LMAO, Trudeau talking to us Americans like we have a say. WTF are we gonna do? Drag the Repubs out of the White House? No thanks. I appreciate having living quarters outside of Gitmo. These assholes need to just keep having a go at each other and leave us the fuck out of it. It's their show anyway. None of them ever follow our will. If they did, we wouldn't have charter schools and public schools wouldn't have been an absolute joke before Trump started trying to shut it down.

Trump! What do u hope to gain! Im gonna tell Jesus on uou!

Haha America is NOT hurt at all, but Canada is. We have given trillions of our tax gollars to Canada for no reason, Canada wants the USA to give and give and take and take, but now you’re gonna pay up, only uneducated people are influenced be the trash spewing spouting out of this man’s mouth, we want our money back, I think we should take Canada by FORCE and show you there is nothing you can do!!!

Thank you, USA to who ever supports us here in Canada thank you. It’s gonna be a tough go with Trump in office hopefully not for too long.??

It all come from the master of chaos, à président who create conflict and divisions..\nAnd so weak with autocrates leader...The good Américans gonna have To regain the country and the real démocracy.

Putin's trump ally ? y'all mega gonna pay the price ?

Ask him how he knows a lying, murdering dictator.!..takes one to know one. He is a POS ??? nobody wants him here. He can go to hell with his BFF Klaus Schwab…gonna wipe Fentanyl off the planet, are you, dumb-dumb?!

Canada gonna lose n they know it . They dont mind us paying tariffs . Why do any Americans want us to pay but not them . Because u not too smart

There's many reasons not to like Trudeau up here in Canada, many of which are the reason he'll (rightfully) no longer be the PM next week. As a conservative I hated him for SNC-Lavalin (among other scandals), and the fact that his inexperience with the economy Harper left him is probably part of why this trade war is going to hurt more than it could have, and the fact that he's often been kind of a phony more concerned with looking and sounding good for the press cameras. Not this time. Nothing phony here; I've got to give credit to him for capturing the national mood pretty much perfectly with this speech. Good on him. \n\nAnd congratulations as well to Donald for pretty much handing the Liberals their best shot at a fourth term, too. What an absolute idiot. Normally I'd turn my nose up at having to vote Liberal, but I am so, so sick of the brand of empty populism Trump stands for that it looks like that's what I'm gonna be doing come election time.

? That pillow bitter isn’t gonna do JACK SHIT

1:21 Those non-tariff measures are gonna hit some states hard.. THIS IS BAD!

I own a design agency in LA, this affected all my brands and my clients brands more than 50% in profits already, I’m trying to adjust their business models but is not gonna work, the consumers will have to pay the price, there is no other way around, businesses won’t survive without their profits.

An american living in Germany. The Canadians were (and are) my neighbors. I grew up in Maine, and no one one should piss off Canadians, it can only go bad. But EXACTLY that is what trump wants, that everything goes bad. It is not only going bad, everything is going to shit, my fellow americans are too stupid to notice or care. This is gonna really backfire for the usa, either Civil War, or WW3, trump wants nothing less.

Trudeau and everyone else thinking Trump is an ally or a friend is sadly mistake. Trump is gonna ruin the world in 4 years or less. He needs to be removed from office now.

Standing up to the bully... This is gonna be a showdown..

I mean, things have to get worse before it gets better! In order to bring companies back to the U.S., something has to be done to make them come back. Surely people didn't think that it was gonna be an easy road to bring these companies back home? Tariffs are the only thing that'll make these folks come back. Yeah, we will have to bite the bullet until it all comes to past!

trump is gonna cripple the United States so he can sell us to Russia! Someone start impeachment please!

I wish the rest of the world could understand how divided the US is because of Trump. I hate being lumped into the same group that voted for him. Preach on Trudeau. Shed some truth to the MAGA crowd that thought Trump was gonna revitalize the economy and lower inflation.

Yer thinking obiden is still in office. No, terd toe, your wrong. Especially talking about Russia, you are and have always been under our umbrella of protection and ya better watch yer tide pal because without our umbrella yer gonna get soppin wet, and from Russia!

Greetings from Europe, Germany?? ✌?what a speech ?? we should cooperate even more, I’m gonna go buy some extra delicious maple syrup right tomorrow, it goes so well in shakes, pancakes and crepe ?? I’m exited and corious if we have more Canadian products in our stores this year. ?♥️

What are they gonna do withhold the maple syrup

Trump is gonna separate us from all our allies, he wants a territory that looks like old world, Russia. Tearing our government apart and leaving it vulnerable to oligarchs we need to do something now to stop this shit.!

LMAO Canada had tarriffs on the US and now we respond with reciprocal tarriffs and they cry. and they have an open border allowing criminals and drugs to enter the us...lmao cry babies. we dont need Canada, and btw no more money for you buddy. your gonna miss that 200 billion subsidy .

The US was an example, a role model for most of the entire world and it reversed in a matter of weeks. We are living absurd times. It is sort of a nightmare. Why is the US isolating itself, picking ridiculous fights with friends? If the American people don’t react to this and get rid of the madman, it’s gonna end badly… 4 the Americans.

