Trump's America has sided with Putin. Can the rest of us secede now? We don't have four years. They will come for our weapons this year.

As if bashing Russia gonna make deals go thru. Trump like Clinton choose not that route. And Putin respect and didn’t break agreements. But he broke on bush Obama and Biden . So it’s proven their ways not work. So why not try something different with the approach.

And that anti-Americanism will continue and get worse and worse because of Trump! In a very short time, Trump's ONLY friend will be Putin!

Russian asset trump is doing putin’s bidding.

Kgb putin's plan in full affect. Seduced trump yrs back when he had money troubles, push misinfo, racial propaganda on talk radio/social media creating maga & propped up trump to dismantle USA/Europe.

United we stand divided we fall! trump on putin team! This could be all temporary if we do this right!

There's no truth that putin is playing trump , trump knows what he is doing?

Stunning? REALLY? Orange Julius has been threatening this for months, and how dare anyone pretend that regardless of how IDIOTIC the move, he wouldn't proceed anyway. Everyone and their DOG sees that Putin OWNS Trump. And, as usual, we suffer the consequences.

Trump is not being played by Putin. Trump is a russian agent used by Putin to destroy the West. USA people cannot believe this, but thats the truth.

As a powerless American, I hope other countries will help curve Trump's madness/power kick. \n\nIt's embarrassing. He's destroying our economy, causing mass job loss, and just being played like a monkey by Musk, the Republican Party, and Putin. \n\nSeriously....I get his followers are either selfish rich people or ignorant barely passed highschool racists, but stupid/selfish is an excuse that only goes so far.

This is the very beginning of the United States fall. this seems like Tyler Perry TV show the oval. Trump is trying to enslave the American people by disassociating other countries so the American people won’t have anywhere to run. He’s trying to be like Putin a dictator. Trump has to go. He’s not a smart businessman. He’s not for the American people.?????

America this is what you get when you vote to let the devil take over! Trump is doing this for himself and Putin, not Americans

it's clear that Trump agenda is dictated by Putin. there should be room to impeach Trump for high treason!

Please accept my apology. Not all America supports Trump and his efforts to smear our image which has always stood up for Democracy. Trump is so wrong for leadership of the Free World. God bless Canada which is courageous to stand up agains’t Trump and Putin when American seem to be totally confused about where their loyalty should remain.

I’m sure that mr Putin and mr Xi had never dreamed what mr trump is doing in these few days. He is throwing away 80 years of soft power and is unrolling a wonderful red carpet for China ambitions. Please wake up me, i’m sure this is a nightmare.

Truth be told ..Trump wants to be like Putin \n\nHe's kissing Putin's ass The only reason why he brought zelinsky to white house was to behave like a high schooler bullying with all his coonin minions \n He's made a mockery out of the presidency of America He's an ass licker for Putin and a buffoon.

In the line of the White House Madness, I expect that Trump now will raise the tariffs again with 25%.....For him the World is the enemy. No matter of they are allies or foe's... Connecting with Putin? That will not last, watch and see...

TRUMP DOES WHAT PUTIN WANTS.

I was born and raised in the U.S., the grandson of Canadian immigrants. I stand with Canada and wholeheartedly support them. Trump is a Russian asset working with Putin to sabotage western economies. He needs to be stopped, along with all his Nazi cronies.

Nothing Trump does makes sense until you accept the reality that Trump serves only at the pleasure of Vladimir Putin. Nothing about trade wars and tariffs makes sense. Nothing about pulling out of NATO makes sense. Nothing about threats of invading our allies makes sense. Nothing about gutting our Federal government makes sense. Nothing about giving Elon Musk every American's personal information makes sense. Nothing about sharing intelligence and giving Russia access to sensitive national security material makes sense. Only when you consider what benefits Vladimir Putin does Donald Trump and MAGA make sense. JD Vance is now threatening Ukraine, demanding payback for American aid. There are no longer any checks and balances. We've been betrayed.

Trump won’t learn until Putin betrays him and fires a missile at us

Trump and his Buddy Putin are 2 of a kind. They are downright Vicious! \nInhumane Greed! They will hurt all people! They will meet their Maker and will suffer the consequence of their own actions. They are Completely responsible for the suffering caused to Many many innocent people. Including Americans. They have no Soul! Pure Evil!

Trump is aligned with Putin. He's an enemy of the American people, an enemy of Western democracy, and an enemy of humanity as a whole.

Come on. Stop blaming everything on Putin. Trump is just dump and crazy all on his own.

Don't forget, Trump is Putins friend for long. He follows Putins advice.

