This is exactly what Trump wants to destroy America!!!! to bring on techtocracy or maybe just to make his allies in Russia happy.. It's either that or he is the dumbest president in American history... I've never understood why anybody thought that he gave a damn about anybody but himself or was capable of doing anything that would benefit the American people. But here we are.. there was voter suppression at the very least. It's hard to know what to believe about all that. But I do know many people regardless voted for him. 30% did not vote. Which I do understand. As there is a genocide happening.. but at this point, I have to believe that even amongst the majority of his supporters he is not supported by the majority, major majority of the United States. The republican Congress has shown their true colors of being anti-constitutional . But they are redeemable. Do the right thing if you are in government if you have any power at all, stand up. And for the rest of us, Americans including the ones that voted for Trump let your voices be heard. Before we become something similar to Russia. And I go to prison for this comment.

As an American expat living in Mexico . I feel so outraged that the sitting US president has decided to destroy our friendship Canada . My feeling of shame has fallen off the chart in being an American under the dictator we seem to be under now . Please forgive us for the actions of the orange Mob Boss .

I can't make sense of the way that Trump and his lapdogs are acting. Trump is not my president and he doesn't speak for me. This is going to kill our friendships and Trump would rather be friends with Putin than Canada and Ukraine. I am so ashamed of these actions. Please Canada stop buying all American products and double the taxes. Don't put 25 percent put 50 percent on any of our products. Make Trump pay for his stupidity.

Exactly Me Treadaeux Exactly Mr Trudeau! He who shall not be named is not my president. Nothing he is implementing will hurt his wallet!! It will only harm those of us who are working class! I’m sorry for this, but I did Not vote for him. I am utterly shocked at my fellow Americans who voted for him. If I had the resources I would be looking for another country to call home!

And the Crap Show begins.. The American People will suffer heavily from the influence of other countries which will weaken America's economy. Thanks MAGA votes, who believe your current President in the matter of less than 50 days in office America is doing marvelous (the best it has ever been and the best you have ever seen). Guess Kamala wasn't lying after all..

I'm an American and I do NOT WANT this. But we have a President who doesn't give one sh** about what the majority of Americans want and need. IT'S ALL ABOUT HIM.

Trudeau sounds like he’s threatening Americans and US President.

Dear Canada thank you for the kind words and speaking up for behalf not only on your country but on behalf of all of suffering with children at the cost of this high jacking of the govt, american schools are closing in our cities to enrich doge and pocket american dollars meanwhile the president is golfing and spitting his usual KKK non sense

I wish we had a president like him. Instead of the American hating idiot we have. Our election was a scam.

I stand with Canada. Many Americans like myself are disgusted and appalled by our president.

Great, unambiguous words by the Canadian president! But one of his remarks stood out: he said that the tyrants want to divide us. He is correct, of course. But the implications are profound! This means that Trudeau himself is measuring his words and deliberately using diplomatic language. He even says that Trump is “intelligent”, which only plays into the imbecile’s unfortunate NPD psychology! The unwillingness to stand strong against American tyranny is harming democracy worldwide! Force Trump to declare a side! And make him choose Putin or democracy NOW!! If you fail to do that, you are taking the path of accommodation, and if Trump is really a tyrant (which he surely is, because of MANY evidences!!), democratic countries weaken their position by not standing strong NOW. If Europe and Canada and Mexico ban Tesla imports and place 50% tariffs on tens of billions of dollars of American products, what would happen? Are these countries AFRAID of the United States? This is not the time for fear! This is the time for courage! Boycott!!!

Tariffs on Canada would likely reduce real gross domestic product to zero in 2025 if implemented beyond a year and lead to a 2% contraction in 2026 with a peak unemployment rate of more than 8%. Trump told Canada if you did TWO THINGS, there would be no tariffs on Canada. One, stop illegal immigrants from pouring into the USA from Canada. Two, stop illegal drugs from coming into the USA from Canada. Did Trudeau comply with President Trump's request? If so, there must be a lack of communication to verify what has transpired. If not, then Trump imposed tariffs for lack of compliance. Now, if Canada has already complied yet the Trump admin imposed tariffs anyway, then that is a slap in the face to our neighbors to the north and the American people should be outraged and let Trump know it.

So embarrassed to be an American! I didn’t vote for Trump! I knew his Presidency AGAIN ….. would be a shit show! So sorry for Canada! Retired! Can’t afford food now! Six months from now everything will be unaffordable! Thank the maga idiots for voting him in! Personally I think he and Elon have rigged it!

I'm ashamed to be a american under trump presidency

I’m an American and am with Canada and Ukraine and ashamed of the actions of our President and all those in his administration who are enabling and supporting his horrid actions. Republican Congress…WHERE IS YOUR SPINE????

