Trump craves to be a dictator. He’s Putin’s puppet. He is clearly trying to align America with Russia, but Americans don’t want what this. This is the biggest betrayal to the United States, EVER! Absolutely disgusting!

Greetings to Canada and the Canadian people. With this decision, you are exporting inflation and high prices to America, and the American citizen will feel it later, and then Trump will come to negotiate with Canada. Imagine if Europe applied the same principle. I almost swear that Trump will become a beggar in the political street for Canadians and Europeans.?

Donald Trump is shame of America.\nHe is the traitor of national interests.\nThank you, mr. Trudeau.\nWe all very sorry about it.

As an American ?? I 100% stand with Trump. America first. You do you Canada and we will do us.

US & Russia. Why? Plain and simple, Trump is infatuated with power. He is a criminal. He wants to remain in power as long as possible. He will write into legislation that a president can remain in power longer than 2 terms. Just like Vladimir did. It’s plain and simple. Trumps main goal is dictatorship. Not the people of America. For his own glory

TRUMP is a THREAT to AMERICA

Prices will go sky high now in america and people will suffer the got want now with trump.?

Make America GREAT AGAIN fucking well DONE trump .PRICK

Trump will be gone - perhaps in 2 years he will lose the house/senate...and then what America? You've lost a loyal friend. It will take YEARS to rebuild our trust. Who will come to your aid the next 911? And it WILL happen; u are despised worldwide. It's a sad day. But as a Canadian, I love my country and will boycott EVERYTHING American to the best of my ability. Enjoy the hell to come America.

Crazy to see how relations have broken down between our two countries and sad for all my great American friends and thanks for your support but anyone with half a mind could see this coming. So many Americans, even republican voters, now waking up to the cold reality of a treasonous, mad president allied to a Russian mad man, isolating the US from the rest of the world. He was basically elected to repaire the economy. Ha! Nice going you orange freak. The stock market is crashing like a Trump casino. You bankrupt two casinos and now you are doing the same to America. Oh! and I hope you're listening to Trudeau's speech, this is what a real leader sounds like. CANADA STRONG AND FREE!!!

Trump thinks he can base his entire history on stopping 100% of fentanyl coming into America. Ask Reagan and Bush how well that worked with cocaine and heroine. ???

I don't like Trudeau, but this speech was great. Intelligent when he needed to be, simple when addressing Trump. A strong start to this trade war which as he said, we don't want. I hope along with Ford we hit America where it hurts. Maybe when their groceries skyrocket in price and their trucks are gone they'll really see where their votes went.\n\nI personally can attest I'm no longer buying DOOM: The Dark Ages, or games on Steam for that matter. I cancelled an order I had from Amazon, and I used to buy Reaper Miniatures, which I will no longer be doing. I'm not going to A&W, or any fast-food chain, or restaurant owned by Americans.

I’m Saudi from Saudi Arabia ?? and I stand with America ?? and mr. Donald Trump

Can't Americans impeach Trump as not fit to lead? Because a lot of his decisions lately is not making making America great again. He destroying it from the inside and not supporting Ukraine for their freedom, making Ukraine great again and for their independence as country. Makes the decision very un-American. Don't get me wrong, I like the American people, but Donald Trump has got to go...?

Trump loves America. Trudeau, you stepped down I thought? Don't you have the lowest ratings from your own people? We love our president, well the normal ones here in USA, not the gender confused left of course. Tariffs work, that's why you're on tv right now addressing it with such fear.

Trump is wrecking, not advancing, America.

I was never a fan of Trudeau, but compared to Trump he is a breath of fresh air. Give it 3 years and 10 months and Americans will be back to sanity. Don't know if America will be in one piece though. After the three stooges have fired everyone, and taken away their social security, and our soldiers dying for no reason against our allies, and the VA system disbanded from helping past soldiers who made sacrifices for this country, while the dollar has lost most of its value, while inflation is through the roof....yes it will be tough. To our Canadian and Mexican neighbors, do what you have to do to inflict pain on the meatheads in America who think Trump is their savior. They need to be taught a valuable lesson.

Tariffs is an act of war! How is american people allowing trump to dismantle America's strategic partners

Justin Trudeau is a parasite...he caused 86% food inflation, causing millions of Canadians to have to rely on food banks, while Trudeau spent $81k of Canadian taxpayers dollars on groceries for himself this year alone...Trudeau underfunded Canada in relation to NATO, underfunded Canada in relation to NORAD, ticked off Trump by being rude to him in the past so that now Trump launches an economic trade war against Canada cause he just wants to hurt Canada to hurt Trudeau. Yes, Trump is an absolute economic imbecile as this trade war will cause Great Depression 2 in America and Canada (unless he invades which I think he will in some years) but the thing I hate the most about this is that Trump makes Trudeau look like the good guy in all this when Trudeau ruined Canada beforehand...all Trump needed to do was SHUT UP and let the Canadian perpetual liar LEAVE office...now we all pay the price for Trump's hatred of Justin Trudeau :(

Trump is DESTROYING AMERICA... Shame on your Trump Supporters.

As someone who has detested what this man and his party have done to this country in the last nine years, I still have to give him props for calling out Trump and his stooges for their dumbass economic suicide, and for calling Putin out for being the POS that he is. Remember when America wasn't a boot licking joke? Those were good times.

