Remember when republicans hated commies? And now they’re getting on the Putin train, all because Trump said so

The republican leadership and republican voters asked for this, and now everyone will suffer from their stupidity .

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.

This makes me so sad. The Canadians are our friends. It boggles my mind that Republicans think he is their savior. How ignorant

Not our government just one asshole and a bunch of cowards in the Republican Party!

Many Americans still consider Canadian our friendly neighbor. Many of us did not vote for that demented psycho conman felon. Do what needs to be done including turning off the power at the White House. We can only wait it out until our next election for senators and congress. MANY republicans are already furious and will vote blue.

AMERICAN HERE , I AM A DIEHARD REPUBLICAN BUT I DIDN'T VOTE FOR THE AMERICAN PSYCHO NAMED TRUMP , GO CANADA GO

The republican party use to by a symbol of strength military wise, under Trump the majority have became wimps with zero backbone alienating our allies and siding with dictators.

You're far too articulate and intelligent for 30-35% of Americans. Republican party started attacking our educational system in Reagan's administration (bc they don't want educated voters - who don't fall for the misinformation and FUD the R's use to get votes).

Congratulations, Republicans. You've put a russian mole in the white house!! Very patriotic of you.

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.

Republicans suck.

Please know that tRump does not represent the majority of true patriotic Americans. Not all Republicans are tRump cultists. We value our allies and we understand you standing up to a bully!

I was a republican. I voted for DT, but regret it. He's right, this is a dumb thing to do. If we alienate our allies, we won't have any when we need them.

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!

We (most of the American people) don't want this, either! I call and write to my two Senators and my Congresswoman at least four times a week. I support Canada's reaction to our ridiculous President's actions. I don't think all the Republican leadership supports this, but they are weak and scared of Trump.

BLOCK ALL REGISTERED REPUBLICANS FROM ENTERING CANADA!!!!! MAKE MAGA EAT WHAT THEY VOTED FOR!!!!\n\nDEMS COME IN PEACE AND SUPPORT CANADA!!!!

CNN has a great way of trying to turn things against the Republicans it’s Canada that has benefited the very most from our US Canadian relationship Canada is very strict immigration laws which is good. What is bad is they allow people from other countries outside US and Canada to fly in and go through the border into United States. from my understanding, and for the most part, probably because I hardly ever listen to CNN news is most Canadians lost trust in their Prime Minister

We support our allies. Everyone, except possibly some Republicans, know Trump and Vance work for Putin, not the people. The rest of the Republicans in government, unfortunately, don’t care.

Thank you, Mr. Trudeau, for exposing Trump for who he and the Republican Party are - greedy traitors!

Not everyone is behind the rancid orange goblin, just the Republicans who kiss his rear.

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

There was no reason for these tariffs against Canada. Our closest neighbor and ally. Unreal! Trump is doing exactly what he has been instructed to do, to divide the USA. Both nationally and globally. Putin must be patting himself on the back for a job well done. Disgusting Republicans.

My hat goes off to you sir! Thank you for your clarity on this matter. Unfortunately we have a maniac for our commander and chief, who has the Republicans to back all of his idiotic plans. I can only say may God bless us all through the next (4) years of his destruction! I have a strong feeling that the worst is yet to come... Stay strong Canada

I still don't understand why trumps not behind bars for treason!!! Can only be one reason! The money!!! All Republicans are just too weak!!!

Well said. I will never understand how Trump and the entire Republican Party turned against our country and our allies, and aligned themselves with a murderous Russian dictator. I don’t know how anyone could grow up in the United States of America and so completely turn their backs on the Constitution, and the laws and values we stand for. I am confused. I am scared. I am angry. But mostly, I am ashamed to be living in Trump’s America.

Where are the Republican congressmen and senators? The world is protesting against Trump, but we hear nothing from these spineless wimps. And where are the US administrators . They are gutless, scare de cat wimps…are missing, these sycophants also are ruining everything too. No wonder the US is falling apart. And look at the abandonment by Trump of Ukraine. I hope the very best historians are recording the shocking mayhem all of Trump’s making

Republican voters are getting exactly what they voted for.

Love you President Trudeau. I wish you were not leaving. Canada and the rest of the world need people like you to overcome the destruction of America. We in New Zealand need people just like you to stand up to Trump and his criminal republicans. Please re-think about leaving.

Both alcoholism and drug abuse was up under the trump administration during the pandemic. The fentanyl epidemic is due to buyers using fentanyl not to gangs selling fentanyl. You could have all the fentanyl in the world but if you don't have any buyers you won't make any sales. Second Amendment trump and the gang of Republicans.

GLOBAL ECONOMIC MILITARY AND POLITICAL FUTURE RESTS IN THE HANDS OF 3 REPUBLICANS. 3 MUST ABANDON TRUMP. TAKE AMERICA BACK.

I did not vote for this Republican led government. I voted Democrat. What is happening is frightening. It is madness! I do not support the alignment of our government with dictators and oligarchs. I am alarmed by the harm and disrespect directed to our allies that is happening. Like many others, I am afraid for our country and yours.

