Don't want to see Americans hurt.. elaborate please...?

Can someone please tell Trump Canada is our friend. They have given lives in our wars. They are going to find other customers for their oil while our auto industry will be trashed. They will find other countries to buy their lumber while the cost of building American homes soars. It will be easy for Canada, Mexico and China to come out ahead in this trade war. Trump’s understanding of economics and international trade is at the sixth grade level- and not a very bright sixth grader. Finally where is Trumps plan to protect American families and workers? Where is the national resolve to work together to get through this?

I As an American citizen can only hope that we would have a president in office with the intelligence, compassion and dignity that PM Trudeau has. At this time I am truly ashamed of my country. Especially the ones that put this hateful, revenge seeking, criminal monster in our White House. I stand with you 100% Canada. I also hope that maybe within the next year, trump will be gone. I don't know how or where but just gone. As intelligent as prime minister Trudeau is I have to disagree with one comment he made. trump is NOT a smart man. He is nothing but a 34 count convicted felon, rapist and criminal wannabe dictator. I shudder at the thought of the end of his four year disaster. What will our country do when we have no allies whatsoever. He loves russia and putin, His puppet master. He does not understand that Russia has never been our friend, is not our friend. And never will be our friend. He just loves putin because He wants to be just like him. He is the United States very own Adolf Hitler. Also , I have removed our flag from my front yard that I so proudly displayed my entire life. It will be raised again but only after this nightmare called trump is gone! Please accept the apology from millions of Americans that stand with you. We are truly sorry and we are suffering with you. God help us. And God Bless Canada ❤

Bravo President Trudeau - hero of the free world! \nDear Americans, please save USA and the World from Russian agents in disguise now!

America, your president is using YOU as pawns to threaten and force a move on Canada and other allies because he doesn’t care if everyday Americans suffer for what he thinks is for the “greater good” of America. Think about that for a minute, PLEASE.

As an American, PLEASE PLEASE know that so many of us are beside ourselves with anger due to what we are seeing. Personally, I feel like I’m living in a bad dream.

I did not vote for Chump. In fact I like many have left America One tjing I adk..Will tje last American please dhut the lights before they leave?

Please someone provide me the name of the woman next to the Prime Minister because I felt like her, and I’m American ?

Canada is very lucky to have true leader in PM Trudeau …I’m embarrassed by how Trump is acting. Canada please forgive us as this is not the American way.

American here?\nImpeach,Impeach,Impeach this is Discusting The United State so called President is Going to Devestate & Hurt American/Americans?\nTo side with Dictators out of Greed & Power?\nThank All you Canadian people whom Are concerned❤ & Please Pray for All of Use???\nKamala Harris should be presidant of the U.S❤

As an American, it’s so shameful to witness this take place. Canada, please know many of us vehemently oppose what has happened to our country, but our voices are being strategically stifled. It’s a scary place to be. ?

Canada, please PLEASE realize that there are MANY AMERICANS who oppose this action vehemently and ansolutely HATE DONALD TRUMP!! Who knows what will become of you and us because of his sick, evil mind. We will fight WITH YOU!!

I’m sorry Canada for my deranged government. Please don’t think they reflect all Americans. Most of us are terrified right now and hate this situation we’re in. And most of us love Canada as our neighbor and friend

Dear Prime Minister Trudeau, Thank you for speaking to the American public so kindly & articulately! Please let some of our states become provinces or territories of Canada. Please let us know the forms to fill out.... Hawaii must look pretty great to you all...?! If Donald can rename the Gulf of Mexico, surely we can adjust some border lines....?

Please my fellow Americans. This ABS glue sniffer. Frose bank accounts. This pedophile paid off 2 million dollars to an underage girl. This dictator divided the country in 8 years. 8 years will never get back. His wife devorst him because he is simp.

When Americans were held hostage in Iran, it was Canada our great neighbor, who came to our rescue. Always a trusted and valued partner in war and peace. 48.2% of Americans are just holding our breath until the midterm congressional elections. We are sincerely sorry for our current lapse of common sense and Integrity. Please stand by us in our time of need.

Well said PM Trudeau . Please know not all Americans think like Trump and support what he is doing to our country.

