America is now the enemy…a nation allied with the murderous regime of Dictator Putin’s, Russia. \nI’m Australian & I am disgusted by America. Americans might say that they stand with Canada or Ukraine however, tens of millions of you voted for Trump in 2024 & you knew his level of tyranny, his ideology, his policies, his criminality, his intentions. Many, many millions of you decided to not vote at all! The blame is squarely on your shoulders! ?

I agree with Canada in every statement said here. It’s sad that Americans have allowed themselves to be manipulated by one man. As an American I say to Canada and Mexico, do what you need. We don’t see this as an attack on us, but as a response to an attack by Trump on your countries. I used to wonder how Hitler was able to convince so many to follow him. We have seen exactly the same behavior by Americans, today, who follow Trump. It’s sad, and it’s disgusting.

I share in Canada’s pain too!! We all need to buckle up and do this together, unfortunately because Rump wants to be a king that nobody wants. Disgusting ? man.

The speech of Mr Trudeau, the way Canadians have shown solidarity for one another, today it all puts my country, The US, to shame. I am ashamed of what my government is doing and I am disgusted with the people doing it. In Mr Trump’s first term, as eclipsed as they were by the many many many actions and attitudes he imposed on us that embarrassed and hurt us as a country, there was the rare occasional decision I could at least understand even if I did not support it. Since taking office literally not one thing he has done has made sense to me as an American. I can only say how sorry I am for what the country I love is being used to do to you all, especially our closest allies and friends and in particular the people of Canada today. I grew up in Commerce Twp Michigan. I visited Canada regularly and, even as crime from Detroit poured across the border into Canada, Canadians always treated us with respect and welcome. I never imagined that would stop but now I find it hard to imagine how it might continue and it breaks my heart.

I stand with Canada, as long as trump and his disgusting government pollutes the Whitehouse, America doesn’t exist. trump needs to go to Russia to be with his boycrush??????

The world respects Canada and this Scot is disgusted with Mr Trump's antics.

Thank you Canada - put Trump in his place. ?? From an American disgusted by our president.

I'm so jealous of Canada rn. They have a competent leader. This is insane that tRump keeps attacking our ALLIES AND SIDING WITH FCKIN RUSSIA AND NORTH KOREA!! I'm disgusted at the people who voted for this bafoon and our government and the Republicans who won't find a damn backbone and save our country from this evil pos. I can't be mad at Trudeau or Canada, were fully in the wrong. & The way he's placating trump at the end is hilarious cause he knows being fully honest will make trump the pentulent toddler have a big tantrum. Someone help us. Y'all just couldn't let Kamala win. We would be in much better hands. Y'all suck. As an American I absolutely stand w Canada! Trump is wrong!!!

It’s not about fentanyl at all. Donald Trump is just using that as an excuse. He is lying to the American people like he always does. Don’t back down Canada ?? do your worst!! Trump voters need to feel the pain to realize what they have voted for. I’m embarrassed and disgusted with America right now and who we are becoming. Be proud of your nation and your leadership Canada!! America isn’t and can’t be as long as DT is in office.

I’m disgusted by Trudeau as soon as he opens his mouth so I can’t listen to him - doesn’t matter if he makes sense (for once). Justin Trudeau is a criminal politician with no mandate. He is an elected dictator who won’t step down to further his personal narcissistic agenda. Even when he “resigns” he fails. Tariffs just make us pay more at the checkout - Trudeau is a lunatic. I have lost all faith in this so called “democracy” in Canada and I’m not completely opposed to a 51st state idea - it would be better once one looks beyond the Canadian pride and patriotism.

On behalf of the American people, we are so sorry for our fascist dictator, and we hope and pray we can take him out of power ASAP! We are all terrified, disgusted, and shocked. Just trying to figure out WHAT we can possibly do to fight back. Thank you, Canada!

I stand with Canada. Many Americans like myself are disgusted and appalled by our president.

As an American, I stand by Canada’s choice. It’s a disgrace to everything the good Americans stand for. \n\nTrump, this puppet trying to change our country into a dictatorship, is beyond disgusting.

American here. Family moved to Canada ?? after American Revolutionary War (yep family was a royalist). Stayed in Oh Canada for over 100 years. As an American ?? (country I love) - I stand with Canada ?? even though it will cost me & other lower / middle classes $$$$. Not Canada’s fault. It is the fault of the orange ? man who is a pretender POTUS. A man who kisses Putin’s ring. A man who protects billionaires & trillionaires… not the majority of U.S. Americans. He doesn’t care about the grossly misguided people who voted for him - they are finding out now! Stay Strong Canada ??! Thank you for standing up to this American Bully! So many of us are ashamed, disgusted, and so sorry! ❤??❤??

