This isn’t about fentanyl Donald doesn’t care about fentanyl it’s just an excuse and nor is Donald smart

Fentanyl - Pffft! Unquantifiable, only mentioned because it gave Trump the excuse to use emergency measures. Red Herring!

As history has proved: it only takes one single mad, narcissistic and corrupt vile excuse for a human to upend peace; whether it be trade or human suffering! Hitler, Putin and now Trump.

Fentanyl is just an excuse Trump uses for these tariffs. I just don't understand what his true motivation is. He's sick. He truly is.

This isn't about fentynal.. Trump is just using that as an excuse to go after Canada. No nation should ever put their trust in Trump nor his regime. They are snakes.

We know. You have to stand up to that traitor! We love Canada but it's only right that you fight back! You are our sisters and brothers and we want the Canadian people to flourish.We love you! ??♥️????\n\nTrump invented that excuse about the fentanyl in regards to Canada! That's not why he imposed the tariffs!\n\nP.S. He's not smart, just greedy and wiley.

It’s so funny the excuse that Trump uses to justify his actions against allies such as Canada when in reality there is far more drugs going from USA to Canada than there is the other way around. This has never been about drugs or anything other than a personal financial gain for Trump and his own buddies like Putin. It’s a shame innocent people are caught in the middle but America did vote for him so hopefully eyes will start to open to the truth when it finally starts affecting American pockets directly as unfortunately that’s the only way you can get through to most of those kinds of people.

I'm on Canada's side. Trump is felon/mobster that loves dictators.. Fentanyl was never a issue, that was just a excuse to do Putin's bidding..

YOU elected this demented felon and WE are suffering for it. Canada should be given the right to vote in American elections, in which case that hideous excuse of a human being would never have been elected! We have our fair share of Maple Magas but I think now more than ever most Canadians see the timeliness of voting for a very successful banker and economist in our upcoming federal elections.

The United States is AGAINST this despicable excuse for a human being tRUMP!! Americans didn't do this! We've been hijacked!! WE MUST TAKE tRUMP OUT!!! (American combat veteran here).

American here. To Canada and Mexico: do your thing. Our sorry excuse for a president is doing this for NO reason other than he's a complete spoiled CHILD. I stand with our neighbors to the north and south!!!?❤? ??❤

So a few gullible, misguided citizens voted for a President who claimed he could make life more affordable. Look at this UTTER MADNESS caused by an evil, greedy, horrendous excuse of a human being WHO TOLD YOU WHAT HE WAS GOING TO DO WITH PROJECT 2025!!! How dumb are Americans???

These tariffs have nothing to do with fentanyl and immigration; these are merely excuses.

Very good summary. I will add that our I know you wanted to be concise and you nailed it. For anyone who is curious about how our politics make everything worse for us federally, let me explain it in a short time.\n\nTrudeau as of the day of this video, March 3, 2025, is STILL the PM. He said he WOULD resign once a new leader was picked through a democratic process. Right now, he's basically just doing photo ops in Ukraine, UK and anywhere else on our dime because Parliament is prorogued and the party in power, Liberal, is having a leadership race. So, while he may resign within the week once that leadership race is done, he's still technically in charge.\n\nWhat makes that race and the PM's prorogation so bad is that we're in the middle of a crisis - several actually - caused in part directly by Trudeau and his Liberals (and the NDP supporting them). The latest would be Trump's tariffs starting today, March 4, 2025. Trudeau always disappears during a crisis, leaving us to fend for ourselves - (1) COVID, he was at the cottage using every excuse not to be accountable for anything or using unconstitutional powers to crush a protest he didn't know how to handle, (2) Chinese spies, he's ignoring our intelligence service, (3) federal worker strike, he's in NYC at some gala.... I could go on but there's a reason we're hurting so bad.\n\nWe have zero federal leadership, and a federal government that makes things worse for us with things like: over-regulation, subsidizing media to keep us misinformed, nerfing select natural resource sectors but favoring others (oil and gas suffer, while coal is fine... probably because we sell it to China, but I digress), letting criminal out of jail, uncontrolled immigration, passing policies like the FHSA that drive home prices higher and higher, and of course, more and more taxes. I could go on about the billions in taxpayers' money the government blows - it's like a black hole - or the fact that MPs keep getting raises - April 1 is their fifth since COVID - and most federal and government employees are all getting raises at a time when the rest of us are learning to get by with less and less because we're taxed so much and housing, groceries, etc. are so unaffordable.\n\nI have applied for US citizenship. I want to stick around to fix Canada, but I think it's too far gone. We have too many socialists/communists in power and they're not getting voted out any time soon. It's been fun Canada, it's been fun.

