As An American citizen I stand for righteous leadership and I stand with Canada, European allies and Mexico. Do what you have to do to protect your country your economy and your citizens. TRUMPSKI and his lap dog JD Vancekoff are ruining the United States of America!! They're not leaders, they're Russian assets, strongmen wannabe's and a scourge in the historical record of our nation. And all of the misled, under educated and misinformed folks who follow this man and his cult of personality have been lead astray by the propagandist on FOX News and right wing social channels and will pay for this just like the rest of us. Trump and his cronies are ONLY about enriching THEMSELVES and their friends and families. Not the working man and woman. Just the autocrats and oligarchs.

You don’t have to justify your actions, Justin. We understand what you’re up against. Do what you need to do, and maybe, eventually, we will do what we need to do.

I hold no grudge Canada. Do what you must - from a US citizen in New Jersey.\nJust an FYI: my husband and I have vacationed in Canada many times. Just last year we did a 7 day cruise in Canada. Your country is beautiful and so are your citizens . In all these years and trips we have never met a single questionable Canadian. Your friendly, kind, fun, interesting and just “ good people” you’d like to share a drink with

You and your country are admirable! I am an American and I completely oppose what the Trump administration is doing with these tariffs. I will be buying Canadian and Mexican whenever possible, and have changed my European vacation plans to spend my vacation dollars in Canada this spring and in Mexico this fall.\n\nI am impressed with the alternative trade agreements Canada is developing. Too many Americans are willfully ignorant and do not understand the negative effects that tariffs and trade wars have. They will learn soon enough!

I know we have to be addressed as the entire country but for those of us that didn't want this and voted for Harris we are so ashamedand angry. please Canadians forgive those of us that never wanted this to happen. But we understand what you need to do now.

Canada, do what you have to do, we understand. Half of America hates this loser and his administration. I am with Canada, always!

Sigh ? … American here, I didn’t vote for him. Canada stay strong, I support you standing up for yourself and support you standing up to a bully. Honestly I’m just baffled by everything that keeps happening. It’s only been a month and I wonder what the next 4 years will look like. I don’t know what to do. I voted, that was my bit of voice, but the majority apparently wanted this. They made excuses for him, over and over again, and now we all have to suffer the consequences. He always told us who he was, so I don’t want to hear excuses if you voted for him! I’m pissed off, as well as sad.\nUkraine, my prays go out to you. The way your president was treated in the White House was abominable. Please know not all Americans are delusional enough to think what The Trump Dump did was ok in any way. Now we all just have to survive this shit storm as best we can, and stand up where, and when we are able.

Thank you Mr. Trudeau. Wish we had politicians of your caliber. And do what you have to do to help our people see how bad Trump and his ilk are for the US, the rest of us will be ready to heal our friendship when we can get rid of him.

What a great speech. This is exactly what Canada has to do. You can't back down from bullies. You have to confront them.

You have to do what you have to do. We have an idiot in the WH.

From Italy: if people like Trump, Putin, Erdogan, Orban and Meloni have so much space and have reached the position that occupy the problem is not them but who voted for them. If people think that these characters with their wicked decisions bring prosperity and peace, the biggest work must be done on the people who choose them, not on those who have been chosen. Canadians, hold on tight, stay with your back straight, continue to be what you always were, do not bend as many rich Americans have done and prone to the delirium of omnipotence of Trump. We Italians know well what it means to have such people in the seats of power and also how important it is that not everyone bends.

Donald Trump claims to be a Christian but what he is doing to other countries and his own country by firing people from government jobs is totally against God God gives life he don't take it and he would never have sent people to the streets just because some politicians created a job for the people this is going to cause people to lose their homes vehicles and their livelihood it is totally evil. And then placing these tariffs on other countries is no less than say I want your country he wants Canada he wants Panama, he wants Ukraine's lithium. And he wants to take it all and he is wrong in that because he is affecting people's lives and God Almighty will not put up with Donald Trump giving into the spoiled brat Elon Musk and his dictatorship attitude. Both Elan and Trump have no heart for the poor or the hardship they have placed on these people but God Almighty has a heart for the people who have lost their jobs and their livelihood because of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. In the book of Isaiah God said to the people that were coming against Israel, you have pissed on a wall. And everybody knows that when you piss on a wall it's going to come back on you and that's exactly what's happened. They didn't do it to the people that lost their jobs they did it to God Almighty who loves all people and wants them to have their wages. Maybe Elon Musk knows everything about technology and space craft, but the man ain't got a lick a common sense he has exactly zero wisdom when making decisions. But his greatest lack as he has no heart for the people who are going to be disrupted by losing their jobs he doesn't feel a thing he has no heart he needs to read the Bible because that's where your heart gets developed and you know right from wrong. And you know what God approves of and what he doesn't, and I'm telling you right now God Almighty does not approve of what Donald Trump and Elon Musk are doing. I voted for him, and now I am ashamed that I voted for him because he never mentioned he was going to do all this horrible horror to the very American people that voted for him. Now I pray for God's divine intervention because what he's doing to the American people and to other countries is not right

