Make America Canada. We don’t want Trump as a leader.

Canada doesn't seem to understand that we don't need them. We can make everything in america its simple. Thats the route trump is going. Sorry canada but time to take care of yourself. Its sad but canada should be able to take care of it's ppl on its own

Speaking the truth. I'ma nationalistic American and Canadian PM Trudeau is speaking the truth that we all wanna hear after what our own US president did to ruin America and make our lives worse. I fully support Canada now.

Trump will do what he has always done. Screw everyone over while he makes off with the money and throws everyone else under the bus. In this case, the entirety of America will be the ones under that bus. Trump will once again get away completely unpunished for his actions. \nTrump and musk both belong in prison.

Trudeau is dealing with a malignant narcissist. Even if Trump wants to, he can’t back down because he thinks it’ll make him look weak. America’s voters completely underestimated the danger of Trump’s personality disorder.

Mr President of Canada common Donald Trump know exactly what he's doing ‼️ he works for Russia he's here to destroy the United States and make it part of Russia or an ally of russia! And if America doesn't stand up he's going to succeed ‼️?????????????

Lol this guy is a joke, trump will make America great again! Halirious how Treadu is trying to make american fearful of the tarrifs. Its no pain, no gain. America will support their own and will supercede all countries in growth.

It's about money. Specifically Donald Trump getting as much money as possible from this term. Putin likely told him to make sure to distance America from its allies, so that he can use the USAs military gizmos to expand his mission to take over Ukraine amd any other country he wants. All this in exchange for making him and his cronies filthy rich. Trump keeps dropping clues about the plan. Elon, created Doge to weaken the economy even further so that the USAs assest are devalued and he can officially the US oligarchy. He's been in talks with Putin, we've seen them together. So now this Trump Gold card, is a way in for more oligarchs from Russia specifically to sweep up the remaining industries at a fraction of what they used to be valued. Then the USA will be the western arm of Putins empire. Since he made sure to obliterate all friendly relationships the US had with the western world, the other countries won't do anything to help the US so as to avoid all out war. Trump will then walk off into the sunset as one of the richest, if not the richest, man on earth.

GOOD ? DAY ? MATE! This is What the United ?? State's, Canada ?? and The Rest of the Free ? World get When Two Of the Biggest Narcissistic Tryant's Get Voted ? into Poeer and Control. Instability and Danger to Our National Security for Our Country ?? Canada ?? and Rest of the Free ? World. Higher Price's For All! All of the Populous Who ? Voted For These Two Narcissistic Tryant's Dictator Trump and Elon Musk. I Hope Y'all Are Happy Now! I Applaud ? Y'all! Make America ?? Weak and Isolated From the Rest of the Free ? World. Dictator Donald Trump is Just Another One of Vladimir Putin's Puppet's!

Let's make it make sense. Donald Trump is trying to hand America to Putin the best way he can. The country United States is ran by Soviet Union Russian agents!

6:43 Sure we stuck to our word but that's irrelevant. Dump is intent on getting his hands on Canada's natural resources because he thinks leaving any money on the table is criminal. He thinks it's a failing that we haven't treated our environment like an oligarch's playground, selling off everything to the highest bidder. This is what he has TOLD you he is planning for America and he's created this trade war smokescreen to keep everyone distracted while he does it. He won't be done until all of North America and Greenland are barren and there's no profit left to make.

Can someone stop the dictator and tyrant? Its crazy how this orange pig is destroying the economy he is no making America great he is just a Putin’s lapdog…

TRUMP SAID LET'S MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN THEN LET'S MAKE AMERICA CRYING FIRST!

You know I'm'm reading all these comments about how much people support Canada and admire their prime minister and it makes me wonder who in America voted to give Donald Trump a 2nd term? How is it that he won the popular vote and the electoral vote? Either something is seriously wrong with our election system or Americans are bipolar!

