There is no anti-Americanism Mrs. Paula Newton. There is anti-Trump.

This is exactly what Trump wants to destroy America!!!! to bring on techtocracy or maybe just to make his allies in Russia happy.. It's either that or he is the dumbest president in American history... I've never understood why anybody thought that he gave a damn about anybody but himself or was capable of doing anything that would benefit the American people. But here we are.. there was voter suppression at the very least. It's hard to know what to believe about all that. But I do know many people regardless voted for him. 30% did not vote. Which I do understand. As there is a genocide happening.. but at this point, I have to believe that even amongst the majority of his supporters he is not supported by the majority, major majority of the United States. The republican Congress has shown their true colors of being anti-constitutional . But they are redeemable. Do the right thing if you are in government if you have any power at all, stand up. And for the rest of us, Americans including the ones that voted for Trump let your voices be heard. Before we become something similar to Russia. And I go to prison for this comment.

it's not anti-Americanism. It's anti-Donald doing dumb things.

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.

Paula Newton uses the wrong word.....this was NOT anti-Americanism. He was saying the opposite-----and that Americans were the victims of their government as well.

what bullshit from ignorant uninformed anti-American sources. We aren't unaware of our generous history as apparently Trudeau (who historically has not been a friend of the United States) is (as well as the anti-American critics posting comments) and so we don't feel guilty of anything but trying to level the playing field.

CNN is a fan of anything anti American. Please tell the Canadian PM that Castro was a murder and worse than Putin. He sucks like CNN. Canada has had tariffs on American products for years.

Blitzer is such an anti-American coward.

THIS IS NOT ANTI-AMERICANISM!!! THIS IS ANTI-IDIOT DONALD TRUMP!!\nDon’t try spinning it to further the disintegration of our nation as you lean into Trump! \nGrow some backbone and tell the truth!

As a patriotic American, I cannot support criminal felon traitor Trump, his anti-American, anti- democratic Maga cult!! Our current government is unconstitutional out for the millionaire and billionaires not the people!! Our constitution says we the people!! I support our allies. Trump is a bully, but he is dumb, weak and pathetic. If I have to suffer financially over Trump‘s in it leadership, I’m willing to do so. It’s a small sacrifice compared to what the people that came before me did!! Trump should not even be our president. He committed insurrection. He is a total piece of SH.l!+!!!

The anti-US wave has started ! \nSad for the americans that did not choose this dictator… or realize now the mistake they did…

The anti-americanism has been happening for years inside our country by the left and the fake news. I thought celebrities were leaving. Ellen left only to return 2 weeks later. You are part of the problem. Get it together people. You got people burning tesla car chargers and vandalizing random teslas owned by innocent people smh

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, ??

As an Asian-American........Im standing for America. This comment section is anti-American.

What a disorienting disconnect - to realize you're with the bad guys, and there's nothing you can do about it. This is how anti-fascist Germans must have felt in 1938. Maybe rational Americans could put up their hands and march to the border, begging to be taken in and waving white flags. If the Canadians turn us away, they'll at least be polite about it.

We’re not anti- American, we’re anti-dictatorship. We are supportive of the good Americans. We didn’t take their jobs, savings and are decimating your country the idiots that voted this dictator in because their greed of becoming rich did it. You’ve been suckered, don’t put that on us. Take some responsibility for your own fucking mess. We didn’t shit on you! YOU CREATED THIS WORLD WIDE MESS.

Anti-Americanism- WTF this whole trade war is trump’s doing- Trump is anti-Canada

I don't think the US has any friends anymore all because of one person and his thuggy support group. I can't imagine putting anybody more anti American in the presidency. Also Donald is and idiot.

