As an American I'm 60 yrs old. And I totally agree With Canada's Prime Minister Trudeau 1000%. I never wanted Trump. And let's make this clear by all means. To those that voted for his dumb ass I hope u you got what you wanted. HE DOES NOT GIVE A CRAP BOUT AMERICA ONLY PUTIN WHO WITH TRUMP BEING THE ULTIMATE ASS KISSER TO HIM TO DESTROY OUR DEMOCRACY AND THE PEOPLE WITHIN IT. GOD HELP US ALL. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE PRETTY. TRUMP IS THE DEVIL HIMSELF.

It isn’t anti Americanism, it is pro Americanism, the US is being anti Canadian

To all Canadians, as an American, it was so refreshing to see PM Trudeau stand up to the big bully who has some type of bromance with Putin. We feel he has something he’s holding over ?’s head. We also feel our election was rigged by muskrat. We live in a Blue state, Illinois, and we will suffer some things the ? felon we withhold from us. I don’t care. We’d rather be in a blue state no matter what. Please pray for us and all Americans who despise this man. Thank you.

I am American and I stand with Donald Trump. Canada needs to shut their borders down with the fentanyl. It's killing all our people they buy. What they want and they charge us a fortune. They don't do nothing for America. Canada, does everyone should do for America? As Americans stand up for the USA thank you.

US has only one friend now - russia! I hope this is not American dream.

Americans are owned by their new King Vladimir Putin now. And China. This is all to help China and Russia. \nWhen will CNN even fkn MENTION \nTHE 200-500 THOUSAND INDIVIDUAL MILITARY GRADE WEAPONS US MANUFACTURERS SELL TO DRUG CARTELS EVERY YEAR ? \nYOUR CORRUPT OFFICIALS TAKING PART I. TRAFFICKING THE DRUGS. DID YOU EVEN REPORT THE ALABAMA CASE OF THE 5 cops and a spouse. Including the CHIEF OF POLICE Using the Evidence room as their drug supply ??\nHUH. ?\n\nCNN ????????

I hope you Americans are proud of your elected dictator has put all of us in.

A message to Trudeau. Put an export tax on the Oil and Electricity sold to the United States. Open up new European Markets for Oil and Natural Gas product and sell directly to Europe and Japanese markets. China needs oil, there is plenty of market around the world for our products. The Tariff's imposed by Trump is only going to make product to the US more expensive for their own citizens, and with Tariff's on all American imports, if they can't make it, or they don't have the raw materials to make it themselves, they will have to pay more. It is not necessary to impose Tariff's on USA Products to penalize Canadians, but Canadians will find new markets to replace the US, and we won't even notice it happened. We have alternatives. The southern islands are great vacation locations, and with the weather disasters they have suffered over the past few years, they could use the tourist support to help rebuild, and, their people are friendly and don't carry guns.

This is how a President is SUPPOSED to act. PRESIDENTIAL. I am embarrassed to be an American during these times and think our entire administration is despicable. We will be visiting Canada in our RV on our way to Alaska, and I hope you don't hate us just because we're American!

I'm American. Don't worry about us. Do what you gotta do. We will still love you.

It makes perfect sense because Donald Trump is a Nazi and a Nazi supporter that will turn the US into an axis power. As if our reputation wasn't bad enough now America will be the most hated country in the world and it's all thanks to Republicans and Maga Republicans who should now ALL consider themselves traitors to the flag. If you support Donald Trump you are a coward, a xenophobic sycophant, a bigot, a white supremacist, and as i stated earlier, a traitor. Treason is punished by death in some lands. The American people won't allow this dictator for long. Even if it causes a Civil War within our own country. Trump will not last a full 4 years in the Nazi House. The people will end up getting tired of it, and then Maga will know what it's like to fear for their lives. Its going to unfold terribly for our country and I hope all of our allies will forgive us after the Trump Nazi Regime is removed.

Excuse me? Anti-Americanism? Consider yourselves boycotted. Some nerve, lady- and having the gaul to do it from your perch in our country? Your people voted for a monster. Look at yourself in the mirror instead of projecting your crap onto us.

Trump you sleazy scum receptacle, now inflation is going to make things less affordable and then your going to blame it on Biden and on us for not working hard enough. Is this what you meant when you promised lowering prices? You better have a good apology to the American people

I don’t stand with anyone except the UNITED STATES Of AMERICA! But I want to make something very clear. We just went through 4 years of absolute hell with The Biden administration!! No way around it. And the democrats will do anything to make trump look bad no matter if it hurts our country or not. They simply hate the fact that the checks and the cross dressing and what ever nasty crap they spent our money on . They won’t talk about that! But what I want to know is why we aren’t saying ok Canada we spend trillions militarily protecting you. And the won’t even come up to the 2% on defense they lied about participating in. Why should we pay for everything then they want to tax us?? Should America not get something for protection of a country?? Why do we need to pay there bills? Why should we pay for a war we’re not in? Ukrainian war Americans pay?? No! Canada dosent defend themselves Americans pay?? Then when we tax them like they tax us they want to slap a gift horse in the mouth??

