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

Kudos to Trudeau for giving an elegant speech. I did not vote for Trump, aka Felon #47, for obvious reasons. He is a racist, unfit for the office and a damn FELON! It appears all of our allies have strong leaders. But the not the USA. We have a felon for the President that cannot form a complete sentence; unless he is talking about hate. Trump needs to resign.

I did not vote for trump..he's the most revolting piece of shit this country has...Trump is no one's friend..he's disgusting..can I move to canada?

The citizens of USA voted for this, unfortunately.

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 :)

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.

Can Trump be removed NOW from power and have a referendum and re-do of the election? There should be some sort of return policy just as in business. Maga Americas have realized now I hope that what they voted for is the destruction of our country and it's citizens. Let's draw straws and have a popular vote on candidates of all parties and solve this calamity.

As a US Citizen, we deserve all of the worst that's coming. Not all of us voted for the Orange Turd, but unfortunately this is the situation we're in. I'm rooting for you Canada.

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…

This is what a president should be. Why any of us would vote against our own people and our own country I'll never understand.

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

Pray for us in America, who did NOT vote for this demented traitor.

Our people of America voting this damn guy into office, I don't get what was the appeal to have this type of leader for our nation. We are just in a sh^^ty place at this moment. This is not what America is about and sad to say this may be the destruction of our nation by having such poor leadership, how dare he spoke about Biden or Obama.

They will back down and they have already shown multiple times over the years. It’s a shame because if they stick to it, the idiots that voted for the bs would finally learn about how tariffs can have negative impact

I'm sorry Canada I didn't vote for that piece of shit but I'm sure going to have to pay for it

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.

Most of us know not to believe what Trump says about these tariffs (or anything else). He is a scourge to the world. As a US citizen am beyond disgusted that he was able to gain enough votes.?

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.

Hey dumbasses who voted for Trump: The Wall St Journal estimates these tariffs will increase the cost of your next pickup truck by $9k ! But hey, I guess that's a small price to pay for your improved relationship with Vladimir Putin. Who are you people ?!

Dear Canada, I am glad you are standing up to our horrible leaders. I never in my life ever expected to see a President of the U.S. side with Russia over our allies. We know the that he is gaslighting the world using the fentanyl excuse. We did not all vote for the orange menace, but now we will do everything we can to rid our country and the world of this MAGA scourge.

Just curious... Any trump voter in the comments who admits regretting to have voted for him?

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

Thanks Trump and all you idiots that voted for him! Look what you've done! Brainless clods!

THIS IS A PERSON I WILL VOTE FOR YOU GOT OUR BACK WE HAVE YOURS. CANADIAN FOR LIFE

This man truly doesn't do a thing but lie and create turmoil through his disinformation . Someone boot his pathetic lying ass out for government already wake up Canada u voted in a dictator

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

I'm European, but I lived in Canada for a couple of months and actually got to see Trudeau speak live in Parliament. He gave a very different speech that day - a eulogy. I did not think then I would ever hear this man this very obviously pissed off. He's like one of those teachers that don't need to shout to show their students they are in big trouble. I don't know if I would vote for him if I was Canadian, but I would certainly be proud of him right now.

As an European I'm standing behind Canada and Mexico. America has voted a convicted criminal into the WH who always lies and only thinks about what is good for him. This is on the MAGA cult and those who didn't vote. Your so called leader is the biggest terrorist from within

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.

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

You voted for the biggest idiot ever.... we will look back in 10 or 20 years and can not explain what this idiot has destroied....

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

I am so sorry Canada, and all the countries of NATO. The smart people in the USA did not cast our votes for MAGA. Please let us all hope we can impeach him and get back to the not perfect, however, loved DEMOCRACY we were and are.

The only thing that makes sense is that President Trump has been compromised. We need to stop for a moment, ignore the chaos and demand an investigation into the President Trump. Too much of his corruption has been aggressively swept under the rug. Agencies that have investigated him have been targeted.\n\nWe know that he is an ego maniac. Why would he do these things that would make people on both sides of the aisle hate him? Why would he publicly align himself with dictators and known enemies of the U.S. and then destroy relationships with our allies in just over a month in office?\n\nSomething isn't right. We need to demand a deep dive into the President and VP JD Vance. We need to do this before they plung us into civil war.\n\nWhen we are poor and struggling, we tend to voice our frustrations within our communities and turn on one another. This isn't the time for that! No matter how you voted. No one voted for this! Put your differences to the side. Price hikes, unemployment and being cut off from resources will not discriminated based on your race, religion, economic status or citizenship.

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.

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.

The maggots this is what you voted for. He ran every business he ever owned the ground bankrupt at casinos and you voted for this. Enjoy the ride you’re gonna pay Bigley.

I admire you Prime Minister Trudeau! As a person from the U.S.A. I am ashamed that Trump has turned against us as citizens of this country and put the entire world at risk. Thank goodness I didn't vote for him!

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.

I cut off the electricity off to the USA and see how much the people who voted for old donny likes not have electricity in the north east they better buy up wood stoves

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau, for some clarity during these very troubling times. My hope is people in my country, the USA, will finally begin to listen carefully, and think about the ramifications of voting Trump into office again. Sadly, populist demagogues attract attention by suggesting easy answers to very complex problems. Or to put it more simply, by repeatedly lying.

This is killing those of us who did not vote for him. We stand behind what you have been forced to do in ??.

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.
