Trump is a dictator and the sooner people realize it the more swiftly we can deal with it. If somebody doesn’t reach in and stop him it will become too late. His hope is to partner up with Putin and have the two countries work harmoniously. Imagine that Russia/USA almost has a ring to it. Trump is too stupid to know what he’s doing is going to result in his own demise. We can all see it coming I just hope somebody has enough balls to stop him

15th generation Canadian here. We don't hold the Democrat voters responsible, but we hold all whom didn't vote, and the MAGA's responsible, along with Hair dRumph. You have awakened a beast, and now you will pay attention and feel the pain, if you haven't already. Canadians have been boycotting all things American for months now. We have no desire to align ourselves with Putin-lovers anyway. It was nice knowing you. Au revoir. #canadaproud

US Army vet concerned about Putin's support for Iranian nukes and support for North Korean missile programs. It's like Trump is advocating that. Who does he think they are targeting? He doesn't know Putin any more than Bush did. Fools.

I will be buying Canadian. And I am an American. But everyone knows the Orange Menace is NOT a smart guy. Just a petty little Putin wannabe.

The orange Felon-in-chief is working for Putin. There's absolutely no doubt about it. Newscasters need to stop pussyfooting around this fact. He has ALWAYS been Putin's little lapdog. I really want to know what threat Putin has over tRump.

This guy clearly knows nothing about the way respect works, we have to show respect to Putin for him to even want to negotiate. If anyone thinks that Ukraine which is 20 times smaller than Russia has any chance of winning this war, consider yourself a lunatic

From Italy: if people like Trump, Putin, Erdogan, Orban and Meloni have so much space and have reached the position that occupy the problem is not them but who voted for them. If people think that these characters with their wicked decisions bring prosperity and peace, the biggest work must be done on the people who choose them, not on those who have been chosen. Canadians, hold on tight, stay with your back straight, continue to be what you always were, do not bend as many rich Americans have done and prone to the delirium of omnipotence of Trump. We Italians know well what it means to have such people in the seats of power and also how important it is that not everyone bends.

Know that at least half of Americans do NOT support Trump or the Republicans choosing to ally with Putin and against our historical allies. We no longer are the champion of the Free World or protectors and defenders of democracy. Trump will shake down every country to give the 1% even more wealth. This is not sustainable.

America will no longer carry others, you got high tariffs on America, we put high tariffs on you, turn about is fair play. We voted for Trump to do EXACTLY what's he's doing, this is why everyone is barking now, America has been carrying so many countries for so long, that everyone has forgotten, no longer though. As far as Russia goes, Ukraine is a cash cow money laundering country with a dictator, Russia is not the enemy here, it's you Globalists and Davos clowns that think you can influence the whole world like we are in the matrix, the cat is out of the bag, people are waking up, zelinski chose his fate, and disrespected the U.S. Trump put him in his place. Alot of you are so lost on global politics, all you professed military people saying Putin is the enemy just really shows how little you know. So go ahead Canada and act tough..........you know we carry your country, we don't need your power, our grid is strong, or products etc, the next thing will be car manufacturing plants coming back to America, from Canada and Mexico, where they should be. Let's see how long that tough talk pays Canadas bills ??????????

Trump is still putin's b...tch like all the rest of republikkkans. They're fools playing his game, so in end America finally will be isolated with no allies. When that happens, trump will know who's really against America.

CNN is just another media that whitewashes Trump too often. If you, in the US, had any sane media, all hell would be breaking loose by now! But all the critics I see are so soft, and always fearfull of how Kraznov would percieve them, that they are useless!\nI´m a german in Germany and I´m frightened!\nNot of Putin. I´m sure we in the EU can handle him, even if it`s gonna be hard and will cost us a lot.\nBut right now it seems the US turns heel and switches sides.\nI don`t know if we can handle a russian wanna be empire, that´s supported by the US....\nLand of the brave and free, my ass!

President Vladimir Putin is not a dictator,everyone knows he's a good man.If not everyone let's say most people know he's a good man and if Putin and Trump unite only God knows the developments and discoveries that would be found.

I’m sooo tired of foreign leaders say Trump is aligning with Putin! He never said that! Americans know he is trying to help make peace between Ukraine and Russia to end a war which is also in Canada and the rest of the world’s best interests! I hate the deceptive media! Canada, we are in debt up to our eyeballs and won’t be able to remain a nation without hard monetary choices but to say Trump aliegns with Putin is a cheap shot to get away with what you do now.

