Trump thinks the Canadians are pushover! Your in for a big fight Trump. Watch out for the quite people Trump! Most of us would never fight with Canadians! In fact if Trump trys something many would help you!

Trump's doing this to tank the stock market. Buy low, sell high, start reporting on administration members and the stock they currently may be buying up. He will gleefully watch regular Americans suffer so he can make money. Anyone that think he cares about them is delusional.

Did Trump not watch the Star Wars Prequels? He’s acting like the Trade Federation starting a trade war, with strings being pulled in the shadows by Palpatine. He thinks he’s Palpatine but that’s Putin. And when Palpatine dismantled the Republic and inserted the Empire, what happened to the Trade Federation? And if the ridiculousness of this comment gets you, then you should think these tariffs are ridiculous because it’s the same damn thing.

It's simple Trudeau. Remove the tariffs THAT WERE ALREADY IN PLACE on American goods before Trumps tariffs were placed; Trumps tariffs goes away. Keep thinking that you can beat the US economy, and he will crush yours.

Sh-t for brains Trump is using fentanyl as an excuse with Canada for the tariffs. What is really eating at Trump is what Trump calls the “trade deficit” between US & Canada trading which is NOT the fault of Canada but ignorant Trump seems to think it is so he is trying to punish Canada but really punishing the US

Well trump is a criminal rapist and a lier wtf do you think he was goint to work with with putin another criminal

Well spoken . Thinking time is up for the Trump regime

That's really what Trump wanted. No matter the efforts on the border and stopping fentanyl. What have Trump done to stop fentanyl in the US or what have he done to help people get out of their drugs addictions. Have he done an amazing job on that? I don't think so. Does he really care about that or is it just a pretext to just do what he wants.

Great speech Mr Trudeau and shame on our Felon Con Trump for those tarrifs that are only going to hurt our country and the people. The derranged Trump is looking out only for himself and his Billionaire cronies who donate to his campaigns ! The Donald Con Trump thinks he is still in the Apprentice. Poor fool?

I disagree with Trudeau. I dont think Trump is a smart guy! Or maybe the billionaire's wanna crash the stockmarket and buy cheap before removing all tariffs and seeing the market rise again.

Not that’s what we caught under a government working with your corrupted government. Now we are after drug dealers not helping them. We suggest you do the same. I think your percentage will go up under Trump. We aren’t looking the other way like Joe.

If you think that trump is a putin’s puppet things start to make sense

Justin may not be liked but this is an example of a politician not only giving straight truthful information but also taking action. Trump thinks bully tactics will give him a negotiation advantage. A tactic he is now applying at a global level. No one will win in this situation due to the bubble of lies that the US public lives and believes is truth. A horrible situation.

This is just a sampling of what happens when you elect an official do the highest office in the land while this individual Donald Trump is Holden s official position as dog catcher is out of his ability. The issue on fentanyl, is a intoxicant that will not and cannot be defeated. This is a total failure on the government's inability to protect its own citizens that is their number one job.. The only solution that I have heard that remotely makes any sense is the Cato institute conclusion that the wisest route to go is completely legalization with age restrictions. While this may not be the desired outcome it's the only one that I see that makes any sense whatsoever it seems that when a solution like this offered so many individuals who have no gravitas in this matter will come back to the same nonsensical bulshit that they're going to stop the flow that is absolutely impossible. However we will continue on that course and we will continue to fail. The Cato Institute was initially funded by the Koch brothers a extremely conservative organization that gets together a group of the brightest and the best in trying to determine what is the best solution.the Koch brothers were the group that invented the tea party I would love for anybody who disagrees with this post. I would like anybody who thinks that this is a far-fetched idea ,all I ask is that if you disagree with the finding that it should be legal with age restrictions if you disagree I would like to hear a solution that you have in mind that you think is better than the Cato Institute finding. I am under the impression that you do not have anything that remotely resembles a solution to this terrible problem. Right off the bat, with uality control, you'll stop hundreds of thousands of deaths. All of the issues that are being dealt with are just so screwed up because we've already been through this before. After making a constitutional amendment to ban the manufacturing of alcohol it was reversed and I hope that the country realize that we cannot win this battle with the same mindset. The only reason why fentanyl is such a dangerous intoxicant is because there's no quality control. Also the cartels are not affected negatively \nBy allowing the government deal with this problem. the end result would be not only do you save lives but you also have put a very negative Spike through their heart of the cartel in the pocketbook. Incense elan musk & DOGE cost cutting measures since this War on drugs has caused over a trillion dollars and no 6:28 results. The DEA does not remotely live up to its mission statement and has failed every year since that policy was put in place. I would love to hear any feedback and a solution that is remotely possible.. let's hear some original ideas that the country would benefit from.. the ball is in your court.

