spent a lot of time in Canada, and I can say they never mess around at the border. I thought the tariff wasn't going to be levied against Canada. Not happy about it.

By your statement before this you did allow the drugs to America and we talk about president Trump be respectful you have to say president Trump ok. you are unrespective human beings, we are happy that your people kick your ass out.

What I don't like is the millionaires that move our jobs out of our country to benefit themselves. My father lost a good manufacturing job because labor was cheaper in some other county. Now look at Boeing. Somehow we need someone that is looking out for US! Trying to bring jobs and industry back to the USA. Trudeau is a terrible leader and I'm happy to see him squirm.

Cult-45, I have questions. \n Are you tr*itors happy now!?\n Are you enjoying the pain your King is putting our citizens, and other countries, in just because you love bullies!?

My country has betrayed itself... through outrageous acts of stupidity by the now president dt... what the hell is he doing? how ignorant he is being!! how like a child he is behaving!! he doesnt know how to behave properly. hope youre all happy & proud, all you unknowing hopefulls, that voted him in, youll see... as all your bills increase, & all the things you need cost so much you cant buy them. including everything!!! my God, What have You All Done!! How Terrible!!!!

Got to love how Justin has to talk to Trump. Like a kid. We have done big things and you're a smart boy. Got to praise the cult leader to make him happy. I truly wish Justin was our president. What a great person and he speaks clearly and is smart. He isn't annoying or an idiot like trump. We truly live in the stupid timeline. Canada is going to get their items from Europe and Asia and South America. So congratulations America we are about to lose so much. Trump is making us weaker.

Hey there white folks, hope you’re happy your Orange Buffoon is in power.

Trump just want destroyed everything to make Putin happy

If look at another perspective, if Trump did not impose tarrifs, then Canada will continue to sell the cars back to US for high profits. Trump mentioned about this, he is not happy. Actually I can understand Trump and what he is trying to do. If he is not harsh, Canada will never change taking advantage of US, not spending on own military.... Etc. US empire is declining fast, and Trump knows this. He is desperate to make his own country great again and stop the decline even though what he must do is going to be very unpopular among all americunts' friends and allies. The same for EU and troublemaker Ukraine who started the war by arrogantly provoking giant superpower neighbor Russia. US cannot afford to fund money, soldiers, weapons for war anymore. If EU wants to support, EU can go ahead without US. Trump is trying to save his own country so he is not wrong.

You never know what is going on behind the curtains! \nMaybe this is all set up by Trump and Trudeau to bring him up again because people started to hate Justin Trudeau! \nJust like the way Trump hired someone to shoot him to his ear to push people to feel bad for him, love and respect him and vote for him after that!!! And... Unfortunately it worked perfectly !\nLet's see what will happen to Justin Trudeau after all of these go away and everything goes back to normal again \nI really don't see any signs of stress on Justin Trudeau's face and skin at all. \nHe is fresh, shiny and happy inside. \nDo you remember his appearance during the pandemic?

Yay Trump voters! Are you happy?

Putin will be soooo happy ...SMH .

Maybe Canada should say thank you for the trade and the US regime would be happy..

Europe will be happy to work with Canada and have access to Canada's natural resources in place of the US.

Thanks for destroying our country republicans. I hope yall are happy. Thanks for destroying our future. Yall are such great Christians.

Dear Canadians, As an American, I am so ashamed of our administration. They are an administration of liers, grifters and sycophants who have undermined our democracy. They are destroying our country and in the process undermining Democracies around the world. You have been our closest ally for 200 years and I am happy to have lived in Detroit and spent so many trips to your wonderful country. Please hold on until we can get to our midterm 2026 elections and remove the sycophants that have allowed this criminal enterprise to infect us.

As a Canadian that lives with a Trump guzzling idiot, this speech made me so happy.

They've said it themselves. The bulk of their business/money comes from Russia. This isn't hard to understand. And now that he can't be elected again, he cares even less and is focusing even harder on making Russia happy.

Trump talks about peace, but only causes unrest and chaos. Shame on his supporters. Putin is happy.\nIn Germany we say: The madness has its limits - Mexico and Canada

I think it was Margaret Thatcher during the Reagan administration the one who said, Americans are notorious about choosing stupid presidents. So, what to say about that? What I've heard from some of my friends is that they don't care if democracy is gone as long as their taxes go down. They want a lower income tax bracket. They're very single minded about issues. We'll see how we fair once you have to pay more at the pump, when the price of electronics go up, when produce and beef, pork, and chicken become unaffordable. Yes, the middle and upper middle class probably don't care, but the lower classes and the already poor are not going to be happy. Once people are hungry, then you'll see people on the street. Once the farmers start losing their farms and small businesses start losing their investments, you'll see people on the streets. Americans are not hungry enough yet. Just wait.

Magnitude of difference between an intelligent, educated man vs. uneducable idiot!!! For those who voted for Trump, ARE YOU HAPPY NOW??? Who is benefiting from the Trump presidency? Higher price for middle and lower income families with more job elimination. The market decline which affects job market and asset erosion for equity holders. Nobody benefits!!!