I did not vote for trump..he's the most revolting piece of shit this country has...Trump is no one's friend..he's disgusting..can I move to canada?

Disgusting go Canada go

I'm an American and I'm beyond disgusted that the convicted felon adjudicated rapist Dictator worshipper Dictator wannabe was allowed to run for any political office especially President. I believe Musk's vote counting system corrupted the election. I have never and never will vote for Trump and his evil co conspirators. Now some of the MAGA voters are regretting their votes, well they chose to believe the cons lies over the easily verifiable facts especially Project 2025 that again lied on national TV that he knew nothing about Project 2025 yet his name is on hundreds of pages in project 2025 documents. Trump and his goons belong in prison.\nI support and love Canada and Ukraine. Devastating that the real elected President Kamala Harris was robbed of that because of manipulation and foreign interference. Americans are suffering and the suffering will get worse except for the top wealthiest.\nThank you Prime Minister for standing up to the biggest deranged bully on Earth and all the countries that are supporting Canada.\nIt disturbs me beyond words, I have generations in my family that have served in our military, ,my father served in WWII and Korea he fought at the Battle of the Bulge and liberated Buchenvald concentration camp the atrocities he witnessed affected him for the rest of his life, and here we have a 5 time draft dodger whose rich daddy paid a Dr to falsify deferment paperwork for phoney bone spurs, he's a coward and a bully

No matter who pays the tariffs and who it hurts, the end result is that billions will be paid into the government coffers of both USA and Canada. Of course Trump & Musk want to use that to benefit billionaire oligarchs, but what will Canada do with the new income? Maybe much could go to Ukraine to compensate US disgusting withdrawal of support??

He never said Trump is a smart man, that was part of the quote damn it. I’m an American who is so sad, mad, outraged we are treating Canada and Mexico. Thank you Trudeau, I heard your message for us. I certainly cast my vote and will do so again towards unity, reason, compassion and love for the world. Not this disgusting behavior.

I am fu*ing disgusted. I'm 58 years old, and I grew up in a country where Canada seemed like the little brother from the north. Russia (USSR) was and still is an advisory. I am confused. No other president has ever done anything like this, and apparently for no reason but to be nefarious. Please impeach this psycho path before he ruins the country beyond repair. ????

As an American I am so disgusted by this country that they voted in this monster and I wake up every day afraid of what horrors await us from the oval office. Much respect to Canada for fighting back, these tariffs will serve nobody.

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

The United states has very quickly lost the respect and TRUST of the entire World. With so much going on in the World right now this makes absolutely no sense. There is literally NO reason for this except to punish Canada. Everyone is already struggling just to make ends meet these days after C0vid and this will RUIN lives. The lives of your once best friend and ally. Canada and the World will not forget this. This is a direct attack on the people of Canada. Disgusting state of affairs . Americans , you better start standing up against this fool before your once amazing country is destroyed from within. Things are already out of hand and only going to get worse. Its very sad.

As a proud US citizen who loves her country, I am disgusted over so many actions of Trump/Vance/Musk that display a lack of care for the American people and a disdain and arrogance for other nations such as ?? Canada. Trudeau you speak with character, clarity, class and thoughtfulness - ?. If only our own leadership had an ounce of any of those characteristics of true leadership such as Canada has displayed…

We support you Canada from the UK. Trump and his MAGA cult are disgusting

American for ?? Canada, The man in our HOUSE is disgusting. I stand with Canada ??, Ukraine ??and Mexico ?? ! Don’t back down.???

Total respect for Canada! I'm so sorry for what my government (USA) is doing - its disgusting.

We need a leader as intelligent and capable as Justin Trudeau. Canada, standing their ground may be our best chance to impeach the disgusting dictator in our country. Canada? Are you ready to accept any Democracy loving Americans who want to escape fascism? We would love to be Canadians!??

70 yr old American woman. Disgusted with these criminals in Washington . \nI support Canada ?? & Ukraine ?? \nTurn the power off Canada ??, turn it off

As an American, I am sorry for this DISGUSTING behavior. WE STAND WITH CANADA!!!!!!\nAmerica doesn't \nwant a relationship Russia..... what does Putin have on DONNY DO LITTLE. TRUMPY DO needs to be STOPPED he is fucking our country.\nRepublicans this is all on you, grow a spine!!!!!

