As an American, I'm ashamed. And angry. ? This is appalling.

As a US citizen who didn't vote for the president (Trump) we have who is corrupt, self- serving and would have gone to prison if he had not been voted as president. I too am appalled at what he and his minions have done already. \nI understand what Canada has to do to protect itself. I support Canada.I feel for the Canadian people. Trump is a scourge to our country. Prime Minister Trudeau is too kind to Trump of being smart. He is not smart. He is hurting the American people in so many ways and he does not care. \nThank-you Prime Minister Trudeau and God bless the Canadian people and God bless the American people that didn't vote for Trump .

As an American, I'm so proud of Canada and the rest of the World for not standing for the actions of an incompetent, lieing, wanna-be-dictator. God bless you all! Most Americans are just as appalled and angry as you are! Stay strong my friends!

This is so very sad. I sincerely hope the Canadians know that the American people do not want this. Most of us are appalled and desperately want this to end. We never wanted it to happen in the first place.

As an american , I am absolutely appalled and angry at how trump and his people are acting. It's a disgrace , it's an embarrassment , and it's unacceptable. I don't take the red pill every day, so i'm not in the red haze. If you do take that pill every day, this will all affect you too. So good luck with that!! Your god will be gone in four years and then we'll switch everything back to normal!!

As an American in California who had a family cottage in beautiful Ontario for 12 years and was welcomed by so many Canadian friends I am appalled by the American president who is a traitor. I support Canada 100% and will do everything possible to support you in this economic war with this corrupt administration.

To my Canadian brothers and sisters: the majority of US citizens are APPALLED at what the Orange POS is doing. I personally loathe him, and love Canada. I live across the Detroit River from Windsor. ❤❤??????

As an educated American, I am appalled by what is going on in my country. \n\nThere's a literal Nazi coup taking over and most cannot see it. Just know the American people in mass do not agree with Trump, he simply had more money from billionaires to lobby.\n\nMedia is so divided here I doubt you see any of this on Fox

I’m an American in Florida and I didn’t vote for this.I stand with Canada and Ukraine. I am appalled at our government

Just to let you know, a great deal of us don’t want this either. We are trapped in a growing nightmare that is a terrifying orange clown and his psychotic South African sidekick-they are backed by nefarious groups with deep pockets who have been plotting for years and were ready on day 1 when Frump took office. They are vile and evil but very organized. We are with you! ?We are embarrassed, ashamed, and appalled at how the bully in office is treating our allies, and will do everything in our power to make this stop. The state of our world does not need more Putins and Trumps-there are more of us than them. We can overcome if we are prepared to dig our heels in and fight for what we know is right. Whenever I become disheartened I remind myself of the Ukrainian people who have been at war, fighting mostly alone for years, and somehow holding their own. They deserve more. You deserve more. The American people deserve more. Together we will overcome this scourge!?????

I am appalled by the american journalists. The way they both were talking about it is implying that Canada (e.g. we, as I am Canadian) are starting war against them. Justin said it as it is - the war was started by USA. But apparently, if Ukraine could be the aggressor ?(repeated many times over now by the American propagandists), so are we.

Like the vast majority of Americans, may you know that my husband and I feel the same way as you, Prime Minister Trudeau! We are appalled and disgusted with the catastrophic damage that our government is causing to our dear allies, and it grieves us deeply that Putin is being treated with respect while we are literally stabbing our loyal, long-standing allies in the back. I have no words to convey our absolute horror in the face of such disrespectful, disgusting, and dangerous behavior! Our sincere apologies, and may God have mercy on all those souls who have already paid the highest price for these selfish, power - driven decisions!

I hate my own country and my fellow countrymen who got me into this situation it's appalling and I am so f****** sick

The speech was great. Honestly, I am appalled. Be strong, Canadians. Tariffs of 25 percent are soon to be implemented in Europe as well. From Sweden, standing with Canada

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

You go, Trudeau and the rest of the great Canadians! As an American, I am ashamed and appalled at the unholy trio of trump, Vance and musk.

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!

