trump what a monster! terrible person!

Justin was wrong about one thing tho, that orange monster is NOT a smart man. I get it, gotta be polite I guess.

I'm American...I love Canada! I have many friends there ! Thank you for standing up for Canada and actually for standing up for innocent Americans like me who never voted for this monster we have now as a president! I'm 50 and I've never ever seen anyone like the administration we have now ! My parents and my grandparents would be ashamed of Donald Trump especially my grandfather who was a world War 2 vet who received a purple heart award ! Shame on you Donald

Dear Canada, Please remember that only half of us voted for this monster, and we'll be back in four years, or maybe even two.

We don’t want this. We understand. Trump is a monster. ????????????

What is this trade war all about you may ask? It is about the president of the United States is a barking mad lunatic on a cruel and angry power trip out to exact vengeance on humanity because he is still angry at his mommy and daddy for not paying enough attention to him as a toddler. This is not a joke. His horrible parents turned him into a narcissistic psychopathic monster!

We have a monster here. ?

We have to stop the monster ? trump before is to late

American here who has spent 57 years visiting and loving Canada. HELP US get rid of the monsters in the White House. Thank you Canadian friends.

As an American who opposes - STRONGLY opposes - the Trump administration and everything it stands for, I am sorry for what our country's government is doing to the rest of the world but especially to our oldest, closest allies. \n\nThe MAGA faithful will remain faithful even as the prices of virtually everything goes up and up and our economy tanks. They believe what comes out of Trump's mouth no matter what it is, no matter how obvious reality proves him wrong. Those of us who know what Trump really is have known what he's really about since the beginning. He's about himself and nothing more. His every move, his every word is about further enriching himself and patting himself on the back for his greatness.\n\nHis election to a 2nd term (and maybe more if he decides to ignore our Constitution) will be written about in the history books and it will not be favorable. This is what he wants, though. He wants to be thought of as an influential figure. Well, he is that. But so was a certain little Austrian monster who is remembered with great shame and disgust.

From The Netherlands: Bravo to you Trudeau! And to you Canadians. We’re on your side. ?????✌️… I can’t believe what is going on with the USA and how that monsters Trump can do such a thing, and why?!? And how does democracy works in the US; did he get a majority of votes for starting this war?!? It’s disgusting (and the start of WW3? I’m scared as hell).

I hope Trump voters are happy because over half the country cannot sleep at night from the actions of this felon and monster.

Stop crying Canada. U and Europe created this monster and now thats coming after u, u still don't get it. U still ask it to play nice

American ppl have created this monster ? and being honest w/u, they don’t know 2 get rid of it ?????. This is non sense issue ????

Mr. Trudeau thank you for apologizing to us the American citizens for this trainwreck our narcissist evil monster not leader has caused since his first day in office

I live in New York Governor Houchl is charging Congestion prices 9 Dollars to enter south of 60 street Mr Prime monster please tell the governor of New York who shares the border with you to stop this congestion prices it's a scam

I’m American and I hate President Trump always! He’s a monster!

The GOP and the American people have unleashed 2 monsters in Trump and Vance - and you gave them the keys to the nukes. Unfortunately, the world has to pay the price.

So sorry Trudeau that America is run by a Neo Nazi Traitor Trump & Republicans put this Traitor monster in office & Trump's surrounded by his bootlickers who are cowards!

I'm sorry Canada! Lots of Americans hate whats going on too! Trump is a monster of a human.

I am a patriotic American. I apologize to Canada for what Trump has put Canada through and what he intends to do to Canada in the future. All I can say is that there are many people who wish Trump out of office and are doing what they can to achieve that end. So sorry Canada. I hope one day you can forgive Americans for allowing this monster to seize and exercise the power of the presidency.

It’s horrible that all of us In the US have to face the consequences of Trump’s insanity, and be labeled as traitors on the world stage. That this was allowed to happen shows America is a deeply ill nation right now. That so many of us can see this president as an absolute monster, while others as a savior, shows how broken we have become. This is something we alone are going to have to figure out.

This why we need to learn history...Frank D Roosevelt created a Monster, Stalin and Trump is trying to do the same siding with Putin.

As an American I am so disgusted by this country that they voted in this monster and I wake up every day afraid of what horrors await us from the oval office. Much respect to Canada for fighting back, these tariffs will serve nobody.

The US under the orange anus is no friend to any country that isn't run by authoritarian dictatorships. \n\nHit us back hard, Canada. We deserve to be hurt for electing that orange monster!!

?? SENIL TRUMP IS A BIG COWARD! STRONG WITH THE WEAK BUT WEAK WITH THE STRONG! THE AMERICAN PEOPLE MUST EXPEL THIS MONSTER FROM THE GOVERNMENT!!?

