As an American, I am so embarrassed… I cannot believe everything going on. I’m disgusted with that orange man, his cabinet. I want to throw up every time I see politics right now. What shame. ?

It’s a shame they called this the “‘…US launched…” tariff war. I wanted no part of this! I am disgusted but his.

Aloha Prime Minister, Trudeau, and Canadiens, the majority in this country can’t stand the current administration in our embarrassed, concerned, and want him out along with every MAGA moron selling this country out! I am so angry and disgusted! I apologize for our horrific leadership and I hope one day the people who are responsible for what is happening will be charged with sedition and espionage! I’ve had it. I stand with Ukraine Canada and the same citizens of this country who despise everything this current administration has done since they took office! You people who believe that Trump is this wonderful person and he’s doing wonderful things for America read a fucking history book!

I'm sorry Canada. Believe me, half our country (including me), are disgusted by these tariffs. We stand with you!

God how I wish this man was my President. Please know, Canada, that millions of Americans like myself are disgusted by the traitor in the White House.

Aloha Prime Minister, Trudeau, and Canadiens, the majority in this country can’t stand the current administration in our embarrassed, concerned, and want him out along with every MAGA moron selling this country out!

I'm a 71 yr old woman. I'm crying! To listen to a leader who is coherent and articulate is foreign as of late. I haven't slept a full night since he came into office. I'm ashamed of the people in the country that are disgusting brainwashed maganuts. My daughter in law & her family are from Montreal. We stand with Canada!! You should impose a 30% counter tariff! America is dying because of that orange nazi & his group of nazi clowns. God bless Canada, Ukraine, Israel & may He save America!!?

CNN is disgusted headlining Trudeau like he is amazing and defending Canada stop hating our country..Too many young kids have died from fentanyl poisoning because of these people why don’t you look a parent in the eye that lost a child and tell them what Trump is doing is wrong you would never you cowards

Thank you for honesty and eloquency PM Trudeau. While your tariff will hurt us, I understand this criminal residing in the peoples house is causing this response. Please know many Americans are disgusted with the convict, and the ignorant, kool aid drinking ass-holes that voted for him.. and yes that includes those evangelicals that claim to love God...

As a Native American I’m disgusted with how DOTARD is destroying our country!!! My ancestors are crying, hate to say it but I’m happier my mother passed away before this buffoon was back!! She’d be so worried, possibly losing her social security and survivors benefits…that was her life-line!…at least she’s resting peacefully!!! ? Miss you mama!!! ??????\nAnd FYI…DOTARD is NOT a smart man, he’s a greedy, egotistical, narcissistic fool!!!

I.m With You...Canada ? I.m So Disgusted In Trump.....He's Crazy\nI Didn't Vote For His A**

He’s working directly for Putin. He had to pay back for his help getting elected to stay out of jail. I’m literally disgusted.

I'm proud to hear this from our PM. No appeasement. No concessions. We expect only a stupid response from a stupid, disgusting man. \nAll the Western leaders should band together to call out this disgusting, vile US leader & point out exactly what he is.

I was so proud when I became an American Citizen. Not anymore! I am so disgusted and ashamed and want go back where I come from.

PM Trudeau, this president of ours does not speak for half of our country. Many of us are sickened and disgusted by his choices. We are stuck with someone we do not want! My hope is that people will remember it is Trump making these choices. Please do not hold everything against all of the American people because we are NOT ALL supporting him.

I was thinking after how trump went to town on Zelensky, which was disgusting.\nWhy give the US access to minerals in Ukraine, disconnect from USA and do the deal with EU nations.

Canada not the only country is mad, angry, disgusted by Donald Trump when the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said you're a smart man this is a dumb thing to do , Check out his face he's saying to Donald Trump you're not a smart man and you're dumb man . Bravo Trudeau as an American well said I stand with you and a large number of people in America stand with Canada.................................................

THE POWER OF GID SHALL COMPEL YOU ALL DISGUSTING FRIENDS OF AMERICA. ??LONG LIVE MAGA AND OUR MESIAS TRIMP.????

Americans wake up ! Canada is your biggest ally - this is disgusting. And what Trump is doing is in a way what Putin is doing to Ukraine. Why would Canadians want to be the 51st state? They are their own country and they are proud.

A BUNCH OF FAKE MORALE OUTRAGE ABOUT COMMUNICATION PATTERNS. MEANWHILE YOU SUPPORTED AND SUPPORT WARMONGER. YOU DISGUST ME. YOU DISGUST THOSE AROUND YOU.

It disgusts me this piece of shit represents Canada

I’m American. We are appalled and disgusted with Trump. Please know we love Canada and wish this was not happening. We stand with you and with all the good people in the world.

