I would be so ashamed if the other leaders of the world would have to talk to my president like to a little spoiled brat...good luck to everyone in the US

Im so ashamed of the american government. I respect canadas actions and support them. I hope we can stop this mad man soon.

Trudeau is an example of true leadership! I have never been so ashamed of being an American

I am a retired U.S. Marine. I love the United States and I recognize Russia as a mortal enemy. I cannot support President Musk and Vice President tRump. I stand with Canada and Ukraine. America is the aggressor against our friends in Canada, I am ashamed. Just know that most of the United States stands with Canada and Ukraine even though some voted for the tangerine menace.

As an American, I am deeply ashamed. We don't want this either. I can't understand why people did not educate themselves before voting. We are all victims of the confirmation bias of maga.

I love my Canadian neighbors. ? I'm so very ashamed this Hitler has gotten put into power in the U.S. Thank you President Trudeau, I agree ?%.\nI support Ukraine I support Democracy I love my neighbors to the north and south. \n?????????

I am ashamed of our corrupt government and the magat cultists who helped put them back in power. I hope you're all so happy.. things are just grand ?\n True Americans stand strong with our brothers and sisters, our allies around the world! ??We will NOT stop fighting! FDJT FDJT FDJT!

Americans should be sad and ashamed for Trump's insanity . As Canadians, we will weather the storm, but I'm not sure our alliance will ever be the same when it eventually ends.

As a Canadian a citizen ,I am more than angry ,I am ashamed and embarrassed at the Trudeau government ! All the liberals needed to do is fix borders and take care of the devastation safe supply sites which Canadian citizens have been calling for ,for years !! Disgusting ! United States have been friends and neighbours throughout most of Canadian history and this selfish greedy corrupted PM just destroyed all of it for nothing but to impose himself on the seat since we are going to war ! Detestable! Trudeau is the threat to Canadians not Trump ! ??????❤️and remember this clown Trudeau is suppose to be stepping down in the coming days ! Think about how selfish and careless these liberals are !

As an American who supports justice, integrity, and respect.. to watch this fear/ego charged charade makes me sick and ashamed at what this country has become: a political scam aimed at taking far more than is given, lies stacked on top of lies and a global deception scheme that risks the livelihood of every single citizen. We can’t go on like this. This administration will destroy America before the end.

I am so ashamed of my country and the millions of low-information idiots who voted for tRump. I'm glad Canada is fighting back!

As an American, I am heartily ashamed.

Im ashamed of my country. Godbless Canada for not rolling over.

As an american, i am more ashamed that i could ever imagine at being in this country

I ❤Canada! Trudeau speaks the truth and shows compassion for his own people as well as for the American people. I have never felt so ashamed to be an American.

We have a Russian American president and I’m ashamed to be called an American along side these criminal forgivers who elected this Putin controlled No good piece of ? President

I am a citizen of the United States and love my country and my family has a long history here. Had a great grandfather who fought in the Revolutionary War. But I am so ashamed of my President and so disappointed in my fellow citizens who voted for this awful man that right now I wish I was a Canadian.

I'm an American veteran who served for 40 years in the military, and I'm proud I did. But this thing that's in the White House makes me ashamed to be an American. Please don't think real Americans support this ass. It's the slow witted people who only come out of the hills when they want to attack our Capital. We apologize for these people. Please pray for us. It's in God's hands now.

As an American I am disgusted and ashamed. This is not the end of the madness coming out of Trump's small, unpatriotic, destructive mind. Prime Minister Trudeau and President Zelensky did not roll over and let Trump bully them. Trump should look at these men as leaders, and stop playing with Putin's peter. Trump and Vance should resign immediately.

Please stop saying all of Americans are wanting this. This is so sad. I am so ashamed of our government not caring about us.

Americans do not want tariffs at all . I am ashamed!!!

I have read many comments expressing support for Canada and assurances that the writers didn't vote for this administration. Until now, something like this could only be seen in totalitarian countries, it was the Russians, Belarusians who explained that they did not support Putin or Lukashenka, that they didn't want to be associated with the actions of their authorities. Now i see the times when Americans are ashamed of their administration in front of their allies.

I grew up like 20 minutes from the Canadian border. I am them, they are us. This is ridiculous. I spent half my childhood in Canada, my friend was married in Perth Andover... I could go on. I'm so ashamed. Donald Trump is a danger to the safety of humanity and democracy. Canada.. if you will have me, I am yours.

Prime Minister Trudeau...I and others like me did not want this. We do not approve of the current occupier of The Oval Office. We are ashamed and embarrassed.

?️No Rational American Blames Canada?️\n…Especially, we the people who never\nvoted for Trump & Enablers and know\nwe are stuck with them-For Now. Americans\nwho did vote for Donald should be ashamed!

I am ashamed to be an 'American! I fully support the Canadian response to this trade war!

