Trump must be the most hated man in the world. He’s has overtaken Putin!

Trump's pulling out of the U.N. Human Rights Council is reckless and shameful. Instead of leading the fight against human rights abuses, Trump is handing a victory to dictators and despots. Walking away doesn’t make the world better—it makes it easier for the worst regimes to act with impunity. Once again, Trump weakens America and betrays our values.

Who gives ? \nGet em out \n\nI'm noticing that there are some folks doing some serious whining about the Trump administration. So I thought I'd post some thoughts. \n\n1. Accept the fact that this is the leadership that we (the majority of) working, middle class Americans wanted. We are pulling the economic weight in this country and we are tired of pulling the weight of those that do not contribute.\n\n2. If you haven't already, get a job. Every business in the country is hiring. And you get paid for the work you do. And the harder you work and the more you learn, the faster you will advance, and the more you will earn. It's an amazing concept.\n\n3. Understand that if you are a U.S. Citizen, or have already started the legal process to become a U.S. Citizen that you are not going to get deported! I don't care what your favorite liberal media channel says.\n\n4. Tariffs are a bargaining chip. When you are in business you make deals, and sometimes you have to play hardball. That's how you get the deals you desire.\n\n5. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects you from discrimination by age, sex, race, etc. DEI openly violates this. Democrats want you to believe the opposite is true because they value your vote more than your quality of life.\n\n6. It's not the government's money, it's your money. You absolutely should give a damn about how it is spent.\n\n7. We are not the World Bank. If other countries need help they should raise their own finances. I don't recall receiving any hurricane relief money from India or China.\n\n8. Drill baby, drill. Want to know why? Because we have it. Are electric cars the future? Not in their current form. There is way more oil in the ground than lithium, and guess where most of that is? China. Want food prices to come down? Then energy costs have to come down. And that means oil, gas, coal, and nuclear. Unicorn farts and liberal tears won't power your car!\n\n9. The economy and the security of the country are far more important than your feelings, get over it.\n\n10. There are men and there are women. Simple as that.\n\n11. Education is to establish a learning core that prepares a child for the real, working world. Anything else is wrong.\n\n12. Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States and he won by a landslide — both the popular vote and the electorial vote. Get over it.

Don't worry, trump has already started us down the path of being a lawless and unsafe fiefdom just like the 3rd world countries he criticizes. Complete with them brazenly looking to enrich themselves, their friends and family. USA + MAGA = 3rd world shithole

i hope people continue to place the blame on trump rather than the usa in general. most of the usa find this treatment of ppl disgusting. and with trump gutting the fbi and cia the last thing we need is more enemies around the world. its a sad day for the west.

Trump dgas. His job is to head ‘em up, and move ‘em out. I thought was crystal clear in Nov. As long as we ain’t roughing them up, idc how we get them out of here. They’re supposed to be mostly all criminals first anyway. They’re probably all in jail in India now. \nAnd if you live in a world where you welcome this invasion, then Fed aid may be a problem obtaining.

YOU GUYS LET NAZIS GET THE POWER IN USA. Y'ALL KNOW WHAT YOU DID? \n \nThe USA external, environment and climate policy will destroy our planet, we need to stop Trump right now ! \n \nResistance to the nazis! Marvel reported this moment in Captain America 2. \n \nThe only way to save America from the nazi-fascist regime is all people over the world stop buying products and services made in USA. \nIt is a drastic measure but it will put the regime down, when your measures reach most richests pockets out causing them finantial damages, \nthey will put the congressmen to do the impeachment. American people will suffer in a first moment but will cure the disease.

Crazy \nHow the MEDIA insights HATE... An ILLEGAL is an ILLEGAL, not just in this county but all countries... Why are the Indians not burning their own flag, India treats their citizens like Shit and the Whole World KNOWS THAT ! ! ! In India you are either rich or destitute...??? That is why the Indian Government is still friendly with President Trump

not good,these will translate to ,revenge on Americans later. \nwhy would they do that?they are already inside a plane, just free them in the plane,no need to be escorted. just let their arrival country,receive them,without those cuffs or shackles,there will be revenge back to Americans in Indian prisons,and might do the same in counter revengeand Americans overseas will never be safe.its like we are making another september 11 , or making more people becomes terrorists to Americans, there are more than 1 billion Indians around the world. its like Americas is expoinentiating haters or terrorists,its ok if they would just do it to Trump, but i doubt it, peaceloving Americans abroad are on the risk of revengeso my best advise is stop doing this way,just deport them the right way, send them without those shackles , and cuffs,its not neccessary.

