Let the trade wars begin. Trudeau has hurt canada far more than Trump ever could. Canada will not win this. Go to Canada and every car you see is American, half their foods American, in America we use very little Canadian goods. Do some research.

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau, for some clarity during these very troubling times. My hope is people in my country, the USA, will finally begin to listen carefully, and think about the ramifications of voting Trump into office again. Sadly, populist demagogues attract attention by suggesting easy answers to very complex problems. Or to put it more simply, by repeatedly lying.

How refreshing it must be to have a national leader who actually speaks clearly and truthfully.\nBy choosing Trump, 50% of Americans chose chaos...and it's only beginning.

Trump will watch this begin to fail, as Canada and Mexico stand up to his bullying, and he will proclaim border crossings have stopped and fentanyl has been eradicated! So he will cancel the tariffs and declare he was such a tough guy he made them adhere to his will. Trump is a master at getting ahead of the news cycle, all the while lying and FAILING. He ruins all he touches and brags about being a genius. He is a sick man.

I think we might be making a mistake by saying that Trump is being played by Putin. I am beginning to believe more so that he is an agent of Russia with a sense of agency and the people being played are the people choosing to work for him.

Bad for Canada. Bad for America. Bad for the world. The question is whether the majority of MAGAs abandon Trump after a recession begins because of Trump's policies. I'm not sure. Maybe? For sure, they'll try to blame Biden. And some just want Trump to fight the culture war and are willing to accept the consequences of an economic downturn so long as trans people are restricted on the bathroom they can use. Some are rich enough that they wouldn't be affected by a recession. As if world events weren't already volatile enough.

I love how Trudeau begins using words like 'big' and 'very' with much expression just like Donald Trump would when he speaks directly to him

To the world a warning...president trumpet Trump will have his Knight of the long knifes and Canada and Mexico are just the beginning,,trust me on this you just wait and see people.

I am A Vietnam Veteran , Jan-Dec 1967 , and am A True Blue American Patriot who loves America with Every Ounce Of My Being !!!!! That being said , what Donald Trump and his Traitorous Conspirators are doing to Our Neighbors , Both Canada and Mexico , is A Travesty Beyond anything An American President has EVER DONE in Our History !!!! My belief is that Trump is A Russian Asset who is doing everything he can to Tear Apart Our American Democracy , to give Vladimir Putin An Open Door to America !!!! Trump is A TRAITOR TO AMERICA , MAKE NO MISTAKE !!!! Prepare yourselves for America`s 2nd Civil War !!! IT IS COMING !!!!! You can laugh all you want , but you won`t be laughing when you begin to hear Gunshots ringing out in Your Neighborhood !!! The ONLY THING that will convince Trump he made A HUGE MISTAKE is Americans armed to The Teeth standing outside of The White House , ready to rip him out of it by force !!!! He has Underestimated Americans Resolve !!!! REAL AMERICANS `` WILL NOT STAND BY `` while he systematically Shreds our Democracy , and Names Himself THE KING OF AMERICA !!!! ITS TIME FOR WAR AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the very beginning of the United States fall. this seems like Tyler Perry TV show the oval. Trump is trying to enslave the American people by disassociating other countries so the American people won’t have anywhere to run. He’s trying to be like Putin a dictator. Trump has to go. He’s not a smart businessman. He’s not for the American people.?????

Reading as much as I could of the comments below, it is with great respect that we as human can still care for one another even when we are from different countries, continents, backgrounds an so one. Evil will always try to do it's thing and we must come together to abolish it. Being from different countries in this situation is not much we can do. Maybe stop importing from America, at least till this administration is gone in 4 years. The way it's going , America will lose a lot of it's allies and unless tyranny and dictatorship follows, we will vote the so called politicians out of office and claim our rights to a better way of life. Because now, America suffers and other countries will follow. And it is just the beginning. Learn how to become stronger and don't vote for convicted felon that is doing Russia's bid. Not sure how the followers can say with a straight face that what Trump is doing is for the betterment of our country . God bless us all.

Eveything that Trump is doing has Putin written all over it. Everything that Russia could benefit from is being executed by the President of The USA. We really are witnessing the beginning of a dark chapter in American and world history. Trump is destroying (deliberately) crucial historical alliances that have benefitted the US itself. It really is mind-blowing stuff.

the fight against trump begins .. thanks trudeau...he will not stay president is my feeling..better so

Trump now is the beginning of the end for you. Lol bend over

This is especially troubling because this is not Trump's endgame. This is the beginning. He is taking a playbook from Putin to raise hostilities and start to paint Mexico and Canada as enemies which will somehow justify more severe actions, such as invasion and taking of land and resources. This needs to stop NOW.