Canadians are reasonable and polite.? Nicest people on the face of earth. Americans are also great. West please don't divide. North America is the best place on the earth. West is the inspiration for everyone in the world. Please unite please.

64% of Americans voted in the 2024 election. Just over half voted for Drumpf. Please understand that the majority of Americans do not support drumpf’s actions! We stand with our neighbors to the north.

Please make sure that what you are saying is all from Trump and NOT ALL the United States! Soooo many Americans do not support that guy!!!

Am so sad that USA continues to bully not only Americans but all those countries that we worked with previous years. GOD IS NOT PLEASED WITH HOW AMERICA IS TREATING OUR NEIGHBORS. STAND IN UNITY PRAYING GOD WILL SHOW UP. ??

Please don't judge all Americans by what was voted into the Presidency.

Born and raised in Canada here, 64 years old... American stuff is all over the place in this country... my Bosch D/W and washing machine are both made in USA... heck even our toilets are American Standard... and simultaneously we supply USA and ROW with high quality products that meet or exceed ASTM standards... so please do let us know how that Russian aluminum and steel works out because everything I've every seen from Russia is a fucking joke... there's absolutely nothing in my life that say Proudly Made in Russia because only the oligarchs are proud to be Russian.

Please Canadians recognize that our punk of a man president was put into the office by the least educated the fox entertainment brainwashed and the wealthiest of Americans. This is not who America is. Nobody voted for this. This all appeared after he won the election like his occupying Gaza, siding with Russia and so on. Educated Americans recognize that illegal drugs, make it into this country at ports of entry and are smuggled by Americans. Not illegal immigrants not through northern or southern border.

Don't be fooled by this wimp my American friends. Trudeau is a weasel and has killed Canada. I'm not a fan of Trump but he still has seen thru this bum and we deserve what we're getting because of his neglect and Woke policies for the last 10 years. he's as corrupt as a politician can get. So please wait til we get a leader in Canada that will get us back to a REAL partner with the US. An election is gonna happen real soon that will put a Prime Minister in place that will address the concerns of both of our countries and get things back to normal.....and it won't be Mark Carney!!!!!

All these years US has a trade deficit of 1 trillion dollars every year. With tariffs we could have recovered 250 billion every year. That is a lot of money. Currently every American owes $110,000 because of the accumulated debt of 36.5 trillion.\n\nJustin, how long are we supposed to bend back wards while US has a trade deficit of trillion dollar over the past 20 years. Why cant to you balance the imports and exports so that you don't have to keep taking advantage of USA. CNN did not see the trade deficit every single year for 20 years? what are they talking about? Our news channels have just become political entities rather than looking for the greater good of the Americans. One is for Republicans and others for Democrats - ridiculous. \n\nCanada and Mexico are saying, please stop tariffs, it is going to hurt America. LOL. No it is not. If tariffs were there in 2024, US would have gotten back 15 billion dollar revenue from Canada and Mexico would have paid 46 billion to USA. All this time, this was affecting only Americans and while you are enjoying not paying for your share, you have made US pay by taking loans to pay for the imports increasing our Debt. Yes it has been hurting America for the past 20 years, otherwise how did we accumulate 36.5 trillion debt.\n\nLike Justin said, if Canada can survive while paying 15 billion to USA, of course USA will do fine while collecting the 15 billion from Canada and 46 billion form Mexico. What do you all think that the public is blind?\n\nTo the American Public: Why would we impose tariffs, if that is going to hurt the US. And why are Canada and Mexico shaking in their boots? It would be naive, if you think it is out of their good heart. It had been hurting US for the past 20 years and they did not care. This time it is going to hurt them so all this fuss. The bottom line is that they don't want to pay all the excess that they have been dumping on us while they were benefiting. USA will use the revenue generated (total around 250 billion for 2025 form tariffs) to reduce our tax, make things more affordable, inject in to our own businesses and generate more employment.

God how I wish this man was my President. Please know, Canada, that millions of Americans like myself are disgusted by the traitor in the White House.

How on earth can an American government fight Canada yet kissing Putin ass. Abraham Lincoln please wake up and see what is in white house today.

