Agent Orange openly and repeatedly says he ADMIRES N Korea’s Kim author of one of the most hellish deathscapes the world has ever seen. Literally starving the N Korean people to death. And Trump again recently said he wanted that same kind of authority over “my people.” And yet a majority of white Americans voted him in anyway. How spiritually lazy and morally bankrupt we have become. All support to Canada and Ukraine and ZERO for Putin and Kim.

Trump is an idiot. American here and I support Canada ??. Trump does not speak for all Americans

I am a Floridian and I support Canada's decision on issuing tariffs on the United States after President Trump placed teriffs on Canada

I'm from Texas, where I am surrounded by Trump supporters, I can't begin to express how frustrated and isolating it feels. It's so nice to see a president speaking so eloquently and coherently. I stand with you Canada.

American and Texan here and I support Canada 100% — Trump, Vance and all the MAGAtts that still support them are pieces of shit. We are broken but we will “correct” this

I hope Canadians know that only 77 million people voted for Trump in a country of 335 million people!! That means 76% of us DO NOT support his madness!! Apologies to Canada & ALL of our allies!! Trump is a RUSSIAN asset & asshat!!!! We have been infiltrated.

Full support for people of Canada and Present Trudeau❤❤❤ Shame on trump and his puppets!!!

The 23rd Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudea will go down in history as the guy who stood up to the felon and sex offender Donald Trump. The so called 47th President of the United(?) States of Mid-America. Trumps playing Whack-a-Mole with his closest neighbours and European Allies. They aren’t going to forget what he’s and his supporters are doing.

Aussie here. We are so sickened watching what’s going on in the US. It’s terrifying how fast Trump has turned against his allies. Canada, we Aussies love you and support you! Thank you for standing strong. To our American friends, keep fighting, keep protesting!

Supporting Canada, Ukraine, Europe in the battle with dictatorship of trump

More lies by CNN and Canada. Trump has never sided with Russia. Not now or back in 2016 when our American government tried to persecute Trump for collusion with Russia. Canada should own up to the fact that they owe American people 200 billion dollars a year because they can't support there own country. They let illegals and drugs pour in.

What Donald trump wants is to put Mexico and canada to go bankrupt so he can invade both countries to still their minerals and still the two countries this pig is more dangerous than anyone can imagine that’s why he’s working with putin so both can corrupt the world .. if the USA doesn’t do anything soon there is going to be a catastrophe and if there is a war i want all the trump supporters to be infront of the line fighting this war

As I look at all the wonderful comments from Americans supporting Canada the tears are streaming down my face. Thank you! What I worry about is what is Trump up to?. \nWhy the decoupling from allies, not just Canada. Worse, why support Russia at the UN? Why take down your cyber defences? Is this a dictator digging himself in? Is he using Kim Jung Un's playbook? Americans, please be very careful with this man. The free world loves you but we need you to be free.

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!

Trudeau is serving the final moments of his last term, but his approval ratings shot up since the Trump presidency started. Trump genuinely such a crappy leader than other leaders with approval ratings in the dirt are gaining support for going against him. As an American, it’s damn amazing. I hope the next PM of Canada keeps up the same energy and doesn’t concede to the US. Things won’t get better until the world sticks it to us, because the world turning their backs on us is the only thing that’ll get through the thick skulls of anyone who still supports Trump.

California native here I support Canada. Apologize for the corrupt Trump administration. Hopefully, something can be done about all the laws their breaking.

American here,in full support of President Trump. Someone needs to be the bad guy and fix the globalist corruption. I personally never listen to or watch CNN. Canada is in a economic and cultural downfall for a reason. I have never supported Castros Bastard son, Trudeau. I love real Canadians and believe Canada would be much better as a US Territory/ State and hope they get rid of this weak little boy.

As an American, Canada I’m so sorry. To the rest of the world please please hear me. Trump supporters are the minority here, most of us are actively fighting against this. We want peace but in no way shape or form should any government fold to this man. Canada, do what you need to do. Please don’t fold either. Make sure this country feels every second of it.

Canada (and many other countries) spent decades supporting the maintenance of US hegemony. Look what it got us? To a position where we're pretty much greatly dependent on, and at the mercy of the US. We need to invest more in our own country and make our own products. We should also trade with other countries regardless of what the US thinks of those countries. Trump wants Canada to put tariffs on China in the attempt to further impede that country's economic growth so the US will remain the economic hegemony. Never mind that a trade war with China would put Canada in an even worse position. Given the current events, I say we trade with China even more!

