Canada, Mexico, Germany and other countries who are getting caught up in the orange turd of a president's mess. He's not my president and just so you know I've never voted for him. I'm so embarrassed to be an American right now... I promise 50% of U.S voters are idiots the other half of us understand economics, the importance of allies and we're generally nice/smart people. #trumpsucks

We, the Americans, that did not vote for the belligerent little orange man r afraid of what r country looks like now. He is literally targeting anyone who does not agree w his crazy politics. We understand why Canada needs to take a strong stance against DJT’s tariffs & do not blame u for reacting to his bizarre treatment of r greatest ally. Praying for r country in the hands of such a callous man.

As an American i am so embarrassed…not only of Trump himself, but of those who voted for him.

I hope you Canadians know that WE, the sane citizens of the United States, do NOT agree with what Trump has started. We don't even want him here!\n\nUnfortunately, there are a lot of racists in our country who have learned to blame other groups of people for the failures of the very party they vote for. \n\nI say, FIGHT BACK! Don't allow the Dictator Orange Man to bully y'all. However, this affects us, we'll have to deal with it, and the ONLY person to blame will be Trump! \n\nLong live, Canada! -Signed, A Black American Woman (who did not vote for that literal clown)

Thank you Prime Minister showing the American people how stupid and ignorant nearly half the country is. Americans want their country back vote the garbage out. I wouldn't hold my breath. A very sick and drug dependant half the country. Don't blame Mexico or Canada

As an American, we didn't want this either. The Americans who voted for Trump didn't want to believe his true agenda and we are all paying the price for it. Siding with Putin is beyond scary. Our own President is a traitor and makes zero effort to hide it. We are in deep trouble

Americans in Cage under Trump administration, this you voted for

This was not my choice. I did not vote for the orange clown and his jester. Please Canada not all Americans agree with what is going on. After his reign, please help us heal from this and other atrocities that have taken place.

As a black American who didn’t vote for this. Go crazy Canada.

From America, the world really acts like we owe them something.\n\nWe get called imperialists when we help, cowards and weaklings when we don’t, we get reprimanded and shit on about how we should get our nose out of everyone’s business. The rest of the world seems to have a hate boner for the US yet can’t even be bothered to figure out how to not start new world wars, can’t even be bothered to take in and handle their own refugees, can’t even be bothered to help your own people.\n\nWe The People are growing real tired of our treatment on the world stage. Furthermore, we have our own issues. We have to focus on our own country and people, because as it stands many of us are struggling to figure out how to pay rent without picking up 2nd jobs or side hussle’s. Please understand this, we voted for Donald Trump. Flaws and all. He didn’t cheat or steal his way in. He isn’t a threat to democracy, or the stability of Europe. He’s and American president for America and if any non Americans wanna take issue with that. Then come get your citizenship and vote for it, but until then, stop crying about what America is doing and focus on your own country. Who knows, if you do your own country might actually be notable enough for you to understand my frustrations :)

As a Canadian, I didn’t vote for Trudeau but I have to hand it to him, he has expressed the thoughts and feelings of the majority of Canadians very well. Canadians are generally pretty laid back and easy going, often too polite for our own good. However, as the Americans in 1812, the Germans in WW1 and WW2, the Chinese and North Koreans in the Korean War and the Taliban in Afghanistan found out we don’t shy away from a fight when we are provoked. We will never bow down to that orange orangutang in the White House.

Americans, you voted for this idiot. Now, you will see and feel the consequences for your uneducated votes. We Canadians will never back down from a fight. We all stand united.

This is what happens when stupid people vote for bankrupt businessmen who have no clue about Civics, History, or running a damn government. Canada and Ukraine are our friends!!!! As an American I stand with both! Trump can go to Hell! Same with his ignorant ass supporters so spare me your replies which only support your ignorance!

Trump does not speak for all USA citizens. Many of we Americans also want to be friends and allies and are totally against the Trump policies. Remember, he only won the election by 1.47% of voters with 89.2 million eligible (unbelievable) voters not bothering to voting. USA is worth fighting for!

As an American Republican I would like to apologize to Canadians for the lunatic in the White House that I DID NOT vote for. Trump is a MORON who honestly needs to be removed by any means possible…

How many people grew up in Divorced families with arguments and name calling and all the insults? I’m just wondering because the way our president in America is acting along with JD Vance and all the MAGA politicians they all act like those parents with the constant negativity and verbal abuse that all the crap that they put the American people through!!! How many times has our country gone through anything serious within or outside of our country? I am 62 years old and I can tell you there has been many, but we have never had a president / vice president and all the politicians on one party sit there and act the way these IDIOTS act! I was just thinking about this because of the constant stress I feel on a daily basis with this administration! It is a public disgrace as our trailer trash parents fight in public! Makes you want to run away!! I cannot stand the people responsible for what we are experiencing in our country right now! I blame Trump, Musk and all those American that voted for these idiots!! F” off!!

