JUST IN: President Donald Trump threatened a 35% tariff on goods imported from Canada, a dramatic escalation in an on-again, off-again trade war with the country.

Threatening nations is not presidential. The criminal has spent his life bullying and it has been successful so, guess he thinks it will work with world leaders.
45/47 only solution is to declare targets is when there is a meltdown in the WH regarding Epstein, a national disaster that they could not handle or ICE goons assaulting & dragging innocent immigrants away.
I am so tired of getting up every day wondering what criminal or stupid or vile or racist action your president has committed and how the world will suffer as a result. Truly is your life any better because he is allowed to continue to behave this way?
My sentiment exactly today. I just want to move on. Canada has work to do and the crazy man to the south will not stop banging on our door. I think 41 M of us just wanted to sign an agreefor peace and quiet.
Not just 41 million here...I have family in Germany that say Europe is sick and tired of hearing about and from him. Sounds like Brazil is fed up...absolutely astounding to me that one over bronzed elderly man can create so much disarray for so many just to stoke his ego with his "ratings" and grift
I have no idea how the Canadian team will respond. But, this is not a negotiation. It is a hostage taking.
Any “negotiation” won’t be worth the paper it is written on. He won’t follow it if it doesn’t suit his mood in the moment.
Agreed...he rips up any papers (although I am betting not ones with his sharpies signature...lol) That's why they throw him a bone that is basically meaningless & let him think he "won" then everyone carries on building without him. I feel bad for so many Americans (they didn't all vote for him)
Agreed, there is/was a belief that perhaps we could establish some stability with an agreement. Buy some time to begin the disentanglement. I know Mr. Carney's team is running full out. We can see some glimpses of the future. But, we need to brace for difficult decisions & situations ahead.
Again I am very grateful that at this point in time we have PM Carney to help us through this.
It becomes a mental health issue! He is relentless, glib, risking everybody’s money and sense of safety just for the pleasure it gives him, all sociopathic traits. Commit to buying only products, services, travel from Canada or other countries. It is the only thing the average person can do.
Absolutely!
There is no peace and quiet while he’s in office. If it’s not the weird trade stuff it’ll be something else.
It seems he needs to be in the news cycle every day. I am just so angry they elected a narcissistic mob boss.
I’m in the US, and I’m also so very, very tired of waking up every day wondering what absolute 💩show the orange toddler tyrant will create… Our lives - and those of every human on the planet - are obviously worse with him around. I voted for the over qualified candidate, not this felon.
At what point will you say enough is enough with your criminal leadership? I am so angry that you have subjected the rest of the world to the criminal.
And the iackasses like Bessent who keep supporting him. That man knows better Nutlick is a wannabe gangster and as stupid as Trump but Bessent? Vance? Rubio? They all know that he’s destroying the world order and won’t stop him. It’s infuriating
Their democracy is done. My next worry is how he will use the military against us. Nothing surprises me with this mob boss.
An economically illiterate moron narcissist has thrown a tantrum again and is imposing financial roadblocks on the American people on purpose. He's not even supposed to set tariffs. He's manipulating markets again. You should be saying any one of these @cnn.com , not this toothless garbage
The 2024 movie civil war was about the political alliance between Texas and California, between a republican state and a democrat state joining forces to fight against a fascist government in D.C. of a President running in his third term. * www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDyQ...
What is trumplethinskin upset about today?? Another day, another trumper tantrum by the petulant toddler tyrant…
lol no one believes the TACO
Even CNN can't get it right ffs- other nations will not "be charged", US companies needing what they sell will be, so US consumers will be.
TACO
Can someone please get rid of the idiot already 🤷🏻♀️
Trump doesn’t understand what tariffs mean in terms of who eventually pays the costs: the consumer who buys things will pay tariffs. How can you not get that? Maybe it’s his uneducated advisors who feed bad information. Anyway trumps just not consistent and his word is now worthless.
Epstein who? 🤡
Pure extortion by a wannabe mob boss. ELBOWS UP!!!!!!!!
One of the most frustrating thing is the constant looping back to the same ol falsehoods like the fentanyl BS. We’re being tariffed bc Trump is too dumb to understand trade agreements so he simply says they’re bad unfair nasty or whatever. He’s a madman.
The tariffs will be paid by the US consumers! Let’s just wait and see what happens and do not panic. Canada will find new markets for exports and will import from other than the US in future. Carney just needs to be strong and do not bow to the tanned, orange Clown. Elbows up Canada 🇨🇦!
