If this were just about Trump then it would be easy to ignore. But of the 244m eligible US voters, 77m voted for Trump to appease Putin and sell out their friends; 88m couldn't be bothered to vote at all. That's 165m US voters who don't care whether the US breaks its word, attacks its allies, and supports Putin. Or worse, actively support it.

Trump doesn't know what he's doing...he goes off on his emotions. He likes to act tough knowing full well that he's not. He's Putin's puppet...he worships Putin and Putin is just laughing at him.

The Trump-Musk-Vance triumvirate is stabbing all of America’s allies, except war criminal B. Netanyahu, and supporting long-time US challenger Putin.\n\nMake sense of that. This is all destroying America’s international capacities and only growing the strength Europeans’ ennemies.

Trump is a literary an Russian agent that works for Putin imbedded in American politics!!! \n\nHe is literally trying to destroy America and it's relationship to Americas allies! \n\nHow can russia destroy the undistructable America ?? \n Simple destroy it from within!! \n\nThis conspiracy theory somehow makes more sense than Trump's fentanylls bs reasoning for putting tarrifs to our closest allies!! \n\nThis tarrifs just proves that Donald Trump is a traitor to America

Trump is a demonstrable Putin's lackey and a bona fide KGB agent in the Oval Office to do Kremlin's biddings to ultimately destroy the US!

I can't believe Trump did this. Just bashing all our allies and loving on Putin. What a sad day to be an American. Sorry, our Canadian friends, hopefully the tough times will pass and we can heal this Trump created wound.

Thank you Mr Trudeau for your calm and honest words that Trump is out of control and obviously more interested in kowtowing to Putin than preserving our relationship with our allies.

Putin has Trump dancing like a string puppet. \n\nHe has Trump causing all this turmoil creating economic calapse. \n\nHe's going to get Trump to lift sanctions so Putin can rebuild his military and weapons until Russia becomes more powerful than America. \n\nThen Putin will take Trump's lunch money.

Trump and Vance are not to be trusted, taking their marching orders from the Kremlin, following the Putin playbook.

cant wait till someone goes for trump again and not miss. You guys have putin's buddy as a president. Theres something very wrong there. A Russian ally as president. People of USA got duped

It makes no sense that Trump would be so aligned with Putin if there were not something shady going on.

I wish Trudeau was our president. I hate what is happening in the U.S. because of Trump and his minions. Putin must be gleeful at the destruction of the U.S. and all of the favors that Trump has given to him. The American people do not want this horror show that Trump and Musk has orchestrated. The Trump cult is bringing the downfall of America in the world. We are no longer the 'home of the free and the brave', and Trump is no longer the 'leader of the free world'. America will diminish and become a small, petty, stupid, country. I am glad for Trudeau, and Micron, and the UK and all of the democratic countries and people. I feel horrible for what is happening to Ukraine because of Trump. Mr. Trudeau, you are a fine and wonderful person and head of your country. I wish that you could help us out of this madness. :(

It is very simple. Trump loyalty is with Putin not any of our allies?

Trump is a traitor that should get the chair for treason being puppy of Putin

Trump want to be like Putin that why he is in his plan if he got any chance he coup America

We the People of America are FULLY AWARE that we have a bunch of crazy monkeys in the Whitehouse right now, and Trump is a Putin wanna be. This is EXACTLY what Putin wants, Trump fell for it.

Trump is working for Putin. It was clear for years. Why nobody has ever done anything about it?

Trump has a fetish for Putin

I just want to know what Putin has on Trump? I smell FISH and I will not be proud to be an American until we get rid of this shameful administration.

This isn't about fentanyl or the borders it's about Trumps desire to make money off tariffs so he can pay for tax cuts to his billionaire ass kissers while the first lady Musk is stealing money from government offices. Trump is not a smart man. Recently he said this was a bad agreement and who the hell signed this speaking about the last trade agreement with Canada and Mexico. Well it was you Dumb Donald. Nothing more than a child bully.\n This idiot thinks Zelensky is a dictator but refuses to call Putin a dictator WTF . He says Ukraine started the war, what a retarded scumbag. Good luck the next 4 years UST, United States of Trump.

As an American, we didn't want this either. The Americans who voted for Trump didn't want to believe his true agenda and we are all paying the price for it. Siding with Putin is beyond scary. Our own President is a traitor and makes zero effort to hide it. We are in deep trouble

It's really obvious that /trump is on bed with Putin. They have some back door deal going on for personal enrichment and art of that deal is for /trump to destabilize the free world and it might even be necessary to do that to close their deal. Trump isa very sick individual. No sane person would do his.

Trump can't prove that these drugs are coming through Canada unseen. This is only designed to destabilize The United States so that we are forced into dealing with Putin and Russia. Don't forget, Trump said he wants to extend his Presidency past this term and the next. His goal is to become like Putin. To become a dictator. Don't lose sight of what is to come. Do not just focus on what is happening today.

Either Putin has some very serious dirt on Trump or Trump is even more demented that we thought.

ALL of the tariffs and threats are static to cover up Trumps treason with Russia. Putin owns Trump. Please recognize this reality.

