Dear Canada, sorry we have an asshole for a president. I didn't vote for Trump.

American here... Canada can I come live with you? I promise I didn't vote for this crap!

As a European, I support Canada 100%. I can't understand how educated people voted such a disaster into office not once, but twice. Basic economics can be grasped without the need for a college degree. I'm wondering why your tuition is so high. Your economy is set to collapse. America, you are in for a plunge into disaster.

Lots of Americans on here saying they are embarassed or stand with Canada.. sorry but you're outvoted. The AMERICAN people VOTED in their MAJORITY for this. Trump said he would do it, got elected and he's done it. \n\nPeople like you commenting say you want democracy but it seems you only want it when you win.

From the USA good for you Canada. People who voted for Trump don’t understand the significance increase of prices that will hit their pockets severely.

Canada, Mexico, Ukraine & Europe- 48.3% of the US Citizens didn't vote for Don-old.

Hey Canada, Californian here. Sorry my dumb fellow americans voted for this A hole.\n\nWe're gonna be okay, in 4 years. If he extends his presidency beyond that, i have a plan for that along with many others. Wish us luck

So embarrassed and worried for my country. How on earth 1/2 the population voted for this traitor, felon, maggot AGAIN, i will never understand. He has done so much damage and we will suffer the consequences for years. This speech was brilliant, so happy Prime Minister Trudeau called him donald. Most of us stand with Canada, Mexico, Europe & Ukraine!!!♥♥♥

Losing Canada as an ally is the lease concern for Trump most importantly he has please Russia (Putin) as his master. Congrats to the electorate that voted for Trump for making the best choice . Trump best president ever ???.

Who starts a conflict with Canada? Everyone loves canada! Like there is no reason for this at all, just like Trudeau mentioned.\nUS is a joke, I hope everyone gets together to hurt them enough so that they stop as soon as possible. I feel with the americans that didnt vote for this

As an American. I’m with CANADA. Not every American voted for that clown.

Go Canada ?? GO\n\nCan’t wait to see all those MAGA tears ? \n\nThis is what stupid, racist, misogynistic, ignorant Amerikkkkans voted for\n\nLet the games begin ?

What the hell do we do when MY SIDE of AMERICA DID NOT vote for TRUMP but have to put up with what he is doing?! Can we please move to canada? I hate this MONSTER!!!! God help us! We don't know what to do about TRUMP and the EVIL he's launching!

Trudeau was right when he said it was dumb. The US tariffs are simply about bringing America to its knees and destroying America. That is why the country is being recklessly run. The idea is to destroy the American way of life and America. Have you seen a 3rd world country run. The fighting and the division in the 3rd world country? The events over the past weeks are not about efficiency. 1 worker doing 15 people's jobs. Who is running the government? Tariffs are one more thing to destroy America. US government federal workers all let go, paying government employees pennies on the dollars and lying to the American public about efficiency, farmers and textile workers that voted are stranded without jobs, social security being destroyed, programs being destroyed, Americans being lied to, Americans being taken advantage of due to poor knowledge and education, education being taken away and putting un-elected immigrants/foreigners to run/destroy America. Yes, the Tariffs are one more thing to put Americans in the street, turn off their electricity, take away their heating system, and make America into a poor 3rd world country. Trudeau and Canada are protecting its workers - federal and private and yes, all of Canada. Canada is United. Americans better find Unity like the Canadians are doing versus worrying about who voted Red or Blue.

I stand 100% behind the man i voted for. Trump is putting America first! I am done being blind to the swamp and their idiocy. We may hurt for a little while, but America will build back better. Stronger. We dont need Canada. They are mad about tarrifs but have them on their side. Common sense. Im loving this new era.

From the Midwest U.S, I support Canada and Mexico! We don’t want tariffs. We want ALL our economy to prosper! Not to crash them down! Otherwise, if we place tariffs, ALL OF US will be hurt. ALL COUNTRIES. ALL citizens regardless of income levels will feel it. \n\nRising egg prices? Just tonight (as of the evening of March 4) he blames it on Biden and the administration when he’s not even the president! I cannot believe we voted for a president who points fingers rather than taking accountability. \n\nAs an American, I only want to apologize to the world for voting for this bully (I never voted for him, but he won anyways.) I wish you all the best.

I wish I could say that America wasn’t responsible for the Tariffs, but unfortunately over half of my idiotic, hateful countrymen voted the psychopath into office, namely Trump. I am sorry though. Canada is a beautiful nation with lovely people.

He’s a big man talking from Canada,but the truth is he’s in trouble without the US ,And we voted our leaders in..

As a citizen of the United States, I stand with Canada. I am from Michigan and don’t want my home gas going through the roof. I didn’t vote for the damn racist dictator. I am for human rights. I don’t agree with Trump!!!!!!!! Good speech Trudeau. Keep standing up to the bully.