Robert De Niro’s statement on Donald is perfect. \n\n “I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men. I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty. Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly. I see an evil one. Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.” Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong. Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped. Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them. We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego. We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership. We tried to warn the world in 2016. The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination. Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world. We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags. The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior. That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse. Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously. So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America: This is our last chance. Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator. And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided. So what do we do about it? I know I’m preaching to the choir here. What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls. We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice. Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them. Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect. Let’s not talk about “democracy.” “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. Let’s talk about right and wrong. Let’s talk about humanity. Let’s talk about kindness. Security for our world. Safety for our families. Decency. Let’s welcome them back. We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.””

I have lived in Canada for almost 50 years.. The United States of America has been our closest neighbour and friend ever since I came here.. \nLong before I came here Canada and the US were partners… \nWe relied on each other, we supported each other and we profited from each other..\nLet me make it perfectly clear I consider myself Canadian and I love the Americans like they were my own brothers and sisters.. \nAlso let it be known that our government does not speak for the citizens of this country… \nWe are being forced by the government to follow the rules. And now our government wants the American people to believe that all Canadians are against them. \nThat couldn’t be any further from the truth. \nI can’t say every single Canadian has respect for the Americans, but I myself respect America and honour Canada.. \nAs a true Canadian, we stand on guard for both countries.. God bless America…

Yall are sheep. \nEvery country needs imports. But America relies on so many other countries to keep itself going is more than unhealthy. If China and the US went to war, yes, China would suffer. But look around your house, I bet most of it says - Made In China. That can NOT happen to the extent it is. \n\nFun Fact- when Russia, Ukraine war started, Russia couldn’t get Coke ( Soda ) now Russia has many knock offs that they say taste just like ours. Point is, Russia started making their own. Yes, the US will always need imports. But did you know over a dozen + countries already have & had tariffs on the US for a LONG time, some are even our “ Allies “. Do you know why they do it? To protect their economy. To protect domestic goods. The short term is always the hardest. But it’s been proven that the long run, tariffs actually help a country’s economy. Also, the US gets shafted when it comes down to a lot of trade deals. Yeah, okay, imports are great… ( If you are getting a good deal )

Dont understand why trump is messing with canada, its actually fucking dumb. Trump talking about ww3, if America dont stop everyone will be against us. Drugs coming through different states from mexico to make it to Canada not from canada into the United States.

And most Americans are just sleeping on it and believe it will make America great again. Donald Thump is trying to take USA as his own. He will rewrite the constitution to allow him to stay in power for many many years just like Putin and Xi Jipeng. He know well once he step down. He will be jailed due to his criminal cahrges. So he will stay in power for as long as he want now

Who is Canada going to sell to? We need America. Go on diplomatic not insults. You are making things worse with the insults. Put your ego aside

this is america breaking up with the people that been abusing us. we are making are own shit now. we have to stop all these deal to make our own. this wont hurt america at all. biden put us to the max. with all the cuts from doge. are dollar is rising . and cost are going down.

He's talking to everyone who voted for Trump. And we respond with the middle finger. Make America great again. Kiss my ?

Canada and Mexico have always been family, as well as UK and Europe close friends and allies. Trump is by far the daftest president in the history of our nation, he’s destroying our economy and the well-being of the American people. All he’s doing is making the rich richer and getting rid of the middle class making families struggle. \n\nSo much for the equality and prosperity of our country. \n\nI really wish President Zelenskyy would not sign over any mineral l rights to the Ukraine. I felt embarrassed and completely appalled as an American for the treatment that he received. \n\nThe duped people who voted for Trump are now getting what they deserve. This presidency is not America first. \nThis presidency is about Trump and his friends changing all the laws for their own benefit lining their pockets.

To be clear for others, when Trudeau says 'they chose this' and pretty much every other time he uses the word 'they'... He means DJT, the moskow-mole currently occupying the office of US presidency. I stand with our allies, I hope in the coming years they can forgive us. Every day the moskow-mole is president makes it harder for these scars to mend. Wake up America and remember your founding by removing kings/dictators.

