I am so ashamed of my government!! I appreciate Canada as a neighbor to the North!! Mango Mussolini’s actions are not those of all Americans or fellow Michiganders!!

Let's be clear my fellow Americans, we will foot this bill in rising prices! Vote? 2026!

As American people, we want to still be allies and work with you too. The Trump/musk/Putin governments needs to stop their current chaotic districts activities. The Trump government does not speak for me or my fellow Americans. They only speak for themselves. They are greedy bastards!!!!

Trump missed the semesters when they covered Econ I & II. He also does not appreciate friendship and does not know how to treat people. I am devastated that my fellow Americans actually voted for him again.

My fellow Americans have never had a king before. We were lucky for a very long time. Things are going to become catastrophic. I stand with Canada and the Ukraine, always. Even when he makes saying that illegal (which will come soon).

Canadian here(Quebec) I feel sad for all the Whiskey industries in Kentucky, those workers didn't deserved the counter-effects of the tarifs. Everything can be done with respect & diplomacy, but it's not the road President Trump took. Fellow Americans, I am very sorry about that, rest assured that us here, we make the difference between your President & all of you.

We Stand With Canada. Shame on our idiot of a president. Selling us out for RUSSIA ??‍♂️ stay safe my fellow Americans

I live in New York, America and I have to say this is terrifying. It's the beginning of a very bad and difficult road for us. I still cannot believe my fellow American people voted this criminal into office again. These are some horrible decisions being made for American people by a few rich idiots.

Fellow Americans, let's save money by not buying from red USA states or Republican- allied companies, then we can go ahead and spend more to get Canadian products. Put a big MADE IN CANADA sticker on it, and I'll buy it.

I'm so embarrassed and ANGRY at Orange Hitler's stupid actions against Canada, Mexico, NATO & Ukraine.\n\nCanada, we love you and will always be grateful for you & your dependable assistance (like during Iran's takeover of US Embassy depicted in movie Argo).\n\nTHANK YOU FOR STANDING UP TO THIS BULLY TYRANT.\n\nTo my fellow Americans: Now is not the time to argue about who voted for Trump & who didn't. NOW IS THE TIME TO VOTE OUT ALL POLITICIANS WHO HAVE NO SPINE TO TELL TRUMP NO.\nVOTE. THEM. OUT.

My fellow coutryman (Americans). Next election if you are ignorant & stupid please don't vote. stay out of it.

Just 1 month into the cursed reign of the Tangerine Palpatine, we have:\n1. Tanked our stock market\n2. Tanked our economy\n3. Watched as tens of thousands of our fellow Americans have lost their jobs for no reason\n4. Alienated our closest friends and allies\n5. Made 90% of Americans worse off and poorer\n6. Made everything we consume more expensive\n7. Made elon musk even richer\n\nI've never been more ashamed and embarrassed to be an American. I stand with Canada, Mexico, Europe, and Ukraine.

Thank you fellow Americans putting crazy and stupid man the office.

We need the help from our friends to speak the Truth, clear and loud. Thank you PM Trudeau. The only winner here is Putin. He gets to pit our Allies against us while destroying Russa's biggest adversary (or we were). This is insane, idiotic and hopefully my fellow Americans will wake up and turn this around before it takes hold. Congress needs to do their job and stop the Executive Orders we are not an authoritarian nation (yet). Stand with Mexico, Canada, Ukrain and the rest of the Free Democratic world.

I’m sorry Canadians?. I don’t understand how my fellow Americans voted this guy back into the WHouse. ?

I support Canada ? Sometimes you have to lose to win!! The Trump administration is about to fall!!! PRIDE GOETH BEFORE THE FALL AND GREAT WILL BE THAT FALL!!! HOLD ON FELLOW AMERICANS BECAUSE ITS REAL RIGHT NOW!!! LION OF JUDAH ??????