I am American and I support Trump and 100% trade war .....Trudeau is Lying ....nobody is Hurting America !!!!! We will buy from USA not CANADA and your tariffs are higher for USA than ours were for ages...~!!!!!!!!! You are dumping stuff to USA with high tariffs for a long Time~!!!

One more American supporting our friend CANADA. Hate Trump, not ordinary Americans he does not represent. ????

A neurologist should thoroughly examine Trump's brain, as I strongly suspect the presence of significant anomalies. It is conceivable that some of these could be addressed through medical intervention. However, in his current state, his cognitive and behavioral responses appear untenable. It would be prudent to declare him temporarily unfit for decision-making until his condition improves. Wishing him a swift and full recovery!\n\nPeople of Canada, we in Germany hold you in high regard and stand with you. Stay strong—we will support you ❤

The fentanyl excuse is just that an excuse, trump wants to make money from tariffs to give a huge tax break to the billionaires in the USA including musk, he is not worried at all about fentanyl, he doesn't care about other people, but he does care about tax breaks for himself and the billionaires who support him. I support Canada and Mexico in this trump fiasco, and I hope Canada and Mexico really make trump squirm. trump knows tariffs will hurt the US citizens but he knows it will hit the Lower and middle classes the hardest, not causing him and the billionaires nearly as much trouble. He is hoping that the tariffs will bring in enough money for him to be able to give the billionaires including himself a huge tax break.

Canadian here. We do not support Trudeau or the liberals/ndp for destroying Canada. He is garbage. Force a Canadian election! Trudeau is basically telling americans dont let trump do with tarriffs what we already did to canadians with taxes, carbon taxes, forign interference, bad policy, open borders and theft of tax dollars.

I'm an American and support Canada and all Canadians ?! Stand up to the incompetent and pathetic POS wannabe president derelict decrepit trump.

I stand with Canada and will support anything they want to do against trump traitor

I am Canadian, and I want to speak to the USA, as a concerned citizen who valued the relationship that we once had between our two countries: please realize that we do NOT want to declare this as any form of “attack”, that these are solely defensive measures against your current administration’s lack of respect towards us as a people and as a country. \n\nPlease rest assured that we KNOW that not all of you voted for Trump, that there are those of you who realize what your current president is truly doing and do not support it. This is NOT about fentanyl. This NOT about money and how much each country was giving whom. We had a respectable trade deal that we were following, previously signed by Trump. We have always had a positive relationship together, business-wise and friendship-wise. Please also realize that, once your administration is no longer in control of our narratives in such a destructive manner, or it gets replaced by one that reverses this destructive policy, we will definitely reconsider our former relationship and we will work towards rebuilding it. \n\nIt is unfortunate for both sides here. We are aware of that. But “Canada Strong” is our way to remain forever a sovereign and free nation. Nothing more, nothing less. Always remember that.

TRUMP LAUNCHED THE TRADE WAR. as an American I guarantee you that the non maga Americans do not approve of these stupid tariffs against Canada and mexico. I support ?????? all the way

Are you all out of your mind? It's President Trump, not Donald. We support our president. Canada can charge us terifs, but We can't?

Stand strong Canada ??, support here from the UK ??. I have never been to your country, but there will be ? support for you over here, from everybody. Trump really is behaving like a complete and utter pratt.

Ashamed American here. Please Canada, please don't forget that at least half of us Americans hate this stunning crap every bit as much as you do. We support you, Canada ...not Trump and his cohorts.

Support Canada against these attacks from the Trump administration.

President Trudeau. I applaud you for your honest and direct support to your people. \nI have decided that I will not stand with the American flag on holiday at our yearly sports fixtures to the USA. I will not step foot in that country again until these criminals running this country are gone. My trips twice a year will be in Canada instead. \nI’m from the UK, and we cannot believe the outrageous amount of egotism coming out of America with Musk, Trump, Vance and all his spineless minions and supporters. To all the USA victims, I pray you get through the next bumpy 4 long years with your traitors. God bless you all.

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.

