Sir please speak directly to Donald Bcz I never voted for his ass and never would. Donald does not care about Americans at all.

I am a Republican leaning American who did not vote for Trump (never voted for him), and I urge every country to stand up to bullying tactics of Trump. I am relatively rich, so this fluctuating market or rising egg prices will not affect me; poorer people than me will be affected greatly. And ironically, these poorer people voted for Trump. I just don't understand it because if I am a poor American, I would have voted for Bernie Sanders because at least the guy has some integrity unlike most politicians. And I am sorry to say I would have voted for Kamala Harris if she were not so dumb. Even though I lean Republican in that my values align more with Republican ideals, I consider whether a candidate has strong integrity and found none in Trump and Kamala Harris.

Full respect! Clear, straightforward, powerful. I would vote him - If I would live there.

No more buying US. No visits/ holiday's. No stocks. Cant help but feel this is what trump and musk want, i.e. to have stockmarket get weaker so they can buy more. \nLook over there...(aligning with Putin dictator, Bullying zelensky, illegal firing staff, tariffs, accusing zelensky of propaganda as US fox news is known for it) whilst they shake markets up, risking world war 3 for multiple reasons. With the Supreme court in his pocket, the US is following Putins lead and becoming a dictatorship. The law is far to pliable there at this point. \nAll those voted Trump in and think he is making America great, you are DILLUSIONAL!\nHe will take you and your families down.. the young get sent to war, the old asshole sociopathic men sit by the fire protected. It took a very long time for Germany to escape the reputation after Hitler. You want the rest of the world to disdain and never trust your country and people?! Germany recovered, but it was painful healing. \nHow bout Trump sleeps out on the streets, deals with fentanyl addicted unsupported US citizens and veterans or get sent to war? Or what about his children or grandchildren?! Would he care if they were called to stand for the country if WW3 broke out, because of him? Trump truly is making a statement... he gives 2Fs about the people, totally self serving. For the capitalist bullies who love money at any cost..even blood money... non of your investments will make a difference if you have no heating, water, food, jobs, lost family members through war and crap health system... not an ounce of love, respect, compassion, respect, leadership in the US government. The World can be better. Choose better... for all that is sacred... stop the madness!!\n\nWell done Canada & Trudeau... love and support you beautiful people. ❤\nLove and Strength to the people of Ukraine around the globe. I pray for this nightmare to end in your favour. For your loved ones to be safe and protected and that you can be reunited once more. Love and praise for Zelensky...you are a phenomenal leader. May you receive the support needed to end the war.❤\nHang tight US citizens who wish a very different US .❤

Who the hell voted for Dump? A convicted criminal, u voted for a criminal. And now that criminal is supporting Russia and North Korea, alienating our friends and allies, and doing what he said he would do...become a dictator. Oh, but not help the US economy and reduce costs. Surprised? Not. I voted for Harris.

I think it's important to citizens of the world outside of America to know that not all of us represent this government! I am a veteran and never would turn my back on leadership... Until this clown. I stand with Canada, and all of you who have stated as much. We who didn't vote trump in can now only stand by and watch this mistake happen! It's going to take nations to come together with us to stop this dictator from destroying everything we've fought for! I have given my life to the military as we deployed to many countries to support efforts to rebuild after disasters both natural and man made. Now I call on this nations to stand ready when we need you most! Please don't give up on those of us who still care. It's time!!!

We, Canadians, are going to be fucked 100%. Like Ukranians. Trump wants to crush Canada until it bends its knees.....he intimidates, coerces and extorts. We are living in an extremely serious moment, and it has only just begun. 75 million people voted for him. If there was a new vote today, he would still win. The United States wants a strong, loud-mouthed president who will crush the past and reinvent a new world. the rest is to follow. If it wasn't so brutal and frightening, it would be fascinating.

From Georgia, I stand with Canada 100%. trump is a traitor and a criminal. I do not accept him as president. I am ashamed of America and I apologize with all my heart for what trump is doing. I did not vote for him and never would! I love Canada and will always support you!

