Trump is a sociopath. He is my country undoing, it's big mistake. I pray that we able to survive his presidency. As a native Californian I extent my most sincere apology to Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and to the rest of our allies. I'm so very sorry, we dont want this.

Trump belittles Zelensky our ally calling him a dictator, saying he started the war three years ago. He belittles our ally Trudeau by calling him governor. This is wrong. I'm sorry Canada. This is no way to treat an ally.

After a couple of years Trump and co will say, that Canada started a trade war against US. Just like they say, that Ukraine and Zelenskyy started the war with Russia. And now some uf US commentators are saying the same. It’s crazy. And there will be no way to get him to remember the facts. He and all who work for him are liars and half truth tellers. I’m not sure how to deal with this. But it is VERY important for all media outlets to keep reminding the facts. Just tell what happens, so there is a record. I think that could help in the end.\nSo here are my 5p:\nUS started trade war against Canada with 25% tariffs.\nRussia annexed Crimean peninsula and attacked Ukraine in 2022. This is the truth, no two ways about these facts.\nTrump and Vance are liars.

As an american , I am absolutely appalled and angry at how trump and his people are acting. It's a disgrace , it's an embarrassment , and it's unacceptable. I don't take the red pill every day, so i'm not in the red haze. If you do take that pill every day, this will all affect you too. So good luck with that!! Your god will be gone in four years and then we'll switch everything back to normal!!

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.

It's sad that Donald Trump, the president of the United States of America need other men to make him look so-called strong! The United States of America is a Latin stock and I want the rest of the world to know that the American people did not vote for this, do not want this, and to be honest with that we do not want Donald Trump in South Africa can take Elon Musk back because we don't want him either, actually emblemas can go f*** himself! We apologize to the Ukraine president, to Mexico president to the Canadian president, and all the leaders that have been allies to the United States of america, I'm speaking on behalf of every sane American care in the United States of America please accept our apologies and don't judge us so harshly because we didn't want this at all?

I am so angry at Trump. He has gone against the friends of the U.S. and align himself with that lying murdering pig. I'm so Canada.?

“i’m not your friend, guy”… i wonder what trump is thinking

I voted blue and moved from a red state over to a blue state because I don't agree with conservative republican views. I especially didn't want Trump back in office because I thought he was horrible the first time. My heart sunk after the election because I saw this coming. I'm hoping for some sort of impeachment because dealing with Trump for 4 more years seems unfathomable.

I’m an American I support my President TRUMP! ??

I'm with Mr. Trudeau! Thank you good sir! Make Trump pay for his mistakes! The American people will soon tell Trump and his despicable minions to take a hike. Let's pray for their wisdom.

Trump knows this is wrong but it’s more about his presidential legacy. He wants to be a president talked about in history books for centuries like George Washington or Abraham Lincoln and with ALL of his controversial antics….I’m sad to say it…he will?

I'm an American who did not vote for the boar in the white house. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, Mexico, Greenland and Panama. Trump is behaving as if he made a deal with Putin to destroy the American economy and America's international relationships. We are making enemies of all our allies.

The reaction from the white house will be as stupid as trump himself... Something along the lines of.... Nuh uh yer dum! vladimir poopskin told me I'm smart! I fuckin despise our idiot president!

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.

I’m not a fan of Trudeau but he speaks in a calm rational manner. He is polite but firm. I’m an American and although I agree with some of Trumps ideas, being rude and not thinking things through before acting, is inexcusable. We have enemies all over the world and now we have even turned our friends against us. The drug problem is an American problem, not Canada or Mexico. We can’t keep guns from entering Mexico, arming the cartels, how can we expect the Mexican government to keep drugs out of America?

I'm from Montreal but live in Vermont. I hold Canadian AND American citizenship. I've NEVER been so proud to be a Canadian. Yet, here in Vermont, MOST of us, including Governor Scott, detest Trump and his minions. Love 'n optimism, Heather in Newport Vermont

Their are some People that voted for Trump that are finally waking up to the reality of the situation I'm keeping my faith that we will over come all this chaos in our country and can get rid of Donald Trump and Elon Musk for good

I’m sickened what Trump is doing and no longer a proud American

I'm American...I love Canada! I have many friends there ! Thank you for standing up for Canada and actually for standing up for innocent Americans like me who never voted for this monster we have now as a president! I'm 50 and I've never ever seen anyone like the administration we have now ! My parents and my grandparents would be ashamed of Donald Trump especially my grandfather who was a world War 2 vet who received a purple heart award ! Shame on you Donald

I'm happy that Canada show some backbone back ! Trump is a bully and prays on the weak ! You must be hard to not get targeted

I’m French Canadian and proud ?? ? I live in US but did NOT vote for trump

Thank you Mr. Trudeau. We reasonable Americans appreciate our good neighbors in Canada. I'm willing to suffer in order to get rid of Trump.

I'm sorry Canada. Trump isn't a good president. :(

I’m sorry neighbor. Trump is not my president. And I am very sorry that there are a lot of us who have been brainwashed into supporting our current administration. Maybe the sting of an even emptier wallet will start to wake them up.