As an American it's time for us to grow a fucking spine we dont need your Maple syrup it wasn't a problem when biden raised the prices and started using tax payer money for drag queen shows in Guatemala ???

It's not the Anericans doing this, it's Trump & his cowardly flunkie Republican stooges. Many of us Americans despise Trump!

Be proud Canada and Mexico because so many of us Americans support you and know you got to do what you got to do. All because of this Fu ken Jackass idiot in the White House. Stand up, Be Proud and resist this Donkey and his spineless republican administration.

### **Americans, Wake Up Before It’s Too Late!** \n \nDo you realize what’s happening? **Donald Trump is pushing the world toward World War III.** This is not a conspiracy, this is not speculation—this is reality. A man who **wears two diapers and has little time left to live** doesn’t care what happens after he’s gone. He has no vision for the future, because in his mind, **there is no future.** \n \nThis is just the beginning. **If you think things are bad now, imagine what’s coming next.** Trump and his billionaire allies, including **Elon Musk**, are playing a dangerous game, one that could **end civilization as we know it.** These are not leaders—they are reckless, power-hungry individuals with no regard for the world that you and your children will inherit. \n \n? **Trump must be impeached before he takes us all down with him!** \n? **Musk must be held accountable before his reckless ambitions destroy what’s left of our planet!** \n \nThis is not about politics. This is about survival. **The future of humanity depends on our ability to stop them now!**

The significance that PM Trudeau addressed him as Donald go over so many heads. It is greatly appreciated that the PM also acknowledged that Americans will be hurt by this as well, especially those of us who didn’t vote for Trump.

As an American we don't need your Canadian garbage us Americans got us Americans.

To the world- please help us!!!\nAn American citizen

Why can’t we have a real leader like this! Instead we have a belligerent egomaniac Russian asset as president. He shouldn’t have even had 10% of the vote. Y’al knew better but didn’t vote better because of many superficial reasons, among them, sexism and racism. Now all of us Americans are losing. I’d love to see the day when we as Americans can come together as ONE & stand up against people like Trump that are harming all Americans. United we stand. Divided, ALL of us fall. Some of y’al thought it wouldn’t impact you even if his policies impacted others (and not you) so you didn’t care and voted for public enemy #1 despite all the warnings given. Now here we are. I really truly hope that America has a whole will look at ourselves in the mirror at what we’ve allowed to be, and change our ways by coming together as one country that wants to see Americans do well and be good and be able to take care of their families, regardless of race or sex, or gender, immigration status or any of the superficial barriers.

I recall a date now known universally as 9-11. Aircraft bound for USA landing in my home province because US airspace was shut down. 17 large aircraft parked in St. John's (where I live), and 27 parked in Gander (much smaller town, but has a big airport). I've lost track of whatever other aircraft had to find a home and a home for their passengers. Today, over two decades later, this is a stain on the US executive. Not Americans, the executive office. Congress took a powder. The executive office should represent Americans, but it doesn't. I feel sorry for the American citizens who will suffer.

Anti-Americanism? What???? That’s totally crap! It’s the right answer to your Pig IlliterateTrump President Threatening who are supposed your allieds; you declared war to the Free World, not us! ??

This is not about tariffs - this is about attacking your allies all over the world snd making them an us weaker and siding with Putin. Tearing down all the American institutions and siding with Putin. If it’s not clear by now, the horrible fact is: Trump is a Russian agent and asset, pure and simple. That is all.

IF YOU THINK THAT SCARES US THEN THINK AGAIN AMERICANS ARE TOUGH WE WILL MAKE IT WITHOUT CANADA, YOU NEED US MORE THAN WE NEED YOU

Canadian here(Quebec) I feel sad for all the Whiskey industries in Kentucky, those workers didn't deserved the counter-effects of the tarifs. Everything can be done with respect & diplomacy, but it's not the road President Trump took. Fellow Americans, I am very sorry about that, rest assured that us here, we make the difference between your President & all of you.

Michigander and US Citizen since BIRTH. Canada is our best ally, what the actual F? We support your decision Canada!!! I've never been more embarrassed to be an American.

As an American, I’m SO sorry that Trump is doing this. MANY of us did NOT vote for him and are HORRIFIED by the way he’s rapidly dismantling our democracy. ?

So basically, he is telling the American people that Trump is a bad President and that the US was better off under a walking corpus (Biden).

The problem Mr. Trudeau...is that 50% of Americans will never hear your common sense arguments and plea for working together because of Fox News and a couple sites called Truth Social and X. They will only hear that Trump says you are treating us unfairly and that illegal fentanyl is an issue. It's a made up issue. This is what Trump does.

