Wouldn’t it be nice to have a rational President like Trudeau? Can someone explain to me why Trump is making enemies of everyone but Russia and North Korea?

Trump is the worst enemy of the usa and the rest if the wordl

Trump is compromised. Period. He's doing Putin's bidding, 100%. This is an incredible moment in history. America has been infiltrated by it's arch enemy in the biggest way. God help us.

Trump is a so weird person who attack friends and help enemies ?

Make you friends, enemies, and make your enemy, a new best friend. Overnight. For no reasons. At the same time, hurt your own economy and people. I would guess, in much less democratic countries, these are enough reasons to impeach a president.

One assumption would make several mysteries solved: Trump just might be in Putin's pocket; whence Canada is his enemy.

Trudeau isn't dumb in stating this bluntly to 'Donald'. Trump needs to get the message (esp. by mass protest from his hopefully former American voters/supporters) just how dumb these US tariffs really are - how they'll cause inflation and stock market collapse the world over. And Trump's aligning himself with the US's manipulative, deceitful enemy Russia is because Trump has been laundering Russian Oligarch's money for decades (from forced prostitution and enslavement, drugs, and small arms sales to terrorists) to finance his real estate empire, ever since his 6 bankruptcies made him a bad risk for US lenders.

Trudeau is probably the happiest Canadian on this planet now. He knew that the focus has shifted from his incompetence and pretentiousness to the national enemy.

he still thinks that trumpy is his friend and that enemies are others.... ahhh Trudeau...... wake up LOL

Ya know, it’s honestly comical that some many people have these knee jerk responses to anything they deem “negative” STRICTLY for the fact that it came from Trump, and rather know TRULY ABSOLUTELY NOTHING behind the reason why these “negative” things are said or done in the first place… I ASSURE YOU 99% of the people complaining about this Canada tariff don’t know that it’s simply to (essentially) force Canada to agree to ramp up their border DEA enforcement/presence to help cut down on the illegal drug trade (primarily fentanyl) coming into America! If more of these people complaining knew this reasoning behind it, I think that would quite honestly shut a lot of them up! And to be completely honest with you, that failure falls on NO ONE MORE THAN THE JADED MEDIA!! I truly believe THAT is hands down the biggest failure in our nation currently!! The media is HANDS DOWN our biggest enemy so far this presidential term!

Justin Trudeau has no time for idiotic behavior. He came out immediately with the reality of this mindless decision made by our countries biggest enemy, Y’ALL’s chosen Batman and Robbing !

America are we switch side to please Satan Putin? And long time friends and allies now our enemies? This is the reason why Putin goes to war with Ukraine, because its all plan out by Trump and Putin.

Canadian here, thank you for all americans standing with us. You are not our enemies and you'll never be. It's just sad what's happening! Hopefully Trump will stop this insanity! ??❤??

What would it be like if Trump spoke coherently, had common sense, and stood up for our allies and condemned our enemies? I stand with Canada and Mexico. I stand with Ukraine. I stand with those less fortunate who need food and healthcare. I am from the U.S.

So happy America force Canada to swallow this bitter pill. Remember this: to be America's enemy is danger. To be America's allies is fatal?

Trump and his grovelling billionaires makes up crap to justify their motives, it seems to everyone but them that their actions are hurting his closet allies and soon his own people. His actions against Ukraine and Europe has the wests enemies licking their lips.

Now you Canada knows to be Americas enemy is danger but to be America's allies is fatal. Am very glad that America force Canada to swallow this bitter pill?. Thank you America????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

As a EU citizen i welcome Canada to the EU, i know they are considering to Join the United States of Europe, and they have borders with one of our Union States, Denmark with Denmark's province: Greenland, and so they are more than qualified and welcome to join our United States of Europe.\nI know Canada is shifting its trade, it had previously with the USA to EU, and we welcome our new partner in trade aswell, Everything that you previously had from the USA can be now provided by Europe, and with No tarifs at all.\nWelcome Canada to the EU! United we all stand for a FREE world! No to Trump's national socialism, no to putin's dictatorship! they became our enemies!

