Canadian P.M. Trudeau and his government are supporting their citizens and businesses while my fascist government is throwing its citizens and businesses under the bus. I am a proud American but I support Canada. Be tough, be strong, be safe.

I'm an American veteran who served for 40 years in the military, and I'm proud I did. But this thing that's in the White House makes me ashamed to be an American. Please don't think real Americans support this ass. It's the slow witted people who only come out of the hills when they want to attack our Capital. We apologize for these people. Please pray for us. It's in God's hands now.

Trump is a national disgrace. He needs to go... And as a once proud American, I also support our friends in Canada.?

I just became a naturalized American citizen three weeks ago and frankly I wish I didn't. I'm embarrassed by the behavior of the Trump administration and not proud of being part of this America at all.

There you go America !!!\n\nListen to a Strong, Young, well Articulated Prime Minister tell you how Americans will pay the price on thos trade war.\n\nWe Canadians will also pay the price, so we buy Canadian products \nand will never buy US again.\n\nI am so proud of our Prime Minister.

We the American People STAND PROUDLY WITH \nCANADA ! F Trump ! \n????☮️

Even as an American, I am proud to think one American in particular watched Connor score his Overtime goal, only to realize he had lost his first stand off with Canada in such a public, humiliating way! Now to see the man his wife made the moves on address both nations with more toughness and intelligence than he ever showed has got to hurt him real bad! Well done Canada! All the love from your American fan and supporter! ??❤️??

Proud to be Canadian, nothing against Americans but you chose Trump while all his actions to come were on the table

Never been less proud to be an American. Hopefully we have hit rock bottom, but I am pretty sure Trump and cronies are not done raping and pillaging the country.

With Trump as my president. I'm proud to be an American. I don't care if things go up because in the long run it's for the good of the country......OUR COUNTRY!

As a Canadian I am proud of my country and stand by all Americans who denounce Trump. ❤

I’m American ?? and very proud but not proud anymore.\nI’m standing up for Canada ?? Canada ?? Canada ?? !!!!

Proud Canadian here. So, we all know, including the Americans, that trump is a moron. In my books, he is the economic equivalent of Hitler, and no different from Putin. But my question is, how do you Americans who voted for this bully, feel now? I get it, a lot of American are against what he is doing. But the majority of you voted him in.

As a proud American I stand with Canada.

The sane Americans stand with Canada. Proud of our Canadian friends who are standing up to the bully who occupies the people's house. Canada, the new leader of the free world!

American people if you want to be proud and free you have to revolt your nazi goverment.

I am a proud American. But I absolutely don't like what's happening?

So proud of Justin and proud to be Canadian. I no longer purchase American goods, will not buy from American stores, and will not travel to the US. ?????

Strong words from a strong and proud Canadian leader. I’m boycotting EVERYTHING American. F Trump F America.

As a U.S. Army veteran who proudly served this country, my love for America and unwavering respect for the Constitution drive me to speak out. What Trump did in that meeting with Zelensky wasn’t strength, it was weakness disguised as tough talk. Pressuring Ukraine to negotiate from a position of desperation only empowers Russia and signals to the world that U.S. commitments mean nothing.\n\nTrue leadership isn’t about catering to dictators or throwing allies under the bus. It’s about standing firm for democracy, national security, and the principles this country was built on. If we let billionaires and politicians treat global conflicts like a business deal, we’re betraying everything generations of Americans fought and died for. I won’t stay silent while our country’s integrity is sold off for personal gain. America deserves better.

MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, if America toughens up like Poland, they wouldn’t do this. Shoutout to my family who came here legally 100 years ago and worked their behinds off so I can be in the position I am in now where I am in school for my doctorate. I hope I’m making you all proud up above ❤ My family came here with the American dream, and I’m delivering it ?

I am an immigrant. My parents used their own money for hotels while we bought a house. We go ZERO assistance. I am proud to be American. I support LEGAL immigration.

If they hate our country, find another. Proud to be Americans!! One nation under God.

