We Americans do not want this, please have mercy on us! Most of us did not vote for this.

And the Crap Show begins.. The American People will suffer heavily from the influence of other countries which will weaken America's economy. Thanks MAGA votes, who believe your current President in the matter of less than 50 days in office America is doing marvelous (the best it has ever been and the best you have ever seen). Guess Kamala wasn't lying after all..

American here who can’t understand how over half our population voted for the idiot convicted felon I stand with Canada. By the way, would you consider annexing Alaska as your new province?

American people vote for this, this is only the beginning

If all americans are against trump, who voted him!?!

I'm an american, many of us did not vote for this, regardless we stand with Canada.

America voted for this… and the democrats helped by providing the worst presidential candidate ever smh… the majority of Americans voted for Trump and this is obviously what we wanted ??‍♂️

Oh America why did you vote for Donald Trump. Now I'm afraid Canada will close the boarder to Americans just like the other countries that does not want American tourists. America will be the most hated country very soon. Hate to be an American right now?

I’m so ashamed of my country right now. I did not vote for Dump. \n\nWe will end up with no allies and the American dollar is already depreciating.

This is what Americans voted for out of pure racism.

Bravo, Canada! Americans brought this on themselves (and sadly, the rest of the world). I hold every person who voted for Trump PERSONALLY responsible for every vile deed committed by their cult leader.

As an American I am SO HAPPY you are standing up to this craziness! Don’t back down!! And those who voted for this in the US will feel what they have done. Keep going Canada ??

❤ Canada. We, the sane, non-MAGAt Americans, also do not want this, nor did we vote for this because we did NOT vote for an obviously mentally ill, functionally illiterate, elderly man with signs of dementia, whose main function besides destroying our country to enrich himself & all of his millionaire & billionaire buddies, is acting as a useful idiot pain for Putin. We, the Americans who value what our country has stood for, whose fathers & and grandfathers fought in both World Wars, who lived in the time before all of the current vaccines existed, who believe in equality, who value the immigrants--documented or undocumented, who believe our country should welcome them & make their paths to citizenship easier because we understand how our country & economy benefit from them living in this country, who understand & value the roles that the WHO, NATO, & the United Nations have played in keeping us ALL safer for many decades bc we REMEMBER or were told by our parents, what it was like b4 those things existed, who either lived thru The Great Depression or had parents & grandparents did, understand what the economic crisis that Trump & his band of greedy ahole idiots are deliberately causing. WE didn't do this. WE fought against it. We tried to explain & warn people about what is happening & what will happen, but you didn't EFFING LISTEN. WE are ANGRY. WE will NOT help any of you who caused this & this includes every MSM who is too afraid to speak truth to power. Start doing that NOW. Start with THIS: It's called The Gulf of Mexico, NOT the Gulf of America. Eff every Trump supporters & GOP politician--at EVERY level of government. Trump can TRY to hide what he's doing to the economy in his stupid reports. Do you honestly believe the average American pays attention to those? No, most are too busy worrying over how to pay their bills & all they'll see is that their situation is getting worse. They can't find a job. They can't afford gas. They can't afford groceries. You can't cover any of that up. WE stand with Canada, Ukraine, the EU, & every other ally nation. Not Russia. Putin can go straight to hell & the sooner the better.

So embarrassed to be an American! I didn’t vote for Trump! I knew his Presidency AGAIN ….. would be a shit show! So sorry for Canada! Retired! Can’t afford food now! Six months from now everything will be unaffordable! Thank the maga idiots for voting him in! Personally I think he and Elon have rigged it!

Pretext? Like attacking Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit? Surely not.\nRemember that only 33% voted for Trump: 67% of voters DID NOT: he does not represent us! Most Americans have honor and loyalty and respect our Constitution, laws, and allies, so I hope that once this very dark page in our history is past, we can again become a sane, democratic and lawful nation.

I’m an American who voted BLUE. We love Canada and support your actions.

