THIS HAS SHOWN THE ACTUAL INSANITY OF THIS CROP OF LEADERS TODAY MANNING THE HELM OF AFFAIRS OF THE US GOVERNMENT. WHEN WILL THIS MADNESS STOP?

I actually want to disagree with Trudeau on something here.... Donald is not a smart man.

daily reminder that people actually voted for this

We can gather everything that the pundits are saying. Just play the video of what the actual important person is saying. A bunch of people working at CNN who just want their faces on camera.

I was almost born in Canada but because of an thyroid illness they did not aprove my mom to come to Canada (late 50`s) So my dad and grandfather decided to stay in the Netherlands. I have a soft spot for Canada........ could have been my home country. Good luck to all of us against dictators and bullies in this world. Who would have thought this will happen after 80 years of peace after a terrible world war and now becoming a threath again because of a few, so called wise men but actually todlers that never want to give in.

“Let’s be clear Frenchman………\nPeople who actually serve my country are now being fired at alarming rates by rising oligarchs, and world traitors of international world trade….Those who will never set fire to the original constitution of the United States Of America nor will they break the humane will of the American people…”\n\nAs you were\n????‍?????‍⬛???‍?‍➡️?

Canada had an Ukraine WW2 Nazi in their parliament and gave him a standing ovation. Until they realized who he actually was…. ?

If look at another perspective, if Trump did not impose tarrifs, then Canada will continue to sell the cars back to US for high profits. Trump mentioned about this, he is not happy. Actually I can understand Trump and what he is trying to do. If he is not harsh, Canada will never change taking advantage of US, not spending on own military.... Etc. US empire is declining fast, and Trump knows this. He is desperate to make his own country great again and stop the decline even though what he must do is going to be very unpopular among all americunts' friends and allies. The same for EU and troublemaker Ukraine who started the war by arrogantly provoking giant superpower neighbor Russia. US cannot afford to fund money, soldiers, weapons for war anymore. If EU wants to support, EU can go ahead without US. Trump is trying to save his own country so he is not wrong.

Why does England, keep wanting to colonize the u.s, after making Joe Biden president and actually controlling the country try for some time? They lose, now want to use their pawns to use force, take control and then using their real name, say it wasn’t them?

A speech that actually makes sense. A whole speech dedicated to a single topic with complete sentences, delivering a clear message without personal insults or belittling. Something Vladimir Trump is incapable of. Almost like a parallel world/universe.

It's okay Trudeau, tRump is just jealous of you because his wife thinks you are hot. Good looking, fit and trim and actually have an education, not just something daddy bought.

Germany here: Donald,,, how would your Citizen like 100% tariffs on German - European Cars ? Porsche Mercedes Audi BMW Ferrari Lamborghini RR Bentley and so on and so on .... I guess they will love it :D we could give this tariff money to UA and they will recover. DJ Trump thinks he is Batman, but he is just a dumb version of the Joker. America will go back to wild wild west and citizen which im very sorry for will not like this i guess. \nJT is right, this actually is a very dumb thing to do :D hahaha

It is all lies. He uses fear and hate to bully our allies. He used fear and hate to win the election (and im not convinced they didnt actually cheat to win) and im not sure he even won. What a shit show. I love the movie millers crossing. I wish someone would take them on a long walk in the woods.

The same hypocrits who screamed Russian collusion, who said masks stop the spread of covid, the same people who said America should allow ilegals come thru our borders , the same people who said Jan 6 was an organized insurrection to keep Trump in power, the same America traitors who told us Antifa and BLM riots who burnt our cities were peaceful and that those who were let in the Capitol on Jan 6 were insurrentionists. The same people who wants us to believe there are unlimited genders and that kids can decide their gender and surgically reverse their biology. The same people who told us 2020 elections were legit and wanted to believe that 82 millions actually voted for Biden, the same people who said Trump would get us in world wars....only the idiots believe you!!