You need to stop watching the mainstream media! Perhaps then you would know what the facts are! \nOops, nevermind, you know the truth, you're just too disgusting to speak it!!!

Most of us find Trump disgusting and love Canada. You have to protect your people. What a firm, yet eloquent speech. I hate to see how Trump is treating everyone. He is not smart or nice.

I’m a NEVER Trumper. A ?in a red state. Trump does not represent me nor my morals and convictions. I was physically ill watching him and his pup Vance absolutely bully President Zelenskyy. I’m sorry that this is what half of the country voted for. I’m disgusted that I had family and friends who refused to see him for who he is. I’m so sorry to all those who didn’t vote for him yet we will also be aligned with him. I greatly appreciate you Prime Minister Trudeau. Thank you to those in other countries that realize not all Americans wanted this. Not all Americans bowed a knee to him. Thank you for your kindness.

There was no reason for these tariffs against Canada. Our closest neighbor and ally. Unreal! Trump is doing exactly what he has been instructed to do, to divide the USA. Both nationally and globally. Putin must be patting himself on the back for a job well done. Disgusting Republicans.

Hey Canadians, on behalf of the good people in America... I apologize for the ignorance and stupidity of one EMBARRASSING excuse of a leader that is not only sticking it to Americans in every way you can think ... I refuse to call him a president because he is NOT... He is a convicted felon, convicted on 34 felonies. He is a fraudster, a cheater, a LIAR, a thief, and a THUG! He is not a legal president because he cheated to get elected in the first place because he cheated in 2016 by having his Russian friends interfer in our election by smearing, and launching the wikileaks ĺeak that She had emails from her secratary of state days on an unsecured computer at the DNC Hillary Clinton, merely weeks ahead of the 2016 election.\nTrump also incited a seditious insurection in 2020 after losing that election failing his attempted coup to sieze power in an election he LOST! Donald Trump and many of the GOP that ran for thier lives on Jan. 6th 2021 now refer to the insyrection as a peacful gathering of non violent protesters... Trump calls it the best day ever!!! Think about that for a minute! The very first order of business Trump did after his inauguration was to pardon 1500 crimina convicts that either plead guilty or were found guilty of charges like sedition. And insurectionists. Many of them for violent crimes like battery on a police officer. And other charges loke trespassing on a federal building, and theft charges for stealing laptops and all sorts of things.\nDonald Trumps first act was to free all of them with a wave of a pen... he freed police bashers!!! And scum bags like Elmer Rhoads, and leader of the proud boys Enrique Tarrio... and all tge violent punks that tried to overturn a free and fair election!!! I is disgusting! HE a k so pardoned the biggest drug dealer in America that catered to criminals and murderers, the owner and inventer of the silk roads dark web site.\nTrump is a Russian asset, make no mistake about it. And fir the last 40 days or so he set about to burning down all American institutions with the help of his Billionaire campaign donors that agreed to get him elected for MORE MONEY!!! Trump is turningvon our trusted allies all friends, and siding with countries like Russua, North Korea, Iran, Turkey, and other countries that are under the control of string men autocrats, and dictators! He publicly called our friend and ally Vlidomir Zelenskyy a dictator! While at the same time calling Vladimir Putin a genius, and a really smart guy that wants peace he says!\nVladimir Putin is the worlds most cold blooded mass murderer of our lifetime and he is a war criminal that kills mostly civilians, women and children deliberatly!!! He poisons his political opponents and business partners with plutonium and other ways like having them thrown out a high ruse window, or shit from the sky in an airplane!!!\nDonald Trump is a maniac that Ameruca needs to desperately get rid of before he finishes the job of burning down all our institutions and burning our constitution and democracy in order to turn Ameruca into an autocracy...\nSo, Canadians.... we Americans are deeply embarrassed and we apologize for the reckless behavior of one man!! One ignorant man... Donald Trump. There has never been a more shameful and embarrassing time to be an American! Eff Trump!!!

As an American, I couldn’t be more embarrassed to be one right now, and I couldn’t be more thankful to Canada for standing up to this disgusting bully of a so-called President we have here in the U.S.

We be aight remember when we suffer Canadian will starve for sure this fool is disgustingly stupid and dumb he is talking about dictatorship he forgot what he did few years back to the agricultural sector for protesting/going on strike he been the almighty Canadian aka the big honcho he decides to punished everyone frozen ? all their assets including bank accounts not counting he took Canadian second amendment ?

Why are we insulting Russia. Russia should be our trade partner. Yet, we support Israel. Disgusting. I agree with the tariff stance, but the whole Russia and China criticism is rooted in Canada's relationship with the US. They're enemy was our enemy. Smart'n up Trudeau.

