I know a lot of people in the comment section have TDS so you look even more stupid praising this guy. You have no idea what this guy has done to Canada. His approval rating his lower than when Biden was President. He's a joke and this is just a smoke screen before the election where his party will be annihilated. Calling him Donald in a press conference was a beta move. Especially since he's on his way out in shame. At least the President gave a bit of respect and called him Governor hahaha.

The us relationship isn’t just deteriorated between them and Canada \nIt is the same for any other country in the world just now \nThe US doesn’t have a genuine friend now anywhere other than Russia and North Korea \n\nFrankly, I hope Trump continues his stupidity and it kills the US because the only way to demonstrate to the immense dumb electorate that supports Trump is for his own idiocy to hurt them. We don’t have time to try to educate them now. These people are an equal mix of ignorance, racism and entitlement. \n\nI’m in france and I’ll be honest, if I see or hear a US national (and we can figure out who is Canadian and not) then they will get no help from anyone here. \n\nThe US i grew up admiring as a kid in the U.K., the us I subsequently worked and lived in, the us people I worked with globally … all gone\nAnd frankly, it is the fault of the American electorate

If your most stable genius noticed that this very eloquent man referred to very. simple. speech. and. short. main. sentences. when addressing him? Yes, you can insult people without throwing stupid names at them. Very fitting. The orange messiah deserves every malice he can possibly get. And more, because this whole trade war will affect especially poor and medium income US consumers. CANADA will help Canadian citizens affected from the tariffs. Guess what DT´s administration will do for US citizens. Exactly.

Are you people stupid. Canada will fail in 12 months. Hence the reason he said they can send us into economic ruin.. when the hell is the last time you bought a product from Canada? exactly

I've been saying since Trump said that he's going to put tarrifs on Canada, that's going to hurt the US in the economy and jobs and well here we are..\n\nAnd to think that some people think Trump is doing a great job with all this, is mind boggling.. but I guess they can't see through his lies and stupidity.

Go for it, Canada! \nThe trade war trump started is stupid, and we the PEOPLE of USA do NOT support this stupid, costly trade war.

Do what you have to do Canada I'm American mango Mussolini is just stupid!!\n\nHe's a greedy evil racist narcissistic misogynist and blatant liar. Really all the tariffs are is a poor person's text is meant to hurt confused ? and there's no point in that? \n\nFentanyl is no more dangerous or available than any other drug that has ravaged America in the world. If the people don't take it there is no problem no one is forced. Go Canada go God bless.

Mr Trudeau, most Americans are with you 100%. We don’t want this, it’s ridiculous. Please know this Trump action is not the will of the American people. He acts alone and with stupidity that cannot be explained. We love Canada, Mexico, Europe, and all our allies. I feel we are being held hostage by one man and his sycophant cult. Please help us. ?

As an American I can say with a full heart that I stand with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine. Donald Trump is a pig and the majority of the American people are complete and utter assholes for electing this deranged demagogue piece of shit. To the world at large, I'm deeply sorry for the stupidity of my people.

Go Canada! Be tough on America. America deserves NO sympathy. I'm sorry. Most Americans are sorry about this situation. I hate the orange troll and I'm just as angry at the people that voted for him. But, I don't think even they thought he would do this and probably trusted the Congress to stop these things. But, the Republican side of Congress is made up of cowards. This will hurt America. I just hope in the end, this will make America better because people will realize the consequences of their stupidity. And stop electing spineless and evil representatives.

This man is not stupid he’s playing The people acting as if he’s tough and trump is inlove with Russia cause that’s all they have to stand on . And if Canada keeps on you will lose this trade war, we are 70% of your GDP !!

AMERICA IS FCKD!! You may be able to survive a trade war with Canada, you may be able to survive a trade war with Mexico and China, you may be able to survive sending millions of undocumented, necessary workers home but you can't survive it all at once.\n To make your situation even more dire you are busily alienating all your allies while sucking up to murderous dictators who will happily knife you in the back at the first opportunity. \nAll this because your country is full of stupid, hateful people who just couldn't stand the thought of a black female president. \nFAFO.