Americans who are listening to\n\nCould you please tell your premier Trump\nTo quit referring to our PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU \nAs a Governor\n\nVERy DISRESPECTFUL\nBut than again it’s coming from the Biggest Dictator in the world\n\nGOD BLESS CANADA\nKEEP CANADA GREAT\nTHE GREATEST FREE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD \n✝️??✝️??✝️??✝️??

to our American friends if you are unhappy with your new dic president please help Canada by coming on a ski trip or holiday or just bur Canadian this would help us out and undermine this terrible mistake of a president

I have been all over Canada, and i will say they are polite, kind, funny, great people. I'm from Montana, and we have always had so much in common. Americans ARE NOT in favor of the way our president, vice president, and the figure cloaked in darkness, ARE BEHAVING. PLEASE KNOW, not all Americans are in favor of our governmental policies, and some of us, quite frankly, are afraid. A lot of the American people are still the same. We want to send aid to Ukraine, we want to have a government that does its job, and we want to be friends with those on our borders. We're still here. We're not all like those on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Prime Minister Trudeau, please be aware that Americans the majority of the Americans today do not stand with this…. I truly believe most Americans have woke up they had the FAFO and do not condone him aligning himself with Putin. You’ve been more respectful by even calling him Donald because I call him either this or 45. Thank you for being true our true allies to America.

So many Americans are so horrified by what Trump is doing. We are so sorry. Please know this.

As an American, I am so sorry Canada for this mess. Please know a majority of us are suffering and never wanted this nor voted for it. I love you Canada and stand with you.

As an American, this is beyond embarrassing!!! Please know that not every American is like Trump….a majority of us aren’t!

Sir with all due respect please don’t quote this as THE AMERICANS. Adress Trump’s actions by his name

Thank you for honesty and eloquency PM Trudeau. While your tariff will hurt us, I understand this criminal residing in the peoples house is causing this response. Please know many Americans are disgusted with the convict, and the ignorant, kool aid drinking ass-holes that voted for him.. and yes that includes those evangelicals that claim to love God...

Can the governor of our 51 state please be our POTUS? That dude can speak at least 2 languages and our “leader” can’t even speak English. Trudeau cares more about Americans than Cheeto Mussolini does. We’ve got an overweight pile of $hit who wants to let the Russians control the world instead of the ??. All I can say to the world is, sorry! I tried. I didn’t vote for the grifter in chief.

On behalf of the unintelligent/uneducated Americans in our country, I am so sorry for how all this is affecting you (Canada) and other countries in our world. Please know our current Government is not a reflection of all of us—many of us are just as mortified and disturbed by what is going on?

Please know that half of us did not vote for this monstrous government and can’t comprehend the stupidity of US voters who believed the lies of right wing media .We are so confounded on what to do.We fantasize about Canada and Mexico invading the US and dividing governance between you as Americans clearly can’t govern themselves.

PM Trudeau, this president of ours does not speak for half of our country. Many of us are sickened and disgusted by his choices. We are stuck with someone we do not want! My hope is that people will remember it is Trump making these choices. Please do not hold everything against all of the American people because we are NOT ALL supporting him.

If your american and you support this clown, please move to Canada, nobody's holding here. Pack up and leave.

Please know that tRump does not represent the majority of true patriotic Americans. Not all Republicans are tRump cultists. We value our allies and we understand you standing up to a bully!

Dear our friends of the world, please know that we American disown this horrible, terrible, no good president and his government. Many of us are currently suffering, too.?

Trump does not care about Canadians,he doesn't care about Americans trump only cares about Russia and pleasing putin,as an American i am sorry people in our country made a bad mistake putting him back in after we got him out even then he tried to overthrow our government, he is a 34 count felon those thing were not enough to hold him off i am not proud to be an American i am ashamed of my country

As an American, I stand by my friends. History will judge us poorly. To my Canadian neighbors, please stay strong.

People of Canada, please know that many, many Americans are not in favor of our President's actions, policies or behaviors. Buy Canadian!!

For every single american in this comments section that is pro any foreign nation other than American, please put your money where your mouth is and move to those countries you praise so much

As an American I'm so ashamed and embarrassed. Please know this person does not support this. I think something hinky happened with this election because the country I have grown up in does not condone this. I don't know how to stop this, I don't know what is going to happen and I'm scared. This isn't the America I know and I know I'm not alone in this. Please know this isn't the people.