US When Don Dump crew has sucked you dry, they will just leave you in an endless pile.of.s..t. If you don't come together and stand up consistently, also locally. Hope you free up your calendar before its too late. Join those who bravely already have started. Sometimes Too Late will be TOO LATE. It's time to be so Loud, economically boycott of big cooperate, trillionaire products, as protest, help those who will be shaken etc. \nWe stand with you here in Denmark, that is what we do when injustice happen. Only you can save yourselves in time!! ❤

This is total Anti US propoganda ! This man is about as sinister as they come, and in bed with billionaire led WEF ! He clearly displayed that in his lock step response to covid and how he treated his citizens ( like caged animals)! This leader is a socialist and has nothing to offer Americans but to leech our tax dollars & use our military defenses for protection without contributing their fare share to support it! We have been the sugar daddy to so many nations with only the consequence of our tax dollars not improving our nation, but every other that we are used by! I’m not a maga but, but this president is using leverage the US still has ( although we’ve suffered greatly under the Biden Admin ). President Trump is trying to balance our budget by smart and fair trade, that puts this country’s legal citizens first! Fair trade hasn’t existed for many years, and while there may be increases felt by these tarrifs, our hope is that long term we manufacture more excellent goods here & use more of our own natural resources! Those commenting about what we are doing to Ukraine need to get their heads out if the sand…the Ukrainian people don’t want Zelinski but cannot get rid of him! He has taken hundreds of billions of dollars from the US and has no plan for peace in his nation…Pres Trump says enough is enough, and he is trying to not only end the war, but recoup massive amounts of money we wrongly gave through a deal for natural resources. Sounds like a plan that’s good for everyone involved, and that’s how you make deals! We cannot give whst we do not have & with our debt , we cannot afford to keep printing money, devaluing the dollar, and giving it away at the expense of hard working N Americans!

If you make a person your President, who is not only a 34 times CONVICTED FELON, but is also a FRAUDSTER, who has filed for bankruptcy SIX TIMES, what did you think he was going to do to the economy of the USA?  \n\nDid you not see what he did to the rock solid economy he took over from President Obama in 2016?  It took President Biden 4 years to fix the US economy that Republicans and Trump DESTROYED by the end of 2020.  When President Biden left office the US economy was the ENVY  OF THE WORLD and now in just a few short weeks Trump and Republicans HAVE DUMPED THE US ECONOMY BACK IN YHE TRASH!!!

Hey Canada, your new commitment to stop the flow of phentinol, is it on point. What took you so long to do what should have been done a decade ago? You must have had nothing to gain. What has changed?

What you don't understand is that all what we import from Canada we have here in US, we don't need to get it from Canada, they will have lot of problems if they will not find customer for their resources, Europe is in Putin pocket . So Canadian socialism as is will perish, because it was only possible do to deals with USA. I wonder who will protect Canada when Russia and Korea will come to idea to invade you?

This American understands why you are doing what you're doing and in your shoes I would do the same. This administration does NOT reflect the will of the vast majority of Americans. You Canadians are blessed to have someone who is a voice of reason and hopefully someday we will as well.

Do what you have to do, Prime Minister Trudeau. It is what it is. We tried.

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.

Trudeau shouldnt talk, he is hated by his own ppl and TRUE AMERICANS STAND WITH THE USA if you dont, you are a traitor plain and simple.. not cater to simpletons like Trudeau who has done more to censor his ppl that protests always follow him. WE the MAJORITY who VOTED for Trump, OUR POTUS is doing what we the PEOPLE want. in the end we dont need Canada, they needs us. thats just a fact. when we sell our good in Canada, they tax us up the wazoooo, and we cant do the same? fk them ... thats not fair. USA is not the world POLICE and this highway robbery from other nations has to come to a stop as we have been giving consistantly for years and been getting the shaft from numbnuts like this fool. now we have a PRESIDENT with BALLZ....... and YES i served this country... 19k tank armored crewman and i served proudly...

Do what you have to do and see who is the boss

So sorry or POTUS is an IDIOT Trudeau! Do what you have to do! Tariff the SHIT out of Elon Musks stuff, too. Might I suggest 100%!!!