How stark the contrast is between Prime Minister Trudeau and Trump. Monsieur Trudeau, you are a true leader of your people. Trump, you are a true puppet of Putin. What shame he brings upon the people of the USA ?

Donald Trump and his administration have been captured by Russia. Every single thing he does that seems not to make sense, which seems to hurt America, are directives from Vladimir Putin. He wants to weaken America and destabilize the West. And he found individuals willing to commit treason in order to do his bidding. I hope the rest of the world understands what has happened to the U.S. government. Many of us, who didn't vote for Trump, understood he was a Russian asset. Trump voters rejected this and believed his lies. The majority of Trump voters will soon realize they have been betrayed. They don't have to become Democrats to abandon Trump and fight against this Russian takeover of our country. We need them. We need the world's help.

Yes Trump is definitely being played by Putin

Thanks, Trump. Smart move!! ? \nLooks like Putin and Trump found each other! ??

The sooner Ukraine and Palestine cede their land the sooner Trump and Putin can build hotels there.

Trump knows Putin put the nuclear trigger on his own life

Are you listening\nDonald trump looking for wealth ,Putin seeking power control, Donald trump falling for it ,Putin don't trust America

As a life-long Ameri an citizen, I 100% stand with Canada. \nThe idiots that voted for Trump,your orange messiah, I really hope you go broke and homeless because you're just as guilty as he is. So be proud because you voted him into office knowing how his first term was and that he is a 34 time CONVICTED felon. And YOU voted this back into office. You worship Trump like he is your messiah ,your god,your idol so when WW3 is declared against America and his little friend Putin will all be a trap to have Trump assassinated, I hope you stand around and claim this on your shoulders then because again, YOU have done this.

If Trumps' aim is to somehow go down in history as the President who stopped the Ukraine Russo war he is making a big mistake. By acquiescing to Putin he will just go down as a traitor to his country, and the Western Allies.

Trumps basically no better than Putin, Kim Jong whatever the fuckers name is and that Chinese chap. America, sort your shit out.

IMHO Trump is simply in Putin's pocket, most of his voters probably have no idea. The Russians have bailed Trump out of financial trouble many times. He's their guy.

Has anybody considered Trump is on Putin payroll ?

I loved the speech of PM Trudeau- but one thing he kept saying is wrong. Our government did not do this - One man did this via executive orders. He does not care who he hurts. He does not care about the American people. Trump only cares about himself and his relationship with Mother Russia and Putin. TRUMP doesn't want peace. He is thriving on the chaos that he and Musk are initiating. Trump needs to be impeached immediately but our Congresmaen and women, who are supposed to represent their populations are too scared to do anything other than what Trump tells them to do. Our Government is supported to have a Check and Balance function, but none of the branches have the guts to stand up to TRump. I really believe that Trump's American first policy is to end up as America ALONE.

Trump clearly wants to be at war with everyone, including his own people, everyone except for Russia. The only person who has benefitted since Trump came to power is Putin.

This is a pretext to invade Canada. Your border had better be more than safe. Fentanyl is a subterfuge, Trump wants your land to then have access to your resources and the Arctic. Trump and Putin have an agreement, and Canada and Greenland are not a part of it. You are a pawn to be taken to achieve those aims.

So, has the USA under Trump turned into a Russian asset.?\nSeriously, the rest of the civilised world especially us in the UK are looking in open-mouthed astonishment at the behaviour of the nominal leader of the free world.\nAmerica is morphing into a broken and divided society, but in the meantime, you're scaring everyone else guys, including your historical allies, because Trump is untrustworthy, he's coming across like a gangster who sees everything as a opportunity for self-enrichment.\nTrump is looking like Putin's Poodle.\nPutin really has got him on a collar and lead, definitely his yappy little Handbag dog..!!!

Damn he is pretty, smart and strong, that's crazy hahaha...anyways, trump is Putin's puppet

I don't think this is about drugs or border issues at all. This is about Trump wanting to rule an empire like his hero Putin.

Dear Canadians, \nIt will be extremely painful but I know, without a doubt, that you will NOT bend the knee to trump nor putin. \nYou will overcome and come out stronger without the whims of the United States minority rule where white Americans control the lives and futures of the rest and the cowardice of the republicans that kiss their leader's feet for fear of being primaried by his billionaire master. \nI look forward to seeing you on the other side stronger, prouder, and more independent than you have ever been.\nMy full respect and admiration go to each of you❤\nGodspeed Canada

Canada will have to explain to convicted felon Donald Trump what fertilizer is, among other things. But it also needs to understand that Donald Trump wanted Canada to be the 51st state because he has already made the United States Russia’s 47th oblast, and he wants to give Putin control of ALL of the real estate around the north Polar Sea. That’s also why Trump wants Greenland.

Putin wants to ruin us and Trump is his puppet. Stop Trump. Stop Musk.

Trump as he announced wants Canada and Greenland that is why those tariffs are in place , that is why why he thinks of Putin like his hero and giving on Ukraine. Tariffs war is just a beginning

Trump and putin decided to rule the ?

Wake up everyone, as an American citizen, I'm telling you Trump is a TRAITOR to our country and is creating a New World Order with Putin and Russia!

The Free and democratic countries must stand together against Putin, Trump and their oligarchs.
