Another American and 22 year Air Force veteran here, who stands by Canada and Mexico. This is idiotic and I am completely embarassed by Trump, everyone who voted for him and the sycophants who continue to support him. Unfortunately they cannot be reasoned with.

IF TRUMP TELLS HIS SUPPORTERS THAT COWS LAY EGGS AND CHICKENS MAKE MILK......THEY WILL BELIEVE IT

As a Minnesotan, I feel as if I’m almost as Canadian as American and proud to say so. Our present sitting president and buffoon unelected sidekick Musk are creating chaos everywhere for the sake of billionaire donors and supporters. Absolutely none of what Trump/Musk has done and plans to continue to do is beneficial to a single non-wealthy American and these actions will harm his personal voters (of which I’ve never been one!) the most. Trump cares not. Pervasive narcissistic sociopathy is not curable! Stand strong Canada! We’re trying mightily to defeat this insanity here in the USA! 74 million people did not vote for any of this harm and destruction and outright cruelty!

I don't care what side of the fence you sit on. I did not need to hear this man speak to already know Canada was, but may yet be, our greatest ally and trading partner. I have no idea what possessed Mr. Trump to decide to stab our allies in the back, but it was not something good. 27.5% of voting age adults voted for him. How many of them were serenaded by hollow promises and a good slogan. Perhaps all of the mud slinging and Russian media interference helped? If you add in our more studious teenagers, truly reformed felons, and immigrants who actually deserve a gold card, that number plummets to less than 25%. I won't ask people to wake up, if you are reading this you are already more than capable of finding out that I speak only the hard truth. This means less than a quarter of america wanted this. This means your vote and opinions DO count. I know it is incredibly difficult to reach for and find answers in a world where your president or primary candidate throws 'fake news' in your face on a regular basis. He is actually telling the truth. When he is not telling you is that he is a primary enabler of 'fake news'. To him, only his word is law, only his opinion matters, only he deserves to be on top, and he deserves authority over all of your lives. Do the right thing, we all have a civil duty to understand our candidates to the very best of our ability. When a man has been convicted of dozens of felonies, and we tell you that this is only what we were willing to expose. You may want start believing us. The genuine facts of his past are unilaterally corrupting to our children and good people alike. Do not let the american people repeat their mistakes, force Mr. Trump to atone for his mistakes. No not empower him to sweep them under the rug for the sake of his own arrogance, because that is exactly what he is doing by trying to dismantle the CIA and FBI. These two institutions are shining examples of America's pursuit of freedom and justice. Freedom to keep billionaires from corrupting the morals of our children. Freedom to know that the rule of law is immutable, our constitution is not just a paper with fancy traditional sentiment. Even if the law may sometimes be bent for the sake of decency, forgiveness, and the pursuit of 'united we stand', our constitution cannot. Amendments require the FULL support of nearly all Americans, not 27.5% of unrestricted adults.

The devil has entered the White house!! Trump, Vance Musk , republicans and supporters!!\nTo all the decent Americans not supporting this mad men and their supporters!!\nPray like you never have before, you need Christ Jesus more than ever before as this is a fight against terrible darkness of satan in your govt!!?\n????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I live in US but I support Canadian on this. Even Trump is looking for changes, it shouldn't have been done in this rude and abrupt way.

Trudeau is one of the biggest idiots in the world. Many Canadians hate him. These comments must be monitored because I know of many Canadians that hate him. A lot of American traitors here. I am an American and I fully support President Trump and whatever he does. But I have no respect for this idiot.

I'm glad you know so much about America and the American people. We support Donald Trump 100%

Trump and Musk are TRAITORS! Arrest them and deport them to Russia as they are so keen on supporting criminal Putin. Let them go live with him. See how they like that

I supported Trump but I think he is one big mistake. Gas prices is going up not down. Every thing is going up in prices. Economy is going down.

trump is just a COMPLETE idiot .... we want CANADA as an ALLY !!! they love us & all you MAGA supporters DID THIS ! ?‍?

As a Canadian, thank you all for your support. Honestly, it's not Trudeau or any other Canadian who can do something. It's you, the Americans. Put pressure on Trump

Thanks to all The Trump Vance Supporters i hope you’re happy

While Canadians' outrage over Trump's policies is still understandable, we now witness Americans who ought to stand with their president choose to support this hypocritical person, Trudeau, who has persecuted and still persecutes many of his fellow citizens, including truck drivers and anti-vaccine activists, in the name of freedom of speech. Words cannot adequately describe such behavior. \nIn this terrible time of the U.S. national debt, everyone must be with their president and no one else.

Take the trumpers alcohol and maybe they will stop supporting Trump

Looks like America will have more Anti American sentiments not just from the Middle East. watch out America, Trump is working for Putin and he will tear your country apart. MAGA supporters don’t have that level of intelligence to comprehend what’s about to happen.

