I am an American citizen. I did not vote for Trump. I would never vote for somebody like Trump and I’m sorry for what he’s doing to Canada but you do what you have to do we’ll survive, but somebody has to put Trump in his place.

LOL IF TRUMP WANTS TO STAY IN GOOD WITH THE PEOPLE THAT VOTE HIM IN THIS TARIFF SHIT IS MOST DEFINITELY NOT THE WAY TO GO , HE WILL FIND THAT OUT SOON WHEN HIS PR RATINGS COME OUT AND HIS PEOPLE PAYING WAY MORE FOR GAS , FOOD, AND BUILDING MATERIALS

As an American, I am disappointed in our country for yet again voting for Trump. I mourn that our country defunded education which lead to this mess.

Donald Trump’s latest 25% tariff on Canada isn’t about America—it’s about himself. Now that he’s not begging for your votes, he’s unleashed: no accountability, no loyalty to the people, just pure greed. This is a blatant betrayal of public trust—a president exploiting power to pad his pockets while burning bridges with allies. Wake up, America!.

As an American I apologize to Canada and all of our friends. I did not vote for Trump. Many of us do not want him either. Donald Trump is a liar and mentally insane. We the people of the usa should sue our government for mental and emotional abuse. I side with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine.

Make sure you thank people you know who voted for Trump for this.

As an American, i am so sorry about this mess. U guys do not deserve tariffs. U have always been generious, kind, hard working, and polite. I did not vote for trump, along with many others, i knew trump with his huge ego, he would ruin everything he touches. It's gonna get a lot worse before it gets better. We should b working together, not fighting and being selfish. I hang my head low today and pray for all of us. So sorry

I'm a US citizen I did not vote for Trump I vote for anybody but Trump. The Canadian leader that is a real leader someone who cares about his people and his neighbors.. I mean why are we picking a fight with Canada?

So sad what's happening in this country right now. I'm an American and did not vote for trump and I'm with Ukraine and Canada.

Americans don't want this, donald trump and every single person working for HIM do not agree with this and are truly ashamed of our current fake government. trump wants to de the dictator of America. That will never happen. My heart is broken for what they are doing and we will correct this. Even the people who voted for him are now figuring out that he said everything they wanted to here to get their vote was a lie and would never fulfill his empty promices(go figure). We true American patriots are truly sorry. Canada is our neighbors and friends.

I love Canada and I love all of the Canadian people as an American I feel really bad for you guys because you’re going through what we went through in the Biden administration. It’s gonna get worse until it gets better but it’s up to all of you Canadians to vote the right way next time you need a real man who has power And can deal with your country and puts it first and the citizens first this guy showed up in a Barbie premiere movie wearing the pink outfit that says enough. Trump knows that he needs to go it almost seems like he’s gonna get rid of all the weak leaders so we can have a power for world and bring world Peace. Pray for you guys it will get better but you need to vote him out?

Canada ?? ?? American minority ? Patriots who VOTED for Democracy and Kamala Harris ?? say ??Trumps?? 79million voter's don't speak for the other 200 million of us.\nWe and the world ? don't need him.? He's a fraudulent business practice con-artist.

Trump will not last for four years because of what he is doing…..we as Americans vote for impeachment of him.

Glad I didn't vote for the traitor. All people that voted for Trump knew he was despicable, he's been bankrupted multiple times therefore doesn't mind bankrupting America & he's the biggest liar ever.....this has been his whole life.....smh

The American people don't want this either! We're mortified at the idiot in the White House. We all know this isn't about fentanyl. It's about Trump and Vance destroying all of the relationships with our allies and aligning with the communist/dictatorial countries in the world. Is this what y'all voted for, MAGA?

The majority of America is against Trump, and his tariffs. Also against his criminal, selfish, narcissistic actions. I am an informed voter. So indeed for this reason.. I did not vote for Trump. I voted against him. Come on midterm elections! We have to win back the Senate and the House!

Thank you to all the idiots who voted for Trump and put us and the world into this clusterf***.

This was all started by Trump who is cozying up with Putin. Watch out Americans. You’ll be paying the price for the MAGA vote. ??????

This my immature, uneducated, and foolish countrymen that voted for Trump is what a leader is. Zelensky, Trudeau, Marcon, Cholz, even Starmer are leaders. Trump and Putin are leaders of fear, hatred, rhetoric, lies, murder, and nepotism on their highest forms.

Thank you Trump you f us again I'm glad I did not vote for him. ?

As a Retired US Marine, I am in aww, if you are US Military and voted for Trump… as your leader… who has no leadership traits … than you are a traitor and have failed to uphold your oath to the constitution..not to a king or wanna be dictator.. HONOR COURAGE COMMITMENT … SF 1775 ???

