Sorry Canada that we chose a psychopath to lead us into the gutter. Hope this makes you less reliant on the U.S. who never puts its citizens first but instead the rich & corporations.

Imposing tariffs means ordinary Americans pay more, reducing their disposable income. And then there comes the tax cut, which disproportionally benefits the rich. This is essentially socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor. Trump knows how to make Billionaires even richer.

I see the 3 countries as 3 siblings and the middle child always gets the bad end and the other two never really get it...remember unless you lived it, don't assume that Americans are living like rich people.

Is this the beginning of the fall of America? A president who cared more for the rich and less of the common people. The cycle continues.

No big surprise, here. Trump announced 25% tariffs some time ago. Not much leadership, other than Captain Ford waving his new ball cap! Rich people can afford tariffs, we ordinary people are the one's to feel the pain. Nothing new again!

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.\nA greedy man stirs up strife, but the one who trusts in the Lord will be enriched\nOne gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.\nCome now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days. Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. ...

The Bible contains many verses that warn against greed and the desire for riches. The Bible says that greed is a selfish desire for more, often money or power, that can lead to ruin.

No worry, Trump is rich he will give his millions cash to Americans haha

Canada is Rich with Natural resources. I think Trump did a favor to Canadians. It's time for Canadian politicians and Canadians to grow back bone and Start taking care of Canada as a patriot and Put Canada First.

F that. Canadians don’t need to retaliate. Mr Cheeto is a crooked old schoolyard bully and I for one don’t want to play his game. We need to do what’s best for Canadians - find other trading partners, develop manufacturing within our borders, etc. and above all be smart. \nSomeone will benefit from trade wars and it’s not going to be regular Americans or Canadians. This is just another way to squeeze the life out of regular citizens while the rich get richer.

Justin T is a puppet. Mostly of Canadians cannot wait for him to go.\nPresident Trump should increase the tariff. \nThey are not the only country who has rich resources.

The only reason Trump puts tariffs is to replace the taxes of the rich with import taxes that will be paid mainly by the poor. It is about pleasing the rich.

Did you see what they did ? another sneaky trick for the rich to screw the citizens

the average joe from Canada/US/Mexico will be the one that suffer the most, as they are the one that pay the bill after tariff imposed, but for the rich and the politician, it's not concerning them at all !!

CANADA ?? IS RICH IN RESOURCES. WE WILL SEE HOW THE 400 MILLION AMERICANS SURVIVE WITHOUT CANADIAN SUPPLIES.

As usual, the poor will get subsidized, the rich won't really give a sh.. , the govt will collect more taxes, and the regular folk will pay.

Cancel taxes on the Rich. Subsidies their bankruptcy. The poor will pay tariff to their government whenever they buy necessary goods like gas, etc.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, REGULAR PEOPLE PAY THE PRICE ? NOT THE GOVERNMENT OR THE RICH PEOPLE ?

Anti-Trump is Pro-American. This corrupt president is against the people. Tariffs combined with his other tax cuts are a plot to shift more tax burden off his oligarch cronies and onto the poor and middle class despite the out-of-control wealth inequality destroying our democracy. Don't forget that he never closed tax loopholes (carried interest for example) exploited by the rich like he promised. He wants to distract while he robs and enslaves us. It is sad that it has come to this. I just ask the allies of the American people to please look for ways to specifically punish the oligarchs and politicians responsible rather than the many American people who are on your side.

Raising tariffs are effectively the same as raising taxes, which is something that Americans have been crying to do for years. Whether you are raising taxes on the rich or levying tariffs, at the end of the day, the cost will be passed down to the consumer. From the perspective of a producer, is there really a difference between a tariff and a tax?

Making rich richer and poor poorer.

this whole show its about to tax the people instead of his rich overlords

No matter what we will powerful if we are not rich!

We've got plenty of people that know how to do border work for years and years.... We don't need a loud mouth to plow drive theories that he's just grabbing out of the air..... If all we needed was a rich man to run the world.... Wait a minute isn't he the hypothesized bad guy?

When since you Americans are barely surviving?..the way you are boasting about America we thought you all are rich...this is why those people wants to come there and experience some of the 'good' life you all claim to be having. America is not a nice place to live because the people there have no class morals, behavior and are crude and crass to other humans. I am Jamaican and would never live in THAT RAT HOLE called America ????