I'm pretty sure all that has transpired over the past few days is a result of Musk's influence over Trump.

Yeah I’m guessing if trump made that call this guy was doing something nefarious behind the scenes. His people hate him. He’s a baby dictator. He’s in no position to lecture anyone about governments hurting their people!

America is now the enemy…a nation allied with the murderous regime of Dictator Putin’s, Russia. \nI’m Australian & I am disgusted by America. Americans might say that they stand with Canada or Ukraine however, tens of millions of you voted for Trump in 2024 & you knew his level of tyranny, his ideology, his policies, his criminality, his intentions. Many, many millions of you decided to not vote at all! The blame is squarely on your shoulders! ?

Trudeau was one of the first presidents to congratulate Trump in person after his election victory. Well, I'm pretty sure he would take that back if he knew this day would come. In any case, good delivery, cool, calm, collected and convincing. Kudos, young man?

Trump is literally trying to destroy America. I see no other explanation for this insane behavior. He's just a traitor, he wants America destroyed. I'm open to other explanations.

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.

I'm American who Vote for Trump I'm sorry to Canadian >>>Dictator Trump

I'm heartbroken for us all. Blame Canada (and Mexico), which is an artificial excuse. This allows him to impose tariffs. Putin wants this, and trump is his lapdog.

I'm an American and I'm deeply ashamed of what Donald Trump's administration is doing.

Can a us become a province of Canada. Because I'm not proud to be an American with Maga on this earth and Trump as the King and Elon being president. The gullible average American who voted for a rapist and felon is a problem too. Never forget who put these un American people in office.

As an American, I'm sorry to Canada and those of us who didn't vote for Trump. We don't deserve this and the ones who voted for him, you need to repent and wonder if it was really worth it. This mess is just the beginning. God help us!

I'm a US citizen and am ashamed at what's happening here. Don't bend to Trump!

As a Native, I'm sick of these colonizers whining about borders, that includes Trump and Trudeau. I don't care how many generations your family has been here, it's time you start behaving as our guests, because that's what you are.

I’m so ashamed of our country. This is going to cause global economy collapse. This is going to hurt everyone, and country, and corporations. Trump knows what he’s doing. He’s working with Putin to cause this- global plutocracy. Thank you for speaking truth to power. Maybe now, it will sink in to people. We pay, not ??. They are force to put tariffs on their goods, who do you think pays? This is ?, peanut butter, Aluminum foil, etc. I suggest start stocking up. In about two weeks increased prices will hit the shelves.

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

I'm American and so ashamed of our country’s behavior… Trump is a villain, a greedy, dictator!\n\nSo many of us Americans align with you Canada… Trump is diasterous and devastating our country. Trump is evil, corrupt and needs to go! Trump is a liar and we don't believe anything Trump says!

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'm extremely saddened and disappointed by everyone who voted for Trump when we knew this day was coming. It's your fault this country is about to go through one of the worst economic periods ever.

From USA. What a good speech, TRUDEAU is eloquent, smart, diplomatic, and I'm pleased he called Trump Donald. THAT SPEAKS Volumes here. TRUMP is not my president. I'm sickened to what he is doing, harming Canada and Usa. Trump sickens me. He is not smart. He is not a leader. I'm with CANADA. AND UKRAINE!!

Like I've said before or two other blogs, this man should not be up there addressing CNN or any other network or any population. Whether it be Canadian or American. He has no right to be there. He is not the prime minister of this country anymore. He has no right to be making policies or to be imposing tariffs or doing anything else of the sort. Furthermore, he is also politically, unsavvy and ignorant. He in his running the mouth speech this afternoon. Insulted Donald Trump again by calling him dumb. I'm telling you that will not go very well with Mr. Trump and I wouldn't be surprised to see additional tariff percentage increased on the 25% already in place. Justin Trudeau is not a prime minister. He is a thug, an absolute idiot, a moron and any other adjective that you can find to describe someone who is totally and completely incompetent and incapable of implementing policy or running a country.

I m wondering where all these MAGA voters who usually rush to the comments defending Trump are now... Why so silent guys?

Listen all over the world react to Donald Trump. Looking at in the old testement how God punish His people. United States now loosing the free world leader now. It's a shame. I'm not sure who is the dictator now. A free world leader not speaking like a 6 years old kit. America is a christian country, American should speak or talking like a christian, not talk like evil.

I’m just so sad and that the current american administration is trying so hard to make us hate each other! \n\nWhen things get bad, in a couple of weeks or months for both of us. Trump and his media Will absolutely blame Canada, not just for trying to defend itself, but for all of it. He Will try to make americans hate us so much so he can get something out of it and thats so wrong.\n\nI have so many memories of traveling to the US and meeting great people there. I don’t want it to end and I want to remember that most americans are our friends, good people who don’t wish harm to others.\n\nI really Hope reason and good people Will prevail, I Hope je won’t bête allowed to continue down this path for long, I Hope the congress or anyone will stand up for whats right. Courage!

I did not vote for Trump. I'm saddened by this knowing that Canada is of good people.

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!??
