Hey Canada, Californian here. Sorry my dumb fellow americans voted for this A hole.\n\nWe're gonna be okay, in 4 years. If he extends his presidency beyond that, i have a plan for that along with many others. Wish us luck

Thank you for separating the american people from the very small percentage of those in the White House administration behind these actions. Most americans are not in agreement with any of what's coming out of the president's office. He's lost sight of what American really stands for - and that his role, along, with those of his administration, are paid servants. Obligated to SERVE every citizen of their country - including representing and fulfilling the wishes of the people they serve. Whether they like all the people or agree with the needs of all the people. The people of our country don't want what's happening with Canada, Mexico or Ukraine. Or Russia for that matter. As an American i apologize. God bless us all!

From the Midwest U.S, I support Canada and Mexico! We don’t want tariffs. We want ALL our economy to prosper! Not to crash them down! Otherwise, if we place tariffs, ALL OF US will be hurt. ALL COUNTRIES. ALL citizens regardless of income levels will feel it. \n\nRising egg prices? Just tonight (as of the evening of March 4) he blames it on Biden and the administration when he’s not even the president! I cannot believe we voted for a president who points fingers rather than taking accountability. \n\nAs an American, I only want to apologize to the world for voting for this bully (I never voted for him, but he won anyways.) I wish you all the best.

As an American, First, I am embarrassed by our petulant child of a President who has NO IDEA what he is doing. Canada…despite what you hear, we love you. Our incompetent government is our biggest problem and I am truly sorry for The Worst President we have ever had and his idiocy toward you. He’s our National Embarrassment. Canada we love you. ❤ I truly wish Trudeau was our President! A true pro with class and decorum.

I wish I wasn't American. I wish I lived in Canada.. We stand with you. So sorry we have toddler as our President..

As an American I wish Trudeau was our president. Take notes Donald. This is true leadership here. No billionaire pulling his strings.

Canada, the American people stand with you. Personally I wish that Justin Trudeau was our president! Although I have to disagree with you, Trump is not at all a smart man. In fact he is the exact opposite. He is an imbecile! Undoubtedly, he is the worse thing that has ever happened to to the United States! The people of America needs to get rid of Trump!\n\nBut thank you, Justin Trudeau, for standing up for Canada and all of your reactions is just! Continue to defend your country. You are doing an outstanding job!

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.

From Massachusetts. We do not want this either!!!!!?. We stand with Canada more than our own government….meaning this President who got elected with less than a majority vote. Even his supporters are raging against him. I wish that there was something more that we could do as individual American citizens.?? I will pray for this insanity to end.

As an American…I wish this man was our President! ?

The majority of the American people are with you Canada, we didn't want this either. This doesn't have anything to do with drugs. The problem we have is President Shit-for-Brains doesn't understand that tariffs are a mistake because he's a moron who also appears to be a Russian asset, always doing Russia's will regardless of how it will effect the USA.\n\nTrudeau knows how to be a leader. I wish he were OUR president.

Canada and Mexico have always been family, as well as UK and Europe close friends and allies. Trump is by far the daftest president in the history of our nation, he’s destroying our economy and the well-being of the American people. All he’s doing is making the rich richer and getting rid of the middle class making families struggle. \n\nSo much for the equality and prosperity of our country. \n\nI really wish President Zelenskyy would not sign over any mineral l rights to the Ukraine. I felt embarrassed and completely appalled as an American for the treatment that he received. \n\nThe duped people who voted for Trump are now getting what they deserve. This presidency is not America first. \nThis presidency is about Trump and his friends changing all the laws for their own benefit lining their pockets.

I wish this man was the American president. My American government is scaring me and our lives are falling apart. I stand with Canada and the rest of the sane world. I hope this changes soon..

I wish he were my president. As an American, I’m scared. Last time I felt like this was 9/11. It’s a different fear but it’s growing daily. The big orange one does nothing but instill fear and anger. I miss a president that speaks to the people, gives them hope and encouragement. Hurts my heart

American here, wish I could be proud of my president but he is disgraceful. Do what you need to make Trump go away.

Well said Prime Minister Trudeau. Wish the US President had a brain and could understand your sensible, honest words. I am American. Our President and Vice President have been bought by Putin and Musk. I am ashamed.

American here. Wish my president could give such a professional speech like this. No name calling. No lies. No blaming others.

As an American...I wish we had PM Trudeau as our President

American here and I wish we had you as a president ❤ I can’t believe what is happening

I wish Trudeau was our president...from a heartbroken American..

I'm an American, and I'm embarrassed by our a-hole president. Please feel free to dump on him as much and often as you wish has so many of us are behind.

I wish our American President looked and talked like this!!!