Until we fix the bully, do what you have to do to protect yourself. Smart folks know fentanyl traffic is less than .08% coming from your borders. HE is scared to bully the real threats and agitators like Russia, North Korea and somewhat China so he is picking on Canada to ‘appear’ tough to his ignorant base that is working so much due to low wages, that there have no time to read or watch anything other than his propaganda.

I stand with Canada ?? you have my support do what ever you need to do to America you should cut all power to the USA and do what needs to be done

I hope atleast some Canadians read my text. We have a madman in office.. A huge mistake on our part. Please do what you need to to do. It is money that seems to be the only think this monster understand. Im am other understand your position. I think Don old has gone crazy.

All those who are transporters and they still don’t see anything wrong with what’s happening I’m going to pray for you and your delusional state because this does not have anything to do Republican or democrat. This has to do with the rich middle class in the poor two you guys understand that he does not give a damn about you. He only wanted to vote. You’re going to understand when things start happening in your life in your world and you’re begging for help and you realize that this person sees you in need of help and they won’t help you Then you’re gonna realize he used you but until your world comes crumbling crashing down you’re not gonna understand so sit back enjoy this ride and watch your life. Crumble everything you work for will be gone. All your hopes and dreams will be gone after his presidency is over after this. You know how long it’s gonna take for us to come back from this hell we might even be rule by Russia everybody ready for that I don’t think so. They’ll be no democracy in this country no longer you will do what is told of you or you will suffer consequences they will be fatal so wake up get a grip on what is happening in reality right now you wanna look at him like he’s God he’s king. I don’t see him as a present. I see him as a fucking problem. He thinks he’s solving problems. He is creating chaos and more problems. When this is over we’re not even gonna be able to fix this shit it’s gonna take decades hell these people may not even wanna do business with us ever again we gonna be a third world country And everybody else around us gonna be thriving.?

Do what you got to do we have a dictator want to be in the White House

Of course it's CNN. Trudeau, you do not represent Canadians. You have destroyed Canada and only now because of Trump you are dealing with the horrid fentanyl problem that is killing our communities. You have not fixed our health care system nor our political system. YOU NEED TO JUST GO, STOP YOUR EGO DRIVEN LAST GASP AT LEADERSHIP. You prorogued our own government, basically shut down debate and decision making in Canada while you parade yourself around the global world. NOW YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT CANADA FIRST, when a short two months ago you were pushing Canada for the past 9 years as a post national state. You are posturing and have no credibility in Canada or globally. YOU DID NOT WORK WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU CAME UP WITH NO PLAN BASED ON WHAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE U.S. YOU JUST WANT TO PREEN AND SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA AND SKIRT AROUND RESPECTFUL NEGOTIATIONS WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP BECAUSE YOU ARE MANIPULATING TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. Just take that walk Trudeau and be gone, you have 3 more days and then we do not want to see you again.

Trump, you created this scenario. Why are we fighting with one of our closest allies? Everything that is happening with the current administration points to collaboration with Russia. WTF. Russia is NOT our friend. So one has to wonder why Trump is cozying up with them? What kind of kompromat do they have over him? How many within the administration are paid by Russia?

I don’t care what no one say. It has never been done like this in American history with no president and all our presidents. We have 40 iCarly 44 president I do not call this guy a president. I do not give him the 45th or will I give him 47 I will say 44 and 46. I will always skip this guy because he’s not a president. No president act like a brat no president act like a female without no president act like a female without blood no president act like a kid without a tater tot no like a kid without some type of pacifier in his mouth and for the fact that in the first time in all our lives when your grandparents died, your great grandparents died your mom probably just died and then this is what we have as an American president and American economy and an American ministration never in my whole entire life. I seen this in part of an American history. I took the class I could I could You is never gonna find anything like this in American history until now and that’s why I say I don’t give a damn what they say. He only went into the presidency to cover his behind. That was it. He went into, not giving a damn if he was the worst he always gonna claim he’s the best but numbers don’t lie, sir numbers don’t lie Your fans might say whatever they don’t lie right now your fans are the same people calling the constituents yelling at they constituent ready to fight constituents because numbers lie, sir numbers don’t lie and it’s proven. You are the worst ever in American history. It’s proven that it’s proven that no matter what so good luck with all that hypocritical talk you wanna talk but there’s no way in hell I will vote for JD Vance no way in hell this administration would ever like recoverfrom what they have done to the American people rather vote independent Democrat then vote Republican the only way I vote Republican is Chris Cristi running for Republican for the White House if it’s not Chris Cristi I don’t fuck with no more Republicans, Chris Cristi or nothing

