Well, dear Americans, many smart people warned you, but you didn't want to listen and did everything to ensure Trump's political survival and voted for him a second time. \nIt is very clear what Trump wants to do to the USA, and has already done to some extent! He wants a presidency like the Russian, Chinese and North Korean presidents have. \nA presidency with unlimited power, no Congress, no Senate, no independent courts.\nI can only hope, the world can only hope, that there are still enough Americans who will fight against this.

I'm ashamed to say that our president is an absolute traitor to our allies and to its people. Somehow his cult followers were able to get him back into office instead of prison. Now all of us are having to suffer please do not lose faith we will figure out a way to get rid of the Trump regime once and for all as well as Elon Musk were so sorry about what they've done there will be payback for them for many levels just know that the United States people love Canada always have always will one of our greatest allies and our good neighbor. Sorry about Donald Trump he's a prick

This was a much needed step by President Donald Trump ?? Well done! ?

Well done CANADA. You have spoken clearly, letting the American people know, that it is the TRUMP GOVERNMENT that is causing the TRADE WAR. Trudeau spoke like a FREIND & ALLI who will not accept anything to do with a TRUMP/PUTIN deal. This is how to deal with a BULLY & A PERSON WHO IS UNTRUSTWORTHY like PRESIDENT TRUMP.

Trump went against the trade deal that he made with Canada and Mexico when he renegotiated the existing deal during his first term. Trump called his deal with them beautiful and perfect. Trump does not keep the deals he makes to other countries or to the Americans who voted for him. \n\nTrump's final push in his campaign was to cut costs for Americans at the checkout, chuckling at the strange sound of the word 'groceries' to him. He has never worried about or dealt with buying groceries. The moment he got back into office, he said that lower prices wasn't happening and that the American people would suffer. \n\nThen he and Republicans began cuts in jobs and government services to Americans as well as others in the world, so that no one can trust Trump --- and in the case of others in the world, it reflects so bad on the U.S. and against any trust in the U.S. anymore. No president has ever done so much damage at home and abroad so quickly. \n\nTrump is the Deceiver and the Destroyer. Trump doesn't care if his voters figure it out. They are no longer needed.

Donald Trump, the Manchurian candidate, truth always being more amazing than fiction. Is an elected President then the USA people deserves whatever happens for voting based on sympathy better than intelligence. Well done,

WELL DONE PRESIDENT TRUMP.....

Trudeau is far from perfect. He has done some stupid stuff during his time as PM and before he was PM. But I will never doubt his love for Canada and appreciate him standing up to the Trump Administration. Yes, of course he has a speech writer. But so does the president and well, one is articulate and the other is a blabbering idiot. I'll let you decide which is which. Hint: the one speaking here is the articulate one. ?

I’m Canadian and I’m terrified for us as well as all the innocent people that will be affected by this. I find it curious though that past presidents haven’t made any remarks, at least that I’ve seen, about all the things Trump has done in the last six weeks. Where are the condemnations about tariffs, the way Zelensky was treated and the fact that Trump is the one letting human traffickers (allegedly) across the border? As in Andrew Tate and his brother. Trump is the one allowing criminals in. Trump is the one about to sell gold cards to anyone for $5,000,000. That will include known terrorists.

Well done to Canadian president we free world is with you !!!..... trumps circus government must fall....his is Russian puppet

Well done, PM Trudeau. You made us proud as Canadians. You said it like it is. Donald, and I noticed you refrained from calling him President Trump because he is certainly not acting like a president, Donald is siding with our enemies, snuggling up to a malicious dictator rather than taking a stand for right and for the common good. He has absolutely no reason to impose tariffs and is actually breaking legal agreements to do so, but we all know that Trump believes he is above the law. If you like this speech, go and listen to Premier Ford of Ontario as he threatens to tariff all the energy which flows into the States or even just cut it off. Nobody wins in this war, certainly not Americans. But Elon and Donald don't care. They are filthy rich and will just plan chaos and world domination in their sandbox while everyone else in the USA takes the hit.

Question Americans and Press how Rich more rich will Trump be and is he aligning himself when he is DONE BEING PRESIDENT?! He is taking over companies and communities for Himself while using a USA badge as President. This is not Well and it is the SECOND MONTH OF THE YEAR WE HAVE 3&3/4 years left wow Jesus!!

Little Trump is not a president nor is he a businessman. He’s a scared little rat a draft dodger and think America if he was afraid to fight in the war then what makes us think that he would protect us now he’s a scared rat. He’s afraid of his own shadow. The family kids and the grandchildren are the ones that are going to feel the damage he will do to this country in four years. I feel so sorry for our men and women in the military now and our veterans are taking a pounding very sad . He’s only doing it to benefit for his own greed. Very sad human being. He’s miserable he’s depressed. You can see it in his face. He was a piece of shit to the American people before he ever even thought of being a president he owes contractors millions of dollars through his life no wonder he has a bull’s-eye on his back and they say he can’t sleep at night well, I wonder why he fucked the American people and he will keep fucking American people nobody will stop him He will keep fucking us until he’s done. And after all that damage that he will do to this country, in the four years it will be so damaged. It will never heal.