Fellow US Americans it’s time to stand up. We cannot allow the Oligarchy to succeed here. Many have been deceived into believing that these men had the US people in mind as they came to power and it has been greatly proven that all Trump and Musk care about is strong arm power to become something anti American. Donald Trump should be seen as the highest risk to our national security today. He wants to weaken our country not make it great, harming our allies opens us up as a target for our enemies. \n\nCanada, beautiful nation, the US American people are so sorry, you have done nothing to earn this treatment. Boycott US goods, use any power you have to fight back against wannabe dictator Trump. Ukrainians, we are so sorry. The greater US People do not want this and we do not want Trump. \n\nUS people, keep boycotting these oligarchs while they leisure, don’t let them rest in peace, they don’t deserve it. We are the ones who are paying while they vacation and dine on our dimes, stolen from us.

CNN IS FAKE NEWS AND ANTI - AMERICAN.

CNN is full of bots and they are anti American. These comments are all fake propaganda. Thank you President Trump keep the heat on them until they respect us .

Thst's anti- Trumpism not anti- americanism. Trump is \n clearly seditious & totatly incompetent. Convicted felons DONT belong in the W.H.

And that anti-Americanism will continue and get worse and worse because of Trump! In a very short time, Trump's ONLY friend will be Putin!

Let's not become anti-American. Let's just become more pro-Canadian. Thinking too much of America has put us in this situation. Left or right on the political spectrum. Let's just make our parties put US first, not U.S.

I'm sorry, that's not anti-Americanism. Word choices matter, and this was intentional. Think what you will of Trudeau or Canada, the reason people are turning away from networks like CNN is at least in part because you continue to pay people who are incentivized to frame everything as pro-America or anti-America. Some better choices might have included: frustrated, honest, distressed, resolved. Nothing Trudeau said was in any way anti-American.

This is NOT ANTI-AMERICANISM!!! It is in response to what YOUR president has DONE!!! IT IS YOUR FAULT!!!!! IT IS DONALD'S FAULT!!! NOT THE PRIME MINISTER'S AND NOT CANADA'S!!! \nOUR PRIME MINISTER CARES VERY DEEPLY ABOUT ALL CANADIANS !!! \n\nCANADIANS CHOSE TO STOP SHOPPING AMERICAN BECAUSE OF YOU AND YOUR PRESIDENT!!!

It's not Anti Amercanism, its politicians and money.\nWe love you, we are not playing your president's threat games, we are responding to protect our economy.\nBroadcasters would do well to carefully weigh their spins right now, this is not a drama, it's real?.\nWe want to support American businesses.\nThis is all unneccesarily crazy and scary.\nLong live Diplomacy and Democracy.\n❤?❤

It's not Ant-American! It's Anti-Dump! I don't blame him. Stop blaming Canada!

We have been asking for years. Take a good look at the city’s and the numbers of family’s kids and adults have died yearly from this.100,000s have died a year. Lives and family’s have been destroyed and the crime that has come with it. We have been asking for years now they claim they are helping. We need to depend on Americans and America more this can be good for us more Americans buying and selling to Americans. All these countries have gotten the better deal with us for years. Now we want the better deal.Our tax dollars have gone to all these other countries now we say no more and everyone is anti American.

Canadian here. We are not anti-American. We are anti tariffs brought on by your president! And we will not be your 51st state!

This isn’t’anti-Americanism’ how about anti-Canadian? As an American I can only say this breaks my heart that Donald continues to sever relationships with our nearest neighbors and Allie’s. How sad for all of us. Now tighten your belts America. This will hurt but Donald will tell you how great this is for everyone in his usual stupid bravado.

As an American who is anti-Trump, I will wait in fear until we can rid ourselves of him-

Anti-Americanism? Really? This is a direct response to the United States' recent stance against the world itself. Canada isn't at fault, nor should it be held responsible for this trade war.

CNN = pro Canada Anti American .....makes me sick ....Canadian = someone punches them in the face and they say I'm sorry .

Jesus f'n Christ CNN!\n This is NOT Anti-americanism.\n This is anti Trump and his MAGA hooligans

You fool, this is not anti-Americanism.\nAmerica, more specifically Trump, picked this fight. Not Canada. Standing up to an overbearing bully who picks a fight is not anti-Americanism.

