The American empire has fallen. People of am you need to wake up now.

That is NOT \nanti- americanism. This is anti crap and anti bullying. Canada will not be the only one that will retaliate. Americans have got to wake up and do something.

Trump has destroyed the American relationship with every country that is democratic. He is now with Russia 100% The Americans had better wake up. Trump is destroying the USA. They have already basically written themselves out of what happens in Europe.

American wake up, look at what our government is doing to the people. This is scary America! God Bless America! I agree with Canadian Prime Minister.

Can you guys arrest that orange idiot for not adhering to the oath, serving the Americans, not the Russians??? How much more chaos and destruction needs to happen before you act??? How much more negative development, undermining social security, and bullying long term partners who stood with your soldiers in different US-initiated wars??? Serious, how much longer are you just gone wait and sit until all civilised structures that democratic countries built up together and the US internatlly in the last few decades are going be vanished? The only laughing party, who is doing nothung but just sitting and waiting for it to happen, is Putin, god damned! Wake up, act!

We Canadians can no longer trust the Moscow Agent Governing America since he trashed the fair trade agreement he signed. Canadians are boycotting made in USA. Feel bad for many Americans who did not vote for the Tangerine Toddler in chief. Ffs when will the Republicans wake up and realize Cheetolini is going to destroy America. I agree with Trudeau today, this trade war is dumb. Thanks from Canada ?❤️??

It gets real when leaders start speaking out. We Americans are so misinformed as a whole these days. This has to speak to something! WAKE up MAGA, we need our country sane not separated. On the big stage we don’t look good as Americans. We’re too busy fighting each other.

Trump needs to go .. he's going to literally destroy everything the USA has accomplished.. not to mention the disgusting ideology he has of dictatorship . wake up fellow Americans.

Am much as it will hurt us Americans. I want Canada's to know I am fully with you guys. I got my generator ready as I know what's coming next. May we all weather this horrible storm and come out stronger. Hopefully, the Americans who believe in a con man and his cronies finally wake up and rid us of them all. If they do, I'm certain America will not fall for this kind of man for at least another 50 years. Sometimes, people don't realize what they have until it's gone.

This is insane that some of us Americans didn't ask for this liberal or conservative we didn't ask for a monarch I hope that every maga cult person wakes up so we can kick this madman out of office

Wake up everyone, as an American citizen, I'm telling you Trump is a TRAITOR to our country and is creating a New World Order with Putin and Russia!

Polish-American here, \n\nI didn't want this trade war with our Canadian brothers and sisters. \n\nWe don't need tariffs, we can work together for our prosperity. We must stop this madness and protect the values of the Western World.\n\nWake up Americans, WAKE UP!

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.

Nobody likes trudeau. I see lots of europeans who have no idea what they are talking about supporting this. But americans and canadians all agree that trudeau is trash, he already quit, hes just stealing as much as he can before he leaves and leaving a dumpster fire in his wake

That is real leader! Justin we love you even Europe. Not that bully in the oval office. US Americans wake up and fight for your freedom and democracy!

I will never go to the US ever again!\nYour cookie cutter culture has no substance.\nYour “gated communities “ are prisons devised to protect the rich.\nYou live in constant fear and your prime focus is perceived threats to your freedom.\nWe here in Canada….not the 51st State, Don have bars on our windows.\nWe drink pure water , breath fresh clean air and we can sleep at night without hearing gunshots all night or the fear of bombs being dropped on us. \nWe are resilient people who can help ourselves in the wake of disasters and challenges.\nWe don’t need people to do our thinking for us.\nWe will overcome the folly of your ways.\nWe died for Americans and freedom in many Wars and we know what it is to make sacrifices!

It will be the American people who will end up worse off putting tariffs on goods coming into the country, you got what you voted for, wake up & smell the coffee Trumps promises are FAKE promises….

Great reaction! The Americans voting for Trump have to wake up and see that they had a big part in making his dangerous nonsense possible. Tho world has to stop this mad man as soon as possible before it's too late!

In times like this, it an opportunity for leaders around the world to show competence and leadership. American people must be smarter than their leader, they seem hypnotized. Hope when they wake up, wont be too late to repair the damage.

“We stuck to our word”. \nIt’s over for Donald.\nYesterday “don’t fawn over Putin” by Keir Starmer. \nDonald will do more\nFor attention. Until Americans wake up your leader can’t stop his tantrum.

From Norway, it sadens me to see a country i have always held in high regards end up like a regular thug.. I really hope you Americans wake up soon.. \nTeam Canada all the way!

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.

Trudeau is an example of a strong leader! Watch out Trump! Wake up fellow Americans, this is serious!

Americans, wake up! Trump is doing Putin bidding and he isolating usa from your allies…

American please wake up\nYou as people and a nation are by all means are the victims of an international plot led by Russia .....\nTrump is not naive nor compromise, he is part of plot to isolate the USA from the world and put under complete chaos

Thanks to everyone who Voted for the Rapist..you just Screwed yourselves and the rest of the American people..wake up, this is not NORMAL BEHAVIOR OF A DEMOCRACY

First of all, let's be clear, it is TRUMP doing this, NOT America. NOT American citizens! It is unfortunate that FOOLS re-elected him!! Now, we are ALL feeling the stupidity of HIS actions!! America plz, WAKE UP!!!

Trump needs to go, as well as Vance, and UNELECTED Elon Musk. Wake up MAGA, you’ve hurt yourself, fellow Americans, and the world.

Why are we not seeing more push back from American citizens? You clearly gave the power to a gangster, who's in bed with Putin. Are you gonna fix your mess or not? \nFrom the outside it seems that Bernie Sanders is the only one with a brain over there. The rest is just waiting for WW3 to unfold, and letting the billionaires run their country. \n\nYou're pathetic. Wake the f#** up please!