When are people gonna start telling the truth? Donald isn't smart, his government is clearly a russian asset, he's got the mental acuity of a four year old. America, wtf are you doing, stop watching the news, get to Washington....

Well trump just created a lot of new criminals. Because I'm gonna have to break bad just to feed my family. So if you got anything of value lock it up because my rent is coming due.

To all Canadians this guy just dragged all of you into World War III President Trump tried to stop the war, but Zelinski Trudeau are Democrats and the European leaders. Want to continue the war. Also, does anything grow in the winter time up there in Canada? How are you gonna eat if you boycott the United States

this idiot needs to go.... Canada is gonna suffer a lot due to the tariff.... their jobs will be in trouble.

This guy is an idiot and I’m sorry Canada that you have them as your Prime Minister say what you want about Trump. This guy is definitely a disgrace with no backbone of his own. He just looks like a sad, pathetic man. Why would you want him running your country he looks weak. He speaks weak. All he’s gonna do is hurt your country.

Trump must be removed from office immediately if u gonna save America \nBecause he is Putins marionett puppet and going his arrends and dismantle the great us of America. Safety. Government. Security and all allies i am crying to see this happen to a great nation with one lunatic people must stopp Donald immediately \nSorry from Sweden

I didn't agree with the tariff to begin with. Guess who's gonna end up footing the bill?

You’re awesome ! Can we come there! Help us! He’s gonna get us all killed!!!!

FYI America. Here in Ontario we produce one third of North America’s electrical output. Most of which we send down south. Some of y’all are gonna have some cold dark nights ahead.

No matter how powerful the US economy is, its gonna crumble against tarrifs from all their western trading partners. Not the smartest move, Donny ?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a “made in Canada” tag?? yeah the 2% imports you guys give us isn’t gonna been seen at all

As a cross border truck driver… these tariffs are gonna destroy North America as a whole Canada and the US are reliant on each other

Lots of US business big and small gonna go bankrupt cuz of Trump

I like Trudeau. He is a smart guy. The world is changing and we need to make new alliances. I also think that the US gonna leave NATO. We gonna fight for our freedom!

We all have to work together and if we accomplish that we can do anything why do we need to be greedy at first will start with us and then every everybody else will fall in line that’s why we have peace, treaties, and peace talks, and the UN so they can see how the United States are willing partner that’s gonna help and do the right thing They look at us for that now we have a president doesn’t care and he wants to make sure everybody thinks that we think like that no, we don’t think like that please get it together before the most high come down and get it together for you if you don’t know what you’re doing because he trusted you with usthe American people?

Yo Trump, Canadians are wild, bro. They may be polite and all but not in a fight. They know how to fight dirty… like really dirty. Buckle up American! Ol’ boy Trump gonna get us in a big mess.

Canada has always been our friend. WTF is this felon 45 doing???!!! Felon 45 is going to get us all bankrupt! Hell, he's gonna get us all killed!

This only gonna hurt the working people, how does this help anyone . It only benefits the government

Trudeau and the country Canada are also been gifted and lied to by Donald Trump all the wonderful things that he said that he and Donald did together we’re all self-serving for Donald. He never has any intention to keeping allies happy that chainsaw that they broke out on the world stage is coming for everybody. But guess what we’re not gonna stand for it. They thought they were pandering this to a bunch of sleeping idiots but we’re awake and we have been awake. What a decent and humanitarian president going to figure out how he can help Canadian businesses whether this storm while Americans are left in the dust with their cabinet of curiosities screwing them over with no way to survive. I can already hear Trump’s read to the media. Canada has not done enough on the final on fentanyl they haven’t done enough. I told them they had to do XYNZ and they haven’t done enough. He’ll lie to everybody all over again, like every day of his life, the biggest liar.

The free world has been hurting trump friends for the last 3 years, so now he is in office he's gonna hurt the free world.

Its the trump admins new world order. He gonna snuggle up to Putin while crippling his adversaries. Gonna cripple us in the process so we can't fight back.

The maggots this is what you voted for. He ran every business he ever owned the ground bankrupt at casinos and you voted for this. Enjoy the ride you’re gonna pay Bigley.

It's not a trade war, he did it because canada allowed illegal immigrants over the US border. He knows what he did was wrong and the borders are there for a reason. He fucked up, not America. And good luck canada, your gonna suffer because of these counter tariffs.

Ok Trumpers. If your boy really is playing 8 dimensional chess..and really isn’t a freakin IDIOT, \nThen he better show some results on this ASAP. ‘Cause unlike everything else the last 4 years you CANT blame this on Biden, Obama, the “left”, immigrants, or china. \nRemember: THIS IS what YOU WANTED. \nThis one is ALL on you. \nUnfortunately tho, we all get to go on this ride…\nAnd we’re all gonna eat shit if you’re wrong. \nSo Let’s see what your messiah has up his sleeve…