Trump and his supporters wanted this tariff war let's put the blame exactly where it belongs It's their responsibility that they did this And they're the ones that are also going to have to Bear this too ??? Trump supporters you got what you wanted And I'm glad that you are happy about this, but in a year's time you better not be bitching about it

Europe is happy to buy a lot of energy and other resources from Canada ??♥️??

All power in one stubborn hand and not listening to well wishers and joining hands with enemies a recipe for disaster of common man in both USA and Canada . Anyway our enemies are happy and laughing at our stupidity.

Way to go Trump you just pissed of the entire world not just Canada hope you and your girlfriend Putin are happy because you just screwed the US

Love Trudeau or hate him... he is not backing down, and neither are the Canadian people. We love our American friends, we love your products. We love how you value freedom. But make no mistake, back us into a corner at your peril. We are nice, happy people but we have a warrior spirit.

Thank you Trump and your idiocratic and senseless tariffs because you have untied Canadians in a way that have not been seen in a while. Im so happy we're sticking to our plans and not be bullied. The whole fentanyl issue is an excuse. He doesnt give a sh*t about anyone but his billionare cronies. His incredibly pathetic. I echo our Prime Minister's sentiment and sorry America, we were forced to do so. And we know this is NOT ALL of America. God bless us

Please trade with us in Europe.. We are happy to buy Canadian instead of US goods.. I feel sorry for the US people who did not vote for trump.. Go Canada!!

I am ashamed of our corrupt government and the magat cultists who helped put them back in power. I hope you're all so happy.. things are just grand ?\n True Americans stand strong with our brothers and sisters, our allies around the world! ??We will NOT stop fighting! FDJT FDJT FDJT!

DT? The American president who wants to be remembered as a “peacemaker”? And he starts a NEW WAR? Not with one country but with two and God knows with who else will he go after. Power and Money hungry fool. \nAmericans when are they going to wake up. D Trmp is NOT God. Constantly claims in every tv moment he REPEATS his prerogative that “no war would have started if he was in power 4 years ago” and he tries to get two wars stop with an special ‘noble peace’ title interest. Make it clear. Trmp is NOT God. And he is not smart as he claim he is. He uses fear to get anyone fear him. Millions around the world have no respect for this man. I don’t think God is actually happy with this man. He is getting old just like Biden and soon his cognitive will decline too. He is already crunching bending forward and can verily hold his head straight up and the bulge in his back shows he is tired. Will see him soon sleeping in front of cameras.

So yesterday zelinsky on a show in his country and it's on YouTube, he said that NATO has to protect Ukraine and US military soldiers men and women have to be in Ukraine fighting for Ukraine and getting killed, that's never going to happy you ignorance stupid Benedict Arnold, at lease the real one tried to sell west point you , ????????

Canadians should stop lamenting over small things. Canada and USA are allies, but not twins and decisions taken by the US are to protect the US citizens and the US economy. If you are not happy, do the same, protect your country and your economy and stop crying. ????

Wow, thatis big... the whole world against trump wannabe king.. are you happy now... you voted for this guy... shame on you....

All these “happy to support Canada” people are frustrated with the USA because the USA is no longer a personal ATM for all the countries that have been taking money from the USA for decades. The USA Tax Payers have been funding these countries - no more. I don’t mind paying more.

All I see over here is blah blah blah I want to be a socialist blah blah blah. Well ****ing move if you're not happy. FFS you socialist love to talk bs but don't know **** about civics or economics. I've never seen such arrogance for stupidity. ???

Prices are going up. Stocks are down. Allies are hurt. Putin is happy. Ukraine is falling. The world is laughing at America. Thanks Donald.

Took Z 2 days to pull his pants down. Turd’s happy he wears a skirt.

Who the f voted for Trump??? I can not believe Americans are so ignorant to vote for a criminal!! Now he’s destroying our country, hurting the wrong people and helping a murderer! We all knew he was a liar, corrupt and a criminal and they still voted for him!!!! I hope all those who voted for him are not happy and I hope they revoke their right to vote because they are too ignorant to have that privilege

Putin will be one happy bunny

Canada, you were so happy to continue to be “partners” with American because you were receiving millions of dollars from America every year! Now that Trump is standing up the USA citizens, you no longer want to be friends… I see your TRUE colours showing.

Are the maga maniacs now happy? I really wonder.

Wow PM Trudeau speaks only the truth. ? how reassuring to see our leader being so sincere and standing strong for the people in Canada and clearly showing the world and people in the US the truth that the US GOVERNMENT hates to hear. What a disgrace to have such malicious people in the administration when the power could be used to save people and make the society better. Their slogan is frankly MAWA - make America worse again (2nd trump term). So happy to see PM Trudeau telling its dumb to do this directly to the orange sack of s*hit. Maple Pride is strong!!! I’m not only feeding my family Canadian produce and products, but also my cats! ❤

Im happy we stop funding your government be the 51 state

Canada you don’t need USA \nYou were in eu, we are happy to trade more with Canada \nWe in Sweden, we have stop buying American groceries and we buy Canada groceries \nI hope all in Europe do the same \n?? ??

What it's about is keeping Papa Putin happy and helping him with his plans.

What a big (sad little) man! How happy he is to have this tariff situation for his personal political gain. He (and my provincial premier) puts his (and my) country Canada at financial peril with his bluff and bluster for a mistaking a negotiation for a battle, the latter that he won't win.
