American here. Trust me what Trump is doing is foolish. There are many MANY Americans like myself that can agree. We cannot control this devil in power.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\ntrumps attempted assassination was staged for rigged election results. elon is an oligarchy that paid his way into government.

Listen all over the world react to Donald Trump. Looking at in the old testement how God punish His people. United States now loosing the free world leader now. It's a shame. I'm not sure who is the dictator now. A free world leader not speaking like a 6 years old kit. America is a christian country, American should speak or talking like a christian, not talk like evil.

At this juncture the whole world have seen how ignorant American voters are by allowing this low profile exconvict and a draft dodger to dictate for a country like America , TRUMP himself is illitrate forget about the English language the man knows nothing when it comes to international politics and how American foreign policies work , a man with zero experience public office how can he rule but guess what American people deserve everything thats been happening to them , they better stfu and deal with it

It's cause Trump is true, and ppl don't like the truth

Trump is not smart. He is Putin's puppet. Just like JD.

I like this guy, Canada Prime Minister, young and intelligent. I think Canada should let him lead the country for one more year because he is a good leader and I really do respect a leadership like that. I don’t like Trump, he want to turn America just like China and Russia country.

It honestly feels like an personal vendetta by Trump against America itself.\nHe's doing all he can to shrink it's working active government, sever ties with all it's allies, and screw over it people\n\nIs this revenge for not getting his second term? For them trying to jail him?\n\nIt feels like an massive F U to his country.

Trump also accuses China of fentanyl. The truth is, China produces a precursor or an ingredient of fentanyl and legally exports to pharmaceutical companies all over the world. Not like the drug dealers in the US call up China and say” hey China, hook me with some fentanyl, bro!”

Canada’s economy will tank than we will make them our 51st great idea trump you should ask what would you like for us to do president Trump. We fund your military and your economy. Your ass is ours

I wish we had a leader like you in the US Mr. Trudeau! i never voted for Trump. He is a horrible president.

Not once did he talk about why this is happening? He says he's our friend but saying it is one thing. Actions speak louder Trudeau. Mr. Trump asked you to meet him to get balanced fair trade. You say you are our friend. But, yet you don't want fair and balanced trade. Hmmm, common sense goes a long. Tariff is a smart way to let you know that your certainly not acting like the friend and ally you say you are. This could all go away, but the truth is your demonrat supporter who lies, misleads the truth, and blames others. We the people don't tolerate that any longer and don't appreciate it. Shame on you!

Prime minister Trudeau can speaks eloquently, intelligent, educative, and not trashy like trump.

Trump wants the World to collapse so his billionaires and america can buy up the stock market and dominate the World. It’s not trade blocks, it’s Dictator blocks. If that doesn’t work he’ll invade Canada and Mexico most likely and just take it. At this point, I hope America implodes. Either way it’s a mass suicide. Trump isn’t a smart man, he’s an evil man. And people who persist in making excuses for this creature are just traitors, the lowest of the low, stupid, greedy war mongers.

TRUMP the Narc has to create psychodramas to make himself look like the HERO ...but it has the opposite effect ..it's all about him ALWAYS

What a difference between Trump and Trudeau! He is so elegant and professional. Trump sounds like he’s from the streets. ❤??

This sounds more like a cry of desparation to me. The question is: If you all-of-the-sudden managed to stop the flow of fentanyl, why couldn't you have stopped if before? It just wasn't important enough? This isn't about fentanyl, though. President Trump is going to use this to hedge support for our takeover of Greenland.

May I come there to live please? \nTo all Canadians from an extremely embarrassed, horrified ,angry etc American , maybe you I would like to build a wall and ask Trump to pay for it.

It’s very fitting that when talking to Trump, he switched to small words like he was reading a bedtime story to a child ?

Boo boo, don’t care. It’s time that the countries we support show some love back. In our time of need we are getting ghosted but everyone expects America to just to attention when there is a conflict or someone needs money. No one cares about our financial needs or our battle with the cartels and illegal immigration. Then screw them. If they want to leave us high and dry because they like the old way of doing things, aka syphoning off Americas wealth, then they can get ghosted right back. I know this will get hate because the people who support CNN are mostly trump haters, but oh well. There’s gonna be a lot of pain before the soothing comes because of all the damage that’s been done. My heart goes out to those suffering, you’re not alone, we’re all in this hoping for a better America.

Trudeau is a REAL leader not like this clown Trump who couldnt even run a McDonalds. Respect to Canada from europe???

Stand strong Canada ??, support here from the UK ??. I have never been to your country, but there will be ? support for you over here, from everybody. Trump really is behaving like a complete and utter pratt.

This happened because Trump makes stuff up and doesn’t understand anything, to incl the consequences of his nonsense. Trump believes he’s playing 4D chess, when really he’s just performing and trying to look like a legit POTUS, the same way he does all kinds of silly stuff to pretend he’s some kind of genius businessman.\n\nThe fact that he kisses Putin’s butt and talks about falling in love with that lunatic who runs North Korea while insulting every friendly nation who calls us a friend is disgusting.

