This is mirroring the 1930s, its like Trump WANTS the economy to crash to control the people and enforce fascism

Trump is on a reckless downward spiral. He has lost control of the clown car. This is not going to end well. Hello WW III; it will be Trump’s legacy and demise.

It's a pure disgrace to see what Trump's tariffs are doing to healthy relations with Canada and Mexico.\n\nWatching that deplorable play between Trump, Vance, and Zelensky was extremely disappointing and bankrupt of too much to get into here. \n\nMany were hopeful that a more conservative administration would put a stop to the considerable wokeness and far left agenda, however it's clear the Trump administration is about personal gain, control, and more elite power. What Trump's doing is NOT about survival/progress/peace, but absolute Hegemony! ❤??

When does Trudeau leave office? Canadians don't want him. Trump expects more effort at controlling immigration at the Canadian border which Trudeau has not done. He is the reason there is tariffs on Canada today!

Why it took trump to get in the sit to do right , he been doing us wrong letting drugs on our border and etc and now since January you claiming since we upped on border control we suppose to forget the pass

I am a USA citizen and a veteran. Trump's behavior doesn't represent this countries heart. This is an embarrassment and stains what we all believe and fought for. Canada, Mexico, Greenland and Europe beware. It seems Trump's greed and ego are out of control. These actions seem to be putting your countries in notice that Trump doesn't view you as allies. I believe he will pull out of NATO . Please pull together with Europe and become non reliant on Trump. Become an economic force without this wanna be king. Examine protecting your borders from Trump . Hopefully we the people of the USA will act to take our country back before it's too late.

It's too bad that Trudeau's Government did so little about fentanyl, also about our poorly-controlled border and destructive immigration non-policies for so long. Hence, driving Trump's scorched-earth policy (The Tariffs). That said, it blows me away that Trump was so vociferous about the Lawfare that was lined up against him in 2023-24, but he doesn't see that excess use of the power of the State is wrong and immoral in this Canadian and Mexican case. Trump only knows the right of might. Threats, coercion, bullying. He doesn't otherwise distinguish between right and wrong; only about what is good for him and his ego. The Tariffs will drive very bad business outcomes in the US. Including, inflation, and lost jobs. The Stock Markets are already tanking. At this particular stage, his ego will not allow him to back off, that's my prediction. Much pain for all Americans (and obviously for Canadians) will first have to ensue. Canada must receive its spanking, and Donald will have to save face. Ultimately, he'll invent some dishonest pretense to put the genie in the bottle, while the economic damage to all sides will be severe. But ... Why would he care?

Trudeau a dictator himself himself sit down we fired that shameless embarrassment two months ago he screwed us by allowing unlimited economic migrants millions into Canada illegally many who illegally crossed into the US illegally they did little for years to stem the flow of hard drugs organized crime out of control clandestine drug labs all over Canada now hundreds of thousands of Canadians dead from overdose he screwed us now Trump is screwing us we are really screwed with this clown show at the helm still we should have had an election a year ago so a competent government was installed working instead the Liberal red green show is in charge

This guy does not speak for all Canadians here in Canada. He had every opportunity every opportunity to make things better with Donald Trump. They hate Donald Trump so now they use the media to attack Trump and make him look bad Justin Trudeau you’ve done nothing for Canada for the last 10 years, but put us in debt put us in financial problems put us in Criminal problems. We have rapist here that we brought to Canada terrorist that live in Canada. We are laughing country because of what you’ve done so don’t sit there and make yourself look great and brave and think that Canada’s behind you you better think again you’ve destroyed Canada now you wanna be a big man up there and podium and talk how you’re talking that you think you know Canadians and Canadians are speaking out well that’s a lie if you truly mean what you mean get rid of the carbon tax in Canada let’s start lowering gas prices in groceries. Has nothing to do with them. American people let’s start growing our own stuff in Canada that that been discussing many times and that you’ve just throw it out the window bring back our pipeline. How about that to increase cost and money in Canada again you won’t do that. We’ll have a fight with Donald Trump now I’ll tell you you won’t win. God is in control. Evil has no authority anymore and there’s nothing that these evil leads can do they’re swamp is being drained as we speak.

