Canadian here. ??\nTrump forgot 9/11. When American airspace were all closed. We, Canada hosted thousands of crew and passengers with open arms. ❤ We are America’s friend, neighbour and closest ally. This hurts so deep. Please someone make this madness stop. How can one source of evil do so much harm and danger to all of humanity. At home in the US and abroad. His evil policies is affecting lives globally in every way - wars, disease, economic meltdown. World is f..king upside down! To all those who still live and support Trump. Wake the f..k up from your Trump Koolaid Coma before we all meet The End.

I am American independent voter who vote against Treasonous Trump this past election of 2024 in favor of Kamala Harris. While many of my fellow Americans voted for Trump many others like me did not. Now so many good and event Americans are going to suffer because of many Maga or Maga supporting Americans who foolishly chose to support Trump and his lies. Any pain and suffering Anti Trump supporting Americans, along international American Allies and theuir people, suffer will be squarely on the shoulders of Maga and Maga supporting Americans.\n\nHow Trumps first term wasn’t a wake up call and eye opener to how terrible he was and is as president is beyond me. He, treasonous Trump, did nothing to help our economy which essentially stalled or went into generally neutral state with essentially no growth positively or negatively, followed by a near complete nose dive due to Treasonous Trump’s poor handling and equally poor response to the Covid-!9 Pandemic. How people could seemed to forget that Treasonous Trump, not Joe Biden, was responsible for the current sate of things following the pandemic is beyond me. \n\nMaga and Maga supporting Americans have been conned again by Treasonous Trump, who not only failed to properly respond to the Covid pandemic but also incited and or encouraged many of Maga supporters to essentially attack the US Capitol in hopes of stopping Joe Biden’s Presidential Certification. Those in the Inter national world are not alone in their condemnation of the disgrace and embarrassment that sis current US President Trump. True Americans who believe in our constitution and rule of law as decreed by the founding fathers of our nation must unfortunately bare part of the shame Maga America has brought upon our country as a whole.Truly good and decent Americans must bare the shame of now living in a country that much International world now no longer trusts and has lost respect for. For all the hateful Maga thinking and or supporting Americans there are as many truly good non maga Americans who want more peaceful relations with allies in the international world. Sadly because of Trump and his hate many must now unjustly suffer .

IMPEACH TRUMP now! He is going to bankrupt our country! Don't let him do that! Wake up Americans!

The US isn't launching a trade war against anyone. We are closing up shop and are getting ready to take care of our own. There is a massive difference. We cannot be expected to continue supporting other countries economies and defense obligations, when we have 2 generations of working class citizens unable to afford a home or have children. We have entire countries we could fill with the homeless and incarcerated, and veterans who see little to no positive treatment or respect within the job market. Things are already very very bad here in the states. I don't think many Americans realize how bad the economy is. Tariffs will force US companies to reduce the outsourcing of jobs, and force other countries who are over-reliant on trade from the States, to cultivate their own self-sufficiency. This may seem hypocritical when it comes to China, but that isn't a problem you can solve overnight. \n\nTo make it clear, Americans are going to suffer in the wake of this tariff decision, but that is the price we pay to force ourselves to change. We have made ourselves into a very weak country because of overreliance on other countries trade, and other countries overreliance on our intelligence, infrastructure, medical advancements, technological advancements, and defense capabilities. The american consumer and taxpayer front the bills for all of this, and they are suffering. This isn't a war on the rest of the world. It us telling everyone else that we can no longer be relied upon because we are weak. \n\nI didnt' even vote Trump the first two times he ran. But things have now gotten so bad that I was forced into voting for him this time. Why? Because he's a bull in a china shop. I expect him to tear every damn thing apart he can within our government. I want everything destroyed so it can be rebuilt by people who aren't complacent.