Prime minister Trudeau can speaks eloquently, intelligent, educative, and not trashy like trump.

Looks like Trump wants some justification for setting an active trade between US and Russia.

Trump has made us the enemy of every country except Russia. Not smart. The u.s will feel this. When people like Warren Buffet says this is an act of war well if you have spent time in the military you know trade wars are acts of war. America brace yourself.

Donald Trump is managing the [very rapid] decline of the post-war US empire. He understands that he needs to let go of the levers that made the United States a de-facto empire after the end of World War II. Those levers of power will - WILL - be taken away from the United States, whether we like it or not, and regardless of our willingness to give them up. President Trump understands this. He is attempting to pilot the United States toward a rough (but survivable) landing and to prevent a cataclysmic crash after the loss of those levers of power. He understands more than he is given credit for.

Stop talking like JT is declaring trade war on America It's that idot Trump that has done this whole thing. Idiots

When trump started blaming all the immigrants for the economic woes of the us like it’s 1945 I knew better than to listen to his bs. He lies and says what he needs to to act like a dictator. I didn’t vote for him. Nor will I ever be ok with him being on putins side or bragging about being friends with Kim jun un. He’s an idiot.

It is very simple, just like Donald Trump is, he puts the tarifs on products, so live for people get even more expensive, then after a while he will change his mind and the tarifs wil disapear and products gets cheaper again. THEN he will proudly say that he took care of the high prices. This all he will do to show he was right that he would take care of the Americans and lower the prices and 80% of them will believe it and will say that he made good on his promise. This is the art of the deal.

Trump will insult our Prime Minister. He will make him sound like an idiot! The only idiot is Trump! He has absolutely no idea what he’s doing or talking about! No idea!

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau thank you for your address to Americans, to the american Bully in chief, and to your people. I am among those who started pushing back before trump took office, many are. We’re watching legislation and countering it. It won’t be easy, but we, the other half who understand that trump is crooked and dysfunctional, will not give up. Generally, Americans are not great when it comes to hitting the pavement and letting our voices be heard, but we’re getting much better. We need to be more like France, but without the destructive automobile fires and other property destruction. Life will be hell here, in my own democratic country, until the Bully is gone. I want the entire republican party gone, they only serve themselves via stock insider information, and messed up wishes to control a dystopian society while kowtowing to the billionaires. I want the democrats rebranded to acknowledge the important social programs we have. Let’s face it, they did not protect us from this trump/project 2025 takeover. Instead they allowed unchecked lies, and the ability to buy his way into office with so many felonies under his huge belt. In a country that is intellectually compromised, lies are very effective weapons against democracy. We need better hate laws to control this lying issue.

Good luck Canada, It feels like Trump is trying to unite the world against him

Fentanyl coming in from Canada to the USA is 0.02 %. Soo... trump is lying about that. Truth is that Melania likes Justin Trudeau. He's younger and Much better looking than Old Man trump, And THAT gets under trumps thin skin. Soo thats why he's trying to belittle Trudeau in front of America and Canada. If trump didn't have $$$$ ? No woman would give him a second look even. He looks like and talks like a Ditty Ole Pervert just like His Pal And Good Friend Geoffrey Epstein did leering at young woman. Soo that's why he's shooting off his poisoned mouth wanting Our Great Country as the 51st state. Canada's tougher than he thinks and he'll see that When the Going gets Tuff, Canadians stand up for Ourselves!!!

The man speaks from the HEART is truthful, listen to him trump, this man is not power driven like you he cares about humans

GO TRUMP FROM ARGENTINA ???? Trump is a real nationalist that stands for his country just like Milei is doing in Argentina. What has Biden made other than increasing inflation, letting illegals in and tanking the US economy?

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 wish I could move to Canada where there are actual “rational thinking leaders”. It is so refreshing to listen to President Trudeau…he seems so sane, so even tempered and SO normal and he presents himself as a very mature thinking adult with excellent leadership, communication and motivational skills. So sad that we cannot say that about Trump and his pathetic “cult-like” followers!

You need to speak to our president Donald J. Trump , Trudeau , we the people could care less about what a soci a list leader like yiu has to say...