I love all of the trump supporters or bots telling us to ‘go move to Canada’ or ‘leave, then,’ not realizing that if we did, this country wouldn’t be able to sustain itself, and fall faster than their heads could spin\n\nThat level of foresight and intellect tells us exactly why they thought trump would save the economy, lol\n\nWhy do you think they went after Roe, and keep telling us to breed? They need more people paying taxes so that the rich don’t have to: they want serfs\n\nAre the libs owned yet? Are we owned? lol

BRAVO PM Trudeau!!!!!! this is fantastic that you are standing up against the inhinged criminal FELON and TYRANT!!\nDo not ever cave in to this idiot BULLY or Canada will forever regret it, trump cant be reasoned with, talked to , persueded or anything else.\nConsider CUTTING the electric power to the 3 US States, and the OIL exported to the US as well- hit HARD and don't give in! The rest of the world is BEHIND you and support you!

What a strong, fact based response. Never been more proud of Trudeau. Trump has chosen to start a trade war that is going to hurt Americans the most. Let's join hands to support local businesses by buying local when possible, even when it hurts the pocket. Standing strong with Canada ?? . We will come out strong ???

Trump supporters who are negatively affected by this will complain that the American goverment failed them. They won't say Trump. It's the American government that caused this.

Trump is so obviously a agent for Russia and a puppet for Putin. A petty school yard bully putting the world at risk.! He has the blood of many on his hands for walkng with a evil dictator supporting the deaths of many inocents in Ukraine!!! A traitor!!!!!! Impeach!!!!!!!!!!!

Go after American retailers in Canada. Go after Walmart, Home Depot, Costco and Best Buy. We also have a plethora of American restaurants in Canada, Justin should tax them all. Don't give Canada to that lunatic Trump for free, fight dollar for dollar Justin.\n\nWe also use alot of American drilling tools, equipment and machines in oil and gas. We go after all these companies and put pressure on them. Their silence is a support for Trump!!\n\nFrom now onwards, Canada should reduce her relanance on America to a mere 20% or lower. Issues like this should inspire Canadian politicians to go global and seek partners worldwide.

Because of trump our country just make an enemy with our border country. The orange ugly face must go, yes I am talking about trump and his people. We are not and will not support people allied with dictatorship like putin.

Where are all the MAGA supporters??? This thread is too reasonable and level-headed. Well, I guess they are losing steam. Trump is a bully and an embarrassment on the world stage as far as this US citizen is concerned. Where is Elon Mush? I used to have some respect for Elon, but jumping in bed with Trump is a mistake Mush will come to regret. I guess I need to protect my retirement investment portfolio - I think Trump will decimate it by destabilizing the stock market's confidence like this. sigh...

Supporting Canada from Australia. Trump's tyranny will not stand. Viva Canada!

Wonderful to hear Canada's response to the bully Trump. President Trudeau response to global issues is measured, articulate and informed compared to the ignorant, bombastic self serving purposes of Donald Duck (AKA Donald Trump/ USA president) rants!!.\n Stand strong Canada, you have leverage (higher exports of power energies) to the US with your natural resources. In Ireland we recognize a huge differential between the morals of the USA versus Canada ( but some times get confused with the accents). I am with you Canada. Every best wish with your endeavors and thank you for supporting the EU.

Oh course anti-Conservative, anti-President Trump, Liberal extremist, media outlets, politicians and supporters will paint this as a negative, as wrong, as bad etc. \n\nThey all are against President Trump and will do everything within their power to attack him and anything this administration enforces and support ANYTHING or ANYONE regardless if they are illegal aliens, Liberal politicians that embezzle and launder money to Zelenskyy that has received hundreds of billions of dollars to fight his losing war. \n\nIt’s pretty clear by their actions and reactions they careless about American citizens and are taking their Anti-America tactics to a whole new level.

Proud of you Canada! US is now officially Russian state! After 3 years of brutal war Putin is un successful to occupy the whole Ukraine, and still Ukrainians are fighting hard even with losses, but US on the other hand become a Russian state in just 3 weeks! the most powerful military and country in the world become a puppet of a Dictator! without firing a single bullet!!! Trump is the most Idiot person who ever lived, and those who support him are most than morons!

American here: I and many others do not support Trump and his fascist regime.

Trump is mental and the folks supporting him are very uneducated. Look at them at rallies and interviews, they look like they’ve never got out of their caves let alone outside of the US ?

Trump & his imbecilic red neck supporters are a global disgrace. Look at how America is treating it’s western allies, while in the same breath calling for the lifting of sanctions against Russia. Keep your eye on U.S. inflation figures & the skyrocketing cost of living for the average American person. Wake up people & stop drinking the Trump Kool-aide.

President Trudeau, thank you for speaking directly to us. There are many Americans who disagree with him and his administration. We are doing our parts here. \n\nPresident Trump and his MAGA Republicans who sold their souls to aligned with a dictator. \n\nAs for the MAGA supporters, gee thanks.

