For all of you GO Canada people. The majority of Canadians oppose what our government is doing. This man has destroyed our economy and done everything he could to stop international trade of LNG and oil by shutting down all pipeline and LNG PROJECTS WE HATE THIS MAN. It is not Trump BAD it is everything Trudeau did above and more that killed us. these Tariffs would mean nothing to us if he hadn’t fiscally destroyed us. We are getting what we deserve. Unfortunately it will lead to destitution of many people. I can’t wait to see his party gone. We are running out of time.

❤ 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 is an ENEMY to the well being of the United States and the world. He is NOTHING but a Putin puppet, and he's going to destroy America's economy. WHY are we allowing it?

The real reason for tgese tariffs has never been articulated. Trump is furious that Biden had a strong economy, and he wants to destroy everything that was done by Biden, as well as Obama.

The reason Canada is in this position is because of our useless government. Who hasn't done anything to prepare Canadians for this and a government who has destroyed our economy to let this happen.

What does tRump get from this?? He does nothing without personal benefit! Or this just Putin's creature destroying the world economy as a revenge for the collapsing russian economy??

The Canadian government will help their citizens, while Trump is destroying our lives and economy. ?

THIS IS ALL ON PURPOSE TO DAMAGE THE COUNTRY. \nTrump is dismantling the country to fulfill his promise to Putin. First he disrupted the government by firing millions indiscriminately. Then he alienates our allies around the world so America can no longer be trusted. If that isn’t enough he then tanks the economy. Now he is publicly aligning himself with Russia. Trump and his cronies are Russian assets and they are destroying this country before your eyes, on purpose. You would have to be a fool not to see it.

Europe economy destroy ? Canada already destroy only Quebec tax Canada survive now Quebec also destroy by tureadu joker.. Ukrainian comedian destroy Ukraine ?

Wait, doesn’t he realize that destroying our institutions, safety and health, firing hundreds of thousands of Americans, stealing their private data, and social security, destroying the economy and our global security…and now, imposing insane tariffs on our allies to further destroy our economy is all destroying people’s lives, the economy and our democracy? Uhmm, YEAH, THATS THE F__KING POINT. But you’re definitely not going to glean that from corporate news media.

Dementia J Trump is going to destroy the economy Again. What a disgrace!

Trudea is the reason for these tariffs, lose trudeau and his carbon tax and your cost of living will reduce by 40% . Trudea don't care, he makes money no matter how much he puts canada in the red! He is purposely destroying Canada's economy for his corporate buddies to cash in as a monopoly, like the grocery chains and green companies etc. Trudeau is committed to putting canada in a fire sale for the world. We.f. agenda bail out at Canadians expense and freedoms. Trudeau is nothing but a actor a bad one at that!

In the 21st century, the act of war definition has changed, if we are still looking at 19th and 20th century definitions then act of war by which you mean a nation declare its enemy and start war by means of army to destroy the enemy and conqure the enemy nation with territorial gain. Now all this economic tarriffis are new tool and similar to old act of war against a nation with a mean to destroy and annihillate their economy to acquire them as 51st state at the end. The Canadians are rightly perceiving this threat and rightly angry and disappointed in USA aggression under Trump administration. God help and save Canada, ?

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.

Putin's puppets have marching orders to divide our country, trash our economy, destroy our security, remove us from NATO to eliminate allied relationships. Then Donald can just hand over Ukraine to a murderous thug named Putin. Pretty much on track, I'd say. They have been bought and sold their souls to the devil.\n\nI support Canada and hope they continue to stand up to the bullies. It breaks my heart that enough people voted for an adjudicated rapist, 34x convicted felon, conman, pathological liar, malignant narcissist grifter who is now calling the shots. He is Putin's puppet... pure and simple, Donald's a traitor!