Everyone knew that Trump election meant the end of american supremacy in the world. His insanity was there all the time. The whole world saw that comming. Everyone but americans saw. Now you have a foreign billionaire imploding your democracy from within to install a fascist experiment. When you wake up from this nightmare, the world order will have changed and America will be a second-rate country.

When will the American government, people wake up. This Orange Tyrant is going to kill us as a nation!!!!!!!!!

The insane megalomania driven felon as a self made serial lying King and insane draft dodging cowardly tyrant is orchestrating a criminal coup in Washington with his insane butt licking heritage 2025 ignorant human monsters as hand selected men defending his vices. Donald Trump and his criminal Vice President screamed, and bullied and demanded the complete acknowledgment of their greatness wanting peace accusing president Zelensky of starting world war III like high school imbeciles and bullies calling themselves diplomatic. \n\n\nThe truth is you and your criminal activities on the world stage and supporting genocide and American and Russian plunder, from an insane felon and felonious dishonest vice president in Washington orchestrating a coup and voting in the United Nations with Russia and North Korea are the most insane leaders in the Western world bring the world closer to world war III. You insane coup attempting cowards spouting Russian propaganda are certifiably insane MAGA criminals, \n\n\nIT is you morons destroying your own nation with an insane unstable dangerous serial lying not sane King.orchestrating a Texas Chainsaw massacre of workers lives. Orchestrating an insane heartless federal purge. A purge that has nothing to do with merit or their quality of work. You insane egregiously hate flled monsters, must wake up in the morning like insane mental patients, wondering how many lives you can destroy today tomorrow and in the future? You are the heartless insane sub human swamp monsters, not the workers.and it is you marching to world war III not president Zelensky.

Reassuring to see so many country leaders talk so professionally in the wake of the Clown leader of the Circus in the US, have so much respect for Trudeau and the people of Canada, I feel so sorry for the American people your leader is an embarrassment to you and the world, regards from Down Under??

Wake up Americans. Trump is a RUSSIAN ASSET operating from the seat of US power. He is sabotaging America for personal gain of the most ridiculous kinds.

As a UK citizen living in Canada, I’ve seen how much the U.S. has damaged its relationship with Canada, and I don’t think things will ever be the same. I don’t even blame Trump—I blame the American people for electing a corrupt criminal.\n\nThe reality is, Americans are going to feel the consequences far more than Canadians. You’re the only NATO country without universal healthcare, your education system ranks among the worst in the developed world, worker protections are almost nonexistent, social security is severely lacking, and now, thanks to your election choice, you’ll be paying at least 25% more for groceries under a leader who’s steering the country toward authoritarianism.\n\nIt’s embarrassing. The world no longer revolves around America, and people are tired of its self-centered, individualistic mindset. It’s time to wake up.

Ashamed to be an American! I wake up , not believing Donnie was allowed to have power again. Is this a test of ones convictions?

wow al the delusional people on here amazing .Trump wants the tariffs to pay so americans dont have to pay taxes thats smart we should do the same and has everyone forgot that tirdeau doesnt like free speech .he is on the epstein list and his sister is tied to the picktin farm .and the war on drugs is a joke .it is worse than ever. proof is in the pudding people .trudeau is the enemy just like biden and all those like him wake up canadians .tirdeau funds hamas they are terrorists and war mongers .how terrible Trump wants world peace so does anyone with half a brain.im with trump. he is doing what many should have long ago .we need Trump here too

### **Americans, Wake Up Before It’s Too Late!** \n \nDo you realize what’s happening? **Donald Trump is pushing the world toward World War III.** This is not a conspiracy, this is not speculation—this is reality. A man who **wears two diapers and has little time left to live** doesn’t care what happens after he’s gone. He has no vision for the future, because in his mind, **there is no future.** \n \nThis is just the beginning. **If you think things are bad now, imagine what’s coming next.** Trump and his billionaire allies, including **Elon Musk**, are playing a dangerous game, one that could **end civilization as we know it.** These are not leaders—they are reckless, power-hungry individuals with no regard for the world that you and your children will inherit. \n \n? **Trump must be impeached before he takes us all down with him!** \n? **Musk must be held accountable before his reckless ambitions destroy what’s left of our planet!** \n \nThis is not about politics. This is about survival. **The future of humanity depends on our ability to stop them now!**

American here impressed by Canada's response! I didn't vote for the monster in the oval office. I wish our country would wake tf up.