CNN celebrating an outgoing Prime Minister of a foreign county to give a “blistering speech” against the new American president, while when he does that, they fall apart in disbelieve and outrage!\n\nWhat else is “NEWs”?\n\nRename CNN Candian Network News, maybe. \n\nI used to watch CNN daily, now it’s just a turn-off. Literally. \n\nTrudeau has been a disaster for Canada and Canadians… and he’s being chased “out of town”, but if he attacs the US or even better Pres. Trump, he’s oh so cool and fashionable. \nBut is he?\nHe helped Trump get elected, just like the woke left and CNN. \n\nPad yourself on your shoulders, it wasn’t easy but you did it, well with the help of the rest of the left media. \n\nThanks!

I called the Canadian embassy in Washington DC this morning. I told them as an American citizen. It saddens me and breaks my heart that we are treating our allies with such disrespect. I do not stand with the United States government and their treatment of our allies. I also called the Mexican embassy and told them the same thing. I didn’t announce Trump in his cabinet and what they’re doing to our economy that we have worked so hard to resurrect again after he was president last time. I, urge every person who does not agree with what is going on to call the Canadian and the Mexican embassies and just let them know that we stand in solidarity with them and against our government here!

As an American and human being, I’m beyond embarrassed and disappointed, but not surprised. I apologize for our buffoon “president”. \n❤️ I stand with Canada ?? and Ukraine ??❤

As a none american, it's mind-boggling how ignorant and stupid the american people who voted for wannabe dictator Trump as your president.

From Australia..we support you Mr Trudeau against the worst President,uneducated Americans put into office.

? Californian here. Thank you, PM Trudeau, for your leadership and for speaking with respect and clear intentions to rebut what you were forced into. Listening to you speak makes things feel a little less scary. To hear another world leader speak with such normality, is reassuring that democracy still exists. The last decade has been hell on Americans. Some of us have been standing up, speaking up and never giving up for a decade now. Wee are tired but we can't stop. Thank you for being a sane voice during this insane nightmare. And thank you for embracing President Zelenskyy. He needed that multileader summit embrace after what Trump did to him ?????

As an anxious autistic British American I will always stand with my fellow Canadian friends this is beyond diabolical I’m so disgusted for the people that voted for this convicted felon president ??‍♀️

Our rich president has nothing in common with hard working Americans. Trump is so embarrassing.

I'm so embarrassed to be American. I'm angry at the millions who were dumb enough to vote even one time for a FOOLISH con man who's compromised by Russia and can't even read. I'm extremely proud of Canada and Trudeau. I hope somehow the president of the US and his echo chamber are removed from office. We'll never make it 4 years.

I’m a US citizen who is appalled that Trump is our president.\n\nTrump is doing great harm to the US.\n\nTrump’s street-thug bullying tactics are egregiously inappropriate for the office of the President of the United States. \n\nTrump’s endorsement of a murderous Russian dictator does not reflect American values, and does not represent our interests. \n\nTurning against our allies does NOT benefit the US. \n\nTo Canada citizens: I hope you can see from the comments that most US citizens wish to be good neighbors!

I despise my stupid American President.

It’s a sad times our government are only worried about themselves . They are able to ruin the country and do all of these because the United states is filled with hatred .The people of the United States somehow think that Our president working closely with our enemy ( Russia ) Is some type of alliance with working towards segregation toward other Americans they feel are less superior to other Americans . Some sort of race war or segregation. How far will we as Americans let this go on without stepping up.\nOr is this what the American really want.\nWill we stand up to this nonsense and hatred?

American people do not have no saying in anything President Trump is blocking everything from us. Elon Musk is blocking everything from us so we do not have a saying or anything. We don’t even know what to do now.

Ukrainians got comic who became a President, American got president who became a clown (White House is a circus now)

Shut up baby girl world need to be free from such tumors like you and i support president trump he know what he is doing Americans are very blessed people that they have got president like Donald trump and respective administration

As an American, i oppose our crazy president. I hope Trump gets removed from office by legislator and gets impeached fast

As an American I do not stand for how our president is leading our country and I am even more embarrassed after seeing a true leader such as Trudeau!

The U.S. is no longer the sugar daddy of the world why don’t you understand! The disrespect to President Trump is ridiculous from this woke socialist idiot! This is about equality and showing the respect of the country that drives your economy and protects your borders! Trudeau like the American left has swore to the woke religion, and the destruction it has inflicted on our country especially the last four years is over! Start showing respect to your closest ally or find yourself the 51st state if you keep FAFO! MAGA/MURICA!❤

@CNN @Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, not my government, but all Americans and our allies, as well. It is reckless, and the current government is a dictatorship. They were all lies. Many of us knew that, others drank the Koolaid. I am sorry. I stand with our allies, especially @President Zelenskyy & all of Ukraine!