Americans can come together and do something about this but they wont. The only thing they will do is say they stand with you but not actually do anything just a lot of pretending to care.

Trudeau what you're saying about Putin ain't good,President Putin works so hard to safeguard the rights of the weak and prevent them from exploitation by the strong in the society,on the other hand President Trump may have made a decision that doesn't suite you but that doesn't mean he's dumb, if his decision ain't favoring you simply sit done with him and converse to find a solution.Russia is not the enemy of America but the people who spread propagandas about Russia are the ones creating an imaginary enemy who in real sense is actually a friend.

I'm usually reasonable enough to realize that while I may disagree with many policy decisions, there's usually a relatively coherent line of thought to back said actions up. The problem here is that there’s no clear logic behind using tariffs as a tool to curb fentanyl trafficking or immigration. I'm not going to speak on the issue of immigration at the Canadian border because there simply is none. Yes, there are illegals from Canada, but almost 100% of them are from overstaying visas rather than crossing the border unlawfully. So let's talk about fentanyl. \n\nMost fentanyl in the US originates from China, often in precursor form, and is then processed in Mexico before being smuggled into the states. But it's typically trafficked in small, high potency quantities, often hidden in legitimate shipments or through mail, and only on very rare occasions is it being brought in by individuals crossing the border. It has _never_ been documented to have shipped in as part of large scale commercial imports, so a 25% tariff on legal trade with Canada and Mexico doesn’t directly target the black market supply chain at all.\n\nIf we take Trump’s reasoning at face value, the argument seems to be that he wants to exert economic pressure on Mexico and Canada as a means of having them crack down harder on drug trafficking networks. But the issue is that fentanyl simply isn’t coming in through mass import channels, so all this looks like is a punitive measure without a clear mechanism to actually achieve its stated goal. And the implications? Drastically higher costs for consumers in the US, Canada, and Mexico, with absolutely nothing to show for it.

The Trump supporters are too stupid to understand what tariffs actually are.

We really don't care...Justin has lost ALL credibility! Trump is trying to secure our border to stop the INSANE flow of drugs AND criminals from the North and South. Trump is ACTUALLY doing what he promised and what Biden didn't have the balls to do!

damn, he actually put together a speech not full of uhhhm's and ahhh's.

Justin actually speaking well here

Trudeau got the memo and watched Love Actually ??\n\nThe world MUST follow Canada

To the uneducated liberals in the comments, Canada already has a 270% tariff on American goods and has for the last decade with Donald Trump did was put reciprocal tariffs on Canada toQ further balance, the imbalance so you guys being upset that President Trump isn’t acting tariffs on a country who’s already enacted tariffs on the United States then you’re being hypocrites. \n\nSee most of the world audience understands this you guys are actually the minority. Donald Trump is pulling at 60% in United States. The Democrats are pulling at 21% in United States. Just so you guys have an idea of just how unpopular you guys really are.

For the first time I actually respect a speech by Trudeau. I have not supported him in anything ever. Except for this. I actually feel proud.

Imagine having an actual adult in charge of your country.

To stand with President Trump and America First. Trudeau is a poser but is actually a globalist .

The situation is this is just a reciprocal tariff, we're just making the playing field even, but the situation is, that everything we get from Canada we can actually do ourselves, and it's not the other way around

Wait..am I actually agreeing with Trudeau first time ever!

The Emperor has no clothes, but Orange Mango McFelon thinks that the rest of us are as stupid as he is. Musk thinks we are stupid. Vance thinks we’re stupid. We most certainly are not. We see right through all this bull$hit. \n\nAll Don McFelon and Elon Muskrat want from us is our tax dollars. Why else would Elon Muskrat need our personal information? What are Muskrat’s pimple faced workers doing with our personal information? Am I going to wake up one morning to discover that my bank has been cleaned out?\n\nMy fellow Americans, there is something extremely fishy here. This con artist must be stopped. We need to protest and call our Congressmen to help stop all this lunacy. This is a Five Alarm Fire. We all need to come together to stop this madness man and all those that support him. \n\nWe need to stop fighting with each other, come together, and protest DT. They want us to focus on other things so that we don’t see what they are actually doing—-stealing our tax dollars. They must be stopped.