Do what you have to do Trudeau. We don’t blame you in America. Trump is disgracing us all over the world running this country into the ground. The stock market is down. Prices are up joblessness is up and this is before the tariffs. Maybe when these red state people can’t afford food, they will wake up to what we knew Our entire lives, watching the news in New York growing up. Trump‘s grandfather led to Europe to avoid mandatory military service. Not a single member of his family in-laws or any generation has ever served in the military. He has screwed over every contractor and blue-collar worker that ever works for him while grouping young, teen girls at his beauty pageants. Simultaneously bankrupting several casinos Trump state Trump airline Trump Water Stealing all the money from his charity, so he is never allowed to run a charity again and somehow, these morons elected him to be president of our country. If we have to hurt a little bit to get this cancer removed from our country so be it. Make America great again by praying for Trump to choke on a big Mac.

President chump is an ignorant pig, respect to Canada! do what you gotta do, if americans didn't want this then that orange stain of a president wouldn't have gotten elected, but all the orange stain minons voted for him, by choice.

I find it so disturbing that I’m gonna say this if JD Vance little man JD Vance, the guy who called himself he was in the battlefield, but he wasn’t in no battle. He was just in the battlefield cleaning boots and you know making sure his gun work and you know cleaning his helmet, but he never went outside. He never went outside and what kills me. Is people who talk like they real veterans but they did no vet. They did no vet you ain’t no vet you talked about, the guy who is running with Kamala make it seem like he lied but she was in Afghanistan or I mean Iraq or whatever you call yourself you was in a compound. I know that for fact, JD Vance was in a compound awaiting instructions to see if you were able to go out there battle you didn’t go battle you watch the convoy go in and out. You are the same people you watch in mash mash the show when everybody go outside those same people sitting inside just cleaning boots and walking around that’s what he was doing, if this guy think that you guys could do whatever is dumb let everybody know mega is dumb. I don’t care what mega wanna say you put them in front of a scoreboard and you give them testes they going to show you their dumb most mega is dumb. They’re uneducated. That’s a fact There’s no going around it uneducated OK you can see from the terrorist that’s being put in. They’re uneducated because I don’t know who that’s why when people telling you they want to bring back religion you need to bring back economics in school bro economics in school. You need to bring what really matters not not you. Let a guy who duck the army twice with foot with phony letters, I don’t know how that’s not Fraud if I was supposed to go to the army army twice wouldn’t that call for me to be investigated and be charged for fraud on phone phones shouldn’t be charged for that but you guys run around here calling out veterans and fire and veterans and JD Van saying he’s a veteran and watching the veterans go down this is why I say you put them boys back on the battlefield. I guarantee you veterans will probably put them in the back put them in the back. Yeah they probably send them out to clean the mind as you know, they used to do to the black, servicemen back in the days they used to send them off the plane knowing they was gonna die. They used to send them off the plane to clean mines knowing that they’re gonna die. They used to send them off the planes and shot them while they’re getting shot by the opposition, tell me America if I’m lying about that didn’t you do that to the black serviceman you let them jump off the plane you shot at them but those same black servicemen help us win the war it wasn’t just American white blood they died just like everybody else they died and coward faster the black servicemen help us win the war from air and ground Those Jews, the Jews they help us war to so many races that they’re not telling you that helped you win this war World War I and two America is lying to you guys and that’s what’s been the problem for decades. America is lying to the people and they won’t take acceptability But JD Von he’s gonna get the president of United States. I’d rather vote for pence I’d rather vote for the same guy you say you wanted to vote for him for president then JD Vance if we had to put vice president up there and you had a choice out of say the Democrats loss and you had a choice out of JD Vance or pence I had to choose pence, I would choose Cristi. I would choose them near my feet. It doesn’t have a name to go into. I choose my feet. I would choose somebody else’s feet then put a despicable guy like JD vans a couch hump like JD vans AAA I can’t find a white bread American apple pie woman to marry but I had to go out and use my catalog to buy a woman from out-of-state pregnant her and give her a green card JD vans hell fuck fuck noyou will never get my vote even when you die. You won’t get my vote even when they died you won’t get my vote. Good luck, sir.

As a Constitutional American I understand what you are having to do for the good of your country. You are blessed to have a government that thinks of its people first and not as expendable. I support everything you are doing because it is best for your good country. I pray it somehow becomes what is also best in knocking sense into the puppet master and his court Jester.\nWe as Americans are going to have to do MORE to protect ourselves and OUR constitution!??