Disgusting actions by Trump and his sycophant supporters. The world hates the U.S. Trumps 18 days in office has been a disaster. He is unfit for office and must be impeached.

Trump; distraction, cruelty, chaos. Isolate US from world. Cut off communication to citizens, set up prison camps, promote ethnic cleaning in the Middle East. Deport your detractors. What a guy!

The world hates Trump, well done America.

Lesson learnt..good Mr Trump...all World presidents must not practice corruption for welfare being of their citizens

Lmfao CNN REALLY TRIED TO SAY THAT THE MEXICAN TROOPS WERE ALREADY THERE AND THAT TRUMP DISNT DO ANYTHING REALLY HOW PATHETIC OF CNN HOW IN THE WORLD ARE YOU GUYS STILL IN Business OH wait you BIG corporations pay and control you guys no wonder

Great Mr. Trump!!! Show the world how to handle illegal migrants!!!

How trump one a take on the\nwhole world. It will soon crush hell out a him\nTime trump! Time. Your time soon come\n God a God, he never sleeps

Can you blame them. The previous administration offered a premium benefits package to any and everyone who wanted it. It was a literal freeforall. Now that a non globalist, non(I'm just going to say it)ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT administration is handling the border of the US, these people are stunned. They are pissed off that the free ride is over. Chances are, President Trump would love nothing more than to do business with the countries sending these people. He would love to make deals that would strengthen their economy, give people a reason to live there. Maybe these leaders should bring something to the table other than droves of their own citizens complaining about how bad the situation has become in their home countries. We've already got enough of those here as it is. Sorry.

Thank you President Trump for all that you do, to make the world a better and safer place...

I think the problem with many US attitudes is they have been brainwashed that they are the BEST in the world. Many have not travelled outside their country and still think that….based on what? When we have travelled to many places, Americans are not looked on favourably as tourists. Sorry, truth. Healthcare and US justice systems are broken and racism is rampant. I have “close” family living in US for over 25 years and now we don’t talk. They have been sucked into the Trump vortex, very sad.

How one person can upset the world balance is insane and is indicative of a tyrant and a dictator..Trump is no American and is in fact a Grifter, and a real good one at that..

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!!!

As one of the world leaders, President Trump should also order the deportation of White land thieves in South Africa & Australia back to Europe (they stole the land from Blacks), & for Christopher Columbus, who supposedly 'discovered' America in 1492, though he found 112 MILLION BLACKS & RED INDIANS living in peace, but MASSACRED 106 MILLION of them in order to settle Whites from Europe (these people r so heartless), to be charged posthumously for GENOCIDE & ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE, & for DECEIVING billions of people for more than 500 years regarding the fake 'discovery'. This should duely be followed by RETURNING the land of America back to its owners; Blacks & Red Indians. Meaning that Trump too, should be deported back to Germany or Scotland, where his ancestors came from. No double standards. If one's history is fake, it sure has to change when TRUTH comes out.

Illegal means illegal no matter what part of the world they came from. Biden-Harris let in anyone, unvetted & unchecked. That proved both dangerous & expensive to our citizens & Biden-Harris also were giving illegals OUR taxpayer monies for shelter, food, medical & other things. That wasnt their monies to give & we now have a president looking out for American citizens. So, just an fyi. If you are caught by I.C.E. it could mean a permanent ban from this country. Go on your own & you could come back legally at some point. Right now all incoming is paused while Trump-Vance clean up Biden & Harris's mess!

How many illegal migrants of US ppl around the world.... Sending them with this kind of seen it's not acceptable. In that case Trump should be in jail for his financial frauds in his own country

So what if they're from Africa. If they are here illegally, they have to go to. Now President Donald J Trump has to stand on his word and get rid of all illegals, that looks like him my skin color,race shouldn't mean a thing get rid of them. All of those people here from the Ukraine here that are receiving a social security check and our Medicare system along the ones from all around the world and is a drain on our economy have got to go. It's all about the United States of America that matters . President Donald J Trump if you are a man of your word, keep your foot on the gas. They all have to go, no more time to waste.

Liberal … that’s how the western world got crazy …. Thank the almighty trump is president

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.

