Back in 2016, Trump introduced 25% tariffs on China 301-classification imports that severely damaged my business. For whatever reason, he then exempted the tariffs, but the public still assumed that they were in place. It was a perfect Trump win-win move to make the voters think that he was acting tough, while actually exempting the tariffs for us importers. Unfortunately, Biden got into office and immediately took away the exemptions and screwed us. I mention all of this in order to exemplify how nothing is as it seems when it comes to Trump. Sometimes you have to let this stuff play out before overreacting. I think that Canada made a mistake by overreacting so quickly. This will force Trump's hand to pursue the trade war, even if it was not his actual intention.

how dead do your brain cells have to be to think that doing something like this will immediately solve the problem. If there wasn't a demand there wouldnt be anyone trying to fill the demand. Purdue Pharma also helped create the demand by pushing highly addictive opioid drugs and lying about it to people. Those people they hooked didn't suddenly disappear. It created a chain that we are still seeing today. They would rather put a bandage on the bleeding wound than cough up the money and the actual will to start solving the crisis that is driving people into drugs. Like lack of affordable housing, once people lose that safety and are on the street drugs end up providing a relief from their situation. Lack of any meaningful mental health care, or any health care at all. There are underlying things that aren't getting solved, people will always find new ways to find or make drugs whether those drugs come from other countries or just created inside the US.

Actually, what is US manufacturing nowadays? ? what can we buy from US?

Important note here: The administrative burden alone will harm Canadians more than it hurts the U.S. Furthermore, the tariffs will affect working class Canadians far more than 'bourgeois' Canadians. As bad as it sounds its better to work things out rather than retaliate. This is 4 years people.\nI highly recommend that people start reading into why these tariffs actually came to be instead of relying on the Canadian media.

The only problem is Trump behaves like a 4 year old. You can’t reason with them. Look what happens if you say no to a toddler. \nTantrum . This isn’t a regular bully, actually need the advisory of a phycologist on this one.

I think all the negative comments aren't actual Americans but the usual DW comment russian bots bored with no Ukrainian news stories to complain about today

Americans don’t seem to understand that all the “cool things to do and see in the USA” you don’t need to actually live in the USA to enjoy those we can just get on a plane and fly to those places for vacation just like Americans do. We had our honeymoon on Oahu, stayed two weeks in a VRBO in Waianaie with all the native Hawaiians, rented a jeep, drove around, saw all the things, felt bad for all the service workers who live only on tips under labor laws that a third world dictatorship wouldn’t even subject its people to.\n\nNotice how all the things Canadians criticize America for it’s for being needlessly cruel and horrible to people when there’s the option to be compassionate and supportive and ethical?\n\nBut then every thing Americans criticize Canada for it’s for being “too compassionate”, “too supportive”, “too caring” when the option American say we should have taken instead was the the option of unnecessary cruelty?

It's sad that these people think they are entitled... I would love to know if they would do this to another country... Actually, why don't you go try doing it to poland ?

So all the foreigners flood canada get a bunch of free money and free help. Raising taxes for citizen who have lived here all there lives then when those taxes get too much for them and the free help theyre given by the government. They just dip and leave all the debt on actually canadians yep canada is doomed and the govermment let THE DOOM in willingly.

Right now Canadaian borders are wide open, no one is actually running the country, same ppl who ruined the country are trying to get elected again without even an inch of remorse, it has become a breeding ground for terrorist supporting groups, foreign interference, everyone can do what evr they want without having to face consequences, smuggling hundreds of kilos of drugs easily across the borders...Canada is now a land that is imploding and a prime example of how to run a country to ruins in 9 yrs...

This dude os actually handsome if he become straight.

Too many Indian abroad\nThey have very bad attitude regardless of age, rank , tittle or foreign passport holders\nNZ, US, AUS etc\nMost are rude, loud and feel so enttiled\nThey cause drama in all places\nHotel, airport and planes etc\nThey are all over places and I wonder how they survive \nwhen most ONLY EAT VEGETARIAN\nStrictly Indian vegetarian*\nVery picky eaters and drinks alot opt beers and whiskey \nTHE ONLY COUNTRY WITH WAY TOO MANY WHEEL CHAIR users at the airport\nwhen they actually can walk

Possible solution..... Boisterously verbally downshift the agenda..... Fool them into thinking okay back to business normal.... To de-escalate the excitement..... Donald Trump's a lame duck anyway..... You can say anything he wants to they'll still accept him..... What difference does it actually make to him....