I think we might be making a mistake by saying that Trump is being played by Putin. I am beginning to believe more so that he is an agent of Russia with a sense of agency and the people being played are the people choosing to work for him.

I don’t think the majority of Americans want this. I did not vote for Donald Trump and I’m sure a lot of people that did are regretting their decision. This is so sad and depressing and stressful. God bless us all.

You all around the world, making the mistake of siding with foolish leaders who's own public do not support them against Donald Trump--when the majority of Americans do--will feal the wrath of every single American, who is sick of being bullied by you. We do not have to pay your bills. We do not have to keep your country safe. Keep running your mouth, CNN and dividing this country and the world with your lies. Everyone knows Zelenskyy was disrespectful to Biden and Trump and Vance--who we owe nothing to. Ukraine is not an ally of ours. Ukraine will never be allowed to NATO. And all of you can enjoy the tariffs. We don't need you we don't model our behavior after you. You'll never be America. You will never understand what it means to be American. You will never come into our Oval Office and disrespect our president, Democrat, or Republican and get away with it. Shame on you for your lies! You know better but you get paid well. This is why your ratings are in the tank and only those lacking any logical critical thinking still watch you.

Didn't this guy resign? I think Trump appreciates this response though. It's equal, he can't argue with it

King Trump ?. Narcissistic idiot who thinks he makes America ?? great again ?. But America is already great .

So when do you think Trump will try and send the US military to Russia to to fight against Ukraine?

We love you Canada. We wish our President was someone else. In spite of my single vote, all I can do is hang my head. Please do not think Trump speaks on my behalf. I am smarter.

Sir, I appreciate it, but you ain't gotta explain or apologize that you didn't want this. Our US government has lost its mind. What's worse, all the people that voted for that lunatic were brain washed into thinking this mess is good. I can't feel bad for the ones that are already suffering from the consequences. I always wondered how people fall for cult leaders. I know trump ain't a cult leader cuz he ain't that smart. He's a pedo throwing hissy fits and married to a porn chick, has a self-proclaimed couch screwer assistant, and he's leaning on the help of another idiot benefiting from government money, all the while imploding our government processes. This sucks.

Canadian government has made Canadians paralyzed for decades with high tax rates, made worst business decisions emptied citizens pockets to fill outsiders and their own. Instead of making Canadians rich you have made us poor. I don't disagree to standup for yourself but our foundation is the weakest. If you want to change something think of Canadians make things easier...STOP making admissions hard for professionals pay more wages where its needed and stop increasing minimum wages without improving the lifestyle of people. A 16 yr old making minimum wage and don't even know what to do with the money improve the quality of life. Make businesses boom by helping them with easier access to grants and business approvals. Help investors to grow and help middle class to become investors, make import export much easier. Better laws to protect investors...help those who are growing the economy not dinging them with more and more taxes. This tariff war is going to hurt us more than anyone else. Us poor Candians will have to pay for this hurt our children and our seniors. And that's exactly what Trump and Elon want. To the next Canadian PM - HELP CANADIANS! LET LIVE AND LET GROW...

Time for Mr Trump to go let's impeach his ass today! Our closest Ally is Canada and we have to deal with his bulshit Mr Trump you need to get a life and think of the American people not just your own pocket.

Keep telling yourself and believing that Trump isn't in Putin's pocket. It's so crystal clear when you stop thinking like a cult member.

