These comments are disappointing. All these Americans standing with other countries smh. Go live there! Nobody is forcing you to stay in America. Why don’t you actually start trying to help OUR country be better INSTEAD OF COUNTRIES!!! How can so many people LOVE that OUR taxes go to non Americans?. Or lining the pockets of the very politicians you all are listening to? Make it make sense. Oh wait, it all makes sense when you all have TDS. The elections are OVERRRRR, how are democrats going to survive the next 4 years? This is just getting started & as you can see, Trump always gets what he wants. No more sleepy joe & kackling kamala. Soon enough NO MO Trudeau!

I can't make sense of why we're turning our backs on Canada and opening our arms wide in welcome to Russia. Any way you try to look at it, the optics are scary

General Clark is baffled by Trump's strategy. How it doesn't make any sense to alienate our allies and isolate ourselves. To destroy our economy and internal workings.\n\nBut it becomes crystal clear if you accept the fact that Trump is serving Putin. He is Putin's asset. \n\nTrump's actions prove it.

My fellow Americans, we have far to many gullible and ignorant citizens in our country who voted for this idiot not once, not twice but 3 times. Insanity. Make it make sense. You voted for a proven narcissist, liar and impulsive man and now everybody in our country is going to suffer. The rest of the world is understandably concerned. We have a Putin sympathizer in the Oval Office. We have a traitor to Western democracy in our midst in power. \n\nWe now have massive layoffs coupled with cuts to vital services and help for our own citizens including Medicaid and other things. This is disturbing and troubling how fast it's unravelling. We can only hope that patriots and others can help stem this tide. We must use peaceful means to and pressure on our politicians to become more vocal in our concerns.

.... Well I'll tell you what Trudeau,.... None of us people wanted these tariffs either... At least not the people who are sane... I don't even think the people who voted for Donald Trump wanted these tariffs against the rest of the world either....I really don't understand the sense behind it because this is not going to make America greater.... It's going to destroy the economy of America and whatever the country it is that he poses these tariffs on... He thinks this is a strategy for getting what he wants... But I'll tell you what, he may be shocked and sadly mistaken when he finds out that it might just backfire ...this is a very conceited attempt to get the type of economic condition that he envisions for his new Dictatorship over America....he has alienated United States from its allies in Europe as well as its allies here at home.... This is probably about as dumb as his treatment of Volodimir Zelensky that just transpired on Friday at the oval office...and that idiot Vance is the one actually that has started that little debacle....I don't know man I thought these guys had more sense than to do this kind of shit.... But see this kind of situation is not going to affect him or his billionaire buddies because they have so much money they can cushion themselves until the cows come home....these assholes don't have nothing to worry about except the American people finding an emergency way of getting his ass out of office unless he changes course on all of this... I don't know if he can be impeached or not... But it might be a smart thing to find out if it IS possible.... AND EVEN IF IT IS WE STILL HAVE HIS SITTING REPLACEMENTS STILL IN OFFICE AS WELL SO I DON'T SEE THIS GOING AWAY WITHIN THE NEXT 4 YEARS UNLESS HE COMES BACK TO HIS SENSES, AND POSSIBLY GOES TO A DOCTOR AND HAVE HIS HEAD CHECKED....\nDTheMadkat123\nFrom a borrowed phone \n....the only thing I really do support that he is doing is securing the border and dealing with immigration issues here.... That's it that's all I was hoping that he would really focus on being in the oval office, and possibly standing by Ukraine, and Israel during these evil days.... Buddying up to Putin is like the single most insane thing that has come from this as well..I just hope and pray that he comes back to his senses and backtracks on all of this shit.... Besides I like Canada House whiskey, and Canada Dry Ginger ale, and other products from Canada.... Stand strong Canadians, I love you all, and I hope we can make it through these tough times ahead...but obviously the road that we're traveling now there really is no guarantees is there ?? Lady can you shut the hell up and go back to what Trudeau is saying ??

Fighting our good neighbors and cozying up to War mongering Putin. There is no way to make it make sense.

I will make it make sense!\nTrump owes Putin for loaning Trump Inc. billions to prop him up from another bankruptcy. Now its time to pay up. If he doesn't perform accordingly, some not so good things could potentially be in order. Trump has fed his flunkie followers a garbage of hope. Those surrounding him have been promised high level authority if his Coup in ridding America of Democracy prevails. He is destroying higher Authority first. The last piece to his plan will be SCOTUS. They are too smart to see it coming, thats why that group continues to provide cover for all of Trump's lunacy. Maybe there will soon be a Daniel to reveal the dream of Nebuchadnezzar. Insha Allah. ?