Canada is not merely a friend to the U.S. It is family.\n\nAs a U.S. American, I side with and support my sibling – the Canadian people, and their government – in this needless, stupid attack by the U.S. President against them and his own people.

He thinks we want it. He’s wrong. I don’t I’m sorry it’s happening. I’m sad I’m an American. As a Christian I will be praying earnestly and to Canada- I Am personally sorry for stupid people ?

Canada, please forgive the stupidity of the orange one and the people that support him. We aren’t all this stupid.

Trumps own words, “Vote for me, you will never have to vote again!” \nThis one is showing up on several pages. Make up your own mind. \nThere is something rancid in America, a slow, creeping rot that smells like cold McDonald’s fries, aerosol hairspray, and the unmistakable musk of a country too sedated to recognize its own hostage situation. For years, the idea that Donald Trump was compromised by Russia was dismissed as paranoid fantasy—just another wild-eyed conspiracy theory, another overblown headline in the endless saga of American political dysfunction. \nBut now, two former Soviet intelligence officers—Alnur Mussayev and Yuri Shvets—are saying it outright: Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987, groomed as an asset, and remains under Russian control to this day. \nAnd the worst part? He’s already back in the White House. \nThat’s right, America. You did it. You walked face-first into the banana peel of history, slipped, and fell straight into the arms of Vladimir Putin. Trump was kicked out in 2020, spent four years plotting his comeback, and now he’s returned, like a bloated, orange cockroach that just won’t die. The Kremlin’s favorite stooge is running the country again, and this time, he knows exactly how to stay in power. \nIf you think this is just another round of the Trump Show, you’re not paying attention. This isn’t politics anymore. This is treason. This is foreign subversion. This is a God forsaken coup in slow motion. \nLet’s break it down, nice and simple. \nAlnur Mussayev isn’t some Twitter conspiracy theorist with a tinfoil hat and a podcast. He’s the former head of Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee, which means he knows exactly how Russian intelligence works—because he was part of the system. And what he’s saying should make every American’s blood run cold. \nAccording to Mussayev, Trump was identified, recruited, and compromised by the KGB in 1987 during his first trip to Moscow. They saw him for what he was: a narcissistic, greedy, attention-starved buffoon who could be easily manipulated. The KGB flattered him, promised him business deals, and planted the seeds of political ambition in his empty little head. And from that moment on, he was their man. \nBut Mussayev isn’t alone. Former KGB major Yuri Shvets said the exact same thing in 2021: Trump was cultivated by Soviet intelligence because he was an easy mark—too stupid to realize he was being played, too egotistical to care. They saw him as a useful idiot—a man who could one day be nudged into power, a walking, talking Trojan Horse for Russian interests. \nAnd now? The plan has worked. Trump spent four years in office weakening America from within, got booted out, and now he’s back for round two. \nIf you had told the American public in 1962 that a Soviet-backed asset would one day sit in the White House, they would have burned Washington to the ground before letting it happen. But today? Nobody seems to care. \nThe media treats this like just another wacky subplot in the never-ending Trump reality show. Congress is too busy fighting over meaningless culture war nonsense to do anything about it. And the American public? Exhausted. Numb. Checked out. Years of scandals—Russia collusion, Ukraine blackmail, classified documents, tax fraud, sexual assault, an attempted coup—have fried the country’s brain like an overcooked steak at Mar-a-Lago. \nTrump has done the impossible. He has committed so many crimes, so openly, so brazenly, that none of them matter anymore. \nAnd now, with Mussayev’s revelation that Trump is an active foreign asset, we have finally reached the point where the biggest political scandal in American history is met with a collective shrug. \nThis is how democracy dies—not with a bang, but with a goddamn eye-roll. \nThis is the part where the skeptics start clutching their pearls. “Oh, come on,” they say. “If Trump were really a Russian asset, wouldn’t there be more proof?” \nTo which I say: Are you blind, or just willfully stupid? \nLet’s go through the evidence, shall we? \nTrump spent his entire first term doing exactly what Russia wanted. He attacked NATO, calling it “obsolete” and threatening to pull the U.S. out. He tried to blackmail Ukraine into manufacturing dirt on Joe Biden, because weakening Ukraine helps one man and one man only: Vladimir Putin. He pulled U.S. troops out of Syria, handing power over to Russian forces. He picked fights with Canada and Europe while cozying up to dictators. \nEven now, in his second term, he is more openly pro-Putin than ever. He has made it clear that he will not protect NATO allies from Russian aggression. He is actively dismantling America’s alliances, just as Russia planned. And while Americans scream at each other over whether Target should sell rainbow t-shirts, Trump is quietly selling the country to the Kremlin. \nAt some point, you have to stop calling it a coincidence and start calling it what it is: treason. \nThe United States is running out of time. If Trump serves out this term without being removed, America as a functioning democracy is finished. \nThe media needs to wake up. Enough with the “Trump fatigue” excuse. This is not just another scandal—this is the single greatest infiltration of American power in history. Journalists need to dig into Mussayev’s claims, demand declassification of intelligence files, and treat this like the national emergency that it is. \nCongress needs to subpoena Mussayev immediately. His testimony must be public, and every document he has should be reviewed. If there is proof that Trump has been compromised since the 1980s, the American people need to know. \nThe Justice Department needs to stop pretending that Trump is just another politician. If there is evidence that the sitting president of the United States is working in Russia’s interests, he must be removed from office and prosecuted for espionage. \nAnd the American public? You have one last chance. This is not about Republican vs. Democrat. This is not about taxes, gas prices, or whatever nonsense outrage is dominating the news today. This is about whether the United States remains a sovereign nation, or if we spend the rest of the century as a Russian client state with a golf course. \nThe sheer volume of Trump's corruption, the blatant nature of his crimes, the mountain of evidence that should have ended his political career a hundred times over—none of it mattered. He survived it all, not because he was innocent, but because he drowned the country in so much scandal that nothing stuck. \nBut this time, it’s different. If Mussayev and Shvets are right, this isn’t just another chapter in the endless Trump circus. This is the culmination of a decades-long Russian intelligence operation to install an asset in the White House. \nThere is no coming back from this. If America lets Trump serve out this term without removing him, then the United States as a democratic republic is finished. The country won’t collapse overnight. There won’t be tanks in the streets. Instead, the destruction of democracy will happen in slow motion—buried under lawsuits, propaganda, and corruption so blatant that people stop caring. \nIf America lets this happen—if Trump is allowed to complete his mission—then Putin wins. The West crumbles. And the people who could have stopped it will look back, years from now, and wonder how they let it happen. \nGood night, and good luck. Because if people don’t wake up, America is going to sleepwalk straight into its own funeral.

