Sounds impressive (sarcasm)! Did Trump’s cronies help you put your “plan” together during your last visit?

Many Americans, like myself, feel Donald Trump is a F’in idiot and despise everything he and his cronies stand for.

*TWICE impeached CONVICTED CRIMINAL tRUmp is in the WH to save his rear from prison and to line his and his cronies like muskRat pockets...* Just like ANY DICTATOR! The rest is SMOKE and MIRRORS!

i do not believe the American people want a President who will destroy our ties to the free World. the founding fathers of this democracy and the constitution would have placed Donald Trump and his cronies under immediate house arrest, stripped them of any authority, and taped their mouths shut while the government is reformed and the ties to the free world are re-established. He is a bully using our highest office to prove he is all powerful to do harm against anyone below the office.

This tariff war makes no sense. Trump is an evil idiot. The Musk -Trump administration is really trying to destroy the quality of life for most Americans, probably to force us into destitute situations that they and their cronies can exploit.\nAlso, Trump is playing jnto Putin's hands so easily.

The United States did not launch a trade war with you. Donald Trump and his cronies did.

What it's about is for Trump to raise taxes on every US citizen by 25% via a back door route. More to give to his rich cronies and enablers...

I'm an American with some family ties to Canada and I'm deeply ashamed of how my government under Trump is systematically destroying it's historic relationships with almost all our allies. Trump and his cronies are only interested in the use of raw power to dominate the current geo-political reality. Thank you Trudeau for speaking so bluntly and honestly and for standing up to our bully-in-chief.

I honestly believe Trump wants these tariffs because the 25% tariff will go directly into government coffers and he needs money to cover the huge tax cuts he gave his cronies and the wealthy. Unfortunately, Americans will be paying this 25% tax. No winners on either side.

Trump needs to go!! Americans needs to stand up and impeach trump, he’s a liar, has no idea of what he’s talking about and obviously cares only for himself and is going to ruin our country!! How can the American people be so stupid!! \nNo one can trust trump and his cronies!! \nHe will not stop, he’s a dictator, ignorant Man!!

It's hilarious they keep being flabbergasted about Trump doing things that their enemies want, because that's exactly who he is working for. He does not care about Americans or Canadians or anyone at all except his cronies and his group of Russian-led oligarchs, and making themselves all even richer than they already are off the backs of the working classes everywhere. He is working for the enemy, which is precisely why it looks for all the world like he's working for he enemy. Figure it out!

It's about money. Specifically Donald Trump getting as much money as possible from this term. Putin likely told him to make sure to distance America from its allies, so that he can use the USAs military gizmos to expand his mission to take over Ukraine amd any other country he wants. All this in exchange for making him and his cronies filthy rich. Trump keeps dropping clues about the plan. Elon, created Doge to weaken the economy even further so that the USAs assest are devalued and he can officially the US oligarchy. He's been in talks with Putin, we've seen them together. So now this Trump Gold card, is a way in for more oligarchs from Russia specifically to sweep up the remaining industries at a fraction of what they used to be valued. Then the USA will be the western arm of Putins empire. Since he made sure to obliterate all friendly relationships the US had with the western world, the other countries won't do anything to help the US so as to avoid all out war. Trump will then walk off into the sunset as one of the richest, if not the richest, man on earth.

Trump and his cronies are traitors

Americans love Canada and we are angered by Trump’s actions that we and are allies are fated to deal with for the next 4 years. Our democracy is in danger and please know that we are working to combat actions by Trump and his cronies! ❤️

Canada we don't like what Trump and his cronies are doing. I will be affected and the agriculture worker will suffer the most.?

Impeach Trump NOW and his corrupt cronies!

? Canada President Trudeau for taking a stand against this two headed beast in the U.S. Trump and Musk are monsters. They don't care who they hurt. They will eat their own babies.\n\nI am a black woman who lives in the U.S. who did not vote for Trump. Most Americans are not on board with these new deals against all of our allies.\n\nOur allies are having to take drastic measures against the U.S. because the people who voted for Trump were racist or just idiots and now we're all in the same boat who will suffer.\n\nTrump can never be trusted and the rest of his cronies.\n\nThis is going to be hard for all of us but we all will make it. Black people have always had to make a way out of no way.