Well done Canada, the UK is so proud of you fighting off the Bully that is president Trump, who is turning his back your back against the world, whilst supporting the war criminal Putin. Listen to the world America Trump is the person causing all these problems for you. Do something about him, Vance and Musk.

???Kudos and well done Great Justin Trudeau✊ for Educating the dum dummer so called American Garbage President. Donald Trump is too Gramps and Stupid in the Brain ? to be a Leader of any Nation or President of any Nation. Is a Shame that those Americans that fall for all his lies and Propaganda to get him elected are bunch of BOZOS, because they are the one to face the dyer consequences.

???? well done President Trump

How I'd love to see this in Britian well done president Trump ❤

Well done President Trump. ????

Well done president Trump.....send them home.... hahahaha

Well done President Trump \nWell done \n??

Common sense approach well done President Trump.

Less than an hour Columbia is now sending their presidential plane to pick up those illegals. About time we have a president who stands up for our country. Job well done Trump, what an amazing week, lets not stop there keep on going.

Well done president Trump, they need to respect our country and laws !!!!!!! ???❤❤❤?❤❤????

At one time no South American country would have dared defy a US president and risk invasion and regime change, now they all openly defy Trump with abandon since the rise of BRICS. Colombia has applied to join BRICS and these retaliatory tariffs will simply speed that up. Colombia stated quite clearly - we will not accept undocumented migrants who have done nothing wrong but work, pay their tax and behave as excellent members of US society - basically Trump try somewhere else to dump your unwanted workers. Americans' favourite Colombian coffees have just become 25% more expensive, millions of cups of Colombian coffee is drunk the US every week. \n\nTrump’s ridiculous comment about Jordan, Egypt and other Gulf countries taking Palestinians whilst Gaza is rebuilt is equally stupid; those countries cannot accept forcibly expelled, ethnically cleansed Gazans because that would be a War Crime and render those countries liable to be accused of complicity in a War Crime by the International Court of Justice; they would also incur the wrath of their respective populations and put their governments at risk of being overthrown. \n\nAll the surrounding countries and the International Community needs to do is to flood Gaza with thousands of tons of humanitarian aid and millions of large family-sized tents, as well as mobile toilets and washing facilities. Supply bulldozers and rubble removing machinery to clean the land up as quickly as possible, as well as bomb detection kits to protect the children. The Gazan people are incredibly resilient and will happily live in tents whilst their country is being rebuilt around them, and the State of Palestine begins to emerge again. \n??

Trump not playing! Well done ✅ President Trump.

