Canada and Canadians you're the luckiest bunch on the face of this earth. If trump didn't mess things up this early you might have elected maple maga and bonjour disaster. This trump blunder was a blessing in disguise. Never ever play with your cherished liberties and democracy by giving control of it to fascist leaning political party. Go Canada❤

Trump has placed himself in a corner. He's completely incompetent. Because he is a bully and thinks people will roll over, he is going to look weak when he has to roll them back. When Canada cuts off the water, car parts, etc. and people start losing jobs such as car manufacturing, there will be a price to pay. It won't be an end to MAGA, but if he lets this go on for too long, he will never come back from it.

Aloha Prime Minister, Trudeau, and Canadiens, the majority in this country can’t stand the current administration in our embarrassed, concerned, and want him out along with every MAGA moron selling this country out! I am so angry and disgusted! I apologize for our horrific leadership and I hope one day the people who are responsible for what is happening will be charged with sedition and espionage! I’ve had it. I stand with Ukraine Canada and the same citizens of this country who despise everything this current administration has done since they took office! You people who believe that Trump is this wonderful person and he’s doing wonderful things for America read a fucking history book!

Trudeau will leave office at least on a positive note in the way he responded to Trump and the moron MAGA mob. Americans will suffer and Canadians will enjoy witnessing the chaos.

trump is just a COMPLETE idiot .... we want CANADA as an ALLY !!! they love us & all you MAGA supporters DID THIS ! ?‍?

Looks like America will have more Anti American sentiments not just from the Middle East. watch out America, Trump is working for Putin and he will tear your country apart. MAGA supporters don’t have that level of intelligence to comprehend what’s about to happen.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed lower for the fourth session in a row. All three major US stock indexes are in the red since President Donald Trump took office on January 20; the Nasdaq is down more than 1% since the start of 2025.\n\nIdiot MAGA imbeciles...and Trumps kids shorted atocks on daddys recommendation and they raked in over $200,000,000

These tariffs are not about policy differences. They appear to be personal. Trump is settling scores. Many Trump voters believe that Mexico, Canada, Russia, China, Ukraine, and even the EU interfered in the US presidential and congressional elections in 2020, 2022, and in 2024 to help the Democrats strip us Americans of our rights and lock Republicans out of power permanently. It doesn't matter if its actually true or not. It's the perception that matters most and that has the bigger consequence. MAGA and President Trump are responding to the appearance of foreign interference in our elections. That's why he's preparing the shut down the DACA program too because we believe the DACA recipients sought to influence the last 4 elections and MAGA wants to punish all of them for that.

Where are all the MAGA supporters??? This thread is too reasonable and level-headed. Well, I guess they are losing steam. Trump is a bully and an embarrassment on the world stage as far as this US citizen is concerned. Where is Elon Mush? I used to have some respect for Elon, but jumping in bed with Trump is a mistake Mush will come to regret. I guess I need to protect my retirement investment portfolio - I think Trump will decimate it by destabilizing the stock market's confidence like this. sigh...

Fascist psychopath , convicted multiple criminal , convicted rapist , insurrectionist MAGA Trump is a totally ? dangerous traitor to the rest of the democratic world ?. \nhttps://youtu.be/ShVZ0QUegGg?si=SA2RyDiK-vX0ub5M

President Trudeau, thank you for speaking directly to us. There are many Americans who disagree with him and his administration. We are doing our parts here. \n\nPresident Trump and his MAGA Republicans who sold their souls to aligned with a dictator. \n\nAs for the MAGA supporters, gee thanks.

Half of America voted for this and they deserve this stupidity. It's not ignorance. It's stupidity. I've disassociated with these people.\nAnd I shrug my shoulders as they whine. I'd ask Canada to just stop buying here. tRump will just give this money to Billionaires and MAGA-gop. Lower case, intended.

Unfortunate! Trump\nIs not my government not my president! Please know that we are more upset and angry than everyone else! Every 70 million democratic voters are crying out and saying Trump will destroy everything, and it’s already happening! The only thing we can say is: “we told you so MAGA believers”

Maybe Canada can bring down Trump and Elon Musk because Americans are not able and maga fraction of the Republican party don't have any spine.