Canada and Mexico need to find other trade partners and have stronger relationships with other countries and start trading with each other stop relying on America for everything just because they are closer start trading with Denmark . Canada in general get along better with other countries better then America America will end up suffering not Canada . When you start treating your trading partners bad it only affects America in the end ….. Canada will find other countries. We are not hated around the world …. They want to pick a fight with Canada then stop being so nice ?. As a Canadian it’s too stop relying on America for everything we have our own natural resources and trump wants them . Cut him out 100%. Let America be it’s on island time to start trading with other countries. Americans will end up paying MORE FOR ITS PICK UP TRUCK the jokes on them . Stop selling gas to the USA on a discount make them pay higher prices.

Trump has put the USA in a world of Hurt. China has just imposed a 100% ban on the export of all product using precious metals to the USA. Pretty much everything we use today has a component in it made of precious metal, military equipment, cell phones, tv ,telecommunication equipment, Automobiles and many many other things. Canada is still selling the raw metals to China and receiving the chips and circuit boards back to continue their production process.....If you think Covid disrupted the production process.....Just wait USA is in for a world of economic hurt.

Go Trump Go save America, the whole world needs to fallow this example immediately

Trump is trying to Isolate USA from the world.

So, Trump is evil, the world hates us, and we are all going to go broke and starve. Yet thousands of people are trying to get in every day for hopes of a better life.. Something doesn't add up

Donald Trump is the savior to the world. Respect for that great man❤❤❤

This is why they need to leave Africans in their country with their minerals and their wealth so that they can look after their people and then they wouldn't have to be going all over the world cuz everything that they need would be in their country but the West has robbed Africa for centuries and look what Trump is do you know when they are all a part of it

Trump says EU tariffs will ‘definitely happen’ as Mexico, Canada and China retaliate \nTrump takes softer line on UK, saying ‘I think that one can be worked out’, while Mexico and Canada vow levies and to strengthen ties with each other \n \nPhilip Wen, Léonie Chao-Fong and agencies \nMon 3 Feb 2025 03.57 GMT \nShare \nDonald Trump has threatened to widen the scope of his trade tariffs, repeating his warning that the European Union – and potentially the UK – will face levies, even as he conceded that Americans could bear some of the economic brunt of a nascent global trade war. \n \nIt comes as Trump’s tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, announced on Saturday, sparked retaliation from all three countries. Mexico and Canada have vowed levies of their own while China and Canada are seeking legal challenges. \n \nTrump said on Sunday night that new tariffs on the EU will “definitely happen”, repeating previous complaints about the large US trade deficit with the bloc and his desire for Europe to import more American cars and agricultural products. \n \nEmpty shelves remain with signs ''Buy Canadian Instead'' after the top five US liquor brands were removed from sale at a British Columbia liquor store in Vancouver. \nAsian sharemarkets tumble in response to Trump tariffs \nRead more \n“It will definitely happen with the European Union, I can tell you that,” he told reporters. “I wouldn’t say there’s a timeline but it’s going to be pretty soon.” \n \nTrump appeared to take a softer line on the UK, citing a good relationship with prime minister Keir Starmer while saying tariffs still “might happen”. “The UK is out of line but I’m sure that one, I think that one can be worked out,” he said. \n \n“Well Prime Minister Starmer’s been very nice, we’ve had a couple of meetings, we’ve had numerous phone calls, we’re getting along very well, we’ll see whether or not we can balance out our budget.” \n \nIn Canada, the department of finance published a list of US products imported into Canada that it will target with a 25% retaliatory tariff starting on Tuesday. \n \nThe list shows products that will be hit in the first round of retaliatory tariffs by Canada starting on Tuesday, and mounts to $30bn Canadian dollars’ worth of goods (about US$20bn). The impacted products include tobacco, produce, household appliances, firearms and military gear. \n \nCanada is also preparing for a second, broader round of retaliatory tariffs in 21 days that will target an additional C$125bn (US$86bn) worth of US imports. The second list would include passenger vehicles, trucks, steel and aluminum products, certain fruits and vegetables, beef, pork, dairy products and more. \n \nFILES-US-CANADA-MEXICO-CHINA-TRADE-TARIFFS<br>(FILES) US President Donald Trump speaks to the press after signing an executive order in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC on January 31, 2025. Trump is imposing steep tariffs on major US trading partners Canada, Mexico and China, with a lower rate on Canadian energy imports, said the White House on February 1, 2025. Washington will impose a 25 percent levy on imports from Canada and Mexico, with a 10 percent rate on Canadian energy resources, until both work with the United States on drug trafficking and immigration. Goods from China, said the White House, would face 10 percent tariffs.

