I thought this guy had to resign! Pretty certain the Canadians don’t care for him and his corruption, but he fits in perfectly with CNN and the content they provide. No truth here. No transparency, and certainly not going to act in the best interest of his people.

Trump is thinking way beyond a trade war…it is way more destructive…..prepare to stay the course…for ALL …that this despicable act brings…never never ever give up. Appeasement only makes the aggressor stronger. Apparently this what the American people voted for???

Trueaderp really dont understand why inflation is going to and State is acting this towards Canada.? Its cause u fucked up really bad at everything you did.\nAllowing drugs and so many refugee that country cannot support. And now he is talking shit like he didn't do those. \nTruederp is such a bullshit. Conservative needs to take over

Quit acting like this is a guy who Canadians actually like. Trudeau is massively unpopular and will be gone very soon, when the new Prime Minister of Canada is put in place there will be a deal. Canada has run wild for far too long getting the best of us in every way now that it is fair they act as if they have been doing us favors all along when it has been the other way around.

This feels like a high-school acting class. Doesn't seem genuine in the slightest.

This man has destroyed the great country of Canada and should be imprisoned for his acts. He is a disgusting human being and a communist!

Everyone acting like the US doesn’t carry the whole world lmao all these countries wouldn’t be shit without us?

That is how a politician acts in public not like Trump with no education

Why Are People acting SURPRISED DONALD TRUMP IS A CONVICTED FELON WHO HAS PARTNERED AND ESTABLISHED AN ALLIANCE WITH ANOTHER CRIMINA???

As an american , I am absolutely appalled and angry at how trump and his people are acting. It's a disgrace , it's an embarrassment , and it's unacceptable. I don't take the red pill every day, so i'm not in the red haze. If you do take that pill every day, this will all affect you too. So good luck with that!! Your god will be gone in four years and then we'll switch everything back to normal!!

If our military insiders know that Trump is compromised by Putin, why are they not doing their duty to protect us from enemies both foreign and domestic? Are they waiting for Trump to do so much damage that his approval rating reaches a specific low before acting, or are they useless to protect us? I hope it's not the latter, considering how much tax payer money has gone into the US military over the deades. Talk about waste and abuse.

You have no right to speak on our behalf as Canadians !!! You resigned......so ACT resigned !!!! Step DOWN......NOW.....PLEASE !!!

Warren Buffet said Trump’s tariffs are an act of war. I agree.

I wish the USA had an adult to lead it like Canada and not a bully who acts like a spoiled child that needs a time out. Trump just go golfing every minute of every day for the next three years and leave the American people to live with the world.

I’m not a fan of Trudeau but he speaks in a calm rational manner. He is polite but firm. I’m an American and although I agree with some of Trumps ideas, being rude and not thinking things through before acting, is inexcusable. We have enemies all over the world and now we have even turned our friends against us. The drug problem is an American problem, not Canada or Mexico. We can’t keep guns from entering Mexico, arming the cartels, how can we expect the Mexican government to keep drugs out of America?

Class act

Trump was cozy with putin in his first term whi is so many people acting like they didn't know that trump and putin are friends ?

Isn't Trudeau getting forced to resign? Why is he acting like he'll continue to be in power?

God bless Canada! Canada should be the shining example of how the US should act. Shame on the orange turd!!!

More and more obvious every day. Trump is owned by PUTIN! He acts as an enemy toward we American people, and toward our true allies. He MUST be removed from power immediately. He is compromised and unfit to lead or to represent the real United States of America!! Just look at all the damage he has done already!!!

Canada saved over 400 Americans from the Irans regime .. 34 planes laned during 911 in Newfoundland.. fought in Iraq together .. Donald is a weak man desperately pretending to be strong, a small-minded person acting as if he's important. He's devoid of morals but pretends to be righteous. He's the aggressor always playing the victim. Deep down, he’s just a coward.

Can he be my president that's what a president should act and be

He is so feminine it’s comical when he tries to act tough.

PM Trudeau is how a leader should speak and act.

Canada you are standing strong and proud in this unnecessary, unwarranted trade war. You have much respect and admiration from this US citizen and many others.\n\nUnfortunately, our sitting US President is acting as though he thinks he is an Apex predator. America is going to seriously regret letting this man reach this level of power.

He said it all... americans need to act now to save themselves

Absolutely it's not a trade war and don't try to incite blind nationalism. The tariff to be imposed on Canada by US clearly is a demand/indication forcing Canada to look into then curb the drug problem, which has already destroyed Canada and endangered the national security of US. Wake up and act sensibly before it's too late to save Canada.

