Trudeau is being kind. tRump is a stupid, self-centered, vengeful spoiled, immature brat, who wants to punish everyone and anyone who may do as little as disagree with him. He will never apologize or admit he is wrong, but he will be cruel and heartless. We need to shame him and Vance and impeach them and all the MAGAs who support them.

USA. You are really f..ked to do such stupid thing. West changed to Far Far East.

I voted for Trump and a lot of his policies and actions I agree with, THIS one I do not, Canada did not let in NEARLY as many illegal immigrants as Mexico so it makes no sense why he is punishing them, and he isn't, he just doesn't like Trudeau probably because he was friends or friendly with Biden, same with Zelensky AND Canada wanted to ban products from red states for electing him which is frankly just a stupid policy. \nThis is not hard to figure out, Trump doesn't like Trudeau and Ford, plain and simple......it really is THAT shallow, he is trolling Trudeau by calling them the 51st state and anyone know knows Trump and how he thinks knows that.

I will make one correction. Trump is a very stupid man. Nothing smart about him.

Trudeau is far from perfect. He has done some stupid stuff during his time as PM and before he was PM. But I will never doubt his love for Canada and appreciate him standing up to the Trump Administration. Yes, of course he has a speech writer. But so does the president and well, one is articulate and the other is a blabbering idiot. I'll let you decide which is which. Hint: the one speaking here is the articulate one. ?

As an American right now i feel more strongly patriotic for my Canadian brothers than my own government. We should be the best of friends and allies this is such a stupid fucking step for trump to take. He's destroying our alliances. I only hope our relationship isn't irreparably damaged before his four years are up. As a western new yorker who has lived by the falls all my life, im really saddened to see this. Sorry.

Trump Will Make America Broke With His Stupid Traiffs For Normal Business In America

Thanks Trump thanks for being stupid. Now you're stupidity will definitely put us in a recession.

TRUMP is real life THANOS.? He is slightly more stupid though.?

As an American all I can say is I don't support this and I stand with the Canadian people on this...more Americans opposed than supported this stupid move, Trump is a Traitor in my eyes and a stupid one at that.

On behalf of my family in CT. I apologize for this stupid action by the U.S. government.

With a dumb, degenerate convict in the white house stupid things are bound to happen.

'Donald oh Donald... you are stupid.... You wouldnt pass the Macroeconomics 101 class in any serious university worldwide'

It's incredibly sad when world leaders have to call out trumps lies on the international stage because our own public is too stupid to realize them

Ignorant Americans (which seems to be a majority of us now days) only know what a “Tariff” is based on what Trump says it is, and Trump doesn’t know ? about what they are and how they function (even if it is his favorite word in the dictionary). And the leadership of our government are chicken-? when they won’t stand-up and correct him when he makes stupid remarks about stuff like having an “External Revenue Service”. What a f*ucking joke!\n\nAmerica first is America alone… We deserve all the ? that you’re dishing-out to us! Give us hell!!!

As an American, all I need to know is that trump and VD vance support Vladimir Shitin and Russia. trump chose to break the trade treaty that HE signed and stated recently that it must have been made by a very STUPID President. I couldn't agree more! And Mr. Trudeau, there is one thing with which we disagree. I think trump is a VERY stupid person!

That is way that a true leader speaks, not like the stupid , ignorant, and Putin Ass Kisser that we have now for president!

Bye bye America - ŷou are going to ruin your marketplace share and the world will turn its back on you, nobody will willingly cooperate with you and American goos will be priced out of the market, work will stop in America soon enough because others will seek other economic partnerships …. Stupid … trump will ruin you …. He’s a nut job … I see civil war in the states before long in whatever form that takes … the ones that will suffer will be the American people because it’s you who will be paying these tariffs if you want foreign goods. If nobody buys from you your inflation will soar. You have put your trust in a criminal who uses other people’s money to buy his way out of jail.

You are a very intelligent man. Tell that orange guy like it is!! He is stupid! We will suffer here! Don’t let him humiliate you, Mexico china like he does

So good to hear an intelligent, articulate statement from Trudeau. In comparison to STUPID tRUMP!!