South African here.. am disgusted and appalled by Trump and what's going on.. fully supporting Canada and Ukraine. praying for resolution

JIimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Bush Sr, Bill Clinton, George Bush Jr, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, agree or disagree with them they never destroyed so much in their time in office. In My 50 years of life I have never seen such a diplomatic failure. Canada, UK, Australia and the Eu have been our closest allies since ww2 and Mr. Trump is his maga disciples are heading towards what the Soviet Union and the old Warsaw pact countries couldn't do in over 50 plus years. Canada Stand strong, France and the Eu Stand strong, UK and Australia nothing but love and respect from a disgusted American citizen. Hopefully democrats can flip the house or the senate in a couple years, or some republican senators will get some intestinal fortitude to at least stalemate the senate to turn the madman into an essential lame duck president. At the point no white house representation is better then what Trump has in store. President Zelesky all the respect in the world, you're what a leader should be, and hopefully your true world leader friends will stand for what's right. Love and respect and apologizes to Nato Eu Ukraine and Canada. A majority of Americans are absolutely disgusted by what this country has turned into.

❤ ??Trump giving up his friendship with Canada but cozying up to Russia! ??❤️ So disgusting to see ?????

Good for Canada, now that this nation (amuri-KKK-and world traitor of maggot trash) is operating under the stupidity of Donald dip-shit the idiot, and criminal felon liar. It is disgusting he appeases Putin, a Communist KGB tyrant and evil murderer.

As a European American, I can truly say that I am embarrassed, shocked and disgusted by the actions of the Trump administration against our allies and partners across the world. 99.9% of American loves Canada and I am one of them!!! Stay strong because we have always overcome evil together!!!

As an American, I am disgusted by our leaders and government. I wish I could move to Canada where there people are treated better. I did not vote for this. It sucks that gas is going to go up and I commute to work. And groceries going up too it's a shame. America supposed to be the better country but it's not. I stand with Canada and Ukraine❤❤

What a truthful speach...way to go Canada, ?? from an old Welsh gay gal...who is disgusted by the stench on humanity in the WH .. xxx

Just because Trudeau is stepping down, make no mistake, All Of Canada will be fighting back against the disgusting orange turd!!!!!!!!!

Finaly our prime minister stands for Canada and says straight and clear exactly how it is. This is disgusting, we knew from the start the drugs are just a lie and pretext of the clown to make us join or annex Canada but WE WILL NEVER NEVER GIVE UP !! 1

Canada deserves it. When I last checked Trudeau is out of office soon and a disgusting leftist communist. Great job President Trump. Canada will buckle down. Just matter of time. Go President Trump. Disgusting Trudeau. Love Trump. ❤❤❤

As someone who was born in the U.S. I can’t stand what this country has turned into. It’s despicable and disgusting. I will not stand for the national anthem and I encourage any other American to do so. I hope Canada takes trump down. Thank you Canada for being a great country and for standing up to bullies. Go Canada ??

I am an embarrassed disgusted Oregonian. I stand with Canada! And I stand with Ukraine! Majority of Americans DO NOT want any of this. This admin here was left with a VERY strong economy and he couldn’t wait to sh$t on it for his billionaires.

It’s honestly such a disgusting feeling to be an American right now. I love my country and many of its people but the trump administration is tarnishing this country and making it an embarrassment across the globe. I feel powerless and angry. I hope for the best and I fully support this response Canada.

American from California who did NOT vote for this. Many of us stand with Canada and Mexico. We apologize that we have so many idiots and this disgusting criminal was voted in. Hopefully, he disappears soon, but if it's in 4 years... Hopefully, we can rebuild alliances and friendships. We're sorry. The USA is shit right now.

As an American, I'm disgusted with these tariffs. Trump is definitely doing the WRONG thing here. We should be working with Canada and Mexico, not against them. It seems like Trump wants to be Putin's little Bitch.

Trump is a disgusting sociopath! For the first time in my life, I feel unsafe in my country. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, Greenland, Panama, and Mexico! Trump should be in jail! Anyone who supports him has sold their soul to the devil! Praying for my nation!??❤️?

American here. Not all of us are with him. A lot of Americans did not want him. We don’t back trump. We are just as disgusted and find him just as abhorrent. He does not represent American values. I stand with Canada and Ukraine and all of the countries he pulled aid from. I’m sorry.

This is disgusting. You don’t treat your delivery person like that. Cannot believe this happened in Canada. The guy kept his patience very nicely, I mean anyone could have cursed back right ?

It is disgusting that jacka$$ trudeau is allow these criminals into canada and then to the USA. This is damaging our country.

To think you can spend thousands of dollars to get a plane ticket to canada and then spend tens of thousands to the coyotes to cross and still get your money's worth from the free handouts that NYC will give you through american tax dollars is disgusting.