Dear PM Trudeau. We Americans understand how and why you are doing what you are doing due to the stupid decisions of our dictator musk/trump. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, Mexico and the EU. God bless all of us as we deal with the aftermath of trump/musks BS decisions.

WOW! A real leader, actually leading his country with its best interest in mind! I am so ashamed to be an American right now. Can someone please save us!!!! HELP!!!!!

I hope the Prime minister reads these comments. If he doesn't then let others from around Canada read these messages and pass them on to everyone in Canada until it reaches every leader in Canada. Prime Minister Trudeau and all those who lead our provinces. When you come out to talk to all the Canadian, the Americans and all of our allies around the world. Please keep reminding President Trump. That Canada is still not and will never be for sale, no matter what. And don't remind him once. Keep telling him that everything you go on camera. And keep saying it until Trump finally gets it. Greenland you do the same about your country. And you too keep telling him this no matter how it takes. Keep sending him this message even after he gets tired of hearing it. Let us show this low-life criminal what we say and do to him and anyone else who abuse their power and authority.

I am an American living in the deep blue Northeast US and I stand with you, Mr. Trudeau! Feel free to annex us if you want. I'll help!

what's going on in the US is just messed up. I know the American people don't stand behind this, but they elected this dangerous clown. Own your mistakes and make things right, you're responsible.

God save us. These are terrible times. The American people have elected a villain.

Canadian brothers and sisters, please know this isn't what many of us Americans want. We have elections every 4 years. Please do your best not to hate us forever because of this. Please don't lose sight that this Trump era will pass.

This is a clear indication that the US is partnering with Russia and is now part of the Evil Empire. I guess Americans need to start learning Russian now.

As an American, I've been trying to work out in Alberta as a Pipe Insulator for over five years with no response, but you guys let in other foreign nations. How about you give the people in the US citizenship if we are seeking refuge. I want out of this crappy over priced country more than you know, and all of my Canadian friends have way more respect, values and integrity that the people in the 40's 50's 60..etc used to have in this country. We love you Canada!

As an American ?? I 100% stand with Trump. America first. You do you Canada and we will do us.

Sorry as a American this is our life's at risk .keep your proud stance.proud stance for Canada.We are in tears losing our great country to criminals God Bless Canada we our scared stressed for our social security, health care and our anger at the thugs taking away our relationship our fear to keep breathing and enjoy our past relationships Thankyou for your love to all people God is good God help us !???????? Jim

I’m an American & I just can’t believe this is happening to us & you! I’m so ashamed of this human running our country! I’m so sorry……

We Stand With Canada. Shame on our idiot of a president. Selling us out for RUSSIA ??‍♂️ stay safe my fellow Americans

Crazy to see how relations have broken down between our two countries and sad for all my great American friends and thanks for your support but anyone with half a mind could see this coming. So many Americans, even republican voters, now waking up to the cold reality of a treasonous, mad president allied to a Russian mad man, isolating the US from the rest of the world. He was basically elected to repaire the economy. Ha! Nice going you orange freak. The stock market is crashing like a Trump casino. You bankrupt two casinos and now you are doing the same to America. Oh! and I hope you're listening to Trudeau's speech, this is what a real leader sounds like. CANADA STRONG AND FREE!!!

I want to become a Canadian (america has gone 2shiz..it was in the process of goin 2shiz 8 yrs ago which led 2 most of america 2 make sure a 2nd round of idiocy will not hapoen again.. that is until 4 months ago, where the majority of Americans had a contagious case of amnesia..which in result the consequence of this HUGE mistake a majority of Americans made in November is going to cost us immensely..strap up and boot up ppl its going 2get more than bumpy BRACE URSELVES

I'm american and no I didn't vote for this big bumbling bafoon. He isn't a leader of anything but what he wants. I stand firmly with Canada & ukraine. I truly believe God is with us.❤❤❤

There ARE winners in a trade war. Many Americans want literally nothing to do with Canada after the booing of our national anthem. Not our President, but our anthem. Some will never forgive. We will endure without Canada, say hi to Xi for us.

American from New Mexico .... you are so very reasonable,,,, most Americans don't want this and we understand that you have to take the position you have taken ... many of us are already sick and tired of the bully and his chum in the White House ... stay strong and do what you have to for your people ... great respect for you ... J'ai plusieurs cousins dans Quebec et je sais que ceci n'est pas bon pour eux aussi .... nous ne sommes pas vos enemis ... ils habite la Maison Blanche ...Courage it bonne chance

Who cares? Seriously Of course he's upset. Canada relies heavily on the U.S., with about 75% of its exports going to America, making us a major contributor to their GDP. Instead of making other countries richer, we should focus on manufacturing and building here at home. This would keep more money circulating in the U.S., boosting economic growth and strengthening our own GDP. A stronger domestic economy means more jobs, higher wages, and greater financial stability for Americans. Regardless of who’s president, we need fair trade policies that benefit the U.S. just as much as our partners.