Crazy to see how relations have broken down between our two countries and sad for all my great American friends and thanks for your support but anyone with half a mind could see this coming. So many Americans, even republican voters, now waking up to the cold reality of a treasonous, mad president allied to a Russian mad man, isolating the US from the rest of the world. He was basically elected to repaire the economy. Ha! Nice going you orange freak. The stock market is crashing like a Trump casino. You bankrupt two casinos and now you are doing the same to America. Oh! and I hope you're listening to Trudeau's speech, this is what a real leader sounds like. CANADA STRONG AND FREE!!!

When will the Western leaders wake up, they still talk about friends. Trump is not a friend. Trump looks up to Dictator and it is clearly his big dream to make the US the same type of regime, he does nothing but tell the less intelligent Americans that Putin etc. are not the bad guys, they need to get used to the idea that that type of regime is a good thing. So it is easier to try to maintain power

We need the help from our friends to speak the Truth, clear and loud. Thank you PM Trudeau. The only winner here is Putin. He gets to pit our Allies against us while destroying Russa's biggest adversary (or we were). This is insane, idiotic and hopefully my fellow Americans will wake up and turn this around before it takes hold. Congress needs to do their job and stop the Executive Orders we are not an authoritarian nation (yet). Stand with Mexico, Canada, Ukrain and the rest of the Free Democratic world.

Trump must be working for Russia to ruin America and it's Allies. Wake up Americans and kick him out before it's too late. Australia is on your side Canada. We can supply any products you need and no tarrifs

Americans, wake up, guys! What are you doing??

Justin push back i say that as an american. no will wake up until we hit absolutely rock bottom.

