Maybe Trump is a russian spy as a Trump double.. he supports Russia and goes against all historic friends.. or he is a fkn genius .

Idiots still getting their fake news from CNN and other loony left wing outlets. Once they spewed the Russian hoax and other hoaxes like the jussie Smollett hoax, CNN and the Dems were toast.

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.

As An American citizen I stand for righteous leadership and I stand with Canada, European allies and Mexico. Do what you have to do to protect your country your economy and your citizens. TRUMPSKI and his lap dog JD Vancekoff are ruining the United States of America!! They're not leaders, they're Russian assets, strongmen wannabe's and a scourge in the historical record of our nation. And all of the misled, under educated and misinformed folks who follow this man and his cult of personality have been lead astray by the propagandist on FOX News and right wing social channels and will pay for this just like the rest of us. Trump and his cronies are ONLY about enriching THEMSELVES and their friends and families. Not the working man and woman. Just the autocrats and oligarchs.

???????? here,If there’s one thing I learned in university as a political science graduate, and I did take a US government course was part of my degree. I thought that there were so many checks and balances on the president of the United States, but seeing his actions, I am very confused at how he is not being questioned for his mental stability and his actual ability to lead your country I mean to what degree is the definition of treason not applied I don’t understand how the president of the United States can now align himself with Russia and destroy allegiances with friends and allies This is not seen as treason?\nTo my American readers… just remember the United States knows no better friend than Canada….. so does any of this make sense? How is it that we are the enemy now and your president wants to support Russia is he a Russian operative? How are you not removing this guy from power where are all these checks and balances that you always bragged about through my entire life ?

The only logical expanation is Trump is a Russian asset, maybe an agent

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!

Trump isn't being played, he's a RUSSIAN ASSET.

Trump is a russian asset.

You don't need Canda if you have Russian .

Why are you not talking about the credible possibility that Trump is a Russian asset? Everything he is doing makes complete sense if this is true. CNN, you and and your journalists need to grow a spine and start leaning into this possibility and stop talking around it. Come on. We don't have time for this pussy footing around.

Russians are in the OVAL OFFICE!!! Donald Trump is a traitor and a KBG Plant!! He was recruited by his first wife a KBG agent who was brought to the US in 1978. as part of a plot to break in to the NYC real estate market!!! The idea was to find a way to launder the increasing profits from Moscows drug and gambling operations!!! He has worked with the Russians for many years and is a personal friend of Putins!!! Russia has control of the US GOVERNMENT AND THEY ARE BUSY DESTROYING THE US ECONOMY AND DEMOCRACY!!! You might as well put Putin in charge!!! Hopefully they will arrest and IMPEACH Trump and his government, before it's too late to do anything!!!

Trump chose to do this its not Canadas choice and I simple do not see how its justified. This is a tax on Americans make no mistake its OUR prices that will go up as well as Canadians. This sure smells of Russian influence to me, its almost as if Trump is trying to hurt America, he is for sure tearing up the Government. If Putin had a wish list separating us from our staunch allies would be #1

Washington invaded by two Russian idiots one Trump other idiot JD Vance

Trump is a Russian asset.

I cant believe we elected a president that is a russian asset.

Americans have shown their true colours!!! Russian simping fascists

A world recession is what we need to defeat the Russians, biden did not know how to do this except raise the interest rates. Maybe this is some kind of covert attack.

Make sense of that? The reason is Trump is a RUSSIAN ASSET!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trump is a Russian virus destroying America within

What the heck does Putin have on Donnie? Was it pedophilia on Epstein's Island? was it sex with boys and girls? Was it the mythical pee tapes? Whatever it is it has to be big enough to get Donnie to break with all the US's traditional allies which has to be making Putin rub his hands with glee. How far does this adjudged rapist, and 34 count felon that the US decided it wanted to make it's President, have to go before someone steps in and say that Trump represents a clear and \npresent danger to the economic and military security of the world? His administration forced New York's director of the FBI to resign because that man did not want to give up the names of personnel who investigated the Jan 6 insurrectionists. He put a known Russian apologist, Tulsi Gabbard, in charge. He has frozen aid to a country actively fighting for it's very survival against an aggressive and expansionist Russia. He applied tariffs against Canada and threatens the same against Europe., he has banned the freedom to protest in colleges though he freed people imprisoned for rising in actual insurrection against the Government. Dictatorship comes in steps isolation from the world and suppression of freedoms are but two. The free world weeps for what the US is becoming under this current administration.

The Russians made contact with Trump in Czechoslovakia over 40 years ago and probably invested in him. Search for Trump Czechoslovakia Guardian. ‼

OH JUSTIN YOU ARE SO RIGHT THIS IS VERY PERSONAL YOU MADE FUN OF HIM AND HE IS TAKING REVENGE, BUT PRESIDENT CHUMP OBVIOUSLY CANNOT SEPERATE BUSINESS FROM HIS PERSONAL PROBLEMS, THE WHOLE WORLD DOES NOT LIKE THIS GUY WHEN HIS TERM IN OFFICE IS OVER THE ONLY TWO PLACES THAT HE WOULD BE WELCOME IN IS HIS HOME COUNTRY AND RUSSIA AND I AM NOT SO SURE ABOUT RUSSIA I WROTE ON YOUTUBE BEFORE THAT THIS GUY IS SINKING THE AMERICAN FLEET FAST AND MORE THOROUGHLY THAN THE JAPANESE DID AT PEARL HAROR MAN AT THIS MOMENT THE TWO WORST NATIONALITIES TO BE IS AMERICAN AND RUSSIAN THEY BOTH ARE CAUSING GREAT HARM NOT ONLY TO THE WORLD, BUT MOSTLY TO THEIR OWN PEOPLE AND COUNTRIES TALK ABOUT SELFISH LEADER'S.