Hey Canadians, on behalf of the good people in America... I apologize for the ignorance and stupidity of one EMBARRASSING excuse of a leader that is not only sticking it to Americans in every way you can think ... I refuse to call him a president because he is NOT... He is a convicted felon, convicted on 34 felonies. He is a fraudster, a cheater, a LIAR, a thief, and a THUG! He is not a legal president because he cheated to get elected in the first place because he cheated in 2016 by having his Russian friends interfer in our election by smearing, and launching the wikileaks ĺeak that She had emails from her secratary of state days on an unsecured computer at the DNC Hillary Clinton, merely weeks ahead of the 2016 election.\nTrump also incited a seditious insurection in 2020 after losing that election failing his attempted coup to sieze power in an election he LOST! Donald Trump and many of the GOP that ran for thier lives on Jan. 6th 2021 now refer to the insyrection as a peacful gathering of non violent protesters... Trump calls it the best day ever!!! Think about that for a minute! The very first order of business Trump did after his inauguration was to pardon 1500 crimina convicts that either plead guilty or were found guilty of charges like sedition. And insurectionists. Many of them for violent crimes like battery on a police officer. And other charges loke trespassing on a federal building, and theft charges for stealing laptops and all sorts of things.\nDonald Trumps first act was to free all of them with a wave of a pen... he freed police bashers!!! And scum bags like Elmer Rhoads, and leader of the proud boys Enrique Tarrio... and all tge violent punks that tried to overturn a free and fair election!!! I is disgusting! HE a k so pardoned the biggest drug dealer in America that catered to criminals and murderers, the owner and inventer of the silk roads dark web site.\nTrump is a Russian asset, make no mistake about it. And fir the last 40 days or so he set about to burning down all American institutions with the help of his Billionaire campaign donors that agreed to get him elected for MORE MONEY!!! Trump is turningvon our trusted allies all friends, and siding with countries like Russua, North Korea, Iran, Turkey, and other countries that are under the control of string men autocrats, and dictators! He publicly called our friend and ally Vlidomir Zelenskyy a dictator! While at the same time calling Vladimir Putin a genius, and a really smart guy that wants peace he says!\nVladimir Putin is the worlds most cold blooded mass murderer of our lifetime and he is a war criminal that kills mostly civilians, women and children deliberatly!!! He poisons his political opponents and business partners with plutonium and other ways like having them thrown out a high ruse window, or shit from the sky in an airplane!!!\nDonald Trump is a maniac that Ameruca needs to desperately get rid of before he finishes the job of burning down all our institutions and burning our constitution and democracy in order to turn Ameruca into an autocracy...\nSo, Canadians.... we Americans are deeply embarrassed and we apologize for the reckless behavior of one man!! One ignorant man... Donald Trump. There has never been a more shameful and embarrassing time to be an American! Eff Trump!!!

I’d like someone to clarify why it would be advantageous for America to oppose its allies and align with Putin—I genuinely don’t get it, but I assume there must be some logical reasoning behind it, or at least an explanation that makes some kind of sense. I’d really appreciate it if someone could break it down for me.

The Canadian leader is speaking to the American people out of concern. Look at what a whole lot of uninformed folks have done. Once you hear this you will understand the hell we will wake up to. Tariffs to America by China, Mexico, Canada. Making us isolationist joining hand with Putin. Oh my God

Maybe America just doesn’t wanna be screwed over on everything they are just trying to make things fair and get Canada to do their part and have some patriotism seems like it’s working. And perhaps a little respect and gratitude would be in order instead of BS moral high ground and socialism.

Make America Great Again: 8647 ????

What's it about? It's about money. It's about a gangster family in the Whitehouse, and oligarchs in the administration, all trying to make as much money as possible. There's no other explanation possible. That's the only explanation that comes close to making any sense. Now more than ever, even if these tariffs are short-lived, Canada needs to move away from U.S. trade. This is necessary for the long term survival and prosperity of Canada. We need to make every effort to increase trade with the pacific rim, Europe and South America. There may be some short-term pain, but it has to happen. Given the events of the last few years in the U.S., Canadians have to realize that things can get even worse, and will likely never be the same. There is very little reason to believe that the ties Canada has had with the U.S. will ever be what they were, or indeed any reason to believe that that is even desirable now.

Trump supports won't watch or listen to this, people who hate Trump already know this.. this great speech is going to fall on deaf ears of the Maga Americans.\nCant Americans see Trump is literally making America shit cause he's a comprised Russian agent.

