It is sad but this is exactly what Trump is wanting. He is creating chaos and attacking our friends so he can create an emergency and declare martial law. In effect Trump is becoming a dictator who aligns with Russia and will be Putin's puppet. Great speech from PM Trudeau. I support Canada and all actions they take against Trump, regardless of how that will hurt us. This is ALL Trump's fault.

President Trudeau proving he is a good leader & will not capitulate to Trump or Putin the Butcher !

Make that make sense? ok, here it is.—-Trump is the most evil villain the world has ever known.-In exchange for helping Trump win both elections-Putin was handed classified documents providing Russia with the technology to determine the precise location of each deployed U.S. Navy submarine that's armed with ballistic missiles.-\nBecause of this transaction ALONE the country has no other option but to cease being the United States of America and fulfill it's role as Russia's latest conquest.\nThis is the result of allowing extreme racism to reign and placing an eminently compromised degenerate in the highest office.

Putin has never been happier in his entire life. He OWNS trump. The USA is pathetic for putting comrade trump back in power. Reap what you sow MAGATs, I hope you all lose your jobs and your companies go under. All SANE Americans stand with Canada!!!!!

Well trump is a criminal rapist and a lier wtf do you think he was goint to work with with putin another criminal

Is Trump really being played by Putin, or are they in cahoots?

Putin Russia warned as far back as 2009 or earlier Ukraine not join NATO to aim missiles on the Russia border, did it not? Zelenskyy is a puppet comedian fake leader selected by European globalists to do their bidding. Before the war the ppl of Ukraine are weary and tired of Ukraine government neo nazi ideology, terrible policies, their wealthy oligarchs and blatant corruption. US finally did admit Ukraine had toxic biolabs before mainstream and their political analysts denounce it vigoriously. Too late now, Ukraine will continue to lose the war with Zelenskyy as president. President Trump is in the WH. So what integrity some ppl claim our country had and lost... like in the last four years with a weak corrupt party president? Trudeau is goin out hopefully not soon enough. Lol.

Putin's plan is coming along nicely. Well done Trump. Well done MAGA. This is the real insurrection.

Why don’t people just say it! Trump want to eliminate the Constitution he wants to make us a communist country, he wants to be the supreme ruler, he wants to be the 2nd PUTIN!!

Of course, the legacy corporate media is all about filling as much time as possible distracting/diverting from the crux of the matter, the underlying major F__KING PROBLEM—trump destroying the economy and security ON PURPOSE under the direction of PUTIN. But hey, let’s focus on how dumb his actions are, not WHY.

Why don’t people just say it! Trump want to eliminate the Constitution he wants to make us a communist country, he wants to be the supreme ruler, he wants to be the 2nd PUTIN!!

Please know that this is TRUMP’S war. He cheated to get into office with the help of putin and his weasels!\nPlease stop this crazy man!!!

The voters of Trump, have decided they would prefer a nation run by two dictators Putin and Trump. Make no doubt about it. They will crush this nation and steal all the treasury money and use it for their own personal gain. And at the same time, distroy all the citizens lives, including the voters of Trump, in the meantime.

I agree with Trudeau. Trump's tariffs have NOTHING to do with fentanyl and migrants! They are all about how Trump, Putin, and Musk are attempting to literally....CONTROL THE WORLD!

Trump and Putin are the real devils and all their demons, they are all for greed

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.

What Trump wants is Putin. He is only making excuses to take Canada and Mexico out and he only wants Putin.

Uh, it's no WE... no, he, Trump, is in bed with Putin. Thanks, T, for the warning. We are at the mercy, unfortunately, of these dictators!!?

To please master Putin, Trump and JD Vance are coercing Zelensky to give away Ukraine’s minerals and territorial sovereignty without security guarantees that Russia will not invade the rest of Ukraine.

Trump is nothing but a cowardly puppet of Putin

Im so ashamed right now of the USA. The country i was born and live in. everyone who voted for this should have done your due diligence. You can help us get out of this or you can help Putin and Trump turn us into a country that is devoid of all the freedoms we have known throughout our entire lives

This why we need to learn history...Frank D Roosevelt created a Monster, Stalin and Trump is trying to do the same siding with Putin.

How can the msm and their guests say they don't understand why he's doing this? If you look at every thing Trump does thru the lense of pleasing Putin and putting Rudssia and China's agenda first, it all makes sense. It's time to start calling this what it is. A traitorous president is selling out his own country and countrymen. He needs to he stopped bamn before its too late. This is not Amerixa first, it's America last.

Trump is a putin ´s puppet, a traitor

A Scot here. Canada is our great friend. I am sure that all reasonable people around the free world support Canada in this insane trade war. Trump is Putin and Putin is trump.

If you think that trump is a putin’s puppet things start to make sense

Trump is being played by Putin, yes, but his fragile ego will never let him realize it.

I think we might be making a mistake by saying that Trump is being played by Putin. I am beginning to believe more so that he is an agent of Russia with a sense of agency and the people being played are the people choosing to work for him.

Zelensky was willing to pay Trump $500 billion dollars (or 50%) out of Ukraine’s minerals. And was willing to allow Russia to occupy 20% of Ukraine’s territory. Trump and JD Vance are chastising Zelensky when all Zelensky wants in exchange of the mineral and territorial deal is a security guarantee that Putin will stop invading the rest of Ukraine.

Not one person on the planet except Putin can trust Trump.

Trump is being played by Putin.

I agree Trump is being played by Putin!

