But why did the president have to light a fire under Trudeau to keep our border more safe? As much as I hate trump for every thing else, this trade war is a warning for canadian govt to wake up and be more self reliant and add more trading partners

Trump is a 6 times bankrupt financed by Putin. Wake up USA

CNN! You better start waking up and stop gaslighting Americans by supporting Trump and Putin. We are destroying our friendship with our borders and international relationships on purpose. Start fucking pushing back!

Trump is putin his puppet... wake up

Canada ?? was there for America ?? at 9/11! While the Saudi Arabian ?? Obama Bin Laden planned & executed it, the Russians cheered it! (Alleged) Russian asset Krasnodar lied ? that he was there! Krasnodar as USA ?? president is doing what he can as fast as he can TO HURT AMERICA ?? & AMERICANS ??. It’s almost as if you, Krasnodar (Donald), are doing Russia’s bidding???? Americans need to wake up and decide, who are you?

We don’t want this! Wake up America! I voted for her. These are sad times in America. Shameful. Thank you CNN.

I woke up gas prices went up to $5 omg. Wake up America please

People of the USA. Time to wake the f**k up. How are your actions different from Russia?

I'm an American, and I understand and support you Mr. Trudeau! It's just awful living here right now and waking up everyday to see and hear what awful things trump, vance, and musk are doing next!?

I had my prostate removed in 2018 and I’m still leaking. I’m still waking up in the middle of the night to use the restroom. Is this the way I have to live for the rest of my life

Trump is trying to make Americans believe that he is a saviour cooking a delicious meal for Americans. He is a wolf under the skin of sheep. People will wake up until it's too late

Congee needs to wake up!

Russia wants a United States of America for they self so they’re going to try to hurt us. Wake the fuck up.

Donald .. you’re an ***hole !!! When will Americans wake up ? Trump’s quest for “America First” .. will become “America Only”. I would hate to be working on Donald’s security team ✨

Donald Trump knows that his trade war with Canada, Mexico and China will damage America’s economy. That is why he is doing it. He is purposely hurting the American economy in order to help Putin. How is that every American can’t see that Trump is a Russian asset? He is doing everything that he can to unstable the American government. The writing is on the wall America. Wake up!

trump is a traitor! Hopefully Americans will wake up before it’s too late!

Wolfe, nothing should surprise you when dealing with donald so wake up and smell it for what it is and it will probably not be coffee for long. The cost will be too high to smell.

The American empire has fallen. People of am you need to wake up now.

That is NOT \nanti- americanism. This is anti crap and anti bullying. Canada will not be the only one that will retaliate. Americans have got to wake up and do something.

Can our representatives wake up!

Trump has destroyed the American relationship with every country that is democratic. He is now with Russia 100% The Americans had better wake up. Trump is destroying the USA. They have already basically written themselves out of what happens in Europe.

It is good wake up call for the world.

So are you going to be a tough guy against Donald Trump the United States been protecting your country for its conception maybe you need to go visit him in the Oval Office and get school on what a pansy you are go ahead and talk to Donald might just close your border to America you don't you don't have the cards you don't have the balls be tough guy he'll slap a 50% tear upon you and then maybe he'll say take a hike a jerk Trudeau come on wake up

Wake up America! Your former friends are rallying against you.

American wake up, look at what our government is doing to the people. This is scary America! God Bless America! I agree with Canadian Prime Minister.

Clark? Didn’t fuck up trump when he had tge chance. Now he’s playing him off as a dupe for Putin getting played. Wake up America! It’s all the coup.

Can you guys arrest that orange idiot for not adhering to the oath, serving the Americans, not the Russians??? How much more chaos and destruction needs to happen before you act??? How much more negative development, undermining social security, and bullying long term partners who stood with your soldiers in different US-initiated wars??? Serious, how much longer are you just gone wait and sit until all civilised structures that democratic countries built up together and the US internatlly in the last few decades are going be vanished? The only laughing party, who is doing nothung but just sitting and waiting for it to happen, is Putin, god damned! Wake up, act!

We Canadians can no longer trust the Moscow Agent Governing America since he trashed the fair trade agreement he signed. Canadians are boycotting made in USA. Feel bad for many Americans who did not vote for the Tangerine Toddler in chief. Ffs when will the Republicans wake up and realize Cheetolini is going to destroy America. I agree with Trudeau today, this trade war is dumb. Thanks from Canada ?❤️??