Trumps own words, “Vote for me, you will never have to vote again!” \nThis one is showing up on several pages. Make up your own mind. \nThere is something rancid in America, a slow, creeping rot that smells like cold McDonald’s fries, aerosol hairspray, and the unmistakable musk of a country too sedated to recognize its own hostage situation. For years, the idea that Donald Trump was compromised by Russia was dismissed as paranoid fantasy—just another wild-eyed conspiracy theory, another overblown headline in the endless saga of American political dysfunction. \nBut now, two former Soviet intelligence officers—Alnur Mussayev and Yuri Shvets—are saying it outright: Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987, groomed as an asset, and remains under Russian control to this day. \nAnd the worst part? He’s already back in the White House. \nThat’s right, America. You did it. You walked face-first into the banana peel of history, slipped, and fell straight into the arms of Vladimir Putin. Trump was kicked out in 2020, spent four years plotting his comeback, and now he’s returned, like a bloated, orange cockroach that just won’t die. The Kremlin’s favorite stooge is running the country again, and this time, he knows exactly how to stay in power. \nIf you think this is just another round of the Trump Show, you’re not paying attention. This isn’t politics anymore. This is treason. This is foreign subversion. This is a God forsaken coup in slow motion. \nLet’s break it down, nice and simple. \nAlnur Mussayev isn’t some Twitter conspiracy theorist with a tinfoil hat and a podcast. He’s the former head of Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee, which means he knows exactly how Russian intelligence works—because he was part of the system. And what he’s saying should make every American’s blood run cold. \nAccording to Mussayev, Trump was identified, recruited, and compromised by the KGB in 1987 during his first trip to Moscow. They saw him for what he was: a narcissistic, greedy, attention-starved buffoon who could be easily manipulated. The KGB flattered him, promised him business deals, and planted the seeds of political ambition in his empty little head. And from that moment on, he was their man. \nBut Mussayev isn’t alone. Former KGB major Yuri Shvets said the exact same thing in 2021: Trump was cultivated by Soviet intelligence because he was an easy mark—too stupid to realize he was being played, too egotistical to care. They saw him as a useful idiot—a man who could one day be nudged into power, a walking, talking Trojan Horse for Russian interests. \nAnd now? The plan has worked. Trump spent four years in office weakening America from within, got booted out, and now he’s back for round two. \nIf you had told the American public in 1962 that a Soviet-backed asset would one day sit in the White House, they would have burned Washington to the ground before letting it happen. But today? Nobody seems to care. \nThe media treats this like just another wacky subplot in the never-ending Trump reality show. Congress is too busy fighting over meaningless culture war nonsense to do anything about it. And the American public? Exhausted. Numb. Checked out. Years of scandals—Russia collusion, Ukraine blackmail, classified documents, tax fraud, sexual assault, an attempted coup—have fried the country’s brain like an overcooked steak at Mar-a-Lago. \nTrump has done the impossible. He has committed so many crimes, so openly, so brazenly, that none of them matter anymore. \nAnd now, with Mussayev’s revelation that Trump is an active foreign asset, we have finally reached the point where the biggest political scandal in American history is met with a collective shrug. \nThis is how democracy dies—not with a bang, but with a goddamn eye-roll. \nThis is the part where the skeptics start clutching their pearls. “Oh, come on,” they say. “If Trump were really a Russian asset, wouldn’t there be more proof?” \nTo which I say: Are you blind, or just willfully stupid? \nLet’s go through the evidence, shall we? \nTrump spent his entire first term doing exactly what Russia wanted. He attacked NATO, calling it “obsolete” and threatening to pull the U.S. out. He tried to blackmail Ukraine into manufacturing dirt on Joe Biden, because weakening Ukraine helps one man and one man only: Vladimir Putin. He pulled U.S. troops out of Syria, handing power over to Russian forces. He picked fights with Canada and Europe while cozying up to dictators. \nEven now, in his second term, he is more openly pro-Putin than ever. He has made it clear that he will not protect NATO allies from Russian aggression. He is actively dismantling America’s alliances, just as Russia planned. And while Americans scream at each other over whether Target should sell rainbow t-shirts, Trump is quietly selling the country to the Kremlin. \nAt some point, you have to stop calling it a coincidence and start calling it what it is: treason. \nThe United States is running out of time. If Trump serves out this term without being removed, America as a functioning democracy is finished. \nThe media needs to wake up. Enough with the “Trump fatigue” excuse. This is not just another scandal—this is the single greatest infiltration of American power in history. Journalists need to dig into Mussayev’s claims, demand declassification of intelligence files, and treat this like the national emergency that it is. \nCongress needs to subpoena Mussayev immediately. His testimony must be public, and every document he has should be reviewed. If there is proof that Trump has been compromised since the 1980s, the American people need to know. \nThe Justice Department needs to stop pretending that Trump is just another politician. If there is evidence that the sitting president of the United States is working in Russia’s interests, he must be removed from office and prosecuted for espionage. \nAnd the American public? You have one last chance. This is not about Republican vs. Democrat. This is not about taxes, gas prices, or whatever nonsense outrage is dominating the news today. This is about whether the United States remains a sovereign nation, or if we spend the rest of the century as a Russian client state with a golf course. \nThe sheer volume of Trump's corruption, the blatant nature of his crimes, the mountain of evidence that should have ended his political career a hundred times over—none of it mattered. He survived it all, not because he was innocent, but because he drowned the country in so much scandal that nothing stuck. \nBut this time, it’s different. If Mussayev and Shvets are right, this isn’t just another chapter in the endless Trump circus. This is the culmination of a decades-long Russian intelligence operation to install an asset in the White House. \nThere is no coming back from this. If America lets Trump serve out this term without removing him, then the United States as a democratic republic is finished. The country won’t collapse overnight. There won’t be tanks in the streets. Instead, the destruction of democracy will happen in slow motion—buried under lawsuits, propaganda, and corruption so blatant that people stop caring. \nIf America lets this happen—if Trump is allowed to complete his mission—then Putin wins. The West crumbles. And the people who could have stopped it will look back, years from now, and wonder how they let it happen. \nGood night, and good luck. Because if people don’t wake up, America is going to sleepwalk straight into its own funeral.