What about the fact the Trump was approached as an operative to the KGB in 1987?? When is this going to be addressed? I mean, we are becoming allies with Russia. It doesn't get crazier then this. I stand with Europe, Canada and Mexico. Trump/Vance/Musk is enemies of the state.

Our left and right leaning politicians in both sides of parliament in Australia are currently trying to stay out of this situation thinking that the mango Mussolini will respect us. But our population knows Donald is a putin arse licker and as soon as he turns his attention to Australia and treats us like Canadian brothers you'll find the USA lose allies tenfold.....as even countries like us trying to find middle ground will finally realise that therr is no middle ground... you're an enemy period ....go Canada ????

America ditching all their allies and aligning with its enemies is treacherous. No other way of putting it

Mr. Trump has no friends. He has willing personnel or unwilling enemies. If you have nothing to give, you are uninteresting. And you only have to give to him. Poor America...poor world.\nStand firm, Canada! ❤

Trump told us to watch out for the enemy within ..... ?

From Belgium; Now this is a leader worth respecting. \nI hope Donald gets put in his place, whether he stops making enemies out of friends all around the world, instead of doubling down making this worse for everyone. \nOr gets stopped by the american people that stand up against him, united with allies their population worldwide, to hold higher morals then the absolute lack thereof asserted by the current Trump administration.

So let me get the straight we are now friends with the enemy.. and made our Friends the enemy.. Oh maga.. you definitely made America great again with this move.. the Israel move you made… Inspired more hate around the world which puts US citizens at risk… Great move on with that one… and the economy tariff bull ish.. made me loose 50 percent of investments… in less than 2 months… Just incredible

Why are we insulting Russia. Russia should be our trade partner. Yet, we support Israel. Disgusting. I agree with the tariff stance, but the whole Russia and China criticism is rooted in Canada's relationship with the US. They're enemy was our enemy. Smart'n up Trudeau.

As a Canadian, the enemy’s enemies are my friends…drop the tariffs on Chinese EVs and put 100% tariffs on Tesla, two birds with one stone

Trump betrayed friends and befriend the enemies. He is strong in front of the allies but weak in front of the enemy. I think that strategy will not work well.

The orange clown still does not understand how Tariffs work. It is evident he thinks it's a tax and when he sees the numbers in terms of government revenue accredited to tariffs, he ignorantly believes the country is making money. His understanding so simple he thinks he has raised GDP and is making America great again when in fact he is single handedly and in the face of universal opposition destroying the economy and causing grievous hardship to millions of Americans. Apparent friend to our worst enemies and himself the biggest enemy of the people.

European here. Economist, French and Hungarian diploma, and an postgrad deg in Int Relations fro Switzreland. I worked 3 years for Canada, Fed Gov. They are rational, honest people. What you USA are doing to your allies is incredibly low. Hence, the credibility is gone for this WH, and will be though job for the next to undo some of the damage. By that time, we Europe will be closer to Canada, much closer, and maybe - not desirable-. much closer to China. No, with russia -not. Until that genocdial regime your guy is in love with is zeroed. At any cost for russia. trump allies with our no1 enemy. Get the f..k rid of him and all his people asap in the interest of you all, except him and the core MAGA sect. We see whats happening there and its no joke.

Trump's alliance with Putin means that we Europeans can no longer see the USA as a partner, ally and friend. We will now have to see the USA as a competitor and opponent, perhaps even as an enemy.

Oh look, another country turned into an enemy. Good job America

Sorry Canada for what’s going on. Our president is damaging our image and busy corresponding with the enemy that goes against what we stand for & morales. Apologies from an American that identifies with no party.

With friends like the orange turd who needs enemies ?

Trump, and GOP agenda: decouple from friends and allies, Align with enemies and dictators.

It just shows how some people in our country truly are. So this is what make America great again means huh? We were the land of the free & opportunity! That S#$! Is done now. Thank Trump & your cronies!! We are now the enemy to the whole WORLD!! THIS IS WHO YALL VOTED FOR!!?? REALLY!!? SMH??

