Trump’s actions make me embarrassed to be an American. He does not represent who we are or what we believe. As far as I’m concerned, he is a rouge, traitorous, self serving, pathological lying cancer on our country and on the world.

Embarrassed ashamed American here. Any other countries taking in Americans looking to get the hell out of here right now?

You are so justified. Most Americans are embarrassed and furious with the behavior of our newly elected president. Canada, you are my friend.

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for showing the world how a true gentleman and leader talks to the leaders of another country in spite of the irrational, immoral and turncoat actions from a former Ally; our (?) new MAGA President Donald Trump. It's so surreal that this narcissistic, psychopathic person actually won the Presidential election (again). All I can say is I am sorry, embarrassed, and ashamed of my broken country's politicians in Washington, D.C. at present. Many more Americans support the democratic policies than the anti-democratic that Trump's regime is spouting all around the world. Just know this isn't what most Americans believe and we don't support his thoughts and actions. We are trapped in this nightmare that makes no sense. We hope this is just a temporary change. These new policies benefit no one but the oligarchs of America (and world). I guess we are just going to have to take our punishment for the few years for not being able to prove that these people in Washington care NOTHING for anyone, including their own constituent, and are hell bent on taking down and destroying our American, Democratic way of life and we, the people, are helpless to stopping it dissolve and crumble. Thank you Canada for always being such great neighbors. Good luck, peace out!

Im more than embarrassed by these ridiculous tariffs as an American and Trumps administration has made it more than difficult to support any of these lies they continue to spread

I’m American and embarrassed by the current US government ignorance. Love for Canada

I have been taking over all my social media accounts and showing up to protest about dangerous Trump is for about 10 years now. I am embarrassed as an American. Sadly, 25% of our nation got duped.

You’re doing the right thing, Mr. Prime Minister. As an American Veteran, it breaks my heart that we are treating our closest friends and allies with such contempt. The current U.S. administration is a shameful embarrassment to Americans. I love Canada almost as much as I love my own country. Stay strong and keep standing up to the senile bully in the White House - for ALL of us. ??❤️??

I know Trudeau isn't popular with all Canadians, but they can be proud of him today. Canadians are good people. This is an embarrassed American standing with you.

I'm an American and am ashamed and embarrassed by my country that is run by the wanna be Dictator Trump!

As an American I am embarrassed and I apologize for our hateful government.

As an American i am deeply embarrassed and saddened by these last few weeks. This is not going to end well.

Embarrassed as an American….so sad and simply disgusted….

Donald Trump has literally embarrassed me as an American. What a shameful, disgusting occupant of the Oval Office. SMDH

God bless the Canadians we Americans should all vacation there I am so embarrassed that we have a Putin clown running our country God help us

I'm an American woman who is totally Embarrassed for the USA. I didn't vote for him and I have no Respect for him. I stand for Canada, Ukraine and Mexico. We're going to suffer while the billionaires in the white house (Musk) keep getting wealthy. What the hell Trump. Ur getting rid of our allies for being Putin's Puppet!!! I hate it here!??

We have a COMPLETE IDIOT WHO WANTS TO BE A WANNA BE DICTATOR...THIS MORON IS GONNA KILL THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE. I'm sorry Canada this is so embarrassing...

I am so embarrassed to be an American right now.

May I come there to live please? \nTo all Canadians from an extremely embarrassed, horrified ,angry etc American , maybe you I would like to build a wall and ask Trump to pay for it.

All my respect goes to Trudeau, who remained apologetic to the citizens of both countries throughout his speech. SHAME ON CNN for calling it Anti-Americanism !!! Trump picked this fight and let's not forget that ! And for NOTHING. another embarrassing moment for legacy news media that just proves either how dumb or how corrupt most are.

It's painfully obvious, most Americans are utterly embarrassed by this administration. Soldout to AIPAC. SMH

Today, I am deeply, deeply embarrassed to be an American. Trump is a clown -- the terrifying kind.

Can't Americans realise what an intelligent and well spoken speech looks like, what it should always look like from our leaders?\n\nTrump can't even read a letter from King Charles; he's completely incompetent and unintelligible. They knew this before they elected him. Every speech he ever gave was embarrassingly awful.\n\nAnd now, less than 50 days into his presidency he has sided with Putin, betrayed Zelenski, and attacked all his partners around the world.

Mr. Trudeau, I wish you could be the American president. You have more of what we need than trump ever thought about. To my Canadian friends, my apologies. My country has entered an embarrassing period of time. We will resolve this, but it will take time. In the meantime, please know that the problem is our president, not our people.