Well I bet those that voted for “Donald” are regretting it. You are poor today and will be poorer in four years. I’m moving to Canada, the grass is greener over there. ?

Shill and suck for putin bc hes scary but strong arm, tariff, and insult our closest allies. We sold out to the kremlin. Yall voted for russian commie sympathizing losers thatre gonna ruin our economy. Good job. Mexico and Canada will still produce these things, theyll just sell them to a dofferent country with no tariffs, and tariff what they do sell us. This only hurts and undermines america and american interests, it helps our allies and enemies while simultaneously furthering our allies and alienating them from us. Its brain dead.

PM TRUDEAU, Vive le Canada!! Stand tall, most Americans did not vote for Donald Trump the traitor, compulsive liar, his new play stooge - Elon Musk, who was not an elected official - he bought his “special employee position” by donating\n$6 billion to his presidential campaign! \n\nTrump is not trustworthy, he never was, he’s a compulsive liar, always was, he manipulates people - always did to get his way, he doesn’t know American history or European history- never did, he adored reading about Adolf Hitler and how he manipulated the German people to turn against Jews and minorities just like what is being done today by his REPUBTARD PARTY who are afraid to stand up against SATAN -this is who TRUMP sold his soul to to gain the White House including Putin,

Donald woke up and chose violence. Hes clearly unfit. Sorry Canada that too many people here voted for a bully.

Canada...please, for the love of yourself, do NOT forget what this man did to Canada. Sure, now, he can look like a hero...but he doesn't give a rats ass about Canada...this is his last ditch effort to save grace (and his liberals) from the destruction they have caused each & everyone of us Canadians for the umten years that have passed.\n\nOn voting day, remember that...and let's get the right guy in place...MCFA ?? (Make Canada Fabulous Again)

No more buying US. No visits/ holiday's. No stocks. Cant help but feel this is what trump and musk want, i.e. to have stockmarket get weaker so they can buy more. \nLook over there...(aligning with Putin dictator, Bullying zelensky, illegal firing staff, tariffs, accusing zelensky of propaganda as US fox news is known for it) whilst they shake markets up, risking world war 3 for multiple reasons. With the Supreme court in his pocket, the US is following Putins lead and becoming a dictatorship. The law is far to pliable there at this point. \nAll those voted Trump in and think he is making America great, you are DILLUSIONAL!\nHe will take you and your families down.. the young get sent to war, the old asshole sociopathic men sit by the fire protected. It took a very long time for Germany to escape the reputation after Hitler. You want the rest of the world to disdain and never trust your country and people?! Germany recovered, but it was painful healing. \nHow bout Trump sleeps out on the streets, deals with fentanyl addicted unsupported US citizens and veterans or get sent to war? Or what about his children or grandchildren?! Would he care if they were called to stand for the country if WW3 broke out, because of him? Trump truly is making a statement... he gives 2Fs about the people, totally self serving. For the capitalist bullies who love money at any cost..even blood money... non of your investments will make a difference if you have no heating, water, food, jobs, lost family members through war and crap health system... not an ounce of love, respect, compassion, respect, leadership in the US government. The World can be better. Choose better... for all that is sacred... stop the madness!!\n\nWell done Canada & Trudeau... love and support you beautiful people. ❤\nLove and Strength to the people of Ukraine around the globe. I pray for this nightmare to end in your favour. For your loved ones to be safe and protected and that you can be reunited once more. Love and praise for Zelensky...you are a phenomenal leader. May you receive the support needed to end the war.❤\nHang tight US citizens who wish a very different US .❤

Canada is America's long time great friend. I apologize for Donald's actions. P.S. I didn't vote for him.

I did not vote for this Bozo the 1st, 2nd or 3rd time. This American and Army veteran supports you Canada.

This American stands with Canada. I vote in every election I can, and I vote against everything this administration stands for. Being an American is embarrassing right now. And also terrifying. /Hugs to all our allies who are standing up to the bully in the white house.

Please remember that more than half of the country did not vote for the criminal. Canada and the rest of the world pray for us and pray that justice and democracy will prevail. ??? Good must overcome evil.

As an American I love you Canada. I am so so sorry for our evil president, I did NOT vote him in!

As an embarrassed American I apologize to you Canada! Also, so troubled by Trump aligning with Putin. I did not vote for him as he is not a good person.

Hey Canada, This is why you voted for this guy.\n\nAs an American whose entire income is driven by the market, your reaction is entirely warranted. Bring the pain, American success demands on it.

Canada as well as Mexico and China will and must fight back! I don't care so much about china, but Mexico and Canada have been our best trading partners and friends and now we have insulted them. We will deserve what we get because we have elected the most stupid president in the history of the United States. Be prepared to pay higher prices all of those of you who voted for this idiot president Trump. Unfortunately the rest of us who were smart and voted for someone else will have to be punished too!