I wish us Americans could actually think intelligently, but we are stupid for electing trump and think that that clown has all he answers when all he does is destroy everything he touches. He does not care about anyone and should be removed from office. To the world, I am sorry our country cannot treat our friends correctly with respect and dignity . We elect stupid people. We have no excuse and do not deserve friends we have to the world.

Wow, An actual adult. As a veteran I am disgusted with a close military ally being attacked, and just better people being attacked while our president is r•mming Putin.

Idiots actually voted for Trump. There should be a common sense test before u vote. Smh

Ok maga faithful, can you name one single policy of your messiah that has actually made your life better or easier or cheaper ??? \nJust one , name one hat hasn’t directly benefited the richest people in our slowly dying country

Gas and groceries and everything cost the same gas is actually cheaper!!! A bunch of CNN Leftist propaganda!!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!! GOD BLESS TRUMP AND STANDING UP FOR US TRUE AMERICANS!!! ALL YOU CNN SUPPORTERS AND BOTS COMMENTING PLEASE MOVE TO CANADA:)

Trudeau needs to do better to keep the fentanyl from coming to America.. I don’t feel sorry for Canada one bit. I lost my daughter to fentanyl so I myself would like some retribution… so him up there preaching like he’s holier than thou is laughable… more fentanyl is coming over the Canadian border than the actual southern border… and that’s after they already had this agreement to stop the fentanyl flow..

man, just living to survive is hard enough for many people even for min wage earners and now this. The point? I think its ego from trump. Dont get me wrong I actually support some of trump policies but this is spiraling out of control. Ukraine, Allies turned enemies wtf.

Let me explain the trading relationship briefly that occurs between Canada and the US for context. \n \nCanada Has a LOT of natural resources, more than our domestic manufacturing base needs (Uranium fuel, Lumber/paper products, Steel and other metals, Fertilizer for farms...etc). Therefore we sell those raw materials to the states where they are manufactured into goods, which we then buy back. a LOT of American service companies like tech, media (And yes, even banks)...etc also operates in Canada as well. (For the auto sector the parts flip back and forth across the border like 8 times) \n \nThis relationship alone has the American economy see a large trade surplus with Canada, however there is another element to it: Energy. \n \nCanada is also home to a LARGE amount of really cheap renewable hydro power in the east, and a LOT of oil in the west, due to a lack of infrastructure we really can only sell that oil to the states and therefore it is done at a discount. America refines this cheap oil into gas and is a large part of the reason why American gas is so cheap. They use this energy to power the same factories mentioned above. (Oh and also the NE states import a lot of that clean hydro electricity for the same reasons) \n \nThe US Buys SO MUCH of that cheap energy from us to power your industrial base, that it swings the numbers on the trade balance into a small deficit for the USA. (41 billion out of a TRILLION dollars total trade, or about -4.1% of total trade so literally a pretty small deficit) It also swing back and forth every year so \n \nThen comes Trump. He wants Canada as a 51st state and own the entire continent, therefore he manufactures an excurse that our border is leaky and that migrants and fentanyl are flowing over. (In actual case migrants and the flow of Fent is about 1% the amount that's crossing at the Mexico border but he needs an excuse) \n \nHe therefore puts 25% tariffs on us. Those tariffs will hit Canada harder than the 2008 financial crisis just for scale. \n \nOh and also for the most part American Refineries literally cant process any other oil than ours or Venezuela's because its thicker so tariffs on our oil will also really increase the priced of energy in the states by a huge amount just for the LOLs. As we've seen during the post covid recovery, since gas is priced in to the supply chain at every step (Manufacturing, transportation...etc), any increase at the pump will snowball into higher costs for everything at the store, on top of the extra cost of the tariffs on consumers. (Since every step will need to add it into their markup.)