Sheinbaum, in a statement on Sunday, said she will announce details on her government’s “plan B” as she insisted that Mexico “doesn’t want confrontation”. \n \n“Problems are not addressed by imposing tariffs, but with talks and dialogue,” she said. “Sovereignty is not negotiable: coordination yes, subordination no.” \n \n'Coordination yes, subordination no': Mexican president responds to Trump's tariffs – video \nSheinbaum and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau spoke by phone on Saturday after Trump’s administration imposed the new tariffs – 25% on goods from Canada and Mexico, with a lower rate of 10% for Canadian oil, and 10% on imports from China. \n \nTrudeau’s office said in a statement that Canada and Mexico agreed “to enhance the strong bilateral relations” between their countries. Canadian officials have had extensive dialogue with their Mexican counterparts, but a senior Canadian official said he would not go as far as to say the tariff responses were coordinated. \n \n“Now is the time to choose products made right here in Canada,” Trudeau posted Sunday on X. “Check the labels. Let’s do our part. Wherever we can, choose Canada.” \n \nTrump acknowledged the sweeping tariffs he has imposed on Mexico, Canada and China may cause “short term” pain for Americans as global markets reflected concerns the levies could undermine growth and reignite inflation. Asian markets, cryptocurrencies and US and European stock futures slumped in early Asian trading on Monday. \n \n“We may have short term some little pain, and people understand that. But long term, the United States has been ripped off by virtually every country in the world,” he said. day, Trudeau said: “We’re certainly not looking to escalate, but we will stand up for Canada.” However on Sunday evening, a senior government official from Canada briefing reporters in Ottowa on condition of anonymity said: “We will obviously pursue the legal recourse that we believe we have through the agreements that we share with the United States.” \n \nThe official said the Canadian government considered the move by Trump illegal and said it violates the trade commitments between the two countries under their free trade agreement and under the World Trade Organization. \n \n“If other legal avenues are available to us, they will be considered as well,” the official said. \n \nCanada is the largest export market for 36 states, and Mexico is the largest trading partner of the US. \n \nCanada and Mexico ordered the tariffs despite Trump’s further threat to increase the duties charged if retaliatory levies are placed on US goods. \n \nChina also said it would file a lawsuit against the tariffs. The imposition of tariffs by the US “seriously violates” World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, China’s commerce ministry said in a statement, urging the US to “engage in frank dialogue and strengthen cooperation”. \n \nFiling a lawsuit with the WTO would be a largely symbolic move that Beijing has also taken against tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles by the EU. \n \nThe commerce ministry also said the tariffs were “not only unhelpful in solving the US’s own problems, but also undermine normal economic and trade cooperation”. China has said it would take countermeasures to “safeguard its own rights and interests”. It is not clear exactly what form these will take yet. But for weeks Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning has said Beijing believes there is no winner in a trade war. \n \nLate Sunday night, Trump said he would speak with Trudeau on Monday morning and shortly after said he would speak with Mexico as well, although he did not specify that he would speak with Sheinbaum. \n \nBeyond the official response, people were already thinking of ways to cope with Trump’s decision, including by sharing suggestions on social media for alternatives to US products. \n \nCanadian hockey fans booed the US national anthem on Saturday night at two National Hockey League games. The booing continued on Sunday at an NBA game in Toronto where the Raptors played the Los Angeles Clippers. \n \nFrom left to right, Toronto Raptors forwards Bruce Brown, Scottie Barnes and Chris Boucher react as fans boo the United States national anthem before NBA basketball game action against the Los Angeles Clippers in Toronto, Sunday, Feb. 2, 2025. (Frank Gunn/The Canadian Press via AP) \nToronto Raptors fans boo US national anthem after Donald Trump tariffs \nRead more \nOne fan at the Raptors game chose to sit during the anthem while wearing a Canada hat. Joseph Chua, who works as an importer, said he expects to feel the tariffs “pretty directly”. “I’ve always stood during both anthems. I’ve taken my hat off to show respect to the American national anthem, but today we’re feeling a little bitter about things,” he said, adding that he will start to avoid buying US products. \n \nIn the streets, people in Mexico were trying to absorb the announcement on Sunday, although some in the capital acknowledged that they were unaware of the measures. \n \nIn the border city of Mexicali, across from Calexico, California, some people were concerned about the wider implications of a trade war. \n \nDriver Alejandro Acosta says that he crosses the border weekly in his truck to deliver vegetables to US companies. He said he fears US businesses in the Mexicali Valley will no longer want to operate in Mexico and they will move to the US. \n \n“If they raise taxes on the factories here, jobs may also decrease,” he said.

