Bro why you mad? You retiring next week right?

I mess with trump but he been doing alot of dirty things in the last week im definitely 50/50 now from a hunnit%

This week beta clown playing tough is laughable. Shut up Trudeau and leave, nobody cares what you have to say.

Pretty sure Trump will turn it around in 2 weeks time and will say it's Canada that placed the tariffs on US, Mexico, Europe. :) ........ Watch.

Looks like we’ve achieved to isolate ourselves from most of our allies, increase inflation, lay off thousands and possibly millions of people, all in less than a week. Very productive week, Mr. President.

Canada will fold in 3 weeks

Ill maks it make sense. The usa cannot fight a 2 prong war. Europe needs to focus on Russia while usa focuses on china. It was proven a year ago that if we fought with both. We would run out of ammo in 2 weeks. We are competing with china now. Not Europe not Canada not mexico. China!

At this point they should just watch as the United States implodes on itself. The funny thing is just a couple weeks ago he seemed so confident that Canada was going to sign as the 51st.

HEHE, I CAN WAIT TO SEE HOW THIS AGES(I GIVE IT A WEEK)...I THOUGHT THE GOVERNOR STEPPED DOWN?

War on Canada… stay tuned,, that’s next week news

get doug ford to cut the fccking power and just randomly stop selling oil for a week every few weeks to fcck it all up.

Kudos to the person who wrote him this speech. Not sure what great things he did that he speaks of… why didn’t he talk weeks ago before the taarifs? One speech without um, hum, ah… finally but still he must go!

When you can create a meme coin and make tens of millions within a couple weeks, you really don't have to care about the markets crashing and other people losing their retirement funds

Isn't this the guy that Canadians hate? Isn't he the criminal they all wanted gone a few weeks ago.

Crazy how Trump is litterally destroying the economy with 6 weeks thats a mew world record

I can't bealive how dumb US liberals are, US literally has one of the highest reserve of oil and natural gas, US used to sell oil to Japan, India and many other countries when trump was last time in office but Biden distroyed that by banning the drill. 70% of import from canda to US is oil and natural gas which they don't need they just have to switch on those machines again which they already did and in few weeks they will not just ful fill their own need bul aslo start selling gas to Japan and India as trump promised in last meeting with them, and rest 20% import from Canda is electricity, they used to busy that electricity just to bypass the Paris climate aggrement of having green electricity, biden insted of building green electricity industry he choosed to buy those from Canada and last rest 10% left which is $15billion for economy like US this much money is peanuts and 30% tarrife on that will have nearly no impact.

Proud of you Canada! US is now officially Russian state! After 3 years of brutal war Putin is un successful to occupy the whole Ukraine, and still Ukrainians are fighting hard even with losses, but US on the other hand become a Russian state in just 3 weeks! the most powerful military and country in the world become a puppet of a Dictator! without firing a single bullet!!! Trump is the most Idiot person who ever lived, and those who support him are most than morons!

Putin hasn't been able to take Kiev in 3 years, \nbut managed to take Washington in 5 weeks.

This guy sucks. He do want I now what Americans want. We are tried of our first 3 day a of the work week goes to other countries who are now acting like brats

Let's see how long snow Mexico will last in this trade war I'll give it a week or two before he's crawling to TRUMP for forgiveness

Senators the people demand you to return to your states and give us an explanation of 5 things you did last week

Thank you all that elected president Trump… life will only get worst and we are only at week 6

a week from now you will be swallowing your words.

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.