My fellow Americans, we have far to many gullible and ignorant citizens in our country who voted for this idiot not once, not twice but 3 times. Insanity. Make it make sense. You voted for a proven narcissist, liar and impulsive man and now everybody in our country is going to suffer. The rest of the world is understandably concerned. We have a Putin sympathizer in the Oval Office. We have a traitor to Western democracy in our midst in power. \n\nWe now have massive layoffs coupled with cuts to vital services and help for our own citizens including Medicaid and other things. This is disturbing and troubling how fast it's unravelling. We can only hope that patriots and others can help stem this tide. We must use peaceful means to and pressure on our politicians to become more vocal in our concerns.

As usual, trump is playing to his MAGA base. He's pretty good at manipulating public sentiment. But he sure as hell isn't qualified for ANY public office, let alone POTUS. Sadly, the majority of my fellow americans have become so stupid that they don't even comprehend what's happening.\n\nI'm in my 70s, and have witnessed decades of cooperation between Canada and the US. This is a supremely disappointing development.

I want to move to Canada now. As an American I have never seen anything so stupid than what our president did. I am 1/2 Canadian and shock at what is happening to our friends up north. This was a great speech and I am very impressed with what they will do to help their fellow citizens.

Hey Canadian brothers, I'm sorry my fellow Americans elected this nut case as president.

I’ve been more afraid of being an American Citizen than I’ve ever thought conceivable. But more so I’m ashamed, ashamed that my fellow citizens voted in that monstrosity and his bottom feeder cabinet members and ‘friends’. Ashamed that the rest of us didn’t apparently work hard enough to keep him out.

Do what you need to do, voisins! It's the only way to make my fellow Americans understand the consequences of their votes. ??‍♀️✌?✊?

Yes, we will be hurt. There is not a problem with the American people, but there is a problem with the American government. We will stand with you against trump's robber baron policies.\n At the same time, We Will support our nation and fellow Canadians through these 'stupid' times.\n With thanks, from British Columbia ??

He is a Democratic American. I really like this guy. Won’t I’ve always had a lot of respect for Canadians. They’re friendly. They’re nice people and don’t tell me to go live there. I’ll stay here and standby. My fellow Americans that don’t want tyranny. And I’m in my golden years and I had to see this. And I can’t imagine I just survived open heart surgery woke up during the surgery surgery and came out of it alive to be brought back back to what this is happening in my country.

Trump is a disaster for the U.S., for Canada, Ukraine and almost everyone else...except maybe Russia, China and Belarus. \nI, as an American, will buy anything I can that is made in Canada.\n\nMy fellow Americans: take not of how an intelligent, well informed, honest leader sounds like on the world stage. Compare this to how Trump sounds. Let's wake up.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee! Solidarity with Canada! AND fellow- Americans!

.... Ugh. I don't understand my fellow Americans. I do not understand why they would want to have someone like Donald Trump represent us. I mean is he trying to piss off everyone outside of the US? Don't even get me started on that Trump Gaza AI generated video. Does he really view himself as being a gold statue? I seem to remember a story in a book about people that worship the gold idle of a bull. So does Trump think he's bigger than God? Obviously. Maybe it's the end of times and Donald Trump or Elon musk is the Antichrist. But nevertheless it's a shameful time to be an American citizen.

Canadian prime minister is addressing his fellow countrymen in BOTH ENGLISH AND FRENCH. Americans refuse to be multilingual and multicultural.

From a proud Canadian living in Spain for 25 years, I'm supporting you my fellow Canadians! I've stopped ordering products from the USA... I won't step foot there until this imbecil is kicked out of office by smart Americans. Trudeau you were even being nice when calling dumb orange man smart.

Trump truly is an idiot I am shocked that our political system is crumbling right before our eyes becouse of one man and that is wanna be Dictator Trump who needs to be Impeached ASAP and his cronies starting with the disgusting and Discrase of a Vise President JD Vance who should resign immediately fellow Americans we need to wake up and Fast yes I had voted for Trump thinking he was gonna make America ?? great yeah well he duped us all he is slowly Destroying America he has his own agenda which obviously is not Good. God bless our Country and Slava Ukraine ?

