The mistake is thinking that Trump is operating by economic principles with public well being in mind. He's satisfying his narcissistic needs. Everything he does is for aggrandizement, demonstration of power and sadism. Everything Trump does makes sense from the point of view of a malignant narcissist sociopath. He has skills as a manipulator and is a moron at everything else.

To all you Maga supporters: it can't be that Trump is always right and everyone else is wrong. 9 times out of 10 Tronald Dump is wrong on everything

Trump has no clue about how international trading works, as he has no clue about anything else!

We don't want this either Mr Trudeau, but I don't blame you. I'm with you on your side. and hopefully, my people will be on your side since Mr. Trump fooled the American people. We pray for everyone plus the Canadians. God be with you and everyone else.

Aside everything else as totaly unbiased viewer i wanna point out how much more coherent, well spoken, info savvy/knowledgeable JT seems...unlike his counterpart Trump.

Don't worry American people they want it this problem they course the trump they want to be America great again and don't worry what is happening any American people you put your tax more than the trump number one is cut out the electric America after trump giving you mines - 200 tax cut if stop to minerals for air force stop to farmers Fortalice you can get another 200 percent tax cut is well dont think what the Americans thinking think first your own people nothing else ???

of course... trump is a leveraged real estate investor his roi goes up faster than the dollar drops. he doesn't give a crap about anyone else. you had better have positioned yourself for this ride or you have lost.

learn your place do what you are told or else

Trudeau really has zero room to talk an expert in everyone else's problems but his own

Trump has been under Putin's control even before his first term, doing exactly what Putin wants from him at the moment. That's the only reason. Maybe he fell into a honeytrap or there’s other compromising material the Russians have on him that they could use to blackmail him. He’s a narcissist, which fits perfectly with this. Anything else doesn’t make sense....or why is he only attacking allies and licking Putins butt?

Ask yourself what happens when Americans can't get oil and gas from Canada? Are they going to use their own reserves.....no. But guess who else has oil and gas? Russia. Who bailed out Trump every time his businesses failed.....Russia. Trump has to pay back Russia for all the times they bailed him out. Watch and see if he tries to make a trade deal with Russia.

We cannot trust or believe in what Trump Admin says to us Americans. Please people this is not good for us to be moving this direction. We don't have time on our side here to wait while half of our country blindly follows Trump off the cliff as he plays his tune and yall skip to the music with eyes n ears closed to anything else. I don't want to go down with all of you!

Unfortunately it doesn’t matter. 30-35% of America will believe Donald Trump over everybody, and anybody else

Who else thought Trump and Zelensky were on the point of having a punch up in the Oval office?

This is what you call a nothing burger ? this is all Trudeau's fault why Canada ?? is in this situation, he had 9 years to fix the borders, build the pipe lines making Canada independent and self sufficient instead he has done absolutely nothing but spend our tax dollars carelessly by putting Canada 68 billion dollars in the hole, folks don't be fooled, remember there's always 2 sides to a story but nobody wants to have that conversation, it's easy to point the finger at everybody else but blame the man in mirror.

Trump campaigned for months that these tariffs would take place if certain border issues were not fixed. All Trudeau did was appoint a buddy as border czar and did nothing else. He needs to go away ....

Time to have Canada further integrated with the EU. This should be a union of values more than anything else. Canada lead the way!

Unfortunately Republicans blame everyone else just look at fox news deplorable

WAIT! Is Canada now a Canada-first country? RACIST! \n\n\nOh, right. It's only racist for the United States to think of their people first, but everyone else is completely free to do so.

Trump is a traitor. When will people observe the obvious - Trump is doing everything Putin wants to happen. How else can you explain a fractured relationship with our neighbors - Canada and Mexico? For bogus reasons.

Most Americans don't think about Canadians or anyone else for that matter.

Maybe a little rough right now, but it’ll all work out and have a major benefit for Americans. Us first, everyone else last.

