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.

There are a lot of people here in America that absolutely can't stand Trump. That didn't vote for him and wish that what is going on in America is just a nightmare. \nPeople are protesting , wishing more politicians would stand up to Trump and the government he is creating. \nHow can people be so blind to his ways. I don't hold Canada or any other nation raising the tariffs. Im beside myself on the way my country is going.

Please say Trump, not all of America is with him ,he is our worst nightmare. I am so sorry

Greetings from California! I stand with all of our friends in Canada, Mexico and China! I did not vote for this catastrophe but am definitely feeling the pain of these horrendous tariffs. My heart is with our friends up North and I hope you understand that many of us here in the US did not want this. We are plagued with a complete nut case for a President who was given the ultimate power of house and Senate majority plus the Supreme Court so there is no fix for the nightmare in the near future. All I can say is I am sorry for what we all have to endure now.

THE WHOLE WORLD NEED TO HELP USA PEOPLE TO END THIS NIGHTMARE. ??????WE DON’T HAVE LAW, SUPREME COURT, CONGRESS, SENATE ,JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, HITLER WAS A GERMANY DICTATOR IN ONLY 6 MONTHS.HELP PLEASE.?

First step: Shame Ukraine and its allies, second step: Slap tariffs on your neighbors, friends & allies and most important trading partners, third step: Pardon Russia / Putin and buy Russian oil & minerals & rare earths - my worst nightmares come true...

I apologize to Canada for the unnecessary provocation to a long time friend and neighbor. As an American, I am horrified . May we be free of this nightmare soon

As an American, I am scared and ashamed at the same time. This is a nightmare. Trump is insane.

Trump, Vance, and Elon are greedy sharks who would sell their own family for enough profit. It is the downfall of the USA. Stand up and fight for your rights ??.\nIt's an election fraud. You've been lied to by Trump every day and blinded by his pseudo-charismatic appeal and now you're waking up in a nightmare.

From Gotham City: WAR, WAR, WAR—stop the flow! end the nightmare.

I’m a Canadian and no fan of Prime Minister Trudeau. It’s unfortunate the best speech he ever gave was after he resigned as Prime Minister. What he has said in this speech is absolutely true, despite the fact, I think Trump is doing some good things for the USA. This Terrif war with your neighbour is stupid. Unfortunately for us in Canada our Prime Minister has not given us the tools and freedom to grow economically and prosper the way we should have. Canadians should be living like Kings, but unfortunately are living paycheque to paycheque because of the stranglehold that our Prime Minister has put on businesses and its citizens. Now Canada has very little leverage, I believe to fight this Terrif war. Canada has become a pure Cradic nightmare, like the previous administration in the United States were overtaxed over regulated and spend money like drunken sailors on stupid things that don’t help us grow and prosper.

Brilliant speak from the Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau, absolutely brilliant. tRUMP will respond in his usual fashion...child like speaking ignorant and full of lies and praise for himself just watch. Is this what republicans voted for, trade wars with what were once strong allies, stripping Federal Departments that ensured well being for needed services. tRUMP and his administration this is a nightmare for not just the United States but the world.

What the hell is this country coming to? I am a proud Native American but I am embarrassed to be called an American right now. This has to stop. We need adults to jump in and end this nightmare. And end it before it is too late. We are going to lose our closest allies then what will we have left?

I’m American and I stand with Canada also Ukraine. Trump has made the US a nightmare and joke to live in. I was afraid his first term and terrified this second term. I did not vote or support this man.

Dude Its a shame you stepped down. Because you are one Awesome leader. I would rather be #Canadian Right now Than an American. I have found that being an American is not what I hoped it might be. I have been to Canada. Its a wonderful Beautiful nation and its people are some of the coolest in the world. I live so Close to Canada I am sorry We are doing this to you. and the Great Canadian's. I am incensed and angry right now. I want to just leave and defect to another country. I can not Stand the Hideous evil Man Trump And his lackey sidekicks Musk and VD Vance. They are destroying this great nation. Why the military has not stepped in here. Only shows its Cowardice and weakness to follow its own oaths to the nation and its people. Trumps first term was a nightmare. This Term is horrifying. And its killing people. Soon there will be Farms/Camps. Then worse things will come. In Advance There are those of us who are sorry now. Many of us do not have the ability to stop this. and we really really want too.

I fled russia in 2008, but I could not imagine, even in my worst nightmare, that russia would catch me in 2024.

Trump is an abhorent monster. There is no place for him in politics or anywhere else. Let this nightmare be over soon and let all Americans understand what is happening here. I think he's working for Russia to try to dismantle America.

Trump knows he's hurting America. That's exactly his and Putin's goal. He's a terrorist doing everything in his power to destroy America. He's only getting away with the because of his PRIVILEGE. YT people don't understand this. Obama could NEVER get away with this. He couldn't even wear a tan suit without everybody jumping all over him. HORRIBLE NIGHTMARE. Trump needs to be fired and locked up. He's a danger to society

Ty PM we're in a nightmare blessings to u all good intentioned ppl.

I’m just crying here in TX. So hopeless over the destruction of our country. How could anyone have been so stupid to vote for donald. Utter nightmare.

I pray everyday for tRUMP to have a fast food induced widowmaker ? to put an end to our American nightmare.

