Trump said you will not need to vote again during the election campaign, what has he got coming for America what underhanded devious act is in stall.\nYou voted in a convicted criminal and a pathological liar and a sexual predator, a criminal that supports convicted violent criminals that assaulted police

How can the msm and their guests say they don't understand why he's doing this? If you look at every thing Trump does thru the lense of pleasing Putin and putting Rudssia and China's agenda first, it all makes sense. It's time to start calling this what it is. A traitorous president is selling out his own country and countrymen. He needs to he stopped bamn before its too late. This is not Amerixa first, it's America last.

Bad for Canada. Bad for America. Bad for the world. The question is whether the majority of MAGAs abandon Trump after a recession begins because of Trump's policies. I'm not sure. Maybe? For sure, they'll try to blame Biden. And some just want Trump to fight the culture war and are willing to accept the consequences of an economic downturn so long as trans people are restricted on the bathroom they can use. Some are rich enough that they wouldn't be affected by a recession. As if world events weren't already volatile enough.

You all around the world, making the mistake of siding with foolish leaders who's own public do not support them against Donald Trump--when the majority of Americans do--will feal the wrath of every single American, who is sick of being bullied by you. We do not have to pay your bills. We do not have to keep your country safe. Keep running your mouth, CNN and dividing this country and the world with your lies. Everyone knows Zelenskyy was disrespectful to Biden and Trump and Vance--who we owe nothing to. Ukraine is not an ally of ours. Ukraine will never be allowed to NATO. And all of you can enjoy the tariffs. We don't need you we don't model our behavior after you. You'll never be America. You will never understand what it means to be American. You will never come into our Oval Office and disrespect our president, Democrat, or Republican and get away with it. Shame on you for your lies! You know better but you get paid well. This is why your ratings are in the tank and only those lacking any logical critical thinking still watch you.

Trump is doing the right thing. You'll realize when the results start coming. His priority is America, not these leaches who suck on America's wealth for generations and still have the audacity

America , this is what a leader looks like, eloquent, smart, literate, honest. Not what you have skeaming, liar, treasonous, preditor and criminal. \n\nWhy republican voyers cannot see this disgusts me. If you cant see what damage he is doing. You are whats wrongbwith America , and you have no right to call yourself a patriot as you brought your own nations to its knees. Trust me America will fall under Trump and Vance.

Canada this Trump not all of America, we stand with you and Ukraine what he is doing is wrong and unjust. ?I believe he should be tried for treason and be impeached. -Nikki

I am A Vietnam Veteran , Jan-Dec 1967 , and am A True Blue American Patriot who loves America with Every Ounce Of My Being !!!!! That being said , what Donald Trump and his Traitorous Conspirators are doing to Our Neighbors , Both Canada and Mexico , is A Travesty Beyond anything An American President has EVER DONE in Our History !!!! My belief is that Trump is A Russian Asset who is doing everything he can to Tear Apart Our American Democracy , to give Vladimir Putin An Open Door to America !!!! Trump is A TRAITOR TO AMERICA , MAKE NO MISTAKE !!!! Prepare yourselves for America`s 2nd Civil War !!! IT IS COMING !!!!! You can laugh all you want , but you won`t be laughing when you begin to hear Gunshots ringing out in Your Neighborhood !!! The ONLY THING that will convince Trump he made A HUGE MISTAKE is Americans armed to The Teeth standing outside of The White House , ready to rip him out of it by force !!!! He has Underestimated Americans Resolve !!!! REAL AMERICANS `` WILL NOT STAND BY `` while he systematically Shreds our Democracy , and Names Himself THE KING OF AMERICA !!!! ITS TIME FOR WAR AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its pretty obvious Trump and his thugs are trying to hurt America, not help America.

Trump laughed at Biden but he is the same not OK old man now. He wanted to make America great again but raised inflation, lost neighbours, allies, buyers of military equipment and his own political profit. In one day America has become not the first country in the world but it has become known that EU helped Ukraine more and that all countries can live without US. ?

As a stronger Trump supporter, i say this, 'Trump might trust Russian but American are not. Russian might trust Trump but not trust American... Europe always trust America.'