I love how they title these videos about other leaders like Trump gives a f*ck what they think.

I have family and friends in USA. Plus I belive there big drug problems in Canada and the border. Think Trump was asking him clean up. Yes good help other countries but. Canada ...we taken in sooo meny. With housing soo high because storage. And jobs.

IF YOU THINK THAT IS HARSH LANGUAGE WATCH TRUMP YELLING AT PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY. TRUMP TURNS BEET RED IN THE FACE AND LOSES HIS MIND!!

??❤ I don't understand what is Trump thinking. Work with Russia, goes against friendly alliance. Why?

Less than two months this is chaotic. Tdumps Presidency is going to be 4 yrs of chaos. If you think his first term was chaotic in the way his administration handled the Covid-19 epidemic even when he initiated increase on tariffs with imports on aluminum and Steel. Canada answered. Americans seem to conveniently forget the job losses in the states due to Trump's tarriffs during his 1st term. They voted him in based on the inflation of prices and immigration. But the prices are still high and will go higher

If he can't read, I don't think the term, smart, applies to Trump.

Trumputin is a useful Idiot to Putin. Could it be possible that Trump is a Spy for Russia? I'm just wondering. After all Trumputin went to Russia allot when he was just a Regular guy. What do you think?

I support Canada ??! Trump is destroying everything like he did with his casinos. How will any of this make America Great? It doesn’t. And Republicans are equally responsible for ALL that is happening. Do they honestly think we Americans will accept what is happening? Think again. We have the ballot box and will use it.

Donny the dictator trump will not last long…. He’s pissing everyone off who isn’t in his suck up club. Donnyboy only thinks about himself and how much money he can acquire. Oh, I’m sure Putin is going to enrich donnyboy well. Stand strong Canada. From a loving neighbor in NY state.

Make no mistake. . . Trump is after CANADA. Donnie, we are NOT your Louisiana Purchase. We are NOT your Alaska Acquisition.\n\nTrump thinks he is smart, and regardless of what Trudeau said. . . Smartness is measured by actions.

@robertedward7023 It can but I think Trump is right on this one. Zelensky needs to realize that he won't get his land back that Russia took, and that negotiating is the only way to come to peace now. He's living in a fairytale world fighting an unwinnable war. I think the US is right to pull the plug on financial aid to try to pressure Zelensky to negotiate to end the war. Unfortunately, to end the war Ukraine will likely have to concede the land they lost. But the reality is Putin will never give that land back. But it's better than more people dying everyday. Zelensky has gotten all too comfortable relying on financial aid and as a result he hasn't been willing to try anything new (like negotiate) to get this war finished. If we keep sending him money, nothing will change. Now he has pressure to negotiate. the US and Canada can't keep sending money to Ukraine for the next 20 years while this war carries on.

Who owns the majority of the stock market? Who cares. More than half of us don't own stocks. As for Canada, Trump is doing what he thinks is best for Americans not Canada. Not any talk here on why Trump did this and no one here seems to want to know. Let the talking heads that own tons of stocks through Black Rock tell you all you need to stay in the dark.

Just thinking is trump doing this so Canada can't help Ukraine against putin

The USA are the most unreliable country in the world at the moment. That’s what we think here in Europe. And we fear that the worst is yet to come during trump’s administration. We do hope that the mid term elections will block his power. But they are far away

How did Trump win the guy is a idiot. From a person living in Germany thinking this must be a joke

The tariffs make sense from the position of trump being an ally with putin. trump is punishing countries that have supported Ukraine, thinking that if he weakens these countries with tarrifs, these same countries will turn inward and discontinue their support of Ukraine. I wonder how much putin has offered to pay trump if trump can strong arm Ukraine into ending the war, leaving russia with land stolen from Ukraine. Something stinks of corruption here.\nThank you for speaking from a place of power and truth Prime Minister Trudeau.

What's crazy is I think Trudeau is a shit politician but held against Trump he looks like George fucking Washington. \n\nI love my Canadian friends, and don't blame Canada at all for the response. Fuck maga!