Wow, what an intelligent speech from Mr. Trudeau! (compared to the orange, stupid, crazy old man's liars).\nWe stand with Canada and Ukraine. Sorry, American people! We boycott all kinds of American products: NO Tesla, NO vacation in the USA, NO Apple, NO Netflix, NO Lewis, Nike, McDonald, Coke...

Trump has turned our friendship with Canada into a stupid, embarrassing fiasco. What is the benefit for the people? That's right, none. I am proud of Prime Minister Trudeau. That's correct, I hang my head in shame because I am from the USA.

Canada will find other markets for their products and the US will have to scramble. This is such a stupid, stupid shame. Stupid people voting for stupid leaders doing stupid things. I'm sorry, Canada.

As a Canadian i prefer to join USA as Trudeau made our Canada a third world country, our politicians are so stupid and ignorant that they invite SS Nazi veterans in our parliament as heroes spitting on the memory of thousands of Canadians who died to free Europe . Ontario has 4 cities now who declared a hunger emergency, people is so poor they have no food to feed their families

We know Canada, we know world. There are just millions of stupid people in the US and I don't see that changing, unfortunately.

People in the comments are stupid. You don’t know what you’re talking about. Governor Trudeau just screwed Canada

If you look up the definition of fool in the dictionary there, you will find the photo of DJT. But to play to the Russians as he is makes him their useful fool. There will absolutely be a war sooner or later because of this amazing treasonous stupidity. Not with Canada, but all of the nations are now interconnected and this will reverberate and people will die who would never need to.

