Americans, take a look at what you just did by voting for Trump

I thought Canadians hated Trudeau ? Or is their hate for Trump grater like brainwashed Americans?

From Portugal, I am with Canada and all the countries and peoples who were victims of Trump. \nI never thought I would see a North American President ally with his traditional enemies and create enmity with his traditional friends and allies... all this in one month of government. We have to expect the worst and be united.

Tariffs are a tax on the American people so Trump can raise money to give tax cuts to his billionaire cronies.

I'm just going to clarify something remember when they said Trump had allies with Russia now you see what the Democrats were talking about. Trump always blames democrats for his faults. Trump had you guys convinced not to vote for Democrat. Now are allies don't even want to deal with the US anymore which is understandable because of what the whole nation seen with their own eyes and heard with their own ears. Trump says he wants to make America Great American dream not for Americans maybe for you Republicans I guarantee a lot of Republicans don't agree with him but they all are scared to say anything to Trump and his team which that is disturbing within itself. Trump needs to be impeached he's causing to much chaos and still getting away with people's lives in real life situations this is not a joke. As for JD Vance his vice president he was laughing and asking Zelenskyy why was he not wear a suit what about Elon musk he wasn't wearing a suit? And when you ask another person to come from another country to the White House they are dressed in their traditional clothing to be mocked by these men is despicable. Real people lost their jobs, real people are dying that need aid,for them to shut down the military aid was a slap in the face,mind you they sit back and laugh about it.. Russia is the last person Trump should be nice Putin is not on the US side it's obvious but Trump laughs with him, communicate better with Putin which is disturbing as well. Having the power and money makes people so entwined into their own world,Trump should think about Americans first and not act like a disrespectful person he ruined his chance not Zelenskyy. Now We the people are looking at our President and vice President like the are unhinged, disrespectful, uncompassionate, and down right rude. Kamala,Tim warned everyone Barak, Michelle, Biden did also y'all should have listened. I voted for Kamala and Tim. If Trump wants peace he needs to stop with all the madness and focus fixing the US.

I really believe that it just comes down to Trump feeling resentment that he will never be part of a perceived 'inner circle' of establishment world leaders. It's probably over that one time when they were caught on a hot mic dissing him with Trudeau kind of leading the pack. Over the years Trump has shown over and over again that he is that petty and all of his decisions have an absolutely childish basis, yet the American people voted him in a second time. I've run out of patience with the American people too. They're not really doing anything about this except saying online that they support Canada just so they can feel a little better about themselves. If you guys want a dumpy predator for president that's your business but I will be doing my part to fight him and his unjust attacks against my country.

How dare you accost our American King (yes we know he is a dipshit, moron, loser I could go on). Our American King is looking out for the American people (actually our American King scumbag is only looking out for himself - look for soon the amazing launch of Donald Trump Sex Toys and Dildos). So Canada how dare you!

Canadian here. Buying Canadian first, Mexico and Commonwealth second, anyone else third. Not buying American anything until Trump is out of office. Bye. ??

He's more American then trump?\nWtf He's talking about \nDon't worry about Americans

European here; Trump and his administration completely disqualified themselves as leader of the free world. It will take time to undo the complete fall-out, but I know there are Lots and lots of Americans who disaprove his approach. I am with you and know you are the force for good, as Americans have instilled this in the past. Unfortunatly it will get worse, before it gets better.

Mr. Trudeau, As an American who has never voted for Trump, I apologize for the person we currently have in the White House, and wish Canada and Mexico the best. Do what you have to do, and hopefully it will cause enough disruption that Trump will have to retreat. Most of us consider Canadians and Mexicans our friends. A lot of people in the US are contacting our representatives in Congress, participating in economic boycotts, and joining groups like the ACLU that are bringing lawsuits against some of the actions that have already occurred. God bless Canada and Mexico!

At what point has the American army the duty to take Trump & his goons into custody?\nThey all swore allegiance to protect the constitution of the United States.

Trump is a joke get him and his golf club out of Ireland . Trump supporters are completely delusional . So sorry for the americans with half a brain ..........Trump is as mad as putin wake up maga idiots ........

As an American I too stand with Canada. Those maga dictator in chief will destroy America just to appease his daddy Putin. Phuck tRump and Putin

The American people voted for President Donald Trump. We can provide a lot for ourselves.

Americans get rid of your Trump administration. Vote them out, impeach, send to jail for treason. Act now!!!

What a nightmare, I'm so sorry your people and American innocent people are going to suffer the consequences of Trumps actions.\nLove to you, Canada.\nFrom Australia ❤

Americans here. WE HATE TRUMP. WE HATE HIM. We are with you Canada. DONALD TRUMP IS AN IDIOT.

Trudeau hit the bell when he mentioned:- Trump, you're a smart guy..This is a very dumb thing to do..\nA nice way to skin a cat..!\n\nTrump will remove the doubt when he makes a U-turn on the tariffs as it'll make Americans suffer...in pain(economically)...