Putin is using trump to destroy america and the bond with it's allys

But if POTUS is actually a covert enemy to the U.S. then he will continue doing what opposes the country's interests, surely? Like, I'm not convinced Trump isn't following orders from Russia. Putin and his allies have never been happier, that's all I'm saying.

I've no doubt that Trump has already agreed with Putin to import energy products from Russia, even though Congress passed a bill in 2022 to ban the imports, he just needs an excuse to get the ban lifted.

Yall, they ain’t trumps friends, how do you still not get this???? Trump is allied with Putin, Trump is friends with Putin.

À nos frères Canadiens : French here, let's unite Canada, Europe, Mexico, and the democratic countries attacked or threatened by Trump and Putin, commercialy or military, and build a new partnership in key domains as commerce, defense, science, ecology research and culture, without the USA. This can lead to a new positive force around the globe. Vive le Canada ❤??

Trump wants to cripple Canada economically so that his billionare buddies can buy us up for pennies on the dollar. He's working with Putin to divide up the world and take the spoils by force.

Is Trump’s performance in the Oval Office really what the GOP equates to strength? Kicking our ally while they’re down, who’s been fighting one of our supposedly greatest adversaries who invaded their country? Berating him for not wearing a suit, or not being grateful enough, or being too hateful to the man who invaded his country and kidnapped Ukraine’s children? If this is strength, why doesn’t he treat Putin this way? It’s only weaker allies where he pounds his chest. Bully. Coward.

Trump killed All Americans freedoms today Trump has alined himself with Putin Stand up all Americans don't give a fist pump to Trump as he hands us all to Putin and Elon regeim Soviet rule If you have travel plans Americans are not welcome around the world Pay attention

As an American who was born here and live here for over 50 years, I am so ashamed of this government, the republican politicians and some of the democratic politicians. The MAGA cult is overwhelming our everyday lives in combination with Trump, Vance and Musk vast amounts of lies, deceit, disrespect for the low-middle class American families, cozying up to the fascist dictator Putin, turning your back on our best ally Canada by instigating these ridiculous tariffs, and a whole host of other atrocities that have occurred in the past few weeks. Let this sink in... in the past few weeks! What is it going to be like in a few months or by the end of this term? With the way it's going, we're going to be damned lucky that we're going to be here at all, otherwise Trump and Putin can rule over a nuclear decimated scorched earth. Americans that are already sick, tired and completely fed up with all of the grandiose shit-storm actions coming out of the White House, please do what you absolutely can to shout from the rooftops, we will not concede, we will not bow down and kiss the ring, we will not be bullied and we will not stand idly by and watch a narcissistic, misogynistic, blow-hard dictator-loving(Putin), felonious bully and all his butt-munching fuck-tard cronies burn this country to the ground. RESISTANCE!

Do the simple math who is trump siding with Putin so all Americans need to brush up on your Russian

Trumputin is a useful Idiot to Putin. Could it be possible that Trump is a Spy for Russia? I'm just wondering. After all Trumputin went to Russia allot when he was just a Regular guy. What do you think?

Guess how much tariff Trump will ever put on Putin Russia...Zero 0% ?

If trump will take putin side would you still give him minerals? World already trust America to lead most of military…

Trump pissed of Canada, they are like the Labradoodles of allies - who hates a Labradoodle? Oh yeah, putin's baby boy....

All free world leaders know that that Trump is an Orange Dimwit and Putins puppet. Hopefully, the MAGA cult wakes up and sees what they voted for and the harm that blob of stupidity is doing.

Well done very proud of you. Trump is DUMB Putin very happy. stuipd sorry my friends

Trump is a disgusting excuse for a human being (Putin too)

The Mystery of what it’s all about was revealed the first week of the trump government!.. he wants Canada and Greenland as states. So he’s trying to weaken Canada and Europe from defending those territories.\nHis left hand is distracting u with tariffs and Putin, his right hand is advertising to ‘liberate’ Canada and Greenland!\nTrump has nothing to lose, he is literally beyond the average life expectancy of an American right now. He is trying to go for his vision of bigger empires

Why do you just not get it? Everything Trump does is for the benefit of Putin. Trump is a Russian Asset! Clear and simple. The americans have voted for a president who is working for Putin. DOH!!

This is not about tariffs. It is about Trump unravelling all of America's relationships with its allies, to make the country weaker, in the service of Putin. Canada is just the first. But Europe will be next. Then America stands alone, too weak to be a world leader.

Trump has an agenda, and it is to destroy America and the American people. Trump and Putin are in this together. Congress stop sitting on your hands and do the job you were voted to do, remove trump from power!

Trump is putin's puppet

Trump is compromised and run by Putin. Putin is Trumps handler, aidrd and abetted by Musk. If things remain thecway tgey are America will not be great again for a very long time.