Trump wants the World to collapse so his billionaires and america can buy up the stock market and dominate the World. It’s not trade blocks, it’s Dictator blocks. If that doesn’t work he’ll invade Canada and Mexico most likely and just take it. At this point, I hope America implodes. Either way it’s a mass suicide. Trump isn’t a smart man, he’s an evil man. And people who persist in making excuses for this creature are just traitors, the lowest of the low, stupid, greedy war mongers.

We don't want this either, but a few dense people voted this foolish wannabe dictator as president so unfortunately we all have to suffer for their stupidity. Trust if I had the financial funds, I'd pack my bags and move to good ol' Canada.

CNN correspondence never gives the more impactful concerns - in this case, the concern should be the fact that DT is attacking Canada, our friends, and Mexico, our friends - because he's a fkn traitor - and the US Constitution that says it's our American duty to stop people like him. The government and the common people must be overlooking these crimes and willing to give up their rights and freedoms. The original KGB and the long running Putin agenda is the slow game in his global conquest for power. You have to consider the geopolitics. If Mexico and Canada won't defend us (because they hate Trump) DT can/will sell out America to Russia, in turn Canada would be the closest place to conquer, then Mexico. It's stupid tho, unless the UN stands back and watches this happen too. Think I'm bullshittin, reading too far into things, but I'm not. Nobody is at the wheel but Trump, and he doesn't even know how to drive. You, the people and corporate new media will never read far enough to get the entire picture. Krasnov stole the Country to handicap us in the Cold War, except the War is white hot. He's in line with Hitlers handbook. And don't forget, that Nazis were white people who had no problem offing white people. Just sayin. Nobody is safe in Trump country. It's all Biffed up now.

❤ Canada. We, the sane, non-MAGAt Americans, also do not want this, nor did we vote for this because we did NOT vote for an obviously mentally ill, functionally illiterate, elderly man with signs of dementia, whose main function besides destroying our country to enrich himself & all of his millionaire & billionaire buddies, is acting as a useful idiot pain for Putin. We, the Americans who value what our country has stood for, whose fathers & and grandfathers fought in both World Wars, who lived in the time before all of the current vaccines existed, who believe in equality, who value the immigrants--documented or undocumented, who believe our country should welcome them & make their paths to citizenship easier because we understand how our country & economy benefit from them living in this country, who understand & value the roles that the WHO, NATO, & the United Nations have played in keeping us ALL safer for many decades bc we REMEMBER or were told by our parents, what it was like b4 those things existed, who either lived thru The Great Depression or had parents & grandparents did, understand what the economic crisis that Trump & his band of greedy ahole idiots are deliberately causing. WE didn't do this. WE fought against it. We tried to explain & warn people about what is happening & what will happen, but you didn't EFFING LISTEN. WE are ANGRY. WE will NOT help any of you who caused this & this includes every MSM who is too afraid to speak truth to power. Start doing that NOW. Start with THIS: It's called The Gulf of Mexico, NOT the Gulf of America. Eff every Trump supporters & GOP politician--at EVERY level of government. Trump can TRY to hide what he's doing to the economy in his stupid reports. Do you honestly believe the average American pays attention to those? No, most are too busy worrying over how to pay their bills & all they'll see is that their situation is getting worse. They can't find a job. They can't afford gas. They can't afford groceries. You can't cover any of that up. WE stand with Canada, Ukraine, the EU, & every other ally nation. Not Russia. Putin can go straight to hell & the sooner the better.

Trump wants a literal war with Canada. He wants his name in history book. That's all it's to him, just like for Putin. Sick evil people.\n\nWhen he's going to blame Canada for the destruction of USA stock market due to his stupid tariff war, he'll pretend that's a good excuse to take the country by force. This is just plain evil. America went in one generation from hopeful and peace loving nation to Putin's best friend. Sickening.\n\nWhat does Trump think his actions are going to do? Most of the world now hates him. Most of the world now hates Elon, and Tesla. He's a destroyer, not a builder.\n\nRepublican party and everyone working in right wing media, you happy now? You happy that Putin is able to take over entire country because of your bigotness and hatred for minorities? You're going to get your FAFO too one day, that's the revolution that will not be fought with words of appeasement or be as miserable failure as Jan 6.