What is wrong with the American people here disrespecting America by supporting a country who shows nothing but disrespect and contempt to the American people and out Representatives? What is wrong with President Trump wanting things to be fair. Canada has charged the US a 25% tariff for years and that's acceptable I think not. They deserve a 25% tariff from America. Why do some Americans think it's acceptable to give America's hardworking tax dollars away to countries who show nothing but disrespect to United States what is wrong with you guys? America doesn't need to be everybody else's piggy bank we have our own people our own states to take care of own states to take care of.

As an American, I am disgusted to have him as my president. Puck Futin, tuck Frump.

American here. I am profoundly embarrassed for my country. Trump had already proven himself to be the worst president this country has ever had, yet 75 million Americans were still stupid enough to vote for him AGAIN! Trump should be rotting in prison right now.

I’m embarrassed to be an American. I have no president! There is a dictator in action now and he will destroy our country. Mental illness is obvious!

yon dont have right to advise us as a american citizens here @ ?? america we are american people who choose president trump he’s not forcing you dont sending your product in america without tax that they called it tariffs !! ??? canada president no free @ all !!

The world knew this was coming and did nothing to protect their citizens and businesses from any of this. Everyone is retaliating and fist waving American citizens at the bad time we will have as a result. You can miss me with the fear mongering. Everyone is trying to take advantage of the U.S citizen and using the president as an excuse.

I am embarrassed as an American. Trump and his cronies have falsely promised their constituents that he is for the people. NO he never was FOR the people, he is for himself. Our ignorant Americans believed his BS and now they will suffer for their stupidity. President Trudeau you are a gentleman and a brilliant human being. I wish I could vote you back in. Trump has to be taken down.

Big support from Finland. We have nothing against American people, but your president has gone mad. He's not just abandoning his old allies, he's attacking them.

Thankyou Justin Trudeau for speaking the truth in a respectful way. Something the American president and his administration and the Republican party does not do.

Ambassador Joe Kennedy wanted to appease A. Hitler\n\nWhen that news got back to\nA REAL President of the United States within A few hours Joe Kennedy was told to pack up the kids you're relieved as Ambassador.\n\nThis new CEO of the Federal Government should be impeached immediately for Treason, Dereliction of Duty, and putting every American man, woman, & child in harms way. \n\nThis crook Rapist Tax Fraud\nshould be relieved of Duty as soon as possible he's obviously gone way to far.

Canada, Mexico, Germany and other countries who are getting caught up in the orange turd of a president's mess. He's not my president and just so you know I've never voted for him. I'm so embarrassed to be an American right now... I promise 50% of U.S voters are idiots the other half of us understand economics, the importance of allies and we're generally nice/smart people. #trumpsucks

I wish Trudeau was our president. I hate what is happening in the U.S. because of Trump and his minions. Putin must be gleeful at the destruction of the U.S. and all of the favors that Trump has given to him. The American people do not want this horror show that Trump and Musk has orchestrated. The Trump cult is bringing the downfall of America in the world. We are no longer the 'home of the free and the brave', and Trump is no longer the 'leader of the free world'. America will diminish and become a small, petty, stupid, country. I am glad for Trudeau, and Micron, and the UK and all of the democratic countries and people. I feel horrible for what is happening to Ukraine because of Trump. Mr. Trudeau, you are a fine and wonderful person and head of your country. I wish that you could help us out of this madness. :(

The truth is this, A travesty by an ego manic who has allegiance to a murdering dictator. He is a weak person and not a true American stateman let alone president.

As an American, we didn't want this either. The Americans who voted for Trump didn't want to believe his true agenda and we are all paying the price for it. Siding with Putin is beyond scary. Our own President is a traitor and makes zero effort to hide it. We are in deep trouble

From America, the world really acts like we owe them something.\n\nWe get called imperialists when we help, cowards and weaklings when we don’t, we get reprimanded and shit on about how we should get our nose out of everyone’s business. The rest of the world seems to have a hate boner for the US yet can’t even be bothered to figure out how to not start new world wars, can’t even be bothered to take in and handle their own refugees, can’t even be bothered to help your own people.\n\nWe The People are growing real tired of our treatment on the world stage. Furthermore, we have our own issues. We have to focus on our own country and people, because as it stands many of us are struggling to figure out how to pay rent without picking up 2nd jobs or side hussle’s. Please understand this, we voted for Donald Trump. Flaws and all. He didn’t cheat or steal his way in. He isn’t a threat to democracy, or the stability of Europe. He’s and American president for America and if any non Americans wanna take issue with that. Then come get your citizenship and vote for it, but until then, stop crying about what America is doing and focus on your own country. Who knows, if you do your own country might actually be notable enough for you to understand my frustrations :)

As an American, trump can't even wipe President Trudeau ?! As an American I stand ONLY with Canada!