Canada won't back down at all they never did during the oppressive mandates they formed the trucker convoys and put a stop to that madness the U.S never did anything like that. Trump is just a terrible leader all he has done since in power is attack allies its not like he went after any of the people that were trying to get him convicted, this moronn as soon as he was voted into power he attacked Canada his closest ally ridiculous, I'm beginning to think Trump is an agent of some kind based on his actions so so retarded his actions.

The "Great" trump depression is a bout to begin. But dont worry maga cult your billionaire cult leader trump wont be affected ?

At what point shall we begin to say that Trump is a Russian agent?

I said it from beginning Trump is the puppet..he will discarded at the end its elon and putin..elon shmewesd trump .

Until everyone begins to point out EVERY TIME that this is Trumps plan all along., nothing will matter. They need to always say that Trump is following thru with Russias plan to complete destroy America from within.

Beginning of the end for ??Comrade Trump. World affairs is not a business full of ((DEALS)), SLAVA Ukraine???\n?????

Trump is a Russian agent and the economic war he is waging will give the upper hand to Putin and the Russian federation and all this is only the beginning ? trump will stir unrest and division which will eventually turn into a full scale civil war in America and spread across the globe ? trump is a Heretic president for all the world to see

Respects to Canada. The Tariffs will kill everbody in US and the trade war is beginning. Russia and China laughs about the AMERICANS have fun in future wirh your criminal Clown Name Donald Trump.

Anyone who believes this pig is a good leader has been duped, as a Canadian, I will tell you, these tariffs fall right into this globalists hands, his goal from the beginning was,and is, to destabilize our economy, the above diatribe is merely posturing, he’s a lying pig, Donald Trump doesn’t hate Canadians, he hates this swine Trudeau, and , once again we Canadians suffer under this pigs watch??

Let’s the show begin a bunch of feminist against Trump.

It pisses me off that these people know what they're doing is illegal but think that if they can get to some place like NY they'll be safe when it's a place in our country. Everywhere they go in our country is illegal because they are here illegally. NY & CA are not above the law & for these ignorant illegals to think they are is frustrating AF. It's reasons like this that these governors & mayors hiding illegals need to be arrested & charged for treason. Arrest just a few & watch how quickly the others begin to work with Trump. Consequences & repercussions tend to have a much better effect on people than doing absolutely nothing & allowing them to continue to ignore federal laws.

Just looking at this is depressing. The fact there's so many people who hate themselves that are rooting for the destruction of their own country is beyond words. We have Trump for 4 years but what happens after that? Next Democrat that gets elected just opens up the borders again and the cycle begins again, but each time more permanent damage is done to the country.

And This is one reason Americans voted for Trump!! This is a invasion and it won't stop until America ramp up deportations, prosecute any American aiding immigrants, and chastise Mexico for encouraging ppl to emigrate!! This is only the beginning, And if Americans don't develop tough skin, Third world countries will continue to come in mass hordes!!! TURN UP DEPORTATIONS!! PUT MILITARY ON BORDER, PROSECUTE ANYBODY AIDING IMMIGRANTS, GET RID OF BIRTHRIGHTS!!! IF NOT, SMH

I love you Tyler, but I am beginning to hate the USA due to them voting for Trump. Sorry.

Why are we seeing this right now??? These people are frightened. Thiswill happen more & moreall over the world if we don't get rid of Trump and connect once agajn with NATO & The United Nations! This is so sad...and we are experiencing just the beginning of this travesty here in the USA!!!

The way to stop this nonsense is by enforcing regular standards under the UCMJ. A serviceman and woman will always wear uniforms that correspond to their sex and maintain regular hair standards, and cosmetics like lipstick on a man will be considered eccentric. That's how life was when I served, and the fact that this disease ever got a foothold to begin with makes me glad that Trump is back in office.

Order Out Of Chaos. \nThe world looks on, criticising Trump, throwing around silly slurs such as far right, accusations of racism.\nDeep down they know this is needed, deep down even the haters know that this is to protect our women, our culture and our homes.\nDon’t ever make the mistake of making this about race, it’s about common sense and the insanity of allowing millions of poor people to simply walk in to affluent countries because they feel like it.\nI hope this is the beginning of the end of this utter madness.