Just imagine if America would have voted for the woman instead! #FuckTrump

I’m a 53 year old Canadian. I went to college on an athletic scholarship & lived there for 10 years after turned professional in my sport. Why, why, why - with all the problems going on in the world right now to tackle - why would you want to start a trade war with your closest trading partner & most loyal ally? Not to mention that your list of Allies is shrinking daily. This is not going to end well for either of us. \nI just arrived home from a trip to the grocery store - making sure nothing in my cart said “ made in the USA” on it due to the new tariffs that began today. \nThe irony is, many of the states where Trump won by the biggest margin, are the states that are going to get hit the hardest from Canadian retaliation tariffs ( Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana, the Dakotas - just to name a few). A lot of farmers in those states are going to be hit extremely hard with the fertilizer tax. After Canada, the next 3 largest Potash producers are Russia, Belarus & China. So , good luck \nWhen the cost of fruit & vegetables skyrocket across the US. Maybe you’ll put a little more thought into your vote 4 years from now.

As an American, I agree with what Canada is going to have to do. I didn't vote for this Dictator. I voted for a strong woman who would have been a better president then Dump. I will never be on his side!

Kudos to the PM Trudeau for speaking out against Trump tariffs. Mr. Trudeau sees what the Trump voters fail to see prior to the elections. Trump is using the excuse of stopping drugs coming into the country. When in reality his tariffs will only benefit corporations. These tariffs will be passed down to the consumers who will pay for them. If everyone who voted for Trump weren't deaf and blind we would not have to now worry more about inflation and higher prices. All those who blamed Biden for increased prices should have looked back at the pandemic that Trump failed to acknowledge.

If i could vote for Trudeau as an honarary/interim president of the US, i would.

We will have to remember in the future that half of us voted for this. To not have the, “It wasn’t me…?” reaction. Why would anyone ever trust us again? Over half of us voted for this, he talked about tariffs throughout his campaign. I am so ashamed. We are not great, we are sloppy, stupid and small minded.

This is what the Hateful side of America voted for, It was cool when they thought it would affect only certain groups of people, but now it seems Trump screwed everyone with some of his actions. Good luck on the next 4 years because it’s going to be a wild ride ?

I'm a 71 year old US citizen and I hate Trump. I didn't vote for him, nor would I EVER! I'm truly afraid of what our future holds. Please pray for us, the regular folks, not billionaires. We love you Canada.?? ❤

Trump is a crazy immoral liar who wants to be a dictator and he’s trying to ruin the country so that he can be. I hope the people who voted for him are happy. It was clear, and he even described what he would do. I am very sorry it is hurting our friends and allies, as well as the U.S. people, especially Canada, Germany, and France..

I wish they would stop saying “they” it’s trump and trump and Elon only not ALL OF US! I promise you i did not vote for this crappy man

NO TARIFFS THE UNITED STATES DECIDED TO PICK THIS ORANGE PUMPKIN AS PRESIDENT I DID NOT VOTE FOR TYRANNY I VOTED FOR KAMALA HARRIS AND SHE TOLD EVERYBODY THIS WOULD HAPPEN AS HE DID TOO

Trump smart????? LMAO!!!!! Trump speaks and writes at a 3rd-7th grade level according to language and writing analysis experts. He's had so many typos and grammatical errors in his social media posts it would be laughable if not for the fact he's the President of the USA. It's not a mystery the dumbest people in this country voted for him.

Go Justin!\nThis American with Quebequois ancestry supports you.\n\nHe did not, would not EVER get my vote.

I would’ve voted for Trump, but as of now I’m happy I didn’t

I would’ve voted for Trump, but as of now I’m happy I didn’t

Trudeau is as much a joke as anyone in Washington ? if you guys would learn to vote you wouldn't need us so much

Really over 50 percent vote for this. It would be funny if It's not so sad in the same time. For now, it will work for the USA, but the boomerang will fly back. Your Partner realize now finally that the US is not trustful anymore. They need a bit of time to prepare but if it's done, America is isolated (ok Russia and North Korea will still like you). The world continue rotating, with or without the USA. But maybe It's what the American wants so it's fine. But Trump's territorial claims are a shame. Regards from Germany.

I only wish all the Americans that stand with Canada now would have stood at the polls and voted against Trump.

