  2. Why? Because they called his bluff? Because they stood up for their countries? He’s
    The one that signed these trade deals in the first place… deals he called the best deals in history.

    Now he’s spewing on ~~truth~~ social that anyone against tariffs is owned by China including the wall street journal…. He’s Unhinged and senile

  3. He’s just going to threaten higher tariffs for retaliation against his original 25%. Waste of time talking to the orange clown 🤡

  4. So it took retaliatory tariffs from Canada and Mexico for Trump to finally want to talk?

    Guy’s been golfing like a dickhead while Trudeau was trying to reach him. 

  5. >>Trump also suggested he could impose tariffs on the European Union (EU), and potentially the United Kingdom, after he has threatened to do so if they don’t purchase large quantities of American oil and gas to make up for its growing deficit with the U.S.

    >>“…the European Union, it’s an atrocity what they’ve done,” he said on Sunday night.

    >>The EU purchases the lion’s share of American oil and gas and no additional volumes are available…

    What a dipshit.

    It’s clear that there is no basis for any of these tariffs, and he’s just casting around for justifications post facto.

  6. If any government were foolish enough to just sit there and take it without retaliating. Then the result would be more and more demands. It is like making concessions to a blackmailer or a terrorist. It is the same thing. All governments realize this.

  7. How come Canada is referred to by Trudeau’s name, but they don’t have the decency to name Claudia Sheinbaum instead of ‘Mexico’?

  8. If the orange buffoon does withdraw the tariffs, I hope both countries continue with their focus on moving trade reliance away from the USA.

    Make this Trumps legacy, weaker trading relationships around the globe

  9. He doesn’t understand how any of this works. Americans will pay tariffs to the US government on Canadian goods they import. Canadians will pay tariffs to the Canadian government on any American goods they import. We will both be hurt. And for what? He has said there is nothing Canada can do to avoid the tariffs and he wants to annex Canada through economic coercion. There is a madman in the White House.

  10. The economy loves stability. I feel like a president that is good for the economy would manage their foreign policy well enough to “talk” to partners about trade before causing instability by starting a trade war.

    If you thought the economy was bad now, imagine the chilling effect on investment that will occur when economic policy changes every 2 weeks because we have a man-child at the head of this country.

    I can’t think of anyone who stands to gain from any of this nonsense except our geopolitical adversaries who would be quite happy with the weakened soft power of the US

    Looking forward to the price of eggs coming down when 48 takes office, assuming we have a 48 and it’s not just Trumps corpse propped up

  11. Trudeau needs to arrive 20 late to the call, and hang up the second Trump say some bullshit like calling Canada a US state or claiming we’re treating the US badly.

    When someone is acting like a stupid child, you cut that shit off. Taking shit from Trump is just going to encourage him more. Canada is united in defiance of this crap.

  12. They called his bluff and stood up to him. Now he wants to talk lmao

  13. The reasonable thing would have been to speak with these leaders before imposing the tariffs, especially given they have been trying to speak with him for the entirely of these two weeks to negotiate while he has outright refused to give that opportunity.

    This has nothing to do with fentanyl despite the very real problem that is. Domestically, since taking office Trump has pulled millions of dollars of resources AWAY from combatting drug enforcement, including fentanyl, in favour of using those resources to deport mostly innocent people. He has purposely made the fentanyl problem in the US worse by making it less of a priority. He is using that very real problem as an excuse to lash out at leaders of countries who he feels have wronged him personally, while his actions actually worsen the problem.

  14. The markets are reacting and it isn’t looking good for him. He hates to back down, but he hates losing even more.

  15. >The Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan think tank, estimated Trump’s tariffs announced Saturday would result in what amounts to an average tax increase of $830 per household in the U.S.

    That’s nice. (sigh)

  16. Someone showed Trump how the stock market is reacting to this shit.

  17. Shouldn’t he have met with them BEFORE he imposed punitive sanctuons. 🤔

  18. Wouldn’t it be awesome if Trudeau simply played dead and didn’t answer the phone??? “Leave your message after the beep…”

  19. I hope they tell him to get fucked. That’s what he needs to hear and no one has been able to say it to his face.

  20. Damage is done. Countries are not going to rely on the unstable government we have. Canada and Mexico will seek out new partners to get closer to which can include countries like China that are more stable.

  21. I feel for Trudeau and Sheinbaum having deal with Trump…. It’ll be like trying to reason with an over tired toddler with a full diaper.

  22. This will go over as well as the call to Denmark about Greenland. He wants both countries to submit or he will ratchet up the pressure. He has no class, no decorum, and no brain. All he knows is bullying. Worst of all is that the only account of these discussions will be from him – so total bullshit.

  23. God he’s such a fucking moron. I don’t know how anyone listens to anything this degenerate says and doesn’t come away thinking he’s the dumbest person in the room.

    “It’s been a one-way street. We subsidize Canada to the tune of about $200 billion a year. And for what? What do we get out of it? We don’t get anything out of it.”

    What do we get out of buying goods and services from Canada (not a subsidy, by the way)? Fucking goods and services you fucking moron!

    Can a reporter ask him if he thinks he should be in the business of giving things away for free to people or if his customers are chumps for subsidizing his ass by buying whatever bullshit he’s selling? God, it’s so stupid it hurts.

  24. I want them to record their conversations with him, and offer to drop tariffs on the sole condition that he apologize and admit he made a mistake calling for tariffs.

    And then publish the recordings when he violently refuses.

  26. Trudeau called his bluff and retaliated. Now Trump wants to have a conversation with us?

  27. Trump’s an idiot, but I think this plan is being fed to him by the scarier people behind the curtains: tariffs are just a roundabout way of taxing US consumers 25%. This tax will be used to offset income tax reductions which only benefit the rich. It’s got project 2025 written all over it and it’s going to be used to pull the wool over the eyes of most americans. They’ll pass it off as trump just being trump.

  28. > It’s been a one-way street. We subsidize Canada to the tune of about $200 billion a year. And for what? What do we get out of it?

    Maybe, I dunno, $200B worth of stuff?

  30. I am willing to take the pain of higher prices to make Trump face actual consequences for his dumb shit games. Please hold strong Canada and Mexico.

  31. Trudeau should just tell trump “drop the stupid tariff bs, stop with the 51st state garbage, admit NO fentanyl is crossing the border THEN we will talk”