As a Trump supporter, I am\nAgainst the 25% tariff on Canada because just what you’re hearing. Canada is a close and loyal ally to the U.S. we shouldn’t punish them and tarnish our relationship. We should grow and prosper together. yes I did support Trump but I didn’t support this.

Uk here, shame on trump for these tarrifs ,i support canada

Trump is slowly going to destabilise the USA deliberately in order to bring on a civil war & uprising so that he can involve the military to help him control the country by force. Mark my words that's his grand plan at home, he wants total control. Don't let him win if this happens. He wants an authetarian state similar to Russia, him & Musk, vance. Then he will try and take Greenland or even Canada, he will try to wind his supporters up into a frenzied in some way or form to basically pick a fight. With a military style rule over the USA he will then start to invade his neighbours or any other mineral rich nation. This is the worst possibility God bless it never materialises.

So strange to be a 66 y.o. American who will suffer the cost of these tariffs and still I'm in total support of you Canada. Please know most Americans do not want what Trump is inflicting upon us, our neighbors and international partners, nor do we believe this is a border issue. Grateful you're intelligent and a strong leader. Do not waiver.... hold your ground.

What Trump seems to try to get at most is the unfair act of the USMCA. Most trades benefited Canada, while Canada refused to provide the same fair trades. Sometimes Trump does say things that may have gone off track like fentyl handling on Canada's end and border handling. It seems like our borders at the time were less strict on the American side versus the Canadian side of the border. Trump did state multiple times that most countries like Canada were unfair to USA. Even with the USMCA, America got screwed by Mexico as will. America has been there helping and supporting and submitting to every country. Yet failed to support our own people when we need it, especially to clear up our own debts. Sadly, America is falling behind due to poor handling of Government Democrat corruption. I am neutral as both parties don't always provide the best solution for everyone. You have to pick who can help the American people. Seeing how corrupt the Democrats has ran America and the defacto behind of all the wars and money laundering has surprised me, and I hope the change with Trump will help everyone realize how screwed we all are in correcting those corruption that isn't really needed.

EU should do the same on applying tarriffs to Trump US and should continue to support Ucraine against the dictator in that country. Canada leader explained clearly and decisivaly their position against the bully tactics from US based on lies ( that is the policy of the Trump US - actions based on lies )

Canada needs to sober up and stop whining, Liberals acting like baby giving away billions to support wars and some bullshit..there is so much work that needs to be done to Canada be great. Trump is actually doing a favor by doing that.....let's how we are going to independent from USA

Don’t be polite. I’m an American. I support Canada. Tear Trump down!

From the U.S. and I support the Canadians. I respect how Trudeau speaks eloquently as a “grown-up” should, and the fortitude and strength he and all of Canada shows. I hope our 2 countries resolve this stupidity on trumps part. If not sooner than at least when his illegal reign is over (good riddance when he’s gone). ❤ you Canada!!!

Trump supporter here. I think Canada and Truedough are being very disrespectful to us. They should be saying Thank You more often for our support over the years. Teuedough hasn't got the cards on his side to go into a trade wars with us. No cards on his side. Tantrum Treudough is what i call him. No cards. Owes us an apology.

I’m also a veteran and voted for Trump.. I stand with the USA not Canada.. don’t have problems with Canada but I support my president and trust in what he is doing.. give him a chance… if he doesn’t do what he says and doesn’t make America great again will vote him out… look at all the previous president clowns in office. I am loyal to my country. I bleed United States no matter what.. I may not always like what has happened shot look at Biden but I’ll never side a with another country i pledge my allegiance to the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ??

I support Canada. There is no reason for this nonsense. Trump is a liar and a convicted criminal.

I am American and do not support what trump is doing to CANADA.

Canada better do more than that. I support Canada hitting us hard. Trump is a NIGHTMARE and a TRAITOR to the US Constitution.\nDo your worst. ?? Many of us support you here. Trump is an enemy to democracy.

Trump doesn't care about US jobs. He and the people who surround him are independently wealthy. They have already, in a few weeks, eliminated hundreds of thousands of jobs which support the running of the United States. Vital services, including VA hospitals, have been reduced. \nI support Canada, as a US citizen, against this US illogical behavior.

Support for Canada from Poland and Ukraine! Trump is crazy to attack US closest friends like Canada or EU. Trump's policy lead to big global economical crisis and potentially big wars.