Who win this war you know that Putin is ? in rusia with china

I Think putin knows something about trump..... he dictates this

PRESIDENT TRUMP KNOWS NATO KEPT ADVANCING INTO UKRAINE. FORCING PUTIN INTO WAR. PRESIDENT TRUMP KNOWS ABOUT THE WINNIPEG MICROBIOLIGY LAB INVESTIGATION TRUDEAU IS BLOCKING. HE KNOWS ABOUT THE BIOWEAPONS LABS IN UKRAINE. TRUMP WANTS VANADAS CORRUPT LIBERAL PARTY OUT OF POWER

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.

Putin has played Trump like a dumb orange fiddle. America, educate your people better. Too many of you , and I’ve worked with Americans for decades, know nothing of world politics or history except for the American dream mythology. Democrats need to learn how to run an election.Yes, Putin is rubbing his little paws together because he has destroyed post-World War II stability. America take your country back. Republicans, who are still sane, take your party back. History, if there is one, will not be kind to the Magas.

you know we americans are pathetic. throw some unwarranted tariffs against canada and it bonds all Canadians together ready to fight. take a foreign born, unelected billionaire who takes a chainsaw to our government after a reactionary think tank wrote a document saying they were going to destroy our government an create an autocracy--- a think tank composed of people who are now in the trump administration----and now we are aligning with Putin and we americans do nothing. this is sad. we are losing our country

As a Canadian, I know the tariffs will hurt. However, I will not buy anything American. I will tighten my belt, and we will have eggs to supplement our diet. The USA is now a pro-Putin dictatorship.

We all know they are criminals Trump alliance is to Putin only NOW WHAT DO WE DO??

Trump is just doing what Putin wants him to. The plan is to ally with the bad guys. Our govt will be broken and empty, except the military, and Putin will come in and take over and use our military to takeover other countries. I know that sounds like a bad movie but nothing shocks me anymore and I can’t think of any other reason for America to be pissing off our allies - the good guys. I was in Canada over the weekend and I really didn’t want to come back. ?

Is Trump committing treason to the US siding with Putin and starting a commercial war against our allies? Might he also side with Putin military? His attitude is very concerning because nobody knows how far he can get ?

Trump is shameful his dosen't even care about the American people here. It seems like his doing this for Putin l don't know if it true. His acts like Immature bully, but that doesn't make him a strong leader weak instead.

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.

Thats where all of you make mistake. What has President Putin done to you people to hate him so passionately. Don't you know that south world see you as worst dictators. God is fighting on behalf of Putin..KNOW THIS

Putin is rubbing his hands, lailughing and drinking champagne today. Youre playing with fire America. The UK stands with Canada. A lot of people are boycotting American goods in Britain. I for one will be buying as much Canadian maple syrup as i can afford! (A small gesture i know!)

Everyone except the brain damaged knows what a liar and thief Pumpkinhead is. Putin’s puppet.

I see that we’re all still being naive. Telling Trump that this will hurt Americans is not a deterrent, that is the point. Read Project 2025, again Read Project 2025. That’s all it takes. Understand what its authors’ philosophies are. Think of it this way. We know that Trump is aligned with Putin, so what might Putin like to see for the American people? Success or Failure? That is your answer.

Proud Canadian here. So, we all know, including the Americans, that trump is a moron. In my books, he is the economic equivalent of Hitler, and no different from Putin. But my question is, how do you Americans who voted for this bully, feel now? I get it, a lot of American are against what he is doing. But the majority of you voted him in.

I am an American. I did not vote for Trump. He is a narcissistic bully and has alienated us from our allies while he kisses Putin’s a**. Please know not all Americans support this.

Trump wants to do anything he can to weaken the USA as much as he can for the love he has for Putin, so he will lie about everything in order to do this. He lies about canada to justify what he is doing that we all know is hurting we american people . He doesnt care. Nothing canada or mexico does will make a differnce because of the overwll goal he has.

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..

One thing I know for sure is Putin is sitting in the Kremlin laughing his arse off at us.