Hey Canadians, on behalf of the good people in America... I apologize for the ignorance and stupidity of one EMBARRASSING excuse of a leader that is not only sticking it to Americans in every way you can think ... I refuse to call him a president because he is NOT... He is a convicted felon, convicted on 34 felonies. He is a fraudster, a cheater, a LIAR, a thief, and a THUG! He is not a legal president because he cheated to get elected in the first place because he cheated in 2016 by having his Russian friends interfer in our election by smearing, and launching the wikileaks ĺeak that She had emails from her secratary of state days on an unsecured computer at the DNC Hillary Clinton, merely weeks ahead of the 2016 election.\nTrump also incited a seditious insurection in 2020 after losing that election failing his attempted coup to sieze power in an election he LOST! Donald Trump and many of the GOP that ran for thier lives on Jan. 6th 2021 now refer to the insyrection as a peacful gathering of non violent protesters... Trump calls it the best day ever!!! Think about that for a minute! The very first order of business Trump did after his inauguration was to pardon 1500 crimina convicts that either plead guilty or were found guilty of charges like sedition. And insurectionists. Many of them for violent crimes like battery on a police officer. And other charges loke trespassing on a federal building, and theft charges for stealing laptops and all sorts of things.\nDonald Trumps first act was to free all of them with a wave of a pen... he freed police bashers!!! And scum bags like Elmer Rhoads, and leader of the proud boys Enrique Tarrio... and all tge violent punks that tried to overturn a free and fair election!!! I is disgusting! HE a k so pardoned the biggest drug dealer in America that catered to criminals and murderers, the owner and inventer of the silk roads dark web site.\nTrump is a Russian asset, make no mistake about it. And fir the last 40 days or so he set about to burning down all American institutions with the help of his Billionaire campaign donors that agreed to get him elected for MORE MONEY!!! Trump is turningvon our trusted allies all friends, and siding with countries like Russua, North Korea, Iran, Turkey, and other countries that are under the control of string men autocrats, and dictators! He publicly called our friend and ally Vlidomir Zelenskyy a dictator! While at the same time calling Vladimir Putin a genius, and a really smart guy that wants peace he says!\nVladimir Putin is the worlds most cold blooded mass murderer of our lifetime and he is a war criminal that kills mostly civilians, women and children deliberatly!!! He poisons his political opponents and business partners with plutonium and other ways like having them thrown out a high ruse window, or shit from the sky in an airplane!!!\nDonald Trump is a maniac that Ameruca needs to desperately get rid of before he finishes the job of burning down all our institutions and burning our constitution and democracy in order to turn Ameruca into an autocracy...\nSo, Canadians.... we Americans are deeply embarrassed and we apologize for the reckless behavior of one man!! One ignorant man... Donald Trump. There has never been a more shameful and embarrassing time to be an American! Eff Trump!!!

Ukrainian woman, whose heart is broken by fear for our Army and the people going to die without the US military support on the coming weeks and months, I stand with Canada. America, what have you let done to yourself?

Canada, y’all may be impacted more by these trade war, but y’all have a higher pain tolerance. My fellow Texans lose all sense of principle and conviction when they have to pay 50 cents more for a weekly gas refill. Do what you must to teach Americans to vote with their convictions instead of their boredom.

Except hell be stepping down in a couple weeks and the next will be begging lmao?

I was a big fan of Trump, his administration and policy until last, week and now. I came to realize DT take things personal at times. I might be wrong, just my thoughts

I thought this guy stepped down a couple weeks ago?

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.

I never ever was on the Trump train. I am an American Citizen and I think he is deranged. I hope those that voted for him are starting to pick up on his madness after these past few weeks. How he ever got elected the first time was absolutely sickening. But to do it again? After an insurrection? The U.S. deserves whatever blow back we get. I don’t deserve it but maybe all of these cult followers will start to realize he is a madman. He’s everything we tried to tell people he was and yet so much worse than we could imagine. I am surrounded by Trump supporters deep in AL. I am ashamed, so full of shame and embarrassment that people voted Trump in. He told them who he was, he showed them who he was, and they still supported him. I hope the suffering we are going to face opens their eyes to recognize the insanity!

As an Australian I deplore Trumps actions to be a dictator.\nI’ve Cancelled my 6 week US holiday going to Canada instead\nCanada gets my vote god bless Canada

Trump has been utterly owned by 2 foreign leaders in one week, 3 if you count Putin.

Trump destroyed the entire economy and our global standing in five weeks. That was fast.

