Well said. I will never understand how Trump and the entire Republican Party turned against our country and our allies, and aligned themselves with a murderous Russian dictator. I don’t know how anyone could grow up in the United States of America and so completely turn their backs on the Constitution, and the laws and values we stand for. I am confused. I am scared. I am angry. But mostly, I am ashamed to be living in Trump’s America.

“They” or “Trump”. I stand with you and indigenous Americans

I am yet another American who stands with Canada and against Trump

I’m an American and I stand with trump

Let me understand this. Trump is pressuring Europe to help their neighbors like Ukraine but here in the US Trump is throwing Canada away. How does this make sense? Trump speaks out of both sides of his mouth. I too stand with Canada

I think these tariffs/only America and America first policies will be the downfall of Trumps administration and the US economy/influence around the world. We are only driving allies away while bringing inflation/pain to our people. If DOGE isn’t enough to save our debt crisis, this is the start of the end of the US's #1 standing in the world.

President Trump is the best American President ever. I stand with Trump. He has done a lot of good things. He doesn't take any countries B.S.

This is the beginning of the world standing up to Trump!

I stand with Canada. Trump is a naughty man????

Trudeau, my brother, My words cannot begin to express to you or your people just how genuinely sorry I am for my country's utterly repulsive and inexcusable behavior throughout the last month and a half and for the downright cruel, hostile treatment you've suffered at the hands of the most incompetent, greedy, poorly educated, narcissistic, racist, sexist, xenophobic buffoon to ever preside over the United States. Not only is Donald Trump an overly privileged, pathetic, whiney crybaby who literally folds his arms, stomps his feet, and launches an all out temper tantrum whenever he doesn't get his way or when someone else has the TV remote, he is a dangerously delusional, high stakes risk taker who wouldn't think twice about using his own mother or child as a human body shield if he thought his life were in danger. There is absolutely no value, principle, moral or ethic he wouldn't betray without hesitation if he suspects there is anything at all to be gained - you know, the type of guy who would poison the entire neighborhood in order to hoard all the complimentary tampons and lip gloss samples from his neighbors' mail boxes just to ensure that he got first dibs on everything before anyone else. Incidentally, he is also the same type of guy who pockets all the flavored mini coffee creamers from the gas station and all the paper bed sheets and Qtips from the doctor's office. I wouldn't put it past him to steal the waitresses' tips off tabletops on his way out the door upon leaving McDonald's. In fact, I would bet everything that he steals the donation jars for Jerry's Kids at the local supermarket. I mean, its already a given that he is likely the guy who filed a lawsuit a few summers back against a sweet, innocent littls FOUR year old boy for having a lemonade stand on property not zoned for commercial use. If it wasn't Trump then I'm sure it's only because he was too busy ordering the National Guard to power hose and pepper spray the 30 or so elderly nuns who had been distributing bottled water to folks demonstrating in support of Black Lives Matter on the hottest day of the year. Satisfied in his victorious battle against the nuns - 9 of whom had been hospitalized for critical injuries including the 92 year old Mother Superior who suffered massive brain bleed, swelling and concussion due to the excessive force of the power hose and an 87 year old nun who lost permanent sight in one eye due to the pepper spray - Trump had the nerve to pose for a publicity shot in front of the church while holding a Bible - UPSIDE DOWN - and scrunching and contorting his face into that hideous trademark scowl he does ever so naturally. Yep. This is the man my fellow Americans chose to represent our nation as President - a man who beats up 90 year old nuns and imposes 25% tax hikes to our ONLY FRIEND in the entire world simply for refusing to accept his invitation for statehood. I mean, come on, Trudeau, is that really asking too much of you? Was it really worth bruising Donny's fragile little ego and sending him into a fit of rage? (Seriously, though, I suspect he really does feel as though you are in the wrong for refusing to humor his delusions and thus embarrassing him in front of all his Russian dictator and Ku Klux Klan buddies.)\nOnce again, I do humbly apologize and I promise I will support whatever actions you choose to take and I will help you in any way you deem is best. \nMuch love and peace always, \nMs. S. Delois Jackson

As a small business owner in Vermont I stand with Canada. Thank you for standing up to Trump so respectfully, eloquently and intelligently. Thank you for being an example.

From Belgium; Now this is a leader worth respecting. \nI hope Donald gets put in his place, whether he stops making enemies out of friends all around the world, instead of doubling down making this worse for everyone. \nOr gets stopped by the american people that stand up against him, united with allies their population worldwide, to hold higher morals then the absolute lack thereof asserted by the current Trump administration.

Trump's goal is to start an actual war with anyone who'll have it, including our closest neighbors and allies. The reason is that wartime presidents have more power and he doesn't care who stands in his way. He's going to use that power to detain journalists and jail political opponents ahead of the midterms claiming them to be traitors, then he's going to set himself up to run for a third term. If he succeeds, he'll have total control. Democratic leaders will be in jail, journalists will be silenced, and the national guard will forcefully search your home for any second amendments you might have lying around as they deliver our ballots at gunpoint. How do I know? Because that's what tyrants do. The US is in the midst of a political coupe and it's imperative that the situation be viewed from that paradigm. Drop any pretense that this administration is anyone's ally, they're not. They're a rogue administration attempting to seize total control of the US.

American here , we stand with Canada ?. We hate what's happening, please don't hate us! We are so sorry about tRump.

? Canada President Trudeau for taking a stand against this two headed beast in the U.S. Trump and Musk are monsters. They don't care who they hurt. They will eat their own babies.\n\nI am a black woman who lives in the U.S. who did not vote for Trump. Most Americans are not on board with these new deals against all of our allies.\n\nOur allies are having to take drastic measures against the U.S. because the people who voted for Trump were racist or just idiots and now we're all in the same boat who will suffer.\n\nTrump can never be trusted and the rest of his cronies.\n\nThis is going to be hard for all of us but we all will make it. Black people have always had to make a way out of no way.