Dear bodacious,\nI totally agree with you. My Mother was Hungarian and she applied for citizenship with my Dad’s help because he had served in WW2 , and he was an American citizen.\nThey did everything the legal way. Mom took classes. Learned English. She was so proud of being naturalized as an American citizen.\nWhy can’t people obey our laws? They have respect for our Sovereignty or all the people, soldiers et al who fought for our freedom to exist and evolve as a nation.\nI agree with Bllood, Sweat, and Fears as well!\nThe President’s Cabinet are working well together: Kash Patel will move the FBI agents out to work the field of our country….hunting down terrorists and criminals. Trafficking in drugs/ sex/ slave labor.\nObama/Biden disobey existing laws. Hope all the stolen money gets frozen by the DOJ

American needs only Chinese and Chinese plastics products Trump love to made china ?? he proud of china and money he no human heart because what he said to Ukraine ?? ? I am not Indian but I am tried Trump he is not good President

To the left they all got to go I’m a black American and I’m proud

What I don’t get is America isn’t against immigrants coming to America (the legal way) but people want to protest coming here illegally and are upset people are getting deported because they didn’t come the legal way. I work with a ton of guys that came to America the legal way and are all for deporting the illegals back to where they came from. The legal immigrants work hard and pay taxes and illegals don’t pay taxes they get benefits and haven’t paid their dues like the legal immigrants had to do to get in. Taking care of illegals takes away from Americans getting the help they need and we have to pay taxes. They protest and wave the Mexico flag holding signs saying “Immigrants built America” and $hit on the things America has done for them. If they built America and are so proud to be from Mexico then why don’t you build Mexico up like you say you did in America. If it’s so great why are you coming to America illegally and running from your country. Do you think protesting and blocking streets and highways is going to get you anywhere with Trump and do you think your going to win the American people over by pissing them off doing stupid things like blocking highways and Streets. You don’t win people over by pissing them off and you don’t win Americans over Shitting on America waving your flag when this country has done more for you then your own country. If you came here illegally and broke the law then you should’ve thought about that before doing it and being put on the ICE list.Go back and by all means come back when your legally allowed and while you wait for that to happen and the papers to go through build up your own Country!

I'm so Happy and Proud that you americans dont tollerate any of this shit.\nDon't let them ruin your country like they ruining mine

I hope CNN is on the America’s side of this… me and my family were once an immigrant who went through due process and with God’s love, we are proud to be American. But I also pray for these families who are truly looking for a better life..

If Americans are laughing or proud about their president I hope they understand that those sentiments might change drastically. It's not a threat by any means, I am all for pacific means to resolve conflicts but if push comes to shove and sovereignty has been flirted as leverage, Americans should realize that they cannot sit happy and still.

I am an American and not proud to say that. I am ashamed of this country and what we have become. To all Canadians, I am Sorry!

There’s nothing Canada can do when they have a surplus of 150 billion with US so if US put terrace at 25% and can put Terrace at 25% then Trump put it at 100 who’s gonna feel the pinch everything that has American they have gas they have wood they have all the minerals of Canada has they don’t need Canada for anything. And you think that I’m proud of American. I’m actually Canadian but I’m a realist needs America America doesn’t need Canada.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, merci beaucoup! Your address to our proud nation Saturday night helped my family and me feel safer. It's much like during COVID-19 when you were there for Canadians at every step, every turn with initiatives and concrete help. Too bad we cannot procure masks and vaccines to ward off Trump-25. You, your Ministers and Premiers are working so hard trying to reason with a lunatic addicted to power and chaos and inform Americans of the facts. With prorogation, there have been no Poilièvre shenanigans to waste time on and your complete focus has been, as always, on protecting Canadians. For this I thank you again and tell you how much you will be missed in our household. Forgive a personal note: I hope you and Mme Grégoire will find your way back to each other when you can be a family without the heavy burden of this job, a job I know you love. And very personally - I shall miss the handsome, capable, well-spoken man of stature and intellect who also happens to be my Prime Minister. Vraiment!

Very proud of President Trump for doing what he promise to the American people.

Proud to be a Canadian and proud of Justin Trudeau for standing up to a bully. No question it is going to be a bumpy road but I would rather be a Canadian then an American knowing Trump is in charge and doesn't care what he does to his people because he will have a job, a roof over his head, groceries on his table and gas in his motorcade. Impeach him before he does irreparable harm to the world. He doesn't care about you only your vote. He should never be in charge of the nuclear codes!!!

