Trump has no idea of how to lead.\nHe has no economic plan put together by this adminstrstion on HOW to budget, devise C.R.s or negotiate with Congress regarding managing the economy of the US.\nTrump is a disgrace...not only for US, but all over the world, except to Russia.\nTrump needs to be impeached\nCongress needs to invoke the 25 amendment to save our nation from this tyranny he is imposing against our allies all over the world.

I’ve been predicting this since two years ago, this is my assessment for the near future: Putin’s euphoria about the USA abandoning Ukraine will be short lived. The EU is determined to finish the job in Ukraine. And it has three powerful triumph cards ?: 1. the $300billion Putin’s frozen money 2. The EU has an enormous capacity to build weapons in short time. Germany built 6 liquefied natural gas docking stations in 6 months, a world’s record. Ukraine has demonstrated that Russia is a paper tiger. Its drones have devastated not only the Russian tanks, but the oil refineries. Imagine if the E5 army (Germany, the UK, France, Poland and Italy) start producing weapons? Which they will. But the current weapons are ( the typhoon, grippen, mirage, Rafale ) more sophisticated than the old mig29 or the useless Su57. Russia doesn’t dare to try to dominate the Ukrainian airspace. And Ukraine, without a navy, destroyed 40% of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Even the flagship Moskva!! 3. But the most powerful weapon that the European Union has is the Almighty stable euro. The United States has been printing trillions of dollars and exporting them for years, they’re hiding under the mattresses of Third World countries for a rainy day. If the EU says we no longer will accept dollars, the United States will disappear overnight. The BRICS countries will pile up on the USA, which will be alone in the world. Hyperinflation and poverty will be the result. This ability to weaken the USA economy and currency, By simply saying we want to move away from that currency, will make Wall Street run away from it. The printed trillions that slowly flew out the country will fly back in days, creating a hyperinflation that Zimbabwe and Venezuela wish they had…. Warren Buffet is getting out of the United States stock market to the tune of $350 billion and put that money in the Japanese stock market, this should tell you what is going to happen soon. Either the big guys in Wall Street take control of the guy in the White House, or they will have no country or no money. The EU will preserve democracy and the civilized world. The non proliferation treaty will be history and Russia will never dare to threaten the west anymore. Thank you, Putin. You won, you destroyed the USA, but created a more powerful Europe. Celebrate on May 9. Europe will celebrate when the last Russian is dead in Ukraine

I don’t want it either. You are speaking the truth. I love your country and your people. I’m so sorry this is happening and hope you know that a large portion of our nation is just as appalled as you. It’s not about fentanyl — it’s about bigotry, power and control, isolating the people of this country, putting us in a constant fight/flight state, so the Christian Nationalists can pull the President’s strings and take over this country. Thank you for your sanity in the midst of our chaos. Don’t give up on us. ?

If each side puts 25% tariffs, import/export wont necessarily fluctuate, but everything will get more expensive =TAX for ordinary peeps.

Doug Ford or Trudeau’s reciprocal actions against the U.S. are secondary to me as a Canadian. For days, they’ve been misleading the public with talk of imposing tariffs on U.S. goods or cutting power supply, but that’s not the real issue. \n \nWhat truly matters is how our government is actively mitigating the economic impact. Are they securing new markets? Have they repaired strained relations with China, which were damaged in 2021 over the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou to appease the U.S.? Are we expanding oil exports to Japan, India, or China? Have we dispatched trade delegations worldwide to open new opportunities? \n \nWrong move. Canada doesn't have a functioning government. There is no mandate. The Prime Minister has resigned. Parliament is not in session. There is no reason to escalate. The focus should be on finding a solution the root cause of why the tariff was put in place over the border and fentanyl. \n \nIf not, then all these moves by Ford or Trudeau are meaningless—just political maneuvering to distract Canadians from the real problem.

As a Canadian I can tell you it is a supremely miserable feeling to have a nation which we have such strong feeling for strike at us like this. It is equally miserable to know that our tariffs will also cause pain to Americans. We are sorry, and I know that is cliche, but we are. Have no doubt, if you know us at all, we will fight back passionately, vigorously and indefinitely. President Trump has done what no one should ever do: put our backs to the wall. We have no choice but to fight back. God help us all!

What a big (sad little) man! How happy he is to have this tariff situation for his personal political gain. He (and my provincial premier) puts his (and my) country Canada at financial peril with his bluff and bluster for a mistaking a negotiation for a battle, the latter that he won't win.

Justin, I'm sorry! Canada I'm sorry! Please put the screws to America. We are willing to suffer because this is wrong! Fentynal invasion is a lie. Why cut all public funding to help addiction if we truly have a problem? ???