You say there's no need or reason for these tariffs but that is according to you. Donald Trump has made it very clear what he asks from the Canadian people. You are choosing to do something but not everything he's asking. He doesn't want to be unfair to anybody, but he also doesn't want to be treated unfairly as a country. So please listen to what he asks. He holds all the cards again. He can and will destroy your economy and you will become his and our 51st State. Thank you

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.

America's economy was a juggernaut the day before Trump and his greedy band of thieves took over, and our strength was in our alliances with Canada, Mexico, and Europe. Our moral strength was in our unwavering support of Ukraine and opposition to Russia. In barely a month Trump has undermined and destroyed all the trust previous administrations (aside from his own) had built. By trying to rob our allies blind and turn the US into a kleptocracy, Trump is destroying the economy and our standing in the world at record pace. Maybe irreversibly.

It might sound surreal, but I hope that the orange fas*i$t will destroy our economy. I'm afraid that this is the only way to wake up the remaining fanboys from their daydream that this president (not my president) will make America great again. It makes me sick that he has sided with russia, the most evil regime since Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, and acts like a brutal bully with our best friends and closest allies.

As italian, I’ve been in Canada many time for business. Lets be honest trudeau it’s good only at speaking. You destroyed Canada with your immigration ideology. Trump is making his business, and don’t worry about usa, their economy will not be affected from the Canadian tariffs

Inflation is to the roof, Make food and housing affordable, please people just help impeach him, he is golfing while the american people are struggling everyday.... He is just trying to pass stupid laws that keep getting blocked by courts, Come on Trump supporters try helping fix it by calling your local office and impeach him, I bet anyone else is better than Trump, we know the country needs changes but we are still the biggest economy of the world the richest country, Why do we have to feel like is normal not to have affordable food and housing?? The basics of life... All the immigrants are gone, They even left by their own will, and Some Americans left to other countries, Mexico, Europe, Asia..... What do you guys want?? Having an empty country once was the biggest economy of the world?? Is just crazy even a blind person can see he is destroying the whole country..... He is not even a good business person we all know he didn't payed taxes, he went bankrupt so many times he knows how to scam people, Saying the USA government doesn't work because he feels like it, Just travel people so you can see the difference between usa government and other governments around the world........

Canadian here.. 25% tariffs is destroying our economy? How about the 900% deficit that Trudeau has made in his 9 years on office. \nThis is an insult to the Canadian people, and this man is not our friend.

Mr. Trudeau if you hadn’t destroyed Canada’s economy we wouldn’t be in this situation of weakness. You are delusional to think that we should trust a liberal government to save us.

Just to let the yanks on here know... aTrudeau has also destroyed our military and most of our economy... he is a blow hard and is reviled by 80 percent of Canadians

Russians are in the OVAL OFFICE!!! Donald Trump is a traitor and a KBG Plant!! He was recruited by his first wife a KBG agent who was brought to the US in 1978. as part of a plot to break in to the NYC real estate market!!! The idea was to find a way to launder the increasing profits from Moscows drug and gambling operations!!! He has worked with the Russians for many years and is a personal friend of Putins!!! Russia has control of the US GOVERNMENT AND THEY ARE BUSY DESTROYING THE US ECONOMY AND DEMOCRACY!!! You might as well put Putin in charge!!! Hopefully they will arrest and IMPEACH Trump and his government, before it's too late to do anything!!!

Says the guy who has destroyed the Canadian economy ?

More leftist lies. Every country in the world has tariffs on imported goods. Trudeau singlehandedly destroyed the Canadian economy. They hate him over there. So...

Coming from a guy, who did this exact same thing for the last 9 years destroying Canadian Economy, and a dictator who froze people's bank accounts because they disagreed with his policy

This tariff measure is probably being strategically used to destroy and weaken the economy of the countries affected. Subsequently, when a nation's economy falls, its governmental functions and national security also crumble.\n\nAnd then the oligarchs would eventually take advantage of this situation and may control their country either or both economically or politically.