If only ALL U.S. journalists could learn how to pronounce 'fentanyl'. There is NO -ALL in 'fentanyl'. Doesn't anybody actually look at the word and think about the pronunciation based on the spelling?

When the US starts to hurt and their power is cut (if we proceed with that), I suspect that they will take military action against us. It will cease to be a trade war and become an actual war.

It’s NOT Canada…. It’s Trump!! Trump still thinks Canada pays the Tariffs, where actually American Purchasers will pay the Tariffs! Trump is STUPID!

Could it be that Trump is actually working for... Hmmm let's say.... Russia?

Damn America has actually fallen & its so much fear in America right now people are desperate & terrified of our own government damn this very Bad

Remember, Trudeau welcomed and gave a standing ovation to an actual Nazi...

Trump actually very consistent, he stand with russia and israel

America had the choice of a president with a brain and one without. They were mislead down a path about immigration being the problem and that the president elec with the brain was to blame. Now look at the utter shit show. We may be heading for war. If not an actual war, one played in economic destruction.\n\nAmerica was so scared to have a female president, they elected a mad man instead.

If I weren’t going to Disney with the kids. I would have boycotted my trip to the USA. Canadians and Americans have always poked fun at each other, in modern history, but now, trump has created a division of hatred. You have actual Americans posting cruel comments. I guess, divide and conquer, was his plan. So sick

I keep waiting for people to grasp what Trump is actually doing, but everybody keeps following the bouncing ball.\n\nTrump only cares about getting richer and getting away with it. \n\nFacts: Dismantle government agencies who can oppose his crimes\n\nFire employees who can stop him from his crimes\n\nMisdirecting to continue his crimes.\n\nDistancing the U.S. from NATO Allie’s and siding with China, North Korea, and Russia.\n\nTariffs to tank the stock market, making predictable decline in stocks for massive profit from buying PUT options.\n\nWanting to remove any oversight in his or Elon’s (his tech genius) actions.\n\nHe literally stated he wanted to “look at Fort Knox to account for any gold missing. (He will fire those in charge to allow whoever to go in WITHOUT oversight to steal gold. Then state yep, there was missing gold, go see for yourself.\n\nHe already had Elon dipping into our treasury.\n\nHe got rid of the employees / agencies that oversee election security. Why? To keep eyes off of screwing people out of fair and equal future elections. Guarantee he will change the constitution with his majority party and executive order to throw out 2 term rule. This way he can stay in power and avoid ever facing sentencing for his crimes.\n\nI can keep going on, bottom line, Trump is a traitor to America and what do we do with those who commit treason? Figure it out.

O bs. Does anyone actually believe Trudeau anymore? Canada already have tariffs on US goods. Clearly they have not done enough yet on dropping these, plus fentanyl and immigration, so Trump is driving the point home.\nImposing counter-tariffs is like a monty python joke.

If only Trump's parents had talked to him this way when he was actually two, he might have matured passed that age.

DT? The American president who wants to be remembered as a “peacemaker”? And he starts a NEW WAR? Not with one country but with two and God knows with who else will he go after. Power and Money hungry fool. \nAmericans when are they going to wake up. D Trmp is NOT God. Constantly claims in every tv moment he REPEATS his prerogative that “no war would have started if he was in power 4 years ago” and he tries to get two wars stop with an special ‘noble peace’ title interest. Make it clear. Trmp is NOT God. And he is not smart as he claim he is. He uses fear to get anyone fear him. Millions around the world have no respect for this man. I don’t think God is actually happy with this man. He is getting old just like Biden and soon his cognitive will decline too. He is already crunching bending forward and can verily hold his head straight up and the bulge in his back shows he is tired. Will see him soon sleeping in front of cameras.