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for showing the world how a true gentleman and leader talks to the leaders of another country in spite of the irrational, immoral and turncoat actions from a former Ally; our (?) new MAGA President Donald Trump. It's so surreal that this narcissistic, psychopathic person actually won the Presidential election (again). All I can say is I am sorry, embarrassed, and ashamed of my broken country's politicians in Washington, D.C. at present. Many more Americans support the democratic policies than the anti-democratic that Trump's regime is spouting all around the world. Just know this isn't what most Americans believe and we don't support his thoughts and actions. We are trapped in this nightmare that makes no sense. We hope this is just a temporary change. These new policies benefit no one but the oligarchs of America (and world). I guess we are just going to have to take our punishment for the few years for not being able to prove that these people in Washington care NOTHING for anyone, including their own constituent, and are hell bent on taking down and destroying our American, Democratic way of life and we, the people, are helpless to stopping it dissolve and crumble. Thank you Canada for always being such great neighbors. Good luck, peace out!

As an American I am so disheartened about things going on at the White House. A lot of us didn’t vote for this mess and their stupidness. I am so unhappy and disgusted. Donald Trump needs to be in jail not sitting in White House being a demanding bully. This is a nightmare, the last 2 months have been a nightmare. Look how elegant Canda, Mexico and Pres Zelensky are being. He was suppose to be making America great again. What a joke!

I'm not a fan of Trudeau, but I must say, what a great, articulate speech. What a nightmare 4 years of orange baby.

The more I read the comments of different news articles, the more I realize that we as a world, and a species, want to be united as friends, hand in hand but our leaders are trying to keep us divided. I hope we make it through the next few years alive. And when this nightmare is over, I look forward to the world coming together, be they people of Russia, Ukraine, Mexico, Canada, and America.

Again get the world out of this nightmare and Arrest these 3 Idiots in the white house! Trump Vance and Musk... you have no much time left before things are going really bad!! stop them take the power away! or you will witness the end of USA and rise of chaos and terror! Trump and his gang are a cancer for democracy! stop them before they destroy you! or is it too late already?

As a Canadian I’m so proud of Prime Minister Trudeau and our country! We all know that the tariffs will affect our Country too but we are willing to stand shoulder to shoulder and help each other out. Thank you to all the countries that stand with us and to the Americans that didn’t vote for this nightmare!

Lost American jobs caint pay mortgages caint buy food lost homes cars can't afford insurance payments feed your families America has been hoodwinked and bamboozled by Trump this is a nightmare

What a nightmare we americans are living in. Terrorized by our own 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!?????

Canada better do more than that. I support Canada hitting us hard. Trump is a NIGHTMARE and a TRAITOR to the US Constitution.\nDo your worst. ?? Many of us support you here. Trump is an enemy to democracy.

I am Canadian. A very proud Canadian. \nI am very proud of our Prime Minister. He speaks with truth and facts. He is articulate, calm, and composed. Such a contrast to what the world experienced watching trump and vance kibosh the Ukraine president. Trump and vance were utterly disgusting. \nGood luck to those of you in USA who didn't vote for trump and the nightmare you're dealing with. \nCanada, elbows up!❤

What Trump is doing is completely wrong and unhinged!\nWe are now in a nightmare!\nBoston, Massachusetts

? 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 ?????

The US was an example, a role model for most of the entire world and it reversed in a matter of weeks. We are living absurd times. It is sort of a nightmare. Why is the US isolating itself, picking ridiculous fights with friends? If the American people don’t react to this and get rid of the madman, it’s gonna end badly… 4 the Americans.

Its incredible what is happening. After humiliating Zelensky , saying that he didnt want peace (not true), now Trump starts a trade war with Canada. It's so insane. Its like Trump follows Putin, or like they are allies in destroying the world. Is this the way to make America great? Its already a nightmare.

Feel like I am in a nightmare, anyone please in the republican side of the senate or congress, stop this stupidity

Bravo!?????? I am an American and I stand with Canada. Leaders from other countries around the world should be as strong as your leader Trudeau! This message could not be more clear or direct. And I’m glad Trudeau didn’t call him with president in front of his name. trump doesn’t deserve it. He is a disgrace to America and exactly what America is not about. No one knows how he could get here But it’s a nightmare that we are trying to wake up from. Trump has spread cancer in America and we are fighting for our lives. We are deeply sorry for all the pain we are causing people around the world. This is our fight and we unfortunately are making it everyone’s problem. We need help, so thank you for everything you are doing.

Donald is going to spread a bunch of lies tonight with some address to Congress. Living in the US is a nightmare right now. We love you, Canada!

does trudeau really think he gets to criticize another nations economy? living in Canada is a financial nightmare. Canada will regret not complying. Canada is about to become unlivable. bye bye Canada. hello 51st state of the union

USA got to the point when it has the worst president ever, he is very destructive , divided and dumb. He is breaking the best military force on the planet: Nato. The nightmare for Americans.

American citizen, disabled, LGBTQIA, and have lost many friends and most family members because of Trump. Struggling to survive this nightmare as I stand with our allies Canada and Mexico (and Ukraine).

I’m sure that mr Putin and mr Xi had never dreamed what mr trump is doing in these few days. He is throwing away 80 years of soft power and is unrolling a wonderful red carpet for China ambitions. Please wake up me, i’m sure this is a nightmare.

Trudeau absolutely schooled our Orange Nightmare. #CanadaStrong

Preach Trudeau! The American government is desperately trying to hurt American families & lie about who is truly at fault. Many of us know the truth & who is truly at fault but unfortunately less than half of all voters believed his lies & manipulation & voted for this nightmare. ?

The trade war has begun now he wants to discuss how we’re going to adapt to the economic nightmare how we can survive this and how we can defeat Trump’s bullshit

@wolf, sorry about your privileged white border dreams becoming a nightmare. Is your house still there, poor thing?

I'm an American who voted for Kamala Harris in Illinois. This nightmare is not my fault. ?