If you make a person your President, who is not only a 34 times CONVICTED FELON, but is also a FRAUDSTER, who has filed for bankruptcy SIX TIMES, what did you think he was going to do to the economy of the USA?  \n\nDid you not see what he did to the rock solid economy he took over from President Obama in 2016?  It took President Biden 4 years to fix the US economy that Republicans and Trump DESTROYED by the end of 2020.  When President Biden left office the US economy was the ENVY  OF THE WORLD and now in just a few short weeks Trump and Republicans HAVE DUMPED THE US ECONOMY BACK IN YHE TRASH!!!

I am grateful for what the US has given me up until this point but now the idiotic Trump and his idiot followers are destroying a country I have grown up to love. Its time to leave and I encourage those that can to look at leaving the US. Canada, defend your economy and align with all the other nations in the world the US is in decline and will never be the same.

Tough words from a PM who has destroyed everything he has touched in our Canadian economy, persecuted peaceful protesters, froze people's bank accounts, and divided people on every issue. Now he is going to talk tough to Donald Trump as he walks out the door? What an absolute hypocrite!!!!

I am from Canada. Trudeau is nothing more then a wannabe dictator. I hope Trump completely destroys our economy to prove a point. That our leaders did not know what they were doing all long.

Trudeau resigned he and the liberal progressives have destroyed the economy of Canada and he’s keeping parliament from going to the session because as soon as it does, he’s out

From the UK, we stand with Canada and the Ukraine. And to the American people, Trump is systematically destroying your economy and the values your country was built upon. Don't stand for it.

