I absolutely love this! An educated stance, Trump could learn something from him! This is what a leader looks like! Good for the people of Canada! Stand up to bullies, flight for your people! Trump is an idiot! I voted for Kamala!!

In Trumps Mind BULLYING FRIENDS is EASIER that Actual Bullies/Tough Guys.

It is critically important that the whole world wake up and recognise the Trump government for what it is, recognise the world order has fundamentally changed. Insight will follow as to how to tackle bullies. Writing this with an exetremely heavy heart.

GREAT!!. The whole world needs to stand up to this disgusting, bullying, ignorant, demented fool in the White House and his spineless quislings in the U.S. Congress. These tariffs are about nothing other than Trump's need to bully and exact retribution against everyone who he thinks has screwed, cheated and disrespected him, which in his mind is just about everyone in the world except Putin.

As a Canadian, I'm actually proud of Prime Minister Trudeau. Canadians stand up to bullies, GOP need to be afraid (politically) of their constituents not Trump!

As a European i FULLY support Canada against this economic bullying.\nI hope Trump not only puts 25% on us Europeans, but 100%!! Let's go. 2 can play this game.\nTo all my Canadian friends, you can be rest assured that i'll vote for politicians that want to work with Canadians, Mexicans AND Chinese!

Bravo Canada. I didn't vote for Trump and I can't explain why any American with critical thinking skills would. Yet many Americans voted for a bully whose main interest is serving himself and not those wo voted for him. I can explain why someone like Trump would want power - I can't explain why voters would want that person in control of their lives.

You are full of crap - Canada has better control over its borders. It’s the U.S. has a problem with its borders. AND Canada put controls on the border before Trump’s bullying and threats. Get your facts straight.

Ahh, so this is why the US was bitch slapping us. It is no wonder that our media are not reporting this because it allows them to point to Trump the bully and Canadians eat that shit up. It also benefits Trudeau as Poilievre has positioned himself as a Trump ally.

OHH Trump! Blame Canada you little New York, School yard bully as always.We're f'n proud of you, America!

I can envision a situation where Trump targets Australia next with his aggressive policies. In response, we should consider implementing a boycott against American products and establish tariffs on imports from the United States. It's essential that we stand firm and refuse to let Trump and his administration intimidate us into submission. Australia deserves to protect its interests and maintain its sovereignty in the face of such bullying tactics.

Trump is bully, trash and toxic ???

US internal society problems will not be solved by sendind migrants away. Anyway when you promote a hyper policial and militarist state once the foreigners are bullied the state starts to bully it's citizens, first the foreigners than, in case of the US, the non Trump followers. Trump is unleashing a violent spiral that ultimatly will also attack him. It's so beccause it is trigerred by paranoia with megalomania and endless willingness to have power. Trump does not care for others, and does not care even for americans.

I don’t like Bullies and trump is a bully\n\nSo for me, I’m putting Made in America products LAST. If there are alternatives to American products then I buy alternatives . \n\nSomethings are unavoidable- like apple products but I buy 1 new iPhone every 4 to 5 years. \n\nHouseholds don’t have to buy many high tech American products. We don’t have to buy American cars or refrigerators or ovens. \n\nI don’t drink Starbucks or eat macdonalds. I prefer smaller local cafes and support local businesses. \n\nIt’s impossible to be pure. But just because it isn’t doesn’t mean that American companies won’t feel the pain\n\nI won’t holiday in the USA either.

I expect Trump to implement tariffs on the EU, after the election in Germany. If he did it before, the German voters might be reminded of how much sense it makes to be in the EU, which is strong enough to stand up to the US and its bully in chief. People might be less prone to vote for the party that wants to leave the trading block (AfD).