I cannot believe this is happening. We do not want this. How dare Trump dismantle our government and our precious alliances. Those that voted for him must not have understood what they were voting for. Trump’s legacy will be one of great shame for his family.

We need to impeach trump and JD . He has turned its back on our allies and made friends with dictators. I feel bad for Americans that did not vote for trump.

Thank you for sending us this speech. I wholeheartedly agree and support you! As an American, 81 year old woman, I have never seen such a terrible president. Mr trump has always dreamed of being a dictator Never have I been so disgusted in my life. I, did, not vote for this person that I hate with all my being. I hope someone fixes this before I die of being sick of him! He is not only against most of the world, he is also against the people that he is supposed to protect!

This administration will go down at the worst administration in all history of America. The people that voted for Trump will go down as the same despicable traders cool in all of American history. I hope you hear that what he says you’re great great kids you’re great great grandkids will understand by itself. You cannot wipe that out. You can’t burn that book. You can’t change that note They will be talking about economy classes. They gonna be talking about this history classes they gonna be talking about Trump and JD Vance and this administration has the worst administration modern day America even in the past the worst thing that’s gonna happen is all of these guys who find himself alienated when they die. They will find himself alienated. Their kids will find himself alienated of their existence. The only way their kids is gonna escape that they have a daughters The only way you gonna escape that as a man who is back in this administration is to have daughters that could change their fucking name other than that any mail that is from these despicable despicable if you watch the movie, the despicable, even the guy that was the biggest biggest most craziest most narcissistic, OK we talk about the dude with all the minions minions. He even had a common sense and had a understanding and had a heart this administration talk about Biden talk about bull talk about Obb like they did something different. They didn’t do something different Obama Bush and NN and Biden did way better this administration they tagged the republican party for years to come. I hope you remember that no one in their mind will vote for Republican for years to come. I guarantee that, you let me give you 50 cash OK you don’t got businesses I could hop in and out of this country on a private plane or even take first class you guys are stuck here. Don’t talk to me about shit now because I got currency different countries, bro so when I’m talking to you, I’m talking to you low life concept of a plan. I ain’t talking to the plan. The plan is for the rich. I got money. I qualify for what he’s giving mequalify for what he’s giving me. Your ad administration is giving me I qualify but but what about you guys? Are you guys qualified? Do you guys have businesses? Do you guys have real equity in your businesses? You know most business self for million dollars you know most houses if you put them in transfer them they into like businesses with real substance they can sell for $1 million but do you guys know that no you don’t so when I’m speaking to you guys I hope none of you come back with your little turbo controlling shit because most of you broke you concept truck drivers low level budget you guys are low budget so I hope you guys understand and don’t come back to me with your low yeah yeah Donald Trump baby talk you understand what I just said don’t come back to me with that. I really make money you guys don’t your tax return is below 50,000 you guys gonna be in trouble? Good luck I stand with Canada.

To put in perspective, only 1/6th of the US population voted for Trump. The rest of us are just standing here watching the mess unfold, powerless.

Trump has been in office less than 2 months and has already ruined the economies of 3 countries. ?Good job America. You elected a moron as POTUS. Enjoy your incoming recession. You got what you voted for. A lunatic failed felon. Sad it effects all who did not vote for him.

Looking at these comments about trump is mind blowing. Canada and all the other countries are not going to pay for our national debt!!! It’s freaking stupid to say you stand with Canada and you didn’t vote for this. . . Canada is barely hanging on too. It’s America that has been carrying all these countries for far too long and what are they giving back???!! You people need to fully understand the reality of the situation before commenting your nonsense. If anything, leave our country!! You people came here and took it from us!! Remember that!

To everybody in here that I didn't vote for Trump and all that other crap remember if you voted for Kamala nothing would be done right now and the fentanyl would still be pouring into America along with Untold millions of illegal aliens so don't think you're cleansing your soul

As an American who did not vote for the giant orange useless idiot, I apologize to Canada, Mexico, and the American voters who had enough common sense to not vote for trump.