Canada is a nice wooded area. Not much else. Good luck Canadians!

Dumbest trade policy ever or malicious intent? Trump seems more focused on making Russia great again and golfing than anything else.

Trumps strategy is to replace income tax on the wealthy, with taxes on goods for everyone, including poor people.\n \nLower income people will pay a higher portion of the tax for the nation, while the wealthy will get a massive tax break. \n \nMost of the lower income people who support Trump won't know how tariffs work, but they will be OK with it as Trump convinces them that the tariffs are hurting someone else even worse.

Very good summary. I will add that our I know you wanted to be concise and you nailed it. For anyone who is curious about how our politics make everything worse for us federally, let me explain it in a short time.\n\nTrudeau as of the day of this video, March 3, 2025, is STILL the PM. He said he WOULD resign once a new leader was picked through a democratic process. Right now, he's basically just doing photo ops in Ukraine, UK and anywhere else on our dime because Parliament is prorogued and the party in power, Liberal, is having a leadership race. So, while he may resign within the week once that leadership race is done, he's still technically in charge.\n\nWhat makes that race and the PM's prorogation so bad is that we're in the middle of a crisis - several actually - caused in part directly by Trudeau and his Liberals (and the NDP supporting them). The latest would be Trump's tariffs starting today, March 4, 2025. Trudeau always disappears during a crisis, leaving us to fend for ourselves - (1) COVID, he was at the cottage using every excuse not to be accountable for anything or using unconstitutional powers to crush a protest he didn't know how to handle, (2) Chinese spies, he's ignoring our intelligence service, (3) federal worker strike, he's in NYC at some gala.... I could go on but there's a reason we're hurting so bad.\n\nWe have zero federal leadership, and a federal government that makes things worse for us with things like: over-regulation, subsidizing media to keep us misinformed, nerfing select natural resource sectors but favoring others (oil and gas suffer, while coal is fine... probably because we sell it to China, but I digress), letting criminal out of jail, uncontrolled immigration, passing policies like the FHSA that drive home prices higher and higher, and of course, more and more taxes. I could go on about the billions in taxpayers' money the government blows - it's like a black hole - or the fact that MPs keep getting raises - April 1 is their fifth since COVID - and most federal and government employees are all getting raises at a time when the rest of us are learning to get by with less and less because we're taxed so much and housing, groceries, etc. are so unaffordable.\n\nI have applied for US citizenship. I want to stick around to fix Canada, but I think it's too far gone. We have too many socialists/communists in power and they're not getting voted out any time soon. It's been fun Canada, it's been fun.

Canada's primary issue is that it is becoming India lite, that is why quality of life is going down. Fix that problem and everything else will improve.

Wealth inequality. \n\nIncreased tax rates on the wealthiest 30%. Every developed country has spent 4 decades on structurally enabling the rich. The rich are now out competing everyone else for everything - housing being the most visible.

Housing affordability is an issue in Canada, and many, many Western countries. The paradox is: for homes to be more affordable, homeowners would have to, or be forced to, sell at a lower price than today's price. Why should current homeowners give up the equity in their homes so that someone else can afford it?

Well, she is right. They need to do it the right way. Pay taxes like everyone else! Stop taking advantage of things thinking they entitled.

My family has lived in Canada for several generations. My grandpa moved here from Italy and he started a large masonry company and become successful. But as a college student, I'm the 5% minority. Everyone else is from the third world, especially India and China. Our culture has been completely destroyed and replaced. Plus tens of Billions of dollars is being donated to them, and the aboriginals to fund their drugs and alcohol. There's thousands of very high homeless people wondering the streets, all funded through welfare. The cost of living has sky rocketed. I am moving the the U.S. I want to be with my own people! Multiculturalism has failed!

I'm tired of Canada being compared to the US and no one else. Yes, the US is more productive, richer and powerful than Canada, everyone knows that. But they're also all those 3 things to every other economy in the world! Don't stop comparing Canada to the US, but for god's sake, could you throw in some European and Asian countries too?