I wonder if the millions of Americans who voted for this sick man, Trump, hold the same hostile views toward Canada and Mexico.

Most American's never wanted this, just the idiots who voted for him....hit the red states first

I have voted for Trump 3 times. Canada has over charged the USA through tariffs for years. I know you will miss the money but just suck it up like we have had to do. Pres Trump is for the American ppl and all his decisions are directed that way. For the ppl from our country that have commented on this statement and love Canada move there, right away.

Canadians, just remember Trump won the election with 49.9% of the vote so 50.1% of American voters did not vote for him! Half of us Americans are still sane...

As a none american, it's mind-boggling how ignorant and stupid the american people who voted for wannabe dictator Trump as your president.

Every American with a functioning brain stands with Canada. Screw Trump and I was fooled into voting for him

Trump is a total disaster for all Americans except the $Billionaires. But it wasn't the $Billionaires who voted Trump into office, it was the millions of MAGA Morons, the very people who are now losing their jobs in thousands as Musk takes an axe to everything. Tariffs on America's main trading partners means that the American consumers, many of them MAGA Morons, are going to be hit a lot harder in the pocket as prices on their goods rocket. I only feel sorry for the Americans, who saw this coming and voted against Trump. For all the MAGA Morons, don't cry help, you brought this on yourself !!! Here in the UK we support Canada 100% !!!

As an anxious autistic British American I will always stand with my fellow Canadian friends this is beyond diabolical I’m so disgusted for the people that voted for this convicted felon president ??‍♀️

Trudeau cares more about me and my fellow Americans than Trump does!! Trump needs to take a page (maybe an encyclopedia set) on leadership from Trudeau! Notice that he is doing all he can to protect Canadian jobs and people during this trade while Trump is firing hundreds of thousands of American workers, causing the layoffs of more, and doesn't give a hoot about tanking the economy! On behalf of those who did not vote for Trump thank you Canada and Trudeau. I am sorry .

as an american, i’m so scared. please do not abandon us. we are living paycheck to paycheck— and that’s those of us with jobs. we’ve put our heart and souls into voting over the past 9 years and they haven’t counted in decades. \n\ncorporate entities are running our country— politicians are no longer working for the people. we need help.

America, don't think that Canada, Mexico, Europe and more and more countries only hold dictator Trump and his dictator wanna-bee Vance responsible for this! More than half of the American people voted for him and therefore also for their backward stupid policies!

I'm so embarrassed to be American. I'm angry at the millions who were dumb enough to vote even one time for a FOOLISH con man who's compromised by Russia and can't even read. I'm extremely proud of Canada and Trudeau. I hope somehow the president of the US and his echo chamber are removed from office. We'll never make it 4 years.

Trump is using fentanyl as an weak excuse to turn on our allies. And us Americans have to pay. Thank all the trumpers thought he had their back who voted him in office.

It’s really annoying that CNN continues to babble on instead of letting Trudeau finish his press conference and then proceed with their responses. Our country is in the hands of a madman along with Musk and other cowardly Republicans who are in office. For all of those who voted for Trump, wait till energy and other costs rise, but it’s a shame we will all suffer as a result. Canada is our friend I am ashamed right now to call myself an American.

77 million stupid idiotic illiterate bigoted uneducated racist fools voted for all this. If the other Americans want our respect again then they better start fighting for their country. Otherwise we will never have anything to do with them again

As an American, I am ashamed and embarrassed with how this new government has managed to tarnish and destroy our reputation around the world. I did not vote for that idiot in the White House and for those that did, I hope it was worth it.

We Canadians can no longer trust the Moscow Agent Governing America since he trashed the fair trade agreement he signed. Canadians are boycotting made in USA. Feel bad for many Americans who did not vote for the Tangerine Toddler in chief. Ffs when will the Republicans wake up and realize Cheetolini is going to destroy America. I agree with Trudeau today, this trade war is dumb. Thanks from Canada ?❤️??

