I am an American and I want to say stay strong to Canadians. I am really sorry that this happened due to a bunch of idiots who voted for Trump.

When I was growing up in Canada, hearing of someone being a “Proud American” was something I admired. Today it’s a punch line to a joke about the American education system. They have nothing left to be proud of, and I’m so thankful to be from this country instead. Trump administration or not, the American people can not be trusted to vote in their own self interest, let alone the interests of the allies that stood with them for the last century and who have lost lives sending men and women over seas to answer the American call for friendship, justice, and loyalty. America wants to stand alone so let them. The global order is shifting, and Canada needs to plan accordingly. Don’t listen to what people say, watch what they do, and Americans have done enough.

Please don't say that America did this, but say that Trump and the MAGA party did this. Millions of us can't stand the sight of him, not just now but for years and years. He is a disgrace to the USA and humanity.

2nd time in one week I say thank you to a foriegn leader, standing up for there country against Trump. Thank you

Can someone in the US at least teach that idiot Trump this VERY SIMPLE lesson?\n\n\nIf you want to improve linearly, compete!\nIf you want to improve exponentially, collaborate!\n\nBut it's hard to say whether an idiot who has only managed to do one thing in his entire life: waste his father's money, will understand this.

Trump doesn't keep his word, he doesn't support what he say.

Trump , vance and Musk , are not very smart , \nby open trade wars , only the people get hurt on both sides , \nand if USA go after europ then usa will loose even more , \nUsa need us as much as we need them , and Trump \nshould start thinking , becosue americans are loosing power as well \nmust of in europe dont see USA as western leadership anymore , \nthat eneded when people of USA was stupid enough to vote for trump and \nvance , we warned USA people this would happent and still they voted trump \nand now you want us to stand with you ,,,, honestly we have a saying that goes like this \nyou gonna lay in the bed you made , and if you complain about you better redue you bed ! \nSo RNC votes , do you feel the pain the trump a, vance and musk are doing to you , \nif you do then time to remove the idiots from power ! \nand btw , you should rename RNC to RNCC ( Real Northamerica Criminal Consortium)

Thos is a true leader who says it as it is and tells trump and all Americans exactly how it is. Dummy donald is the stupidest most useless moronic leader America has ever had. Wake up America.

I am a registered republican in arizona and i am proud of Trudeau. I cannot say the same about trump….he is shameful, ignorant, mentally ill, and highly dangerous.

Did you see the clip with Keir Starmer and Donald Trump in the Oval Office Starmer gives Trump a letter from King Charles Trump opens it supposedly reading it then shows it to the camera and then requests Starmer to read a section. What the hell why didn't Trump read it himself what reading is beneath him. The question here is can Donald Trump read I think not this is why he has never read any history books which leads me to my next question. How can an illierate man become the President of the United States? Mind boggling and this is why he dances at Maralago he is saying to himself I can't read and these fools made me President!!!

He forgot to say the key thing to Trump: SHAME ON YOU. YOU'VE BROUGHT SAHEM TO THE UNITED STATES AND TAINTED THE IDENTITIES OF ALL THE AMERICAN COUNTRIES BY ASSOCIATION. SHAME SHAME SHAME.

Little Trump is not a president nor is he a businessman. He’s a scared little rat a draft dodger and think America if he was afraid to fight in the war then what makes us think that he would protect us now he’s a scared rat. He’s afraid of his own shadow. The family kids and the grandchildren are the ones that are going to feel the damage he will do to this country in four years. I feel so sorry for our men and women in the military now and our veterans are taking a pounding very sad . He’s only doing it to benefit for his own greed. Very sad human being. He’s miserable he’s depressed. You can see it in his face. He was a piece of shit to the American people before he ever even thought of being a president he owes contractors millions of dollars through his life no wonder he has a bull’s-eye on his back and they say he can’t sleep at night well, I wonder why he fucked the American people and he will keep fucking American people nobody will stop him He will keep fucking us until he’s done. And after all that damage that he will do to this country, in the four years it will be so damaged. It will never heal.