As an american this is silly as hell. White ppl rather go broke and look stupid and be russias slave. The black and latino ppl that voted for trump did it just be a maverick. Now everyone looks stupid and are about to really fuck up some shit. Smh suckas

Yes stupid men go get there ass kicked every day\nYou have blocked AB oil and gas from going anywhere other than us\nSo Trump can shut down CANADAS oil patch \nThat will destroy CANADA \nOIL money is what pays the bills Trump can shut it off today \nMake a deal with Rusha and never take another barrel from canada again

Trump is an ignorant, arrogant and stupid, uneducated person who does not understand anything about our economy.

Cry cry cry oh Canada....especially you The master Embezzler Trudeau...I thought you were done, leave already...sick of your voice & stupid elitist smirk

Trump haters: Tariffs are fucking stupid\nCanadians: Yea put tariffs on thier ass! \n??

Trump is pure evil or so stupid or both

CNN correspondence never gives the more impactful concerns - in this case, the concern should be the fact that DT is attacking Canada, our friends, and Mexico, our friends - because he's a fkn traitor - and the US Constitution that says it's our American duty to stop people like him. The government and the common people must be overlooking these crimes and willing to give up their rights and freedoms. The original KGB and the long running Putin agenda is the slow game in his global conquest for power. You have to consider the geopolitics. If Mexico and Canada won't defend us (because they hate Trump) DT can/will sell out America to Russia, in turn Canada would be the closest place to conquer, then Mexico. It's stupid tho, unless the UN stands back and watches this happen too. Think I'm bullshittin, reading too far into things, but I'm not. Nobody is at the wheel but Trump, and he doesn't even know how to drive. You, the people and corporate new media will never read far enough to get the entire picture. Krasnov stole the Country to handicap us in the Cold War, except the War is white hot. He's in line with Hitlers handbook. And don't forget, that Nazis were white people who had no problem offing white people. Just sayin. Nobody is safe in Trump country. It's all Biffed up now.

Y know what is really stupid? Are the American businesses ready for Canadian goods,parts and materials replacements? Of coarse no.THEN WHY Redhair freak started the trade war now? He set Americans same way as he does with Canadians.Then who really needs it ? HIM.THAT REDHAIR FOOL IN ORDER TO PERFORM ON VIDEOCAMERAS ONE MORE DAY showing own toughness.He would rather show it to his wife and kids conservative way he likes.

Stupid guy

Such a smart man, I wish we had him for President! Not the uneducated stupid clown we have! People! Don’t be fooled, this isn’t about fentanyl! Watch closely people, this is Dump smoking mirrors into stealing from all of us! And in the meantime we will be paying the price for his stealing!!!

Love from Oregon! Hit us hard, Canada! Show all these stupid trump supporters that the rest of the world won't put up with them voting for a dictator! He's a lying felon, and i can't believe we have to deal with this. Just know many many many americans also did not want this and stand with our longest ally! Go Canada!

Everything shows Trump and Elon are lying about everything they're doing. You elect a stupid criminal you get stupid crimes. Our Christians and corporations made this Republican criminality possible. Even some of the maga have a little spine left and are opposing Trump. Too little too late, though.

Maga ??? u stupid mf single Handley destroyed America. Your incapable of seeing beyond your hate you'd rather burn than to let everyone be equal only to still fail because we are equally feel this war eggs are 11$ stmf

Trump is a bully and stupid person ?

So we are charging 50% now? Because we were already charging 25%. The US just matched what we were charging. This is beyond stupid.

Pointless to try and reason with Drumpf (Trump). He's too corrupt to care and too stupid to know.

Trump isn’t a “smart guy”. He’s president because the average US voter is very, very stupid.

No, Trump is actually very dumb! That is why this is happening with our neighbors, Canada and Mexico! We are sorry for our stupid president....no respect for him at all

Trudeau is a stupid ,corrupt out-going liberal leader in Canada, gallivanting in Europe and siding with Ukraine!!??? what did you exspect? your neighbor is against everything you sided with, you dumb schmuck liberal and you spent money over seas instead of home!!!??? you deserve to be imprisoned for treason

Watching this is amazing. I'm no fan of Trudie, but right now he's doing alright.\nI hate to tell the Americans watching, we did try to tell you and personally I feel for less than half of your people. The fact that the blue leaning public had to so dumb as to use THIS election to show your dissatisfaction with Biden and Harris is leading many people around the world to wonder if America is even worth worrying about at all. How can you's be this stupid you're no better than the MAGA crowd.