And this is how great Trumps America looks like…… right? MAGA? I am ashamed to be an American citizen, we stood for democracy, freedom, American dream and now what? Thank you 77 million, who voted for convicted felon, with 6 bankruptcies, who SA women. Bravo! ?

Trump is turning America into the Evil Empire

All because they didn't want a intelligent, well-spoken, educated, hard working, truth telling well not as much as Trump, Black woman in office. Fricken shame! I hope you're happy America. Your hatred for people of color did this. Donald is not smart period. IQ of zero.

Looking in from the UK Trump has just gone 100% rogue for the west and 100% for Russia. By splitting USA V Canada V Mexico trade which he signed of in his first term he has now supplied Russia with the split they wanted. USA power has always been the number of allies it has around the world now it is splitting from them and joining Putin which makes Putin very happy. America is weaker and that is just dandy for Russia China Iran and North Korea President Che will be moving forward with his plan to attack Taiwan and then watch America as it has no computer chips for all the industries tied to super computers cars planes ect.

Trump is a traitor to America. We knew that before his election. Ignorance has enabled Trump to destroy our country.

AMERICA FIRST EVERYONE ELSE NEXT\n\nI STAND WITH TRUMP & VANCE!

It is sad seeing two people set up America in flames. We may not have any allies left at the end of Trump's 4 years. Any American who is not appalled by Trump's actions must be out of their mind. Let us put our political differences behind us and fight against this nonsense in the Oval Office.

Trump hitting the reset button...putting America back to level 1

IMPEACH TRUMP NOW!!!! AMERICA ??!!!! AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO TAKE A STAND AND KICK TRUMP OUT!!! IMPEACH TRUMP!!!!! I'M AMERICAN, BUT I STAND FOR CANADA ?? AND OTHER COUNTRIES!!!!!!

That's what a leader should sound like America. He used smaller words when he directed his speech to trump ?

its not America its Donald trump

I see comments from many. How are Republican right playing this. Do they actually think Elon and Trump are making America great. Learn to speak Russian and Chinese. Trumps legacy after he strokes out will be with us even after the jokes, the commentary and documentaries have lost interest.\nYou have an enemy within.

Trump has sold America to Russia. America wake up and Do The Right Thing...Revolt against Trump. We will die under his leadership...Trump got of jail and unleashing his wrath on US citizens. Well done Canada..Well done ❤

People of America hate Trump kissing up to Putin's plans.

I see none of Trump's stoogies are arguing with the fact that Trump and Putin are compadres. He'll turn his back on America before Puitn

No one trusts America anymore. Trump is for self

I'm one of MANY MANY Americans who stand with Canada and Ukraine! Trump does NOT represent us!!!! The best of America stands with you!!

TRump can't take over Canada as a state . He is Hitler I see .America will be great again huh ? The game started .

Lets start saying Trump instead of America or The US when it comes to this subject. 1 man did this. His attitude is not American.

More people dislike tradeau than love president trump and that is hard to do it's funny how another leader disrespected America calling our president Donald tradeau take care of our state up there

Why don’t Canada that over the United State and the president of Canada replace Grifters Donald Trump. One thing I disagree with his messages is Trump isn’t smart. He has Elon Musk running America and he’s signing coloring books.

Trump is setting America up!!!!

Trump wants to emulate Putin. Trump has already said America won’t have election again.

Jesus, it feels like Trump has been in power for a year, is this how he intends to make America great again? Now tyranny no longer needs to be camouflaged, diplomacy being replaced by exacerbated supremacy.

Trudeau said something every America needs to listen to trump wants to become a dictator like putin and control all Americans ?

Millions Of Souls already sold to Satan!!!!! Wake Up America!!! You are still sleeping spiritually. This is not Democrats vs Republicans anymore , Liberals vs Conservatives anymore, and Left vs Right anymore. THIS IS AN EVIL VS GOOD GLOBAL ATTACK FOR HUMAN SOULS!!!!! Everything THE BIBLE WARNED ABOUT IN DANIEL AND REVELATION!! The late evil monster Slobodan Milošević would be so proud of what Trump and Putin are doing against the Western Allied Nations and NATO. Adolf Hitler, Emperor Hirohito, Benito Mussolini and Josef Stalin too.

I just hope Trudeau knows that is was TRUMP that did this, NOT America!!! The vast majority of us stand with you and your country sir, and come 2029 this nonsense will be over

Trump wants to sow discord between the people of Canada and the people of America, aiming to make them hate each other, so that he can then attack Canada and seize it. Trump admires Putin because, like Putin, he believes that the strong can do whatever they want, while the weak must obey! But what else would you expect from a country where slavery was once considered normal, from a country that exterminated millions or even billions of Indigenous people just to take their land? Of course, over time, things have changed — people have become smarter and started to value life — but Trump belongs to that ancient caste of Americans whose IQ is around 20–50...

This is a move Trump himself didn't even want to take. He was forced to do so by the American energy sector. Trump wants america to become completely free of any foreign dependence. The only thing Canada has that the United States depends on is their energy for the Northern US. Trump has slashed regulations and opened land for American companies to start drilling and providing their own energy to the US. They decided against it for record profits. This will for e them to start drilling in the US by making it cheaper than getting energy from Canada. This has nothing to do with Russia. If it did, the US could get all the cheap oil and natural gas as he wants. Putin would give it to the US for free. Trump could careless about Russia or Putin. He wants american energy companys to start doing their jobs and provide energy to the american people at a reasonable cost. But all they are worried about is their record profits.
