I think it's important to citizens of the world outside of America to know that not all of us represent this government! I am a veteran and never would turn my back on leadership... Until this clown. I stand with Canada, and all of you who have stated as much. We who didn't vote trump in can now only stand by and watch this mistake happen! It's going to take nations to come together with us to stop this dictator from destroying everything we've fought for! I have given my life to the military as we deployed to many countries to support efforts to rebuild after disasters both natural and man made. Now I call on this nations to stand ready when we need you most! Please don't give up on those of us who still care. It's time!!!

Please Please Please DO NOT RESIGN! Trudeau should continue be our leader. He is smart! He is the best! But US has to change one Law, the one where Obama can come back to lead US. He was the best president of US history! Ever! Trump has to go. He lost it... I cant believe how anyone voted for him anyways, but what's done is done. Fix it now.

Trump doesn't care about us!! He is a hateful, ignorant, weak, filthy, coward. I apologize to all of our alias. Please know that not all Americans are like TRUMP. With all my heart, I'm sorry.

Say it correctly please, the American PEOPLE are NOT enemies of Canada….President Trump and those who voted for him are enemies of Canada. Many Canadians and Americans are being harmed by a president they did not vote for and we don’t want Canadians and Americans who are innocent to suffer. A great day of us Americans want to remain friends with Canadians and are very sad about what is going on.

Trump is Pleasing Putin as a Request by her Russian wife...???

Canada England France Poland Germany NATO please please please please please liberate us here in the United States from dictator Trump

President Trump is doing this with his cabinet please do not blame the American people not everybody agrees our president Trump and what he's doing so please keep that in mind

He spoke eloquently using FACTS not LIES like Donald Trump. He didn’t sugar coat anything. He spoke directly to Donald. \n\nTRUMP has been making DUMB DECISIONS over and over. THIS TIME is being controlled and e has shown to the world thatHE IS THE PUPPET of a ?BILLIONAIRE IMMIGRANT WHOSE GOAL IS TO CONVERT THE US TO A COMMUNIST COUNTRY imitating HITLER. \n\nDonald LIED to VOTERS promising to reduce inflation and increase jobs. Donald please STOP BEING PUPPET OF ELON, VANCE. And all others. \n\nTHIS IS NOT HOW TO MAKE THE US GREAT AGAIN… YOU ARE MAKING IT THE WORST and destroying everything great former leaders worked hard to build. \n\nYOUR EGO is making you blind. \nYOU LIED using God’s name in vain to obtain votes. \n\nWORST ADMINISTRATION IN HISTORY\n\nGod sees everything.

US and Canada fighting is exactly what Trump did, because he wants to please his foreign masters. Scum bag!

Americans stop using Ukraine for your puppet war stop the war its not about pleasing Putin its about stopping a war that will lead to ww3 fk your pride stop the war yes Trump is trash he only think about americans thats why he suck

Washington State resident here. Could we secede and merge with BC? Seriously, Trump has made it absolutely clear that his actions and intentions have nothing at all to do with what is good for the ordinary citizens of this country or the future of American democracy. Please know that you have our full support for your retaliatory actions. We will endure this together until this treasonous egotist in the White House is reined in somehow.

This is very sad and is all because of one evil person, Trump and his people. GOD, please help us all

Please know most Americans cannot stand Trump. He needs removed asap

Oh this guy doesn't speak for 90% of Canadians! We dont want him leading our country! Please remember 47% of Canadians want to call Trump our President!?

I am so ashamed of the American Government, and I am sickened by Trump and his fascist , divisive agenda.\nPrime Minister Trudeau, I am so very sorry! Please know that many Americans share your sentiments. Pray for us.

This is the president we need but dont deserve at this moment, shame on us, lets do better, fuck Trump. Please dont give up on us Canada in our darkest hour, we do appreciate you

Please say trump did it, not America. Most of us do NOT support this. We love our Canadian neighbors. And we don't blame you for your reaction. One day, we will return to a positive, constructive relationship!