I'll tell you what this is about. I'll tell you why the orange Jesus is attacking friends instead of enemies. I will let you know why Trump has become the largest Putin bootlicker. It is because I believe Putin who is one of the most dangerous political figures in Europe in the last 200 years, who is a former KGB agent and he was a very good one, has dug up some much much much much much much much dirty dirt on the most despicable disrespectful immoral entitled billionaire moron. Probably the same kind of dirt why the Epstein files were mostly redacted. I believe the orange orang spent some very good times in Russia in the past, good times that should never come out in the light of day, some services that were probably at a discount, while some hidden cameras and microphones were collecting that very dirty dirt and the brand on those cameras and microphones was a KGB logo. This is why I think Mr thinnest tope in the world is acting as the Russians boyfriend.

To be an enemy of America can be dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal. Also there is no forever friend or enemy between countries, only individuals benefit that count.

What is it all about! , The top 1% want the war machine wants and needs war! To give the false sense that we’re all united against the enemy! Europe is no longer a battleground for war. The Europeans are too smart! Wag the dog scenario, create an enemy for America And use Canada as the battleground so simple.

Up to now, I strongly despised Trudeau. He was weak, dumb, inconsistent, insignificant. \nNow, my opinion has changed. \nWhat he says is far from crap. \nT is a criminal, at the service of China, Russia to disrupt the North American economy every which way he can, whilst hiding in the shadow of a sheer head on military conflict that would leave both sides in the midst of nuclear fallout for centuries. \nThe enemy within. \nThe scour of unabashed destruction. \nThe new age of mind slavery in a T.

make amerika again????...all country...give 100% tarifff to usa...let him alone in his war to his enemy

From Portugal, I am with Canada and all the countries and peoples who were victims of Trump. \nI never thought I would see a North American President ally with his traditional enemies and create enmity with his traditional friends and allies... all this in one month of government. We have to expect the worst and be united.

I am a canadian and half my family live in the US... we are not enemies but I am not alone in fearing what America is becoming and the direction it is taking in trade , geo politics and governing philosophy. \nthe people behind project 2025 are not rational old conservatives harking back to a by gone era, they are christian fundementalists enacting a plan to bring about the transformation of the US into a full blown christian theocracy. A christian version of the taliban. \nThe vast majority of Americans don't want this and I believe share my fears on the direction of the country... it'll be up to the corporate oligachs to decide how this gets settled and that should scare the crap out of everyone... because they just want chaos to make money, to profit and to self aggrandise and stride on the stage as power merchants ... they could not care less about the American people.\na time is coming that fits the orginal purpose of the second amendment ... let's just hope people are smart enough to know who to point them at...

To be enemy of the United States is dangerous, to be friend is fatal.

Canadian here. We helped America in 1980 by saving American diplomatic staff from captivity in Tehran. We suffered the loss of Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan. This is how we are paid back. The Trump Regime won a election with just 1.7% of the vote. Trump is becoming enemy number 1 in the free world. Stand up Americans against this horrible MEGA regime before your freedoms and liberty disappear.

Two friends fighting is what enemies love to see!smfh?

Russia is not the enemy. US started this war!

Why don't the gloves come off, and we all get to the obvious reality. Trump is doing all he possibly can to sabotage the USA. People need to actually say this out loud and not keep it hidden in the back of their mind. Every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump is doing all he can to sink the USA, probably under Putin's orders. A foreign enemy agent is running the USA, this needs to be said in the open by everyone.

See!!!! Orange IDIOT IS TRYING TO ISOLATE US... PISSING OFF ALLIES!!! WORKING WITH OUR ENEMIES!!! Sounds like HITLER IN THE 40S!!! \nSO ASK YOU AMERICA: ARE YOU FEELING GREAT AGAIN!!!\nAS AN AMERICAN IM DISGUSTED BY THE ORANGE TURD. I STAND WITH CANADA ??