So people in the administration says that if Canada actually decreases the amount of Fentanyl coming across the border things may change? Last year 19 kg were seized at the Canadian border, if they decrease that to 15, will that be enough? It’s such massive bullshit an nothing about it makes sense. The only way to make sense of Trump’s “diplomacy” is if he’s being paid directly by Russia and China.

He says he love America and that he's going to make it great again but he secretly is destroying America and causing chaos make it make sense

Does it make sense now that trumo vance and musk are agents of russia and china... bring those 3 to jail

I wish we could make it make sense, most of the country did not vote for him. But too many people who would've voted against him decided to stay home. We can't seem to do a damn thing to change it!

It does make sense. Trump wants to annex Canada, get the NW passage, get Greenland, he just bought Panama Canal… with these trade routes in place he stands to gain over 2 trillion a year.. it’s about greed.

As a American ,we can't make it make sense at all, our president dreams to be a murderous dictator too I guess

Everything trump touches, he corrupts, then bankrupts. This is why it all makes sense and this is why it was all so predictable. Republican voters, go talk to your leaders. You already have them hiding from you, they won’t change until you make them fear your wrath more than Trump’s.

I can’t make sense of it……..I’m sorry and ashamed of the US government……..thank you for spelling it out for all the people who casted their vote for Trump…. He is screwing everyone to suit himself!

It’s the “make that make sense” for me. We’re all trying to figure it out ?. Trump already told everyone that these are “concepts of concepts”…what do people expect? He said what he said, and he was elected by a large margin ?. It is what it is. What are the solutions? I’m curious to hear the legal solutions so that we can all understand what is happening with these egg prices ?

Sorry Justin. Most of us are trying to make it make sense too. ??‍♀️

I’m disgusted by Trudeau as soon as he opens his mouth so I can’t listen to him - doesn’t matter if he makes sense (for once). Justin Trudeau is a criminal politician with no mandate. He is an elected dictator who won’t step down to further his personal narcissistic agenda. Even when he “resigns” he fails. Tariffs just make us pay more at the checkout - Trudeau is a lunatic. I have lost all faith in this so called “democracy” in Canada and I’m not completely opposed to a 51st state idea - it would be better once one looks beyond the Canadian pride and patriotism.

Make it Make sense that Canadian government has been taking advantage of America for a long time. You forgot to mention that part.

Do what you have to do pm Trudeau....the average NORMAL American can't make it make sense either ...smh

Doesn't make sense to at least half of us Americans either. Please, sock it to him! And us! DT makes up all of this in his head. And NO, he is not a very smart guy!

In a sense I know why (optics), but in another sense, I don’t. Why do so many insist on retaliating against Trump’s tariffs with more or higher tariffs of their own? I think it’d be so much more effective if someone said, “You know, we’ve thought about this, and we have come to realize that tariffs are really bad. So starting tomorrow, we will respond by getting rid of all our tariffs. This will make everything we import more affordable. It will make us richer. We hope other countries will join us! If America insists on making everything they import more expensive, lowering their standard of living, that’s their prerogative and problem!”

I have literally heard these same words for all of my life and nothing ever changes why would anyone think it will now doesn’t make sense to keep jabbering bout the same shit you ain’t even fixing?

It all makes sense. Everything that doesnt make sense does make sense if you look at it from the point that Trump is a puppet of Putin.\n\nThen everything, from Ukraine to whacking friends, to underming his own people, starts to make all the sense in the world.

We don’t know how to make it make sense. He is literally insane.

From Canada: Sorry but we did this to ourselves by not growing our economy as we could have done, by not expanding energy and trade, by being led by a non-leader who panders only to the east and disrespects the west, who spends money like it’s on fire. Trudeau could learn so much from Sen Robert Kennedy about spending money that isn’t his to spend… If eastern Canada would respect the wealth we have in the country, in the ground, we would not be in this position. Canada could be one of the wealthiest countries in the world and Canadians could have a very high standard of living. Instead we are stagnant and woke, dying from terrible drug policies and woke law, and bursting with a terrible “look at me, look at how good I am” immigration policy. We have no investment or tourism in BC, no foreign buyers, almost no airbnb, no fruit, soon to be no wine, but at least we have free drugs and 2000 genders, right Provincial NPD? That will help the bank account. And we have no respect for Alberta’s riches that benefit EVERYONE. All the power is centralized in Quebec, with the Bloc not even a federal GD party but somehow allowed to be a federal party, and Ontario and Atlantic Canada just loving a false sense of moral and intellectual superiority, and don’t forget transfer payments. And we have got ourselves into this Liberal government purgatory (thank God the Federal NPD have been decimated over it…at least there is some justice), so that we write cheques to make us feel good and look good despite that we can’t afford it. And we prevent growth and trade to make ourselves feel good and look good even though we can’t afford it. And here we are now, broke a** with no prospects and no savings. Well done Canada and well done Capitano Trudeau.