I’m a Canadian and I’m ashamed of our prime minister. We have a drug problem in Canada. We shouldn’t legalize drugs here. Just look at our Hastings st in Vancouver. Trump has ever right to do this to us and we have to ban all drugs here

I am a U.S. citizen, almost 66 years old. For the second time in my life, I am **ashamed** of my President. Trump is causing damage that will take literally DECADES to repair. Yet again, another country's leader shows his sound, prudent, measured, intelligent and **honorable** character - in such stark contrast to ours.

As an American I am absolute ashamed and disgusted at what is happening to our standing in the world thanks to DJT. And I’m so sorry at the way this is affecting our allied countries and their citizens, our friends. I’m so sorry you have to fight this fight because so many of us failed to stop the fascist oligarchy takeover at home

American here - stand strong Canada ?? I'm ashamed of the weakness my country is exhibiting.

We have half of the American people to thank for this, as they voted for this bafoon back into the White House!!! I’m sorry Canada that you’re having to deal with this…a lot of us Americans don’t deserve this either, but apparently this is what the majority of Americans want. I’ve never been so ashamed of my own country before. Today, this year, this era is a sad time for American’s history.

Americans don't want this, donald trump and every single person working for HIM do not agree with this and are truly ashamed of our current fake government. trump wants to de the dictator of America. That will never happen. My heart is broken for what they are doing and we will correct this. Even the people who voted for him are now figuring out that he said everything they wanted to here to get their vote was a lie and would never fulfill his empty promices(go figure). We true American patriots are truly sorry. Canada is our neighbors and friends.

The Brainwashed Americans should be ashamed of themselves to believe that Trump is the Answer, the guy is going to tear the world apart and that goes one way.. wake up the mans filling his own pockets as much as he can for 4 years

As an American I am absolute ashamed and disgusted at what is happening to our standing in the world thanks to DJT. And I’m so sorry at the way this is affecting our allied countries and their citizens, our friends. I’m so sorry you have to fight this fight because so many of us failed to stop the fascist oligarchy takeover at home

I am so very sorry that my country, America. I am so ashamed of our country's leadership.\nThere is NO way your people or ours should have to be going through this.\nOur government is filled with oligarchs that think they can get away with these disgraceful, disgusting actions.\nI am so very sorry. ?\nSincerely, an American who believes in working together.

The majority of American people (all of the decent americans) dont want this either!! We dont want Trump!! I am so ashamed to be American right now!

Please Canada ….. know that most of us do not agree with dictator Trump. As a veteran and American I am truly ashamed of our Putin loving president. Just know the majority of Americans see you as our friend, don’t believe most American’s support this….. I support Canada and what ever they feel they need to do to fight MAGA and our insane president.

As a disabled US Veteran I did NOT vote for this administration. I do not want these tarrifs. And I feel sad for our country. This is not what our country stands for. This isn't our agenda. I feel ashamed and embarrassed by the country's actions in the last month. I'm sorry Canada and Mexico. There are other ways to deal with these issues and tarrifs are not it. People are only now realizing the HUGE mistake they made.

I am a US citizen and I am embarrassed to have such a dumb criminal insecure sick buffoon as president. \nI am also ashamed of how in this country, we have an ill-informed racist uneducated naive selfish electorate, that would put a weak person who can't even compose a short sentence correctly in the highest office in the land.

I respect Canada, I am ashamed to be an American!

This all sucks. I am ashamed to be American. I am afraid my family and I will be homeless. Canadians don’t deserve this either. Disgraceful.

American here. I am ashamed. I hate that we leave good people behind, crap all over every country and our relationships. It’s embarrassing. I support Trump for the border but that’s all I have agreed with. Say goodbye to the USD as the world trade currency. Get ready for isolation guys we are pissing everyone away down stream. To the EU protect Ukraine it’s the majority of our fault and I am sorry but don’t let these clowns win. EU needs an army, 30% maybe 40 of every European country. I would even say 50. Good luck and again sorry we are dumbasses.

What a wonderful leader. I am so ashamed of Trump and half of the American people

As an American I truly am sorry this is happening, I’m ashamed at what this administration is doing, I stand with Canada and all fellow European allies. Just know not all Americans are with this and we stand with you! It’s truly heartbreaking and the ones that didn’t vote for this person unfortunately have to go down with all of this…

Thank god my state won out blue, even if just barely. I would feel so embarrassed living in a red state. Wait nevermind I still am ashamed to be an American for the first time in my entire life, even though I didn't vote for him. Glory to Canada and Slava Ukraini, can't believe I have to remind people of this

Trump is an absolute disgrace. Worst president since James Buchanan. Never in my life have I been more embarrassed for my country. As far as Trump, I didn't vote for that bastard but I'm still embarrassed and ashamed...

I am an American and I stand with Canada. I'm ashamed of the current American government/regime. Never voted for Trump.

Please Canada trade your leader for our leader … you have a true leader with empathy!!! I don’t blame Canada at all fight tRump !!! I am so ashamed this demon was even elected

Wasn't he the one who locked people in their homes and oppressed them? I'm a bit ashamed to lecture others now. Canadians are smart, they've been wanting to get rid of you for a long time now

I am ashamed to be a American. I am so sorry for what Trump is doing.
