Between Friday's disaster with Zelensky and today's imposition of tariffs on Canada, the evidence is clear. Trump's America has joined Russia in an alliance intended to demolish the world's democracies.

Being an American, I am EMBARRASED by what Trump has done. This is NOT how you treat a friend like Canada, and a partner in this world. Trump is an a$$hole and he must be stopped! \nI will consider you a friend and ally forever and what is being done makes absolutely NO sense! Orange Felon is not making sense! He's delusional and stupid. Go Canada!! Don't take this crap from Orange Felon! We'll take care of that POS POTUS and make him pay dearly for what he has done!

Maybe canada should annex america and kick trump to the curb

I will happily pay a little extra to support Canada. Can’t support dictatorship. Good luck Canada

Trudumb, a friend dose not take and never return generosity. The current administration is just demonstrating how much of the American tax dollars go to Canada. About $300B, sounds like you all get more than any US state. \n\nFYI: Canada has the best fence in the world…it’s called the United States of America!!!

As a humiliated American, I stand with Canada.

Yes Canada!!!!!!! Stand up against evil!!!!

Trump is an idiot. American here and I support Canada ??. Trump does not speak for all Americans

I L❤ve Canada ?? and Canadians are reasonable intelligent people across the board. Thank you Canada ?? for standing up to Fascism all over the world ?

I fucking love you, Canada. So refreshing to see a well-spoken and rational president on that side of the Atlantic Ocean.

I hope of you Americans that stand with Canada voted for Kamala....i'll wait, As the popular and Electoral college would suggest otherwise.

Full support for people of Canada and Present Trudeau❤❤❤ Shame on trump and his puppets!!!

I hope Trump's gameplan isn't weakening Canada to aid an invasion.\n\nI think, for now, Trudeau needs to stay

As an American I support Canada

Americans stand with Canada, not bullies ? ??

Wow! Sweden here. I stand by Canada. This is how a true leader speaks. What Trump is doing is irrational and he still don’t seem to understand how tariffs works. He’s hurting his own people with yet another effort to break down all alliances around the world. He threatens Europe, Palestine, Greenland, Mexico and many more. He cuts funding for Ukraine and aline with Russia. He managed in a month to crash so many lives in his own country and do not keep promises from his campaigns. How can one man destroy so much….

Aussie here. We are so sickened watching what’s going on in the US. It’s terrifying how fast Trump has turned against his allies. Canada, we Aussies love you and support you! Thank you for standing strong. To our American friends, keep fighting, keep protesting!

Now this is what an intelligent president look and sound like. Mr. Trudeau may I please be granted residency in Canada until this mess is over? Please and thank you.

Guaranteed there is more drugs, guns and illegal migrants crossing the US/Canada border going northwards into Canada, than going southwards into USA.

Ehhh Canada closest friend is a stretch

More lies by CNN and Canada. Trump has never sided with Russia. Not now or back in 2016 when our American government tried to persecute Trump for collusion with Russia. Canada should own up to the fact that they owe American people 200 billion dollars a year because they can't support there own country. They let illegals and drugs pour in.

Canada should do 100% tariffs. Counter 25% shows weakness.

Baltimore Stands With Everyone, Except President Tramp And Putang. Baltimore Stands With Canada. Slava Ukraine ??

Trump's tariffs against Canada are arguably ill-conceived. But it doesn't change the fact that Trudeau is Canada's plague. Cute speech though. Self-righteous and rife with hypocrisy ? \n\nLove to the Canadians ?? from an American ?? who voted Trump

We don’t want it either! We all admire Canada—thank YOU for standing up to that bloated orange sad excuse of a “president” we have.

I hope Canada abide by climate initiatives that Biden put into place the most important thing right now for our planet is climate change and avoiding nuclear war and if Donald Trump doesn’t wake up or die, we’re gonna lose our planet!

Ukraine, Europe, Mexico , Canada and the lists of enemies now rising .... Hmmn, Americans the Bible is now playing out. \n\nThe Scarlet (Red) Party would soon sink you if you don't wake up.\n\nTariff war is a pretext, DT wants Canada and Mexico.

You’re out right lying bring our industry back home to America we don’t need your Canadian crap. The way you treated my native ancestors were awful the way you treated the truck drivers were awful you’re awful. Bring our industry home. Buy American Canada. Keep your crap. You spewing fear you want us to be afraid like you control your citizens out of fear yuck.

European here. Nice to see that Canada is still a great smart country we are all happy to be friends with; what really worries us is the country below Canada, since it is run by a crazy old man and his cult of bigotry, ignorance, lies, autocracy and pseudoscience. What have you done? You liberated us from the Nazis in WWII just to vote for their American counterpart less than one century later. I am very sorry for all the good guys who lost their lives only to bring Mr Trump to the White House.

Farewell Canada! The future is with BRICS+ and BRI Peace & Prosperity for All ?

CANADA has tariff United States for decades. Only when we do it back to them do they write. Sit down governor.

Canada saved over 400 Americans from the Irans regime .. 34 planes laned during 911 in Newfoundland.. fought in Iraq together .. Donald is a weak man desperately pretending to be strong, a small-minded person acting as if he's important. He's devoid of morals but pretends to be righteous. He's the aggressor always playing the victim. Deep down, he’s just a coward.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO PROUD TO BE A CANADIAN!!! Thank God for our AMAZING LEADERS who are standing up TOGETHER for this beautiful and KIND country we call Canada ?? ??????????????

Trump wants to weaken all the countries which are against the russian invasion of Ukraine. Enough said, the guy is a traitor. Stay strong Canada ✊??????

Good job Canada!

I disagree! Donald is not a “very smart guy.” Canada, do not give into America. Don’t let Trump win.-Signed an American.

Love his speech, but tbh facts don't bother a Trump.. idiots are not open to arguments and facts its just about feelings\n\nNgl, if the US don't want Canadas resources, here in Europe we would like to buy it ?

I stand with Canada ?? - what a damn shame MAGA

As an American, I stand with Canada 100%. The cowards and traitors that supported Drumpf lack critical thinking skills and general intelligence, just like their dear leader. They are a brainwashed cult. Even when Drumpf smacks them in the face, they want more. The largest cult movement in the world. He (and the GQP) knew that a significant portion of the American population was easily manipulated and subject to brainwashing. So, they took full advantage of that.

Thank you Canada!! Fuck Trump!!

I can see a few Americans here happy that Canada will be a 51 state. This is not a way to approach a friend to take over his house. There were other ways to do it long before and I assure you there were, maybe, doable but force is not one of them. You seed hate you get hate. What a mess.

A great speech from a great leader of a great country - Love from Germany - I stand with Canada and Ukraine

BAN TRUMP FROM CANADA AND THE G7! YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE!

I stand with Canada

Hell, Canada doesn't even need to place a tariff on Teslas....no self-respecting Canadian or really no self-respecting human wants a Swastikar, even the new model SS, at any price.

I remember worse relationships between the US and Canada. Did the Canadians conquer Washington at that time?

Bravo Canada! Straight from the heart. ♥️

Vive le Canada!

Mexico supports our Canada brothers and sisters

well done Canada