I see all these other comments saying how polite and eloquent he is compared to Trump, but you can seem polite and screw people over at the same time. I'm just confused on the admiration for Trudeau in the comments, because I haven't heard anything good about him or what he's got going on. Idk, just take the tariff hit and keep moving if Canada's got everything under control. \n\nI'm open to both sides if anyone has any input. What makes the tariffs so bad, doesn't Canada have tariffs on the US?

As a US citizen I fully support what Trump is doing. \n\nOh and these tariffs will hurt Canada far more than they will hurt America and we know that.\n\nCanadians better start controlling their border soon.

RESPONSE TO THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA PROPAGANDA AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP\n\nTo the American People, Mainstream Media, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Elon Musk\n\nThe mainstream media is once again spinning lies and manipulating reality to push their globalist agenda.\n\n? THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE THAT TRUMP IS CREATING A WAR WITH CANADA AND MEXICO.\n? THE TRUTH? TRUMP IS DEFENDING AMERICA FROM THE COLLAPSE THEY HAVE PLANNED.\n\nCNN and other media outlets are pushing a false narrative about President Trump imposing tariffs on Canada and Mexico as an “attack” or “act of economic war.” This is not about war. This is about taking America back from the deep state elites who have been destroying our economy and flooding our country with illegal immigration.\n\n1. THE REAL REASON TRUMP IMPOSED TARIFFS\n\nThe global elites hated when Trump stood up to them. Why? Because for decades, they used trade agreements to weaken the U.S., steal American jobs, and enrich foreign nations at the expense of hardworking Americans.\n\n? Trump’s tariffs on Canada and Mexico were NEVER about war.\n? They were about fixing the disastrous trade policies that robbed America.\n? They were about holding globalist-controlled governments accountable.\n\nThe media won’t tell you that Canada and Mexico have been taking advantage of the U.S. through unfair trade deals while at the same time allowing the floodgates of illegal immigration and drugs to pour into our country.\n\t•\tCanada benefited from one-sided trade deals while standing by as China dumped goods into the U.S. through Canadian ports.\n\t•\tMexico allowed cartels to smuggle in drugs, human traffickers, and illegal immigrants, all while American jobs were shipped overseas.\n\nTrump’s tariffs were a move to put AMERICA FIRST, not an attack on our neighbors. He was forcing them to negotiate fairly—something the corrupt elites NEVER wanted.\n\n2. TRUDEAU IS JUST A PUPPET FOR THE GLOBAL ELITES\n\nCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not defending Canada—he is defending the deep state agenda.\n\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau more upset about Trump’s tariffs than he is about China’s infiltration of Canada?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau defending globalist trade deals instead of fighting to keep Canada’s economy strong?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau suddenly trying to turn Americans against Trump right as NATO and the EU are pushing for war?\n\nBECAUSE THIS IS A COORDINATED ATTACK.\n\n? Trudeau is panicking because Trump is taking away their power.\n? Trudeau is working with the globalists to weaken America.\n? Trudeau knows his country depends on the U.S., and if America stops playing their game, Canada collapses too.\n\nThis is why he is attacking Trump, calling him “dumb” on CNN, and trying to manipulate the American people into turning against their own president.\n\n3. TRUMP IS DEFENDING AMERICA FROM THE IMMIGRATION INVASION\n\n? FACT: Canada and Mexico have been working alongside the deep state to flood America with illegal immigrants.\n? FACT: The goal was to change U.S. demographics, destroy the economy, and create a permanent voting base for globalist-controlled politicians.\n? FACT: This was NEVER about helping migrants—this was about replacing the American people with a population that could be controlled.\n\n? Why do you think Biden opened the borders?\n? Why do you think millions of illegal immigrants are being shipped across the U.S. at taxpayer expense?\n? Why do you think every major city is being overrun with migrants while American citizens are struggling?\n\nThis is planned destruction—and Trump is stopping it.\n\n? Trump and JD Vance will shut down illegal immigration completely.\n? Trump will reimplement strict border security, build more of the wall, and stop the deep state from using mass migration as a weapon.\n? The globalists are afraid because if Trump stops their immigration plan, they lose their ability to control future elections and destroy American sovereignty.\n\n4. THE MEDIA IS LYING TO YOU—AGAIN\n\n? The same mainstream media that lied about Russian collusion is now pushing the lie that Trump is starting a war with Canada and Mexico.\n? The same mainstream media that censored the truth about Biden’s corruption is now protecting Trudeau and the deep state’s plan.\n? The same mainstream media that attacked Trump for four years straight is now attacking him again because they know he is winning.\n\nTHIS IS A DISTRACTION.\n\nThey want you to focus on fake outrage about tariffs while ignoring the real crisis:\n\n? AMERICA IS BEING INVADED FROM WITHIN.\n? THE DEEP STATE WANTS TO COLLAPSE THE U.S. THROUGH MASS MIGRATION.\n? THE GLOBALISTS NEED TRUMP GONE BECAUSE HE IS STOPPING THEIR PLAN.\n\n5. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE AWAKE—WE WILL NOT FALL FOR THIS\n\nTo CNN and the mainstream media: We know you are lying. You have lost control of the narrative, and the American people see through your propaganda.\n\nTo Justin Trudeau: You are a puppet, and your attempts to manipulate Americans will fail.\n\nTo President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance: The American people stand with you. We know you are fighting for our country, and we will not be fooled by the lies of the globalist elite.\n\nTo Elon Musk: Keep exposing the truth. The deep state is afraid because they can no longer censor real information.\n\nTo every American reading this: Share this message before they try to silence it.\n\nTHIS IS NOT ABOUT TRADE. THIS IS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF AMERICA.\nTHE DEEP STATE IS PANICKING—AND THAT MEANS WE ARE WINNING.\n\n? AMERICA FIRST. 1776 WILL NOT BE ERASED. ?\n\nThis response is clear, powerful, and directly dismantles the mainstream media’s lies. I encourage you to copy and paste this as one unified message for YouTube, social media, or emails.