POTUS Trump is making irreparable blunders on key geopolitical issues like Ukraine, Gaza, trade wars with friendly trading nations. He is systematically destroying the 80 years old US foreign policy and global standing as a democracy that was instrumental for building trust and confidence on USA at the global stage.\n\nTragically, under the so called MAGA mantra he will destroy not only US economy but also of the global economy with his scandalous and outrageous protectionist trade policies and geopolitical blunders.

MAGA Trump fascist administration and his fascist billionaire oligarchs are traitors to the rest of the Westin democratic world ? ????????

I support Trump and I support MAGA. However a president needs to keep his word and Trump appears to have broken his word here. He asked Canada to reign in illegal immigration to the US and Canada complied. He said do something about fetanyl and Canada did. Trump said the tariff's were because Canada was not acting on these but now they have and we imposed the tariff's anyway. We look like liars and cheats. \nEven with Mexico we threatened tariffs if they didn't help with crackdown on illegal immigration, fetanyl, and drug cartels. Mexico complied and is also helping us. And we still slapped tariffs on them. We lied to Mexico too. \nAnd now we want everyone to trust us to negotiate a peaceful end to the Ukraine war with Trump threatening more sanctions on China and the EU. What the heck should they trust us and believe us after what we just did. \nWhen it comes to defining your character your willingness to keep your word overrules absolutely everything else. Our president gave his word that if these countries took certain actions there would be no tariffs. They did and now he slapped them both in the face with sanctions anyway. He broke his word. This is a dishonorable action. I hope it does not escalate from there. \nIf it was about promoting or building domestic industries, I think the Canadians could have helped us with that but now.... good luck now that bridge has been burned.

As an American I don't want this to happen to my neighbor nor did I condone it. Trump is the reason with the help of Oligarchs and Maga Republicans. I am not okay with this and I will fight with my Country men and my Allies. Canada is our Ally, wake up America and fight!

MAGA nuts don’t care what Trump does , long as it helps their selfish interests. Most Americans love Our neighbors . Trump and Vance are not friendly people , they are basically Adolf and Himmler reincarnation from another time. A time of great racial hate and greed. All MAGA wants is cheap energy , food , and get rid of anybody not like themselves ……Trump encourages these low brow people promising to eliminate anybody who doesn’t agree with his base of voting power. Trump,fancies himself a King and wants the world to bow down to his policies. He is one of the, we are many , let’s not let Trump copy Putin s Russia.nightmare.

We should all of us around the world , Canada Mexico Eu China ect boycott all together USA at once Till the Tangerine Tyran felt humiliated as Zelinsky was On that day , and please You MAGA fashists keep Your red stupid caps when you cross your border , We will treat you as you deserve as Trump treat the rest of the World , And for the others Artists , Humanists numerous good Americans come to EU or Canada whe have free healtcare that works way better that in Us , good food , culture and cool unarmed peaple to hang with . Your welcome and we know how terrible is fashisme America Rebel You !!!

Trump will have to give in or back peddle on tariffs. He's too dumb to figure what tariffs will do to the American people but was probably talked into this by other MAGA politicians as they are pretty damn ignorant.

Trump and the Republican Admin and Maga did this its not the majority of the Americans .Harris would never have done this ?

Trump is to make the rest nation of the western world on their own and away from US. Make All Go Away. MAGA.

This is embarrassing. Trump is ruining America and our democracy. Can't wait to start paying more for everything, thanks MAGA!! F***ing idiots.

Make 50percent tariffs for canada President trump 4 this kind of leaders,Maga?????

Thank you you Trump, Elon and MAGAS

Maximilian law fit factless criminal cry baby man clown trump like a glove. Voodoo poodo maga right wing exteme terrorism group now.

I thought the reason for tarriffs that trump gave was to damage other countries financially? Trump doesn’t give an asses behind about people he’s all about power. Thanks maga when we’re all obliterated because the idiot can’t remember which is the correct one it will be too late to say we told you so!

Trump supports won't watch or listen to this, people who hate Trump already know this.. this great speech is going to fall on deaf ears of the Maga Americans.\nCant Americans see Trump is literally making America shit cause he's a comprised Russian agent.

Trump is for the great reset. They want everyone out of power except for white males. He wants corruption and crime to be associated with the Russian KGB. Hello maga crypto crime. If he’s not impeached fast, we’re not accused of manipulating the world economy, the rest of the world that is for social equality will not make it through.