Canadian here. We helped America in 1980 by saving American diplomatic staff from captivity in Tehran. We suffered the loss of Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan. This is how we are paid back. The Trump Regime won a election with just 1.7% of the vote. Trump is becoming enemy number 1 in the free world. Stand up Americans against this horrible MEGA regime before your freedoms and liberty disappear.

I'm an American. Trump and company are Russian Collaborators . They are NOT acting in America's interest. I'm on Canada's side here for sure. Trumps tariffs must be some kind of fishy scam. I bet its some kind of money grab? It would not surprise me.The White house is under Russian Control.

Trump will be known the American president who conquered Canada and it the 51st state of USA \n\nBut my question is why did Trudeau stated speaking baby words when it was time to speak to Trump directly!?

President trump is a businessman that’s what he does for his people. Sometimes being great at something is not enough for you to be a good leader . Your fellow Americans will suffer .

Good for you, Trudeau! Trump despises the vast majority of Americans and happily destroys our lives. Thank you for standing up to his cruelty and stupidity. Canadians are lucky to have you and your intelligent cohort fighting against our monstrous president. And many of us truly admire you & your partners.

American here, so proud of Prime Minister Trudeau's leadership. Trump's tariffs serve no purpose other than being a jerk. Stay strong Canada, stand up to this bully.

It really doesn't affect Trump if eggs are $12 a dozen and gas is $7 a gallon.. I do appreciate Trump going after non diligent government spending but the hatred toward any other than the white race is just un-American

See this is where he is wrong. Now that trumps in office. Now we will be fracking, milling, and mining. So what do we really need from Canada. That’s right the American companies that deserted the USA to come home. Canada is always crying man up bro.

Trump thinks America rules the world whereas the balance can easily shift by this kind of aggressive approach, especially when there is a tremendous economical power called CHINA! I expect the infamous arrogant American culture will have to learn being humble soon. You should thank Trump for what is going to happen next.

AMERICAN citizens here: WE do NOT support TRUMPS RAPE of our nation.... Dear Canada the majority of Americans are SO ashamed and embarrassed of this whole mess...?

As a European, it's a pitty I'm not in America anymore. I'm very curious what the American citizens think about this. This will have a negative effect on the entire world. I don't know if Trump realizes it, but America will not come out on top. It will become the biggest loser of this whole ordeal, I'm afraid. This is becoming dangerous. Europe always saw the East as the big threat, but it might be the West. (Not you Canada, we love you <3 )

American here, wish I could be proud of my president but he is disgraceful. Do what you need to make Trump go away.

Cut the power off to the U.S. ?? and stop the 4 million barrels of oil going over the border put a stop to the Uranium going south no more Nickle or steel or Aluminum, Potash for their Farmers stop that also, the additional measures being considered will be painful and unfortunately the majority of Americans don't realize what's coming their way sure Canada ?? will feel pain also but we are standing up for what's right these tariffs is an unprovoked attack on our economy and you can bet Vladimir Putin ?? is smiling now knowing Trump can be compromised just look at what Putin ?? has managed to do so far he has manipulated Trump into alienating all his allies which has now happened you can bet that Vladimir Putin ?? is going milk this till he either succeeds in destroying the world ? view of the U.S.?? or manipulates Trump into telling him things he shouldn't to further his plans because if you think Vladimir Putin ?? does have a deck of cards up his sleeve you're nieve he has shook the hands of 2 dictators, Kim Jong Un ?? and Vladimir Putin ?? and has burned all his bridges with allies and you still think Russia isn't trying to interfere politically so it works to their advantage it already has. Hell he is ex KGB for crying out loud if that's not a red flag then the U.S.?? has more issues than I thought. How could Trump and his thugs attack President Zelensky ?? on live T.V. for the world ? to see how disrespectful, cruel, a total lack of compassion for a president who has had his country destroyed he's losing his people and that shirt President Zelensky was wearing was from a young girl back in Ukraine the U.S. ?? played Judge, Jury and executioner on live T.V. They are punishing President Zelensky for absolutely no reason by stalling aid to Ukraine his people are being slaughtered and they want Ukraine to give up territory and that's not acceptable under any circumstances Trump is trying to force President Zelensky ?? into a deal with Russia ?? by stalling aid. So let's punish people in a country that has been destroyed even more to force them into a deal with Russia ?? that would require Ukraine to give up territory absolutely not! Ukraine must remain in tact and return to its former glory ?? the United States of America ?? can no longer be trusted especially if they attacked their closest allies and insulted us continually did WW1 and WW2 mean absolutely nothing to the U.S.?? when Iran ?? took American hostages Canadians ?? worked tirelessly to devise a plan to get them back to the U.S. and succeeded in doing Just that the Canadians brought back the Americans safely. When 9/11 happened and Canada ?? took on thousands of passengers in Gander Newfoundland Canada ?? we opened our airspace and landed each and every one of them safely then when Americans couldn't get their medication, Gander gave it to them free of charge when Americans went shopping for clothes the stores gave it to them free of charge everything they needed was provided free of charge they were fed housed offered compassion and opened their homes so Americans could shower and clean up. So Canadians has always been there for the U.S.?? and this is how Canada ?? is repaid for its sacrifices made during both wars and other historical events that involved both countries ????? So if the world ? sees the U.S. attacking it closest allie for no reason and insulting Canada ?? at every turn and spreading complete lies about Canadians saying we want to be the 51 St State! No Canadians want that I can tell you, not for anything or any amount of Gold or currency would Canadians want to be part of the U.S.?? we'll the world ? has seen the 2 faces of the United States ?? now and you can bet the confidence in all aspects in that country will plummet! The ?? can't be trusted anymore.