man, just living to survive is hard enough for many people even for min wage earners and now this. The point? I think its ego from trump. Dont get me wrong I actually support some of trump policies but this is spiraling out of control. Ukraine, Allies turned enemies wtf.

Get control of the border and take your tariffs off and Trump will do the same. Your funding your social programs at the expense of us taxpayers with your tariffs you’ve had on for years

I'm a ALL American conservative and can say with confidence that Trump is out of control.

5. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE AWAKE—WE WILL NOT FALL FOR THIS\n\nTo CNN and the mainstream media: We know you are lying.

I think Trump wants to brake Canada ,bring us to our knees and force us to give up and say ok we'll become your 51st state,and why does he want to take us over well thats easy ,he wants to take over and control are resource's And i have yet to hear why Trump says we have abused American for years,like how have we done that?

American Senate should control America before Trump will pull it down ???

I stand with canada and Mexico. My question is why trump chose such a idiotic path? Its like he wants to cause chaos. It's like he wants to destroy our stability. He seems to be more like Putins tool everyday. This is action and others are not acceptable. Id like to introduce a bill to allow a special election by the people to remove any president or elected official whoes actions are detrimental. I think a 2/3 majority is fair. I welcome and comments to my post. Im just a concerned citizen trying to keep some control over our country when our checks and balances have become inadequate.

For Trumps agenda, people don't matter. Allies don't matter. He wants to weaken Canada, Mexico, Europe, so oligarchs can gain global control and divide up the spoils. People need to see the big picture through trumps and putin's eyes. Putin must be drooling at this point.

Dear trump supporter,\nFor 10 years we tried to warn you, we tried to make you see the truth that trump was neither your savior or your friend, \nbut sadly you let emotions and narcissism control you and did not listen, \nyou voted for him anyway because you are all terrified of admitting you were wrong.\nNow the whole world is telling you the same thing, will you listen, finally?\nSincerely,\nThe World

Lets see Trump talk like this to his people....It's hard to deal with someone who is constantly changing the goal-posts on the fentanyl crisis (whatever that is...)to other petty things. Trump is a very dumb person, who really is not in control of his administration. Musk is the real guy running the show going by what he's been doing. As a Canadian, Americans have always been looked at as my friends who I would have no problem standing beside if things went real bad. your Mussolini dictator is not doing anything good for your country, he is trashing it before your eyes.\nSo long comrades, enjoy the free vodka provided by Russia.