RESPONSE TO THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA PROPAGANDA AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP\n\nTo the American People, Mainstream Media, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Elon Musk\n\nThe mainstream media is once again spinning lies and manipulating reality to push their globalist agenda.\n\n? THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE THAT TRUMP IS CREATING A WAR WITH CANADA AND MEXICO.\n? THE TRUTH? TRUMP IS DEFENDING AMERICA FROM THE COLLAPSE THEY HAVE PLANNED.\n\nCNN and other media outlets are pushing a false narrative about President Trump imposing tariffs on Canada and Mexico as an “attack” or “act of economic war.” This is not about war. This is about taking America back from the deep state elites who have been destroying our economy and flooding our country with illegal immigration.\n\n1. THE REAL REASON TRUMP IMPOSED TARIFFS\n\nThe global elites hated when Trump stood up to them. Why? Because for decades, they used trade agreements to weaken the U.S., steal American jobs, and enrich foreign nations at the expense of hardworking Americans.\n\n? Trump’s tariffs on Canada and Mexico were NEVER about war.\n? They were about fixing the disastrous trade policies that robbed America.\n? They were about holding globalist-controlled governments accountable.\n\nThe media won’t tell you that Canada and Mexico have been taking advantage of the U.S. through unfair trade deals while at the same time allowing the floodgates of illegal immigration and drugs to pour into our country.\n\t•\tCanada benefited from one-sided trade deals while standing by as China dumped goods into the U.S. through Canadian ports.\n\t•\tMexico allowed cartels to smuggle in drugs, human traffickers, and illegal immigrants, all while American jobs were shipped overseas.\n\nTrump’s tariffs were a move to put AMERICA FIRST, not an attack on our neighbors. He was forcing them to negotiate fairly—something the corrupt elites NEVER wanted.\n\n2. TRUDEAU IS JUST A PUPPET FOR THE GLOBAL ELITES\n\nCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not defending Canada—he is defending the deep state agenda.\n\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau more upset about Trump’s tariffs than he is about China’s infiltration of Canada?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau defending globalist trade deals instead of fighting to keep Canada’s economy strong?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau suddenly trying to turn Americans against Trump right as NATO and the EU are pushing for war?\n\nBECAUSE THIS IS A COORDINATED ATTACK.\n\n? Trudeau is panicking because Trump is taking away their power.\n? Trudeau is working with the globalists to weaken America.\n? Trudeau knows his country depends on the U.S., and if America stops playing their game, Canada collapses too.\n\nThis is why he is attacking Trump, calling him “dumb” on CNN, and trying to manipulate the American people into turning against their own president.\n\n3. TRUMP IS DEFENDING AMERICA FROM THE IMMIGRATION INVASION\n\n? FACT: Canada and Mexico have been working alongside the deep state to flood America with illegal immigrants.\n? FACT: The goal was to change U.S. demographics, destroy the economy, and create a permanent voting base for globalist-controlled politicians.\n? FACT: This was NEVER about helping migrants—this was about replacing the American people with a population that could be controlled.\n\n? Why do you think Biden opened the borders?\n? Why do you think millions of illegal immigrants are being shipped across the U.S. at taxpayer expense?\n? Why do you think every major city is being overrun with migrants while American citizens are struggling?\n\nThis is planned destruction—and Trump is stopping it.\n\n? Trump and JD Vance will shut down illegal immigration completely.\n? Trump will reimplement strict border security, build more of the wall, and stop the deep state from using mass migration as a weapon.\n? The globalists are afraid because if Trump stops their immigration plan, they lose their ability to control future elections and destroy American sovereignty.\n\n4. THE MEDIA IS LYING TO YOU—AGAIN\n\n? The same mainstream media that lied about Russian collusion is now pushing the lie that Trump is starting a war with Canada and Mexico.\n? The same mainstream media that censored the truth about Biden’s corruption is now protecting Trudeau and the deep state’s plan.\n? The same mainstream media that attacked Trump for four years straight is now attacking him again because they know he is winning.\n\nTHIS IS A DISTRACTION.\n\nThey want you to focus on fake outrage about tariffs while ignoring the real crisis:\n\n? AMERICA IS BEING INVADED FROM WITHIN.\n? THE DEEP STATE WANTS TO COLLAPSE THE U.S. THROUGH MASS MIGRATION.\n? THE GLOBALISTS NEED TRUMP GONE BECAUSE HE IS STOPPING THEIR PLAN.\n\n5. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE AWAKE—WE WILL NOT FALL FOR THIS\n\nTo CNN and the mainstream media: We know you are lying. You have lost control of the narrative, and the American people see through your propaganda.\n\nTo Justin Trudeau: You are a puppet, and your attempts to manipulate Americans will fail.\n\nTo President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance: The American people stand with you. We know you are fighting for our country, and we will not be fooled by the lies of the globalist elite.\n\nTo Elon Musk: Keep exposing the truth. The deep state is afraid because they can no longer censor real information.\n\nTo every American reading this: Share this message before they try to silence it.\n\nTHIS IS NOT ABOUT TRADE. THIS IS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF AMERICA.\nTHE DEEP STATE IS PANICKING—AND THAT MEANS WE ARE WINNING.\n\n? AMERICA FIRST. 1776 WILL NOT BE ERASED. ?\n\nThis response is clear, powerful, and directly dismantles the mainstream media’s lies. I encourage you to copy and paste this as one unified message for YouTube, social media, or emails.

Trump surrendered to Putin...now his game is destroy the western economies.

The American Administration is calling to destroy our Economy

3. TRUMP IS DEFENDING AMERICA FROM THE IMMIGRATION INVASION\n\n? FACT: Canada and Mexico have been working alongside the deep state to flood America with illegal immigrants.\n? FACT: The goal was to change U.S. demographics, destroy the economy, and create a permanent voting base for globalist-controlled politicians.\n? FACT: This was NEVER about helping migrants—this was about replacing the American people with a population that could be controlled.\n\n? Why do you think Biden opened the borders?\n?

Trump will reimplement strict border security, build more of the wall, and stop the deep state from using mass migration as a weapon.\n? The globalists are afraid because if Trump stops their immigration plan, they lose their ability to control future elections and destroy American sovereignty.