I think we still need time. But I’m hopeful he chose his deadline for a reason
TACO
Go Canada. Shove it up that degenerates arse!
So Trump wants to charge Americans 35% more for Canadian products they need, like potash, that raises costs to American farmers that they have to pass on to American consumers, so that he can continue to find his fascist projects.
Canada needs to stop exporting the goods that the USA relies on (like potash, oil, critical minerals, etc). See how the USA gets along with it all!!
Dear Canada, We apologize for the Republican assclowns, especially the Orange AssClown. They suffer from collective cranial rectal insertion. The lack of oxygen and shitty outlook makes them irration. - sane Americans
You all need to start rotating general strikes through the states starting with California and New York. Seriously - he’s driving your country to bankruptcy.
Close our borders and immediately halt any goods going down. Bamm see how long your buffoon takes to break a sweat.
Can you get Alberta onside to stop Cdn crude heading south? If it must keep flowing, eliminate any subsidy on oil to the US market and put a 35% export tax on it. Industry would be camped out in the Oval Office.
I’m pretty sure he’s got the Saudis and Putin telling him that he doesn’t need our crude.
As I understand it, Cdn crude is a heavy oil that American refineries are set up to handle. It would take time and money to retool them to handle lighter crude from elsewhere. And Cdn crude is discounted. So yes, Putin and Saudis might be in his ear, but American refineries are in his other ear.🫠
Great idea. !
Donald Trump has finally pissed off enough #Canadians to hurt the #PalmSprings economy 🧵thread bsky.app/profile/edhi...
Fuck off USA. That is all.
Two weeks?
Idk why news outlets refuse to report on the smart election lawsuit or the Electiontruthalliance.org report on impossibly of what happened w/o tampering. Jesus christ. He cheated. End of story. Hes illegitimate. everything done is unconditional based on the fact he never had the power 2 begin with
There are Laws against criminals (theft included) in (and OUT of) Canada. Slowly but surely, the world will no longer supply *anything* to the USA.
he is loosing.
I'm hoping the rest of the world takes a "school of fish" approach.
Carney should not have backed down on the digital services tax. Trump is going to slam us with whatever he likes regardless. No reason to give up in advance.
Brazil didn't back down and they have a Left wing government, they are just tired of his bullshit
Time to reinstate the DTS.
How could you be proud of your country when you have such a stupid dumb TACO leader !!? Common ! Again with these threats !?? But, by electing AGAIN, a "pussy-grabbing" convicted conman, you deserve such a jerk.
A relentless and unjustified attack by the US.
Elbows up 💪!! Don’t let the bastard grind you down . . . Trumps attacks will continue until the Republicans in the U.S. Congress & the conservatives in the Supreme Court grow spines!
This was always the plan - economic takeover - he did say this is what he would do, months ago. Plus he wants all Canadian companies to move to/manufacture in the US.
Canada has been a close ally for decades, and this kind of tariff bomb feels more like political posturing than sound policy. Punishing an entire nation economically especially one that shares so many integrated industries with us only undermines trust and destabilizes both economies.
That closeness ended when he started threatening our sovereignty.
Closeness can't survive when sovereignty is on the line. Once the threats started, any illusion of partnership ended.
Exactly.

@mark-carney.bsky.social @anitaanand.bsky.social enough is enough. The deal that was close is NOT and actually going backwards. He’s still talking fentanyl!!! He is not serious in dealing with the US’s closest ally or respecting the agreement HE SIGNED with Canada and Mexico.
@mark-carney.bsky.social time to reinstate the DTS, no more American defense contracts, add a surcharge for travel to the states, and whatever restrictions, tariffs and charges you were considering to implement. Canadians elected you and the Liberals to stand up to Trump. Now is the time!
“Trump threatens” is the story of his whole thug-ass presidency.
No one cares. Let him have his little tantrum. The trading relationship/friendship was nice while it lasted but nothing is worth this headache of an administration that doesn’t care about its own people let alone its historically close allies. We will all move on from America. I already have.
Most of us have. Just loud people now. If they want to sink themselves in taxes be our guests Most companies are going elsewhere, including myself now. Its not like we didnt already figure this out during covid lol, we know how to find new markets and have.
Take off the kid gloves CNN. There is no trade war. There is a president violating the trade AGREEMENT he negotiated. His word is worth less than his bankruptcies.
They don’t know what the fuck they are doing!