The sense I make of it is that it sure looks like trump and putin plan on carving up our world BY STARTING WORLD WAR 3. Lots of war money to be made and Putin gets Europe, trump gets North America and China can have Taiwan for starters. That’s why trump talks about Canada and Mexico being part of the US…THAT’S THE PLAN. And Elon gets to steal all our data to feed to AI for total surveillance and control. This is a corporate takeover of our world and we cannot let it happen.

Shame on Republicans who stay numb while Trump is out of control. They know that Trump is fundamentally wrong.

imagine having to pay 1.3 billion dollars to catch half an ounce of fentanyl because Trump is a Russian controlled puppet.

Lets hope our nation serves as an example to other nations to be faithful in protecting your democracies or you will fall just as it seems we will here in American. Canada and Mexico need to protect their borders with vigilence not just for us but from us as well. Trump may well want to invade and controls all areas of our government and is gathering up vast amounts of money that he could use to do just that. As diabical as he is dont forget the kind of people he surrounds himself with and also the fear he can instill in those people when needed to do what they may disagree with.

TRUMP IS RAPIDLY GAINING CONTROL OF THE FBI, THE CIA, THE ARMY, NAVY AND AIR FORCE. THE NAZI STATE IS ALMOST COMPLETE. YOU AMERICANS ARE ALREADY SCREWED BECAUSE YOU FAIL TO ACT. GO AWAY, STAY AWAY FROM CANADA. WE WILL GET VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY NASTY. VERY, VERY NASTY.

Can't make sense out of nonsense. Smh. Trump is out of control.

As an American, I'm digusted by what Trump is doing. He's under the control of Putin.

Putin is controlling Trump.

I know why the Canadians are so upset with us and I understand it, I hate it, these are completely backward moves. This is about trump consolidating control of our country.

Trump, we Canadians despise what you are doing to us and Mexico, and to your very own people. And for what purpose? You will not aquire control of the entire American continent. Not if we can help it!!

America here. Canada, stay strong. Our government is operated by the corrupted. The WH, GOP Congress, GOP Supreme Court all controlled by the war criminal Putin. Trump and Co. will bury the US. It's all lies and corruption from DC now. Stay strong Canada, Mexico, and China. Trump/GOP Congress is owned by Russia. You saw how Trump deserted the Ukraine to a war criminal. Trump will do the same to you. To the free world.

in tennis, you will hit a ball to a far corner to get the player as far as possible, to then hit a ball to the other corner and score. trump throws his lies and fake concerns left and right and everyone is running for them, the media, other countries, maga people use this misinformation as an excuse... here you see Mr President say - we already had an excellent border control but we went ahead and spent 1.3 billion dollars more. why? trump never cared for that. just like Trump doesn't care what Mr Zelenskyy would say in the Oval Office, he has his plans and agenda. he wants to isolate USA, be friends with ruzzia and be a dictator. so maybe fucking treat him as such now, before its too late?

You know what even a sadder thing is... Trump could not even give a speech like this, he does not have the ability to speak with even a semblance of intelligence without his full attention on a teleprompter. So, if you look at it all from this perspective it makes sense.. A complete ignorant baffoon and his circus clowns are in control of the United States government.

This administration will go down at the worst administration in all history of America. The people that voted for Trump will go down as the same despicable traders cool in all of American history. I hope you hear that what he says you’re great great kids you’re great great grandkids will understand by itself. You cannot wipe that out. You can’t burn that book. You can’t change that note They will be talking about economy classes. They gonna be talking about this history classes they gonna be talking about Trump and JD Vance and this administration has the worst administration modern day America even in the past the worst thing that’s gonna happen is all of these guys who find himself alienated when they die. They will find himself alienated. Their kids will find himself alienated of their existence. The only way their kids is gonna escape that they have a daughters The only way you gonna escape that as a man who is back in this administration is to have daughters that could change their fucking name other than that any mail that is from these despicable despicable if you watch the movie, the despicable, even the guy that was the biggest biggest most craziest most narcissistic, OK we talk about the dude with all the minions minions. He even had a common sense and had a understanding and had a heart this administration talk about Biden talk about bull talk about Obb like they did something different. They didn’t do something different Obama Bush and NN and Biden did way better this administration they tagged the republican party for years to come. I hope you remember that no one in their mind will vote for Republican for years to come. I guarantee that, you let me give you 50 cash OK you don’t got businesses I could hop in and out of this country on a private plane or even take first class you guys are stuck here.