America, don't think that Canada, Mexico, Europe and more and more countries only hold dictator Trump and his dictator wanna-bee Vance responsible for this! More than half of the American people voted for him and therefore also for their backward stupid policies!

An other FACT ; don' t get FOOLED !!! : Liberals parti was about to LOOSE the Governance of Canada... BUT this "WAR" again President Trump was what the LIBERALS WANT !!!! Because now some stupids peoples have started to think the LIBERALS are now our "SAVIOR"... Witch is the VERY OPPOSITE of the TRUTH ... Justin Trudeau have to go HOME ...

Thank you Prime Minister showing the American people how stupid and ignorant nearly half the country is. Americans want their country back vote the garbage out. I wouldn't hold my breath. A very sick and drug dependant half the country. Don't blame Mexico or Canada

This is what happens when stupid people vote for bankrupt businessmen who have no clue about Civics, History, or running a damn government. Canada and Ukraine are our friends!!!! As an American I stand with both! Trump can go to Hell! Same with his ignorant ass supporters so spare me your replies which only support your ignorance!

Me, one of the American people, in answer to your stupid assertions, should point out that the issue at hand is not one of economics but, we are against illegal immigrants and deadly drugs being smuggled from Canada into the United States. America has, for generations, supported the Canadian economy via a false and favorable acceptance of the Canadian dollar. Americans have no issue with the Canadian people, we like them. I view the despicable liberals controlling Canadian policy, oppressing Canadians, as a bole on Canada,s back side. Turdrow sucks.

As a veteran I find traitor trump's actions to Canada, Mexico as total ly stupid. His actions will hurt the American people more than we can imagine. Aligning with putin is treasonous, cause that's what traitors do.

Good luck America with launching trade war against Canada, EU, China, MX etc..American people have NO CLUE what gonna hit them, whats coming with this relentness STUPIDITY by Trump admin..NO FIN CLUE

Trump is full of shit!!! This has nothing to do with drugs etc- he wants Canada’s resources, the artic and our land!!! Drugs, guns and criminals have been coming into Canada from the US for years. He must think people are absolutely stupid. FUCK OFF trump - Done with being polite- hashtag - fuck off trump

This is insane were at war with Canada thanks to ALL The STUPID MAGA People Who Were Hell Bend Over in Hatred of Other Persons that have a Different color than you. Instead using common sense and do some actual research on these Clowns in the white house and checked out other media outlets that doesn't cater to your false egos and pride and false information from these habitual liars and fact xheck who is the truth teller and who is the liars and it all comes to Trump and his Criminal Clowns he has placed in Office

Your stupid stop crying no more money for Canada.....im the people an they did it to you i buy nothing from you an i do an never done business with you....we are America free from your comments...an Putin i respect...so go find your money somewhere else...goodbye canada

Pull the camera back and look at the big picture. The US has been divided sharply down the middle of the political spectrum. Canada has been crumbling under stupid political and economic decisions. This trade war is uniting the common people both American and Canadian and supportive allies around the world. Corruption has bubbled to the surface and many things that conspiracy theorists have been mocked for is now commonly known as truth. The people will unite while the Oligarchs mutter “let them eat cake” and there will be a reckoning. Donald might be making stupid choices, but perhaps that is what we needed to finally wake up and unite.

Honestly I don't know why people hate on prime minister Trudeau I think he did an amazing job during a time when nobody could predict what was happening during covid and I am glad he is speaking out because in my opinion Trump has lost his mind I am not joking I think he either has dementia or dementia? and he has been making fun of Canada ever since he got elected again and what is wrong with Americans that they re-elected this person that made their country a laughingstock honestly it makes no sense to me❤ and from him saying he's going to make Canada a state of his we are bigger than your whole f**** country you stupid bastard? sorry but he makes me so angry and yes I am a proud Canadian❤

I’m sorry that Trump is so unreasonable. Trump only cares about the income that will benefit the rich, himself and power. The tariffs will effects jobs and people. Trump is an embarrassment to most of the people here. Elon Musk help him win the election by paying people to vote for Trump which I think should be against the law. Trump is putting the USA in a very dangerous place. Most of us stand with Canada and Ukraine but no one can bring Trump to reason. I really think Trump is plain outride stupid. Please keep fighting for Canada.