America is not your personal property [Donald Trump]

America must now feel that voting for Trump will not make America great again, only lonely. They will soon bitterly regret this selfish path. The free world can also defend itself in this senseless trade war. It's a shame for the decent Americans who will also be affected by this.

So the fentinyl across the Canadian border last month was less than an ounze. This is not about America or tariffs, come on America, Trump is a Russian asset.

America this is what you get when you vote to let the devil take over! Trump is doing this for himself and Putin, not Americans

Please accept my apology. Not all America supports Trump and his efforts to smear our image which has always stood up for Democracy. Trump is so wrong for leadership of the Free World. God bless Canada which is courageous to stand up agains’t Trump and Putin when American seem to be totally confused about where their loyalty should remain.

Reading as much as I could of the comments below, it is with great respect that we as human can still care for one another even when we are from different countries, continents, backgrounds an so one. Evil will always try to do it's thing and we must come together to abolish it. Being from different countries in this situation is not much we can do. Maybe stop importing from America, at least till this administration is gone in 4 years. The way it's going , America will lose a lot of it's allies and unless tyranny and dictatorship follows, we will vote the so called politicians out of office and claim our rights to a better way of life. Because now, America suffers and other countries will follow. And it is just the beginning. Learn how to become stronger and don't vote for convicted felon that is doing Russia's bid. Not sure how the followers can say with a straight face that what Trump is doing is for the betterment of our country . God bless us all.

Please accept my apology. Not all America supports Trump and his efforts to smear our image which has always stood up for Democracy. Trump is so wrong for leadership of the Free World.

First of all, let's be clear, it is TRUMP doing this, NOT America. NOT American citizens! It is unfortunate that FOOLS re-elected him!! Now, we are ALL feeling the stupidity of HIS actions!! America plz, WAKE UP!!!

It is time to understand Trump only exposes pretext that aren't really his concerned he just want to have an excuse to do what he wants to do and this is grabbing some resources punching external allies etcetera it is time to understand that nothing will please Donald Trump government so it is time to bypass America this is very sad for some of us that have made business with American businesses and companies it is not easy it is not good to overnight rethink everything because of that guy in the White House

America is not Great its falling you got Trump too Blame you Elected a lunatic who does not know how tariffs Work

Not everyone in the United States of America stands with trump, my family didn't vote for him and can't stand him, we stand with Canada and Ukraine!

Dear Prime Minister Trudeau,\nI am an American living in America. You are doing the right thing. You are taking a stand against an ignorant, hateful, facist. Most Americans know that Trump does not care what happens to us, to our country, or to our Constitution.

Who convinced Trump of this? I like him but this trade war against Canada isn’t the way to go, really. I feel Canadians were mistakenly targeted. US needs allies not foes. Proud of Trudeau for the first time. I don’t live in the US but in Canada at the moment, not Canadian either, but I’m very objective in my perception about these occurrences. I hope America makes peace with Canada so strengthen both sides, hmmm.

This is not about tariffs. It is about Trump unravelling all of America's relationships with its allies, to make the country weaker, in the service of Putin. Canada is just the first. But Europe will be next. Then America stands alone, too weak to be a world leader.

Trump is compromised and run by Putin. Putin is Trumps handler, aidrd and abetted by Musk. If things remain thecway tgey are America will not be great again for a very long time.

Thank you trump for not being a coward like Biden. America 1st, I’m glad trump and Vance stood up to that ungrateful clown

@robertedward7023 \n\nServing the country doesn’t mean that you’re right. President Trump was not bullying Zelensky but Zelensky was disrespectful to our President. “You have nice oceans so you don’t feel it now but in the future you will feel it “ is what Zelenskyy stated. How can you speak against your President who has done nothing but look out for Americans to defend someone who would be so disrespectful to our country. Zelensky also stated that Americans will bleed for his country. Why would anyone defend this blatant hatred. President Trump has tried to give Zelensky what he needs not what he wants. All of these countries gather together to rally against POTUS because he won’t allow them to financially enslave Americans and use America as a personal piggy bank. Every single American who loves this country should have President Trumps back.