Don't be so nice to Americans......they voted for the idiot not once but twice

It says okay this is what the American people voted for we stand with Trump we know in the long run it'll work out fair trade that's all we want fair trade not one-sided we're tired of getting screwed the taxpayer

I'm an American, but I do not claim Trump as my president. He and his people are heathens. I never voted for him, and even as a teen, I hated him and still do.

For all those who voted for Trump....yes all these tariffs mean harm to the American citizens in rising costs that we will not be able to afford, as we are already struggling......listen to Canada speech to us.....

Mr Trudeau, may my family and friends come live in Canada? None of us voted for this big, fat, orange, narcissistic a**hole and his psychotic sycophants. Trump is only going to double down on all the things that piss him off. Look, if Trump thought he could make a dollar off fentanyl, he wouldn’t be against it - it’s just that he doesn’t get any of the cuts. And by the way, I don’t think I’ve ever heard “smart” and “Trump” uttered in the same sentence without “not” being inserted between them. Trump is an idiot. I have visited Canada and it’s beautiful, unspoiled, and intelligently ran. PLEASE let us come! Most of us stand firmly with Canada, Mexico, and Europe. I have never been so embarrassed to be an American in 67 years of life.

Trumps is a cancer for peace in the world. American's voted for him. Crazy.

Not all of us Americans voted for that Idiot Trump. We respect a true leader in President Trudeau and the Canadian people.

I blame the American people who voted for Trump. I am going to disagree with Prime Minister Trudeau when he said Donald is smart, Donald is as stupid as they come. Everything this man touches he ruins. Great job MAGA ????‍♀️

As an American i did NOT vote for this?

I'm an American and I'm beyond disgusted that the convicted felon adjudicated rapist Dictator worshipper Dictator wannabe was allowed to run for any political office especially President. I believe Musk's vote counting system corrupted the election. I have never and never will vote for Trump and his evil co conspirators. Now some of the MAGA voters are regretting their votes, well they chose to believe the cons lies over the easily verifiable facts especially Project 2025 that again lied on national TV that he knew nothing about Project 2025 yet his name is on hundreds of pages in project 2025 documents. Trump and his goons belong in prison.\nI support and love Canada and Ukraine. Devastating that the real elected President Kamala Harris was robbed of that because of manipulation and foreign interference. Americans are suffering and the suffering will get worse except for the top wealthiest.\nThank you Prime Minister for standing up to the biggest deranged bully on Earth and all the countries that are supporting Canada.\nIt disturbs me beyond words, I have generations in my family that have served in our military, ,my father served in WWII and Korea he fought at the Battle of the Bulge and liberated Buchenvald concentration camp the atrocities he witnessed affected him for the rest of his life, and here we have a 5 time draft dodger whose rich daddy paid a Dr to falsify deferment paperwork for phoney bone spurs, he's a coward and a bully

I'm American, and I didn't vote for the orange head. I support Canada

As an American who didn’t vote for Trump and thought Kamala was too right, this is like watching a sinking ship, but I have to watch the people who drilled the hole realize that it’s not such a beautiful feature for a ship.?

What I'm hearing from.our elected Prime Minister (even though I didn't vote for him) is honest&outstanding! he should not step down as this ridiculous $$ grab from Trumpty!!!!he should be do this to the other nasty 2 Nasty Dictators,not Canadian *s that for Centuries have spent our hard earned $$ &our fallen Heroes that died &followed the American beliefs to Freedom! Just discussing attitude!

As a black female American we man, he has to do what he has to do and I applaud him for standing a a true leader. It’s going to be tough for us here, this government is selfish and this people voted him in now we all have to deal with this mess. I highly respect President Trudeau, a true leader

Make that make sense boy he's already had all my attention and then he said that and had 200% \nI'm an American and I wish I could make it make sense all I can say is I didn't vote for him & he(Trump) is so very deeply embarrassing

Spoke well, with genuineness, to Canadians, to Americans, to Donald Trump, and was articulate, with no punches pulled. Great speech. \nWe get the big BOI here in America.....to those who voted for him, is this what you wanted? It'll get worse, no doubt, so I hope you are still so proud at the end of this administration....if it ends.

I'm American, I'm cheering for Canada. Our government has broken its word to yours. I do not believe that Trump's actions represent the wishes of most Americans but many of them DID vote for him (and the utterly spineless Congressional Republicanswho enable him) and all of us are going to pay the price, quite literally.

Its not about the govt alone. Many Americans are very messed up. That's why they voted for trump. But, I think many are trying to keep trump in place. Let's hope things change around soon

I am so ashamed and infuriated by what is going on in America!! They are going to kill a large majority of our population, way more than fentanyl or criminals! There has to be something we can do to get them out of our government!! \nAs an American, I would like to apologize for what our government is doing to the world! I voted AGAINST the ?? but I am sorry all the same!

