As an American let me say I am sorry and embarrassed. Let’s wait this guy out.

I am embarrassed to be an American right now

As a powerless American, I hope other countries will help curve Trump's madness/power kick. \n\nIt's embarrassing. He's destroying our economy, causing mass job loss, and just being played like a monkey by Musk, the Republican Party, and Putin. \n\nSeriously....I get his followers are either selfish rich people or ignorant barely passed highschool racists, but stupid/selfish is an excuse that only goes so far.

As a Vermonter, i support my neighbor and and embarrassed and mortified to consider any American, especially a president or ANY leader would do this thing, to our neighbor or its own citizens. Oh Discordia

? I'm embarrassed to be an American, where everything has a feeeeee ?

That is how a leader speaks!! He was succinct, armed with actual facts, eloquent and effective…all that and he didn’t need to sell a stupid hat or crypto coin. It’s so embarrassing to be an American right now. We stand with Canada!??

For the first time, I'm ashamed and embarrassed to be an American. Trump does not speak for me. I ask Canadians and Mexicans to stand firm against tyranny, no matter where it comes from.

As an American, the intellectual majority of us stand with Canada and abhor our current president's policies and actions towards our allies. He is an embarrassment to the US.

I am an American and embarrassed of this present administration, but I didn’t vote for this side off madness , much love to my brothers and sisters. May God always be with you. ?

How embarrassing for Americans

As a deeply embarrassed American, I stand with Ukraine and I stand with Canada. \n✊????

Good on Canada. Trump is a traitor, as is Vance and the entire Administration. Americans are deeply embarrassed by the harm Trump is doing to the United States and the world. We do NOT stand with Trump and never, ever will.

I'm so embarrassed to be an American right now. Canada, you are a class act, and there are so many of us here in the USA that are truly sorry for the shameful behavior of our UNELECTED President Musk and his side-piece Trump.

This is how a leader acts & responds, not like the current toddler in the White House that embarrasses American's daily

As an American, I am embarrassed, ashamed and outraged at Trump. I can't believe that Republicans are going along with any of what Trump is doing!

Why couldn't we have a POTUS like Trudeau ...I am embarrassed to be an American

As Americans, I feel sad and embarrassed, as some of us get blindsided by the idiot/stupid/crook/traitor Dumb Trump as president, we are sorry to all our allies. some of us still has moral and integrity. sorry

We are with you . Embarrassed to be an American.

AS AN AMERICAN VETERAN, THIS IS THE MOST EMBARRASSING AMERICA HAS BEEN IN OUR LIFETIME!! #RealizeTheTruth #ItsCrookedTrumpsEconomy #CriminallyCorruptTrump

As an American, I don’t support Trump and am embarrassed and ashamed these tariffs are happening. Not all Americans support Trump. Canada is still a friend and ally to me. Trump is a terrible, ignorant person.

Trump's a tiny little narcissistic puppet of Russia. Canada has class, and they will not let him be a petulant bully. As an American, I am embarrassed by Trump's treatment of our allies, and I support Canada. Sorry, Canada. Trump's an idiot.

I support Canada and Im embarrassed to be an American. ?????. Scott from Downtown Detroit MI.

WE AMERICANS NEED HELP FROM OUR WHITE HOUSE. THEY ARE DESTROYING US. WE DON'T WANT THIS. WE ARE EMBARRASSED.

This goes out to all Canadians. On the behalf of sane Americans, we are embarrassed by our president's behavior. In order to have a friend, you have to be a friend. And right now, we are not being friendly. We're being mislead.

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!!!

Prime Minister speaks with grace, intellect, and empathy! I am American and embarrassed, ashamed, and disgusted with this president and surrounding members. It is time for our congress to step up and put a stop to this nonsense. There is a better way through collaboration and respect!!!!

As a German - apart from the content which is no less than justified - just technically comparing Trudeau´s speech with Donald Trump´s verbal outcome - what an incredible difference in niveau & tone. Isn't it almost tragic how little skill it took to run the U.S and even worse, how low the common-sense-threshold must be for a half of the American people to make this happen a second time. Embarrassing.

As an American living abroad, it’s embarrassing to see my home country picking unnecessary fights with one of its closest allies. Slapping 25% tariffs on Canada—a country that has stood by the U.S. through wars, trade deals, and countless crises—isn’t just aggressive, it’s downright stupid. My family back home is already dealing with rising costs, and this kind of reckless economic policy only makes things worse. Tariffs aren’t paid by foreign countries; they’re paid by American consumers. Trump bragging about ‘punishing’ Canada is like punching your best friend in the face and then wondering why your hand hurts. Short-sighted, unnecessary, and ultimately self-destructive.