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.

It's a total embarrassment to be an American living through this circus. Just heartbreaking ?

Washingtonian of 64 years here. I stand with you Canada from my blue state. I am so embarrassed right now to be an American. ?

CNN, why in the world do you waste our time telling us what we just saw and heard? Anyway, I'm very nervous, if not down right scared, to watch the United States devolve into a fascist regime. It feels terrorists now hold our government hostage. For the first time in my life, I'm embarrassed and ashamed to be an American.

That is a great president thinking about his people not his self and rich friends you are an embarrassment to the American people

This is HEARTBREAKING, because Trudeau is speaking to EVERYONE like a leader SHOULD!!! He left NO doubt how much he cares about his fellow citizens, and that their government will help them as much as they can!! \nThis is what AMERICANS dream about, a leader that cares about us!!! We wish and pray that our leader looked and spoke like that!!! \nCANADA is showing the WORLD what TRUE LEADERSHIP LOOKS LIKE!!! It's HEARTBREAKING for ALL the Canadian and American people that are gonna feel the pain, and NOT the BILLIONAIRES that are INTENTIONALLY hurting ALL Americans. \n\nI had a tear in my eye, because of the overwhelming pride I had for Canada and Trudeau!! \nAmericans are hanging their heads in embarrassment!!! \nGo Canada!!????\nGo Ukraine!!????

As an American, really embarrassed, ashamed, and disgusted by and for my country. Haven't thought too highly of Trudeau before now but good for him for having some balls.

Dear Canadians we are so sorry what this despicable president is doing! Millions of Americans are your friends. We are embarrassed and so sad what trump is doing. ?

Just to let you know, a great deal of us don’t want this either. We are trapped in a growing nightmare that is a terrifying orange clown and his psychotic South African sidekick-they are backed by nefarious groups with deep pockets who have been plotting for years and were ready on day 1 when Frump took office. They are vile and evil but very organized. We are with you! ?We are embarrassed, ashamed, and appalled at how the bully in office is treating our allies, and will do everything in our power to make this stop. The state of our world does not need more Putins and Trumps-there are more of us than them. We can overcome if we are prepared to dig our heels in and fight for what we know is right. Whenever I become disheartened I remind myself of the Ukrainian people who have been at war, fighting mostly alone for years, and somehow holding their own. They deserve more. You deserve more. The American people deserve more. Together we will overcome this scourge!?????

I am american, and im embarrassed by our government

As an American (Independent party), I am personally embarrassed by Trump. I just hope you know that there are many Americans who do not support him and want him removed from office.

Canada recognises its not the American people but the embarrassment in the white house thst is the problem. Respect and support from Australia ❤

I am an American, but my Ancestors were French Canadians who immigrated to Montpelier, Vermont at the turn of the 20th century. Your support in wanting the best for both of our countries makes me so proud of my roots. Charlie Angus as well as Justin Trudeau have integrity and are willing and able to fight for what is right. Please know you are a highly respected nation by most of the people in this country. I have always been so proud of my country, but am now so embarrassed and deeply troubled. Please pray for your neighbors and the democracy of our Republic. I am related to Louis Cyr, Canadian Strongman. Don't give up on us. God be with both of our nations!

So we'll thought out and spoken. I have never been so embarrassed to be an American. I truly hope someone puts Donald Chump out of OUR misery SOON!!

Obviously Trump is NOT a VERY SMART guy....he is NOT my president...I am american but I am ashamed and embarrassed for the USA....

Another day of embarrassment to be an American.

I am embarrassed to say I am an American right now! That Nazi orange guy and his side kick meme are ruining America! He needs to be impeached! I am so disgusted with what is going on right now and how all of his little minions are following right along behind him kissing the ring!!

I am an American and we are embarrassed by this hierarchy of immature idiots. I respect you Canada!!??

Trump's despicable manners will again be on display during his speech tonight. He is THE GREAT AMERICAN EMBARRASSMENT.

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.

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!

As an American, I am embarrassed and ashamed.

Dear Canada...I am so embarrassed (and worried) to be an American. Trump and his cronies don't speak for me or my family. I'm really afraid of where our country is heading.

Being an American is such an embarrassment ? Trump and his criminal buddies have made us laughing stock of the entire world...

I’m American and I want to know the real reason why Trump is doing this. I believe we will never know. He’s such an embarrassment to our country.

To the Global Ecomony: Americans understand that you have to stand on business but remember that the American public didnt ask for this. We are embarrassed by the Dump administration. Pray for us.