Anti Americanism? Anti bs i say!!!

This is less than an anti-American thing than an Ant-Trump thing. The American people aren't the enemy of Canada. Trump is the enemy of not just Canada...but the world except Putin

This is total Anti US propoganda ! This man is about as sinister as they come, and in bed with billionaire led WEF ! He clearly displayed that in his lock step response to covid and how he treated his citizens ( like caged animals)! This leader is a socialist and has nothing to offer Americans but to leech our tax dollars & use our military defenses for protection without contributing their fare share to support it! We have been the sugar daddy to so many nations with only the consequence of our tax dollars not improving our nation, but every other that we are used by! I’m not a maga but, but this president is using leverage the US still has ( although we’ve suffered greatly under the Biden Admin ). President Trump is trying to balance our budget by smart and fair trade, that puts this country’s legal citizens first! Fair trade hasn’t existed for many years, and while there may be increases felt by these tarrifs, our hope is that long term we manufacture more excellent goods here & use more of our own natural resources! Those commenting about what we are doing to Ukraine need to get their heads out if the sand…the Ukrainian people don’t want Zelinski but cannot get rid of him! He has taken hundreds of billions of dollars from the US and has no plan for peace in his nation…Pres Trump says enough is enough, and he is trying to not only end the war, but recoup massive amounts of money we wrongly gave through a deal for natural resources. Sounds like a plan that’s good for everyone involved, and that’s how you make deals! We cannot give whst we do not have & with our debt , we cannot afford to keep printing money, devaluing the dollar, and giving it away at the expense of hard working N Americans!

Trudeau is a sniveling little turd! He desperately wants to make the tariffs sound like they aren't 100% fair. Canada already taxes US imports at an average of 25%, so these US tariffs only balance the playing field. All that said, like Zelensky, Trudeau seems to forget that Canada needs the US, but the US doesn't need Canada. He says that it is going to be tough in Canada; true. On the other hand, the average American probably won't even notice a difference. But the neverending, desperate anti-Trump narrative twisting is all CNN knows.

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

Anti-americanism... hilarious. Like CNN, Trudeau is a lefty and lies, lies, lies. Neither of you is a friend of, or work with this President. Wesley Clark? Really? You've reached the bottom of the barrel for an activist.

‘Anti American ‘ ?

The rural parts of America, where people wear military style clothing, work out so much they have oversized body muscles, and style their head and facial hair so crazily, driving heavy duty trucks with anti -American government bumper stickers, they are the right wing domestic terrorists. In those mountainous rural counties you will come across poor grade roads with gates and chains at the entrance to hundreds of fortress compounds. The women are way too thin, often with frightened, glazed looks in their eyes. Both the men and women will give anyone a way too long piercing stare. They live too far away from any place to work so many of the carefully obscured building complexes, often jammed against sheer tall walls of rocks, have to be making something inside!

It is no coincidence that anti Americanism did not start until Trump got back in office. The previous 4 years no problems at all. Now once again USA is the enemy of the entire world and the laughing stock. GO CANADA!!!!!!!

Why do they call this Anti-American while the Americans were Anti-Canadian in the first place? Nobody voted for the Donald but here he is? Who voted then? If Trump was a movie title: “Dumber and Dumberer”

So this is where all the anti-American people hang out???

Antie Americans bro you guys started all this shit,\nLitig gone start using add block and prieting your shit, not getting any more of my money ?

TRUMP SCHOOLS TRUDEAU! CNN IS FAKE NEWS. THEY WHINE AND COMPLAIN ABOUT EVERYTHING TRUMP DOES...THEY'RE ANTI-AMERICAN...AND TOO MANY OF THEIR VIEWERS ARE TOO! IT'S QUITE AMAZING HOW THIS EVEN HAPPENS.