What would be interesting to know is how trade between Canada and Europe explodes, Europe would like all the oil and gas and rare earthminerals Canada has, so would China, if for nothing other than to prevent Americas access to it. I think trump and musk think russia will supply rare earth minerals on the cheap, but Russia is about to collapse again and various regions break away as they did last time, but this time is much worse than back then, Russia really could cease to exist and America will not benefit at all, Europe China India Mongolia will benefit. Russians hate america more than Americans hates Russia, America has been prosperous, while 40% of Russians don't have running water or electricity, yes the big cities and towns in the west are better off but most of Russia does not even have paved roads.\n\nTrump is backing his banker, and everyone knows it, pootin is using trump, very clearly shown when he set up President Zelensky in that ambush.\n\nEurope China and other countries will be in line to sign trade deals. I think it was clever of Trudeau to say what he did. And to set a few months before the massive cuts in trade with America as what the rapist president is doing, what republicans are doing will be biting very hard by then, and Canada cutting trade at that time will be possibly the straw that breaks trump.

but this might look like a joke but i think trump was pid by putin to do these kind of thing

Canada and Mexico are not responsible for the people in the US who chose to use drugs. In fact, it's the United States job to keep illegal drugs and immigrants out of the US and they are doing a poor job of it and need someone else to blame. Mexico could retaliate in a way that could flood the US with illegal drugs and immigrants and refuse to repatriate its citizens back into Mexico. The rest of Central and South America could do the same in support of Mexico. They need to get Trump out of office before he ruins America.\nI remember the press conference with the USA (Trump), Canada and Mexico when signing the new trade agreement during Trump last time in office. Trump proudly stated that this is the greatest agreement in the history of the United States. Last week he wanted to know who in the US agreed to the terrible trade agreement. He is losing his mind and cognitive function is deteriorating at a rapid rate. Re-negotiating contracts after the work is complete is how Trump ran his businesses. He has bankrupted many small businesses by not paying them knowing that they do not have the money to go to court. He is only rich because of daddy's money otherwise he would have never survived his many bankruptcies. Thats why no one will loan him money. I can't wait until he screws over the government of Saudi Arabia with one of his shady business deals. Anyone remember what happened to Khashoggi for just authoring a bad article on Saudi's Leaders. What do you think will happen to Trump for monetarily screwing them over?

Nothing Trump does makes sense. He’s an utter embarrassment. He’s making our country look like a backwards, oppressive, “pile of garbage”. If any MAGA bothered to research is life back to the 70’s and 80’s they’d find Trump was NEVER good at business. He was good at running them into the ground. He hasn’t a republican cell in his body. He doesn’t care which party or what ideology anyone is, so long as they’re naive and ignorant enough to buy his lies and bullshit. It’s just all about Trump. Everything he’s doing is contrary to making America great. Ironic that there are many so-called Christians who support him, when he fits the biblical description of the Antichrist a bit too well. It’ll take decades to restore America’s standing in the world, because that narcissistic, bloated, power-hungry, piece of shit wants to keep attention centered on him. He’s doing all he can to keep us stupid, and brainwashed, because anyone who’s intelligent, and has any level of critical thinking poses a threat. When will the orange Kool aid wear off?…and btw, I’m not a liberal. I’m not a democrat. I’m rational.

I think Trudeau is awesome. He makes trump look like the jack-ass he is.

You never talk about 200,000 deficit Trudeau, if you want American people understand about you, US has been feeding Canadian forever Trudeau, and you also called trump dumb and In this case to be fair I don't think you are smarter then trump at all

A.H. in 1939, D.J. Trump in 2025 : different century, same objective, same behaviour, same ideology : fascism. People from the World, prepare yourself for WW3.......and I am unfortunately not kidding and disagree with that idea, but I do not see any other exit to Trump's madness or, should I say, objective...Trump voters, you choose this fate, you'll pay the price of it as every human being on Earth; don't think you'll be spared because you voted for that psychopath. He will not protect you from a nuclear war.

I stand with Canada, Trump and Vance think they have our support, but thats just all the Russian bots talking. No way I'm fighting for Trumps administration!