Tyrant... actually they should be glad to deport because usa is the enemy within and is falling. So good for them free ride out of this hell hole

This new Trans movement? Where did that. Come from? It was a result of Social media grooming and brainwashing ,a home for confused kids and oppurtunists ,Activists sadly, and Ultra Progressives,piggy on the back of the LGB movement,I feel for the Actual Trans people and children should be left be left alone

Not gonna lie ... I thought the number would be bigger than that actually?

Does he actually believe what he is saying. Seems to go against everything that America stands for. No more land of the free.

More human pain, suffering, and deaths have occurred during the 4 years of BIDEN'S administration and with Democrat immigration policies. Turning a blind eye to obvious issues can be more destructive than actually BECOMING A RESPONSIBLE MATURE ADULT IN A CIVILIZED SOCIETY.

La deportación masiva de millones de personas indocumentadas sería tremendamente costosa y tendría un impacto catastrófico en nuestra economía, que sería expansivo y afectaría a todos los estadounidenses. Trump debería solucionar los problemas de la economía de los Estados Unidos, como la inflación, el crédito más estricto, la falta de vivienda, el desempleo, el gasto militar, las guerras en Asia occidental y las reparaciones de puentes o carreteras sin culpar falsamente a los inmigrantes indocumentados. Los inmigrantes indocumentados o solicitantes de asilo pagan miles de millones de dólares cada año en impuestos. A pesar de su estatus indocumentado o actual, estos inmigrantes, y sus familiares, están agregando valor a la economía estadounidense, no solo como contribuyentes, sino también como trabajadores, consumidores y empresarios. Además, no deberíamos acusar falsamente a los solicitantes de asilo o a los inmigrantes indocumentados por el problema de las drogas ilegales o el aumento del crimen. Esta retórica malvada o narrativa de cuento de hadas con olor a mendacidad es antisocial, divisiva y debe detenerse.

No wonder CNN and the Democrats are failing. How the actual fudge is that his 'opinion'? You clowns are so out of touch with reality.

Why do a piece like this when it is clearly obvious when you interview actual servicemembers past and present about the importance of military camaraderie and mental fitness. If somebody is confused about their sex or gender, that is a mental illness which excludes such people from serving in the United States military branches. CNN gets it wrong, on the wrong side of history even after such extreme ratings losses and audience. Kaitlin is not helping AT ALL.

I’m glad we have a president that’s actually doing something about this. My parents cam here legally busted their butts off working minimum wage to make a better life for our family. If you want to come here do it legally!!!

ALL you Black people are also trespassing your only here because your people were brought to be slaves so don't be saying your here because you actually belong here. Don't even start because your people dont have papers so technically your don't either doesn't matter if you were born here your still trespassing so you got to go as well.

As a Canadian i find your videos verry informative and i actually work with a few guys from Punjab who are on visas right now so the shared information is appreciated as it gives insight on what they are dealing with in their lives. Keep up the good work ?

My heart breaks for those children. Having to be a part of this and being fearful of what’s happening. Ugh. Such a sad state of affairs that the want to be here so badly and of course now they are panicking. I’m not justifying it just saying it’s actually very sad.

This is untrue stop talking your shit. The liberals let everyone in the mother come to America now we have a huge problem so it’s actually a a liberal situation of evil

lol something tells me she probably is feeling very differently right now. she probably didn't think it would actually happen. what a rube.

Finally!!!\nAn American president That actually puts Americans first…\nAlpha President Kicking butt and taking names

Look gay lefties from Gaymerica, nobody will be afraid of going to war against a bunch of homos, that's why this is actually good for you, so stop complaining

repatriation drives,” a series of informal raids that took place around the United States during the Great Depression. Local governments and officials deported up to 1.8 million people to Mexico, according to research conducted by former California State Senator Joseph Dunn, who in 2004 investigated the deportations under President Herbert Hoover. Dunn estimates around 60 percent of these people were actually American citizens, many of them born in the United States to first-generation immigrants.\n\nU.S. Immigration Before 1965\n\n\n?? ? ? \nThe logic behind these raids was that Mexican immigrants were supposedly using resources and working jobs that should go to white Americans

But, you are actually male. Why the surgery?

Honestly I would normally be against this but I actually feel that this person deserves to be in

Try pulling this in any other country in the world and see what happens. Just try to switch citizenship without income anywhere in the world. You just can’t do it. It’s not the land that they want (back) it’s the free resources and money at the expense of the current inhabitants…which is theft in many respects. We all want the hope for a better life, free from persecution. Give them the land, it won’t make a difference without the free stuff. AND they’re Venezuelans here, not Mexicans…so really, whose land are they looking for actually?

I can’t believe we actually …….

