why does the new President of America need Canada, Mexico and China to control what crosses the borders into America, it appears the USCBP can not do the job, instead of giving a $4.5 trillion tax breaks to the rich, they should be hiring more agents at the border, after all it is Americas' border,

God Bless our beautiful Country Canada ?? ? Canada is NOT for sale. This is what he wants and will NEVER get. The lies, greed, arrogance and trying to build an empire will backfire. Sad, the hard working and vulnerable Americans will feel the PAIN....NOT the rich and privileged.

When you go back in time 1880 and 1928- 1932 the government did the same thing and bankrupt their country and mr.trump need to go back to school and learn history of see a head shrink. This only for the benefit of his pocket book and his so called rich homies. Back the days when Kings were Kings if you did something against the country off with your head.

Why is it that the republicans always got a threaten our neighbors, Canada and Mexico was high terms, threatening the people all the time and bullying them is not gonna work, usually bullies get put in prison or go to jail or worse, and they know that why are they being bullies just because they're rich and they. Don't want their pockets empty. And they want to take it out on our neighbors.Well, it's the taxpayers that keep them there.Remember that when your election comes republicans, you guys can be oust out of business.You will not be voted for anymore.Remember that and that's my opinion why you bullying our neighbors

Unbelievable that the whole world has to deal with this unqualified Criminal. They all have to speak to him as if the trade War has anything to do with them or Commerce. When in reality it's all about stealing from the poor to give to the rich. Trump does not like that he is the president to ballooned the US deficit more than any other president in history. This was done because of his tax cuts for billionaires the first time around. He wants to extend the tax cuts but he has been warned what it will do to the deficit. So tariffs are his plan to put back into the US coffers what will not be going in from billionaire taxes. The Red Hat Club has been stupid enough to buy the tariffs have anything to do with immigration or drugs. It's so easy for Trump to use these trigger issues to commit his crimes and then excuse it. The cult never questions if they're told it has something to do with hating immigrants. Tariffs are paid for by the US citizen. The little guys. It allows the US government to become a middleman in every transaction. Getting a cut when it has done nothing to deserve it. It is the way Russia runs things. Trump is always using the Russia Playbook of how to dismantle a democracy. It is the opposite of free trade and capitalism

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.

All those who are transporters and they still don’t see anything wrong with what’s happening I’m going to pray for you and your delusional state because this does not have anything to do Republican or democrat. This has to do with the rich middle class in the poor two you guys understand that he does not give a damn about you. He only wanted to vote. You’re going to understand when things start happening in your life in your world and you’re begging for help and you realize that this person sees you in need of help and they won’t help you Then you’re gonna realize he used you but until your world comes crumbling crashing down you’re not gonna understand so sit back enjoy this ride and watch your life. Crumble everything you work for will be gone. All your hopes and dreams will be gone after his presidency is over after this. You know how long it’s gonna take for us to come back from this hell we might even be rule by Russia everybody ready for that I don’t think so. They’ll be no democracy in this country no longer you will do what is told of you or you will suffer consequences they will be fatal so wake up get a grip on what is happening in reality right now you wanna look at him like he’s God he’s king. I don’t see him as a present. I see him as a fucking problem. He thinks he’s solving problems. He is creating chaos and more problems. When this is over we’re not even gonna be able to fix this shit it’s gonna take decades hell these people may not even wanna do business with us ever again we gonna be a third world country And everybody else around us gonna be thriving.?

Only people who stand with Trump are those too stupid to stop supporting things that are against their best interest.. Or the filthy rich.

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

trump is becoming mega rich whilst he kills the American market and send the nation into recession with high inflation. it really is time for Americans to remove trump from office...before he starts WWIII

You need to realize what Trump's real agenda is. All he really wants is money. He wants to make himself and his rich buddies richer. His plan to do that is to cut government spending radically, and impose a sales tax to fleece American consumers. Once he's got the cash flow the way he wants, he will cut corporate tax and capital gains tax so that his companies and his investments can make a lot more money and so can his rich buddies, while still being able to pay off his lackeys in the senate and congress. That's it. It is that simple. Everything else is a distraction to make the media forget his real plan.

How sad and unnecessary to allow one stupid person and a group of rich friends destroy every good thing and replace it with filth. Why did you vote this obnoxious thing into power?

America's heading to a dark future, corporation rule, rich rule. Everyone else is a disposable workforce. But those people are clapping and cheering as it happens. 1984 is playing out in front of our eyes.

Only rich pricks, Canadians and illegals will suffer from this. Average folk like myself, who won't be buying a new car, or a house don't care. No more new houses means less illegals to build them and less houses means less traffic. Win win.

Putin has videos of trump having SX with prostitust in Moscow in the Rich Hotel president suit .

I’m sorry that Trump is so unreasonable. Trump only cares about the income that will benefit the rich, himself and power. The tariffs will effects jobs and people. Trump is an embarrassment to most of the people here. Elon Musk help him win the election by paying people to vote for Trump which I think should be against the law. Trump is putting the USA in a very dangerous place. Most of us stand with Canada and Ukraine but no one can bring Trump to reason. I really think Trump is plain outride stupid. Please keep fighting for Canada.