It's a sad situation but there are laws that illegal immigrants need to obey. What doesn't make sense to me is that everyone is blaming Trump for this move but not the previous administration for allowing illegals to come in at will. It's crazy. If that would've been handled correctly from the beginning we wouldn't be here

Canadian here. The tariffs will hurt. And this may just be the beginning of a sprawling trade war, but make no mistake, Canada is not for sale, and Canada, despite its soft spoken nature, is determined to keep going on its own way. We have free trade with the EU and Pacific nations. For any US companies who find themselves caught up in tariffs for their export markets, consider setting up your export shop here, to keep your Canadian customers, and continue to have access to European and Asian markets under free trade agreements that are respected, and operate independently of any decision made by President Trump. Businesses need predictability and stability, and your neighbors to the north can provide that to all of your export markets.

Unfortunately the Canadian government is playing right in the Trump‘s hands that’s Trump‘s game that’s his plan he wants counter tariffs from Canada so that he can up the tariffs to 100% that’s the plan because he wants to discourage companies in Canada and Mexico so that they’ll leave Canada and Mexico and come to the US he’s offering huge tax breaks to any companies that want to invest in the US. As Trump’s plan it’s like checkmate crown me king he just give him what he wants he knew it from the beginning and he said it if Canada counter tariffs the US he was put in his terrace at 100% but that’s the plan and the plan is to discourage companies in Canada so they’ll leave what they’re doing

When Donald Trump's Yahoo's that he will bail out.... Begin to do sniper Patriot activity..... We have to wonder.... From someone's big mouth.... How did this all get started anyway..... Donald Trump's wet dream martial law... Enough disarray so he can remain in power and continued his dynasty putting his son up next... Being the start of something.... He gets off on this exceptionalism..... Well he's sure being the start of something......... CHAOS

I blame all this on the Biden administration who PURPOSELY allowed masses of people from ALL OVER THE WORLD to enter this country illegally in the thousands per day with NO PLAN causing more economic hardship on already economically struggling Americans who many were forced to become homeless, loose their vehicles, loose their job, unable to pay rent or get assistance, and much more and when Americans discovered that people illegally entering the country were being given a \nSpecial debit card in the thousands $$$\nWere being given 2 yrs free rent\nWere being put ahead of those that were legally trying to get a green card after already waiting yrs to get in\nWere being given food stamps and other forms of help $$$$\nWere being given a FREE VEHICLE\nwere placed in jobs along with the federal monies \nWas something painfully and became wrongfully able for suffering Americans and Veterans to accept and voted for TRUMP!\nWhy? Democrats who were placing non Americans before AMERICANS and it became unacceptable!\nI’d like to see another country do what the Biden administration so illegally done!\nSorry ???\nCharity begins at home! We are voting you heartless Democrats out!

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!!

Yeah as we learn more we begin to hide with our tails between our legs. Trump is doing incredibly well just accept that you are suckers and losers and start supporting the movement of great change Trump 2024 !!!!!

I think Indian govt's stance is best in this case.\n'Give us a list of our people you want to deport, give us proofs why you think they are illegals, and we will arrange for the planes ourselves, no questions asked. You won't even have to bother about transporting them, just bring them to the air port, we will fly them back.'.\n\n\nAnyways Indian govt had been warning Canada about this migration for past 8 years. Literally imploring them to not take these guys in. They aren't running away from persecution, they are running away from prosecution. But sadly Canada became a safe haven for criminals in India to run and hide into. Now don't blame India or Indians for it. We warned you, we had a spat with you. You lectured us how free and democratic you are and how your doors are open to all. NOW SUFFER.\n\nFor the Americans.....i don't feel a thing. They are mostly racists bunch (liberals more than conservatives, but yeah 99 percent of them are pure vile racists). I enjoy watching their country undergoing a very slow implosion right Infront of our very eyes. Trump is a good and capable leader. But what can he really do? His main voter base (which actually did not matter in the elections, it was the minority votes which tilted the scales) is simply uneducated, uninformed, racists. I don't know if they are inherently racist or that racism is born out of ignorance to begin with. But it is what it is. And the othtrr side is loony. ?. You have hate filled racists on one side and crazies on another. That country is destined to be doomed. I hardly find any centrist sane individual who can actually get over the superficial racial or identity stuff and actually talk policies in depth. Both sides are like... For us or against us. What can Trump even do with such population base. They have to import people to keep their quality on top... Else they are done for within next 200 - 250 years.

The world will turn on Trump and America if they are not careful. The world will not be bullied. Could this be the beginning of the end for the United States influence? ??