Tough talk from a SISSY who was trading friendship brackets with TEENAGE LITTLE GIRLS, at a Taylor Swift concert in Toronto, while Palestinian reprobates were rioting in Montreal. TRU-dough didn’t start real changes at the US/Cdn ( states borders ) until TRUMP trumped the drama school teacher ! So says a Canada who will vote TRUMP ! Seems that TDS has seriously infected the Castro Frog.

Remember Trudeau just like zenkesky failed to remember that it's not Joe in charge anymore someones in there that will not be disrespected an told what when or he was what's going to happen an especially in the position everyone is in America is not going to be a sucker no more an show love to other countries we don't get back no love now let's make if fair across the board an the tarrifs are great us people just want some of there needs an security but we're trillions in debt an no body seems to help or care or even say anything about it an the saddest part of it all is president trumps fault that how stupid people an brainwashed that the left had left on them hate in the there hearts

Where did Putin get all his money? He stole it from the Russian government. Is Trump putting these tariffs on countries so more money comes into the government so he can steal it like Putin did, he loves Putin and wants to be like Putin. This is highly possible. Given Trumps record of cheating and lying to gain riches I say it is very possible. Trump should be in prison for Jan 6 not counting the 34 felonies he committed.

CNN cut out what our Prime Minister ?? was going to say as to the real reason why we are getting hit with Tariffs which is this,,,to economicaly cripple us so Trump can Annex Us,,Take over Canada,,,,we have what Trump wants,,Our minerals,water, rich resources,,,he wants to be like Putin his idol,,,,That is the real plan Americans,,,please wake up to this and get him out of office ,,,your country is slowly becoming a dictatorship brick by brick under Trump and his regime,,,

We, as a nation, need to get the magaddicted to realize the implications of supporting such a man.. I can't say what I really want to say, bc trump leaning youtube will censor me..\n\nmaga refuses to accept the truth.. this video need to go out to all the far right media and podcasts. The problem is, is that they are all magaddicted..

Trumps dumbass logic is “people should do as I say just cause” no dipshit that’s not how things are done

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.

Also awfully funny how y'all were perfectly ignorant when Joe Biden was increasing the tariffs against everywhere else when Donald Trump left the last time he didn't remove them he added on to them and increased them and y'all didn't say anything about it then. You'll act like this is the first time anybody's ever heard of tariffs and yet Canada already had it against us we already had it against them just like every other country. Tariffs are just a fancy government word for interest and as long as those interests are aligned and in favor for Democrats tariffs are okay but when they're not all of a sudden they're not okay again.

Trump is not being fooled by Russia, he loves everything Putin says and does. They're his allies, now.

Honesty, and I'm not saying this to be amusing >> Trump needs to be restrained and taken into a psychiatric ward. There is clearly something VERY wrong with his mind.

Idiots, Trump braging about saying things as they are, and directory. And he is himself the most arrogant shit talking about everbody, so he get what he gives himself. Direct and clear , like he treat others. And by the way he is no god, he is in fact laugin his pwn religion in the face, and breaking all it stand for. A true narcissistis. ?

Also Justin Trudeau didn’t think Donald Trump was smart he said he agreed with the whichever newspaper it was Washington Post I think that even though Donald Trump is a smart guy this was a dumb thing. I don’t think he really agreed with the part about Donald Trump being a smart guy. But he definitely agrees with this being a dumb thing. He just had to say thatto stroke Cheetos ego

This guy's has taxed the idiot Canadians up the ass. Keep jacking up the tarrifs trump and teach them a lesson. And I am not interested in anything this loser says.

