Prime Minister Trudeau has spoken calmly the Truth of the situation, that Trump has imposed upon Canada and the USA.\nTrump does not care how much American people will Suffer, and has utter contempt for Canadians.\nThese Tariffs are Stupid and Pointless, that will do no good for Canada or the USA, and will hurt the USA the Most.

Brave and dignified Americans, please act now. Don't let a single stupid person and his circle of shameless minions destroy your country, its values, and principles that have been upheld for decades. Please don't abandon your allies.

Sorry Canada that the Americans people are morons to stupidly vote for a felon and a dictator Trump now the whole world has to suffer! ?

The American people don’t want this either. I couldn’t tell you for the life of me why we’re even doing this. It’s fucking stupid. Trump’s personal vendetta’s at it again. Hurting us all for no fucking reason.

We don't necessary like you Justin, I feel like you're a bit out there on the social programs yet this is a defining moment in history. I 100% AGREE with YOU AND STAND WITH CANADA HERE. Trump is as stupid and idiotic as can be. He is defying what it is to be American

The world needs to speak up more! The American people don't want it either. We're helpless in the US to do anything with this stupidity. It's all Trump & project 2025.

Real Americans are on the side of Canada , it's a shame how one sad excuse of a so called man has caused so much damage in such a short time and the stupid people thinks he is doing great work , anyway , Canada most of America is behind you and as an American I will do my best to buy what I can that's made in Canada

I'm an American and I don't want this, I didn't vote for this, I'm upset by this, and I'm by no means the only American that thinks trade war with Canada is stupid, half the countries number one imports came from Canada, tariffs on a trade partner and Ally is absurd!

How can you take a president who called his predecessor STUPID on national television to be sane and not a lunatic? Smh??? Americans have regret voting for this lunatic millionaire.

the united states allows the flow of drugs into our nation and then we blame other nations for the problem we create and prop up. the cia has a long history of drug running. the war on drugs is literally a way to aide and abet cartels? why is it the cartels have us military hardware? americans love using drugs, thats just the simple truth. and now trump is doing everything in his power to allow the large corporations to increase their prices for their goods with these tariffs. its why his first term added 8 trillion to the debt and he is scheduled to add even more this time in 4 years. trump caused the inflation to help the super wealthy and corporations. and now he is doing it again. and americans are too stupid to realize it.

As an American, I am very sorry for this to Canada and Mexico. I didn't vote for this clown, I didn't vote for stupidity. This is really, really unnecessary and it's all about the f'ing rich. Our so called President is an idiot bafoon.

As an American, I would rather see the US become a 4th territory of Canada, instead of watching our country be destroyed daily by the amateur fascist that a feeble and feckless Attorney General Merrick Garland allowed to escape justice, and to become the 47th president with the help of a psychotic South African billionaire, and 49% percent of our population who is too fucking stupid to NOT worship at the dangly scrotum of trump and putin.

Mr. Trudeau, don't waste your time to talk to Trump. Trump is that stupid thug who never makes sophisticated thoughts. Trump is playing some PC game, and people are of no worth for him. Neither american, nor any others. Trump is pathetic liar, who will keep doing stupid things. Presedency is just a game for that thug to have some fun in his otherwise senseless life.

No Teleprompter, No name calling, just calm logic. Trump, in his abject stupidity, does not realize he is hurting Americans as much as Canadian, nor does he care. I would only challenge Trudeau on calling Trump 'smart' - only Trump thinks he is smart. He is a semi-literate moron.

its not we American its Don The Con the Elected FELON and is baffoons he has surrounding him thats doing this and for his stupid selfishness we as Americans apologize

How is this gonna hurt Americans is he stupid really, he more scared hurting then we are and also maybe they need to fix the bs of if you have a dui in usa and did your time , they can recharge yoi with it there and thats stupid , Canada get your crap right

Stupid US government.\nStupid voters.\nTo think that tariffs are good for the American economy.\nGood for American workers and consumers...

As a Canadian, I can assure you CNN and all Americans, Canada will not back down. Remember this pain your country will feel is not what Canadians want, but our response to your President’s stupidity and apparent new support for our mutual enemy Russia. Get you country back. You are sliding into fascism and authoritarianism. We hope you right your ship.

You are an excellent neighbor Canadian. This trade war is thoughtless and stupid. As usual trump is spreading lies to justify his acts, but this will hurt the American people as much as it hurts the Canadian people. The Wall Street Journal got it right. Trumps idea is wrong.

As an American, I apologize for our President's stupidity. We didn't want this.

And listen to how eloquently and unemotionally PM Trudeau speaks. He makes sense, he is intelligent, he speaks the truth - no lies, no stupid exaggerations - wow, as an American I miss that.

As an American with common sense, I applaud Canada taking a stand against obvious tyranny and straight up stupidity.

I applaud you PM , Canada is so lucky to have you as their PM. And us here in America, are suffering with this trying hard to be smart guy, but really dumb and stupid and un-American.

Americans will suffer because of Trump's ego and stupidity

Trump wants a weak America to be easy taken by Russia for his Russian friend! Many Americans are stupid they won't know whats going on! A lack of education in America! True!