President Trump is not wasting anytime, and that is just a beginning ❤

At one time no South American country would have dared defy a US president and risk invasion and regime change, now they all openly defy Trump with abandon since the rise of BRICS. Colombia has applied to join BRICS and these retaliatory tariffs will simply speed that up. Colombia stated quite clearly - we will not accept undocumented migrants who have done nothing wrong but work, pay their tax and behave as excellent members of US society - basically Trump try somewhere else to dump your unwanted workers. Americans' favourite Colombian coffees have just become 25% more expensive, millions of cups of Colombian coffee is drunk the US every week. \n\nTrump’s ridiculous comment about Jordan, Egypt and other Gulf countries taking Palestinians whilst Gaza is rebuilt is equally stupid; those countries cannot accept forcibly expelled, ethnically cleansed Gazans because that would be a War Crime and render those countries liable to be accused of complicity in a War Crime by the International Court of Justice; they would also incur the wrath of their respective populations and put their governments at risk of being overthrown. \n\nAll the surrounding countries and the International Community needs to do is to flood Gaza with thousands of tons of humanitarian aid and millions of large family-sized tents, as well as mobile toilets and washing facilities. Supply bulldozers and rubble removing machinery to clean the land up as quickly as possible, as well as bomb detection kits to protect the children. The Gazan people are incredibly resilient and will happily live in tents whilst their country is being rebuilt around them, and the State of Palestine begins to emerge again. \n??

Ahhh Yes, let it all begin!!! Its only been a week & Trump has done more than Biden / Harris did in 4 years. Love it absolutely love it, enough is enough & about time every country realizes they arent/cant keep sending their problems & illegal immigrants to our border to cross in / enter the U.S illegally! Hopefully Trump sticks to it & sends back as many of them as physically possible! Time to focus on making our country great again, eliminate the nonsense & ? show Biden/Harris created and allowed! All the south american and central american counries better wake up n deal with their wonderful citizens because its not the U.S job or obligation to just allow and accept them. If they want to do it legally and right way, sure im all for it, but enough is enough! How about we start sending all of our criminals etc to their countries on a free for all and thousands of them at a time not just a couple!?! Pretty sure the majority of U.S citizens have had enough & 99% are glad Trumps a man of his word & does what when & how he says it!

According to what I just read; Colombian President Gustavo Petro said he will deny entry to the United States’s deportation flights as President Trump’s immigration plan begins.

Is it too hard-to-treat people with dignity and respect. Trump takes that request as an insult. So, it begins!

?? This is just the beginning of the Trump shit show. Now we will have to pay more for our coffee! ?‍?

One question...WHO THE HELL IS RUNNING OUR COUNTRY??? illegal migrants or foreign students or the rule of cdn law...we need Trump up here to begin deportations because no one in our govt has the will for that!

Trump must be disqualified; Americans can't be that stupid! Individuals incarcerated with less severe sentences than Trump should be released from prison immediately, as the law should apply equally to everyone without exception. The justice system, including the Supreme Court, is fundamentally flawed, and this is just the beginning. Trump's actions threaten to fragment the USA, much like his questionable dealings; the evidence is clear. He lacks morals, having faced sexual accusations from 26 women, and his connections with Jeffrey Epstein, who preyed on underage girls, raise serious concerns about his actions. Additionally, he has deceived and exploited construction workers with his projects, launched a fake university, and filed for bankruptcy six times. His most notable act is the first insurrection in U.S. history. This con artist holds the worst reputation both nationally and internationally, while the justice system and government have consented to a reckless individual. America has lost credibility both domestically and globally—all of this for one unworthy old man. The government can only blame the electorate for choosing someone who should never have been permitted to run for the presidency!

If they don’t take care of the cartel, their drugs goes to show you they’re sold out to the cartels and they say it’s Trump‘s problem and send the US military thank you forces to take out every cartel in Mexico New Mexico favor we got over 300,000 missing children from our southern border The cartels dropped them off at our border. Some of them went into sex trafficking. Someone went into slavery I don’t wanna talk about what happens to the others just children a lot of them where Guatemalan after Kamala Harris with Guatemala Guatemala radio was telling kids how to get to America I wish people would study into what exactly going on in our country instead of leaving the propaganda resent our kids off to college to be a doctorate by college professors to believe is the right way to go things are gonna change and change your abruptly. We’re going back to the constitutional Republic, the deep state, a.k.a. the corporation one world order is getting out of Dodge. I just hope they leave quietly and there’s no lost life by pushing Putin into doing something stupid and vaporizing, cities and country folks dying of slow death of radiation for evening Joe Biden said he would do everything in his power to keep Trump out of the lighthouse Jamie Raskin wanted to talk democrat said he would rather create a civil war to keep Donald Trump out of life. The red and Chuck Schumer has almost cost us the life of the Supreme Court, Justice woke his no more and I can’t wait for the new beginning to start.
