If this is allowed to continue.. USA will look like Russia in a few years!\nNo doubt in my mind.\nThis is exactly what a DICTATOR would do! Make himself and his friends so rich and powerful, control the media, so no one can challenge you.. And in a few years time, there will be a incredible difference between rich and poor in America.. Just like Russia.. Like night and day! Those who are rich, are very rich, those in the middle class, will have less and less.. This is going to be a reality guys.. I'm sorry..

TRAMP will make and making america GREAT again.????????????????????????? USA next time wote for another uneducated douchebag to meke america even more greater.??????????? and by the way when tramp was shot, i doubt he got shot in the EAR. IT CLEARLY HE WAS SHOT IN THE HEAD. HE GOT BRAIN DAMAGE .????????

Why is Trump making America look bad. We are screwed

America must now feel that voting for Trump will not make America great again, only lonely. They will soon bitterly regret this selfish path. The free world can also defend itself in this senseless trade war. It's a shame for the decent Americans who will also be affected by this.

Congratulations Americans. Donald is making America great again, and he is doing a wonderful job ?

It might sound surreal, but I hope that the orange fas*i$t will destroy our economy. I'm afraid that this is the only way to wake up the remaining fanboys from their daydream that this president (not my president) will make America great again. It makes me sick that he has sided with russia, the most evil regime since Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, and acts like a brutal bully with our best friends and closest allies.

Let's not become anti-American. Let's just become more pro-Canadian. Thinking too much of America has put us in this situation. Left or right on the political spectrum. Let's just make our parties put US first, not U.S.

Make America Great again? With Donald Duck? To People who voted for him. Start covering your ASS-HOLE???because its starting to get STINK. VERY STINK.

Who convinced Trump of this? I like him but this trade war against Canada isn’t the way to go, really. I feel Canadians were mistakenly targeted. US needs allies not foes. Proud of Trudeau for the first time. I don’t live in the US but in Canada at the moment, not Canadian either, but I’m very objective in my perception about these occurrences. I hope America makes peace with Canada so strengthen both sides, hmmm.

I support Canada ??! Trump is destroying everything like he did with his casinos. How will any of this make America Great? It doesn’t. And Republicans are equally responsible for ALL that is happening. Do they honestly think we Americans will accept what is happening? Think again. We have the ballot box and will use it.

This is not about tariffs. It is about Trump unravelling all of America's relationships with its allies, to make the country weaker, in the service of Putin. Canada is just the first. But Europe will be next. Then America stands alone, too weak to be a world leader.

Is it really that hard to understand that we wanted this so we voted for trump?? You don't understand, we are ready to sacrifice ourselves for President Trump and his mission to Make America Great Again.????? #PROJECT2025

It’s America don’t understand what you doing you were defender from dictators and now turn on thinks not makes sense

Take into account the fact that this guy arrested, confined, fined and confiscated property of his own fellow Canadians citizens and starved people out during the pandemic. Canada has not prospered but will thrive if they make the deal with America. Globalists are kicking and screaming all the way down.

Nothing Trump does makes sense. He’s an utter embarrassment. He’s making our country look like a backwards, oppressive, “pile of garbage”. If any MAGA bothered to research is life back to the 70’s and 80’s they’d find Trump was NEVER good at business. He was good at running them into the ground. He hasn’t a republican cell in his body. He doesn’t care which party or what ideology anyone is, so long as they’re naive and ignorant enough to buy his lies and bullshit. It’s just all about Trump. Everything he’s doing is contrary to making America great. Ironic that there are many so-called Christians who support him, when he fits the biblical description of the Antichrist a bit too well. It’ll take decades to restore America’s standing in the world, because that narcissistic, bloated, power-hungry, piece of shit wants to keep attention centered on him. He’s doing all he can to keep us stupid, and brainwashed, because anyone who’s intelligent, and has any level of critical thinking poses a threat. When will the orange Kool aid wear off?…and btw, I’m not a liberal. I’m not a democrat. I’m rational.

IT'S NOT THE UNITED STATES BABOSO. IT'S TRUMP, VANCE AND MUSK! TRUMP IS NOT A SMART MAN! IT'S ALL ABOUT HIM AND NOT EVEN HIS FOLLOWERS. IT'S JUST HIM. KISS THE RING! I'M TRYING TO SAVE UP FOR MY RETIREMENT. IT WILL ALL BE GONE, GONE. MY NEST EGG GONE.! MAGA, MAKE AMERICA GARBAGE AGAIN!