What has Canada and European countries done to actually try and end the death and destruction from this war? Europe buys energy from Russia, and Canada is only giving 650 million dollars in weapons over three years, while America has supplied hundreds of billions of dollars in aid and military equipment. Zelensky goes around the world dressed in a military outfit with no desire to stop the slaughter of humans on both sides. There have been thousands of wars where, eventually, one side has to accept the reality that they can not win, Zelensky is unwilling to see this. President Trump was elected because we want his AMERICA FIRST AGENDA, and with us saddled with 36 TRILLION dollars of debt, this war needs to stop.

What would be interesting to know is how trade between Canada and Europe explodes, Europe would like all the oil and gas and rare earthminerals Canada has, so would China, if for nothing other than to prevent Americas access to it. I think trump and musk think russia will supply rare earth minerals on the cheap, but Russia is about to collapse again and various regions break away as they did last time, but this time is much worse than back then, Russia really could cease to exist and America will not benefit at all, Europe China India Mongolia will benefit. Russians hate america more than Americans hates Russia, America has been prosperous, while 40% of Russians don't have running water or electricity, yes the big cities and towns in the west are better off but most of Russia does not even have paved roads.\n\nTrump is backing his banker, and everyone knows it, pootin is using trump, very clearly shown when he set up President Zelensky in that ambush.\n\nEurope China and other countries will be in line to sign trade deals. I think it was clever of Trudeau to say what he did. And to set a few months before the massive cuts in trade with America as what the rapist president is doing, what republicans are doing will be biting very hard by then, and Canada cutting trade at that time will be possibly the straw that breaks trump.

Canada and Mexico are not responsible for the people in the US who chose to use drugs. In fact, it's the United States job to keep illegal drugs and immigrants out of the US and they are doing a poor job of it and need someone else to blame. Mexico could retaliate in a way that could flood the US with illegal drugs and immigrants and refuse to repatriate its citizens back into Mexico. The rest of Central and South America could do the same in support of Mexico. They need to get Trump out of office before he ruins America.\nI remember the press conference with the USA (Trump), Canada and Mexico when signing the new trade agreement during Trump last time in office. Trump proudly stated that this is the greatest agreement in the history of the United States. Last week he wanted to know who in the US agreed to the terrible trade agreement. He is losing his mind and cognitive function is deteriorating at a rapid rate. Re-negotiating contracts after the work is complete is how Trump ran his businesses. He has bankrupted many small businesses by not paying them knowing that they do not have the money to go to court. He is only rich because of daddy's money otherwise he would have never survived his many bankruptcies. Thats why no one will loan him money. I can't wait until he screws over the government of Saudi Arabia with one of his shady business deals. Anyone remember what happened to Khashoggi for just authoring a bad article on Saudi's Leaders. What do you think will happen to Trump for monetarily screwing them over?

Nothing Trump does makes sense. He’s an utter embarrassment. He’s making our country look like a backwards, oppressive, “pile of garbage”. If any MAGA bothered to research is life back to the 70’s and 80’s they’d find Trump was NEVER good at business. He was good at running them into the ground. He hasn’t a republican cell in his body. He doesn’t care which party or what ideology anyone is, so long as they’re naive and ignorant enough to buy his lies and bullshit. It’s just all about Trump. Everything he’s doing is contrary to making America great. Ironic that there are many so-called Christians who support him, when he fits the biblical description of the Antichrist a bit too well. It’ll take decades to restore America’s standing in the world, because that narcissistic, bloated, power-hungry, piece of shit wants to keep attention centered on him. He’s doing all he can to keep us stupid, and brainwashed, because anyone who’s intelligent, and has any level of critical thinking poses a threat. When will the orange Kool aid wear off?…and btw, I’m not a liberal. I’m not a democrat. I’m rational.

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.

Mr Trump is a criminal, who is destroying the United States of American. I love Canada and Canadian people . Washington state loves Canada. We are trying to stop Mr Trump and Mr Musk. This is not America, ????✌?