What it's about is Trumps wavering support for Ukraine.

Sane America here supporting Trudeau! I apologize for this disaster in the white house. There is no reason for this other than to line the pocket of Trump's billionaire friends.

I am absolutely go for Canada...\nAmericans must unite to pulldown Trump..hes not a good President for american People..\nSalute and our Full Support to Canada to Prime Minister Trudeau

I’m with Canada on this matter. We don’t betray our friends like that. I will commit my support on this issue by using whatever “freedom of speech” I have and by inserting my opposing view in pro-trump videos that speak ill of Canada. Thank you Trudeau, and I am sorry.

Lol this guy is a joke, trump will make America great again! Halirious how Treadu is trying to make american fearful of the tarrifs. Its no pain, no gain. America will support their own and will supercede all countries in growth.

Anti trump American is total support of Canada here! Pro EU! Anti Putin! Get it out of the White House!

PM Trudeau, this president of ours does not speak for half of our country. Many of us are sickened and disgusted by his choices. We are stuck with someone we do not want! My hope is that people will remember it is Trump making these choices. Please do not hold everything against all of the American people because we are NOT ALL supporting him.

If I see a Trump supporter on TV, expect that everything he says is praising Trump?!! Just cover your ears or change the TV channel

Canada and its people can kiss my ass! And any American supporting this fake country can kiss it too! Trump will win and America will too!

“SO TODAY DONALD TRUMP LAUNCHED A TRADE WAR” We don’t claim him! Besides his supporters!

I maybe an ignorant on politics , but what happens when USA , well not USA but the Trump administrations has caused so much damage to the country to the point where other maybe most of his allies start taking responses such as that of Canada , and escalate to the point where perhaps USA lose most of his allies at least important allies such as Canada, the support of the global geopolitics , I Maine that scenario for a moment wouldn't that give Trump an excuse to align even more openly with Putin? I mean why would Trump want that at all who knows but he is certainly aligning with Russia just not openly at least that's what a lot of these decisions he has made recently seem to suggest I mean a lot of the consequences of those decisions and acting really seem to benefit someones agenda and to me a politics ignorant seems to be Putin ... Am I too crazy for thinking and feelings like that???

Trump is a weak pos, a Russian puppet, a Manchurian man child, and a disgrace to democracy. He was elected by billionaires and supported by his cult. Vile.

We Canadians support Trump.\nTrudeau is useless.

The Smoot-Haley Tariff Act made the big depression 1930 much worse and convinced Japan and Europe to fight for resources that they needed to prosper, because nobody was trading. Why break the deal that Trump signed, with a Friendly nation, a neighbor? Because they supported Ukraine in their fight for freedom? I miss the America that stranded for universal values.

You know I'm'm reading all these comments about how much people support Canada and admire their prime minister and it makes me wonder who in America voted to give Donald Trump a 2nd term? How is it that he won the popular vote and the electoral vote? Either something is seriously wrong with our election system or Americans are bipolar!

I support Trump and I support MAGA. However a president needs to keep his word and Trump appears to have broken his word here. He asked Canada to reign in illegal immigration to the US and Canada complied. He said do something about fetanyl and Canada did. Trump said the tariff's were because Canada was not acting on these but now they have and we imposed the tariff's anyway. We look like liars and cheats. \nEven with Mexico we threatened tariffs if they didn't help with crackdown on illegal immigration, fetanyl, and drug cartels. Mexico complied and is also helping us. And we still slapped tariffs on them. We lied to Mexico too. \nAnd now we want everyone to trust us to negotiate a peaceful end to the Ukraine war with Trump threatening more sanctions on China and the EU. What the heck should they trust us and believe us after what we just did. \nWhen it comes to defining your character your willingness to keep your word overrules absolutely everything else. Our president gave his word that if these countries took certain actions there would be no tariffs. They did and now he slapped them both in the face with sanctions anyway. He broke his word. This is a dishonorable action. I hope it does not escalate from there. \nIf it was about promoting or building domestic industries, I think the Canadians could have helped us with that but now.... good luck now that bridge has been burned.

Robert De Niro’s statement on Donald is perfect. \n\n “I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men. I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty. Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly. I see an evil one. Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.” Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong. Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped. Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them. We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego. We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership. We tried to warn the world in 2016. The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination. Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world. We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags. The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior. That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse. Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously. So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America: This is our last chance. Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator. And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided. So what do we do about it? I know I’m preaching to the choir here. What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls. We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice. Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them. Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect. Let’s not talk about “democracy.” “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. Let’s talk about right and wrong. Let’s talk about humanity. Let’s talk about kindness. Security for our world. Safety for our families. Decency. Let’s welcome them back. We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.””

American here. \nWe do not support Trump. We support Canada!!