This will hurt america way more than it will hurt Canada! Canadians are used to tightening their belts and pulling together and remember that when our trade deals are ratified with other countries and those relationships are built and new trade routes are forged bypassing the u.s. then the u.s. will be a stand alone country wait until Canadas oil and gas and electricity is turned , and let's talk about Canadas potash and just about everything else will be gone let's not forget about tourism because instead of making north America stronger Canada will be stronger and once we start getting fair market value for Canadian energy and our national debt is gone then it'll be bye bye Americans. You won't be the stronger nation on earth very much longer. Is America joining Russia as a new communist agreement.

Totally correct there Sir,Trump and Vance where way out on line with Zelensky and bet it will back fire on them both.That makes America look weaker than Biden

The line has been crossed. America is now an enemy and axis power. Make no mistake about it. This is not posturing on the Republican side. It's deliberate, planned, and thought out. Trump IS on Russia's side.

It's truly unbelievable how many individuals allow themselves to be gaslighted.....blinded by their TDS it no longer matters if anything is good for America...cnn knows the full context of that meeting and how disrespectful ZELENSKY was...but it doesn't matter showing clips to make trump look bad is what matters

Blistering speech? lol Trudeau is an authoritarian idiot, socialist. We need him gone. Thank your lucky stars you have Trump making America great again.

Trump is just doing Putin's bidding. Make America Great Again? Boy he sure had the USA fooled. I blame failings in the education system - too many school shootings and not enough reading.

Lets go back to the roots to see if what comes or leads to this tariffs issue. We have to clean all the mess before we can rebuild and make America great again.

Hopefully this is a big wake-up call to Canada that it’s time to stop relying so much on America for trade and start making deals with other countries.

Trump chose to do this its not Canadas choice and I simple do not see how its justified. This is a tax on Americans make no mistake its OUR prices that will go up as well as Canadians. This sure smells of Russian influence to me, its almost as if Trump is trying to hurt America, he is for sure tearing up the Government. If Putin had a wish list separating us from our staunch allies would be #1

I think President Trump should make America great again on it's enemies not allies. Get some around the country and to help make it greater again tho

This Canadian president is a leader.!!! Canada wont stand alone with out getting world wide support USA have been a superpower for decades and a true democratic country that the world admired. Today this have come to a end. 2025 will go down in history for the year when Americas greatness and No1 econemy ended. The respect and the trust for USA under Trump is long gone!!! For Trump to put tarifs on canada just to make them suffer so trump can get Canada as its 51 state is mindblowing. Trump aint putting those tarifs on Canada because of fentanyl when it comes from china. Tarifs on China is another story but that will hit the US market to and companys. I cant belive the americans are just swallowing this whole without doing anything or can a president do whatever damage he wants without consequenses?

Make America Great Again? How about make America the laughing stock of the entire world?

We gave them an opportunity to make them our 51st state. America is not a charity!

Trump wanted to make America great? Stock market went down prices went up ..gas price went up...and now wood will probably go up too....yelow head rich filthy

From Mexico … ?? we love our neighbors USA ?? and Canada ?? … we need too work together!!! Let’s make North America stronger and unified again !!!!

what are you doing trump, don't listen to Elon musk don't let him run this country or Vladimir putin I thought you were the tough guy make America grow , not to destroy it . put your shit together .

Got to love how Justin has to talk to Trump. Like a kid. We have done big things and you're a smart boy. Got to praise the cult leader to make him happy. I truly wish Justin was our president. What a great person and he speaks clearly and is smart. He isn't annoying or an idiot like trump. We truly live in the stupid timeline. Canada is going to get their items from Europe and Asia and South America. So congratulations America we are about to lose so much. Trump is making us weaker.

I don’t think this is a big deal for Americans at all. This is their response for something that doesn’t affect us all that much. Stop making America the one who has to pay the expenses of everyone else. I support the tariffs and think even more should be done. MAKE NATIONALISM GREAT AGAIN.

Trump is Putins greatest creation ! Trump supporters how do you still pretend he stands for MAKE AMERICA GREAT. we look weak, stupid and risky investment !

No America! This is not MAGA. This is MaRGA - Make Russia Great Again! Wake up

Little Trump is not a president nor is he a businessman. He’s a scared little rat a draft dodger and think America if he was afraid to fight in the war then what makes us think that he would protect us now he’s a scared rat. He’s afraid of his own shadow. The family kids and the grandchildren are the ones that are going to feel the damage he will do to this country in four years. I feel so sorry for our men and women in the military now and our veterans are taking a pounding very sad . He’s only doing it to benefit for his own greed. Very sad human being. He’s miserable he’s depressed. You can see it in his face. He was a piece of shit to the American people before he ever even thought of being a president he owes contractors millions of dollars through his life no wonder he has a bull’s-eye on his back and they say he can’t sleep at night well, I wonder why he fucked the American people and he will keep fucking American people nobody will stop him He will keep fucking us until he’s done. And after all that damage that he will do to this country, in the four years it will be so damaged. It will never heal.