Prime Minister Trudeau, I am sorry President Trump's irresponsible ideas and choices affect so many negatively which includes you and your Canadians, and me and my Americans, as well as so many other. He should be ashamed of himself, but we all know that a narcissist feels only joy in hurting others. I worry every day, not just for the people of the United States of America, but also for all people around the world affected by this horrible man. I stand up and speak up with the hope that it makes a difference. Those I know are doing the same. I have heard so many republicans that voted for Trump, so very sorry now that they did. His irrational behavior is worthy of impeachment. Your speech, Prime Minister Trudeau, was honest and sincere and I appreciate your being so candid. I wish President Trump and Vice President Vance had the character you have. Best Wishes to you and the People of Canada, we have been friends for a long time and I would love to continue this friendship. Remember there are Americans here that appreciate you and your country.

As an American, We could only wish to have such a man as our President, leading our country.

His answer against Trump’s tariffs is directly harming Canada citizens more so than Americans. \n\nThis tick isn’t on a moral high ground. I WISH this motherfucker would keep escalating this with a president that’ll gladly turn Canada into a fuckin theme park.

Mr. Trudeau, I wish you could be the American president. You have more of what we need than trump ever thought about. To my Canadian friends, my apologies. My country has entered an embarrassing period of time. We will resolve this, but it will take time. In the meantime, please know that the problem is our president, not our people.

It’s not your fault Trudeau. We know it’s trump’s fault. He’s a rat bastard and I didn’t vote for him. You take care of your good people. As an American citizen, I wish you were our president! I stand with Canada ?? and Ukraine!??

As an American, I wish we had a REAL PRESIDENT, and not a three-year old having tantrums.

As a 60 year old American, I wish I had a President as erudite and intelligent as President Trudeau.\n Sadly, America ended up with a stooge.\nGo Canada.

I wish we had a president like him. Instead of the American hating idiot we have. Our election was a scam.

I’m a US citizen who is appalled that Trump is our president.\n\nTrump is doing great harm to the US.\n\nTrump’s street-thug bullying tactics are egregiously inappropriate for the office of the President of the United States. \n\nTrump’s endorsement of a murderous Russian dictator does not reflect American values, and does not represent our interests. \n\nTurning against our allies does NOT benefit the US. \n\nTo Canada citizens: I hope you can see from the comments that most US citizens wish to be good neighbors!

I am embarrassed as an American. Trump and his cronies have falsely promised their constituents that he is for the people. NO he never was FOR the people, he is for himself. Our ignorant Americans believed his BS and now they will suffer for their stupidity. President Trudeau you are a gentleman and a brilliant human being. I wish I could vote you back in. Trump has to be taken down.

I wish Trudeau was our president. I hate what is happening in the U.S. because of Trump and his minions. Putin must be gleeful at the destruction of the U.S. and all of the favors that Trump has given to him. The American people do not want this horror show that Trump and Musk has orchestrated. The Trump cult is bringing the downfall of America in the world. We are no longer the 'home of the free and the brave', and Trump is no longer the 'leader of the free world'. America will diminish and become a small, petty, stupid, country. I am glad for Trudeau, and Micron, and the UK and all of the democratic countries and people. I feel horrible for what is happening to Ukraine because of Trump. Mr. Trudeau, you are a fine and wonderful person and head of your country. I wish that you could help us out of this madness. :(

I am a patriotic American. I apologize to Canada for what Trump has put Canada through and what he intends to do to Canada in the future. All I can say is that there are many people who wish Trump out of office and are doing what they can to achieve that end. So sorry Canada. I hope one day you can forgive Americans for allowing this monster to seize and exercise the power of the presidency.

Prime Minister, I wish you weren’t resigning. I would be proud if you were my president, not the one who has acted so viciously without thinking of the consequences which hurts Americans as well. The only person who will benefit from this will be Vladimir Putin.

American here and wish our president was as sensible as Trudeau, problem is Trump is too stupid and Elon is too rich and controlling the U.S. which makes running this country a total disaster!!!\n\nImpeachment is not a suggestion it’s needed and needed NOW!!!! Republicans in elected positions step up and quit letting this country get dragged down.

Mad respect for Trudeau! As an American, I wish we had a president like you. Can you buy the US? ?

Trudeau for US President, lol. Great way to stand up for your country. Wish Donald would do the same. American’s standing with Canada.