Yet, a majority of Canadians are so full of hatred themselves and want to replace Trudeau with a Trumper named Pierre Poilieve. This is how stupid people are all over the world, this is not just a US thing. The Trump propaganda forced Trudeau to step down for no real reason. He let in too many immigrants yes,,but so did every other world leader, thats it, but enough for the Canada Trumpers to throw away free health care. Trunpers in Ontario just won a landslide with Dictator Doug Ford.\nOnce Pierre Poilieve takes charge we will be paying for healthcare and a 51st state. \nCanadians are making the same mistake due to fake news and propaganda by Trumpers/Truckers. Those Canadians dont want free health care anymore, they want Pierre Poilieve's hate filled agenda over a smart well spoken guy like Trudeau. Just watch and see...Canada is about to f up bad..

Prime Minister Trudeau has spoken calmly the Truth of the situation, that Trump has imposed upon Canada and the USA.\nTrump does not care how much American people will Suffer, and has utter contempt for Canadians.\nThese Tariffs are Stupid and Pointless, that will do no good for Canada or the USA, and will hurt the USA the Most.

I am a Canadian. I wish our jackass , so called PM would keep his very stupid mouth shut. We just hate the SOB. Trump hates him too and for good reasons. I wish Trudeau would just disappear and go to hell. He is such a scum bag . He should realize he is a f’n nobody in the grand scheme of things. Most people in Canada hate him. He should have called an election immediately. Instead he is aggravating the situation by his stupidity.

Sorry Canada that the Americans people are morons to stupidly vote for a felon and a dictator Trump now the whole world has to suffer! ?

Real Americans are on the side of Canada , it's a shame how one sad excuse of a so called man has caused so much damage in such a short time and the stupid people thinks he is doing great work , anyway , Canada most of America is behind you and as an American I will do my best to buy what I can that's made in Canada

Looking at these comments about trump is mind blowing. Canada and all the other countries are not going to pay for our national debt!!! It’s freaking stupid to say you stand with Canada and you didn’t vote for this. . . Canada is barely hanging on too. It’s America that has been carrying all these countries for far too long and what are they giving back???!! You people need to fully understand the reality of the situation before commenting your nonsense. If anything, leave our country!! You people came here and took it from us!! Remember that!

Lord have mercy on all the innocent people that are going to feel the clinch of a stupid individual...who have no reason to be running a country...BUT MOST OF ALL..PROTECT OUR BELOVED CALM AND QUIET PEACEFUL COUNTRY CANADA..IN JESUS NAME WE PRAYED...????????????????❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤????????????????????????

FEEDBACK: I've operated various businesses in Canada and all I can say is, 'never again'. The BUREAUCRACY grows in strength every year, issuing more & more regulations, stifling everything. For every new rule a bureaucrat introduces, an old rule should be retired.\n\nHOUSING: It's the Liberal Government policy to pander to immigrant voters that has put us down the wrong path. I'm amazed that so few people in, say, Vancouver who complain about the astronomical cost of rent and mortgages realize that their problem is directly caused by our WEAK policy of permitting new immigrants to move to Vancouver & Toronto , instead of the 1,000 other towns where they're desperately needed. How stupid are we, to not even understand the policy issue? \n\nMeanwhile, I actually lost my apartment block in Winnipeg because the market value dropped below the mortgage balance and the bureaucracy was killing me with their conflicting rulings. So, why did my block drop in market value? Because people were leaving Winnipeg, and Manitoba. EVERYONE went to Vancouver or Toronto. Thanks for nothing, stupid politicians.. the opposition isn't doing their job when Canadians don't know anything about this.

Canada sucks, it's cold and people are stupid.