It just shows how some people in our country truly are. So this is what make America great again means huh? We were the land of the free & opportunity! That S#$! Is done now. Thank Trump & your cronies!! We are now the enemy to the whole WORLD!! THIS IS WHO YALL VOTED FOR!!?? REALLY!!? SMH??

Trudeau is not a scumbag let somebody name starting with t and his cronies yeah they made a good deal and he broke it Trudeau is a real politician and he's for the betterment of his people and his neighbors Trump and his people or not I'm with you so I'm with Trudeau and all-americans who don't want a dictatorship I will not bow down to a self-made King with tin plated ego with delusional of God hood that go's for Elon also needer is not a good business man always had some one do it for them \n.that drug who owns ships qe all know Trump lies and musk??

The only possible answer to all of this is that there is no daylight anymore between Trump and Putin, none whatsoever. The only thing stopping or scaling back Trump from taking these measures is when he sees the impact on the markets and consequently impact to his own wealth and that of his billionaire cronies...

Tariffs are a tax on the American people so Trump can raise money to give tax cuts to his billionaire cronies.

I AM CANADIAN. And sad to say I and my family were Trump supporters through halfway through his first term. The BS and blantent vugar talk from his mouth and now criminal conviction was enough. But now that I see Elon Musk , Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezzos and other billionaires in his shady corner I knew something wasnt right! And after how President Zelenskyy was treated, disgusting right for the news to see on purpose. Your President is way too close to Putin and who knows what other countries. Trump, and his cronies want the spoils and treasures of Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and Gazza! BTW Trump your welcome from Canada ?? for helping putting out your fires in California! But, then again we know you wont thank Canada! Hey Americans Canada ?? loves you! Alot of great history together! Lets not let trump and his cronies divide us!

Trump and his cronies are only doing this to enrich themselves. Crashing the market to buy cheap. Big time grift

Great speech, at last a Leader standing up to trump and his cronies. Canada needs you so a shame you are not continuing. As a born Brit but now an Aussie my husband and I applaud you. The Democratic world needs to stand up to trump and musk. Canadians are tough and just know that many of us are with you in spirit and wherever we live are not buying US products either. Go Canada ?? and the Canadians ?

Trump and his cronies are liars and want nothing more than to become permanent leaders in a country controlled by billionaires. The world needs to work out how to thrive and prosper without the USA.

Bravo Canada! You know how to elect a leader! Trump and his cronies can place tariffs on anything but they will never earn Trust or Respect.

That Clown Trump is doing nothing for American people. Solely for himself and his filthy cronies.

The rubble that Trump is creating will be the foundation upon which socialism in America will rise, like a Phoenix from the ashes. What we are seeing is the end-stage of corrupt, crony capitalism in service to the fascist oligarchs and their colluding industrial cartels. Make no mistake about this: An oligarchy is a fascist state. A kleptocracy in service to a soulless minority. A cult of personality.

His speech should go viral….this is a speech, an outstanding speech….so different that ofTrumps and his cronies….and wait, this is only the beginning of Trumps administration ….the worst, is yet to come……please América people! Wake up!

I am with Trudeau! What a hack job Trump and his cronies are doing at the expense of american consumers!

I stand with Canada. I don't fuck with Trump and his cronies.

Trump and his entire baboon administration is a joke and Trump only got elected because promised to lower prices on day 1 and he Has done EVERYTHING except that. TRUMP IS NOT MY PRESIDENT! He is a Complete dumb ass who is hurting our country's place in the world's eyes. Not to mention he is only trying to put as much money in his and his Cronies pockets he is taking food off of the middle classes tables and doing his best to erraticate the middle class completely.. We can't stand for this.

We don’t want trump or any of his cronies either.

American here from California, we stand with Canada, Ukraine, never Russia. We’re so heartbroken & angry with is happening in the US. Impeach Trump & his cronies then we can have a better world.

It's not the U.S. government that's doing this, Prime Minister Trudeau, but rather President Trump and his cronies. This tariff war wasn't voted on by Congress or the American people.

Yep, Trump and his stinking S cronies are Russian agents.

We’re definitely gonna take a hit in upstate New York. Canada provides us with most of our electricity. And people to blame are Trump and his cronies.

Trump and his cronies in the Oval Office lead US to unbelievable n dump regrets to it's citizens n the world..Trump deliberately designed such which will have impacts for years to come..