Hearing trade war with Canada shoukd make every single America realize our country’s president is not fit to lead us yet half the country is so brainwashed they could be convinced their own mothers are evil

In the USA. There is no justifiable or sensible reason to launch this trade attack on countries throughout the world. It hurts them, it hurts us (the working class American). This president makes any comment or accusation and insists we call it fact. I feel for Canada. America is in trouble too.

Just completely appalled that a serving US President has stabbed in the back Canada and Mexico , sold out Ukraine, insulted allies and allied with Putin. Is this making America great ?

We need to Make America Gay Again.

Sounds to me like Trudeau's scared of this trade war it's almost as if he didn't listen to anything Trump said. Make Canada America's 51st state it basically already is.

First of all, Justin Trudeau is the biggest liar there was and is.\n\nIf you don’t like the way, America is doing go to China asshole. Have China come in and tell you how to wipe your asses.\n\nAll the America is asking you to do is close up the borderand stop the fentanyl from coming over the border? I guess that it’s just too damn much to ask huh? You must be making some damn good money on the fentanyl.

The orange clown still does not understand how Tariffs work. It is evident he thinks it's a tax and when he sees the numbers in terms of government revenue accredited to tariffs, he ignorantly believes the country is making money. His understanding so simple he thinks he has raised GDP and is making America great again when in fact he is single handedly and in the face of universal opposition destroying the economy and causing grievous hardship to millions of Americans. Apparent friend to our worst enemies and himself the biggest enemy of the people.

Putin works for the Russian mob and Donald J Trump works for a dictator named Putin who wants to bring America to it's knees now this is a major problem. Donald J Trump has got to go immediately, forcefully and aggressively the individuals that work for the government that we will never know or hear of but make sure that Americans are safe from foreign and domestic terrorist so we may have a peace of mind while we sleep have a job to do godspeed to you.

We cannot make sense of any of this. Even the fact that he was voted in! America loves you.

Australia here ... What the $#@ is the go with Trump he is abandoning every ally and backing a Russian tyrant ... Make America great my arse !!! \nHe is gonna ruin America

As an American that did not nor never would vote for trump....there is no making sense out of his idiocy. He has made us less safe in the world, he has humiliated America. I cannot believe this is happening in my country, I'm so sad and sorry for the chaos he and the Republicans are causing.

Trump will not stop at this! He already said that he wanted to replace IRS with ERS (External Revenue Service). Trump wants to replace Income Tax with Tarrifs !!\nYes! MAGA will laugh and say No More Tax for all Americans!\nThey don't know that America raised a total income tax of 3 Trillion Dollars annually. But America also spend 3 Trillion dollars on imports! So to replace Income Tax with Tariffs, America needs to apply 100% tariffs on ALL Imports from All countries around the world!\nSo prices on imported goods will be at least double in America! That will make people buy less. Imports will drop! So even with 100% blanket tariffs it will not raise 3 Trillion dollars for Trump!\nWhat's more? As America tries to make more things in America to avoid tariffs, tariffs will dry up and where does Trump get 3 Trillion dollars? ?

Why is this dude still representing Canada? \n\nTwo months ago many of his key cabinets members resigned because Justin’s policies are destroying Canadians. Rightfully, he resigned. Dude needs to go away. Stop making Canada worse than what it has become under his horrendous leadership.\n\nThings happening:\n\nThe massive influx of foreigners, both legally and illegally into Canada.\n\nAffordable housing for native Canadians do not exist, people are leaving the country.\n\nHi mortgage payment or monthly rent are too high.\n\nFood prices are not coming down.\n\nSalaries are not keeping up with inflation.\n\nThe Canadian dollar keeps tanking.\n\nAs the leader of the country, he’s doing nothing to stop increasing violent crime.\n\nIncreasing amount of drugs in cities and suburbs.\n\nFinally, he’s pledging billions of dollars to Ukraine, when that money is needed at home.\n\nJustin is too emotional to deal with Trump.\n\nTrump complains about the trading balance between the two nations, $100 billion in favor of Canada.\n\nThe request is simple, import more American products, or export less products to America. But the imbalance has to stop.\n\nSame with Mexico, trading balance with Mexico is almost $200 billion in favor of Mexico. The imbalance has to stop. \n\nThe US economy is bleeding by trading with allies and partners, it’s fighting for its financial wellbeing. It is not some bs from the orange man, it is real.\n\nOf course Canada, Mexico, Europe and others want business as usual… and why wouldn’t they? ?