Nothing but one man’s ego costing us all. We all weren’t born Rich buddy!

Tariffs make no sense!! Which leads me to believe trump is tanking the stock market on purpose so that the rich can buy the dip!! That or trump just wants to prove everyone wrong and proof that his tariff theory will work for US!! What a ?

Americans only care abot trump and his buddies getting rich while they slide further into poverty ,while at the same time trump is supporting putin and totally disregarding the needs of Americans

One disagreement Mr Trudeau: Trump is “very smart guy”? Nope. He certainly is “clever” which is what delineates smart from “criminal con man”. Clever is what he uses for his grift, with American citizens and the national stage as his target market, to line his pockets along with the pockets of his cronies, the ultra rich. The bright note is that there is a huge collective of Americans who see Trump for what he is. We are NOT supportive of any of this nonsense since 1/20/2025. Musk/Trump/Vance are an embarrassment we did not vote for. We stand with Ukraine, Canada, and Mexico who echo normal reason.

Hahahaha back down from a fight? Who protects your ass ? Who makes you rich ?

For the racist Americans who chose an idiot who has the business finesse of a 5 year old ( bankrupted a casino where the house always wins...Damn!!!) sit back and cheer!! If you think ? the rich will bale you out then you are the biggest of A-holes. Enjoy the clown ? show and kudos to Canada!!!! Note: the key to drug abuse is not the drugs BUT the drug users and abusers. That's just a distraction people!! ??

I agree with him ?% BUT the biggest problem is that Trump doesn't care about non-rich Americans.

They're not doing this to push canada into anything. They're doing it to make up for the massive tax cuts for the rich -_-

And let me be very clear to all your black minorities Mexicans Indians Haitian whoever voted for these white National Republicans and how Hitler Donald j Trump and let me be very clear to you all yes you sold your souls for the mighty Dollar just like a lot of other black people minorities Mexicans Indians and dark skin people in this country yes you all have messed up terribly you cannot trust these white privileged people here in this country to do best or what's best for us just look at the system look at the Lost systems that justice system the system is only here to protect white supremacist people organization gang members that's all they are KKK klu Klux klan's members in this country and they do run Washington DC they run the high position in this country of jobs and yes they are all in our armed forces military they are everywhereas black people you all minority whoever in military it's time to quit stop fighting the white people's war and dying for these rich white people when they won't go with their own people to save us but we would sacrifice our people 24/7 365 days a year for $500 years we've been losing our loved ones to protect these white privileged people here in this country and they have been stepping on everybody including other allies and other countries

Trump thinks the rich come first, countries come second, people come last.

I know they keep on saying that we're going to be rich but that's because the rich are going to get richer and the rest of us are going to get deadly poor

Trudeau has harmed Canadians way more than Trump ever could. It's really rich to hear this speech from his mouth.

He’s surrounded and being gassed up by greedy and power hungry men, which is simply fitting as he too is a power hungry and greedy man. That said, ? the poor will eat rich, in Murikkka.

A true leader. Canada was lucky to have him. We’re stuck with someone who is purposely harming us and our livelihoods to benefit himself and his rich friends.

We expanded nato and spent billions and trillions making everybody else rich. You are brainwashed to think otherwise

The rich get tax cut and the poor get higher prices!

As an American, I am very sorry for this to Canada and Mexico. I didn't vote for this clown, I didn't vote for stupidity. This is really, really unnecessary and it's all about the f'ing rich. Our so called President is an idiot bafoon.

usa government just joined russia... europeans do not see usa as an ally anymore. not for the next 4 year. usa is isolating itself like russia and north korea did.\nremember global trade after ww2 is what made usa so rich. if you want to be great again you need to have allies, you need open markets... this is anything but making america great again.

Donald will not listen, nor will the poorly educated who voted for him, but everybody bar the rich will be adversely affected by his stupidity and cons....and economies around the World will be harmed especially in the US.

Trump is a criminal and the world's biggest traitor on record. He is not the brains behind it though. It is the rich right wingers like Musk and Putin. The US dies not get shared intelligence anymore because Trump is probably passing info to Putin. He is just a kao dog who would prefer to play golf and get told what to do. Stand firm Canada. The EU is with you and will help in any way it can. I feel the majority of the US is also on your side, and I do not see Trump finishing his term in Washington. I think the people are protesting a lot now, and it is rising!

Trudeau should have told you REPUBLICAN idiots exactly what Dipstick Trump is doing! TRUMP is doing the TARIFF thing to make up for all the TAXCUTS he is giving the RICH (taxcuts which NO average US taxpayer will receive) and now YOU are going to pay more for everything! Just remember, Canadians will still get the same amount of money from the sale, BUT the price to all of YOU will be 25% higher. You MAGA AMERICANS need to have your 2 BRAINCELLS talk to each other instead of complaining about anyone of color, sexual preferences or ideas that are different to yours

Why did I support Trump? Damn what a mistake, he's obviously a Putin puppet, he doesn't care about the working class, he only cares about the rich. He seems to be trying to destroy America purposely.\nI am a two war veteran and I stand with Canada and Ukraine.