I am absolutely embarrassed to be an American. On behalf of the millions of Americans who were mentally weak enough to vote for this steaming pile of a presidential administration, I want to sincerely apologize to the countries in the world who are dedicated to promoting democracy, and decency, and opposing 12-year-old childish bullying, tyranny, and dishonesty. To my fellow Americans who were stupid enough to be dupped by this cesspool sitting in power in the white house, STOP BEING IDIOTS AND PULL YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES before we become a dictatorship with a puppet ruler lead by another dictator!!!!!!!

What an embarrassing time for America ... this second term is even worse than the first. Trump is destroying this country on a world-wide stage. Family and colleagues from around the world are asking if we know more ... but I guess most Americans are dumbfounded by all these stupid moves.

As an American, I must say we have boot-licking morons running our Government. I can't believe EVERY Republican agrees with anything that Trump says. It's like we're living in a Twilight Zone episode. I feel so bad for Pr. Zelenskyy and Ukrainians. I'm embarrassed to be American and I can't believe so many Americans were voting for this clown. That probably bothers me more than anything. Apologies to the world and our friends in Canada. JT is being too kind. Shut down your borders to the USA. Ontario....cut your electrical and energy power to the USA. Cut off all trade. I hope China does the same. Make the USA swirl down the drain in pain. I don't want to wait for 2 years to try and vote in more Democrats to put a stop Trump .Bully him back. Bullies always back down when strongly confronted.

Today Trump did. Believe me, this American (embarrassing as it is) is against his regime. It’s sick and uncalled for.

I am embarrassed to be an American, and I can completely understand why the world hates us.

I love being an American but I'm sooo embarrassed to be one today..I love canada ??

First Ukraine, now Canada. As an American, I’m embarrassed. We’re bullying our allies while chumming up with the KGB ??‍♂️

Hi Canada; Today I’m Embarrassed to say; I’m an American Citizen. I for One, Do Not Agree with trump. And I know there are many that feel the Same. trump is Like a Very Bad Virus; We Are All going to get Very Sick from it. But We Will Get Over this Virus. And We Will Get Better. ; Again!

It really says something when you back stab your ally for no reason. I'm so embarrassed to be an American. ?

I’m an American (I’m embarrassed to say) but I am proud to say I completely oppose Trump & Musk’s plan to turn us into or over to Russia. They are in alliance with the corrupt project 2025 and Putin. They are traitors to America. Sadly the world must not trust them. They LIE. They are actively destroying the USA. Trump and Musk need to rule Mars. DEPORT BOTH OF THEM TO SPACE. I support Canada, Gaza, Greenland and Mexico. I WOULD DEPORT TRUMP AND MUSK IF I COULD. They are CRIMINALS and have no legitimacy in my America. Dirty Traitors.

One disagreement Mr Trudeau: Trump is “very smart guy”? Nope. He certainly is “clever” which is what delineates smart from “criminal con man”. Clever is what he uses for his grift, with American citizens and the national stage as his target market, to line his pockets along with the pockets of his cronies, the ultra rich. The bright note is that there is a huge collective of Americans who see Trump for what he is. We are NOT supportive of any of this nonsense since 1/20/2025. Musk/Trump/Vance are an embarrassment we did not vote for. We stand with Ukraine, Canada, and Mexico who echo normal reason.

It’s so embarrassing to be American right now. I wish I was Canadian.

So much respect for him and the people of Canada right now. I’m so embarrassed of our American president.

For us Americans whose heads aren't shoved so far up our asses , we can see what we had for lunch. I apologize to the free world for Donald J Trump . I'm embarrassed to have to call this man president of the United States!

Hi, American citizen here. Please know that half of us are so, so embarrassed to be part of the United States and to have Trump as our president. I cannot put into words how upsetting it is to know that so many people elected him a second time.

As an American, I am embarrassed on what our government is doing. I completely agree with Canada. \n\nOur government has proven that it doesn’t care about its citizens.

As an American..This is how a leader speaks..and not a bunch of word salad BS like Trump and his goons address the world. Just embarrassing as hell.

This is horrifying! Trump has embarrassed American's!

As an (embarrassed) American, Canada, most Americans stand with you and we’re so sorry.

America has become an embarrassment...We Americans who didnt vote for him (and some that did) feel powerless. I stand with Canada and Ukraine ???????

As an American I stand with Canada! Trump and his current administration are a complete joke and an embarrassment to the U.S.

You are spot on!!!’ I am embarrassed to be an American !!!!