As a u.s citzen I'm appalled and ashamed of my president. The elites got what they want but doesn't mean it will last they talk about exposing corruption but yet are doing some pretty corrupt things why do we only get 2 choices for a president and lesser of two evils why don't we pick someone with morals and that have the best interest for our country and people not just the rich cause I've been struggling before during and after trump maybe we need new congress and stop this dumbass blame game of pointing fingers when dems and rep come together we can be unstoppable why are people so stupid and selfish like we have it easier than most country's last I knew we don't eat cats or dogs so that tells me are economy not as bad as other places just seems like the rich are losing and this will help them stay rich. I don't like Biden or trump but my god does no one notice the segregation that's pushing us apart? we were all for Ukraine before and now plp wanna act differently without facts or knowledge kids family's they are dying cause putin is a prime example of a dictator.... praying and hoping we come together to fix this and show our next generation on what not to do.

I’m appalled!!!!! turn off the electricity in Wisconsin!!! and wherever else you got it!!!!! I stand with Canada

I’m appalled!!!!! what’s wrong with y’all? he’s mimicking Russia..!!!!!! Russia went after Ukraine Trump‘s going after Canada talking about making it into state trying to rob them all their minerals.!!! I can’t believe y’all that gullible you can’t see this. What the fuck 20:13

I stand with Canada, & Ukraine. I'm appalled with the course the U.S.A. is taking. I am a Virginian who is praying for the soul of my country.

Canada has been part of a family with the USA for decades, and to see it all in jeopardy now is appalling. \nNeed I remind our governance here in the US that CANADA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SEVERAL ARTICLES OF THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS (and not because they drafted the resolutions!)?? \nBottom line is Trump is causing a worldwide upheaval that is going to completely realign the power and economies of EVERY nation on earth, and the US is not going to fare well. \nPathetic.

The first CNN correspondent Paula’s toxic reframing of what the Prime Minister just eloquently shared with strength and respect is appalling. Infusing the term ‘anti-Americanism’ is 100% irresponsible journalism and incorrect on all levels. Listen to her manipulative dishonest expose at 10:15…\nThen, same dishonest propaganda from Alayna at 14:45… \n\nThe humans responsible for poor relations globally are people like Paula, Alayna, and everyone else from the far right which are unfortunately employed on purpose by the for propaganda and destructive political agendas. Shame on these unprofessionals and shame on imbecile 47 indefinitely for the deplorable lack of character and diplomacy, and absence of leadership that would otherwise be in place in order to serve the people. Trump is causing harm to his own country on all levels. \n\nTrudeau and Canada continue to be terrific neighbors with the US and care for our American friends, coworkers and families. The morons sitting in the White House attempting to bully long-standing allies globally are the only jerks creating relational fractures internationally. \n\nFrom, ??

Some of us in America are appalled at this behavior, I am so sorry! Trump and his administration are an embarrassment to us as well!

I am an American. The actions taken by Trump is appalling! I stand with our allies!???????

Tell trump like it is...appalling what he is doing to this world

Our allies have good reason to believe we are no longer a beacon of freedom. Coming from a family with ties to both countries since the early 1700’s I’m appalled at the lack of public confrontations with politicians who remain sidelined by fear of reprisals from a corrupt judiciary and President.

As a UK citizen,I am appalled at the voters that put this tyrant who is more aligned with Russia than his allies. Regardless MAGA won't care . They are blind to him. I despise trump

That part of this song “I’m proud to be an American” went cold. Half of us “Americans” voted for this. We were warned and informed on their plans because of our own insecurity on certain issues blinded us on the bigger picture. I stand with Canada and Mexico etc I’m ashamed and appalled but what’s happening something has to be done…. Getting played is an understatement…

Dear Canada: Please know that most of the citizens in US are appalled by all of the horrible things going on. Trump and Musk and all the rest that agree with this horror show are despicable.

South African here.. am disgusted and appalled by Trump and what's going on.. fully supporting Canada and Ukraine. praying for resolution

I am sorry on our behalf. Not all of us wanted Trump. We don’t approve of his behavior or actions. I’m appalled. Horrified.

Talking straight to the American people we don't want to do this to you but your Government chose to do this to YOU.. Wow wake up Americans we are better than this I'm appalled by this Administration it's beyond my comprehension at this point.. I stand with Canadians

Florida here. Please pray for us and please know that there are many of us in this country who are absolutely appalled.

You all and this channel should be feeling an appalling amount of shame and ignorance.

Please. Please. Don’t lump all Americans in with this appalling administration’s actions. This man and his sycophants are acting in their own best interests. Apparently, if our representatives disagree, they fear for their lives. Thank you for standing up to this bully.