Thank you for saying what the Americans who voted for Trump needed to hear, which is the truth about Putin.

The Mexican President CLAUDIA SHEINBAUM writes to Trump and Musk on behalf of THE REST OF THE WORLD:\n\nSo, you voted to build a wall… Well then, my dear Americans, even if you don’t know much about geography—after all, for you, “America” is your country and not an entire continent—it’s important that before you lay the first stone, you know what you’re locking out with this wall.\n\nOutside, there are 7 billion people; but since the concept of “people” doesn’t seem to interest you much, let’s call them consumers instead.\n\nThere are 7 billion consumers ready to replace the iPhone with a Samsung or Huawei within 42 hours. They can also swap Levi’s for Zara or Massimo Dutti.\n\nQuite comfortably, within six months, we can stop buying Ford or Chevrolet vehicles and switch to Toyota, KIA, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Subaru, Renault, or BMW, which are technically far superior.\n\nThese 7 billion people could also cancel their Direct TV subscriptions and—even if we wouldn’t like it—stop watching Hollywood movies, opting instead for Latin American or European productions, which are superior in quality, content, and cinematography.\n\nAs incredible as it may sound, we can stop traveling to Disney and instead visit Xcaret in Cancún, Mexico, Canada, or Europe—there are many incredible destinations in South America, Asia, and Europe.\n\nAnd believe it or not: There are even better burgers in Mexico than McDonald’s—with higher nutritional value.\n\nHas anyone ever seen a pyramid in the United States? In Egypt, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, Sudan, and many other countries, there are pyramids with fascinating cultures. Take a look at where the wonders of the ancient and modern world are located… None of them are in the U.S. Too bad for Trump—otherwise, he would have bought and resold them!\n\nWe know that Adidas exists, not just Nike, and we can start consuming Mexican sneakers like Panam.\n\nWe know far more than you think; for example, we know that if these 7 billion consumers stop buying your products, unemployment will rise, and your economy will collapse so severely within your racist wall that you’ll beg us to tear it down. We didn’t want anything, but… You wanted a wall? Then you’ll get a wall.\n\nSincerely, \nTHE REST OF THE WORLD. \n\nPlease forward this message to 12 people. If you don’t, nothing will happen—except that many people won’t learn about these realities. \n\nCLAUDIA SHEINBAUM \nPRESIDENT OF MEXICO

This is what you voted for my fellow Americans. A president who cares more about sucking Putin's dick and licking Elon's feet then he does about helping any of you in any way! Great job!!!

He never said Trump is a smart man, that was part of the quote damn it. I’m an American who is so sad, mad, outraged we are treating Canada and Mexico. Thank you Trudeau, I heard your message for us. I certainly cast my vote and will do so again towards unity, reason, compassion and love for the world. Not this disgusting behavior.

As an American I can't make this make sense. I still can't make sense of a single person voting for this incompetent charlatan let alone enough to put him back in the White House.

Go ahead Canada Americans gotta learn that voting has consequences I live in Maryland this is a shame is being Shame to our country

As an American who DID NOT vote for Trump...\naye, do what you need to do Canada. I can't blame you. I get it.

As an American citizen (sadly) i apologize for the baboon-fest in our whitehouse. the monkeys took over because of the mentally instable voters and vote-buying scammers who brought this on. MOST of us did not vote for this tragedy. but now we must attempt to survive this. not even God can help us!

USA Democrats will not accept 83% vote win and are still campaigning against Trump and Republicans. They hav e not stopped from day one. The socialistic/communistic world supports them in attempting to break down all Americans work hard for. America will not be pushed around and broken. If Canada wants to be with them, let Canada fall with them.

As an American who did NOT vote for our orange tyrant, I'm so ashamed to be a citizen of this country under his reign.

I hate being an American. I did what I could but failed. Countrymen voted against it, and well .. we are now all in this hell together. Left stuck and upset at all of this. I am proud of Canada and wish we had a more capable leader. I am so sorry to everyone else. Know its not everyone in america follows the goons about.

The American people who voted for Trump ought to be totally ashamed - he is only interested with his good friend Putin and wants to strip Ukraine of his precious minerals. Stay strong Canada and play him at his own game.

I am a Trinbagonian?? all the way in the Caribbean and I stand with Canada❤But guess what,the American people voted for that?Then again,Biden or Kamala Harris wasn't a better pick either?

To the world. - I am an American citizen and I am ashamed to be one. I do not support trump. I did not vote for him. I hate him. He is a waste of breath. I am sorry about everything our government is doing. I don’t want this and I don’t want him in charge. I stand with Canada.

Canadians must stop apologizing to Americans. We have nothing to apologize for. Every single American of voting age is responsible for this. \nYour elected president is an existential threat to my children. \nYou’re not my friend or ally\nFO\n????