When was the last time an advanced economy actually started to trend backward while everyone else was pulling ahead? Brazil? Venezuela? Performative, shallow, and stunningly unqualified is probably the best way to describe our administration for the last 10 years. Looking forward to a new chapter but with the Damocles' sword of tariffs and annexation hanging over our heads, well, maybe soon we'll be wishing things were only as f**ked as they were in 2024...

Just saw how much moms get from child benefit, really tired of being forced to pay for someone elses kid, we need elon muskto clean our government after.

Shame living from someone else’s pocket & demanding what is not belong to them legitimately. From the 7 century everything was taken by force & violence. It’s time to stop this barbaric monsters for ever.

This is global. Why do people from India think no one else exists except them?

I feel so special being an American. India Hindu and everybody else wants to come here. So we defend ourselves like Fort Knox. Because i am American, I am like gold.

Rules have to apply same to everyone. If these fake students will get away with fraud, million more will come to try the same. They should have to follow immigration rules and law and if immigration tells them that they are not eligible, then they have to go back and prepare better or try somewhere else or work at home.

Got bit by a spider and ended up septic. In hospital for two weeks five blood transfusions. Two knee replacements. Hernia surgery. One child and we stayed in hospital three nights because he had a few issues. Went to Detroit for a surgery that wasn’t approved in Canada but Canada paid me back every penny including hotel costs. Out of all of the above I paid zero!!!! I was actually grouchy for only one min cuz I had to pay 20 bucks for the crutches. lol love my country and wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. Thank you Canada!!!!!

If you know to ask for change, u need to give proper change as well. I think such people want to populate hell. Such a unacceptable behavior. Such people should go and get their own food. Rather than troubling others and make else's life hard.

This is all because of Trump nothing else ?

Come on it's obvious Europeans are rich in racism what else you can expect them love loyalty oo come on the can't lose thier roots like our roots love Vasudev Kutumbkam they can't

High risk but high rewards ! A lifetime of free rent , free medical , free education and everything else that our veterans need ! FU leaches !

Thank god! \nHope this would help a bit as nothing else the liberals had done before has helped Canadians!

So let me get this staight. Criminals allowed into Canada and then cross the border in the US\nHow did they get into Canada in the first place. Oh yea, Trudeau let them in with little or no vetting. No wonder Trump is doing what he is doing to Canada . Trudeau has got to go. Resign and someone else as PM.

How surprising. I wonder what their masters from UK and USA will have to say about this? Actually, can they say this directly to Israili officials to their faces in front of the international media and in front of international assembly like the UN meetings? Can anyone actually make an ultimatom to Israil other than Türkiye? Because when Türkiye says something Israil stops and thinks about their actions 5 times sometimes testing out Türkiye’s patience. When Türkiye comes close, Israil asks Azerbaijan or others to talk to Turkish officials. So does anyone else in the region have the balls and courage and dignity and honour to do the same as Türkiye towards Israil?

it's a good thing Trump and his administration forced everything on the internet to stop fact checking and allow lies. otherwise how else would you be able to constantly post bullsh!t like this

Biden couldn’t even clean up his own back yard, yet he wanted to clean someone else’s. So now Trump is trying to clean up our yard because of Biden‘s mess. Also the Biden supporters need to go wash their own ? before they can wash someone else’s.

Adios! Maybe I can get a job now and some decent housing since I have been paying taxes for years and years.. Or maybe the govt can pay FOR my hotel fees, my food and everything else we give out.. Sorry, but it's time for survival now, it's me or you....and it has to be me in my world. Canada stand strong. Immigrants are welcome here but do it legally and contribute to our nation, not deplete it! We're drowning. Canada wake up!!!

Why should they have to leave their own land and take refuge somewhere else ?? \nThe occupiers are the criminals here . .