As a Canadian my personal politics may not always be in line with other citizens of the world, however I can respectfully agree to disagree, allowing more dialogue and discussion to continue in order to reach an agreeable compromise to find the best winning formula for all concerned. \nI have watched and listened to many American politicians from John F Kennedy to Joe Bidden, to leaders like Marin Luther King, Malcolm X, Bernie Saunders, all have something in common, respect, decorum, world knowledge, integrity, truth, honesty, honour, and heart. \nStrength is when you are able to reach out to lift someone up not to knock them down. Even the greatest professional boxers know the difference of being humble and kind when there advisory is in trouble. \nFor the first time in the history of your country you have a bully, narcissist and pathological liar, who is vulgar and unpolished as a man, father and as the President of your nation.\nI have seen our own Canadian leaders, make mistakes, stumble and fail, however they displayed grace and admitted to their shortcomings.\nI have never seen a world leader be obsessed with things such as plastic straws, pennies, flushing toilets, Hannibal Lecter, Arnold Palmer's manhood, a leader who's completely obsessed with selling souvenir and bubbles while his citizens are homeless, hungry, jobless, with runaway inflation so that something as simple as a dozen eggs are now a luxury item. \n\nYou have a president who spends millions of dollars so that he can play golf at one of his own properties, meanwhile his country is neglected. \nA brief look at his past record the pandemic under his watchful eye would have you drink bleach as a cure as many died and billionaires increased their combined wealth by trillions of dollars while the middle class and poor suffered. \nThe opioid crisis was settled under his watch which let Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family avoid jail time for committing the death and destruction of millions of lives in America. Yet Donald Trump is obsessed with the drug cartels in other countries yet he overlooks those terrorist in his own country. Is it because they are billionaires and potential cronies of his?\nRather than be completely obsessed with tariffs and creating the next disaster with his Trump Gaza Holocaust Resort, Your leader could be looking at fixing the country's infrastructure of roads, brides, tunnels, ensuring a healthy supply of drinking water, rail, housing for the homeless, affordable health care, affordable education, etc.\n\nDonald Trump is surrounded by his clowns is not just making a mockery of your country but is leading you into a very dark hole. \nThe shame and humiliation that Donald Trump has brought to your country since his inauguration will take years to correct if he is stopped now. If you the American people wait four years, WW Three will be here and it will take centuries to recover. \nTHE FUTURE IS NOW, NOT IN FOUR YEARS. AS AMERICANS YOU MUST BE WILLING TO ENSURE A TOMORROW FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.... UNDER THE CURRENT REGIME YOU ARE HEADED TO A DEAD END.

Trump doesn’t care about drugs. It’s just an excuse to slap tariffs. Just like Russia “looking for nazis” excuse to invade Ukraine

Call out Trumps lies just like that???????????

Will you all stop watching what Trump is doing!!!! And start seeing the things he's doing behind your backs!!! He is giving billions in contracts to Musks companies and firing anyone who doesn't agree with them. They will never leave the Whitehouse, or if they do they will be taking billions if not trillions of American dollars with them most probably to Russia who will then rage war on America when your on the bones of your backside and no economy to fight. Your all looking in the wrong places, someone like Trump or Elon or Putin never let you see what's in their left hand when showing you their right, wake up America and impeach him now or you will have no country left ???❤

Trump wants to close the borders and wants to turn the United States into a Russian model of WWII Germany to control everything and turn us into a Russia like nation. That is what I See.

What Trump seems to try to get at most is the unfair act of the USMCA. Most trades benefited Canada, while Canada refused to provide the same fair trades. Sometimes Trump does say things that may have gone off track like fentyl handling on Canada's end and border handling. It seems like our borders at the time were less strict on the American side versus the Canadian side of the border. Trump did state multiple times that most countries like Canada were unfair to USA. Even with the USMCA, America got screwed by Mexico as will. America has been there helping and supporting and submitting to every country. Yet failed to support our own people when we need it, especially to clear up our own debts. Sadly, America is falling behind due to poor handling of Government Democrat corruption. I am neutral as both parties don't always provide the best solution for everyone. You have to pick who can help the American people. Seeing how corrupt the Democrats has ran America and the defacto behind of all the wars and money laundering has surprised me, and I hope the change with Trump will help everyone realize how screwed we all are in correcting those corruption that isn't really needed.

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!!!

Thats what a leader sounds like not Trump

You believe in working together until you force your Truckers to take shots like farm animals, then you shut down their banks, then you stole their bitcoin. Don't lecture us about working together. Your own people can't stand you, and neither can we. I think it's an honor that President Trump calls you Governor, because you are terrible at leading a country. We care about you as a human, and a person created in the image of God, but most Americans are very unhappy with you lack of leadership, and style of tyrannical incompetence. Canada would be much better off with America's constitution and wealth. If you really want to work with America, let the people decide. America loves Canada and we welcome you with open arms.❤

To all Americans, this is not personal but we are going to fight Trump's Tariffs with everything we can muster! We will take financial pain and deprive ourselves of AMERICAN products we love! Look at WW2 and you will see Canadians never give up! We almost never pick a fight but if forced, we will fight till the end! We stopped Fentanyl cold and your President ignored it because his agenda is to drive Canada to financial ruin, so we ask to be a state! Mark these words well Canada will never ever become the 51st state of the USA! This is not our of anger or distain! No, it is the quiet patriotism and love of country that Canadians have that we choose to remain Canada ,and always will! I ask facetiously; would you Americans like to become a Province of Canada? I didn't think so!

AMERICA IS OVER RATED AND RACIST. IM A AFRICAN AMERICAN LIVING IN SAN FRANCISCO. ITS TRULY SAD TO SEE THIS PLACE LOOK CRAZY LIKE THIS. ALIENATING US FROM ALL OTHER COUNTRIES BECAUSE TRUMP SAYS SO

Treating your Allies like that... unbelievable. Trump needs to be impeached. Americans need to WAKE THE FU CK UP