Canada has been so unfair in trade with the U S for years imbalance, soaking us with high prices for construction material, resource material, auto and mechanical products, we can make and produce our own shit, trudeau can go scratch. And i would hope my fellow Americans would stand up to these threats, where are your balls???

As an American, I feel ashamed and humiliated by how my fellow Americans behave and blindly worship this ??.

This is HEARTBREAKING, because Trudeau is speaking to EVERYONE like a leader SHOULD!!! He left NO doubt how much he cares about his fellow citizens, and that their government will help them as much as they can!! \nThis is what AMERICANS dream about, a leader that cares about us!!! We wish and pray that our leader looked and spoke like that!!! \nCANADA is showing the WORLD what TRUE LEADERSHIP LOOKS LIKE!!! It's HEARTBREAKING for ALL the Canadian and American people that are gonna feel the pain, and NOT the BILLIONAIRES that are INTENTIONALLY hurting ALL Americans. \n\nI had a tear in my eye, because of the overwhelming pride I had for Canada and Trudeau!! \nAmericans are hanging their heads in embarrassment!!! \nGo Canada!!????\nGo Ukraine!!????

I see a lot of traitors in here in the comment section praising Trudeau and siding with Canada. I am neither American nor Canadian but in times like this you should stand with your fellow countryman.

i stand with Canada and Ukraine. TO my fellow Americans... you have done this to us by electing a corrupt, criminal communist and unhinged man as president of our nation. You have destroyed us with this maggot infested political party that will only bring on WW3 and the lost respect of every nation on earth. I am ashamed to be an American.

Us sane Americans are afraid of what this will mean for us and how we will survive, but I also don't fault Canada, as my fascist President has brought this upon us. And if anything, hopefully this might be a step toward stopping Trump's tyranny. I stand with Canada and I stand with the USA and my fellow Americans, but FDT. This is not my America or the America that my grandparents and other ancestors fought for.

Alright, fellow Americans, let’s begin with the basics—Canada doesn’t have presidents; they have ‘Prime Ministers.’ ?

As a hard-working American, this is disheartening. And unnecessary I did NOT vote for this!!!! Ask me what is important to me, and don't start war's against our fellow countries that I didn't sign up for!!!

Poor guy thinks my fellow Americans will actually listen to facts. lol

Exactly Me Treadaeux Exactly Mr Trudeau! He who shall not be named is not my president. Nothing he is implementing will hurt his wallet!! It will only harm those of us who are working class! I’m sorry for this, but I did Not vote for him. I am utterly shocked at my fellow Americans who voted for him. If I had the resources I would be looking for another country to call home!

An american living in Germany. The Canadians were (and are) my neighbors. I grew up in Maine, and no one one should piss off Canadians, it can only go bad. But EXACTLY that is what trump wants, that everything goes bad. It is not only going bad, everything is going to shit, my fellow americans are too stupid to notice or care. This is gonna really backfire for the usa, either Civil War, or WW3, trump wants nothing less.

my fellow americans its gotten to the point where we going to have to bleed in order to take this country back we need to organize and stop this trump stuff once and for all

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 .

Trump needs to go .. he's going to literally destroy everything the USA has accomplished.. not to mention the disgusting ideology he has of dictatorship . wake up fellow Americans.

As an American citizen who has seen through all of Trump's lies, abuses, and racism since the 1980s, I am sadly amazed that so many of my fellow citizens have bought into his transparent disregard for our nation, it's people, and the world at large. Trump has created a rift of division unparalleled in our history. At the same time, the world at large has never seemed more united. Until this dark era passes and my nation returns, I will take strength in being a citizen of the world.

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!!!

As Americans we pray for us and our fellow partners in different countries. \nOur brothers and sisters whoever you are we are praying for you as we are bringing ourselves we will get through this we are fighters with God's help and a Virgin Mary nothing will stop us and we show compassion, understanding and it will be hard we will try our best. ❤❤

Thank you PM Trudeau for this speech. i hope my fellow Americans are listening-so we begin process for returning to truth, honesty, friendship with our allies, and an intelligent realistic president and government. A government which doesn't bow to Putin.
