This is embarrassing!!! This American stands with our allies! I didn’t vote for him but what the hell America—- enough of you did! You know what he stood for!! You knew what he’d do!

89 million Americans didn't vote

I'm American and I hope the world knows that most Americans do not agree with Trump and his co-workers,\nI am not a Trump supporter I never have and never will, He won because many of his supporters voted for\nthere hate twords anyone that didn't look like them and now they are also screwed. Trump needs to be\nimpeeched and removed from office before the US is ran into the ground.

❤ Canada. We, the sane, non-MAGAt Americans, also do not want this, nor did we vote for this because we did NOT vote for an obviously mentally ill, functionally illiterate, elderly man with signs of dementia, whose main function besides destroying our country to enrich himself & all of his millionaire & billionaire buddies, is acting as a useful idiot pain for Putin. We, the Americans who value what our country has stood for, whose fathers & and grandfathers fought in both World Wars, who lived in the time before all of the current vaccines existed, who believe in equality, who value the immigrants--documented or undocumented, who believe our country should welcome them & make their paths to citizenship easier because we understand how our country & economy benefit from them living in this country, who understand & value the roles that the WHO, NATO, & the United Nations have played in keeping us ALL safer for many decades bc we REMEMBER or were told by our parents, what it was like b4 those things existed, who either lived thru The Great Depression or had parents & grandparents did, understand what the economic crisis that Trump & his band of greedy ahole idiots are deliberately causing. WE didn't do this. WE fought against it. We tried to explain & warn people about what is happening & what will happen, but you didn't EFFING LISTEN. WE are ANGRY. WE will NOT help any of you who caused this & this includes every MSM who is too afraid to speak truth to power. Start doing that NOW. Start with THIS: It's called The Gulf of Mexico, NOT the Gulf of America. Eff every Trump supporters & GOP politician--at EVERY level of government. Trump can TRY to hide what he's doing to the economy in his stupid reports. Do you honestly believe the average American pays attention to those? No, most are too busy worrying over how to pay their bills & all they'll see is that their situation is getting worse. They can't find a job. They can't afford gas. They can't afford groceries. You can't cover any of that up. WE stand with Canada, Ukraine, the EU, & every other ally nation. Not Russia. Putin can go straight to hell & the sooner the better.

So embarrassed to be an American! I didn’t vote for Trump! I knew his Presidency AGAIN ….. would be a shit show! So sorry for Canada! Retired! Can’t afford food now! Six months from now everything will be unaffordable! Thank the maga idiots for voting him in! Personally I think he and Elon have rigged it!

I called the Canadian embassy in Washington DC this morning. I told them as an American citizen. It saddens me and breaks my heart that we are treating our allies with such disrespect. I do not stand with the United States government and their treatment of our allies. I also called the Mexican embassy and told them the same thing. I didn’t announce Trump in his cabinet and what they’re doing to our economy that we have worked so hard to resurrect again after he was president last time. I, urge every person who does not agree with what is going on to call the Canadian and the Mexican embassies and just let them know that we stand in solidarity with them and against our government here!

Who the fuck is this clown. No right addressing American citizens. Didn't he resign? Gtfo

Its a tragic turn in history; US + Russia, smh. Canada go trade with us in Europe and Australia, we love you! ❤??????\nAnd to all the americans that didn't want this, take care and get rid of him fast!

I am an American. I apologize to Canada. I am ashamed and embarrassed to be an American at this time. Millions of us didn't vote for this criminal and traitor.

As an American, I didn't vote for Trump, and I certainly don't want this. So sorry Canada ?? ?...and I'm sorry that too many of the American people fell for Trump's lies ?.

Why is he talking like us Americans want this? This isn't what we want! There are protests and riots taking off all over the country. I am a US Army Future Soldier, I didn't join for this!

As an American that didn't vote for Trump and his parties. Go ahead and raise tariffs on America. We want Trump and his goons to fall flat on their faces.