Thank you Trump for uniting us Canadians. Never been this proud to be one. We were there for the US during tough times and being betrayed as such. EU, embrace yourself, clearly trump has no regards to allies. This teaches all of us a lesson, we can not depend on the US for anything. Let’s see who’s gonna laugh till the end. Once we don’t depend on the US, see how much power they r gonna hold over us all. Stand up to that bully -Trump

DONALD TRUMP IS BULLY & TRULY DICTATOR! IS RUINING OUR VALUES & RELATIONSHIP TO ALL OUR ALLIES. HE SHOULD BE IMPEACHED AGAIN BEFORE AMERICA’S MELTDOWN. HE IS INSANELY OUT OF HIS MIND ALREADY IN HIS AGE. IT SHOULD BE DECLARE THE 25th AMENDMENT NOW TO REMOVE HIM FROM OFFICE BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!! HE IS BEEN ONLY 12 DAYS IN HIS PRESIDENCY AND HE ALREADY CREATED A LOTS OF CHAOS TO OUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY??❤️?

Trump wants to be the clown, canada dosnt mind being the circus, good job boys stand your ground against the bully

The only winners from all these decisions started by Trump the Bully , are the Russians , the Chinese and North Koreans ! Well done!

This is why Trump will occupy panama and Greenland, he will control the trade routes from west to east. This means that canada, mexico and the eu will not have any leverage in trade with countries outside of usa.\nUsa will bully and deliberately weaken his allies in order to punish china and strengthen the usa

Trump is a bully. He will back down when his own people starts turning on him

People, don't forget that Trump is temporary and he is not the US! Unfortunately, we all have to pay by the US citizens bad choice, even the dudes that have choosen him! But we need to see beyond Trump and stay united! China and Putin are smiling with all this western divisions... They are the ones that win with our desagreaments....Putin new it, and is that why he bought Trump... Canada, EU and UK already dealt with Trump, now they have to do that again... It's necessary to answer him, but don't let that bully divide us!!!

Americans are a great people but they are being lead by a bully. I was with trump until now but bullying a close friend and ally like Canada is not the American way

Trump is a foolish bully! Canada, we in Australia stand with you!

Trump is a bully. He demanded 500 billion dollars from Saudi so they give 600 billions . Did that stop him . Noooo… He is asking now for a trillion! Other countries paid attention !

Trump is a bully

Canada should sell to Europe and arab countries. Everyone should stick together against this trump bully.

We Brits are 100% behind Canada, we were always for free trade and imposing tariffs is nothing short of bullying by Trump. I will be boycotting US goods with immediate effect ... two can play that game !!!

Trump is being a bully here

ALLAHU AKBAR all tariff will be lifted inshaallah, after reforms, Trump stop bullying their is no winners in terrif and sanctions

Trump does NOT have the skills to negotiate he only bullies. Mr. Bone spurs is obsessed with making ppl fear him and his petulant need to come across as the big bad wolf is laughable considering he wears diapers!!! ?????. NEVER back down to a bully

Trump need to understand it’s not all about America ?? alone you lead the whole world not bullying

Let's be clear. Mexico and Canada are delusional Trump is going to destroy you. China better quit playing too. This country ain't weak and now that Trump is in office we aren't going to be bullied. It's time for everyone to snap out of the Barack Obama and Joe Biden spell and get back to reality. Trump is not playing. It's over.

Im a Canadian and only % of drugs or people go across our boarders so what Trump is saying is again not true. Americans kill Americans .... Canadians do not kill Americans. WE will not bow down to a bully. Trump cant manage his own drug problems so he has to blame others. Canadian will work hard and not buy American goods. We will do our part and stand with our governments decision on our Tariffs. Trump is a sick man and is acting like a spoiled child. He cant manage his own country so he attacks ours...Canada will be here standing strong long after Trump is gone.

As an American, I didn't vote for this clown. What Trump is doing right now is showing the world that the US\nis getting weaker and is in decline. He is using his bullying politics with Tariffs that are harming his Ally\nin Canada and Mexico. This will backfire. Both Canada and Mexico can join BRICS, and flip the US the finger.\nWhy? BRICS is cheaper and more profitable. The US dollar is worth less now and is declining as we speak.\nThis is a sign of weakness and desperate measures.

We stand against orange bully. Trump can’t threaten us.\nCanada strong ?? ❤??❤️

TRUMP pushing back.on the liberal bullies . Pushing comunism and ripping offthe american people. We don't need your products anyway . Keep voting for crooks that run your countries for decades now. Going to buy a tesla to support free speach and doge .

Good to see Justin standing up against the big Bully Donald Trump. Don't mess with Canada!