I know many americans voted for trump but this action is trump voting against the american people. I mean do you guys really think Putin is a 'good' guy? You guys have to get trump out of there he wants to destroy america.

I am an American. I apologize to Canada. I am ashamed and embarrassed to be an American at this time. Millions of us didn't vote for this criminal and traitor.

Most Americans don't want this either. . . those of us who were smart enough to NOT vote for the would-be dictator. There were not quite enough of us, though. Something I will never understand.

I'm an American - Thank You Prime Minister For Your Kind And Compassionate Words.\nEverybody? TIE A KNOT AND HOLD ON... TRUMP IS TO AMERICA WHAT HAMAS IS TO GAZA!\nJust Like The Palestinians Voted In Hamas For GAZA, 52% of the American People Voted Trump In.\nNOW WE ARE ALL Going To Pay For It! - WERE ALL FUCKED!

American here. I am profoundly embarrassed for my country. Trump had already proven himself to be the worst president this country has ever had, yet 75 million Americans were still stupid enough to vote for him AGAIN! Trump should be rotting in prison right now.

Respect to Canada, we all stand with you. Brave coming out on the front foot like you have. I do have to add, it is not the American government alone, it’s the American people who voted Trump in. How the mighty have fallen. Making enemies with all the democracy countries around the world. I’m Danish born, living in Australia. Civil war is very likely as many republicans now see that America is isolating themselves to create a dictatorship. Us vs the world mentality. Politics has never been more entertaining. China is set to be the new world leader, I can’t see it any other way. The timeline has moved forward beyond belief.

As an American, I didn't vote for Trump, and I certainly don't want this. So sorry Canada ?? ?...and I'm sorry that too many of the American people fell for Trump's lies ?.

As an embarrassed American, I'm so sorry! I voted for Kamala.

Trump is so clearly compromised to Russia and Putin. His every action is to destroy America and to aid Putin. American voters disgraced themselves and their country by voting for a corrupt, stupid, rapist and wannabe dictator. I feel bad for Ukraine and Europe that Trump is aiding Russia over supporting our best allies.

As an American, i want to say sorry. I didnt vote for him and i would never vote for him. Im sorry we both have to deal with this. Im so proud of you all and respect you all for this decision. Please remember us.❤

The American people voted for a fascist. Thanks a lot. The winner is Putin. Are you happy now!

Mr. Trudeau, Donald Trump is not smart!!!! He is mentally unbalanced. Shame on those Americans who voted for him. You get what you deserve! Unfortunately, you drag me along with you. ?

I am embarrassed as an American. Trump and his cronies have falsely promised their constituents that he is for the people. NO he never was FOR the people, he is for himself. Our ignorant Americans believed his BS and now they will suffer for their stupidity. President Trudeau you are a gentleman and a brilliant human being. I wish I could vote you back in. Trump has to be taken down.

American here. Family moved to Canada ?? after American Revolutionary War (yep family was a royalist). Stayed in Oh Canada for over 100 years. As an American ?? (country I love) - I stand with Canada ?? even though it will cost me & other lower / middle classes $$$$. Not Canada’s fault. It is the fault of the orange ? man who is a pretender POTUS. A man who kisses Putin’s ring. A man who protects billionaires & trillionaires… not the majority of U.S. Americans. He doesn’t care about the grossly misguided people who voted for him - they are finding out now! Stay Strong Canada ??! Thank you for standing up to this American Bully! So many of us are ashamed, disgusted, and so sorry! ❤??❤??

As an American I hate what Trump is doing. I hope those who voted for him learn from this before he destroys our friendship and the country.

Michigan stands with you Canada ?? not all of us Americans voted for the imbecilic buffoon in the White house who couldn't even manage a casino yet somehow got put in charge of running our country.

As an American that didn't vote for Trump and his parties. Go ahead and raise tariffs on America. We want Trump and his goons to fall flat on their faces.