It is extortion. Call it what it is.
Tariffs on, tariffs off, tariffs on, tariffs off, tariffs on. Reminds one of watching a tennis rally
Dear Sher Michael Singleton, why don't you go back to 1867 and see how your ass feels? Jive ass turkey.
Ignore the TACO. Wait him out. 3 years for a place like Japan -- existing thousands of years before the US -- is nothing. Let him destroy the US.
I think we all (including news networks) should ignore the tariffs stupidity, it is all used as a smoke curtain
This is exhausting. I actually believe most of us Canadians have already moved on. We don't care anymore.
Trump's cockwomble is showing. I.e. incompetent mind with arrogance
That’s not just aggressive it’s reckless. Canada is one of our biggest trading partners, and this kind of move could backfire hard on American consumers, farmers, and manufacturers. Using tariffs to push foreign policy goals like drug enforcement. This political theater has real-world consequences.
Sometimes Trump is on But mostly Trump is just a little off
Trump has tarnished toxified the US brand Trump has proven his agreements are not worth the paper they are penned on, example USMCA. The world has moved on for stability & trust Trump has no deals but Canada has been signing deals all across Europe Asia & even mining in Greenland
Unfortunately, it is clear no country can trust Trump to honor agreements, and they can no longer trust the United States to honor any agreements. His ignorance and fickle corruption has permanently tainted the US reputation. The International community saw the American public vote him in twice.
Trump is taxing the middle class in bankruptcy. These tariffs are proving deleterious to the economic engine of the country, the middle class
No competent enough for president
Report it like it is: Americans will be charged 35% on Canadian goods because of Trump's tariffs. Your headlines are lies, the way you report it is a lie.
@meidastouch.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Will the US please get your unhinged & criminal Pres under control? His extorting trade partners & causing global economic chaos is becoming increasingly pathetic, & is in violation of international treaties. Isolation is becoming the only solution.
Call this insanity NOW
Canadian here. This isnt impacting us....like at all No one is even talking about it. If you wanna tax yourself be our guest.
I see nothing new in Trump. He represents the US thoughts, philosophy.. Not only from nowadays.. US is this, Trump is just doing the same politics but like a bitch. Making a fuss. The world needs to react. It’s one country against the world.
Captain Kindergarten has no idea what he’s doing. Would love to hear him explain the math behind this. Seriously, this cannot be the person voted in as POTUS. He might just be the least qualified person on the planet.
There are still people in the US who think he’s doing the eighth thing. It’s a cult. I mean how do you get normal people to do the stuff ICE aid doing? They aren’t normal anymore. They’re just crazy cult members who can’t think for themselves
Please tell me he is tariffing US energy imports from Canada.
Who knows They’ve been at 10% since the start as they are not under CUSMA If this goes the way I think it will I’d like to see a 10-20% export tax on energy to level the playing field and trigger TACO
JUST IN: Fuck you USA.
Canadians need to redirect their USA demand elasticities to zero and at a zro base.No matter what the price, the Canadian consumer should shout, Hell No! Look for Canadian brands first and failing that go international on any country other than USA. ELBOWS WAY UP CANADA 🇨🇦. THE TIME IS NOW! 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦
It’s the industrial stuff that hurts us most not the commercial. So we need our industry to get it together in order to turn the corner but with so much US ownership 🤷♀️
In other news, Scott Jennings’s on-again, off-again relationship with Donald Trump will end in a Salvadoran gulag.
“You will never be disappointed with The United States of America,” Trump added. Umm…. Too late.
Nobody believes TACO anymore
Why is he so stupid?
This is so stupid it is inevitable Trump does it.
MAGA Math Strikes Again Trump’s ‘35% tariff’ = tax hike on Americans to fund his trade war vanity. Canada isn’t paying—*you* are, at the grocery store.
MAGA Math: 2+2=5.
Maga : 2 + 2 = big beautiful number
This is all illegal so lets close the border to all Americans and expel all american diplomats until sanity prevails. Canada first. Enough is enough.
Canadians don’t understand the nature of their current relationship with the United States. They have always been dependent on the U.S. for their economic success - they just haven’t been accustomed to being treated as a dependent.
Oh well the Moron said what now?
Oh man, forgot van even had a daddy donnie diddle den.
LOL we Canadians really are good at making our disapproval felt.🤣🤣
If Trumpy goes through a this I expect a lot of gas and heating oil prices to rise as, at least in New England, much of it comes from Canada