This is insane that some of us Americans didn't ask for this liberal or conservative we didn't ask for a monarch I hope that every maga cult person wakes up so we can kick this madman out of office

As an American, we didn't want this either. The Americans who voted for Trump didn't want to believe his true agenda and we are all paying the price for it. Siding with Putin is beyond scary. Our own President is a traitor and makes zero effort to hide it. We are in deep trouble

As a black American who didn’t vote for this. Go crazy Canada.

From America, the world really acts like we owe them something.\n\nWe get called imperialists when we help, cowards and weaklings when we don’t, we get reprimanded and shit on about how we should get our nose out of everyone’s business. The rest of the world seems to have a hate boner for the US yet can’t even be bothered to figure out how to not start new world wars, can’t even be bothered to take in and handle their own refugees, can’t even be bothered to help your own people.\n\nWe The People are growing real tired of our treatment on the world stage. Furthermore, we have our own issues. We have to focus on our own country and people, because as it stands many of us are struggling to figure out how to pay rent without picking up 2nd jobs or side hussle’s. Please understand this, we voted for Donald Trump. Flaws and all. He didn’t cheat or steal his way in. He isn’t a threat to democracy, or the stability of Europe. He’s and American president for America and if any non Americans wanna take issue with that. Then come get your citizenship and vote for it, but until then, stop crying about what America is doing and focus on your own country. Who knows, if you do your own country might actually be notable enough for you to understand my frustrations :)

As a Canadian, I didn’t vote for Trudeau but I have to hand it to him, he has expressed the thoughts and feelings of the majority of Canadians very well. Canadians are generally pretty laid back and easy going, often too polite for our own good. However, as the Americans in 1812, the Germans in WW1 and WW2, the Chinese and North Koreans in the Korean War and the Taliban in Afghanistan found out we don’t shy away from a fight when we are provoked. We will never bow down to that orange orangutang in the White House.

He didn't mention how what he implemented actually helped with combating the Drugs Americans were smuggling into Canada. Kinda classy he didn't deflect like like the Americans do.

I'm American, and I didn't vote for the orange head. I support Canada

As an American who didn’t vote for Trump and thought Kamala was too right, this is like watching a sinking ship, but I have to watch the people who drilled the hole realize that it’s not such a beautiful feature for a ship.?

What I'm hearing from.our elected Prime Minister (even though I didn't vote for him) is honest&outstanding! he should not step down as this ridiculous $$ grab from Trumpty!!!!he should be do this to the other nasty 2 Nasty Dictators,not Canadian *s that for Centuries have spent our hard earned $$ &our fallen Heroes that died &followed the American beliefs to Freedom! Just discussing attitude!

Make that make sense boy he's already had all my attention and then he said that and had 200% \nI'm an American and I wish I could make it make sense all I can say is I didn't vote for him & he(Trump) is so very deeply embarrassing

Polish-American here, \n\nI didn't want this trade war with our Canadian brothers and sisters. \n\nWe don't need tariffs, we can work together for our prosperity. We must stop this madness and protect the values of the Western World.\n\nWake up Americans, WAKE UP!

Bravo!?????? I am an American and I stand with Canada. Leaders from other countries around the world should be as strong as your leader Trudeau! This message could not be more clear or direct. And I’m glad Trudeau didn’t call him with president in front of his name. trump doesn’t deserve it. He is a disgrace to America and exactly what America is not about. No one knows how he could get here But it’s a nightmare that we are trying to wake up from. Trump has spread cancer in America and we are fighting for our lives. We are deeply sorry for all the pain we are causing people around the world. This is our fight and we unfortunately are making it everyone’s problem. We need help, so thank you for everything you are doing.