American people need to wake up ??

As a 60 years old french Canadian I have all the reason to not love Trudeau, because he remind me how his father treated us, never vote for him, but today I saw a men (finally) standing up and take the lead for our country. Yes Canada is still my country and I like the way he directly adress to your president. I have so many American friends on both side( D and R ) and I hope they understand that what he said is not directly apply to United State citizen, wake up America before it s to late.

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

It’s called a war on Americans that’s imposed by the uni-party that creates the illusion of choice. Wake up.

No one can negotiate with a madman. Thank you Canada. I pray Americans will wake up and impeach T

Thos is a true leader who says it as it is and tells trump and all Americans exactly how it is. Dummy donald is the stupidest most useless moronic leader America has ever had. Wake up America.

Thank You President Trudeau! Many millions of Americans support you and Canada. Our Fat Orange President and JT Vance are in Putin's Pocket. Wake Up America!

CNN cut out what our Prime Minister ?? was going to say as to the real reason why we are getting hit with Tariffs which is this,,,to economicaly cripple us so Trump can Annex Us,,Take over Canada,,,,we have what Trump wants,,Our minerals,water, rich resources,,,he wants to be like Putin his idol,,,,That is the real plan Americans,,,please wake up to this and get him out of office ,,,your country is slowly becoming a dictatorship brick by brick under Trump and his regime,,,

This is a anti Canadian attack by Trump. Not anti american! wake up you Putin loving imperialists

Pull the camera back and look at the big picture. The US has been divided sharply down the middle of the political spectrum. Canada has been crumbling under stupid political and economic decisions. This trade war is uniting the common people both American and Canadian and supportive allies around the world. Corruption has bubbled to the surface and many things that conspiracy theorists have been mocked for is now commonly known as truth. The people will unite while the Oligarchs mutter “let them eat cake” and there will be a reckoning. Donald might be making stupid choices, but perhaps that is what we needed to finally wake up and unite.

Glad to see the positive comments from Americans, we don't want to be at odds with our friends. I've been to the states a few times and it is so sad what Trump has done to your country and your people. I hope those who have joined the maga cult can wake up and come home to the goodness of what America used to stand for.

The Emperor has no clothes, but Orange Mango McFelon thinks that the rest of us are as stupid as he is. Musk thinks we are stupid. Vance thinks we’re stupid. We most certainly are not. We see right through all this bull$hit. \n\nAll Don McFelon and Elon Muskrat want from us is our tax dollars. Why else would Elon Muskrat need our personal information? What are Muskrat’s pimple faced workers doing with our personal information? Am I going to wake up one morning to discover that my bank has been cleaned out?\n\nMy fellow Americans, there is something extremely fishy here. This con artist must be stopped. We need to protest and call our Congressmen to help stop all this lunacy. This is a Five Alarm Fire. We all need to come together to stop this madness man and all those that support him. \n\nWe need to stop fighting with each other, come together, and protest DT. They want us to focus on other things so that we don’t see what they are actually doing—-stealing our tax dollars. They must be stopped.

Well done Canada. Wake up Americans! You're President is committing treason in plain sight.

Well said. Clear message to Americans. Wake up and do something about Trump or you will regret it.

Americans wake up! Trump will be big regret for you if you dont raise your voice now!

DT? The American president who wants to be remembered as a “peacemaker”? And he starts a NEW WAR? Not with one country but with two and God knows with who else will he go after. Power and Money hungry fool. \nAmericans when are they going to wake up. D Trmp is NOT God. Constantly claims in every tv moment he REPEATS his prerogative that “no war would have started if he was in power 4 years ago” and he tries to get two wars stop with an special ‘noble peace’ title interest. Make it clear. Trmp is NOT God. And he is not smart as he claim he is. He uses fear to get anyone fear him. Millions around the world have no respect for this man. I don’t think God is actually happy with this man. He is getting old just like Biden and soon his cognitive will decline too. He is already crunching bending forward and can verily hold his head straight up and the bulge in his back shows he is tired. Will see him soon sleeping in front of cameras.

I'm American, Texan even. I've fought against Trump and this insanity since 2015. My wife is a trans woman who immigrated from the Philippines almost 20 years ago. I want my fellow Americans to wake up and remove Trump from more than this country but they are just too damned stupid apparently.

Americans…Wake Up from MAGA Propaganda Machine. The Nightmare that is trumps crooked 4 th Reich Will crater Your Democracy and Economic System. The Cultist Cabinet led by the Orange Menace, is the Worst Example of Incompetence and Ineptitude ever put in place by the American People. You have been conned by Chief Criminal, and his 40 Thieves.\nToday, is the Crossroad of America’s future. \nPolitical and Economic Disaster, World shunning as a Pariah State, OR…INDICTMENT, IMPEACHMENT and CONVICTION…by BOTH Houses. That’s You GOP.\nCanada, ?? WILL RETALIATE.

Funny how none of these actions were being taken before Trump went crazy slapping charges on these countries. I’m not for the heavy handed view Trump seems to be taking, but I’ll NEVER, NEVER, EVER crap where I sleep. It’s shameful to think this country is filled with so many weak treasonous cowards. \n\nCanada took advantage of Biden just like Mexico did, so this “we’re innocent” stuff won’t play. A lot of your fellow Americans have died and the mainstream media has you believing we’ve not already been at war… wake up!

Trudeau, as an American, this will not be held against you. This is Trump's fault, period. I just hope that our government wake up and do what its necessary to remove him from power, so that a world balance can be re-established.

Americans, read the comments and wake the f up. Trump is destroying your country and your country alone. USA is easier replaced than you think.\nEU signed free trade agreement with India for example, a country of 1.5 billion people.\nWake up!