The biggest problem with Canada is not its sorry excuse for a PM (although he is a major problem), its Canadians themselves. Spoiled, arrogant, naive & extremely docile. Recipe for a perfect storm. 51 is our best play, but we'll miss the opportunity on that one too I bet.

My parents live in a wealthy town where houses are all 1M+ and they vote down ANY push for new building. Excuses include animal habitats, obstruction of scenery, pollution from construction. They've voted for more immigrants simultaneously.

Betrayed? Excuse me! There was no prior agreement that the visa gravy training was going to forever run. Things change, deal with it, don't play the victim! Glad Canada has put a stop to the choo chooing.

How can that heinous of a reporter ask those poisonous questions? Has she no shame? Has she no conscience? What a horrible excuse of a human being!

Even though it was already said, it must be said again. THIS IS NOT A “DISRUPTION”, IT’S AN INVASION.” May I also add that these migrants are using asylum seekers as an excuse. FINISH THE WALL AND PROTECT AMERICAN CITIZENS FROM INVASION!!!!!

oh look its the prelude as USA invents an excuse to invade.

The elected officials of NYC are probable people who smoke marijuana, at least tried cocaine and enjoy time with a hooker and that's what's behind the rage of having clean streets in NYC. Trump is just the excuse for voting.

NYC are more than happy to destroy Americans using illegals and sanctuary city policy as excuses....treason of this caliber should be met with consequences of such crimes....NO criminal illegally coming to America in NYC are more criminal than these people who hate Americans and make policies that prove they prefer illegals over Americans. Makes you wonder if they are really getting voted into these positions or they are stealing the elections to maintain their power over the people. Just follow the money and the truth will reveal their true intent. These virtue signaling pricks only care for everyone except Americans which by that nature makes them not qualified to hold any office of government in the country.

This is what SLOPPY STINKING EXCUSE FOR GOVERNMENT HAS CREATED. LOOK AT THOSE POOR PEOPLE! JESUS IS NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS!! This didn't just all of a sudden happen. Many of these people are being separated from their families and the stinking LEFT are to blame.

Im sick and tired of immagrants saying that Americans dont wanna work. Thats BS . NOT TRUE \nJUST AN EXCUSE. \nis that why they put 50 ppl in one house so only a few of them have to work ? While the rest just party n play carnival music really loud and have huge block parties ?✌️?

Don’t they understand that being in the USA illegally could land them in Guantánamo Bay Cuba for cruel and unusual torture by the USA? Why on earth would they want to come into a country like the USA which is declining? There is no freedom or liberty here. The USA is still a master and slave economy just in different ways with white supremacist British Americans leading the master and slave relationships.\n\nThey should really stay in their countries and force renewal of those countries \n\nBut the US is dying, and the end of the USA is approaching. Clearly the British Americans, who are in charge see this and will either commit suicide of the country or commit mass genocide of the Americans while the British Americans escape. \n\nThe USA is no great place to be \n\nThe conversation in the USA is strictly between the white masters excuse me, the British ethnic white masters and their black slaves, who are basically wage slaves. \n\nThree chairs to the Mexican border patrol, and Mexican police trying to contain this massive crowd. \n\nI strongly suggest that businessman who are Mexican citizens who can manage soccer stadiums filled with these illegal immigrants help to contain this population of liberation seekers, and two persuade them into becoming citizens of central or South American countries or of other countries, such as Eurasia, Africa, Australia, and such where they probably would have a better Sense of stability, especially in mainland, Europe, but not the United Kingdom, which is the troublemaker behind each of their countries problems

A nice way to excuse yourself, while your neighbors could use your help and compassion... especially children who don't know the politics! ?

Excuse me, but these people illegally entered, committed crimes, and are considered illegal imigrants. How do you suppose they be removed?

Excuse me??? You broke laws. Everyone is going to be in shackles. wtf.

The only excuse to get into another country is when their motherland has war. It is sad to see this happening. This is why it is very important to have good leadership in every country . When your leaders failed to lead, that's what happened...

So, you support ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION? No wonder certain people treat you like 4th class. You give them the excuse to do so. This is why civilised black communities and associations don't align with raggamuffin culture.

This will end it should end. You are a supporter of evil. She or excuse he or, more appropriate, it is still absolutely disgraceful. Low levels of recruitment will change once freaks like this commander are gone.

Almost every Indian who comes back, making excuses about affordability etc.. are lying. The only reason they come back cause they fail to secure residency. Else whatever the situation they won't come back and tries all tricks In the pocket to stay back.