Proud to be a Canadian and proud of Justin Trudeau for standing up to a bully. No question it is going to be a bumpy road but I would rather be a Canadian then an American knowing Trump is in charge and doesn't care what he does to his people because he will have a job, a roof over his head, groceries on his table and gas in his motorcade. Impeach him before he does irreparable harm to the world. He doesn't care about you only your vote. He should never be in charge of the nuclear codes!!!

Trump should really look hard into the last time the US went to war with CANADA it really didn't end well for US. We are really only nice when treated with respect as we treat others. This does not mean we are a push over or that we can be bullied. My family has a lot of US friends and we are sure that don't want this either...but rest assured we will not back down....and we do not want to become part of your USA Trump by any means. You are a dictator and not even a very smart one.

The only problem is Trump behaves like a 4 year old. You can’t reason with them. Look what happens if you say no to a toddler. \nTantrum . This isn’t a regular bully, actually need the advisory of a phycologist on this one.

Trump just used it as reason to attack Canada and Mexico economy \nTo satisfy his hate for Canada and bully Mexico.

Trump's rationale of the border security issue to Canada is totally false as less than 1 percent of drugs and illegals come through Canada. Trump is just being a bully to try to get his way on tariffs for what he thinks is an economic decision to improve the USA. Unfortunately he is again wrong as Americans and Canadians will pay a lot more for goods and Trump will cause more inflation, ruin companies and many job losses across both nations.

I don't know why President Trump is trying to bully his neighbors with tariffs. Well, they are retaliating now. Let's see who suffers.

Even if I somewhat despise Trudeau, *I definitely root for Canada* with regards to the American bully-tactics and megalomaniac Trump. Canada should move even more towards Europe and align itself with its European brethrens. A given strategic win-win decision. *Hail Canada!*

Canada and Mexico need to respond with force, not just proportionately. Trump is a bully and bullies only respond to other bullies. Both countries should shut down Ford and General Motors factories which supply components to their US factories, as a start. When all the US CEO's start screaming at trump, he might listen.

It is hard to even believe the world has come to such a ridiculous, immoral place... I do not understand how people on the news can even discuss these things with a straight face..... Our president is wealthy.He is powerful.He does not have to do anything for anyone .. He is putting his tom energy, an effort and to our country out of the love of God add all of those that are intimidated for no reason by him misunderstand that God illuminates helm and others do not even understand why they hate him.... God does shine through people add. I can promise I have the same hate and people try to destroy me.And I am just a simple person... God is good and I am so happy and evidently, I shine way too bright, also, because my joy in the lord illuminates from me... When I go into a store to use the restroom, and the people working in there has the ability by just looking at me to call 911 and tell them I stole... Which the surveillance never lies..\nYou know something about me was so bothersome to those ladies they couldn't help themselves... But I did.However, receive massive legal problems for making up lies and wasting all fifteen cop cars of cops, they wasted it.... So people need to understand those that shine with God's glory are hated by those that don't serve God... People hate me when I am and giving to them. So it makes all the scents in the world why Trump goes through what he does.. the ones that our most amazing to me are those of the view.... They are so in awe of him.They cannot stop talking about him every day... And I do not even understand how ignorant they or because they are truly in awe of him, they can't manage themselves.... If people would just choose love and support our own president in our country, it would be amazing..\n. I'll bet the united states is the only country that has so much hate for our own people and president... why not just choose to wait and see what happens?Hoping for the best... That man tells us, uh, every time he speaks the most wonderful news we have ever heard... It is obvious by all of the people unable to handle themselves because of his amazing everything... Whoopi Goldberg is the most evil bully that lies like a dog. They let on tv

Go Go Mexico!!\nStay Strong !!\nCanada too will hit back hard with retaliatory tariffs.\nIf that’s the only way that America can learn\nThen let their pain begin\nIt’s time for countries to stand up to Trump and send a strong message that we will not be bullied!!

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.

Good for Columbia! Texas did it, dumped immigrants to sanctuary states, so, again good for Columbia. Good for Canada, Greenland, Japan, and a whole lot more standing against Bully Trump. Its so embarassing for our country!