❤ Canada. We, the sane, non-MAGAt Americans, also do not want this, nor did we vote for this because we did NOT vote for an obviously mentally ill, functionally illiterate, elderly man with signs of dementia, whose main function besides destroying our country to enrich himself & all of his millionaire & billionaire buddies, is acting as a useful idiot pain for Putin. We, the Americans who value what our country has stood for, whose fathers & and grandfathers fought in both World Wars, who lived in the time before all of the current vaccines existed, who believe in equality, who value the immigrants--documented or undocumented, who believe our country should welcome them & make their paths to citizenship easier because we understand how our country & economy benefit from them living in this country, who understand & value the roles that the WHO, NATO, & the United Nations have played in keeping us ALL safer for many decades bc we REMEMBER or were told by our parents, what it was like b4 those things existed, who either lived thru The Great Depression or had parents & grandparents did, understand what the economic crisis that Trump & his band of greedy ahole idiots are deliberately causing. WE didn't do this. WE fought against it. We tried to explain & warn people about what is happening & what will happen, but you didn't EFFING LISTEN. WE are ANGRY. WE will NOT help any of you who caused this & this includes every MSM who is too afraid to speak truth to power. Start doing that NOW. Start with THIS: It's called The Gulf of Mexico, NOT the Gulf of America. Eff every Trump supporters & GOP politician--at EVERY level of government. Trump can TRY to hide what he's doing to the economy in his stupid reports. Do you honestly believe the average American pays attention to those? No, most are too busy worrying over how to pay their bills & all they'll see is that their situation is getting worse. They can't find a job. They can't afford gas. They can't afford groceries. You can't cover any of that up. WE stand with Canada, Ukraine, the EU, & every other ally nation. Not Russia. Putin can go straight to hell & the sooner the better.

Trump wants a literal war with Canada. He wants his name in history book. That's all it's to him, just like for Putin. Sick evil people.\n\nWhen he's going to blame Canada for the destruction of USA stock market due to his stupid tariff war, he'll pretend that's a good excuse to take the country by force. This is just plain evil. America went in one generation from hopeful and peace loving nation to Putin's best friend. Sickening.\n\nWhat does Trump think his actions are going to do? Most of the world now hates him. Most of the world now hates Elon, and Tesla. He's a destroyer, not a builder.\n\nRepublican party and everyone working in right wing media, you happy now? You happy that Putin is able to take over entire country because of your bigotness and hatred for minorities? You're going to get your FAFO too one day, that's the revolution that will not be fought with words of appeasement or be as miserable failure as Jan 6.

An american living in Germany. The Canadians were (and are) my neighbors. I grew up in Maine, and no one one should piss off Canadians, it can only go bad. But EXACTLY that is what trump wants, that everything goes bad. It is not only going bad, everything is going to shit, my fellow americans are too stupid to notice or care. This is gonna really backfire for the usa, either Civil War, or WW3, trump wants nothing less.

Donald Trump is not a smart man, he is a stupid ignorant, small minded vile human being, he belongs in prison.

As a none american, it's mind-boggling how ignorant and stupid the american people who voted for wannabe dictator Trump as your president.

Why are we only retaliating only 25%, slap stupid Trump with 50% tariffs as he thinks he has all the power in the world. I hope all the world leaders stick together & shut this idiot down!!!

As a U.S. citizen, I agree with Trudeau. I can only hope the rest of the USA can stop being stupid.

This idiot is already writing an apology speech to trump. Tell his stupid ass to shut up

Stupid trump

America, don't think that Canada, Mexico, Europe and more and more countries only hold dictator Trump and his dictator wanna-bee Vance responsible for this! More than half of the American people voted for him and therefore also for their backward stupid policies!