Think about it how could Trudeau allow Brampton to become 80% from India. Where did all the previous owners move to and then u get this shit making excuses. If it’s so bad why are they protesting to stay in Canada

as a Indian I agree there is too many Indians in Canada and because of Indians crime got higher but that’s not a excuse to be rasist to Indians and say go back to country it’s messed up how a lot of white people be rasist to Indians because of their skin colour it happens in Canada I think you should report it to police

No excuse for illegal entry

I see this as an excuse to harass African-Americans.

Illegal crossings and fentanyl (less than 1% coming from Canada) are just excuses to justify the tariffs. His end goal is to bring revenue to the US by means of foreign taxation.

drugs are just an excuse to start an economic war... the Americans voted for Trump and now they have to pay for it

WE WOULD BE DOING THE SAME IF WE WERE THEM PLEASE SAVE YOUR SOULD ASK FOR FORGIVENESS ASK FOR COMPASSION THEY ARE DOING WHAT IT TAKES TO SURVIVE WE MAKE EXCUSES WHY WE CANT LET THEM IN AND HELP THEM WE HAVE LAMD WE HAVE MONEY WE HAVE FOOD THESE ARE HUMANS ,,, WE WOIULD DO THE SAME YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR JUDEGMENT

The drug and immigration is an excuse - Trump is a crook. Let's go Canada! Charge the Americans more for Oil and Hydro and tarriff Tesla 100%

I often wonder how individuals of such limited intellectual capacity manage to ascend to positions of elite power. Does Donald Trump even possess a functioning brain? His haphazard implementation of tariffs, left and right, raises the question: who ultimately bears the cost? Spoiler alert—it's the American people. In short, Trump is fabricating excuses to line his own pockets, masquerading as a so-called 'businessman' while operating more like a seasoned scammer. Cough Businessman? Hardly.

that.. may be one of the excuses the dunderhead has kept thought. their supporters are easily confused anyway, so when the economic hardship hits, he could just go [imagine whiney, nasal, complaining voice]: _‘it's because of the tarriffs they've put on us.. we did a good thing by putting tarriffs on them and they [sniff] tarriff usss!!’_ ?

The Fentanyl excuse is just a ruse to make it sound like the tariffs are for a noble cause. The real reason is to bloat the treasury in order to give himself and his billionaire friends a multi-trillion dollar tax break.

Lol only 1% of illegal border crossing into the US come from Canada. Look iir up. He only used that as his excuse to appeal to the racist rednecks who voted him in.

Illegal is illegal no excuses! Enough is enough…Thank you President Trump! God bless America.

Nobody has a right to illegally enter any country. It's illegal. It's criminal act. Law is law. There is no excuse of asylum. USA is already over crowded. They need to all go back or sent back. ❤❤

When the military say we don’t need these people is purely because of a medical condition. They need constant medication and the government pay for this. My mate was fired for getting diabetes from the RAAF coz of the same excuse: wake up! We need the best of the best/. Not someone that needs constant medication, attention, mental health conditions etc.

There is no excuse for anyone to come here illegally and stay. Being poor or from a poor country doesn’t give you the right to come here illegally and stay. \nWe need to help our own countrymen first and the poor we have here.\nWe welcome legal immigrants.\nRight now it’s all shut down due to all the illegals Biden let come in so blame it on him if you had an appointment but it’s been canceled.\nAmericans are now coming first in our own country again and that’s how it should be.

These people use Trudeau's excuse as IS getting into Canada. I wish it was easy the way my family went through the eye of the needle to work with IRCC to become Canadian citizens, work and toiled to pay Taxes in this country for over 44 years! These people took a plane ride and demands to be better off than Canadian Citizens? 4:29

As a combat veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, multiple times, I completely agree with the president’s anti-trans policy in the military. Soldiers have a hard enough job as it is much less stacking on some DEI nonsense. That’s only gonna take time away from their training and ultimately DEI is going to 100% negatively affect the mission and their safety. Of personally over a 10 year period served with a couple gay and lesbian Service members and never once was what they did in the privacy of their own bedroom ever an issue or counter to the mission but this new age woke DEI nonsense is completely counterproductive, dangerous, And disrespectful to the non-DEI service members. The simple act of picking an unqualified, military leader, who’s responsible for the care and lives solely on the gender, ethnicity, religion, or pronoun, and not on merit, experience, competency, or any of the other real requirements for a military leader is literally the most irresponsible, dangerous, and disrespectful thing you can do to the men and women who have literally dedicated their life for years in service of our country! There’s absolutely no excuse on this planet that would make it ok. Being a service member in combat is already the most stressful job on the planet, but to make them take their focus off of the immediate threat to focus on political correctness or someone’s magical mystery pronoun while trying to prioritize and mitigate threats and combat is the most asinine and literally dangerous Nonsense I’ve ever heard!??????