Trump is a mentally ill psychopath just like 'putin', Canada is a strong and free country for ever. I feel sorry for americans that voted this uneducated low life goon to the white house.

This was never about fentanyl. Trump only flexes his muscles with friends, not adversaries. Putin did not have to hire him, he volunteered to be Putin's puppet.

What is this about, Trump wants a 3rd and 4th term ,he wants to be in power as long as he is alive (a dictator ) he wants what Putin got, thats why they are mates.....

This idiotic game by the Trump-Vance gang only makes sense if they are in fact (hidden behind the pseudo-nationalist MAGA nonsense) working for Putin. And if they want to destroy our Western democracies, also in the interests of Putin. And China is the laughing third party.

Anyone with any intelligence, in the intelligence community, knows Russian asset behavior when they see it. It is quite obvious that the President of the United States is compromised and working directly for the Russians now. I believe Putin has very damning video and audio of terrible sins that Trump committed while in Russia for the 2013 Miss Universe Pageant. His so-called friends, the Alagarovs set him up, but Putin and the FSB were behind the entire operation, to be sure. There is no evil or traitorous action Trump will not take to save his own ass. Guaranteed.

Everyone can anticipate dumb Trump’s response - really no need to give him air time to say it. He’s a traitor to his country, its people, to his countries allies. It would be dumb to continue to cover Trump as if he is worth covering. He is no longer the leader of the free world and he is no longer the most powerful leader in the world. He has ceded that to Putin to whom he bends his knee when kissing his ass.

Americans, wake up! Trump is doing Putin bidding and he isolating usa from your allies…

I am A Vietnam Veteran , Jan-Dec 1967 , and am A True Blue American Patriot who loves America with Every Ounce Of My Being !!!!! That being said , what Donald Trump and his Traitorous Conspirators are doing to Our Neighbors , Both Canada and Mexico , is A Travesty Beyond anything An American President has EVER DONE in Our History !!!! My belief is that Trump is A Russian Asset who is doing everything he can to Tear Apart Our American Democracy , to give Vladimir Putin An Open Door to America !!!! Trump is A TRAITOR TO AMERICA , MAKE NO MISTAKE !!!! Prepare yourselves for America`s 2nd Civil War !!! IT IS COMING !!!!! You can laugh all you want , but you won`t be laughing when you begin to hear Gunshots ringing out in Your Neighborhood !!! The ONLY THING that will convince Trump he made A HUGE MISTAKE is Americans armed to The Teeth standing outside of The White House , ready to rip him out of it by force !!!! He has Underestimated Americans Resolve !!!! REAL AMERICANS `` WILL NOT STAND BY `` while he systematically Shreds our Democracy , and Names Himself THE KING OF AMERICA !!!! ITS TIME FOR WAR AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How come still nobody knows what Putin has on Trump? What was this secretive meeting in Helsinki years ago about? What was discussed there? Trump being Trump, who lies and who is weak of charactre and as bribeable and corrupt as they come. Can't put a normal sentence together. Picture that big toddler in a room with Putin and Putin alone.. Nobody knows what was discussed there. Now they have a president picking fights with his allies. He is fumbling at the very basis which NATO, Europe and US stands for, stood for.\nAt this point Trump basically is putting USA into isolation. Putin and Xi couldn't be more happy.

Good for Canada. Trump is with Russia and Putin's puppet. Take care of your people.

Putin probably told Trump he couldn't be alias with Canada anymore and gave him a spanking

Keep telling yourself and believing that Trump isn't in Putin's pocket. It's so crystal clear when you stop thinking like a cult member.

the only thing that makes sense is trumps taking orders from putin . time to drag the traitor out of the Whitehouse NOW !

Trump's destroying relations with an ally? Well Putin is certainly laughing about it.

Does Trump have a deal with Putin, that if he sells out to Ukraine, and ends the huge costs to Russia of waging the war, Trump gets quid pro quo in new resorts set up under Trump in Russia with umpteen billions going back to Trump as under the table kick-backs? These are the sort of deals you would expect from a man convicted of so many felonies... What other explanation could there be for Trump selling us all out to one of our most dangerous enemies...? The dictionary definition of treason...!

So, has the USA under Trump turned into a Russian asset.?\nSeriously, the rest of the civilised world especially us in the UK are looking in open-mouthed astonishment at the behaviour of the nominal leader of the free world.\nAmerica is morphing into a broken and divided society, but in the meantime, you're scaring everyone else guys, including your historical allies, because Trump is untrustworthy, he's coming across like a gangster who sees everything as a opportunity for self-enrichment.\nTrump is looking like Putin's Poodle.\nPutin really has got him on a lead, definitely his bitch..!!! \nSupport here from your Commonwealth brothers and sisters in the UK

No putin is not playing Trump.\nTrump is willingly giving his country to a communist raised ex KGB officer. \nRepublicans presidents 40 years ago would have probably silenced Trump. But nowadays republicans are now weak men.

We the people I am so sick of hearing Trump name everyday and I mean everyday. And we know that we should not be friends with a war criminal. We were taught all our lives that no not is above the law. The FBI and the CIA got our back. The military and the police or the best in the world. And no one is above the law. And even though we were not prefect we was taken maybe baby steps but they were steps. Now we have one party who has soul out to Russia. How do you feel about being friends with Putin.? And now the MAGA party does not want to talk to We the people at town meetings. And I believe everything that Trudeau and the Mexico President over anyone and I mean anyone in the MAGA fascist party.