So we have a bunch of people who want wars, hating and attacking a guy who wants these wars to come to an end and the bullshit to stop. Make it make sense.

The USA president Trump wants everything to be manufactured and sourced locally from the United States of America. He knows what happened during COVID-19 and what problems the world experienced because of a global supply chain. Now while it doesn't really make sense with Canada who is right next door the Canadians were given the opportunity to integrate into the USA so there could be some motive in that. And why wouldn't they want that anyway? Just remove the Canadian border and everyone becomes the USA. Why not?

Yes, the number two in the Oval Office is Pence, and his words often come across as cheap, bullying tactics. Instead of offering real leadership or thoughtful discussion, he uses language that tries to intimidate and put others down. His approach often feels like he's trying to hold onto power by scaring people, rather than standing on solid ground with strong ideas. This kind of talk may work for some, but it only creates more division and gets in the way of real progress.\nThe biggest mistake was introducing tariffs without any backup plans in place. The bottom 60% of U.S. citizens will likely struggle to make ends meet in less than two years, stuck behind the barriers of these tariffs. The idea that South American countries might step in to help the U.S. seems unrealistic. More likely, the U.S. will find itself isolated, facing political instability—and to put it bluntly, a loss of trust—thanks to an overinflated ego and a sense of entitlement.\nCould the U.S. turn to African countries for their natural resources? It’s possible, but this effort probably won’t be successful. Most African nations, except for those in the Sahel region, are just beginning to recover from the effects of colonialism. Many are now building their own paths and are more likely to align with China’s influence rather than the U.S. Even if the U.S. tries to get resources from Africa, it will likely face challenges from both local resistance and growing competition from China.

Make that make sense? ok, here it is.—-Trump is the most evil villain the world has ever known.-In exchange for helping Trump win both elections-Putin was handed classified documents providing Russia with the technology to determine the precise location of each deployed U.S. Navy submarine that's armed with ballistic missiles.-\nBecause of this transaction ALONE the country has no other option but to cease being the United States of America and fulfill it's role as Russia's latest conquest.\nThis is the result of allowing extreme racism to reign and placing an eminently compromised degenerate in the highest office.

Wow, articulate strong talk, no lies, no propaganda, no bluster, none of the total and complete unrelenting bullshit we have endure on a daily basis from the sociopathic delusional asshole that currently occupies the White House. It should be no surprise that our leadership chooses to blame all of our problems on someone else, because that's exactly what they do every day. We have a drug problem, it's because of Canada and Mexico. We have an immigration problem, likewise Mexico and Canada. We have a deficit problem, that's because of the EU and NATO. Our problem is our government, specifically Republicans who won't accept the simple truth: you want to solve problems you have be disciplined and smart. You have to spend money to fix your problems instead of blaming some else and trying to get them to pay for it. You pay to solve your problems instead of giving huge tax cuts to people who don't need them. You stop lying to your people. You want to change the trade imbalance? Build products that other countries want at a price that makes sense. The EU has no laws that prevent American car manufacturers from selling their cars in Europe. American car companies make shitty cars. They make cars that are too big, that don't make sense for European where streets can be very small and gas is very expensive. The US manufacturers don't make a single small car in thos country that can compete with European cars. US agricultural products are laced with poisonous chemicals that are outlawed in the EU because they kill people. Our governmeent doesn't give a shit about that because to grow healthy food means you have to cut profits, almighty dollars, instead of grow things that the rest of the world will accept. We have an idiot for president who thinks he knows more than anyone else and an idiot party that won't tell him the truth. This is going to cost us big time. We are going into recession, probably a long one because we don't have real leaders and the president on his best day is nothing more than a reality TV personality, and not a very entertaining one at that.

Make That Make Sense. Here you go Trudeau. . If US aligns with Ukrain, as very very sad as this situation is, Trump would be declaring opposition with Russia. Then China aligns with Russia. Then WW3 starts on North American soil. Did Trump word everything right? Absolutely NOT. NOPE. However… I don’t want a war either. Trump should have just stayed out of it. \n\nLastly Trudeau you liar. You said “no one wins in a trade war…”. Yet you respond to tariffs with tariffs. You just started a trade war!!!! \n\nHow’s that for making sense enough for you!!

He is 100% correct. tRump is looking to work with Russia and perhaps remove sanctions while putting tariffs on all our allies. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!!

didn’t think Trudeau could make Canada any worse, but man did he messed up now it makes so much more sense to be the 51st state \n\nBut then again, I live in Canada and make US dollars so who really cares lol ?