It gets real when leaders start speaking out. We Americans are so misinformed as a whole these days. This has to speak to something! WAKE up MAGA, we need our country sane not separated. On the big stage we don’t look good as Americans. We’re too busy fighting each other.

The West needs to wake up and come to terms with the fact that Trump is an agent of Putin. There is no other explanation for his behaviour. He is doing everything he can do to damage the West and the USA both economically and militarily. To all intents and purposes the US has been subjected to a Russian sponsored coup straight out of the KGB/FSB playbook. The US Congress and Judiciary, the other two arms of US government, need to step up and follow the constitution’s guidelines and intent to self correct when one arm of the government goes off the rails.

All this bluster about fentanyl, yet China is the main exporter of these precursor substances - well, they only have 20%. Awesome! The biggest risk now is that the trump administration divides and conquers - the free world needs to stand together against the US. Yes, it's strange to say, but that's the reality we live in. The earlier we wake up, the better.

Trump needs to go .. he's going to literally destroy everything the USA has accomplished.. not to mention the disgusting ideology he has of dictatorship . wake up fellow Americans.

as US citizen, I feel a shame for US President who doesn't have a plan, go as a wake 3 am morning with post out on Truth (but NO TRUTH) Social site.

We *all* need to wake up that the US has, plain and simply, become a completely unreliable partner. With allies like these, nobody needs enemies. Hopefully Europe, Canada, Mexico and Ukraine can somehow band together to stand against this nonsense, because bowing to the trump administration will only embolden them to demand even more and blackmail each of us individually into submission. Yes, it'll be tough - but always think of what Ukraine has gone through, it's an easy stand for us.

Am much as it will hurt us Americans. I want Canada's to know I am fully with you guys. I got my generator ready as I know what's coming next. May we all weather this horrible storm and come out stronger. Hopefully, the Americans who believe in a con man and his cronies finally wake up and rid us of them all. If they do, I'm certain America will not fall for this kind of man for at least another 50 years. Sometimes, people don't realize what they have until it's gone.

Trump wants us dumb and stupid-\nAll those people who voted for the jerk- when will you wake up-be assured every word out of his mouth is a lie…

This is insane that some of us Americans didn't ask for this liberal or conservative we didn't ask for a monarch I hope that every maga cult person wakes up so we can kick this madman out of office

Canada might cut off electricity to half the united states for a few hours as a demonstration and wake up call.

Wake up USA - if there are still some normal people left, show that you disagree!

Trudeau you are an intelligent individual and I’m sorry my government is acting so vicious..I hope they wake up soon before it’s too late.

Strong speech! Wake up America!

Go Justin Go! Go Canada Go! So good and true speech! Wake up USA. You need to take back your country before its totally destroyed!!!

Wake up everyone, as an American citizen, I'm telling you Trump is a TRAITOR to our country and is creating a New World Order with Putin and Russia!

You idiots better wake up the USA has protected your ass for hundreds of yrs you need us way more than we need you period. What a bunch of idiots. Lol

This man truly doesn't do a thing but lie and create turmoil through his disinformation . Someone boot his pathetic lying ass out for government already wake up Canada u voted in a dictator

Can you please impeach this fool you call a President!!!!! Can't you see what he is doing to your country, and you know that Putin has to have some dirt on Trump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wake up America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Polish-American here, \n\nI didn't want this trade war with our Canadian brothers and sisters. \n\nWe don't need tariffs, we can work together for our prosperity. We must stop this madness and protect the values of the Western World.\n\nWake up Americans, WAKE UP!

Bravo!?????? I am an American and I stand with Canada. Leaders from other countries around the world should be as strong as your leader Trudeau! This message could not be more clear or direct. And I’m glad Trudeau didn’t call him with president in front of his name. trump doesn’t deserve it. He is a disgrace to America and exactly what America is not about. No one knows how he could get here But it’s a nightmare that we are trying to wake up from. Trump has spread cancer in America and we are fighting for our lives. We are deeply sorry for all the pain we are causing people around the world. This is our fight and we unfortunately are making it everyone’s problem. We need help, so thank you for everything you are doing.

When you look at the various things that have happened in the past few days it is like Trump is directly enacting Kremlin policy. What the hell is going on America? You need to wake up!!

Nobody likes trudeau. I see lots of europeans who have no idea what they are talking about supporting this. But americans and canadians all agree that trudeau is trash, he already quit, hes just stealing as much as he can before he leaves and leaving a dumpster fire in his wake