American here.. please dear God.. Canada!! Do what you have to! We support you!! Stand by you. Please don’t forget, this is definitely not our greater America, and are ready and willing to do what we need to. We’ll suffer with you to get to a better America.

I am from Europe and I hope our leaders will have the same courage and stand to the bullies. American people, I know at least half of you dont agree with what is happening and I do hope you will do your part as we dont want to be enemies but friends.

Harris voter here, you gotta do what you gotta do Canada. I don't know if I will make it through this but there are people out there in worse situations with more overtly oppressive governments, so I can't complain too much. The only thing I can do is hope that the breaking point is soon where those of us who don't hold contempt for compassion and intellect rise up and show the government that we have had enough. I have never wished misfortune upon another human being before, but Trump and Vance have blatantly shown that they are legitimately evil human beings with only their own interests in mind. They are not true Americans, because they don't care about America beyond exploiting it to their own benefit.

All intelligent Americans know this is our president's fault. We stand with you Canada. Do what you have to do.

As a Canadian I can tell you it is a supremely miserable feeling to have a nation which we have such strong feeling for strike at us like this. It is equally miserable to know that our tariffs will also cause pain to Americans. We are sorry, and I know that is cliche, but we are. Have no doubt, if you know us at all, we will fight back passionately, vigorously and indefinitely. President Trump has done what no one should ever do: put our backs to the wall. We have no choice but to fight back. God help us all!

And let me be very clear people we must stand with our allies other countries and Nation especially Canada and other nations to defeat this white supremacist hatred that they have at their doorsteps we need our allies to make this world a better place for all if we stand back and sit back and do nothing and let these white privileged people tear down everything our ancestors died for that they have been lynched for burns and we lost our families loved ones today's white supremacist privilege white people's hair in this country today it's time for a change it's time for a reckon people we are all together make no difference what color are Creed you are we cannot let these white supremacists burn our country down to the ground

Dear Canada, I am so sorry my country is doing this. It is reprehensible and I did not vote for it. I apologize for the half of my country that is blind and uneducated. Do what you have to do, I support it.

I am an American citizen. I did not vote for Trump. I would never vote for somebody like Trump and I’m sorry for what he’s doing to Canada but you do what you have to do we’ll survive, but somebody has to put Trump in his place.

Do you people even have a clue on how to negotiate or do you accept the first offer that you receive at a car dealership? Stop judging Trump because you're using Biden, Obama, and Clinton as barometers and America was taken advantage of during those administrations. As far as tariffs are concerned, Canada and Mexico have committed troops at their border since Trump initiated tariffs. Canada and Mexico are cutting down the flow of fentanyl into our country since Trump initiated tariffs. Trudeau is talking tough because he came off as weak the last time Trump scolded him. Trudeau is scheduled to meet with Trump in a few days. Why is that? Canada will meet Trump's demands on fentanyl and tariffs; and America will profit in the short and long term. Stop believing the fake news who does nothing but create fake chaos no matter what Trump does. These tariffs do not affect our country in any way over the short term. The only reason that the markets are tumbling is because the fake news wants to create panic when there is none. Same thing with Zelensky. You idiots are rooting for a war to continue because Trump is mean. Zelensky is ready to work for peace because the mean guy yelled at him. Wake up idiots! We need strong leaders not people like Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, and Sanders who only care about their own interests. You'll find out soon enough who's making money off the Ukraine War.

It all makes sense if one realizes that trump is a russian asset by the name Krasnov. \nPrime Minister Trudeau, I hold no ill will against you, your beautiful country or country men/women. We, the reasonable Americans, understand that you must do what you have to.

Let's be clear: Fentanyl is an excuse for Trump to do Putin's bidding.\nTrump is the enemy, not the vast majority of Americans. We will fight this fool with every fibre of our being.\nMAGA - Can you NAZI what you have done ?!

usa government just joined russia... europeans do not see usa as an ally anymore. not for the next 4 year. usa is isolating itself like russia and north korea did.\nremember global trade after ww2 is what made usa so rich. if you want to be great again you need to have allies, you need open markets... this is anything but making america great again.

As an American, we love you Canada. Do what you have to do ??????

What tariffs have to do with Trump being getting closer to great President Putin.\nThe best thing Trump did was that he told the truth to the world about the WAR in Ukraine. You people tried to destroy Russia in fact you the west has destroyed European economies ????. But the shameful West has no shame.

I Stand with Canada, Mexico & Ukraine! I understand that you have to do what you have to do! I'm sorry this orange ? is causing division, drama and chaos. He's not of God.\n\nNarcissists isolate their victims. He is treating America like one of his victims. Wake up people.