Trump in one week have done more then any president in years, well done mr Trump

Well done ✅ President Trump

Mexico’s Economic Apocalypse: My Personal Analysis\n\nThe imposition of a 25% tariff on all Mexican imports by the United States would be nothing short of an economic death sentence for Mexico. As someone deeply concerned about the integrity of U.S. borders, sovereignty, and the well-being of American citizens, I believe this tariff is both justified and necessary. Mexico has repeatedly ignored its responsibilities as a neighbor, and it is time for accountability. Let’s examine the devastating impact this tariff would have on Mexico in brutal, undeniable detail.\n\n\n---\n\nEconomic Collapse: A Nation on Its Knees\n\nMexico’s economy relies heavily on exports, with over 80% of its exports destined for the United States. A 25% tariff would obliterate Mexico’s competitive edge, pricing its goods out of the U.S. market. The result? A $100 billion annual loss in trade revenue—a wound so deep it would cripple the nation’s economy beyond repair.\n\nGDP Freefall: With exports constituting 28% of Mexico’s GDP, the tariff would slash growth rates and plunge Mexico into a severe recession. Entire industries would collapse under the weight of unsold goods and lost revenue streams.\n\nMassive Manufacturing Shutdowns: Mexico’s lifeblood industries—automotive, electronics, and steel—would face annihilation. Plants dependent on U.S. buyers would grind to a halt, leaving millions unemployed.\n\n\n\n---\n\nSocial and Humanitarian Crisis: A Nation in Chaos\n\nThe economic fallout wouldn’t just affect industries—it would decimate millions of lives:\n\nUnemployment Epidemic: With factories shuttered and exports decimated, unemployment would skyrocket, leaving millions of families destitute. Entire regions reliant on U.S. trade would become economic wastelands.\n\nHuman Desperation: Widespread poverty would fuel desperation, leading to a surge in crime, social unrest, and violence. Mexico’s already fragile social fabric would unravel, plunging the nation into chaos.\n\nMass Emigration: Unable to survive in their homeland, millions of Mexicans would flee to the United States, creating an unprecedented border crisis—ironically the very issue the tariff seeks to address.\n\n\n\n---\n\nFinancial Ruin: Mexico’s Peso in Freefall\n\nThe peso would face catastrophic devaluation, losing value faster than at any point in modern history. This would create:\n\nHyperinflation: Everyday goods would become unaffordable for the average citizen. The price of imported essentials—like medicine and machinery—would skyrocket.\n\nInvestor Exodus: Foreign investors, seeing no future for Mexico’s economy, would abandon the country. Capital flight would cause Mexico’s stock market to crash, sending shockwaves through the financial system.\n\n\n\n---\n\nThe Root Cause: Mexico’s Negligence\n\nMexico has brought this apocalypse upon itself through years of neglect and willful inaction:\n\nIllegal Immigration: Mexico has consistently allowed massive waves of illegal immigrants to flow across its northern border, destabilizing U.S. communities and eroding American sovereignty.\n\nDrug Trafficking: The unchecked trafficking of fentanyl and other deadly drugs through Mexican cartels has killed tens of thousands of Americans annually. Mexico has done little to combat this epidemic, allowing cartels to thrive.\n\nBroken Promises: Despite agreements and warnings, Mexico has failed to step up as a responsible partner. Words without action are meaningless, and the time for talk is over.\n\n\n\n---\n\nWhy Trump’s 25% Tariff is Justified\n\nPresident Trump’s 25% tariff isn’t just an economic tool—it’s a weapon of justice aimed at holding Mexico accountable for its negligence. Here’s why this move is essential:\n\n1. Securing U.S. Borders: Mexico’s failure to stop illegal immigration has forced the United States to act decisively. This tariff will compel Mexico to finally enforce its borders and prevent illegal crossings.\n\n\n2. Protecting American Lives: The flow of drugs like fentanyl must stop. By crippling Mexico’s economy, the tariff weakens the cartels that profit from this deadly trade.\n\n\n3. Economic Leverage: The U.S. is Mexico’s largest trading partner. Without access to the American market, Mexico’s economy collapses. This leverage ensures Mexico has no choice but to comply with U.S. demands.\n\n\n\n\n---\n\nA Brutal but Necessary Move\n\nYes, this tariff would cause unimaginable suffering in Mexico, but that suffering is a direct result of its government’s failures. President Trump is not to blame—Mexico is. By ignoring its responsibilities, Mexico has forced America to take a stand. The economic apocalypse that follows is the price Mexico must pay for its negligence.\n\nThis is not just about punishing Mexico—it’s about protecting the United States. It’s about securing our borders, saving American lives, and ensuring that the U.S. economy is not undermined by a neighbor that refuses to act responsibly. In the end, the 25% tariff is a painful but unavoidable reckoning for a nation that has long shirked its duties. The survival of Mexico’s economy depends entirely on its willingness to change course—and fast.

Mexico isn't your backyard-it's your trade partner.\nThis relationship isn't charity; it's mutually beneficial. Blaming Mexico for substance use issues ignores your responsibility as the largest demand drivers. Treat Mexico like a partner, not an incompetent employee, and take responsibility for your share of the problem. Blaming Mexico for the fentanyl issue is like an alcoholic blaming the bottle shop, even junior is an coke addict Claudia Sheinbaum has more balls than Donald Trump. It's about time someone stood up to n Trump and promised him a dose of his own medicine. Well done Mexico. Trump claims to be a gifted negotiator, but all he is is a self-glorifying bully. Claudia Sheinbaum has more balls than\nDonald\nTrump. But it is not Mexico and Canada who has a drug problem. It is America:) Americans don't realize how much they have advanced and grown, and know nothing of their marvelous culture. My president is an award winning environmental scientist with MULTIPLE degrees. We got it right!\nViva Mexico ??

Well because someone needed votes so bad that they broke r Laws for. And they want it all forever and for free. Amazing that no one is responsible for all this damage done. Most must have criminal records. But with no respect for r own people. We do not ever want them back after this?The Presidents from everywhere r responsible for this and expect president that steps in January to fix the fuck ups!?Well guess Trump and Elon Musk will have to send robot dogs to round this mess up. WTF It's disgusting to see such disrespect ?‍???

I respect your decision to leave Canada. You have to do what is right for you and your family. I am not religious but I believe that all peoe have the right to believe as they choose. I also find that Islam is one of the most peaceful, loving religions there is. I too am very unhappy with my government for standing by and supporting the genocide of Palastine. I support President Biden and he has done many wonderful things but the support Israel by my government and president makes me infuriated. It is wrong. My now 19 year old son,my mother who lives with us and myself are looking to move as well. We want some place with winter so we can sky, and snowboard and do all things we love without having to travel two states over. We will be looking to leave the country if Trump is reelected president. I wish you luck, love, and blessings and safe travels in your search for your new home.

Well usa is done for only chance is close borders and deport most if we didn’t get trump as an president everybody in USA is in trouble

I fully blame the democrats if we kept trump in office and let him build that d*** wall. None of this s*** would be happening.... Sorry, because of all the allegations and charges and shagants him. You can't run this time so TRUMP 2027! He was the first President office that did exactly what he said. He was going to do, and the reason why all these charges that literally every other politician OR CELEBRITIES has done or worse They they'll know that he gets in the office that a lot of them will be exposed and a lot of them will go to jail, prison AND/OR lose their status... Love him or hate him. He is trying to do what's best for the country. Well, the democrats and Joe Biden is literally just ready to run this place into the ground.