The Mexican President CLAUDIA SHEINBAUM writes to Trump and Musk on behalf of THE REST OF THE WORLD:\n\nSo, you voted to build a wall… Well then, my dear Americans, even if you don’t know much about geography—after all, for you, “America” is your country and not an entire continent—it’s important that before you lay the first stone, you know what you’re locking out with this wall.\n\nOutside, there are 7 billion people; but since the concept of “people” doesn’t seem to interest you much, let’s call them consumers instead.\n\nThere are 7 billion consumers ready to replace the iPhone with a Samsung or Huawei within 42 hours. They can also swap Levi’s for Zara or Massimo Dutti.\n\nQuite comfortably, within six months, we can stop buying Ford or Chevrolet vehicles and switch to Toyota, KIA, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Subaru, Renault, or BMW, which are technically far superior.\n\nThese 7 billion people could also cancel their Direct TV subscriptions and—even if we wouldn’t like it—stop watching Hollywood movies, opting instead for Latin American or European productions, which are superior in quality, content, and cinematography.\n\nAs incredible as it may sound, we can stop traveling to Disney and instead visit Xcaret in Cancún, Mexico, Canada, or Europe—there are many incredible destinations in South America, Asia, and Europe.\n\nAnd believe it or not: There are even better burgers in Mexico than McDonald’s—with higher nutritional value.\n\nHas anyone ever seen a pyramid in the United States? In Egypt, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, Sudan, and many other countries, there are pyramids with fascinating cultures. Take a look at where the wonders of the ancient and modern world are located… None of them are in the U.S. Too bad for Trump—otherwise, he would have bought and resold them!\n\nWe know that Adidas exists, not just Nike, and we can start consuming Mexican sneakers like Panam.\n\nWe know far more than you think; for example, we know that if these 7 billion consumers stop buying your products, unemployment will rise, and your economy will collapse so severely within your racist wall that you’ll beg us to tear it down. We didn’t want anything, but… You wanted a wall? Then you’ll get a wall.\n\nSincerely, \nTHE REST OF THE WORLD. \n\nPlease forward this message to 12 people. If you don’t, nothing will happen—except that many people won’t learn about these realities. \n\nCLAUDIA SHEINBAUM \nPRESIDENT OF MEXICO

Remember, thus is the tyrant who turned off people's bank accounts in the middle of winter because he didn't like people disagreeing with him.\nCanadian Supreme Court later found this was illegal but the damage had been done.\nCanada has had tariffs on American imports for years! This is a bully whining that he is finally being called out.\nTrudeau is a puppet of China.

As an American I'd like to say, I didn't vote for this, please don't hate us.. and can I please come live with you guys?? I can't afford a passport cause I'm not a wealthy American, but I'm hard working and I'm polite... Please

When a Canadian starts to speak sternly to you, you know: Shit is coming. As a German, I am with the Canadian people. Please, don’t let yourselves get confused: Trumps blisteringly incompetent management is what the 36% of Americans who voted for him deserve, as well as the about 30% of Americans who DIDN’T vote at all. Sorry for the other about 34%. On a side note: Amazing, how Trudeau still flatters Trump at the end. Very diplomatic and manipulative. Because Trump is so dump, he falls for shit like that.

We’re not anti- American, we’re anti-dictatorship. We are supportive of the good Americans. We didn’t take their jobs, savings and are decimating your country the idiots that voted this dictator in because their greed of becoming rich did it. You’ve been suckered, don’t put that on us. Take some responsibility for your own fucking mess. We didn’t shit on you! YOU CREATED THIS WORLD WIDE MESS.

as an American, Good on Canada. Go For It. We are sick of this mess and we know you didn't start it.

Most Americans are so disgusted and embarrassed right now by the ? leadership at this moment. I know I didn’t vote for this. ?

Americans who didn't vote for trump will welcome anyone who will help us to rid our once great nation of the Trump cancer. It's beyond time for CNN to be honest in its coverage. YOU, CNN, helped put him into office with your cowardice and greed.

Our government didn't decide to do this.Trump decide to do this and he does not represent all of the american people

Deer Canada we the American Patriots are against this everyone didn't vote for these horrible people in office we will not back down from our government we are sorry for the felon and his regime this is not the American way but it's a disgrace and disgusting embarrassment we stand with our allies

Americans deserve this, Kamala would've been the right person but these people can't see a Women as President and many didn't vote for her because of her colour bullshit..

Do not make the distinction that 1 lunatic...trump...represents all of Americans...I didn't vote for that idiot...he's not my president

That is how a leader speaks!! He was succinct, armed with actual facts, eloquent and effective…all that and he didn’t need to sell a stupid hat or crypto coin. It’s so embarrassing to be an American right now. We stand with Canada!??