Donald Trump claims to be a Christian but what he is doing to other countries and his own country by firing people from government jobs is totally against God God gives life he don't take it and he would never have sent people to the streets just because some politicians created a job for the people this is going to cause people to lose their homes vehicles and their livelihood it is totally evil. And then placing these tariffs on other countries is no less than say I want your country he wants Canada he wants Panama, he wants Ukraine's lithium. And he wants to take it all and he is wrong in that because he is affecting people's lives and God Almighty will not put up with Donald Trump giving into the spoiled brat Elon Musk and his dictatorship attitude. Both Elan and Trump have no heart for the poor or the hardship they have placed on these people but God Almighty has a heart for the people who have lost their jobs and their livelihood because of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. In the book of Isaiah God said to the people that were coming against Israel, you have pissed on a wall. And everybody knows that when you piss on a wall it's going to come back on you and that's exactly what's happened. They didn't do it to the people that lost their jobs they did it to God Almighty who loves all people and wants them to have their wages. Maybe Elon Musk knows everything about technology and space craft, but the man ain't got a lick a common sense he has exactly zero wisdom when making decisions. But his greatest lack as he has no heart for the people who are going to be disrupted by losing their jobs he doesn't feel a thing he has no heart he needs to read the Bible because that's where your heart gets developed and you know right from wrong. And you know what God approves of and what he doesn't, and I'm telling you right now God Almighty does not approve of what Donald Trump and Elon Musk are doing. I voted for him, and now I am ashamed that I voted for him because he never mentioned he was going to do all this horrible horror to the very American people that voted for him. Now I pray for God's divine intervention because what he's doing to the American people and to other countries is not right

I don't care about what you saying or doing I love trump ❤️ ? ? ? ♥️ ? ❤️ ? ? ? ♥️ ?

As a Canadian i say.. trump send the troops and come liberate us

This is total Anti US propoganda ! This man is about as sinister as they come, and in bed with billionaire led WEF ! He clearly displayed that in his lock step response to covid and how he treated his citizens ( like caged animals)! This leader is a socialist and has nothing to offer Americans but to leech our tax dollars & use our military defenses for protection without contributing their fare share to support it! We have been the sugar daddy to so many nations with only the consequence of our tax dollars not improving our nation, but every other that we are used by! I’m not a maga but, but this president is using leverage the US still has ( although we’ve suffered greatly under the Biden Admin ). President Trump is trying to balance our budget by smart and fair trade, that puts this country’s legal citizens first! Fair trade hasn’t existed for many years, and while there may be increases felt by these tarrifs, our hope is that long term we manufacture more excellent goods here & use more of our own natural resources! Those commenting about what we are doing to Ukraine need to get their heads out if the sand…the Ukrainian people don’t want Zelinski but cannot get rid of him! He has taken hundreds of billions of dollars from the US and has no plan for peace in his nation…Pres Trump says enough is enough, and he is trying to not only end the war, but recoup massive amounts of money we wrongly gave through a deal for natural resources. Sounds like a plan that’s good for everyone involved, and that’s how you make deals! We cannot give whst we do not have & with our debt , we cannot afford to keep printing money, devaluing the dollar, and giving it away at the expense of hard working N Americans!

America will no longer carry others, you got high tariffs on America, we put high tariffs on you, turn about is fair play. We voted for Trump to do EXACTLY what's he's doing, this is why everyone is barking now, America has been carrying so many countries for so long, that everyone has forgotten, no longer though. As far as Russia goes, Ukraine is a cash cow money laundering country with a dictator, Russia is not the enemy here, it's you Globalists and Davos clowns that think you can influence the whole world like we are in the matrix, the cat is out of the bag, people are waking up, zelinski chose his fate, and disrespected the U.S. Trump put him in his place. Alot of you are so lost on global politics, all you professed military people saying Putin is the enemy just really shows how little you know. So go ahead Canada and act tough..........you know we carry your country, we don't need your power, our grid is strong, or products etc, the next thing will be car manufacturing plants coming back to America, from Canada and Mexico, where they should be. Let's see how long that tough talk pays Canadas bills ??????????

I hope you don call trump next day to say sorry..like zelenaky

Trump is a Russian plant and nothing anyone says is gonna stop trump for serving his master.

Don’t say that the U.S. did this. TRUMP IS DOING THIS!