Could Canada Win a Trade War?\n Trump has waged Economic War on Canada in order to bring us to our knees so that we will eventually capitulate to become the 51st state.\n\n Had he come in a nice way, as a friend verses a foe, he would have had a lot more interest, especially from Alberta. \n\n Now that we are here, the question has to be asked, can we actually win a trade war that has probably been extensively war-gamed by the U.S.?\n\n Our politicians want us to go toe to toe with a 900 lb gorilla. The U.S. economy is at least 10 times our size and are less dependent on our trade than we are. We may give them a black eye but they could rip our arms and legs off. \n\n Retaliatory tariffs play into their hands. It’s the perfect excuse to increase the tax to 50 or 100%. So will we do the same? This would devastate us, achieving their goals.\n\n Canadians are already fighting back without the government making things worse. People are boycotting U.S. goods en masse and cancelling travel plans, etc. and this is already having a strong effect.\n\n Some say turn off the electricity and oil, but who will pay price? It will be the businesses and employees, not the politicians who are now trying to act tough. If we want this to turn into a real kinetic war, then turning off the taps may do it. \n\n We have seen countless times where politicians tell us what we want to hear, making us think they are heading is a certain direction, only to find they do the exact opposite. This proves you can not believe what career politicians say and have to go by what they do, or don’t do, instead. Yet now, they confidently declare that Canada will never become the 51st state. This should raise eyebrows. \n\n Almost all of the MPs and Premiers are unanimous in entering into a trade war we can not win. After tariffs go ballistic, our dollar drops to .35 cents, and we get utterly crushed, I can see them say, “in order to save what’s left of our economy and society we must reluctantly join the U.S. or face certain destruction”. \n\n Not only would the decades old goal of a North American Union be accomplished, but we would take a large step towards the video statement that the World Economic Forum - WEF posted on their website. “By 2030, you will own nothing and be happy”. \n\n The WEF is working with the UN to achieve their Agenda 2030 goals and is what Pierre Poilievre and the “Conservatives” signed Canada onto Sept. 27, 2015. This is what Trudeau has been implementing. Mark Carnie, Pierre, and Jagmeet Singh would finish off the job. Read the redistribution of wealth goal #10. Are you feeling poorer yet? Remember, one has to dig deeper to see through the document’s ultimate double speak written for public consumption. \n\n There is much more going on than meets the eye. Our best defence is to not play into their hands. A much better plan needs to be developed by minds who see the big picture for creative solutions, and it does not seem to be those in office now

The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930... this is what caused the world-wide depression. I thought that the governing have learnt... Oh, how naive I was.

Canada, Mexico, and China will lose. If you don't know, you don't know. Trudeau has acted with his feelings.. not with the interest of his people. It will take a minute for the left blinded to understand.. GOOD LUCK!

Justin Trudeau is all about acting

Hey Maga morons! That’s how a nations leader speaks,acts and behaves and those are actual facts not the never ending lies that comes out of bloated Criminal mouth you call a leader.

This is how a President acts. Not a stupid bully like the clown sitting in the White House.

Americans: You may think Trudeau is acting like a golden boy. His approval rating from his OWN country is a terrible 34% . He needs to step down like he has been taking about since November.

This guy acts like we like it here tho

As a Ukrainian Canadian, I feel like I've been stabbed in the back twice—first by Russia and now by USA once-close ally. I hope Americans use their democracy wisely and act urgently because if they stay silent, they risk becoming like the Russians who stood by and did nothing to protect their closest neighbors from a dictator.

trump is acting under putins orders .to do his masters bidding ...Trump is 100 percent in putin pocket ..wake up american !

Its not all Americans but the ones who support Trump deserve what they get , your leader is completely unhinged and causing hardship to all Americans it closest allies and chaos through-out the world while only defending dictator countries Americans need to get Trump out of office before before things much worst act now

Not once did he talk about why this is happening? He says he's our friend but saying it is one thing. Actions speak louder Trudeau. Mr. Trump asked you to meet him to get balanced fair trade. You say you are our friend. But, yet you don't want fair and balanced trade. Hmmm, common sense goes a long. Tariff is a smart way to let you know that your certainly not acting like the friend and ally you say you are. This could all go away, but the truth is your demonrat supporter who lies, misleads the truth, and blames others. We the people don't tolerate that any longer and don't appreciate it. Shame on you!

He is really a class act. Imagine if he was the US president!

As an American I am so sorry for the pathetic acts of that man who isn't my president. He has the job and he's fucking it up properly. I am sorry. We are sorry. We will make up for this in the future and history will hold the asshole responsible. Again I'm sorry. We don't want this. They don't listen and our elected representatives are underpowered and weak to fix things.\n\nAre you guys taking American political refugees yet? I'm ready to come north.

Stop the Lawless treasonous American dictator and the complicit GOP. We stand with Canada and Our Democratic Allies NOT PUTIN THE MURDERER! Stop the Lawless treasonous dictator and the complicit GOP. They are also working on methods to skew the midterms through more Voter Suppression ?. Write to your senators ask them to get creative. Ask them to implement a special election by the people with majority rule to oust the dictator! Ask them to shut down the government do anything to stop this coup. We cannot wait for the midterms. They will have once again manipulated them by then! Write your senators and Congressmen/Women, THEY MUST ACT NOW!!!

Please pay attention United States of America: this is what an ACTUAL president should look, sound and act like: like the ADULT in the room. But what YOU chose is a belligerent child, a con man, a sex offender, a fraud, an adulterer and an illiterate clown.

People acting like Canada doesnt have tariff on the US already.

Canada has treated the US like crap for so long. Trudeau acts so innocent but if anyones a dictator its Trudeau. Free speech is dead in Canada and we all saw what he did durring covid. Arresting people for having home church!! Treats his country like crap. All he cares about are his European buddies.

If Trudeau acted like this and primarily focused on the economy he would’ve been unstoppable \n\nI hate Trudeau but what a good speech man

But is trump acting as a person who for sure cares n love the people of America ??..or he doesn't it for himself.... people are indeed going through the economic crisis n now see this today..!!

He is acting as if this is only going to hurt Americans when it will literally cripple his country. He is failing his people.

Trudeau is covering his butt he,s a liar corrupt evil person now trying to act like the victim he is full of crap guys and truth and exposure will be shown

Trump has made us the enemy of every country except Russia. Not smart. The u.s will feel this. When people like Warren Buffet says this is an act of war well if you have spent time in the military you know trade wars are acts of war. America brace yourself.
