I am an American who am horrified by the actions of this oligarch who has aligned himself with Putin. As a country we should be ashamed - especially those who voted this evil criminal and his cronies back into office. Obviously the dumbing down of America and an end to democracy is barreling down the train track. Thank you Canada for being a beacon in this madness.

God bless Canada. As an American, I am ashamed.

I am an ashamed American who stands with Canada and all countries who do not support Putin or Trump! Freedom for all that have humanity.

WOW! A real leader, actually leading his country with its best interest in mind! I am so ashamed to be an American right now. Can someone please save us!!!! HELP!!!!!

I’m an American & I just can’t believe this is happening to us & you! I’m so ashamed of this human running our country! I’m so sorry……

Just to be clear…. Most Americans DO NOT WANT THIS! We love you Canada, we do NOT trust Trump! we are embarrassed, ashamed and humiliated. We are so sorry!

Canadians, please boycott the hell out of the United States in every possible way you can. I know a lot of you already were, but I hope more of you do it! I'm American and my country desperately needs to be taught a lesson, and I think your country will be the one to teach it! I am so ashamed to be an American right now, but I proudly stand with Canada! ??????

Americans call your congress and express your disgust with Trump, Musk, Vance and their followers. I am ashamed Canada, Mexico, Ukraine that you are beinging treated like this.?

These actions against Canada are disgraceful. For the first time in my life I feel ashamed to say I’m an American. If there was ever a more fitting time to overthrow an American President the time is now. Trump needs to go.

And this is how great Trumps America looks like…… right? MAGA? I am ashamed to be an American citizen, we stood for democracy, freedom, American dream and now what? Thank you 77 million, who voted for convicted felon, with 6 bankruptcies, who SA women. Bravo! ?

What an absolute disgraceful time to be American. I've never been so ashamed of my country.

I am a naturalized American citizen and a veteran. NO to a Russian dictator. I am with Canada, our neighbors, friends and partners. I will fight for you without hesitation. I stand with Ukraine and their fight against the Russian invaders.\nI never voted for Trump and I am sick, horrified and ashamed of this current administration. Stay strong and thank you to Mr. Trudeau for this great lesson in statemanship.

We don’t want this either, and the current administration is not MY government and I know so many people who feel the same way. Trump and his cohorts are a danger to the American people and I am disgusted and ashamed that he is the ” leader” of my country. We stand with every true democracy against this tyrant and all who support him and his plot to destroy the United States!

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.

I’m a U.S. American and I’m so horrified, ashamed, and sad about what trump’s administration is doing. I find no fault in you doing what is right and necessary for your country. I just wish we a government that wanted what is best for us.

American here. I am embarrassed, ashamed and angry. I support our neighbors and allies, Canada, Mexico and Europe. And I support Canada doing what they must to protect themselves.

As an American, I am scared and ashamed at the same time. This is a nightmare. Trump is insane.

As an American, I am fully ashamed of trump and elon . This is horrible. I respect your country

As an American I am ashamed and embarrassed of our corrupt government. I stand with our ally Canadians. It is sickening to realize something is going to explode in the U.S. we Americans are already suffering with inflation and homelessness. It is terrible how we are raising the tariffs to our friendly Canadians. We stand with the ppl of Canada today and always! ❤

Ashamed to be an American again, thanks to trump.

Ashamed to be an American

As an American I'm so ashamed that we have a President who is so unqualified?

I am an American. I am ashamed and angered at Trump. IMPEACH HIM

I am American and as an independent i truly apologize ,and im ashamed in out elected leader and the incapable cabinet . i did not vote for him and i hope we can get control of our house again from this nuthouse i wish u well and hope that we can all get through this together instead of allowing him to continue to decide. And also i want to give Justin Trudeau the credit of a great speech. Its a breath of fresh air. I stand with everyone whos on the side of right and just peaceful interactions.

this isnt stupid at all, Trump has vested interests, it could be short sales of commodities, metals, stocks, derivatives in markets in the affected tariff countries.These investments will be carefully veiled to avoid detection by the SEC, however, he's not stupid, he is incredibly selfish. And republicans apploauding and justifying his behavior, saying he deserves the nobel peace prize should be ashamed to call themselves Americans. There is a special place in hell for those that stand neutral in times of moral crisis, but most republicans are shamelessly bootlicking this new world Nazi and his deviant lackey JD Vance. From selling Bibles to Bitcoins, Its pretty apparent Ukraine rare earth potential is probably the reason Putin and Trump have aligned.

American and North Dakota resident here. Ashamed and embarrassed to even be associated with the US and the heinous actions of our government. Stay strong Canada. We are with you! ????\n\nAlso…. While we’re at it — Any chance you guys have room for one more?? ??\n\nPls?? \n\n…For the LaHve of GawEd??\n\nh a L p. ?

As an American we are ashamed, absolutely ashamed of what Trump is doing. God have mercy! I wish so much things could be otherwise. Praying for us all. ?❤️ As an American we don’t want this!!!

I almost feel like I need to apologize to the world for the moron that is in the White House. It’s sad when you’re ashamed to be an American.

As an American, I'm ashamed. And angry. ? This is appalling.

I am American and stand with Canada! Trump does not care about our allies but bows to Putin! Does not make sense at all unless Trump is getting something in return from Putin! As an American and veteran, I am so ashamed of our government today! Sad Sad Sad!!!

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.

Thank you sir....I'm ashamed to call myself an American believe me I never voted for this maniac! I do not agree with this government at all!

As an American citizen, I am ashamed of the actions of our President.

I am ashamed of trump. This is all on him! Please world believe me Most Americans do not support this at all! I will still buy Canadian God Bless America and Canada ❤

I'm from the UK and I stand with Canada. America should be absolutely ashamed of their president. Trump treats friendly countries like this, then rolls over and becomes nothing but Putin's little bitch. Trump is pathetic and Americans are disgraced by him and his lies.

Hey Trump, this is what a real leader looks like. As an American I'm so ashamed of our government. We love you Canada.

I've never wanted to be Canadian more than today. --Ashamed American Citizen.

America is now hated - by our allies! We have become the bad guys of history. Nobody can trust us anymore. It's shameful. No matter what one thinks of Trudeau, he speaks well here, and he speaks the truth. Ignore the MAGA Americans and Russian trolls who will belittle him. He's right here, there's no escaping this. Every decent US citizen should be ashamed.

This is a president who cars about his people and will not lie to his people, we should be ashamed of ourselves as Americans who support this government.

Are we making America great again? As an American this is sickening, hope the imbeciles that voted for Trump are ashamed

As an American, we don’t want this either. I don’t understand what and why to be honest. All I know was in November 2024 I woke up to the worst feeling I have ever had. First time woke up ashamed and shame and fear to live in the United States. I never in my 60 years thought that hatred hiding behind Christianity would prevail. As an American at the last years of my life I want to say to Canada, Mexico , Puerto Rico, Ukraine and all our European allies, I am sorry we let you down.

Ashamed American here, I stand with Canada!

As an American, I'm so ashamed of my country. Half our country is against what this idiot is doing to our country.

I've never been more afraid or ashamed of being an American. Sigh. 3 years 11 months to go...

I'm ashamed to be American right now. Trump is a traitor!!\nThe prime minister is the definition of a leader.

I back you ? from a not so proud and very ashamed of our American president and government ?‍↔️??

Americans should be ashamed of themselves.