Trudeau is an example of someone who is willing to say the truth about this U.S. renegade executive office passing policies that hurt both Canadian and U.S. economy. \n Republicans who are spineless are not willing to do this. Thank you, Trudeau

IMPEACH TRUMP NOW: 3 PATRIOTIC REPUBLICANS MUST JOIN DEMOCRATS TO IMPEACH TRUMP NOW.

Nearly half of the foolish American voters installed this verified criminal as a pretend president once again, knowing damn well the chaos this imbecile caused four years ago. But not all the blame goes to them, the Demo-rat politicians, with their shallow 2024 candidates along with zero support for struggling American Working Class help cause Trump. The corporate elites own the Democrats and the oligarchs control the Republicans. This is the sad state of affairs in 2024 in the United States.

For those who have been tuning into what the president has been saying at the White House for weeks and weeks, don’t need anymore explanation. They have been extremely transparent as to why. CNN, you are a catalyst for new republican voters because of your bullshit reporting. I have always been independent, leaned more leftward. Thanks to you guys, I’ve been leaning more to the right. And I am not the only one. Look at this last election. Shameful.

Always keep in mind it is the Republicans that did this, not the Democrats

Get em out. Get the Republicans out of office. They’re all traitors to the USA.

It bad his impeachments do nothing. Our system is corrupt. The republicans are poppets to a dictator.

As an American that did not nor never would vote for trump....there is no making sense out of his idiocy. He has made us less safe in the world, he has humiliated America. I cannot believe this is happening in my country, I'm so sad and sorry for the chaos he and the Republicans are causing.

It’s simple there’s the republicans and then there is the gay community

This Old-Senile-Demented-47-criminal wants to start World War 3. Oh yes 47 is a jerk idiot, that’s why I’m supporting Canada. ???.Trudea wants to save life,but this American Con-artist wants to destroy life to keep his money ( read what the holy scripture said about the love of money ) money and power. I hope you Americans are happy. If you want soldiers to go and kill other mother’s children for this despicable criminal, not my friends, families or fellow Christian. If y’all want slaves , you voted for this criminal, so you go slave for him (47). I’m already mourning for those innocent who will get killed. Read : 1 Timothy 6:10 and Matthew 26:14,15. Like I said, you Trash-republicans and maga morons created this con artist, you take care of this mess. As for me I support Canada and all those other countries that this American Con Artist tried to Bully At?????

I am not republican or democrat and not a blind supporter of any leader. I criticize Trump as well-BUT - No one damaged Canada as much as this guy! He did so bad that he had to resign- he’s not even worthy of being the leader of Canada! He is simply using the opportunity to cover his incompetence! PATHETIC! This guy is embarrassing himself and his country!

I am very sorry for the damage and suffering that these tariffs and trade wars will cause to people in our two countries, as it is clear that many people are. It is obvious that Donald cares more about himself and his various fantasies than he cares about other people. Unfortunately, he is supported in this by his cabinet, congressional Republicans, and enough ill-intentioned voters to make this our new reality. I hope that there will be a point in the future when life will become friendly again.

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.

This Governor thought. He could convince the Republicans! ??

Prepare to see the price of everything rise and the cost of living become harder to achieve losers. You voted for this garbage. You Trump voters are the most unpatriotic of all of us with your inability to critically think and your parasitic relationship to Republicans and Trump. The regular people of USA will suffer now and be weakened to fight back and further demoralized against the billionaires who successfully brainwashed you into supporting billionaires.

I'm just going to clarify something remember when they said Trump had allies with Russia now you see what the Democrats were talking about. Trump always blames democrats for his faults. Trump had you guys convinced not to vote for Democrat. Now are allies don't even want to deal with the US anymore which is understandable because of what the whole nation seen with their own eyes and heard with their own ears. Trump says he wants to make America Great American dream not for Americans maybe for you Republicans I guarantee a lot of Republicans don't agree with him but they all are scared to say anything to Trump and his team which that is disturbing within itself. Trump needs to be impeached he's causing to much chaos and still getting away with people's lives in real life situations this is not a joke. As for JD Vance his vice president he was laughing and asking Zelenskyy why was he not wear a suit what about Elon musk he wasn't wearing a suit? And when you ask another person to come from another country to the White House they are dressed in their traditional clothing to be mocked by these men is despicable. Real people lost their jobs, real people are dying that need aid,for them to shut down the military aid was a slap in the face,mind you they sit back and laugh about it.. Russia is the last person Trump should be nice Putin is not on the US side it's obvious but Trump laughs with him, communicate better with Putin which is disturbing as well. Having the power and money makes people so entwined into their own world,Trump should think about Americans first and not act like a disrespectful person he ruined his chance not Zelenskyy. Now We the people are looking at our President and vice President like the are unhinged, disrespectful, uncompassionate, and down right rude. Kamala,Tim warned everyone Barak, Michelle, Biden did also y'all should have listened. I voted for Kamala and Tim. If Trump wants peace he needs to stop with all the madness and focus fixing the US.

From Holland, we stand by the Canadians! ❤\nHow on earth could sensible US Republicans have voted for this imbecile? \nThis presidency will end in history as the start of the downfall of the US free world leadership.