This is a Game against Poor by Rich Americans

Let this be a wake up call to African governments so that they know how to govern their countries. Africa is so rich for its people to be poor

President Donald Trump has stated that he will improve the United States economy with massive deportation of undocumented migrants\n, layoffs of government workers , deep cuts in social security benefits for disabled citizens or the elderly , and reduction of medicaid . \n However , a significant number of Americans are unaware that Trump is also planning to reduce the taxes for the rich , and give billions of more money to Israel or engage in unwinnable wars in West Asia . It should also be noted that Trump's theories to make America great again will have a disastrous effect on the economy or on life in the United States, especially because he is also about to start a trade war by significantly increasing tarrifs or duties on imported goods and products from China, Canada and Mexico \nAs a result, the Trump plan for the next four years may simply make America poor again.

You have a lot of people can fight your government if you want free and be rich．American fought to great Britain to get freedom and rich . And you people just want to enjoy their free . It is \nShameful. Go back to your country and fight to your government to earn the freedom and wealth.

If you have watched for the past 4 years this is how they did it. They let all the thugs and military style men and the prisoners from other country's in . Not to many family's came usual singles in groups dragging children through the gap.few women they rated and tortured the girls and little boys. Now these people are coming in massive amounts. 1 million was on back log already approved just had to get an appointment date. It was cut off from these ppl and they are mad because they gave up or sold everything based on Joe Biden And Kamala lies and treason selling out our country to the UN. The UN gave these ppl thousands to come .single men were told they were going to be soldiers when they got here. But UN stop reloading their visa cards with so much money. It gives on and on. Trust they will continue to take over. American best wake up and stop letting the communist Marxist Democrat devide us. Jeffries said today they will take the fight to the street. AOCdid too last week in a post on X. Do you think any of those rich democrats going to help.DjT gave 24 million to help hurricane victims on the coast. Nancy P has 300million do you think she would give 25.million to Cali. Heck no. Her and Newsom ripped billions off. Only Jesus Christ ?.

Thing is the oh so bright Kamala went there and told them they could come and our constitution and laws didn't apply to them. It was all set up to destroy America and then if you remember Joe signed something with Mexico and Canada giving up sovernty-to our border. Venezuela president a bad boy. He let his prison open for them to come here and Mexico agreed to let them all come through. Drug and human trafficking. I hate it for these ppl but the USA is broke. We borrow money every year to send money and aide to other country's. Why? They all have rich lands .they sell it out to China then the citizens suffer just like here in the USA. Gov. Needs to be giving us a check each year for what they sell out of the earth here. Only the Gov.officals get kickbacks. It's theft in all sense.

Ethiopian immigrants have a very beautiful soul!?? I do respect laws and regulations but immigrants from Africa have enough reasons to be illegal immigrant in US and I can pray only for them to be safe and successful in thier home country. Africa is rich and beautiful, only the leaders are corrupted!!!

Ya but he's letting the rich white ones stay? What's the problem?

“Reality that Americans can’t find homes themselves”. Yea not because of overpopulation it’s because of selfish rich landlords price gouging. The idiocy is embarrassing

Theyre being used by very rich people, have some Compassion ❤

A country like Nigeria ,its citizens should be respected in a working system ,but corrupt politicians in collaboration with western powers bloggers kept the country in poverty ,they turn back and cry about illegal immigration ,very hypocritical people ,such a rich and blessed country but they are always begging for loan from IMF and other foreign aid just to buy properties abroad with the same funds...shameful. I see a new prosperous Nigeria and we can build it to become the giant of Africa...we have every thing it takes ranging from GOLD,OIL AND MAN POWER.

I don’t like all this talk of “bad people”. I want every single one of them out of this country. I want my wages to skyrocket and my rent to plummet; that’s why the rich hate this. More for us, less for them.

There is in fact no actual housing shortage in the USA whatsoever. The problem is that that wealthy individuals have strong incentives to park excess capital in real estate and landlords have strong incentives to maintain asset values through cash flow potential (appraised through $/sq.ft rent revenues). What ends up happening in both cases is that you end up with lots of empty houses sitting collecting dust artificially gaining value due to scarcity, and with rentals, you end up with perpetually inflated rents and vacancy rates that are as high as a landlord can tolerate just to maintain the appearance of value to the lenders. Often these owners will borrow more money and use an apartment that might be 40% vacant as the collateral for the lender and go buy another building and so on. What people don't penalize is the fact that that 40% vacant building with 60% rented out at above fair value gets treated on the balance sheet to the bank as if its 90% rented out from an asset value perspective thereby setting the asset price artificially high. Simple legislation of the tax code can fix this issue and unlock lots of sidelined housing. All we have to do is progressively tax 2nd 3rd 4th ect. homes higher and higher rates that essentially cancel out the asset gains, and do something similar for vacant units in a apartment building. \nIts just at the core a case of the rich hoarding something that has been made artificially rare. On top of all of this, because of how valuable properties have become, there are now many interests that capitalize on the entire process of building new housing that make it ever more expensive. Our taxes are funding numerous regulators that stymie new development, while the developers have to then hire numerous attorneys and planners to pitch a project and litigate it through the cities to get approvals. This can take over 10 years in a major city. All this contributes to the ridiculous costs of building these days.

