As an American, I HATE Donald., He is destroying the world in soo many ways. I'm afraid

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.

Mr. Trudeau, I didnt vote for, nor do I consider Chump my president! I'm ashamed of what is going to happen to my fellow Americans and our allues!

I'm a firm America and Americans first and Trump supporter, but I also love Canada. I hope we can figure this out for both of our beautiful countries. Canadians are our friends, but I also support Trump and putting America first. I hope he knows what he is doing. God Bless America and God Bless Canada. God Bless President Trump!

I'm an American with some family ties to Canada and I'm deeply ashamed of how my government under Trump is systematically destroying it's historic relationships with almost all our allies. Trump and his cronies are only interested in the use of raw power to dominate the current geo-political reality. Thank you Trudeau for speaking so bluntly and honestly and for standing up to our bully-in-chief.

I am an American but I stand by Canada do you say I'm a traitor? no the traitor is living in the White House, now put that in your pipe and smoke it ?

Clown, excused convicted sexual assaulter trumpet needs to be removed for destroying our country ?. I'm an American and stand with Canada !!!!

Go, Trudeau! I’m an American that supports you.

I’m in tears. Mr. Trudeau, thank you for supporting the US citizens as we try to figure out what we can do to get our friends back. I’d give anything to be a Maple Leaf if I can’t have my country back. I love Canada because they’ve always welcomed me. The people are freaking amazing and kind. I love our allies because we look out for each other. Canada, Mexico, Europe, Ukraine, etc., the American people love you and don’t want this insanity - not just liberal-minded people like me, but most all of us. Love to you all!

I m not American but live in US and I stand with Canada!

I’m sorry Canada for my deranged government. Please don’t think they reflect all Americans. Most of us are terrified right now and hate this situation we’re in. And most of us love Canada as our neighbor and friend

American here. Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m so grateful that you are standing up to this. I will endure any hardship this brings me personally. Stay strong! Best regards from Michigan!!

Mr. Trudeau / I'm An American. I'm appalled by Trump - Didn't vote for this FOOL .... I'm Embarrassed as an American that Our Government is doing this

Dear Americans, this man you call intelligent, is stepping down due to how much suffering he has caused this country, and no I’m not a right wing trump jock rider; I believe trump is a fascist, which is very clear by his expansionist ambitions, and his attempt at forcing my country into submission

I'm Canadian and have never seen our society so united. Donald is picking a BS fight. I have heard from dozens of people in my life alone say they will not buy American or visit the US for the next 4 years. It will hit US business hard to lose a consumer base with the population the size of California. Not to mention I'm sure Mexicans will do the same.

I’m an American and I am with the Canadians. I’m sorry that my government and MAGA are doing this to you all.

It DOESN'T make sense!! I'm so sorry Canada......I know WE Americans will be punished by this horrible/hateful human that some chose as a president.

I’m an American, but I am not feeling very safe in my own country. I do not like what is going on. I feel very helpless and concerned about what the future holds. I am with Canada, and Ukraine. I am embarrassed and ashamed of our government and what is happening.

I'm an American and I stand with my President. The rest of you should pack up and go to Canada or Ukraine

Well said. I love the USA, I have relatives who live there and in all the years of a beautiful relationship with the people of America I have never seen this situation. Mr. Trump you seem to want to conquer and divide relationships at any cost, even with people who care about you. You sabotage yourself and those who are loyal to you. I'm not sure if you understand the implications of your decisions. But I will say respectfully, there are no winners in a trade war, nor is it you that has the final say on the worlds outcome. This is God's world not yours and not ours. I'm really disappointed to see American people and Canadians hurting because of whatever the point of all of this means. But Canada is strong and we will stand up for our country. The American people are strong and they were strong before you became the President. Working together, we can take care of each other for our families and our country.

As an American, I am so embarrassed… I cannot believe everything going on. I’m disgusted with that orange man, his cabinet. I want to throw up every time I see politics right now. What shame. ?

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!!!!!

LFG Canada ???????? take those American products off the shelves. I’m not giving a cent to America

America......no offense, but I can't wait to complete bridging trade relationships with the EU, Japan, and China. All of these in recent months started discussions on major trade deals, which could eclipse the trade we do with the US.\n\nI'm sick of this sht from a country rotting from the basement up. \n\nBTW I hear Nebraska going bankrupt because their workforce is made up of 70% of undocumented immigrants....Nebraska is a total trump state...lolrtf.\n\nCanada may hit hard times, but Americans DO NOT KNOW or truly understand us.\nOur connection is deeply rooted in decency and has for hundreds of years. \n\nHow will the world ever trust the US with integrity or honor when it breaches its own agreements.\n\nI believe the US will likely be damaged beyond repair from this antichrist.

As a Minnesotan, I feel as if I’m almost as Canadian as American and proud to say so. Our present sitting president and buffoon unelected sidekick Musk are creating chaos everywhere for the sake of billionaire donors and supporters. Absolutely none of what Trump/Musk has done and plans to continue to do is beneficial to a single non-wealthy American and these actions will harm his personal voters (of which I’ve never been one!) the most. Trump cares not. Pervasive narcissistic sociopathy is not curable! Stand strong Canada! We’re trying mightily to defeat this insanity here in the USA! 74 million people did not vote for any of this harm and destruction and outright cruelty!