Congratulations Donald, you’ve managed to destroy another alliance and relationship. Trying to unwind 80 years of economic and security interdependence in the matter of days is not only stupid but dangerous to world order and American national security (defense and Economic). No complaining from those who voted for him. He’s doing exactly what he advertised.

I, an American citizen, stand with Canada. I'm sorry so many Americans think Trump was going to be such a great thing. He's not. He is VERY stupid and only cares how he looks on TV. IMPEACH Trump

???Kudos and well done Great Justin Trudeau✊ for Educating the dum dummer so called American Garbage President. Donald Trump is too Gramps and Stupid in the Brain ? to be a Leader of any Nation or President of any Nation. Is a Shame that those Americans that fall for all his lies and Propaganda to get him elected are bunch of BOZOS, because they are the one to face the dyer consequences.

Trump is a traitor to America. Americans are stupid and elected a useless clown to The White House and now they have to live with the consequences!! Trump is a liar!! Nothing coming out of his mouth is the truth but all bullshit lies!!

American here, I support Canada, America elected a stupid arrogant fool.

Believe me, anyone who is already in Canada doesn't want to go south. Canada is having problems with people coming north from the US. That's really why we beefed up our border. We tell Americans the opposite because the one who are on threads like this one, are too stupid to tell the difference lol.

Americans are …idio ts letting this happen \nBizar the stupidity and naive thinking

16,000 illegal immigrants from Canada. VS millions from the southern border. Compare that to the 118,000 illegal immigrants from the US into Canada. The stupidity of Americans is really mind blowing.

They believe nobody is going to notice them? People believe that Americans are stupid and can’t do whatever.

We’re seeing it because lefty news organizations think it’s ok to give foreigners Americans hard earned money and believe that only Americans should go to jail for breaking our law. Don’t play stupid CNN you’re part of the problem!!!

Okay, okay......when Americans are deported home here, \nwhich I am sure it happens, \nwe are not raising American flags in THEIR streets and burning theirs', \nwe are also not raising an effigy of their president and burning it,......on our own land!!.\n\nJust imagine that, if you will.....\n We all know it would look STUPID!

your logic is laughable. It's the extra and extra hardworking, low paid, abused people like Mexicans, other south Americans, east Indians, Africans, Arabs and many other people from around the world who are the powerhouse and the ones who are keeping your stupid country USA?? running. You wytey colonizers should never ever take pride in calling yourself Americans ! Period. My respect goes to the indigenous peoples of America who has ensured so much !!

What I don’t get is America isn’t against immigrants coming to America (the legal way) but people want to protest coming here illegally and are upset people are getting deported because they didn’t come the legal way. I work with a ton of guys that came to America the legal way and are all for deporting the illegals back to where they came from. The legal immigrants work hard and pay taxes and illegals don’t pay taxes they get benefits and haven’t paid their dues like the legal immigrants had to do to get in. Taking care of illegals takes away from Americans getting the help they need and we have to pay taxes. They protest and wave the Mexico flag holding signs saying “Immigrants built America” and $hit on the things America has done for them. If they built America and are so proud to be from Mexico then why don’t you build Mexico up like you say you did in America. If it’s so great why are you coming to America illegally and running from your country. Do you think protesting and blocking streets and highways is going to get you anywhere with Trump and do you think your going to win the American people over by pissing them off doing stupid things like blocking highways and Streets. You don’t win people over by pissing them off and you don’t win Americans over Shitting on America waving your flag when this country has done more for you then your own country. If you came here illegally and broke the law then you should’ve thought about that before doing it and being put on the ICE list.Go back and by all means come back when your legally allowed and while you wait for that to happen and the papers to go through build up your own Country!

I don’t believe your American fascist propaganda for one second. And the comments of Americans here shows just how gullible, intellectually challenged and hateful most Americans are. Stupid isn’t even a strong enough word to describe the intelligence of most Americans.??

They will over run Americans the same way...they think Americans are stupid.

Trump is such an asshole. I is impossible to understand how he could win the presidential campaign. Are the american people really that stupid ?

deporting illegal immigrants but the American people can't identify a male from a female. stop stupidity if you are a male, you can't be a woman so come on.

I wonder if this anchor ever gets tired of looking stupid, preaching wokeness to the American people who voted to end wokeness. Makes sense ?

Attention all illegals trying to get into the US. \nGOOD NEWS = The Trump Government is now offering you free plane rides home to visit your families. All paid for by American tax payers. \nThen you can come back again and again, with more free rides home each time you get caught . \nNow you have even MORE of an incentive to come to America illegally. \nYes, American Trump supporters are that stupid!!!

What do we import from Columbia?\nThe retaliation is stupid because all that does is punish Americans with higher prices on the imported goods.

I work in a produce department. Get ready for grocery prices to go up because a crybaby is our president. Fear led stupidity to vote against their own interests. Americans are so very stupid in general.

The fact that u have people on here thinking that trump won just goes to show the stupidity. The reason why Colombia refused the planes was because they were on military planes never in history America has ever used military planes to deport people they put them on regular planes. And who u think is going to pay for the tariffs American consumers people and meanwhile Colombia put a 50% tariffs on America. U have some Americans so deep in the cult that they can’t see that this crap is going to make it bad for the economy right now u have eggs at $9 and this clown have only been in office for a week.