Sorry, Trump does not care of past allies he is taking the US into a dictatorship. Just observing from Downunder the past few days shows clearly the tyrrany of authoritarianism as Trump and the Maga cult are destroying Democracy and the US Constitution. Only Americans can stop this trajectory to save themselves and everyone from Putin. They Trump Musk Vance and Maga are a national and international disgrace and a threat to the world… please all stop this tragedy by a convicted felon and insurrectionist. Listen to Bernie Sanders.

Please don’t blame American citizens this is Trump and his oligarchy

Mr Trump is a idiot and Racist and traitor and evil. Please Americans get Mr Trump out as soon as possible. It's a shame everyone is scared of the traitor Mr Trump

Don't pull Trump out. This is the only way he can destroy the United States to become North Korea having no friends. I like to see that happening since I don't live there. I put my money at safe place and wait for financial crisis to come. Please do more crazy stuff Trump. I can't wait for other countries to join force against Trump. But I feel sorry for the next president. He will have a hell of mess to solve.

As an American citizen I just want to say thank you our president is so screwed up he's taking our nation down the toilet and none of the Republicans will even help they won't voice their opinions they won't help their own people that is shameful so please do what you have to do we understand we voted for Biden vice president not Trump and no he is not a very smart guy Pam or Elon

I do not know if tariffs or Trump's actions are the correct thing to do. But why can't the USA do 25% tariffs, if Canada has 65% tariffs on the USA? Why is Canada demanding the USA support them? Someone please explain it to me. And Trudeau could have picked up the phone and called Trump, this speech was not meant to solve anything. What is so brilliant except to heighten rhetoric and tension? Someone needs to be a grown up but going on CNN and insulting Trump isn't the way.

Please rephrase to Donald Trump launched a trade war with Canada. This is his doing and not all people of United States voted for him. We are also a victim of his delusions. God help us all. ??

At least half of our country doesn’t want this either. We feel helpless (those who oppose Trump) but we will keep speaking out. We value you Canada, and our other long term allies. I am sorry Trump and MAGA is such a major cancer that we cannot seem to cut out. Please consider adopting states that want to leave the union. That would piss Trump off the most…losing territory to you.

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?

Please President Trump send scud missals into that soft gay country

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 ❤

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.

What's the trolling horse? Cause Trump is doing stuff and nobody's watching what he's doing. Guess what? This can be World War 3, no matter what Canadians do to protect their borders. He aint gonna be satisfied anyway, so we gotta cut our resources and go somewhere else. Take our goods and baskets out of the basket. And start dealing outside of the US that was our big mistake we don't want to deal with Russians. This putin is nothing but a dictator please nobody

Please take notice Trump!!!! Turn the madness around and put aside your ego. You are destroying your own country. From Australia.

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!!

Trump is acting without any care to what the people of this country want or need. What's happening is terrifying to so many of us. Please know that what he is doing is not supported by the majority of the country.

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

Not United States just trump please correct your words sir lol

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!!!

Dear Canadian neighbors. \n I apologize for our crazy Karen’s trump and musk. \n Please be patient. \n I think we will both come through this in the long run. \n You are so lucky to have a President who cares for ALL OF YOU. \n A REAL MAN, not a BULLY. \n This will indeed be tough times for all of us. \n God Bless God Speed\n from USA

I'm a 71 year old US citizen and I hate Trump. I didn't vote for him, nor would I EVER! I'm truly afraid of what our future holds. Please pray for us, the regular folks, not billionaires. We love you Canada.?? ❤

Please know not all of us voted for Trump and we do not stand behind what he's done. He is a jerk.

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!!!!!

Help us find the way to get rid of trump please

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

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

I hate Donald Trump!!! Such a weasel! Can someone please get rid of him

He is calling him Donald ... JT doesn't have the stature or the assertiveness to act that way. For one thing, he is still just too young. Mr. Trump is older and very experienced and very knowledgeable and quite insightful. So that makes a difference. Please don't try to overdo your presentation, it does not work.

Mr. Trudeau you are wrong about Donald Trump, he is the biggest fraud that has ever been President of this country! Please don't blame all of us for this moron who had an election bought for him by a Nazi, Elon Musk! Hopefully the two clowns, Trump and Vance meet their end before our country is destroyed1 They are both traitors to Democracy and deserve the fait of Traitors!