It just shows how some people in our country truly are. So this is what make America great again means huh? We were the land of the free & opportunity! That S#$! Is done now. Thank Trump & your cronies!! We are now the enemy to the whole WORLD!! THIS IS WHO YALL VOTED FOR!!?? REALLY!!? SMH??

Canada has easy fix, do what Trump ask and stop fentanyl and illegal aliens=no more tariffs. Mexico a little more complex, in addition to the above issues add in factories being built and in mexican for sub human labor costs and making top profits in America.

I am a canadian and half my family live in the US... we are not enemies but I am not alone in fearing what America is becoming and the direction it is taking in trade , geo politics and governing philosophy. \nthe people behind project 2025 are not rational old conservatives harking back to a by gone era, they are christian fundementalists enacting a plan to bring about the transformation of the US into a full blown christian theocracy. A christian version of the taliban. \nThe vast majority of Americans don't want this and I believe share my fears on the direction of the country... it'll be up to the corporate oligachs to decide how this gets settled and that should scare the crap out of everyone... because they just want chaos to make money, to profit and to self aggrandise and stride on the stage as power merchants ... they could not care less about the American people.\na time is coming that fits the orginal purpose of the second amendment ... let's just hope people are smart enough to know who to point them at...

I'm just going to clarify something remember when they said Trump had allies with Russia now you see what the Democrats were talking about. Trump always blames democrats for his faults. Trump had you guys convinced not to vote for Democrat. Now are allies don't even want to deal with the US anymore which is understandable because of what the whole nation seen with their own eyes and heard with their own ears. Trump says he wants to make America Great American dream not for Americans maybe for you Republicans I guarantee a lot of Republicans don't agree with him but they all are scared to say anything to Trump and his team which that is disturbing within itself. Trump needs to be impeached he's causing to much chaos and still getting away with people's lives in real life situations this is not a joke. As for JD Vance his vice president he was laughing and asking Zelenskyy why was he not wear a suit what about Elon musk he wasn't wearing a suit? And when you ask another person to come from another country to the White House they are dressed in their traditional clothing to be mocked by these men is despicable. Real people lost their jobs, real people are dying that need aid,for them to shut down the military aid was a slap in the face,mind you they sit back and laugh about it.. Russia is the last person Trump should be nice Putin is not on the US side it's obvious but Trump laughs with him, communicate better with Putin which is disturbing as well. Having the power and money makes people so entwined into their own world,Trump should think about Americans first and not act like a disrespectful person he ruined his chance not Zelenskyy. Now We the people are looking at our President and vice President like the are unhinged, disrespectful, uncompassionate, and down right rude. Kamala,Tim warned everyone Barak, Michelle, Biden did also y'all should have listened. I voted for Kamala and Tim. If Trump wants peace he needs to stop with all the madness and focus fixing the US.

Sounds like someone who is also not thankful what we do for your country and people honestly fuck canada i voted for trump and i will spend more of my hard earned money if prices increase idgaf make america great again .

Don't buy Canadian Bacon, Maple Syrup and other Canadian goods. Canada is NOT the closest ally of the US and has long in fact been like the Karen nation of North America who is massively passive aggressive to the US, and outright hatred for the US is rampant among many Canadians. 25 percent 155 billion which is dwarfed by the trade imbalance of the many billions more of Canadian goods that go to the US, mostly it is American Alcohol that goes to Canada, to fuel the drunks of Canadian society, so Homeless alcoholics in Canada might truly suffer. How is more sobriety a bad thing Trudeau? This might be fantastic for people who drink alcohol to make a break with the booze they have been needing. \n\nThe rest of us, who don't buy Canadian goods nor own or invest in American alcohol won't feel anything. In fact we pay more for mailing stuff to Canada from the Canadian postal service. \n\nWe learned not to mail stuff to Canada. We are ok now living with that limitation.