See!!!! Orange IDIOT IS TRYING TO ISOLATE US... PISSING OFF ALLIES!!! WORKING WITH OUR ENEMIES!!! Sounds like HITLER IN THE 40S!!! \nSO ASK YOU AMERICA: ARE YOU FEELING GREAT AGAIN!!!\nAS AN AMERICAN IM DISGUSTED BY THE ORANGE TURD. I STAND WITH CANADA ??

I wonder if there is far more fentanyl moving from the US into Canada than the other way around. Just disgusting.

I feel sick, disappointed and disgusted. Shame America. Nothing but lies

I'm from the UK and I am very impressed with the Canadian Prime Minister's response, what a contrast from the felon in the White House. I have been researching which Canadian products are available here and will be switching to them and away from U.S products. And to ordinary Americans who are as disgusted by their leadership as so many of us around the world are, I hope you will be able to reclaim your country back from Trump and MAGA who are doing so much harm to you.

Trump is going to go onstage tonight and lie about why the tariffs on Canada. We have done nothing to deserve this. One percent of fentanyl and one percent of illegal immigrants come from Canada into the USA. We give America a huge deal on oil. Trump lies about this to justify the tariffs. We did act on our border not just because trump demanded it but because it needed to be done. Still the tariffs came. He is a bully and a disgusting human being and I am sad that our friendship with the USA is over. He is putting Americas at risk and screwing his own farmers. We will not stand for this

I NEVER thought i would see this day where we are at war with our neighbors! I arrived here in 1981 from UK with my family. \nI am utterly disgusted with the DONALD! \nMaybe he is a smart man, BUT doing DUMB THINGS!!!! \nWhat he is doing to the American people is one of the worst things you could do for your country! \n\nWe stand with you Americans from across the border here ! \n?? ??

I AM CANADIAN. And sad to say I and my family were Trump supporters through halfway through his first term. The BS and blantent vugar talk from his mouth and now criminal conviction was enough. But now that I see Elon Musk , Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezzos and other billionaires in his shady corner I knew something wasnt right! And after how President Zelenskyy was treated, disgusting right for the news to see on purpose. Your President is way too close to Putin and who knows what other countries. Trump, and his cronies want the spoils and treasures of Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and Gazza! BTW Trump your welcome from Canada ?? for helping putting out your fires in California! But, then again we know you wont thank Canada! Hey Americans Canada ?? loves you! Alot of great history together! Lets not let trump and his cronies divide us!

Go to hell Trudeau. You're a disgusting communist that failed Canada and didn't fix the border that would have prevented this. of course, anybody who watches CNN is an idiot.

Such a disgusting time in America. ?

Absolutely Disgusting ? && this is only the beginning of his crazy circus for the next four years ???‍♂️?

Please know that not all of us support that wrinkly orange anus and it's cronies. A lot of us are very sickened and disgusted about what does orange wrinkly anuses do into our country. Our country.

We're all so disgusted and saddened about all of this. You're so right about everything that you're saying about trump; Putin has his puppet in this country and he's making the most of it, by helping trump to become dictator here. Please Canada, do what you have to do, we don't want this either; we're stuck with trump until our congress grows a spine and kicks this ugly, vindictive man out of office! Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, you are what is needed in this crisis! I'm glad to be a Canadian, I just wish I was living there, not here. What a total embarrassment to us all that did not vote for trump. (from Sandi Paquet)

How truly sad and disgusted I am at Trump's attack on Canada, Mexico and all his allies. It is beyond comprehension that Trump is being allowed by the Congress and the Senate to trample on the Allies of the USA. I am in Australia and I feel the concern and the pain being suffered by Canadians, historically the like us, alllies of the USA, because of the treachery and betrayal by the USA, whilst supporting despots like Putin in its attacks on our democratic way of life. We are in dangerous times indeed. Where we end up only God knows. I know onr thing for sure God is not on the side of the USA in its treachery.

I am ashamed we have a felon running the US. Utterly disgusting, disgraceful.

We are so sorry! So many of us Americans do not stand with DT. It hurts me so when I hear those words, “America has done” this or that. It’s not us, it’s HIM and his sugar daddy EM. I did not vote for him. He is a shameless liar and more, and I cannot believe this is our reality. Disgusting! \nSending love to Canada ☹️

As an American I am disgusted that we have that orange POS sitting in the White House and all of his spineless POS!

Canada thank you for taking these actions. Despite our (disgusting) administration most Americans are with you. Keep up the good work.

The way you guys covered this us disgusting

Disgusting traitors! No 'ally' should come to US aid ever again. Canada, Mexico helpd with their fires. They turned on Europe ( thru Ukraine)& threaten Australia too.

I'm from the US, and WE don't want this either. This administration and the Man behind it disgust me in every way. I did not vote for this. I don't want this. I'm sincerely sorry that this is happening.