? 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

Don’t let black women become presidents, Kamala deliberately made a fool of herself on tv while she knew the whole time trump was going to become president again, she was racist and sexist a few times on tv, she insulted black people herself by saying they don’t know what computers are, shes a fool.\nWhite women are far more educated then black women, I’m ok with having Barack Obama again but he’s not running again, so thats that, we don’t have any black men running for president anymore atm, if anything, we cannot let black women become president though, Hillary Clinton is anything else although but eligible to be our leader as shes evil, she wouldn’t take care of American’s, she would’ve only made Putin want to attack America so she’d not have control at all she’d be instead leading us to our deaths.\nAny other white woman but her otherwise mu suffice with being president next, but theres a lot of work needed to clear up atm anyways, with trump coming back once again, we can’t help it now, its to late to go back tk wanting Biden again as we can’t turn out trump for biden since trump won again, so thats just the game we’re playing here atm, we just can’t.

Oh look - Trump being a leader , getting the job done . Just imagine - Trump wins the 2020 election - a secure border , almost zero illegals. Trump tells Putin the way it’s going to be , bullying him or otherwise , who cares - no Ukraine conflict - no million dead - no ruin of large parts of Eastern Ukraine , and a lot of scared , undertrained young Russian conscripts still alive . Just think , in 2020, Trump bullies Iran , a terrorist rogue state - he DOES NOT end their trade embargoes like Biden did , he does not gift them billions of dollars like Biden did , and he does NOT turn a blind eye to them breaching the limits placed on their nuclear program. The result - a broke Iran , no WMD, NOT selling Trillions of dollars worth of oil to China - and in no position to attack Israel via its proxies. Imagine that . Imagine then , the previously vibrant U.S oil and gas industry , making the U.S self-sufficient , not in the current position where the U.S is on it’s knees , begging the Saudis to sell supplies the U.S. THAT , is about to change. Like him or not -Trump gets it done . He was brokering peace deals in Ukraine and Palestine - even as Biden was authorising the firing of U.S missiles into Russia - you know just provoking some crazy megalomaniac to start a nuclear exchange . Pitiful Biden , weak , demented , corrupt and criminally irresponsible.

And the slowing and progress of Bidens economy is undermined just like that. MAGA time. I didnt know the depression and ww2 were the great times Americans voted to come back. He's bringing back the depression and ww3 like he said he wouldn't but he always wanted. Trumps goal is to bring America to her knees so Putin can have her way with her.

Trump is making enemies with our allies! And if he removes the United States from nato, be will just isolate the United States ?? making us weak! Thats exactly what putin wants! Trump is not trying to benefit the United States! Trump is just trying to benefit himself financially! I dont trust trump! I dont like trump! And i know he doesn't have the United States in his best interest! Trump will destroy the United States from the inside out just like he does to all his corporations! People say he's a great business man? Well all of his businesses have mostly gone bankrupt!!

Donald Trump's evilness and Obsession is going to have countries go to Russia and China and North Korea as allies. Just like Cuba \n....hmmmmm..... knowing Russian Useful Asset Putin's Lap Puppy.... it's all for Russia

0:14 I didn't know Putin and Megamind had a love child.

Ah yes, the perfect man is going to fix everything. That's Trump's genius - that he can promise the world , fix nothing and convince people he did. Right now he's trying to fix the war in Ukraine and bring peace. Forgetting he's negotiating with a guy who doesn't fix things, he just breaks them and the last thing Putin is going to do is take Trump seriously. There's a a reason why Putin did not congratulate Trump -- he knows he's dealing with an idiot. \n\nTrump has surrounded himself with dunderheads just like him because competence makes him feel insecure. Intelligence gives him hives and common sense ED. \n\nHe got what he wanted from the elections now he wants to play golf and become the richest man in the world. All those grand plans and ideas except his retribution will have to wait because there's no money. It's all in his pocket. Try a mass deportation of millions when you have a no budget to work with. \n\nHe'll try to deport a few who have pissed him off but end up having it thrown out after the targets hire competent lawyers and sue him. The great legal minds will jump at the chance. Trumps lawyers haven't won a case yet. And so it will go until midterms swing the other way because Trump has accomplished zilch. Trump 2.0 The grand illusion or delusion. Take your pick.

Now that we know how you Cubans feel. I hope for generations you understand that you have cost yourself millions and billions of potential dollars in tourism for your communities in the future. That’s why the south and Texas will have to cry their own river to deal with what they have created for themselves. The future citizens of the world who look down on Trump and the type of people who vote for him don’t want to come to Florida anymore. We’ll fly all the way to Italy or Africa or the Caribbean. \nSame for other warm states. I could visit them as a wealthier American, but I simply won’t and never will now. That’s okay. \n\nNew York and liberal blue states will always be loved by the world and you all will be looked at as the trash no nothing drop outs who can’t make it in big cities because you’re just not good enough.\n\nIt’s fine to be upset about that, but giving the country over to someone who is cozy with Putin and our enemies? When Russia sits on our national grid again and threatens to turn it off if we don’t follow its demands we’ll see how in control of your country you really are.