IT'S NOT THE UNITED STATES BABOSO. IT'S TRUMP, VANCE AND MUSK! TRUMP IS NOT A SMART MAN! IT'S ALL ABOUT HIM AND NOT EVEN HIS FOLLOWERS. IT'S JUST HIM. KISS THE RING! I'M TRYING TO SAVE UP FOR MY RETIREMENT. IT WILL ALL BE GONE, GONE. MY NEST EGG GONE.! MAGA, MAKE AMERICA GARBAGE AGAIN!

Still no words on Canadas high exports into America. This is bull! Thanks' Trump first president to stand next to the people and not on top of them!

The line has been crossed. America is now an enemy and axis power. Make no mistake about it. This is not posturing on the Republican side. It's deliberate, planned, and thought out. Trump IS on Russia's side.

Canada uses technology and forward thinking to protect their border. The US is decades behind border control and instead hang on building a border wall. A wall. A wall that has proven time and again to be ineffective and costly to build and maintain. Trump is a dinosaur and an autocrat that has brought America to its knees. Americans will not stand for it. This is temporary.

Wait a second, just a few weeks ago CNN was saying that Canada had outfoxed the US/Trump and they were not doing anything more than what they had decided to do well before Trump's election when it comes to stopping illegal immigration and the transport of fentanyl into the US? Now they are trying to convince us that Canada is very understanding and accommodating of US needs and is doing a lot!!!! Fake News Network! True Americans should stand with United States of America and not Canada. LOL

Trump is just doing Putin's bidding. Make America Great Again? Boy he sure had the USA fooled. I blame failings in the education system - too many school shootings and not enough reading.

Trump chose to do this its not Canadas choice and I simple do not see how its justified. This is a tax on Americans make no mistake its OUR prices that will go up as well as Canadians. This sure smells of Russian influence to me, its almost as if Trump is trying to hurt America, he is for sure tearing up the Government. If Putin had a wish list separating us from our staunch allies would be #1

I agree 99,9% with everything Prime Minister Trudeau said. We all know what is that 0,1% I don't agree with... And that's of course that Justin said that Trump is smart... We all know he's dumb as a post, ignorant and proud of it.. The West (which of course includes South Korea, Japan, Australia, etc) has rejected MAGA and Trump.. He America, call u s back when the Orange Buffoon not around anymore.

I think President Trump should make America great again on it's enemies not allies. Get some around the country and to help make it greater again tho

As an American, who did not vote for trump i side with our neighbors in Canada, then and now. America should maintain and further their status as leader of the free world and free trade. Not try to bully other countries, especially not our neighbors and allies.

Every day I now get up and never felt more depressed about what Trump is doing not just to Canada, Ukraine, Europe. Wake up America before it’s too late. Surely you can’t support a so called president that if he is let will take Greenland, Gaza , Canada . I hope not, stand firm . He is as bad as Putin in my eyes!

All countries must do what Canada is doing we tired of republican thugs trump his a devil sick crazy old man imperialist we are not leaving in the olden days the world has change America will be finished soon

16:50 we know for a fact this is NOT actually about Fentanyl and border security. Trump has literally stated that this is tactic to try and annex us, to decimate our economy so we have no choice but to join America. I just hope that our european allies will actually have our backs.

When I was growing up in Canada, hearing of someone being a “Proud American” was something I admired. Today it’s a punch line to a joke about the American education system. They have nothing left to be proud of, and I’m so thankful to be from this country instead. Trump administration or not, the American people can not be trusted to vote in their own self interest, let alone the interests of the allies that stood with them for the last century and who have lost lives sending men and women over seas to answer the American call for friendship, justice, and loyalty. America wants to stand alone so let them. The global order is shifting, and Canada needs to plan accordingly. Don’t listen to what people say, watch what they do, and Americans have done enough.

I was born and raised in Siberia, occupied by Russia. I believe that America was and will remain the guiding star of the free world. Free people will not allow their country to join the club of dictatorships. How did this happen? I am looking for sources to read the comments of those who still believe that Trump is not destroying America, is not extinguishing the guiding star of all free people on earth. Where can I find them?

what are you doing trump, don't listen to Elon musk don't let him run this country or Vladimir putin I thought you were the tough guy make America grow , not to destroy it . put your shit together .
