I'm American and I'm against Trump and his administration. Do what you have to do. He has no friends.(Trump) He is a fascist. In love with Putin. Go Canada GO

Trump reminds me of Two Faces friends we have in our lives who are a betrayal of friendship. \nTrump says he doesn’t want war but sir you declared an economic COUP with your true friends which is dishonourable. \nWe Canadians stay stron together. You can go pet putin’s…..

The American people who voted for Trump ought to be totally ashamed - he is only interested with his good friend Putin and wants to strip Ukraine of his precious minerals. Stay strong Canada and play him at his own game.

Donald Trump is only Putins friend.

Thank you Canada for standing up to the idiocy of trump.\nThere is mounting and clear evidence that trump and his enablers stole our election through suppression of legitimate American voter’s votes…. And manipulation of voter machines…\nThe evidence is overwhelming…Trump is a #PutinPuppet and he is Putin’s useful idiot.\nThe majority of us Americans love our Canadian friends and neighbors.\n??❤️?❤️??

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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

Trump has been given instructions by his Kremlin handlers to drive our friends away. Pretty simple, he’s working for Putin.

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!!!

As an American I Understand and Respect your Decisions. You must Protect your Country and its People. At this time this Administration under America's Care. Cannot be Trusted! It has been laid bare for the Whole World to See? Donald Trump is in some way Beholding to Putin. Why else would He Cowar to a War Criminal over Working with Friends in Democracy ? It appears that this Administration under Donald Trump is working with and siding with a War Criminal with Criminal Intentions to Divide up The Spoils of the World after they do Everything to Destroy it.\nStand Strong Canada You are The Better of The World. Stand up for Right ,for Truths and for Democracy. We are all Depending on You now.\n??❤️

MR. PRESIDENT TRADEAU, trump IS NOT ANYONE'S FRIEND!\nTrump IS A DAMN TRAITOR, Putin's little orange lap pig pet and under no circumstances should he EVER be trusted!

REAL AMERICANS STAND WITH CANADA!!!! NO ONE WANTS PUTIN'S POODLE - lap dog Trump! Money stole the 2024 election! Canada REMAINS OUR FRIENDS!!!

Trudeau what you're saying about Putin ain't good,President Putin works so hard to safeguard the rights of the weak and prevent them from exploitation by the strong in the society,on the other hand President Trump may have made a decision that doesn't suite you but that doesn't mean he's dumb, if his decision ain't favoring you simply sit done with him and converse to find a solution.Russia is not the enemy of America but the people who spread propagandas about Russia are the ones creating an imaginary enemy who in real sense is actually a friend.

If Trump is a friend of a criminal dictator like Putin, he should not be president of the United States. He is dealing with the enemy and betraying American values.

When are people going to realize that the Tariffs have nothing to do with fentanyl crossing the Canadian border, that is just a smoke screen. the real reason is the fact that Trump is Putin's puppet and Canada is aligned with Ukraine, so now they are trying to hurt and possibly ruin Canadas economy. Trump is like Putin where he does not care if counter Tarriffs hurt the American people, he only cares about himself and his rich friends, who will not be personally be affected by them.

Trump is so in love with himself that he cant imagine putin not being his friend. And putin admiring him..putin is playing him..of course trump probably owes him and putin is collecting..not up to me or all of us to pay putin. That is trumps bill.. trump has us on a collision course with possible depression..i hope all those billionaires lose all their money..how stupid and greedy could they be..

The news peole need to get their heads out if their a---s. fentenyl was just an excuse to for the pumpkin to put tarriffs on Canada andMexico to hide the fact he and his rich friends are robbing the country blind. No body wins in a trade war.trump has been inflating the amount of the deficit andnot taking onto account the services Canada also buys from the USA and the fact that we despite having a much smaller population is their best customer. Behind all this.the USA might check out what Trump and Putin have up their sleeves for Americans in the coming days

Why did Trudeau say that about Putin? He goes along with the eu propaganda. Putin is a good man and would of been a good friend to Canada. Trump knows this. Get a book or two,Trudeau, and think for yourself instead of what the eu tells you to say. Thats a fail.

The USA is now without friends around the globe: well except for Putin’s Russia. Canadians, Mexicans and Europeans are all united against Trump and his cabal.

This makes sense. Trump has aligned with Putin. So why would we want to be friends with Canada. We have chosen Russia.