Dear Mr. President Trump, would you please reconsider welcoming these wonderful fellow North Americans living in these TEN Canadian Provinces, not as the 51st State, but as TEN States, when being invited into the United States of America? These Canadian Provinces being Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan.\n\nSuggested is to make Canada’s existing 10 Provinces into 10 individual United States States. Canada will benefit with a strong 10 State influence within 60 United States governance affairs. Benefits are 10 more States on a balanced display welcomed as 10 white stars within the beautiful United States of America field of Blue of our Flag. Other countries will see North America’s Great Power when 60 glorious States, when combined, and working well together, communicating best when communicating with each other only in English, when English is the United States official National Language. No more Government waste of having multi language signage. Another geologically considered North American country, Greenland, with 4 more territories may wish to add four more States, as well as the many existing United States Territories across the globe may desire Statehood. The Sun will never set on the United States. As for 10 Canadian States, think of the  benefit of 20 mostly conservative thinking U.S. Senators which equals a larger majority of conservative votes in the larger U.S. Senate when composed of 120 Senatorial political leaders. 120 U.S. Senators keep the Filibuster procedure balanced. 10 Canadian Provinces converted into 10 United States States equals many more conservative House of Representatives votes enhancing the conservative majority of political leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives. So many good reasons why Canada’s 10 Provinces, with a mostly conservative thinking population of thinkers, should be transformed into 10 new United States States, not just one United States. Yes....10 more States that is the helpful way forward for the United States to have a very dominant conservative thinking population of United States Congress Political Leaders, resulting in a long term more stable United States Congress representing 60 United States, thinking more conservative, thinking more logical, thinking more common sense thoughts, thinking more capitalist job creation thoughts, thinking more tax cut thoughts, are just some of the benefits of having 60 United States of America States on  display, and functioning efficiently going forward for all the World’s Countries to marvel at.

Clowns in my country got brainwashed for trump and thinking it’s cool voting for him people need to get educated before voting

I didnt vote for trump, i didnt vote for any of this, and Trudeau is now gonna take it out on me… yay… f u all

It's difficult, I mean Canadians' disgust, insult and anger at all of these completely unwarranted tariffs is not directed at the American people, it's at the crass, unhinged baffoon Trump who has enacted them, and yet (and this is where it gets difficult) over half of you voted for this obscene idiot as your president! How it is that there would ever been more than a dozen people who would vote for Trump is beyond me; he is NOT an honorable person and has not one redeeming quality. He is a vile, snorting pig, and no, I'm not insulting him, I'm describing him. He has to go.

Trump is an absolute disgrace. Worst president since James Buchanan. Never in my life have I been more embarrassed for my country. As far as Trump, I didn't vote for that bastard but I'm still embarrassed and ashamed...

I am an American and I stand with Canada. I'm ashamed of the current American government/regime. Never voted for Trump.

Remember knowone voted for Trump, Elon musk voted him in! USA needs to investigate!

Proud Canadian here. So, we all know, including the Americans, that trump is a moron. In my books, he is the economic equivalent of Hitler, and no different from Putin. But my question is, how do you Americans who voted for this bully, feel now? I get it, a lot of American are against what he is doing. But the majority of you voted him in.

Trump and his dogs Vance and Musk are sick … they are dangerous and too many americans have no brains at all who voted for them! I am all sorry for you Canada

Please Canada don't hate Americans hate Trump. Smart Americans hate him too it was dumb American voters that did this the smart ones voted for Harris.

It’s so funny the excuse that Trump uses to justify his actions against allies such as Canada when in reality there is far more drugs going from USA to Canada than there is the other way around. This has never been about drugs or anything other than a personal financial gain for Trump and his own buddies like Putin. It’s a shame innocent people are caught in the middle but America did vote for him so hopefully eyes will start to open to the truth when it finally starts affecting American pockets directly as unfortunately that’s the only way you can get through to most of those kinds of people.

Trump is a coward and we will suffer. Its terrifying to have a coward as a leader. Are we witnessing an intentional total collapse? Why did people vote for this?

~ WE know Bro .... U can Blame all Trumps Drunk Hillbillies for this one ..... They were to Thick to see a Liar & NYC Con man like Trump ... U get what you voted for

To Americans in the comments saying they stand with us: Thank you, but your actions are more effective than a Youtube comment. Contact your local congressperson and make your view on this matter abundantly clear. The only ones who can stop Trump's lunacy are the American people themselves. I don't care if you voted or him or not, support most of what he says, or none of it, you can't support something like this which only hurts both of us, and you should not support your leader becomng Putin's favourite new 'pet.' \n\nGet your heads out of the clouds, look at a map and realize that we've always been right there, a good neighbour that never gives your trouble. Let's be friends again.

I’m an American that voted for trump. I’m sorry everyone.

On behalf of the people who voted for Kamala, please accept our apology. This is the height of stupidity on the part of the Trump crime family.

I am an American. I did not vote for Trump. He is a narcissistic bully and has alienated us from our allies while he kisses Putin’s a**. Please know not all Americans support this.

I weep for what other countries who feel they have been forced to do, with no blame towards them. I scream raving mad at the people that voted trump into office. You people are destroying my country.

I really hope that those who supported Trump swallow their pride and vote him and his croneys out

Hahaha… oh no!… not Canada!… hilarious… trump is fixing all of the problems with the system, and making it fair to the rest of the world… instead of the USA taking it in the A*s… when we’re the ones paying for it… we the people voted for this!… in a couple of years, the whole world will see that the USA economy is the best ever, and will follow in trumps footstep to become prosperous