Love you President Trudeau. I wish you were not leaving. Canada and the rest of the world need people like you to overcome the destruction of America. We in New Zealand need people just like you to stand up to Trump and his criminal republicans. Please re-think about leaving.

Imagine voting for Trump over inflation while he was saying he would use tariffs and people thinking it wouldn't affect them. So naive. Trump is an agent of chaos who is anathema to everything this country stands for, and it's self-evident by his actions. We are a country who is strong because of our friends around the world and no one will trust this country when we keep putting an idiot in office who doesn't honor former president's agreements. You can't work with a country who won't stick to it's agreements. You wouldn't tolerate a friend like that, and this is the same thing on a macro level.

Canada stand strong against PUTIN'S PUPPET TRAITOR TRUMP.

Well said PM Trudeau! Canadians will not stand for these treacherous actions by Trump. I will always stand up for my country, Canada ?? and will always stand on guard for thee! ?? ? ??

Texan here. If I was Canada, I would have put a 30% Tariff against the U.S. Canada didn’t start this Fight, Trump did!!!!!!! U.S. Air Force Combat Unit Veteran, and I stand with all of NATO and Ukraine, and I can’t forget our Freinds on the Southern Border Mexico. Americans will always be Friends with Canada, you should be very proud of your Prime Minister, or President?

Denmark stands with Canada\n??❤️?? F Trump

Our allies we stand with! Trump must go!

I was born and live in the US and trust me, there are many people including me who not only didn't vote for Trump, but can't believe his ridiculous rhetoric and actions. I stand with Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine.

You know you done something really wrong when you piss off the Canadians. I am glad they are standing up for themselves and not putting up with Trump's stupidity.

Im so embarrassed to be and american. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, and NATO. NOT ALL OF US VOTED FOR TRUMP. !!!! I thankfully live in CONNECTICUT but I'm really scared for democracy. I wish I could move to Canada

The rest of the world is with you Canada and Mexico. We no longer stand with America. NEVER AGAIN. Until Trump is LONG GONE. And do not lie with Russia.

Trump is a travesty! As an American, I am appalled by his tariffs on our allies Canada & Mexico. Please continue to fight against his bombastic ways!! Thinking Americans stand against him!

Trump should face a special tribunal along with Musk. Seize their assets for national debt. I am an American who stands with Canada.

This ain't us, this is Trump and the old folks who are clueless about how things work in today's market. We do not stand with Putin - ✌️

Most of us Americans do not agree what he is doing . Trump is dumb we stand with u

I still stand with Trump and Elon and Doge. Canada‘s government has to be crooked too look at what the average Canadian spends on a mortgage . Their citizens not in good shape.

The US/Canada rivalry is supposed to be ON THE ICE! I Do Not Support Trump's Rhetoric - This American (In Michigan) Stands on Guard For ?? !

I'm an American and I DID NOT vote for Trump- both times. I will never forgive those who did. Ever. I stand with Canada.

Our allies help protect the US just as we help to protect them. \nTrump think US can stand along, how dumb can one be to think such!\nAmerica brace yourself for a rough, rocket ride! Trump is trying to destroy this country!

Norway stands with Canada, Ukraine and every country around the world that has to deal with this bully and thug Trump and his bff Putin. Be strong Canada ❤❤

Trump did it because Canada stand with Ukraine

Fuck Trump and his bootlickers. Standing with the American people who aren't MAGA morons and standing with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine.

Trump destroyed the entire economy and our global standing in five weeks. That was fast.

As an American I can say with a full heart that I stand with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine. Donald Trump is a pig and the majority of the American people are complete and utter assholes for electing this deranged demagogue piece of shit. To the world at large, I'm deeply sorry for the stupidity of my people.

American here and I stand with Canada, Mexico, the UK and Europe too! NOT RUSSIA!!! Trump is destroying our county and creating drama and chaos where there was none. That's all he knows...to tear stuff down...relationships, businesses, and countries.

Not a fan of Trudeau but Trump. Canada should be proud to have this man who have balls to stand up against lunatic Trump and Vance.

Trump is an embarrassment. He is completely UN- USA. He doesn't even realized Canada, Mexico, Central and South American, are all Americans. Canada you are right and I stand with you. These are such sad times.

Not all Americans are with Trump or Putin. Many of us stand with Mexico, Canada, and Europe. Americans love their country, but many Americans are hurting and suffering and feel let down by our government. It's a circus now. We are sick and tired of the high cost of taxes, food, gas, housing, and now these tariff's that are only going to hurt Americans more.

I am from Germany and I stand with Canada. Trump is a very bad president and his circus of evil fellowes is so silly.

Please America, stand up to Trump. He is going to ruin your great country.

No Mr PM! Trumps and Musk, and their cult following, brought this nonsense to Canada. Us non trumpettes are standing with you ??

USA is not a friend, never has been. They manipulates and uses who or what ever they want. This is not a Trump issue, this is how USA always has been. We stand for Canada ??????

We are collectively drifting into a more and more divided world. I hope the Americans will stand up against Trump and realize that he is harming their country with his current actions and pro-russian politics.

We stand with president Trump. You go down, Trudeau. You are not a friend.

Have just watched “Newsnight” in the U.K. where Melanie Joli was being interviewed. One very very impressive lady - she didn’t pull any punches and said just how it is. Canada is the only country to have the guts to say the truth about the current U.S. administration. Let’s hope more countries have the guts to stand up to Trump.