It all makes sense when you realise Trump doesn't see Canada or Europe as friends any more. He's completely lined up with Putin, someone I believe he desires to emulate. He is perhaps considering Canada as his Ukraine.

Trump's only friend is Putin. And he only likes him so he won't show the pee-pee tapes.

Trump treats friends as enemies and enemies as friends. Its stunning how quickly he is burning down America. USA will be a pariah state within 6 months and then Trump can hang out with Putin and lil Kim. Its stunning

I am a military veteran from midwestern United States and a former intelligence analyst from the end of the cold war... we are friends with Russia now? F*ck you Trump and f*ck you Putin! God bless Canada, Mexico, Europe, and especially Ukraine! I hope to see my true friends resume good relations with us when this f'n cartoon of a president is out of office.

Trump just loves to play dirty…he’s a thug and a felon..a vile subhuman who has a black heart ? and the need for greed that surpasses any other person ever..he doesn’t care for the people only his billionaire friends, money and power….this is all for Putins benefit. There is a Canadian election in 2025 but not any day now…get your facts straight!

Trump is waging trade war on Canada now- but Putin is a friend now?? WTF

Please Canada ….. know that most of us do not agree with dictator Trump. As a veteran and American I am truly ashamed of our Putin loving president. Just know the majority of Americans see you as our friend, don’t believe most American’s support this….. I support Canada and what ever they feel they need to do to fight MAGA and our insane president.

There are a few thousand american military bases around the world. Once you end alliances, they are gone. USAs is gonna have a bad time deploying their troops anywhere outside florida. Its a logistical question. Aint no friends around to solve it either apart from russia. Im just gonna say it America is Russia. Lets put it even better Russia owns america. America is trump wearing a latex harness, and putin is leading him towards the bed to get pissed on by russian prostitutes. ( I love russian prostitutes myself, but they should not be part of politics is all im saying)

Trump pushes away all US friends, he acts like putin's stooge

Trump paid out billions his last term due to his tariffs. Farmers and Ranchers will go belly up real quick if he doesn't bail them out once again. Trump cares about putin and musk, and his billionaire friends.

Not just Canada are holding the ground against the bullying of the Trump government, also Mexico, China and European countries are holding their grounds. The US, you are big for sure, but now you have only one friend: Putin.

From the moment that US citizens understand that Trump only respect one friend (Putin) \nmaybe, that moment you will start to react

To Americans in the comments saying they stand with us: Thank you, but your actions are more effective than a Youtube comment. Contact your local congressperson and make your view on this matter abundantly clear. The only ones who can stop Trump's lunacy are the American people themselves. I don't care if you voted or him or not, support most of what he says, or none of it, you can't support something like this which only hurts both of us, and you should not support your leader becomng Putin's favourite new 'pet.' \n\nGet your heads out of the clouds, look at a map and realize that we've always been right there, a good neighbour that never gives your trouble. Let's be friends again.

I’m sorry our president trump don’t appreciate friends and allies he really love putin because their the same creminal it’s a shameful crazy president trump!!!

how did america end up this ugly way. And today is a Sad day for America not for canafa, remember that. By the way, this is not what trump want this is Putin really want to defeat America. Please Wake up my dearest American friends .

Trump has no friends left, except Putin

Satanic Evil Trump not a republican he stole this party like he stole the election you know that he's a convicted felon , he's a child molester with Jeffrey Epstein , the man that love grabbing women by the p---- , cult leader using religious to get these corrupted religious mega follower's to back him up and Putin's little puppet , humiliating and degrading our friend from Ukraine this list goes on with this American Traitor no more talking take our business to Europe . The America Justice system and Politicians represent the people, who make decisions have turn their backs on us and even their own people in the USA push to have Elon Musk Canadian birth right remove from our great country Canada . Elon not worthy to be even call a Canadian . Oh no we can't forget dear old JD Vance who speaks against gay right and he worn little girl clothes in high school and still today wear makeup around his eyes. And the mega Christian followers , call them leaders sent by God they better start reading their holy bible cause it all written in the holy book..

You Canadians still think Trump is a friend? Trump only has one friend, Putin, and Putin alone!

As an American, I feel shame for what our unfit executive team is doing to our country and our relationships with our friends and allies and abandoning the Ukrainians to Putin’s war crimes and immoral war. trump is a morally bankrupt miscreant and an embarrassment to America. Canadian friends , rational Americans will course correct and override this maga extremist scourge..