CAnada have treated American unfair for years. So trump put a tariff tax on Canada to make it fair. Trumuea is a evil person. But Canada already know that my friends.

Collecting for Ukraine , do you think he would put in in our economy or people ?

As a Canadian, the ONLY positive thing these tariffs have brought is unity between our Canadian party leaders and a greater commitment among citizens to put Canada first in our daily lives. Whether that be through mindful purchasing, supporting small business, creating stronger partnerships with the MANY other nations who remain our friends, or eliminating interprovincial trading barriers, we will face this challenge head-on and will come through this stronger than ever before! #canadafirst #canadaisnotforsale

Can you please put someone up there to speak to Trump with a set of balls! Also Justin, Canada wouldn't be as bad off right now if you had done your job correctly for the last 9 years. We are STILL ALL BLAMING YOU!

I am an American citizen. I did not vote for Trump. I would never vote for somebody like Trump and I’m sorry for what he’s doing to Canada but you do what you have to do we’ll survive, but somebody has to put Trump in his place.

I like what Trump is doing, this is the wests chance to put separation between us and America, American corporations cannot treat people in Europe like they do in the US, Americans food is filled with rubbish banned in most of the west, respect to Americans but your corporations are terrible to people.

If only the American Congress and sensible Republicans had the backbone to stand up and say what Prime Minister Trudeau has just said. It’s time for serious politicians, the judiciary, and the Republican Party to put a stop to the dismantling of the Republic and the oldest democracy in the world.

Well done Trudeau! Trump needs to be put back in his place!

If the free world wants to put pressure on the US for this betrayal, trade in euros (not dollars) and avoid US products and services. There are plenty of options. The US is so exposed to China through its debt that it will need to back down from these policies or collapse economically.

I completely agree with what trump did. He’s doing an amazing job! Funny that Trudeau is trying to put forth the same false narratives as our Democratic Party does. You can tell that he def watches cnn and MSNBC. \nThe American people don’t like you Trudeau. Your own people hate you too. You’re a tyrant. What you’ve done to the Canadians is sick. Especially with taking away free speech and jailing people for hateful speech. \nYou people in Canada actually give heroin and cocaine to people who want it at certain safe injection sites. Don’t try to act like you’re really about stopping the drug flow.

Go for it Canada. Put the screws to the US

This has nothing to do with fentanyl, he wants to take over Canada. So this is Trump having a pissy fit because he didn’t get his own way. Donnie, put your big boy pants on, and act like a grown up if you can.

Thank you Canada for putting that orange monster in his place , and by the way I'm an American !

Canada iam with you.itook my America flag down i put fly ing you flag ❤

The American people messed up putting a lunatic in office. So sad

I love Canada and I love all of the Canadian people as an American I feel really bad for you guys because you’re going through what we went through in the Biden administration. It’s gonna get worse until it gets better but it’s up to all of you Canadians to vote the right way next time you need a real man who has power And can deal with your country and puts it first and the citizens first this guy showed up in a Barbie premiere movie wearing the pink outfit that says enough. Trump knows that he needs to go it almost seems like he’s gonna get rid of all the weak leaders so we can have a power for world and bring world Peace. Pray for you guys it will get better but you need to vote him out?

Trudeau, UK, and EU put our freedom and rights at risk. How would Trudeau like it if our DOJ indicted him for this speech? Like he does to his own citizens

Trump needs to be removed from office now. In just 2 months he has put our country in a tailspin, we won’t survive 4 years of his chaos

MAKE CANADA GREAT AGAIN! \n\nWe foundation Audit!!\nGreenbelt Audit!\nSNC Lavellin Audit!!\nArrive Can Audit!\nMcKinsey Consultant Audit!\n\nLet’s see why our Canadian dollar is deteriorating and stop sending blame shall we? \n\nAmerica has EVERY right to put their citizens first, can we do the same?

@kayingalls6095\n0 seconds ago\nYou just don’t do this to your neighbors. This is not good for either side and how can you put such a divide between us. If you think this is another means of making us the 51 st state it’s not gonna work. You are not God nor a King and we will not bend to your needs.

2018 Trump put tariffs on Canadian lumber and the cost to build a house or any thing requiring lumber went up. House insurance went up as the replacement cost using lumber had gone up. Any business with a relation to lumber had gone up. The US has given itself cancer and cut cancer prevention research. Trump is the unwitting AntiChrist.

maga shiteheads: this is how words are formed to make full sentences - quick and easy, to form a clear message. \never heard trump talk like a man? or even a teen? let me ask you.. someone who can barely form a thought and put it into words is, in your opinion, qualified to lead an entire country? because you're in the #FO stage, deservingly.