You know most business self for million dollars you know most houses if you put them in transfer them they into like businesses with real substance they can sell for $1 million but do you guys know that no you don’t so when I’m speaking to you guys I hope none of you come back with your little turbo controlling shit because most of you broke you concept truck drivers low level budget you guys are low budget so I hope you guys understand and don’t come back to me with your low yeah yeah Donald Trump baby talk you understand what I just said don’t come back to me with that. I really make money you guys don’t your tax return is below 50,000 you guys gonna be in trouble? Good luck I stand with Canada.

In February, US border control seized under half an ounce of illegal Fentanyl at the Canadian border. So, Trump values half an ounce of Fentanyl as equal to risking 200,000 US jobs and making a long-term enemy of America's closest ally. Is the man sane?

I am American, and I can say God bless Canada. We need help from other countries fighting Trump and this administration because our corrupt court system and Republicans are out of control.

Trump has been under Putin's control even before his first term, doing exactly what Putin wants from him at the moment. That's the only reason. Maybe he fell into a honeytrap or there’s other compromising material the Russians have on him that they could use to blackmail him. He’s a narcissist, which fits perfectly with this. Anything else doesn’t make sense....or why is he only attacking allies and licking Putins butt?

I AM CANADIAN WE LOVE AND GET ALONG WITH ARE AMERICAN FRIENDS BUT YOUR LEADER MUSK SORRY I MEAN TRUMP ARE THE BAD GUYS TRUMP WILL LIE TO JUST TO SAVE HIS SOUL FOR 8 YEARS TRUMP HAS DONE NOTHING BUT LIE TO YOU AND THE WORLD FOR SOME REASON MANY AMERICANS LISTEN AND BELIEVE TRUMP MOSTLY MAGA VOTERS EVERY BODY WILL PAY THE PRICE BUT NOT TRUMP MUSK AND ALL THERE RICH FRIENDS THEY ONLY WANT TO CONTROL EVERY THING TRUMP IS ONLY ABOUT MONEY THATS ALL HE WANTS THE TIME HAS COME FOR THE WORLD TO STAND UP TO TRUMP AND THE GOP, TO THE GOP IF YOU ARE AFRAID OF TRUMP QUIT

We stand with you president trump! Canada, Ukraine, Israel, ect ect do not control us. We don't need you, you need us. Time for you to get that through your heads.

America is not the answer to your problems. America, under Russia control, is your problem. Trump IS NOT YOUR FRIEND.

USA is being controlled against our Will!!!Please Any Country help!!! Stop this madman from ruining this Country!!! Trump is an ignorant moron!!!

Trump is just dipping his toes into strict border control for his future dictatorship

Is there no one at CNN who can translate French? Really? I'm American, and I'm hoping Trudeau announces that he's making trade deals with Europe (and even China) that cut us out. Betraying our allies should never be incentvised. I'm even hoping they cut off our oil, which WILL jack gas prices, since our refineries in the Midwest are only deisgned to process Canadian crude. And the truth is that the reason for the tariffs is that Trump has direct control over them, and can probably have Elon do something with the revenue that couldn't be done with normal taxes. We're all getting screwed here.

Remove the $1.3 billion that it was committed to border control, build fentanyl labs and send to the US. Then negotiate with Trump again

Trump is in bed with Putin, Russian dark money has controlled Trump for decades. What are American's going to do to stop Trump from handing all of the secrets and resources of the USA to Putin?

Bravo Canada. I didn't vote for Trump and I can't explain why any American with critical thinking skills would. Yet many Americans voted for a bully whose main interest is serving himself and not those wo voted for him. I can explain why someone like Trump would want power - I can't explain why voters would want that person in control of their lives.