When will the american people wake up and stop their president and vice president taking their country down? The world can't believe how americans now lack the courage to do anything and defend their own values against a dictatorial president.

American people have to wake up, that the government is torturing them silently to make everything expensive for illegally attacking other countries from their own citizens taxpayers money.

More people need to speak up like mister Trudeau here. American government is not only screwing others, but also their own people. I do not believe that Americans understand how much disrespect they have gain. It is time that Americans start to wake up and speak up. Canada, we respect you big time.

It's ironic that America declared independence from a mentally ill English King, and now Americans have put a mentally ill King in the White House. Americans are sooo stupid as a nation. Why? Because they voted in this mentally ill king. \nRIP America. \nTRUMP IS MENTALLY ILL. American needs to get out of its denial about Trump's mental state! Wake up you dumb bozos! Wake up! .

As a Liberal and someone who votes Democrat, Canada I am so sorry. Please know that this is NOT what we voted for, and NOT what we want. Fully Half of Americans know that trump IS SO WRONG AND INCREDIBLY EVIL, we're just waiting for the other half of America to wake the ₣⨆¢₭ UP. But they are a ₷₸⨆₽|₫ lot and we don't know how long it will take. We are also waiting for the rest of LAZY Americans to get to the POLLS AND VOTE in the next election.

There is only one way to end this madness. Trump has got to go. Hopefully the American congress will wake up and do their job.

Only the americans can stop those 2 clown trump/vance by kicking them out of the white very white house ! WAKE UP USA THOSE GUY ARE FOOLING YOU ! ALL THEY CARE IS MAKING MONEY ON YOUR BACK

Trump is a disaster for the U.S., for Canada, Ukraine and almost everyone else...except maybe Russia, China and Belarus. \nI, as an American, will buy anything I can that is made in Canada.\n\nMy fellow Americans: take not of how an intelligent, well informed, honest leader sounds like on the world stage. Compare this to how Trump sounds. Let's wake up.

The amount of fentanyl coming into Canada from the US is 1000 times the amount coming into the US from Canada. When will Americans wake up to this insanity?

Love thy neighbor...WAKE UP, Christian Americans

Canada ?? was there for America ?? at 9/11! While the Saudi Arabian ?? Obama Bin Laden planned & executed it, the Russians cheered it! (Alleged) Russian asset Krasnodar lied ? that he was there! Krasnodar as USA ?? president is doing what he can as fast as he can TO HURT AMERICA ?? & AMERICANS ??. It’s almost as if you, Krasnodar (Donald), are doing Russia’s bidding???? Americans need to wake up and decide, who are you?

I'm an American, and I understand and support you Mr. Trudeau! It's just awful living here right now and waking up everyday to see and hear what awful things trump, vance, and musk are doing next!?

Trump is trying to make Americans believe that he is a saviour cooking a delicious meal for Americans. He is a wolf under the skin of sheep. People will wake up until it's too late

Donald .. you’re an ***hole !!! When will Americans wake up ? Trump’s quest for “America First” .. will become “America Only”. I would hate to be working on Donald’s security team ✨

Donald Trump knows that his trade war with Canada, Mexico and China will damage America’s economy. That is why he is doing it. He is purposely hurting the American economy in order to help Putin. How is that every American can’t see that Trump is a Russian asset? He is doing everything that he can to unstable the American government. The writing is on the wall America. Wake up!

trump is a traitor! Hopefully Americans will wake up before it’s too late!