Those tariffs against Canada, Mexico along with the rest of the world has all the hallmarks on what Trump really wants to happen in his project 2025 game plan. American population start to feel the consequences and rise up with protests on the streets, this will then give Trump a false flag to put the military on the streets so he can then crown himself dictator of Russia Mk 2. ?

Canada the good people here in America do not want this either because we don’t have a billion dollars to work with and truthfully I wouldn’t want it then either! We got Billionaires that want to act like two year olds here and worse yet they have been spoiled there whole lives and they claim to have never been wrong! We will do our part and would like to ask you to do everything possible to hurt the economy so we can turn the vote around and put them republicans in the protest against these criminals running our government! We will win together I am already seeing cracks in their front! We are with you Canada ?? signed old man from Ohio that has a brain and a heart!

Canadá still ❤️ American people!! and we are very sorry that you guys have a president who is bullying.. all the citizens around your country ? as Elon son told Trump he needs to go away and also Elon they are destroying USA specially median class… In my point of view the citizen puts the president and also they can take away since he is abusing of power !!

Bravo Trudeau. You have spine to put up to a bully. Wish Republican leaders in the US had backbones like yours

The Republicans put Trump first. We are all going to be punished because of the REPUBLICANS!!!

Four more years will pass soon, and God willing, new Administration will put everything back, stay strong, Canada.

I wish Canada would put a list of items out made in Canada,so Americans can help them out, with purchases!❤️????? from your friends in America ?

I am a US citizen and I am embarrassed to have such a dumb criminal insecure sick buffoon as president. \nI am also ashamed of how in this country, we have an ill-informed racist uneducated naive selfish electorate, that would put a weak person who can't even compose a short sentence correctly in the highest office in the land.

All you Trudeau haters ,you couldn't wait to get cerb check in your hand,he put out during covid, when Trudea is gone you wii be begging him to come back

As an American, can someone please and help? We do not want this. I did not vote for this. Put half of my fellow countrymen.Are fueled by grievance and isolationism

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.

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 U.S. needs to reduce the trade gap with Canada—plain and simple! We’re done putting our country’s needs second to benefit Canada. Now, let’s talk about the trade imbalance you have with us.

BULLSHIT. Friends don't rip each other off. No one gives a shit if you put tariffs on our goods, we don't make anything anyways.

His tariffs are like throwing a pebble at an ocean. He is not tough and he isn't fooling anyone. Also, every tariff he puts on the US is gonna be matched and an additional 25 percent would be added on top. This is a dumb move.

To put in perspective, only 1/6th of the US population voted for Trump. The rest of us are just standing here watching the mess unfold, powerless.

This comment section is brainwashed. Dude literally spent the last decade putting us into debt and ruining a balanced budget. Theres literally only a minority in canada thriving when it used to be an overwhelming majority. Wake up people and vote this facist government into obscurity.

if it was me , i would put all those border upgrades on pause

Despite: \n \n- Releasing felons and undermining the justice system, \n- Picking fights with every U.S. ally, \n- Suggesting NATO can no longer rely on America a direct gift to Russia’s strategic goals, \n- Dismantling government institutions, weakening internal stability, \n- Defying the rule of law and disregarding the separation of powers, \n- Appointing loyalists to key positions, consolidating control, \n- Leaving the U.S. vulnerable to Russian cyberattacks by scaling back security efforts, \n- Siding with adversarial nations like Russia while alienating traditional allies, \n- Smearing a democratically elected president at war pushing for a regime change that favors Russia, \n- And systematically weakening global alliances, fracturing Western unity to Russia’s benefit, \n- Ignoring the growing threat of Chinese expansion, weakening the U.S. position in global power struggles, \n- Encouraging political violence and extremism, further fracturing the social fabric and putting democracy itself at risk, \n- Turning a blind eye to the economic crisis, with inflation, rising debt, and an unstable market exacerbated by reckless economic policies, \n- Chipping away at civil liberties, normalizing authoritarian behavior, and restricting freedom of speech. \n \nTrump is still your president. \nAnd what does the U.S. have to show for it? \n \n- No strengthened alliances. \n- No economic gains. \n- No enhanced national security. \n- No diplomatic victories. \n- No solid foundation for the future just a nation divided, with its core values slowly eroding. \n \nEvery move seems to serve Russia’s interests while leaving America weaker, more isolated, and more divided. \nAnd yet, there are no mass protests, no storming of the Capitol, no widespread political fallout. The U.S. hasn’t fallen in a blaze. It’s crumbling quietly, a victim of divide and conquer.

Don't worry American people they want it this problem they course the trump they want to be America great again and don't worry what is happening any American people you put your tax more than the trump number one is cut out the electric America after trump giving you mines - 200 tax cut if stop to minerals for air force stop to farmers Fortalice you can get another 200 percent tax cut is well dont think what the Americans thinking think first your own people nothing else ???

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.