Mr president Canada, u need to pay for what u get! Trump is doing right things for the American people. You just wanna get all and at the same time u complain a lot. The game is win win… you can’t come the front to fight with Russia but you encourage the canadian people to fight for u?

CNN is so full of shit they can’t even talk the facts of Donald Trump getting himself in this shit. Pink suit mama Paula is stuttering all over herself. The first thing she says is how Trudeau spoke of how it’s going to be hard on Canada and then stuttered about it being hard for Americans. But she FAILED to mention that Canada has vowed to be there and make amends for its citizens unlike America whose government has hung its citizens out to dry. CNN also failed to mention ton that Trump signed the current trade agreement when he was president for his first term. Never thought I would see the day CNN would skirt the issue trying their damndest not to use the words the rest of the world is saying and that’s “What the fuck Donald?” Shame on you CNN. You’re the reason the right information isn’t being put out there.

I as an American am embarrassed of this country, America needs to wake up and understand Trump is playing a dangerous game, not only is this gonna blow up in his face but also ours.

This American is thankful you are acting against these disastrous tariffs. I love my country, but do not support Trump's actions??❤???

The Trump Tea is a mixture of madness that so many American Sheepeople love to drink. It's very toxic and causes brain damage along with irrational thinking. If you or someone you know is drinking Trump Tea please stop and contact your nearest Poison Control Center before it's too late!

I’ve never been more ashamed to be an American. What has happened to common decency and more importantly, common sense? How are people falling for trumps lies every single day? It’s baffling that critical thinking is a thing of the past in the states nowadays. And that’s exactly how trump wants it.

Trump must be REMOVED from office. He is a man disguising to be PRO LIFE but not as I have seen him. American people must be VIGILANT on HOW he RUN your government. Is Trump not running your government toward PUTIN's system of government.

Donald trump will not last long on his term if he continue acting dumb ,his own people will destroy him or worst assassinate him.For sure not all Americans are voted him and like him ,Americans are very intelligent people they won’t let that dumb president destroy thier future and put them into a very chaotic living.

reciprocal, you charge us, we charge you, this sissy boy has failed Canada. and no, the American people wanted President Trump to put tariffs on you and Mexico for not stopping drugs and are helping China to kill Americans. so, this is your punishment...the world will no longer take advantage of the US any longer, 77 million Americans voted for President Trump take America back from the world stealing from Americans, President Trump has the highest approval rating supporting him.

Hopefully somebody in the American Military or the CIA will take this Donald Trump out before he does any more damage to his allies in NATO

As an American we are with you justin....I understand ....trump has no heart the less fortunate will feel it.

Please, Mr. Trudeau understand the United States did not do that Donald Trump. Did we love our neighbors, true Americans, love our neighbors and understand how important they are.✌?❤️

I'm from the UK and I am very impressed with the Canadian Prime Minister's response, what a contrast from the felon in the White House. I have been researching which Canadian products are available here and will be switching to them and away from U.S products. And to ordinary Americans who are as disgusted by their leadership as so many of us around the world are, I hope you will be able to reclaim your country back from Trump and MAGA who are doing so much harm to you.

American here, I support you, Canada. I didn't vote for Trump. He is embarrassing our country. I am so sorry he's treating you badly. If your country wasn't so cold, I'd move to Canada in a heartbeat! You deserve to be treated better.

American here. We don't want trouble either man. The Beef should had been with Mexico and illigals from the south. But never would i had thought he attack our friendly neighbor north. Really corny if you ask me. Please Trump, work with Canada. They are our Friends. We need Eachother.

As a american I stand with you Canada I didn't vote for this thug in the whiteshouse he a plague. Trump needs to be impeached.

Wake up before it's too late Americans! Trump is a puppet of Russia. He's going to bankrupt the country and then when the people take to the streets he's going to impose a National Marshal law and sign an executive emergency order where he takes over the entire US government as a dictator.

It takes a lot to piss off a country like Canada, which is saying something. I don't fault the Canadian and Mexican governments for standing up for their people. It's just a damn shame that regular Canadians, Americans, and Mexicans will pay the price of the trade war started by President Trump. Why we're taking aim at our ally nations and not putting tariffs on Russian goods says it all.