Wish Canada would open its doors to those of us wanting to leave here. \nThat did not vote for this.

I didn't vote for him. I stand with Canada. I wish that they would impeach Trump. Everything Trump says is a lie.

Trump on day ONE gave tax breaks to the richest (includes him!), he sold your federal government to Elon so he can issue contracts to himself, he has insulted, alienated and threatened allies (ex-allies now) and he made it known that he stands with dictators like Kim Jong and Putin. Yet millions of you would probably vote for him again. Not sure if USA can redeem itself.

Canada and Mexico have always been family, as well as UK and Europe close friends and allies. Trump is by far the daftest president in the history of our nation, he’s destroying our economy and the well-being of the American people. All he’s doing is making the rich richer and getting rid of the middle class making families struggle. \n\nSo much for the equality and prosperity of our country. \n\nI really wish President Zelenskyy would not sign over any mineral l rights to the Ukraine. I felt embarrassed and completely appalled as an American for the treatment that he received. \n\nThe duped people who voted for Trump are now getting what they deserve. This presidency is not America first. \nThis presidency is about Trump and his friends changing all the laws for their own benefit lining their pockets.

There has to be someone like Trudeau in America that could be president. Maybe the US should become Canada, not the other way around. I would vote for that.

Canada, the American people don't want this and a lot of Trump supporters didn't want this either. I'm sorry that y'all too have to suffer and deal with a man that doesn't lead your country. Believe me I would swap with y'all tomorrow. \n\nIt's amazing how Canada came up with how many billions for border patrol but we can't get Congress to pass a bill. President Biden tried to get a bill through Congress within his first 100 days and they wouldn't pass it then either. We have scanners sitting at the Mexican Border that will detect Fentanyl but Congress would approve using them either. Everyone needs to find out how their Representative voted on that bill and make sure they are not in office next time. \n\nI don't know how this man got elected but I feel like Musk and Starlink helped him win. I just heard that Starlink is what was used to send the results in the swing states. Musk told someone an hour before polls closed that Trump was the winner, with his evil laugh and let's not forget Trump telling his supporters that they didn't need to vote cause he will win without them. That's fishy. \n\n\nY'all what do we do if he won't leave office? What do we do then? I know he just got in the White House but it's never too early to have a plan to get him out. They worked on Project 2025 for 4 years and now it's all falling into place. OMG! What are we going to do?

If only MAGA could get these facts through their small brains ?\n\nAmerican here who would never vote for orange garbage, with you 100%, Canada!

It’s just beyond me that Americans would vote a liar, clown and crazy person to lead their country.

Dear Canadian friends & allies, i would recommend becoming as self sufficient as possible for now, we don't know how long or how well our president will get his way destroying international relationships with our allies.\nAt least half of US voters did not vote for this guy.

Not telling why Canada was imposed with 25% tariffs . President Trump told you Mr. Trudeau 30 days ago if you did not put your military on the border to keep illegal immigrants from crossing into the United States he would do this. So you were warmed! Do not get up there and lie! We voted for President Trump to close our borders cause when he campaigned he said he would and he's sticking to his promise.

Imagine voting for Trump over inflation while he was saying he would use tariffs and people thinking it wouldn't affect them. So naive. Trump is an agent of chaos who is anathema to everything this country stands for, and it's self-evident by his actions. We are a country who is strong because of our friends around the world and no one will trust this country when we keep putting an idiot in office who doesn't honor former president's agreements. You can't work with a country who won't stick to it's agreements. You wouldn't tolerate a friend like that, and this is the same thing on a macro level.

Many of us did not vote for this idiot and we tried to tell those who did what they were getting . A lying fraudster and rapist and first of all con man liar. We were shocked as many of you Canadian people. Because of our constitution we have to win three more seats in our congress in order to impeach him. He has hurt many people here by cutting healthcare and even our money. I am on legal fentanyl and ending this medication would kill me. I agree illegal fentanyl should be stopped it’s a very dangerous drug in the wrong hands.

Or you can just sign up to be the 51st state of the US. You would become the largest state in the US area wise, but not population wise. You also could vote in American elections. Many Canadians would have voted for Trump by the way if they could have.