Dear Mr. President Trump, would you please reconsider welcoming these wonderful fellow North Americans living in these TEN Canadian Provinces, not as the 51st State, but as TEN States, when being invited into the United States of America? These Canadian Provinces being Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan.\n\nSuggested is to make Canada’s existing 10 Provinces into 10 individual United States States. Canada will benefit with a strong 10 State influence within 60 United States governance affairs. Benefits are 10 more States on a balanced display welcomed as 10 white stars within the beautiful United States of America field of Blue of our Flag. Other countries will see North America’s Great Power when 60 glorious States, when combined, and working well together, communicating best when communicating with each other only in English, when English is the United States official National Language. No more Government waste of having multi language signage. Another geologically considered North American country, Greenland, with 4 more territories may wish to add four more States, as well as the many existing United States Territories across the globe may desire Statehood. The Sun will never set on the United States. As for 10 Canadian States, think of the  benefit of 20 mostly conservative thinking U.S. Senators which equals a larger majority of conservative votes in the larger U.S. Senate when composed of 120 Senatorial political leaders. 120 U.S. Senators keep the Filibuster procedure balanced. 10 Canadian Provinces converted into 10 United States States equals many more conservative House of Representatives votes enhancing the conservative majority of political leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives. So many good reasons why Canada’s 10 Provinces, with a mostly conservative thinking population of thinkers, should be transformed into 10 new United States States, not just one United States. Yes....10 more States that is the helpful way forward for the United States to have a very dominant conservative thinking population of United States Congress Political Leaders, resulting in a long term more stable United States Congress representing 60 United States, thinking more conservative, thinking more logical, thinking more common sense thoughts, thinking more capitalist job creation thoughts, thinking more tax cut thoughts, are just some of the benefits of having 60 United States of America States on  display, and functioning efficiently going forward for all the World’s Countries to marvel at.

Bravo President Trudeau! We Americans are screwed! Trump doesn't have it in him to admit he has BAD ideas or is wrong. Canada we Americans wish our President spoke the way yours did today. Please pray for the United States. We are facing the enemy within.

AMERICANS WISH THEY HAD A PRESIDENT LIKE THIS

Canadian here- I hate Trudeau just as much as most Canadians, and as it seems most Republican Americans do as well. But I fully stand behind him at this hour. He might have shit the bed for most Canadians during his time as PM, but when it mattered he has stood up for Canada. Review the facts and educate yourself on the current situation between CAN and the US. I will be the first to admit, Canada has not done enough in terms of its own security and military, but these failures should not be the decay in our friendship as nations. The US DOES NOT subsidize Canada, it DOES NOT give money to Canada. In simple terms- the larger country, with the largest economy in the world (USA) buys more from its Northern brother, which produces vast amounts of natural resources which the larger southern country requires. As for the booing seen at most recent sports events in Canada, that is directed at the President, not the average American. I myself would never boo a national anthem, an anthem that millions have sacrificed to protect and defend. But I understand the pain and anger that is coming from my country. We have always been allies, friends, and to most even family. I do hope that in the future our relationship can heal and move forward but the current actions being taken by the American admistration are horrendus and upsetting to most of the world outside of the US. I wish us all the best in the future, be nice to one another, and always remember that the US and Canada have fought, spilled blood, and died alongside one another in the fight for democracy and freedom around the world.

Sane New Yorkers must, I say must, unite, rise up and take the strongest stand against their politicians and dim-whit voters! If they're in agreement with this insanity & rebellion then cut this state off from all federal funding and let New Yorkers pay for these illegals all by themselves. I don't want my tax dollars paying for any illegals. Especially when there are so many Americans living on the streets and/or not even getting by with this failed & fraudulent economy the Democrat Party has given us. Democrat voters aren't being kind and compassionate by wanting them here. They are enabling these people and by doing so, preventing them from growing up and raising their consciousness into a higher state of mind. By wanting to protect criminals, pedophiles, rapists, murderers, thieves, violence and rebellion from being deported, they're displaying for America they're psychology/consciousness of a death wish. This is a psychology of death and failure!!! The Democrat politicians and voters didn't vote for President Trump's agenda but the vast majority of We the People most certainly did. Chuck Shumer, Maxine Waters, all Democrat politicians and Democrat voters, YES, WE DID AND WE WON THE BATTLE!!! \n\nThese illegals are not weak and needing help. They're now uniting, protesting and waving their country's flag against their deportation, which they absolutely have no rights in America to do so. They have no rights here!!! That takes gall, audacity showing their rebellion against American voters and an unreality in their third world psychology to believe they do. We have been forced to deal with this abusive, violent third world psychology for far too long. They have a strong willpower so return to their country, unite there, raise their flags there and rebel against their corrupt government! They don't belong here as they don't have America's vibration. They just continue demanding and taking America by violent force. They are using and abusing tax payers' money and their goal of turning America into their violent third world hellishness must stop now! When they want to become part of America, get in line and make application in our legal immigration program. These illegals do not rate higher than those who are coming here legally!!!