Too many different Black in America. \n\nThe Black Americans are known as Negro during the President Abraham Lincoln. \n\nAmerican Negro are once upon a time a popular breed in America. The Negro are proud and stand Tall. Now Negro are no longer popular as they are infiltrated by a list of black all over tarnishing the name of the Black Americans. \n\nPresident Trump ... get rid of the uncultured Black that created unrest, protests, gangsterism, murder, rapists, drug addicts..... name it all infected until Americans not to take action and suffers for their deeds. \n\nWell done, MAGA Team. \n\nGod Save America\n\nLet the True Blood Black America stand Tall in America.

Meanwhile im over here singing proud to be an american for the first time ever.

Proud American ?? voted for this keep it up ?

Proud of CDR Schilling, she's a true American Patriot

Great for the American people, you can be proud to have a real leader. Like this Columbian clown president, we also have weak socialist leader in Canada. He had to resign after getting punked by Trump.

Donald Trump has disgraced America! He's destroying everything we were once proud to be: American. \nTrump's tariffs hurt us!\nF. Donald Trump

Make Americans Proud Again! \n\nWorld leaders still under the influence of Biden White House. Thats a fast adjustment. ??

All this illegal immigrant mess has to stop. My question is.. why we do not take care of our homeless people, our veterans, the drug issue, mental health in our country and we let the other countries resolve their issues. We cannot use our tax dollars to fix other peoples problems we have our own. CNN, MNSN are so ridiculous and indecent with Americans.!! Why i dont see images of all the homeless people sleeping in the subway.. i guess there are no shelters, debit cars and meals for them!! Ahh and before you said anything im a Venezuelan legal migrant now proud american!!

So happy to be a proud AMERICAN it’s time for yall to go back to where you came from and get taxed to the fullest extent please leave so our country can be great again

I’m proud of Americans. Every news channel covering this paints it like it’s a bad thing then you read the comments and everybody is celebrating this. This is what America voted for, GET UM OUT!

A circus, this makes every American proud.

I don’t know who needs to know this but as of 2022 if I’m not mistaken backed by the federal banks and the global banks, Mexico is not or no longer considered a third world country for the record it’s considered an upper business class country and it’s on the rise. It’s number five in the world for importing the exporting Number one is the USA ?? . I just wanna let that sink in. I really do hope that President Trump and the president of Mexico I hope they both come to an agreement because it will not be beneficial for both parties. At least the one who’s gonna fill it. The most will be US. It’s just gonna force Mexico to look elsewhere not to mention Mexico was back by the US dollar to an extent, and it also has the back of the euro force along with the Chinese currency Mexico forced to be reckoned with not to mention all the car companies that are being Located in Mexico cars that enter in and exit Mexico in the car market not to mention Mexico now has the biggest cobalt mining probably in the world if I’m not mistaken Mexico is now in demand. Mexico knows this now but it’s not stronger than the US but if the US no longer cooperates with Mexico in Mexico, no longer cooperates with the US well it’s gonna be pretty sad not to mention the amazing history they have Like when Mexico along with Brazil defended the US when they were crippled by Japan and when Mexico went to help liberate during the Nazi invasion in Austria, Mexico has a great history of warfare and defending this country as well. I’m proud to be American and I love my Mexican heritage. I just hope it doesn’t go too far

If there was no demand there would be no supply. Fix the root problem. Americans are addicts be it food, drugs, porn, guns, mass shootings, conspiracy theories, being proud to be uneducated the list goes on and on.

Everyone here hates Canada, it’s so sad to see, I’m an American who used to live in Compton USA, and let me tell you the gang violence was very real my uncle Rick was killed by a drive by incident while buying a pack of cigarettes and he wasn’t even the target. He walked right into a gang war, because of this we left and moved to Canada, best decision of my life because now I live in Mississauga, and here I don’t have to worry about the gang violence and drive by shootings, I can raise my two girls here in safety. I love America and I am a proud American but I would never ever want to live there after everything me and my family went through. F*%c that. I’m happy living in Canada. Best country in the world. But that’s just my opinion. You don’t have agree with me