I know the answer! The Russians and Putin are to blame for everything! It was he who shitted near the entrance and pissed all the elevators in Canada.

Read Peter Pomerantsev’s book “Nothing is True and Everything is Possible” on the Propaganda games Putin plays…..read that book you will know immediately what Maxime Bernier is.

Ladies and gentlemen.everyone who reads this comment. all of you who live in Western countries have a great chance to escape from this madness by moving to Russia. Yes, it is to Russia, because it is here that traditional values are enshrined in the constitution. now Putin has introduced a law where you can get a temporary residence permit for a year or more without knowing Russian. it is enough to be from Western countries, and if you believe in God as much as we do, come to Russia, we are waiting for you, and we will be glad to all people from Western countries.

Ukraine & Georgia got the best soil & weather thatswhy war n politics going on I visited last year I planned to settle in Georgia but no one knows what's in Putin's mind.Canada 6mnt frozen country I don't like coz I lived in dubai 24yrs maybe I move to Australia hopefully I love Irish ppl I worked 22yrs with Irish lads .

governments are defined by the ultimate Authority in that government! America's government is controlled by law(the definition of a Republic) that applies equally to all citizens, in particular to the elected representatives, the US Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Declaration of Independence is the Supreme law in America that controls the government to protect the citizens! hence America is a Constitutional Republic! only lieing ass communist democrat and the dolts they fool conflate elections as a democracy? in a true democracy you have elections to pick your leaders, and your leaders have complete control of government! with no restraints! like Ping in the Socialist Consultive Democracy of China, and Putin in the Democratic Federation of Russia, ((they have elections and vote, bet you didn't know?), your inability to reason, and lack of curiosity to find out makes you half right at best, like your comment, and stupid when it's put in front of your face, but you refuse to check

As a Filipino watching the economy of USA from afar, I think that no other politician has shown significant concern to help its economy except for Trump. He's pretty bold and not scared to voice out issues that make the democrats uncomfortable. It is not for me to decide who others will vote. However, I see a leader in Trump and he's not afraid to fight back. It's only a matter of time for the Chinese to create its own microchips that are of novelty and prestige. Their economy is of course stagnant as of the moment because many foreign companies pulled out from China. Nevertheless, do you think it's going to be forever? They will cope and soon establish theirs given their population and government financial backing. Trump was right to put trade war against them to regulate foreign trade as it did with Japan. All countries will suffer when the dollar loses the international prestige. It is fastly losing it's international reputation as of these days. If this won't halt, imagine a future where the Chinese RMB will be the basis of international trade. You don't know the real plan of the Silk Road guys. Americans are conquerors and we have adjusted with their ways already. And, the Chinese are conquerors as well. Their goal is to really surpass the USA. The rise of China has benefited every ASEAN member, but greatly the former than the latter. We can adjust with their ways. However, America and Europe may not be that ready to adjust their ways for them should they surpass USA. The USA has become complacent and too liberal where individual rights, although important, have gone too far-fetched. This has created entitled individuals who think they own the world. Now, look at the Chinese. While most young Americans are busy dancing in TikTok and the likes of wasting time for entertainment, most young Chinese are studying hard and upskilling. Let's remember that America became great because of its inventions and extremely the nuclear power. Without great minds, minds that are feebled by drugs and misguided philosophies, a society will crumble. USA can use its weapons and influences against other countries, but can it hold the progress of it's rival economy for the rest of the years? You guys need a leader who is competitive and won't back down from a fight. As of these days, given only two political candidates to choose for presidency, I dare say that Trump has a higher bidding for the goodness of USA. Of course he wasn't able to accomplish his plan before after you guys impeached him. How the hell can a leader complete its plan after being halted unprecedentedly amid his administration? Kamala Harris looks promising but not convincing. Aura, although unquantifiable, do speak something. Choose your leader and it will choose your fate. Let's hear what the two sides will share this upcoming debate. If I'm American, whoever wins that debate, wins my heart. As easy as that. You see, if someone can be defeated so easily in his or her country through debate, do you think that whoever that someone who wins will be able to compete globally? Think of the likes of Putin and Xi Jinping. Think of a leader who can communicate with them effectively. That's all for me. Thank you

Must be horrible being RAS-PUTIN or XI JING PING knowing that your own people want you dead..