America, look what you have done. Those who voted for this demon did this. You were told this monster would destroy America. \nCanada is wonderful place with an intelligent leader. \nTrump is stupid, a wanna be Putin

As an American that did not nor never would vote for trump....there is no making sense out of his idiocy. He has made us less safe in the world, he has humiliated America. I cannot believe this is happening in my country, I'm so sad and sorry for the chaos he and the Republicans are causing.

I never thought I would be proud of my Prime minister. But Today I stand tall and proud with my government, and feel bad for my brothers and sisters south of us who didnt vote this felon back in. He disrespected so many people in so little time its impressive that some people lacks intelligence and still think he is a fit leader for the free world.

Go Canada! Be tough on America. America deserves NO sympathy. I'm sorry. Most Americans are sorry about this situation. I hate the orange troll and I'm just as angry at the people that voted for him. But, I don't think even they thought he would do this and probably trusted the Congress to stop these things. But, the Republican side of Congress is made up of cowards. This will hurt America. I just hope in the end, this will make America better because people will realize the consequences of their stupidity. And stop electing spineless and evil representatives.

I'm a Canadian who has always voted for Prime Minister Trudeau and I will continue to vote liberal. I heard a person on the Jake Tapper, C NN, this afternoon say all the companies are coming to the USA not Canada, he didn't mention that they come because they don't have to pay a lot of taxes. Us Canadians take great offense that the spawn of the devil wants to annex our country and he refers to our Prime Minister as governor. The orange dumb criminal and his maggots would probably give part of our country to snakehead war tyrant putin who has interest in the Artic and that would involve Greenland. We Canadians don't want to make life difficult for the American people but the dumb evil cheeto likes tariffs. President Zelenski didn't start the war and he won't be the one to start WW3. putin is a war criminal who controls the criminal organization in the White House and it's leader. President Zelenski be careful the spawn of the devil ? and war tyrant can't be trusted. ?????

OK woke Trudeau, who is about to get replaced - remove tariffs targeting US businesses for the last 3 decades, like the 200%+ tariff on dairy products from USA, then we can talk\n\n...and YES we will deal with Russia because they are the only country who didn't take a red cent of aid from USA - their fertilizer is far cheaper than Canada's fertilizer.\n\nI'm speaking to Canadians - especially the truckers whose bank accounts Trudeau froze - vote out the woke Canadian government!\n\nAs far as CNN goes, you are traitors - you would betray USA because the dummy you wanted to win failed against Trump.\n\nThe stock market going down has far more to do with short supply of chips - that is why tech companies were hit heaviest. Last time I checked, Canada doesn't make chips.

The Canadian government is there to serve its citizens. yo, merica - who have lost tons of jobs recently. How nice would that be if our country was there for you like theirs is for them? Keep watching what your ill deserved vote for FDT gets you. Less and less every fn day!!!!

50% of us did not vote for this lunatic! Thanks to all those patriots that believe in this idiot! He is a very flawed human being, who should not be in charge of anything that has to do with people. Thank you President Biden, it is a shame that you did not get the credit you deserved. Just think how calm things would be if Kamala Harris was sitting in the White House. Canada we understand…. Congress and the Senate do your job and stop this lunacy!!! ?????

Conald thought these countries would just take his crap and beg for mercy. President Trudeau I did not vote for these lunatics at any time in my life!

CNN needs to realize its role in this, as everyone knew what Trump would do, but you didn't care enough about the black vote to listen to what they wanted. Make no mistake. The black voters held their nose and voted for Obama a second term, but when he did nothing but insult us, we stayed home on Hillary and we got Trump. Trump was an overt racist, so you scared enough black voters and we held our nose and voted for Biden, but we made it clear that scare tactics would only work once. You Doubled down in 2024 and you lost miserably this time, Double down again, and you may lose your party. For the record, there is no voter's remorse for those who stayed home.

Canada We know it’s not You! Unfortunately because Racism is Ingrained in the fabric of America, We are here yet Again?? Because a vote for An Orange cheetah is just insane. They thought by voting for Orange boy the stuff being implemented would only affect people of color. Check Your hearts America God is Aware of who is whom & Judgement it at the Door??