I'm American and I didn't vote for Trump. He needs to be impeached and removed from office.

Trump needs to look at his own country’s fentanyl problem because America wouldn’t be having a fentanyl problem if America didn’t have the demand for the drug!!\nGood luck Trump…Hope you figure it out because America is the one that is demanding the drug and if Americans want it they usually find a way to get it…?..?

Greetings from UK, we are with you Canada. God bless you and the people who didn't vote for Trump. For those who did, who is responsible for all this un-American chaos? Utterly shameful, the world knew what a person Trump was, those of you who voted for him, you should have known better. May God help you in these trying times. Canada you have our support from the UK.

I am an American and embarrassed of this present administration, but I didn’t vote for this side off madness , much love to my brothers and sisters. May God always be with you. ?

I'm not American. I grew up hearing lots of hate bout USA cuz the US doesn't exactly have a good rep in foreign policies - always bullying other nations, starting wars for oil etc. but I've always preferred USA not just for the world order it brings, it allows different voices, criticism & scolding towards its leaders compared to China, Russia & North Korea. \n\nin the US, you can talk bad bout politicians in power, or probably make movies bout these kind of things like US invading other countries for oil, or testing out some cruel AI military robots on humans (movie name: Monsters of Man), & you won't be persecuted. but after looking at a bunch of executive orders Trump has signed, the way he (& JD Vance) treated Zelenski & Canada, I don't know if I still feel the same bout USA anymore.\n\nif USA doesn't wanna continue spending on Ukraine, perhaps USA shouldn't have sweet talked Ukraine into denuclearization thru the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. that's what you get for mendling with other countries' affairs. by stopping US aid & wanting a new mineral deal, Trump's refusing to follow the Memorandum (I added this sentence thru edit as I can't reply to the comment below).\n\nunderstandably, US & UK don't need to deploy troops in Ukraine as the security assurance in the memorandum wasn't clearly defined, but it also didn't mention that Ukraine should pay the US back financially, nor any mineral concessions. \n\nTrump always wanting a purely 1 sided deal will only isolate USA from more allies.

American here. I didn't vote for any this orange face administration. I thank God I saw through his ruse before he even thought about politics.

President Trudeau-I’m an American. We live paycheck to paycheck. We didn’t vote for Trump & the GOP. The Republican Party has been doing everything it can to destroy America & the hard working people that keep it running, for years. They’ve finally succeeded. It’s an evil party, filled with vile,malicious assholes. But even though we won’t be able to afford many more things anymore, I greatly admire & appreciate you & your country standing up to Trump. If only more of our own ppl would have done that, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

Pls don’t hate the entire American people. We didn’t all vote for Trump & for those who voted & believed in him were scammed by his platform?

As an American, I’m happy Canada didn’t just back down

Inflation is to the roof, Make food and housing affordable, please people just help impeach him, he is golfing while the american people are struggling everyday.... He is just trying to pass stupid laws that keep getting blocked by courts, Come on Trump supporters try helping fix it by calling your local office and impeach him, I bet anyone else is better than Trump, we know the country needs changes but we are still the biggest economy of the world the richest country, Why do we have to feel like is normal not to have affordable food and housing?? The basics of life... All the immigrants are gone, They even left by their own will, and Some Americans left to other countries, Mexico, Europe, Asia..... What do you guys want?? Having an empty country once was the biggest economy of the world?? Is just crazy even a blind person can see he is destroying the whole country..... He is not even a good business person we all know he didn't payed taxes, he went bankrupt so many times he knows how to scam people, Saying the USA government doesn't work because he feels like it, Just travel people so you can see the difference between usa government and other governments around the world........

Didn't Trump originally sign off the treaty he doesn't like, maybeI'm missing something. England here, questioning if our intelligence agencies should cut ties with the American agencies at the moment.

I'm an American. And I stand with Ukraine, Canada, Mexico, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and all of our European allies. I do not stand with my president and my government. I'm sorry Canada. I didn't vote for this.

I didn't vote for this man. Please stop lumping every American into this.\nHe enacted tariffs, he is comforting Putin, he is destroying my country.