Hmm as someone who voted for Trump I still believe in compassion. Some of you should try that. I am ok with the deportations but it is quite excessive to place families and children in a prison where terrorists and the worst criminals were kept. Yes they came here illegally but most of them are actually decent working people. If you deport them, treat them as human beings.

You see what Biden done? He actually made illegal immigrants feel like they are welcome and now Trump is the bad guy..get outta here! Trump is doing fantastic!❤

Though the 1940 census form filed by Mary Anne and her husband, Fred Trump, stated that she was a naturalized citizen, she did not actually become one until March 10, 1942.[1][6][7] However, there is no evidence that she violated any immigration laws prior to her naturalization, as she frequently traveled internationally and was afterwards able to re-enter the U.S. Asylum seeker illegal immigrant that over stayed the visa

This happened for months in Germany and the government/Merkel did nothing against it. Actually it lasted years. Who arrived could stay and got money and shelter.

Much better that Trump shills Qardun than some memecoin as this coin has actual utility

This person was born a man and tried to change to a women. HE should be able to do what he wants in his personal life but not in the military. To actually go out and try to force your body to change to a women from man is not normal.

Irregular migration, great use of language. It’s actually an illegal immigrant.

They should be afraid because they are wrong. They take advantage of our system and deprive actual Americans. They should live in fear.

I keep hearing that illigals also pay taxes. How does that actually work in the US? If you have no papers or permits....... how are they registered in the tax system?

There is in fact no actual housing shortage in the USA whatsoever. The problem is that that wealthy individuals have strong incentives to park excess capital in real estate and landlords have strong incentives to maintain asset values through cash flow potential (appraised through $/sq.ft rent revenues). What ends up happening in both cases is that you end up with lots of empty houses sitting collecting dust artificially gaining value due to scarcity, and with rentals, you end up with perpetually inflated rents and vacancy rates that are as high as a landlord can tolerate just to maintain the appearance of value to the lenders. Often these owners will borrow more money and use an apartment that might be 40% vacant as the collateral for the lender and go buy another building and so on. What people don't penalize is the fact that that 40% vacant building with 60% rented out at above fair value gets treated on the balance sheet to the bank as if its 90% rented out from an asset value perspective thereby setting the asset price artificially high. Simple legislation of the tax code can fix this issue and unlock lots of sidelined housing. All we have to do is progressively tax 2nd 3rd 4th ect. homes higher and higher rates that essentially cancel out the asset gains, and do something similar for vacant units in a apartment building. \nIts just at the core a case of the rich hoarding something that has been made artificially rare. On top of all of this, because of how valuable properties have become, there are now many interests that capitalize on the entire process of building new housing that make it ever more expensive. Our taxes are funding numerous regulators that stymie new development, while the developers have to then hire numerous attorneys and planners to pitch a project and litigate it through the cities to get approvals. This can take over 10 years in a major city. All this contributes to the ridiculous costs of building these days.

Yeah a year ago. This will never happen under Trump's watch! We actually have a president now... ??

so let's pose a question to all those who seem to just hate the LGBTQIA+ community for whatever their reasons are....if someone who happens to be transgender saves your life, saves the life of one of their team members or perhaps leads an OP to a successful outcome, would you say that they were unqualified after the fact ? would you say that now as the regulations are being changed that they were never qualified to have performed those duties in the past ?? I've said this before, when you're downrange you don't give a damn if someone has a taco or a hotdog in their lunchbox, all that matters is that they've got your six and are willing to complete the directive as ordered. Every single one of you haters needs to realize that so many LGBTQIA+ service members have dedicated their efforts to keeping your asses safe in this country since the inception of the uniformed services were established. Should they not have done so ? Why does who they love, have sex with or how they dress actually matter to you as long as you're still able to go out and feed your fat ass an all American Cheeseburger under the watchful eye of the American Flag ?! And at the end of the day, all they ask is to be able to serve their country with dignity. It's disgusting that so many of y'all simply hate other folks this way and try to diminish the service of the LGBTQIA+ community.

This was during Sleepy Joe Biden’s presidency. He allowed this to happen. Actually, the whole democrat party did. During Obama’s time, they were cracking down on illegal migrants, even Hillary spoke against it. But when Biden got into office, he opened the border wide and said, “Come in. We welcome you.” And most of these migrants were not vetted, no paperwork, drugs flowed freely with them along with trafficked women and children. This was an allowed invasion to serve the political interest of the democrats. But glad to know President Trump has closed the border and deporting these illegals. 2025 is the time to get our country back.

I can't believe this half-wit of a journalist actually said that gender was an opinion! ?

There are more than 10 countries they pass thru that actually speak Spanish before they get here. If it was about escaping Venezuela they could have stopped before hitting Ecuador.

This is actually very old video