Good for trudeau. Trump is attacking his allies and his people cause he's a coward. He won't attack the real evil cause he's afraid. All he wants to do is make the rich richer. Why can't the people see it. This is how dangerous trump is.

Think about this a minute. Trump invokes a tariff and the stock market drops. The rich buy up all this stock, while a middle class and poor suffer. He’ll get what he wants and pull the tariffs and stocks will rise, making him and his friends richer at the expense of all the hard working Canadians and Americans. Food for thought

This administration will go down at the worst administration in all history of America. The people that voted for Trump will go down as the same despicable traders cool in all of American history. I hope you hear that what he says you’re great great kids you’re great great grandkids will understand by itself. You cannot wipe that out. You can’t burn that book. You can’t change that note They will be talking about economy classes. They gonna be talking about this history classes they gonna be talking about Trump and JD Vance and this administration has the worst administration modern day America even in the past the worst thing that’s gonna happen is all of these guys who find himself alienated when they die. They will find himself alienated. Their kids will find himself alienated of their existence. The only way their kids is gonna escape that they have a daughters The only way you gonna escape that as a man who is back in this administration is to have daughters that could change their fucking name other than that any mail that is from these despicable despicable if you watch the movie, the despicable, even the guy that was the biggest biggest most craziest most narcissistic, OK we talk about the dude with all the minions minions. He even had a common sense and had a understanding and had a heart this administration talk about Biden talk about bull talk about Obb like they did something different. They didn’t do something different Obama Bush and NN and Biden did way better this administration they tagged the republican party for years to come. I hope you remember that no one in their mind will vote for Republican for years to come. I guarantee that, you let me give you 50 cash OK you don’t got businesses I could hop in and out of this country on a private plane or even take first class you guys are stuck here. Don’t talk to me about shit now because I got currency different countries, bro so when I’m talking to you, I’m talking to you low life concept of a plan. I ain’t talking to the plan. The plan is for the rich. I got money. I qualify for what he’s giving mequalify for what he’s giving me. Your ad administration is giving me I qualify but but what about you guys?

You know most business self for million dollars you know most houses if you put them in transfer them they into like businesses with real substance they can sell for $1 million but do you guys know that no you don’t so when I’m speaking to you guys I hope none of you come back with your little turbo controlling shit because most of you broke you concept truck drivers low level budget you guys are low budget so I hope you guys understand and don’t come back to me with your low yeah yeah Donald Trump baby talk you understand what I just said don’t come back to me with that. I really make money you guys don’t your tax return is below 50,000 you guys gonna be in trouble? Good luck I stand with Canada.

The US Government only cares about themselves and the Rich

The Drug Thing is a Ruse to charge more inflation on the broke and vulnerable to line the pockets of the filthy rich pigs they are.

Trump wants a crash. It worked out well for the rich in 2008.

Trump hopes to use tariffs to pay for 50% of his tax cut for the rich. What has Trump done to cut the domestic demand of fentanyl?

As a German this is so hard to watch… the US is becoming a country of fascists. They hid their real intentions behind their fake faith in christ! They themselves put out fake news and propaganda out. Pls dear americans stand up for your rights and don’t let the lobbyists and the richest of the rich drive over you!!

MAGA idiots don't get that He doesn't care about YOU, only the RICH

I AM CANADIAN WE LOVE AND GET ALONG WITH ARE AMERICAN FRIENDS BUT YOUR LEADER MUSK SORRY I MEAN TRUMP ARE THE BAD GUYS TRUMP WILL LIE TO JUST TO SAVE HIS SOUL FOR 8 YEARS TRUMP HAS DONE NOTHING BUT LIE TO YOU AND THE WORLD FOR SOME REASON MANY AMERICANS LISTEN AND BELIEVE TRUMP MOSTLY MAGA VOTERS EVERY BODY WILL PAY THE PRICE BUT NOT TRUMP MUSK AND ALL THERE RICH FRIENDS THEY ONLY WANT TO CONTROL EVERY THING TRUMP IS ONLY ABOUT MONEY THATS ALL HE WANTS THE TIME HAS COME FOR THE WORLD TO STAND UP TO TRUMP AND THE GOP, TO THE GOP IF YOU ARE AFRAID OF TRUMP QUIT

I hope Canada And Mexico doesn't back down. Fucking hate Trump. Lies after Lies and guess what people defend him. Not My president people say. You voted for a dictator that lies through his fucking teeth, hes not going to change. Yall really thought him getting shot was the wake up call? That was his call for him being able to do no wrong, then they say oh you'd rather have Kamala? yes..... Yes I would..... look at our country idiots.... Not saying she would've been much better, but her team at least had common sense, trumps is a bunch of Rich sore losers who cant do nothing wrong.

What Trump wants is to eliminate the income tax on billionaires and compensate for that loss of tax revenue through the taxes paid by the middle class: tariffs. Thus the Ultra-rich become richer and the people become poorer (the tariff is paid by the importer of Mexican, Canadian, Chinese or European products)... good job, American voter!?