Justin, we don't want this either. It's this MF and his cohorts. They are mad and desperately trying to turn the US into a Russian state. Make it, make sense. Why don't they just move to Russia?

I can make it make sense. Trudeau clearly wants to destroy this country. He is with the WEF. He has stolen from Canadian taxpayers. Let our borders be unprotected. I can go on and on, but will finish with this, he funds CNN and other news stations. People need to wake up and research!

???????? here,If there’s one thing I learned in university as a political science graduate, and I did take a US government course was part of my degree. I thought that there were so many checks and balances on the president of the United States, but seeing his actions, I am very confused at how he is not being questioned for his mental stability and his actual ability to lead your country I mean to what degree is the definition of treason not applied I don’t understand how the president of the United States can now align himself with Russia and destroy allegiances with friends and allies This is not seen as treason?\nTo my American readers… just remember the United States knows no better friend than Canada….. so does any of this make sense? How is it that we are the enemy now and your president wants to support Russia is he a Russian operative? How are you not removing this guy from power where are all these checks and balances that you always bragged about through my entire life ?

Don't feel bad, Trudeau. It doesn't make sense to us either.

Can someone why tell me why we import food and oil that we already have in our own country? There is a terrif on beef. We have cows in CA, Texas and Montana. Why don't we use that beef? Imports and exports make no sense to me. Same with oil. We make tons of it yet import it to other countries and then buy oil from Canada. Why?

As a German - apart from the content which is no less than justified - just technically comparing Trudeau´s speech with Donald Trump´s verbal outcome - what an incredible difference in niveau & tone. Isn't it almost tragic how little skill it took to run the U.S and even worse, how low the common-sense-threshold must be for a half of the American people to make this happen a second time. Embarrassing.

It is so great to see and hear a man speak and make sense not just lie and miss lead people

---- TRUMP IS A TRAITOR AND IN PUTINS HANDS. ---- BELIEVE IT ---- ANYTHING ELSE DOESN''T MAKE SENSE --- DOGE / MUSK / TULSI GEBBARD / AND MANY MORE ARE PART OF THIS TREASON AND FRAUD. IT IS A MULTI LEVEL CONSPIRACY AND ONE OBJECTIVE IS TO CHANGE THE USA AN AUTOCRACY.

Honestly I don't know why people hate on prime minister Trudeau I think he did an amazing job during a time when nobody could predict what was happening during covid and I am glad he is speaking out because in my opinion Trump has lost his mind I am not joking I think he either has dementia or dementia? and he has been making fun of Canada ever since he got elected again and what is wrong with Americans that they re-elected this person that made their country a laughingstock honestly it makes no sense to me❤ and from him saying he's going to make Canada a state of his we are bigger than your whole f**** country you stupid bastard? sorry but he makes me so angry and yes I am a proud Canadian❤

Canada costs the US billions, you sir haven’t been very been in a real fight you make peace by talking to your enemies fool there’s your sense and if you don’t want to do this make tariffs reciprocal this won’t hurt us it will hurt Canada

So trump/america destroys it's friendship/trade with all it's allies to suck up to a Russian dictator?please make it make sense please!!!!also...never thought i would ever agree with anything Justin trudeau said but hey his definitely right on this one?

If I really want to make sense of all this non sense, in this 'alternative truth world', I will say that, in fact, Trump is surprisingly the best advocate for sustainable development! Because, if the tariffs have the expected consequences, trade between both your countries will decrease, meaning less trucks on the roads, meaning less fossiles fuels, less production, less consumption, meaning less emissions of CO2. Is it what Trump really wants?

Europe stands with Canada ??❤️. Make it make sense. That’s all there is to it.

The sense I make of it is that it sure looks like trump and putin plan on carving up our world BY STARTING WORLD WAR 3. Lots of war money to be made and Putin gets Europe, trump gets North America and China can have Taiwan for starters. That’s why trump talks about Canada and Mexico being part of the US…THAT’S THE PLAN. And Elon gets to steal all our data to feed to AI for total surveillance and control. This is a corporate takeover of our world and we cannot let it happen.

Ok MAGA… anyone able to answer him? Can any of you ‘make it make sense’? The cover of non-existent Canadian fent crisis is off the table. It’s horseshit and you know it. So please, explain why we’re abandoning every ally from North America to Europe and aligning ourselves with dictators and oligarchs whose open goal is our destruction… Sincere question: Why? Why is any of this the right thing for the USA? From the awful economic impacts to our impending utter isolation in the world, why do you support this?

It don’t make sense and I’m sorry to the rest of the world cause this man is destroying our continent never in my life I would of thought a Russian news reporter was in the freaking White House, Ronald is rolling in his grave ?