There won't be a reaction from the White House for at least three days, because they are too stupid to understand what Trudeau is saying. Trudeau speaks English, but Trump speaks turd.

As a European American, I can truly say that I am embarrassed, shocked and disgusted by the actions of the Trump administration against our allies and partners across the world. 99.9% of American loves Canada and I am one of them!!! Stay strong because we have always overcome evil together!!!

Trump says America is back!\n\n\nYeah, back to being a joke with a flat punchline

Then close ur boarders to criminals bringing in fentanyl. And to the fake Americans who don’t support America go to Canada and live. And for the record u will all see how bad zelensky is he could have stoped the war by agreeing not to try to join nato. And can’t account for millions of dollars. And was warnd the meeting was just about the mineral deal because if we put troops in Ukraine Putin who is still very dangerous will see it as a act of war. And he said he will protect American intrust in Ukraine basically saying if Putin breaks a peace deal we will be there to help respond. But zelensky took the moment with the media to pressure trump into saying we will put troops there which could start ww3. And if u trust Canada over the US ur an idiot. This guy doesn’t care about his own country. Look at the First Nation people. And how migrants get more then the people who have been there for generations. And people and fentanyl is still coming in.

Trudeau is a sniveling little turd! He desperately wants to make the tariffs sound like they aren't 100% fair. Canada already taxes US imports at an average of 25%, so these US tariffs only balance the playing field. All that said, like Zelensky, Trudeau seems to forget that Canada needs the US, but the US doesn't need Canada. He says that it is going to be tough in Canada; true. On the other hand, the average American probably won't even notice a difference. But the neverending, desperate anti-Trump narrative twisting is all CNN knows.

I see all these other comments saying how polite and eloquent he is compared to Trump, but you can seem polite and screw people over at the same time. I'm just confused on the admiration for Trudeau in the comments, because I haven't heard anything good about him or what he's got going on. Idk, just take the tariff hit and keep moving if Canada's got everything under control. \n\nI'm open to both sides if anyone has any input. What makes the tariffs so bad, doesn't Canada have tariffs on the US?

We do not care what Canada says. We are not scared of canada, and we believe in donald trump god bless america god bless americans the gods bless trump.

When trump say secure ur border !?\nFentanyl just non racism to say\n\nTrudeau allowed INDIA ?? AND REGUGEE GETS IN CANADA ?? \n\nWHOM NOW BUSSING DWN SOUTH TO USA ??

How could anyone trust Donald Trump all you need is common sense!!! But when he says what most people think they will vote for him.. smh well I’m gunna sit back and watch this one play out..

did he just say you're a very smart guy to Trump? ?

President Vladimir Putin is not a dictator,everyone knows he's a good man.If not everyone let's say most people know he's a good man and if Putin and Trump unite only God knows the developments and discoveries that would be found.

Anything But American did not have to be, but it will take a generation for the fall out to become a thing of the past after this gross attack is ended. As a senior I can say that I will be gone before reciliation will be achieved. Trump signed the free trade agreement with Canada 5 years ago and he has proven the America is not to be trusted and treaties are meaningless. Trump, and by extension America, has walled itself in to keep the world out. Americans have been less than welcome in some places, now those places include their neighbours. Carrying American dollars and the American flag abroad will not be looked at the same as it was just last year.

I’m sooo tired of foreign leaders say Trump is aligning with Putin! He never said that! Americans know he is trying to help make peace between Ukraine and Russia to end a war which is also in Canada and the rest of the world’s best interests! I hate the deceptive media! Canada, we are in debt up to our eyeballs and won’t be able to remain a nation without hard monetary choices but to say Trump aliegns with Putin is a cheap shot to get away with what you do now.

I think your wasting your time Trudeau , Americans are thick as bricks, after all the majority voted for trump, says alot

Trudeau comes up with an economic plan to weather the storm. Trump says Americans will be fine, tariff everyone, and have fun American farmers. The difference in leadership quality is palpable.