My fellow Americans pay more for food, gas and housing. No affordable healthcare. I got the ? and will watch how much more our new president Mr Trump can fool the Americans. I wish Mr Trump much luck!

If you wish to immigrate to the U.S., you will need to obtain citizenship funds, housing funds, and other things to get you in line with the law.\n A country has its own rules, and to do as one pleases, even if it means breaking the rules of the country, is frowned upon by the people of that country.\n The problem is that Japan and other countries, such as France, are experiencing a number of tragic events due to the immigration problem.\n Recently, a 10 year old Japanese girl was raped by a 30 year old Kurdish man, and Japanese citizens are living in anxiety everyday. Like the U.S., every country is now very annoyed by all the immigrants! Immigrants impose their own culture. Why is it that these immigrants are allowed to stay in the other country, and yet they are not allowed to care about the culture and rules of the other country ? If that is the case, it would be better for both parties to live in the country of their birth from the beginning for the sake of peace.\n\n＊most japanes ppl said American people do the right thing.you chose right person for president! now japanes need facing their own problem,

Why do South Americans don’t use this type of energy and take back the beautiful country from their weak president? I just don’t understand. In every country, the people stand and fight for it. Many died, many survived. Use this energy and take your country back. I know they have the drug lords, but doesn’t every country? I’m not saying don’t let them come into the US, but just wish they would use this same energy and dedication to take back their beautiful lands from the corrupt leaders.

Of the democrat presidential candidates, those who are not Methuselahs are full-blown morons or towering mediocrities, and some are all three. Joe is teetering, and every time Kamala sees Joe is going on a trip, literally, where he has to climb steps into Air Force 1, she hustles down to the Oval Office and starts measuring the drapes. No one wishes ill on the President, except all the democrat contenders in secret. He just keeps going and going, incoherently and corruptly, but he refuses to stop and you know his wife, whose doctorate you should take very seriously because it is super impressive according to her, will Weekend at Bernie’s her desiccated husk of a hubby through Inauguration Day 2029 if she has to to stay parked at 1600 PA.\n\nIt's got to be frustrating for Kamala, who knows that her path to the presidency lies through a cruel twist of fate. But gay Pete Buttigieg is there too, circling, calculating, unaccountable, hoping to take a shot if the path gets cleared by destiny. And then there’s Gavin Newsom, who hopes to spread California’s promise of a hobo squatting on every porch to all of America. Hillary, who is turning 137, might get in – I hear it’s her turn. And people worry about Michelle being unbeatable if she decides to leave her shorefront, climate change-defying mansion to run, and that concern is proof that Americans have lost their faith in their fellow Americans.\n\nAnd we should lose our faith in our fellow Americans because there are a substantial number of them who will vote for any mutant, commie, weirdo, or clinical imbecile with a (D) after his/her/their/xir name. They elected John Fetterman knowing he was a barely cognizant ogre and then were stunned that he stopped doing the senator thing about a month in exactly as they were warned. But hey, he was open to killing babies and that’s what mattered !@!@!

I’m so sorry for all of you precious people of Canada! You’re our neighbors (the state of Tennessee USA here) and we see you’re having to put up with everything the Democrats want to do to us if they come into power this November. (The only way they could do that is voter fraud, which is exactly what happened in what we call the mid-term elections in November 2018, when some House of Representatives and Senate seats come open in the two-year cycle halfway thru the Presidential elections - that’s how they won the House back) \n\nThat poor displaced family, though. Bless them; officials need to get to the bottom of where they’ve been, where they actually have citizenship, and attend to them properly and GET CANADIANS HOME! President Trump needs to go up there and jerk a knot in Mr. Trudeau’s rear end. (That’s an old country Southern saying; don’t overthink it please!?? We finally have a President who may be a little bristly, but he loves America and Americans and he is working hard for us!)\n\nBut seriously, wish you much success and although I can’t monetarily, our greatest weapon is prayer and my armor is on (Ephesians 6)!!! Keean, you’ve stepped up to the plate because you love Canada and want to do what’s right by her! You’re doing a wonderful job - “absolutely fantastic” as my YouTube friend Mentour pilot would say. So we hope the situation gets resolved quickly, because this virus is taking its toll on everyone in more ways than one, and in ways we’ve not even seen yet and have no way to predict. Keep looking up though! And make sure you belong to Jesus Christ . Amen!

President Trump had to say:For Muslim Immigrants\n\n“IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT.. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Americans.\n\n“This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories, by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.\n\n“We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!\n\n“Most Americans believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools.\n\n“If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.\n\nWe will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.