Remember Trudeau just like zenkesky failed to remember that it's not Joe in charge anymore someones in there that will not be disrespected an told what when or he was what's going to happen an especially in the position everyone is in America is not going to be a sucker no more an show love to other countries we don't get back no love now let's make if fair across the board an the tarrifs are great us people just want some of there needs an security but we're trillions in debt an no body seems to help or care or even say anything about it an the saddest part of it all is president trumps fault that how stupid people an brainwashed that the left had left on them hate in the there hearts

Can't make our case any better than that Justin Trudeau! Well done! Trump and his minions are ruining America's status as being the leader of the free world. Most American citizens want their country back to the way it was ... leader of the free world. Donald Trump has to be stopped!

We're sorry world, we got corporate America attacking and infiltrating our gov. We got a bad case of stupid making its rounds and unfortunately, they're in the middle of FAFO.

Wrong! We’re going to create more jobs in America because we need to rely less on imports from other countries and more on what we make right here in the United States. It’s called economics 101.

Trumps small, petty ego battles are very costly to the average American and to lives around the world. Trump does not care. He is incapable of empathy. His ego battle and extortion racket with Zelenskyy is costing lives. Trump doesn't care. A hundred thousand extra lives were lost during Covid in America because of Trumps, ignorance, lies and disinformation. Trump didn't care. Lives were lost in Haiti because of Trumps hurricane response incompetence. Trump could have cared less. Trump sold out the Kurds in Syria. Thousands of lives were lost. Trump didn't care. He's a sick man and American voted him in. Now we have to live with it. Here in America, there is going to be a step too far. For half of America, Trump is way passed that. Dictators only respond to strength. Thank you Canada for making a strong and firm stand.

Make America great again ???

Trump wants to make America great again. Well, he has a strange way of doing it its time

Its extremly puzzling why Trump is intent on causing chaos. What is the end goal, that is what people should be asking. Is it that he just doing it to stamp his authority to back up his slogan make America great again or is there an alterior motive. If its the former he is just destroying the respect poeple had for America. His obsession with imposing tariffs when he is in power must benefit him someway.

I have been a pro-America citizen for almost 79 years, but our administration is dead wrong. Canada is the best neighbor we could possibly have, and we have slapped them in the face. This administration loves authoritarian leaders and dismisses the interests of our long-time friends and allies. Why would we ever believe our president when he promises to make life better for us. He does not care for any of us, unless we are one of the few with money and/or power.

Trump will be speaking (whining)to a joint session of Congress today,which will be nothing but lies and grievances, and nothing about helping Americans. Trump is not playing with a full deck,both mentally and politically .He has no idea what he's doing because he's incompetent. He lied to the American people and he will never makes America great again.

“I am Canadian, and I support Trump because our leaders are a joke. They delay pipelines, restrict the open market, and refuse to trust foreign investment from China or overseas. Instead of strengthening the economy, they bring in a million immigrants while ignoring real growth. If we’re going to rely on America anyway, we should join it becoming the 51st state would make North America stronger.\nIf Canada retaliates against the U.S., it won’t be the government that suffers it’ll be us. Our leaders look weak and desperate. \nWith 25% tariffs, Canada is heading for economic disaster. Companies are moving to America, jobs are disappearing, and our future is at risk. Look at Europe 23 countries share the euro and open borders. We should do the same by becoming 51st state.\nIt’s time to negotiate with Trump and secure real benefits more businesses, better telecom, cheaper flights, lower food costs, affordable housing, a shared currency, and the right to bear arms. Canada would be stronger and wealthier as part of America.”?? ??????\nWe are still Canadians

Trump supporters are not real Americans. They chose hate and racism over saving their own country This is not how you make America great. Nothing good will come from electing convicted felon and the wealthiest man on earth

I truly hate that so many of us are being lumped in with the traitors that are running the government now. We did not vote to have a convicted felon in the seat of the president or all the unqualified IDGITS that were appointed to serious decision-making positions that can destroy this country. For the traitorous, racist, sexist, stupid, and pathetic losers who voted for the destroyers of america, there is a space in hell for you all! Disgusting!!!!!