25% is outrageously high. When it comes to the world economy, you don’t make waves. 10% should be max to start off with. I can agree with many of the changes Trump is making, but not this one.

Many do not know that dems gave canada 100+billions of grants per year to do dems biding. Canada will be back to 2nd world economy without these grants. Thats why Trump is angry. Taking usa money but only do dems bidding

I will help you because you turned blind.\n\nTrump followed the Putin doctrine.\n\n1: Ally with Oligarchs \n2: Paint a false picture about the world/brainwash people.\n3: now for the future (make Americans more poor) that way they have less power.\n\n4: Take the territories you like for legacy. (If Trump snatches Canada and Greenland) USA will be the biggest country in the world.\n\nCongratz The world now has one more dictator to deal with.\n\nHope this was what the voters hoped for.

North America has a trade agreement that Trump negotiated in 2017. He said it was the best trade agreement in the world. More drugs and people cross from the USA than from Canada. So what's the real story?

I am a Canadian in Alberta and the reality is that the Liberals have weakened the Canadian economy and our standing in the world. Their decision to cripple our oil and gas industry and our lack of ability export our products elsewhere in the world is an issue created by the policies of the Liberals. To impose a carbon tax and further weaker the average Canadian is terrible. There are some policies I don't like out of the U.S. but the reality is that it is never an idea to pick a fight with the toughest kid on the block knowing you will lose. Trump doesn't even want the tariffs he wants Canada to pull it's weight in defense spending and cooperation. Trudeau backstabbed Trump in the past and that won't be forgotten. We need a new government with a leader that understands more than being a drama teacher and snowboarder. Unfortunately, most of the significant issues Canada faces is the result of self inflicted wounds resulting from incompetent leadership. We didn't have anywhere close this level of issues with the Harper government. We are lucky to have the U.S. as a neighbor so let's do what is good for both nations but there is no way the woke Liberal's can do it.

Trump has united Canada. As a Canadian I am proud to face this fight on behalf of the entire world. My parents suffered in the fight against fascism, its now my turn. Shame on America.

Work with Asia. Like China Taiwan Japan. There is no real friend in the world. Trump will cry once everyone work with China. He is pushing friends to the opposite side.

People ask who in the world will stand up to trump. Well you now have your answer, Canada and Mexico. Let’s rally round them.

Donald Trump is a orange stain on the world

One guy screwing up the world economy another looser keeping a war( Putin) going ? trump has no respect for Trudeau ( neither have most Canadians). But yes lets where all if this is going . At this point it’s more a hype about what trump announces . We can only react to it when it happens . For sure is that canada put to many eggs in one basket . For us the transport is short across the border but Europe would definitely benefit from our resources. The challenge is that trump is only in for 4 years , after his departure prices will stay up ,as history has proven .

The world will bycot US products. Lies deceit and creating mistrust are all Trump has to offer.

Well, I think Trump is right, TARRIF should be a two way system, if any country don't want to apply it is for their own good. Canada should realize how to protect itself and trade across the world. We have seen Trade Embargo how it works.

Make America Pay More Again! As disruptive and asinine as Trump's economic schemes may be, it's sadly necessary that AMERICANS (we are often a very self-centered and blissfully uninformed people) feel the consequences of their vote as soon as possible. Americans MUST feel the pain to grasp the gravity of what a tit-for-tat tariff tiff between the US and Lord-knows-what-nation-Donald-will-go-after-next won't likely end well for us. It is what it is, and Trump is what he is. The whole world has no choice but to let all this nonsense unfold.

Imagine if every leader and every country affected by Trump's actions took retaliatory steps in one form or another, who would suffer the most?!\n\nTrump and America must think before they act. It's America that has interests - political, economic, military, etc - in places like the Middle East, South America, Africa, etc. You've never seen Africans influence/have any desired outcome in American elections, but America, on the other hand, keeps toppling and installing regimes all over the world for their own interests...

Trump is the dumbest man alive, his greed is going to impact the world in a very bad way..