Make no mistake, Canada faces an existential threat in Trump. Trump has accomplished the normalization of lies such that he can lie about Canada to justify what he does. And many millions in the USA believe him. just like the victim blaming of Ukraine. Trudeau is right that Trump is intent on weakening us and i would add: along the way creating false pretext for coming in and “saving” us from our tyrannical and dangerous government. validating Russian behaviour where might makes right is part of the process for validating his expansionist goals. He will no doubt claim “nasty” Canadian behaviour like “Canadians are killing Americans by not doing enough on fentanyl” and that Trudeau calling him Donald is “unforgivable”. And all the lies will appeal to his base and justify Annexation. It has come to that

Trump is not American, he's Russian.

U got Russians in the white house!! Need a clean out fast.\nDanger,Danger.

Trump is a Russian mole and is reeking Havoc on the world in the name of Russia and his handler Putin !! wake up America get rid of this traitor

are trump and have farage and boris just been working for the russians all along

President Donald Trump is listening to worried about Putin, he is listening for worry of the Russian people! ? HUMANITY

ronald mc donald is a russian agent

I would align with Russia too, why side with the weaker country thats got no cards on the table and pretty close to being obliterated by russia. Also lets not forget Ukraine/nato continued to move weapons near russian border against the agreement so this was not some unprovoked invasion like your CNN wants you to think. Bunch of idiots

Now this is a true patriotic leader not a treasonous Russian asset

MAGA Russian puppets

It completely baffles me to hear such filth and ignorance coming from so many Americans commenting here. It has to be Russian bots right?!?

Donald is a pro Russian that F. .i refuse calling him a president..he is a joke

Long-term, nobody will trust the USA after this. US voters cannot be allowed to destroy trade, democracy and peace worldwide. All Western democracies will work towards insulating themselves from US influence, and that will impact the standards of living inside the US. The US will have to ally with Arab, Russian & Chinese 'friends' to survive, and that will remove the US from any semblance of a country guided by human morals, much less, the Christian religion.

It's what you get when you vote for a Russian asset. The enemy within

Thank you Canada. Maybe feeling Trump's policies directly will get into the heads of the selfish MAGA Americans and shake them free from their cult. Sadly, the welfare of their fellow Americans wasn't enough to vote for democracy, and now they will have to personally feel the pain. We, the defenders of democracy, will feel it too, but it's necessary to shake some sense into these idiots. This is years of Russian propaganda coming to fruition. Sorry Canada, I have voted against this, I have written and called my representatives, I have written and called politicians across the states begging them to stand up for us. I have gone to protests, I have done everything I can do while still remaining peaceful. Hopefully your country's justified retaliation can prevent the inevitable next step.\n\n-American progressive, USMC veteran, ally to Canada, Ukraine, and Europe.

This president is making choices against Americans and against our allies which are being called “dumb” by the WSJ. “Whacking friends!” Why? I think it is PROOF that Trump is a long time Russian Asset. He is a traitor.

I'm with Canada and not with the Russian assets.

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!!

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.

After all the US President is doing domestically and internationally please do not tell me he is not a Russian asset!

Trump is a Russian sympathizer that is the only explanation. Russia could easily invade Canada from the article

Trump is a Russian asset...It's the only rational explanation...The Russians have already won...The markets the US is losing aren't coming back...

I can make it make sense. DTJ is owned by Russia. He has been a paid Russian asset since 1987.

Didn't this man resign back in January due to low approval ratings? Nobody takes you seriously Sir, not even your own citizens. You did not want to secure your own border when it was in both of our best interests to do so. President Trump said we are pursuing diplomacy, not siding with Russia. As he said, if you are trying to negotiate a deal between two enemies you can't cast one out and only deal with one. You need the two sitting at the table and you have to be fair to both sides. The liberals want an endless war so they can profit from it. Most of them are heavy investors with defense contractors and that is not a coincidence. It is a conflict of interest. I disagree with how President Trump handled that meeting as those tough conversations should have happened privately. Nonetheless those conversations absolutely needed to happen. Thousands of Ukrainians and Russians dying and cutting blank cheques year after year with no end in sight is insanity. Each side is going to have to give something to end this.

It all looks like a coup d'état has succeeded in America, and Trump acts like a seasoned Russian stooge. If an enemy were to infiltrate the American establishment, they would behave exactly as Trump and his gang do now—under the guise of patriotism

Trump is a Russian agent and Americans are being held hostage by his administration!

nice try Canada and we the people love you. but we've had half the country brainwashed by a russian operative and his rich weirdo nazi-wannabe's. and the under educated have been lied to endlessly into believing this is good somehow. ? when we figure our shit out we'll come back and ask for your friendship again. really, people of canada, it hurts so many of us to be doing this to the world. im so sorry.