I'm sorry about this viscous & needless act! I'm an American & I understand completely why Canadian's are upset. I also understand why you're going to retaliate, if you didn't, then I'd question your leadership. Canada has to do what's right for its people and Americans will understand why Canada has to do whatever it has to do for its People and Country. Trump's plan to make Canada the 51st State is by putting economic pressure on Canada until it can't stand anymore. This is his plan and now you can prepare Canadians for the fight ahead. God Bless Canada!!!

I'm a proud Canadian. The whole world, including Americans, will suffer because of this. But hang on tight and help your neighbours, we'll get through as we have gone through adversity in the past. ❤

I'm glad you know so much about America and the American people. We support Donald Trump 100%

I'm an American. I stand with you, Canada, do not back down to this egotistical buffoon we have as president.

Very proud of our Prime Minister!!! The Trump administration is currently destroying America. Canadians and Americans have been working hand in hand for more than a century and it's so sad to see that a bunch of billionnaires are using lies and manipulation to get their way. I'm also very surprised to see that the Republican politicians are reacting like puppets. Let's hope that truth and common sense will soon prevail in the United States.

I'm not sure Americans can understand this without name calling, repeating the same thing over and over, and pausing to s*** his pants

Trudeau for American president!!!\nI’m so sorry Canadian for our Russian puppet tormenting us all.

American here. I’m just in shock daily at this point. \nThis is not how we roll.

I’m American & I did NOT VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP! I stand with you Canada! Do what you need to do!?

Damn, Canadians hate this guy but he's basically the political Kanye. He can get as much hate as he wants but he's still the best celebrity out there in his own mind.\n\nJust saying... if I'm Canada, im not going to try to rally support of the American people by falsely threatening that we will suffer at Canada's hand because of retaliatory tariffs. Thats just silly...\n\nThis man should talk about building his own economy instead of complaining that his benefactor is asking for aome money back.

I’m a American vet. This is a real president. We have a clown

Any American business thinking about jumping into the Russian market is playing Russian roulette—except every chamber’s loaded. Putin’s already made it clear he’ll jail Americans whenever it suits him, and yet Trump seems determined to push U.S. interests into that trap.\n\nWhich brings me back to the bigger question—what exactly does Putin have on Trump? I get that Trump’s got the moral compass of a reptile hunting for its next meal, but even his own former foreign policy advisors—Bolton, Tillerson, Kelly—have all admitted they can’t quite explain his deference to Putin. I’m not one for conspiracy theories, but damn, at what point do we stop pretending this isn’t deeply suspicious?

I have been all over Canada, and i will say they are polite, kind, funny, great people. I'm from Montana, and we have always had so much in common. Americans ARE NOT in favor of the way our president, vice president, and the figure cloaked in darkness, ARE BEHAVING. PLEASE KNOW, not all Americans are in favor of our governmental policies, and some of us, quite frankly, are afraid. A lot of the American people are still the same. We want to send aid to Ukraine, we want to have a government that does its job, and we want to be friends with those on our borders. We're still here. We're not all like those on Pennsylvania Avenue.

I'm American but where do I buy a Canadian flag to hang at my house?!

40 million people live in Canada. I’m sure USA would do alright without Canada. This clown speaks on Americans like he is one, truly disrespectful. This guy is a big talker like Obama but soft. People like him are what causes stagnation and unemployment. Trump sells strength security fairness. Sorry if it hurts your little feelings.

As an American, I'm proud of my Canadian neighbor. We're on your side! ?? This will be the 5th or 6th Republican recession that I have lived through. I'm over it already.

I’m an American but I didn’t vote for him…I am glad to hear that you will not bow or kiss the ring ..not all Americans are ok with this ?

As an American I'm ashamed ?

As an American I'm drinking more Crown Royal and less bourbon.

I’m an American and I just want to apologize to Canada. You have always been a good neighbor and a friend. You don’t deserve this. The Donald Trump version of America has shown that its treaties and its word are meaningless by betraying its own agreements with you. I am truly sorry. And I urge you to do what you need to do to protect yourself. The truth is that the America we all once knew, the one I grew up in, is gone.

I'm an American that stands with Canada.

Comments show that Trump is not the problem, it’s the American education system that has completely failed us. lol “ I’m for the country, not the government” regardless without the “government “ bad or good! America wouldn’t be what it is now without it. None y’all could run a country, or make good money management decisions so none of this will even matter to you ? good night

I’m a CAN/US dual citizen, my feelings are pretty mixed… but this time, I’m standing with Canada. Big thanks to those American friends who are standing with Canadians.

As a Native American I’m disgusted with how DOTARD is destroying our country!!! My ancestors are crying, hate to say it but I’m happier my mother passed away before this buffoon was back!! She’d be so worried, possibly losing her social security and survivors benefits…that was her life-line!…at least she’s resting peacefully!!! ? Miss you mama!!! ??????\nAnd FYI…DOTARD is NOT a smart man, he’s a greedy, egotistical, narcissistic fool!!!

Say it loud Prime minister Trudeau!\nSAY IT LOUD!\nI'm an outraged American citizen!\nHe needs to hear this from Leaders from the world over! \nI voted for Harris and I'm outraged at Trump's behavior toward world leaders!