Good speech. It expresses in clear ways many of the important points that need to be covered. This event is appalling.

I don’t want it either. You are speaking the truth. I love your country and your people. I’m so sorry this is happening and hope you know that a large portion of our nation is just as appalled as you. It’s not about fentanyl — it’s about bigotry, power and control, isolating the people of this country, putting us in a constant fight/flight state, so the Christian Nationalists can pull the President’s strings and take over this country. Thank you for your sanity in the midst of our chaos. Don’t give up on us. ?

As an American, I fear for the future of the United States. I am appalled that Trump won the Presidency. I am appalled that people voted for him. I stand with Canada.

Insane we did this to our closest ally. Canada has had our back in every major war going back 100+ years and we treat them this way..Truly appalling

We don't want this either, Canada! We are appalled of Trump's actions, and are looking to leave the United States before we are forced to bow down to Putin! We love you, Canada!!!

You mean the Con man and his minnions are doing this - they do no represent what America stands for. Our country is being viciously violated and our goverment structure is being toppled and raped by those in power in D.C. We are under seige. Please know that the majority of our citizens are as appalled as the rest of the world.

I'm an American. I am appalled by Trump's actions. I STAND WITH CANADA, NOT WITH DICTATORS.

I’m Canadian and this is appalling! The law needs to be enforced! Trudeau will be gone soon.

I'm Australian. This is absolutely appalling. What Biden, Harris did to your country is deplorable. If anyone has seen our show here Border Security Australia, as soon as you land at the airport, they have spotted potential individuals who have an intention to work without a working visa. As soon as that is determined, they are put back on the next flight to their country of origin. Biden/Harris destroyed the U.S, in every aspect. We are all totally perplexed how this was allowed to happen. I mean, buses??? To transport illegal migrants to hotels??? No idiot country does that. Truly unbelievable. Biden would have to be the WORST President Americans had

Appalling behaviour.

American is 178th in the world for 'Infant Mortality'. Do you know this appalling fact? This tells me that Women can not access affordable Healthcare during pregnancy. And nothing has been done about it in decades. For a supposedly democratic society, not the political party, this is tantamount to genocide for the poorest American women and babies. And one in eight pregnancies have life threatening complications,. As Abortion has been banned in 38 States, with the fall of 'Wade and Roe' women are dieing, today in the States for a lack of proper healthcare. Trump has 'removing Birth Control' for all American women as the third item on Project 2025. This will build his Standing Army in 18 years, of unaffordable children, as indoctrinated disposable Soldiers or will make one of his Oligark Pals very wealthy, due to the lucrative Adoption business in America.. He is also, with his flurry of illegal Presidential Orders, skipping ratification by Congress, is bringing in a 'Family Vote' by the husband, for every woman who took her husband name at marriage,, 85% of women in America, will effectively be instantly disenfranchised. Keep the little woman home and pregnant, effectively unable to start businesses or get involved in politics. Now they want to 'check on' the Gold in Fort Knox. Can you imagine what will happen to that gold when the man with gold faucets in his home lays eyes on it? Just asking. Now that he has granted his wealthy friends $ 3.5 Trillion in tax breaks, in the first 3 weeks in office. Be aware of the goings on in the Oval Office. He has already stifled the Press. Hitler's methods of destroying a formerly democratic society. He is doing All these methods, and quickly. Look up 'Ask an AI how would you destroy America'... It is chilling.

????I couldn’t resist answering this. , married an American , moved and lived there for 9 years, ran for the border with wings on my feet , appalled at the guns. , school shootings and everyone packing a gun,, , prejudice against anyone of colour ,,lack off decent healthcare, so uneducated about the rest of the world , , and thinking they were better than any other country. ,, how wrong they are ,, why we NEVER WANT TO BE A 51 st STATE,, SO PERISH THE THOUGHT AMERICANS…WE LOVE OUR COUNTRY , NOT PRFECT BUT,,,,,BETTER THAN THE USA. ,,,THE TRUTH ??????❤️❤️❤️❤️?

Appalling that they are treated like terrorists. Best stay if you can in your own country rather than be treated like that. USA does not deserve any immigration at all.

I never thought I'd see a time when criminals are in shackles....i'm appalled!