Trump is not going after the pharmaceutical industry to lower the prices of medications, he is not going after private equities that are destroying affordable housing and health care, he is not trying to make health care affordable, he hasn't lowered the prices of food ?? , he is not going to make the rich pay taxes BUT, BUT, BUT he is going after the most vulnerable people in the form of a SHOW to keep his voters from noticing what he isn't going to do for them to live with decency.

Don’t Indians have life?! Even rich come here. Despicable.

My family has been here for many many generations and some of them were native Americans. Now I am in my 70's and cannot stretch my social security to last 4 weeks. But the past biden regime gave the invaders millions and refused to give the senior citizens a survivable raise and it is our own money. LBJ stole from ss and all the other government thieves stealing from the tax payers to support the invaders. The invaders spread the word that the U S A will make them rich so here they come. Deport all of them and close the border. I am sick and tired of supporting all of these other countries.

My inquiry is this: why are they so desperate to flee Mexico to begin with?\n\nContemplating via perspective shifts: not all Mexican citizens are crooks and bad, just as not everyone in Los Angeles rich and famous.\n\nFact: Since USA is gar far behind, this bordering protection is very necessary. If USA continues to lack care for its own citizens, it won't be able to help Mexican citizens either eventually.

Colonist Trump you can not sustain you will be back fired you are not oly the rich country in the world

As far as healthcare goes the US is a 3rd world country, where, only the rich can afford to see a doctor, or visit a hospital. You have thousands of people living on the streets, with NO help, or concern. America is no different than Bangladesh, or Ethiopia, for having a part of your society living on the street, begging for food, or money. When the US starts caring for ALL of it's people, regardless of skin color, race, or background, and give them a hand up, like most CIVILIZED societies do, you'll always be a 3rd world country. America had a chance to elect a president that would have turned America into a first world power with Kamala Harris, and Tim Waiz, but, you blew it, you re-elected the worst president, EVER with trump, who will finish the job of ruining America, and make it totally poverty-stricken. WOW, you'd think Americans are all millionaires, the way they turned out, for trump! Did NONE of you listen to what Kamala was offering? Because this half blind, mostly deaf old Canadian heard every word, her promise of a bottom-up building more opportunities for poor, and working class families, new taxes on the rich, and corporations to pay for it. Kamala offered a GREAT deal, a more secure future, more OPPORTUNITIES,,,,, And you all turned her down. You voted for a stalker and rapist, a traitor, and criminal, with multiple convictions, a liar, and cheat, trump. I guess you get what you deserve.

Trump voters are to ignorant to understand that the billionaire class and their control over our politicians including Trump is why everything is expensive now. They would rather blame immigrants and that’s never going to solve the problems that we face as a country. We will just waste more money and 4 years from now everything will be even more expensive, the gap between the rich and the poor will have grown and Trump will be laughing all the way to the bank.

The first thing Obama did after becoming president was to visit Hugo Chavez in Venezuela to be lectured on how to run a progressive socialist country. Chavez was his hero and model. Chavez looted his once rich country. Is this what the Dems. Want for the US?

Stay in India, make our culture and economy so strong that people in other countries should be desperate and struggle to come to our country. We are amazingly rich but due to our own people's mentality we suffer.

U r not talking reality. 80 crore Indian's r getting free rations out of 140 crore, That is around 60%. Some r middle class and upper class and only 5% r super rich who hold massive wealth. It means in India wealth is in the hands of a few ppl. Basically India is a very poor country. Pls stop propagating lies nd fake news. Fifth largest economy but what is the per capita income of ppl of India? Peanuts.

Hey trump can I go back home too since my grandparents arrived in 1917 as immigrants rich went to Manhattan then moved to cleveland id live to be deported back home right back to europe