As Donald made alot of American is b******s, Canada won't fall for it. I rather live a bit less richer, than become this dictator b****h. Good Luck USA! YOU VOTED FOR THIS MAN, BUT WE DIDNT!

I am American and have never been more proud of Canada, and ashamed of USA since half of our people voted for the most Despicable Orange idiot. I’m with Canada, Ukraine and Mexico. ????????

I am so sorry Canada! Please except my apology as a US Citizen and retired vet. I did not vote for this at all! You need to do what you can to protect your people. Unfortunately, we do not have the same protection.

I think it's important to citizens of the world outside of America to know that not all of us represent this government! I am a veteran and never would turn my back on leadership... Until this clown. I stand with Canada, and all of you who have stated as much. We who didn't vote trump in can now only stand by and watch this mistake happen! It's going to take nations to come together with us to stop this dictator from destroying everything we've fought for! I have given my life to the military as we deployed to many countries to support efforts to rebuild after disasters both natural and man made. Now I call on this nations to stand ready when we need you most! Please don't give up on those of us who still care. It's time!!!

What an embarrassment to Canada. Trudeau had 1 job to do: Stop the smuggling of drugs to the states from our border. Instead, he's ignored this and thinks he is justified in talking tough. What a disgrace. We deserve the tariffs for voting in Trudeau.

Sorry Canada, we all didn't vote for that a-hole.

I am a Canadian. We do not want conflict with USA. What we want is for our new leader to be voted in - and then work things out for trade. President Trump is aware of what we have suffered. Canada has stood firm.....the truckers in our capital....brought a siege all over the world for freedom. I do not want the tariffs.....that will hurt us both. But I did not like Trudeau's speech.....it was rude. It does not represent us as a country.

We, Canadians, are going to be fucked 100%. Like Ukranians. Trump wants to crush Canada until it bends its knees.....he intimidates, coerces and extorts. We are living in an extremely serious moment, and it has only just begun. 75 million people voted for him. If there was a new vote today, he would still win. The United States wants a strong, loud-mouthed president who will crush the past and reinvent a new world. the rest is to follow. If it wasn't so brutal and frightening, it would be fascinating.

Say it correctly please, the American PEOPLE are NOT enemies of Canada….President Trump and those who voted for him are enemies of Canada. Many Canadians and Americans are being harmed by a president they did not vote for and we don’t want Canadians and Americans who are innocent to suffer. A great day of us Americans want to remain friends with Canadians and are very sad about what is going on.

From Georgia, I stand with Canada 100%. trump is a traitor and a criminal. I do not accept him as president. I am ashamed of America and I apologize with all my heart for what trump is doing. I did not vote for him and never would! I love Canada and will always support you!

Trump is a backstabbing traitor of the American people. Canada don’t put your anger on the people, I didn’t vote for Trump in either election. In fact he should have been impeached before he was able to run again and now here he is again running AMERICA into the GROUND

Remember MAGA, this is precisely what you voted for. As Lincoln Project said in a past video, you are not allowed to be surprised. Congratulations, your lives just got more expensive. Canada will return as a welcomed ally and friend once you depose your dictator and his goons.

The educated and thinking American people ( who are the majority of voters and unfortunately 1/3 did not vote) know that Donald Trump has lied to us. We understand that Canada has no fault and no role in contriving this trade war. We also know that the Fentanyl problem has little or nothing to do with Canada and that the majority of Fentanyl is brought into the USA by US citizens. Most American citizens do not want this. Donald Trump and is an opportunist. He does not care about the American people . He cares about himself and his money.

I'm very frustrated with Donald Trump, we voted for trump was a Big mistake....so sorry.\nWe stand with Canada and Ukraine.\nGod bless Canada.

Dear Canada. We the people the good citizens of these divided states do not condone what trump is putting your country and the rest of the world through! More than 80% of us hate trump and his evil lawless deeds! We are no longer free here! We are under the thumbs of an evil dictator and his panzy the riches man in the world! They are destroying this country bit by bit and quickly! They and the republicans in congress have sided with them! I’m am saddened that you great friends and all citizens are no facing his dictatorship follies! trump is not American! He never has been! Musk worked his magic with skylink and stole the votes from the democrats! Erased millions of our votes east as pie! I respect mr trudou and we hear his plea! His sorrow and I hope he and all who read this in Canada realize that the hood American here never wanted this but we can’t stop him with the way he and our judicial system is erasing our constitution! It’s eroding daily as if it never existed!! We are truly sorry for the pain he’s putting you through! Know that the 80 percent of Americans still stand with Canada Mexico Ukraine the EU and the rest of the world he’s punishing ?

We don’t want this either! And he did! I didnt vote for him, and I understand why Canada has to do what they have to do

As an American, I stand with Canada. We have the biggest dumb ass bully as our president and it’s shameful. The people who voted for that orange turd can suffer. It’s so dumb to impose tariffs on our closest allies. Ordinary Americans will suffer because of this.