It's not the uSA it's Trump and his cronies. Putin is no more a murderous dictator, than GEnocide Joe or Trump. CNN is the mouthpiece for USA imperialism. CNN lies and is biased against Palestine, drooling support for the illegal occupation that calls itself Israel. Don't work with Trump, destroy Trump. LOL Trump is NOT a smart guy, he is a narcissist and liar, criminal and gas lighter. He is trying to run the USA like a business, cutting off citizens from healthcare and social security. Trump is a criminal and there is only one end for him. JAIL

Unlike Trump and his project 2025 cronies, The president of Canada is a real and respectable man who loves his country and thinks about the less fortunate, only the wealthy and the countries that is not in alliance with the USA trump cares about. May God help us

You, as Americans, have to remove Trump and his cronies from office. He is destroying your country. He is CRAZY! He is a threat to world security.

I hope here in Australia our leaders take a cue from Trudeau and don't start kowtowing to Trump. Hopefully Trudeau has the effect of emboldening other nations' leaders in their dealings with Trump and his cronies.

God bless our Country and Slava Ukraine ?

As a Canadian my personal politics may not always be in line with other citizens of the world, however I can respectfully agree to disagree, allowing more dialogue and discussion to continue in order to reach an agreeable compromise to find the best winning formula for all concerned. \nI have watched and listened to many American politicians from John F Kennedy to Joe Bidden, to leaders like Marin Luther King, Malcolm X, Bernie Saunders, all have something in common, respect, decorum, world knowledge, integrity, truth, honesty, honour, and heart. \nStrength is when you are able to reach out to lift someone up not to knock them down. Even the greatest professional boxers know the difference of being humble and kind when there advisory is in trouble. \nFor the first time in the history of your country you have a bully, narcissist and pathological liar, who is vulgar and unpolished as a man, father and as the President of your nation.\nI have seen our own Canadian leaders, make mistakes, stumble and fail, however they displayed grace and admitted to their shortcomings.\nI have never seen a world leader be obsessed with things such as plastic straws, pennies, flushing toilets, Hannibal Lecter, Arnold Palmer's manhood, a leader who's completely obsessed with selling souvenir and bubbles while his citizens are homeless, hungry, jobless, with runaway inflation so that something as simple as a dozen eggs are now a luxury item. \n\nYou have a president who spends millions of dollars so that he can play golf at one of his own properties, meanwhile his country is neglected. \nA brief look at his past record the pandemic under his watchful eye would have you drink bleach as a cure as many died and billionaires increased their combined wealth by trillions of dollars while the middle class and poor suffered. \nThe opioid crisis was settled under his watch which let Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family avoid jail time for committing the death and destruction of millions of lives in America. Yet Donald Trump is obsessed with the drug cartels in other countries yet he overlooks those terrorist in his own country. Is it because they are billionaires and potential cronies of his?\nRather than be completely obsessed with tariffs and creating the next disaster with his Trump Gaza Holocaust Resort, Your leader could be looking at fixing the country's infrastructure of roads, brides, tunnels, ensuring a healthy supply of drinking water, rail, housing for the homeless, affordable health care, affordable education, etc.\n\nDonald Trump is surrounded by his clowns is not just making a mockery of your country but is leading you into a very dark hole. \nThe shame and humiliation that Donald Trump has brought to your country since his inauguration will take years to correct if he is stopped now. If you the American people wait four years, WW Three will be here and it will take centuries to recover. \nTHE FUTURE IS NOW, NOT IN FOUR YEARS. AS AMERICANS YOU MUST BE WILLING TO ENSURE A TOMORROW FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.... UNDER THE CURRENT REGIME YOU ARE HEADED TO A DEAD END.

Thank you Prime Minister and Canadian citizens. This is what it will take to stand up to bullish behavior, Trump and his Republican cronies get ready for the American People to hold you accountable during next elections.

Pm Canada is right! Trump is just thinking about him self and his cronies!

US - Is this what you really want? You need to sack dumb Trump and his cronies.

Dear Canada...I am so embarrassed (and worried) to be an American. Trump and his cronies don't speak for me or my family. I'm really afraid of where our country is heading.

Hail to Canada and Trudeau. He and they are truer patriots than Trump and his thuggish self‐serving, bigoted, fascist cronies.\nHold firm, Canada; hold firm, Mr. TRUDEAU: We true Americans desperately need your integrity and support.