There are Canadian's who are angry, afraid, and totally confused by this action. I have friends who are even concerned that Trump could use military force, and the Putin stuff has just enhanced those feelings.

? first of all get it right mayor Adams is a criminal and he embezzled a lot of money from New York I grew up in the Upper East Side in New York okay and I used to like him until he was caught and and plenty of proof it's not about him doing anything about the migrants it's the fact that he changed his tune all the sudden when he's caught and Trump is willing to drop the cases as long as he goes with the flow and does with Trump says but if he doesn't he's legally allowed to bring the case back up that's why they have the case in court and the Seven judges resign because they refuse to drop a case a new was being dropped for political reasons not because he wasn't guilty and the fact that Trump had in writing that he could bring the charges back up there's only one thing that can mean if he doesn't go with the flow and be a good little soldier and doesn't do exactly what the orange buffoon tells them they can bring the charges back up that's never been done and is highly suspect that's called blackmail!\n\nBy the way a Democrats don't disagree with deportation and not letting illegal violent criminals into the country but we do disagree with separating women children and babies from their mothers and fathers and we do disagree with just deporting people that are brown black and Muslim many of them that aren't even violent now you can't tell me that it's the most racist deportation ever you name any Canadian any Australian or european that's being deported that's here illegally there's plenty of them I have plenty of friends that know people they work with that are Australian and Canadian and European that are illegally you don't see them getting deported I wonder why they're all white that's why!\n\nTrump wants to say he's only deporting violent criminal gang members more than half of the plane that he deported to a couple of different countries had plenty of people that weren't criminals or gang members and he even ended up deporting American soldiers and vets by mistake and they used a military carrying jet that cost $242,000 for every round trip 12 hours as opposed to what every other president uses a regular Boeing style jet that cost $102,000 for that round trip now you tell me that saving money that's called just showing off and guess who pays for that and he wants to do that every day oh that's a great way to save money?\nPlay you got Trump being harsher on Canadian Mexico than our enemies China and Russia oh that's right he's budding up and siding with Russia now over Ukraine telling the world Ukraine started the war? when Putin is obviously the aggressor and the war starter who even said on TV that he would have this war 3 months and no Russians would die! You now have this clown kissing his ass and spreading Russian propaganda that zielinski is a dictator Which is far from true because if it were true Trump would be actually kissing his ass like he does with every other dictator? I'm lying about he has a 4% of ratings Which is far from the truth he's got 54% rating zelensky which are higher than Trump's right now Trump's ratings are below that and they're going down fast!\nHe is crushing in the stock market he's crushing the economy and grocery prices are sky-high thanks to his tariff solution quote that he doesn't have a clue how they work

Here it is again my fellow Americans. Another bumbling democrat mess Trump has to clean up. Putin only invades and destroys ukraine when democrats are in charge. 2014/obama2022/biden. There is a correlation between democrats/putin and ukraine getting invaded and destroyed. Not me, not Trump. democrats and their vote. Dont worry my democrat friends. Trump will clean up the democrat ukraine mess, Trump will clean up the bumbling democrat california mess, the democrat Gaza mess, the millions of foreign citizens democrats flooded into the USA mess., The price of eggs mess, Americas enemies on the march all over the world mess. What a bumbling democrat joke on the American people. The American people are back in charge now. We will clean up the bumbling democrat mess.

Trump is a dog that barks and doesn't bite, he likes to be a bully, in fact he is a pacifist, he will stop sending weapons to Ukraine so as not to attack his friend Putin, but there were enough threats and blaming Mexico for the addictions of Americans, our president Sheinbaum put it still, in fact U.S.A. created these synthetic drugs and their addicts, the laboratories and pharmaceutical companies created the substance of methamphetamines and fentanyl to treat diseases and ended up with their patients with side effects and addiction, the Mexican drug traffickers only took advantage of that new market created, they replicated the substance, that What happened to you for not creating an institution that studies and certifies each medication in search of side effects or that causes addiction as the institution does cofepris in Mexico and they still send weapons from the U.S.A. to Mexico to arm the cartels, every time criminals are arrested and their residences are seized, high-caliber weapons from the U.S.A. are found, and Trump says the guilt is Mexico only, since election campaign attacks to Mexico to get votes, enough of that sh*t