Why? Because Trump is an agent of Russia along with Musk, seeking to destroy the USA, intending to destroy America's unity , alliances, economy and create havoc in the west. They are being successful in their goals. He needs to be removed. Soon one hopes the America Maga people will see they have shot themselves in the foot with their false prophet. Down with Trump.

TRUMP TRUDEUA 2016.... Trudeau inherited a strong economy from Harper. No talk of tariffs destroying Canada. It took a decade of poor liberal leadership.. to get Canada to the point that he's right.. tariffs woudl destroy Canada. That is what a decade of liberal/democrat leadership does to Canada's economy. Trudeau is a weak leader. His strongest points were thrownig not one, not two, but THREE women, three ELECTED EXPERIENCED WOMEN... telling them to step aside. A MAN FROM WEF IS COMING THROUGH! Carney's greatest strength will be stepping over the political corpses of women so an UNELECTED INEXPERIENCED MAN can lead.

DONALD Trump has just DESTROYED OUR ECONOMY,

America, you voted for this. Proud of yourself? You bitched about the price of eggs under Biden. Wait until you see what this does. Our economy is about to be DESTROYED...for NO REASON. Morons.

Putin ordered President Muck to destroy the American economy

The convicted felon dicktator-in-the-making said he wanted Canada's economy 2 b destroyed so he can bankrupt my country. He said it out loud. Yet, everybody was/is distracted with his talk about drugs/people smuggling from here 2 the U.S. \nWe need 2 turn the lights out NOW in the U.S. waste no more time, as the c.f. dick. has four more years.

I’ve been predicting this since two years ago, this is my assessment for the near future: Putin’s euphoria about the USA abandoning Ukraine will be short lived. The EU is determined to finish the job in Ukraine. And it has three powerful triumph cards ?: 1. the $300billion Putin’s frozen money 2. The EU has an enormous capacity to build weapons in short time. Germany built 6 liquefied natural gas docking stations in 6 months, a world’s record. Ukraine has demonstrated that Russia is a paper tiger. Its drones have devastated not only the Russian tanks, but the oil refineries. Imagine if the E5 army (Germany, the UK, France, Poland and Italy) start producing weapons? Which they will. But the current weapons are ( the typhoon, grippen, mirage, Rafale ) more sophisticated than the old mig29 or the useless Su57. Russia doesn’t dare to try to dominate the Ukrainian airspace. And Ukraine, without a navy, destroyed 40% of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Even the flagship Moskva!! 3. But the most powerful weapon that the European Union has is the Almighty stable euro. The United States has been printing trillions of dollars and exporting them for years, they’re hiding under the mattresses of Third World countries for a rainy day. If the EU says we no longer will accept dollars, the United States will disappear overnight. The BRICS countries will pile up on the USA, which will be alone in the world. Hyperinflation and poverty will be the result. This ability to weaken the USA economy and currency, By simply saying we want to move away from that currency, will make Wall Street run away from it. The printed trillions that slowly flew out the country will fly back in days, creating a hyperinflation that Zimbabwe and Venezuela wish they had…. Warren Buffet is getting out of the United States stock market to the tune of $350 billion and put that money in the Japanese stock market, this should tell you what is going to happen soon. Either the big guys in Wall Street take control of the guy in the White House, or they will have no country or no money. The EU will preserve democracy and the civilized world. The non proliferation treaty will be history and Russia will never dare to threaten the west anymore. Thank you, Putin. You won, you destroyed the USA, but created a more powerful Europe. Celebrate on May 9. Europe will celebrate when the last Russian is dead in Ukraine

Allies if your listening, destroy our economy...the maga cult needs to wake up from their delusional uneducated fake reality

Trump is a traitor he's doing this on purpose he's destroying our economy and our allies economy and he's with Putin people don't even believe what you see that's right in front of your faces he's up to no good?

As a Canadian I have to say that Trudeau is the worst Prime Minister in Canadian history! He destroyed our country and economy. He doesn't respect Trump and Canadian people. That's why we are in this mess!