Stand proud Canada ❤- I didn’t vote for this Monster and we will suffer while they grow richer. I stand for Canada and Ukraine !!

For the 1st time in my 75yrs of existence on this planet, I am thoroughly Ashamed to be an American....I am ashamed of those who voted for this wannabe dictator......because of their short sidedness, they have elected a monster.....as for the politicians that enable him, they are spineless swamp creatures that need to be voted out of office and some sent to Guantanamo and charged with crimes against America

I'm not American. I grew up hearing lots of hate bout USA cuz the US doesn't exactly have a good rep in foreign policies - always bullying other nations, starting wars for oil etc. but I've always preferred USA not just for the world order it brings, it allows different voices, criticism & scolding towards its leaders compared to China, Russia & North Korea. \n\nin the US, you can talk bad bout politicians in power, or probably make movies bout these kind of things like US invading other countries for oil, or testing out some cruel AI military robots on humans (movie name: Monsters of Man), & you won't be persecuted. but after looking at a bunch of executive orders Trump has signed, the way he (& JD Vance) treated Zelenski & Canada, I don't know if I still feel the same bout USA anymore.\n\nif USA doesn't wanna continue spending on Ukraine, perhaps USA shouldn't have sweet talked Ukraine into denuclearization thru the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. that's what you get for mendling with other countries' affairs. by stopping US aid & wanting a new mineral deal, Trump's refusing to follow the Memorandum (I added this sentence thru edit as I can't reply to the comment below).\n\nunderstandably, US & UK don't need to deploy troops in Ukraine as the security assurance in the memorandum wasn't clearly defined, but it also didn't mention that Ukraine should pay the US back financially, nor any mineral concessions. \n\nTrump always wanting a purely 1 sided deal will only isolate USA from more allies.

As a citizen of the USA who voted against Donald Trump, I'm sorry for all the damage this monster is doing to the world. It is a horrible stain on the history of this country and the bright men who founded it, as imperfect as they were.

He's too nice, Trump is not bright or is saddled with any kind of higher intellectual function. He is a very dangerous and stupid monster.

Well done Justin … I have say that you have done Canada proud on the handling of this treacherous betrayal by the hateful, ignorant monster south of the border. \n\nThank you

CNN should not be surprised at the antics of Von Shitzinpantz when they have chosen to give him so much airtime and benefit of the doubt to the monster that they helped to create. CNN has facilitated this catastrophic situation. Hope CNN is satisfied with Trump's treachery and capitulation to Putin. His treachery must have cost Putin a king's ransom. What will it cost America ?It's soul I suspect

LOVE CANADA! I apologize for what that monster is doing! People here will be hurt financially, but perhaps that is a lesson that those who voted for that person needs to learn!? God bless CANADA!

I hope atleast some Canadians read my text. We have a madman in office.. A huge mistake on our part. Please do what you need to to do. It is money that seems to be the only think this monster understand. Im am other understand your position. I think Don old has gone crazy.

I am shocked and dismayed at the calm in this female reporters voice, as if, just another day at the WH. PLEASE TELL IT LIKE IT IS. We have a criminal psychopath in the WH who is ruining our GOOD relationships....BECAUSE HE CAN. He's NUTZ. IMPEACH HIS SORRY ASS NOW! How many crimes does he have to commit before someone does something. Why are sitting and watching the destruction of our country? Find a good protest...I'm sure they need us all. I know I do. I need the family of man to stand up to this crazy monster in the WH....throw his ass out. Pick him up and removing him. If we only had the 'cojones'.

Saying it like it is … as De Nero said “he’s a monster”

I’m so devastated \nLove Toronto Quebec when I visit please don’t hold it against me\nThe orange monster is killing the USA

Thank you for Standing up to this monster , Canada.

I know...I've been to Niagara Falls and Toronto....best visiting place ever. Beautiful Country and my hope is to one day have an opportunity to visit and take the train across. Thank you for your help with the California Fires....you are having to deal with a deranged, self-loving monster who IS NOT QUALIFIED to have the job he is playing with. You must defend yourselves of all his whims and orders. This dictator want-to-be, whom many of us don't want here, is a bully! Don't allow that to happen...ever. Push back...don't let the bully orange tumor get his way without repercussions. We as citizens know there will be a high price to pay, but we are not blinded to his tyranny.

Thank you Canada for putting that orange monster in his place , and by the way I'm an American !

Go Canada!!!!! Don't let the monster in the white house win!!! Much respect from Kansas!!!!!

Say thank you to russian lovers. That happens when you keep monster alive..... Russia was saved many times by western, now you see

Great Job Trudeau, don't let the Orange Monster bully you and fight back. He's ruining our Country.

We are so stupid. I cannot believe my countrymen voted for this monster, and now we all pay the price.

I loved Canada! I wish we didn’t have this monster FELON running my country.