Hey Canada, FAFO! You’ll be in breadlines by next week

last week in senior year energy

This American, who's been proud to be one all his, life (but not so much these last few weeks)stands with Canada, Mexico, the UK, Europe, and the besieged Ukraine, and I do not support's authoritarian rule and and stupid, ego-driven economic wars with our neighbors and allies. Trudeau is what a real leader sounds like.

Governor Trudeau was supposed to have resigned weeks ago. Why hasn't he gone away yet?

Don't cry in a few weeks Trumpers faces! You chose someone that fuked you 4 years ago as well. He's gonna retaliate again the US for what they did to him before Joe Biden became president lol he acts like he's gonna make other countries suffer but it's the other way around. Get ready for more homeless

Trump and musk must GO!! IMPEACH TRUMP AND KICK ELON TO THE CURB HE WAS NEVER IN OUR GOVERMENT AND NEVER WILL BE HE NEEDS TO BE FIRED!! ASK HIM WHAT HE DOES ALL DAY LIKE HE ASKED OUR GOVERMENT EMPLOYEES LAST WEEK!! PROBABLY 0 BUT MAKE OUR LIVES MISSERABLE !! ALL HE DOES IS COUNT HOW MUCH MONEY HE CAN FUNNEL INTO HIS ACCOUNT FROM YOURS!!\nSO MUCH FOR MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN NOTHING THAT IDIOT HAS DONE ONLY HAS MADE AMERICA LAUGHING STOCK AND RAISE PRICES AND HE IS OUT TO DISTROY AMERICA

Canadian here. Wake up Canadians. Many people are praising Trudeau for this speech. Don't. He is out as Liberal leader within the week. He doesn't have to follow through on anything he said. Plus, he just stated that he's smart enough to suggest that Trump just put a 25% tax on Canadian goods for Americans but he also thinks that you are dumb enough not to realize that he just put a 25% tax on Canadians for American goods. Trudeau basically created the situation for these tariffs (open border to let anyone come here). He loves this as he gets to take the apparent moral high ground for the first time in his life and wants this speech to be the way he is remembered rather than years of failing Canada. Forget about the last 9 years and vote Liberal if you are a fool.

I applaud our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He comes in strong, clear, no flourishes. No shade of weakness at all. Specially when he was addressing Trump directly. Polite like a true Canadian but pointed. Too bad, he won't be our PM after next week.

Donald Trump has destroyed the stock market in just 5 weeks. Excellent job you idiot.

He'll be crying to Trump on the phone begging for a solution, this is just a facdae. He will promise to do more regarding the illegal immigration and the flow of fentanyl and 2 weeks later the tariffs will be lifted

As a Canadian Trudeau is on the way out in a few weeks and loser that belongs behind bars. He has made some good points, but overall, had destroyed Canada and Canadians. He has sold out to the WEF and globalist elite back in 2016. Trudeau is just another Biden.

Many people seem shocked that the US is acting this way towards its “closest ally.” Let’s not forget that in the days and weeks following 9/11, when a town like Gander, Newfoundland took in thousands of Americans when airplanes were grounded, the US was initially blaming Canada for its lax border and immigration laws in allowing terrorists into the US. They even suggested a number of the Al-Qaeda terrorists in those airplanes had entered from Canada! ? We seem to be an easy target for our ‘close’ friends sought of the border.

It has been less then 7 weeks and look at what Trump has already done... GTFO why you can Americans, it's a very good time to take an extremely long holiday!! \nThings are only gonna get worse, i can see the world turning away from the dollar and America's $36.22 TRILLION national debt becoming like the iceberg that sank the titanic, for the USA!

This entire administration Trump, Vance, Elon and all the unqualified cabinet member on his team need to be REMOVED from office\nI grew up in Detroit and went to Canada 1-2 times a week growing up, it is a great country with very good people. That have always had our backs no matter what. Trump is destroying our country.

In just a few weeks, Donald Trump has demonstrated to be the worst president in American history, and apparently to be the only president who wants to destroy the economy of his own country.