Its not america. Its trump and maga

Trump is a loser clown. The maga party will collaspe and it will be glorious

Things are getting out of hand. In just over a month the world has gone from being in an uncertain place with multiple wars etc into a very grave and dangerous place. And we all have MAGA and Putin to thank for this. Trump and Putin are in collusion. They want the same things. Putin wants control or not only Ukraine but Europe and Trump wants control of the America’s and Greenland , this is what is happening and we need to wake up before the world as we know it is no more?

European here. Economist, French and Hungarian diploma, and an postgrad deg in Int Relations fro Switzreland. I worked 3 years for Canada, Fed Gov. They are rational, honest people. What you USA are doing to your allies is incredibly low. Hence, the credibility is gone for this WH, and will be though job for the next to undo some of the damage. By that time, we Europe will be closer to Canada, much closer, and maybe - not desirable-. much closer to China. No, with russia -not. Until that genocdial regime your guy is in love with is zeroed. At any cost for russia. trump allies with our no1 enemy. Get the f..k rid of him and all his people asap in the interest of you all, except him and the core MAGA sect. We see whats happening there and its no joke.

Trump is a genius....no free lunch for Canada !!.....MAGA

This is great!!! Canada 20 vs US 80. Trump is not shakin even one little bit!! It’s a golden age for the US for sure!!! MAGA!! ??????????

THE BEST PRESIDENT EVER MAGA TRUMP against deep state with one world agenda..battle of good vs evil.. truth will prevail??

Dear Canadian friends...I am a young widow raising six sons. I hate Trump, Vance, and Elon, plus many more MAGA freaks. I have always been so proud of our common boarder...the biggest in the world. I am shitting in my pants. We love you guys, please believe me. ❤❤

When is Trump going to say that he'll support Americans during the trade war he started?? No, he says he's going to bring us pain so that billionaires can get $4.5 T in tax breaks. Why MAGAs? What could possibly justify voting for that guy?

Fuck Trump and his bootlickers. Standing with the American people who aren't MAGA morons and standing with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine.

Trump will not stop at this! He already said that he wanted to replace IRS with ERS (External Revenue Service). Trump wants to replace Income Tax with Tarrifs !!\nYes! MAGA will laugh and say No More Tax for all Americans!\nThey don't know that America raised a total income tax of 3 Trillion Dollars annually. But America also spend 3 Trillion dollars on imports! So to replace Income Tax with Tariffs, America needs to apply 100% tariffs on ALL Imports from All countries around the world!\nSo prices on imported goods will be at least double in America! That will make people buy less. Imports will drop! So even with 100% blanket tariffs it will not raise 3 Trillion dollars for Trump!\nWhat's more? As America tries to make more things in America to avoid tariffs, tariffs will dry up and where does Trump get 3 Trillion dollars? ?

Wait until Trump sends his troops into Canada. MAGA , musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Putin, and North Korea are right behind him. You used to be a democracy like America was. America was once known as the United States of America. MAGA has forced the world to call that former great country Shitland.

Trump is an agent under Putin influence, he's undermining the US to destroy our economic might, everything is done deliberately,and the dumb Maga movement is behind it all project 2025

Canada should do everything in its power to reduce its dependence on the USA for trade and security to protect itself from a Trump administration gone crazy. There is a chance that the current policies of the Trump administration will be carried forward by future Republican presidents given how the party is now dominated by MAGA people. We all need to consider the possibility that the USA will not be going back to normal anytime soon.

We the people of America do NOT agree with the actions of the Trump Administration! MAGA conservatism is A CANCER of our society!

CNN is just another fake, corrupt, fraud, propaganda machine. FOX News is the best! We Love you Trump! GO MAGA!! ✊️ ??

Why do Europeans and Canadians citizens do not feel the same level of urge \nto take illegal drugs ? \nTheir is something specially wrong with America's society \nA problem that Trump and MAGA have no idea why \nAnd quite frankly \nDon’t really care

Trump is a joke get him and his golf club out of Ireland . Trump supporters are completely delusional . So sorry for the americans with half a brain ..........Trump is as mad as putin wake up maga idiots ........
