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

I am an American and I don't want this and I didn't vote for the orange stain. I support your efforts because this is CRAZY!

Canadian here. I'm gonna buy whatever my wallet can afford. If it's American made and is 5 cents cheaper, I am buying it over the Canadian product. By the way Canadians, why aren't you super upset about the 20% Carbon Tax increase that's going to hit us April 1st. We have our own issues that we need to deal with here first. A corrupt Federal government, a negative GDP, more immigrants that we can handle and the list can go on.

I am a Canadian. I am proud of our government. I have many American friends. My heart goes out to them. It’s gonna be a tough four years, but I stand by Canadian and I support Canadian. I am a proud Canadian and will defend my country.

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.

ugh as an American I am disgusted by how the orange blob and his cronies are ruining this country...

I stand with Canada! I am American and DT is NOT MY PRESIDENT!!! Did not vote for him. He's a psychotic felon who needs to be impeached!!!!!

I am an American and I did NOT vote for that orange blob and these really dumbass tariffs. I voted for the smart, black woman!!! I do NOT want to hear ANYONE who voted for that orange dunce complain about the high prices!!

I am a proud Canadian and have no love for Trudeau but more important, I fear for the American people. America was once the institution of democracy but has recently taken a very sharp turn and is heading towards the ideals of Russian communism. I hope that level forward thinking will soon prevail so that we can live in peace again in both of our wonderful countries.

I am American and this president does not speak for me ?

Canadian P.M. Trudeau and his government are supporting their citizens and businesses while my fascist government is throwing its citizens and businesses under the bus. I am a proud American but I support Canada. Be tough, be strong, be safe.

I am an American who represents a Canadian product line and stand with Canada and their people.

GOOD JOB CANADA!!! ❤❤❤Do NOT let our POTATO bully you. As an ACTUAL American,and a Minnesotan, I have to apologize. This thing is not how many of us think or feel. I am so sorry for the evilness of this puke.

As an American I am disgusted and ashamed. This is not the end of the madness coming out of Trump's small, unpatriotic, destructive mind. Prime Minister Trudeau and President Zelensky did not roll over and let Trump bully them. Trump should look at these men as leaders, and stop playing with Putin's peter. Trump and Vance should resign immediately.

Thank you Canada! I am American and we are suffering. This validation is so important.

Prime Minister Trudeau, as American of French-Polish ancestors I support and am grateful for our past history and friendship. May only good and a return to a higher consciousness between the USA and Canada. Thank you for your message today!

I am from Europe and I hope our leaders will have the same courage and stand to the bullies. American people, I know at least half of you dont agree with what is happening and I do hope you will do your part as we dont want to be enemies but friends.

Thank You Prime Minister Trudeau. As an American I am going to Carson City, Nevada today to protest and I WILL protest until this comes to an end one way or the other. I also will NOT be buying anything unless it is a necessity. This is what I will be doing to help. Please press like if you will be joining me. ??????

I am a American but I do not support Trump in anyway.. He is a idiot and should be thrown out off office immediately... I am sorry to Ukraine and all countries being affected by this pathetic idiot. My heart goes out to you all and I encourage you to hit back hard.

American here. Trump is confusing and needs clarity. I am happy with this Canadian response.

I am an American citizen. I did not vote for Trump. I would never vote for somebody like Trump and I’m sorry for what he’s doing to Canada but you do what you have to do we’ll survive, but somebody has to put Trump in his place.

as an american i am disgusted of our nation and its leaders. we are now the bad guys.

I am an american and I stand with canada

As an American, i am so sorry about this mess. U guys do not deserve tariffs. U have always been generious, kind, hard working, and polite. I did not vote for trump, along with many others, i knew trump with his huge ego, he would ruin everything he touches. It's gonna get a lot worse before it gets better. We should b working together, not fighting and being selfish. I hang my head low today and pray for all of us. So sorry

As an American I am absolute ashamed and disgusted at what is happening to our standing in the world thanks to DJT. And I’m so sorry at the way this is affecting our allied countries and their citizens, our friends. I’m so sorry you have to fight this fight because so many of us failed to stop the fascist oligarchy takeover at home

As an American, I am very sorry for this to Canada and Mexico. I didn't vote for this clown, I didn't vote for stupidity. This is really, really unnecessary and it's all about the f'ing rich. Our so called President is an idiot bafoon.

i am Canadian.....\n\ni am embarrassed by trump and feel for my American brothers..... i want to know what the end game is for trump - if he feels he gonna bully Canada or other nations he has grossly underestimated those that have supported the US through thick and thin...\n\nif his end game is under cutting NATO - he should review history and realize that the only country that ever requested helps officially under NATO was the US which we in Canada offered no questions asked...\n\nall i say to my Amercian brothers, his term is only 4yrs - we will welcome you back into the fold when this nonsense with Trump is over... I just hope that my politicians dont cause any nonsense and toe the line in being professional...

Even as an American, I am proud to think one American in particular watched Connor score his Overtime goal, only to realize he had lost his first stand off with Canada in such a public, humiliating way! Now to see the man his wife made the moves on address both nations with more toughness and intelligence than he ever showed has got to hurt him real bad! Well done Canada! All the love from your American fan and supporter! ??❤️??

What is going to happen with NORAD? I am Canadian and I would have never expected such nonsense coming from an American president! I truly believe that Trump wants a third world war because he thinks it would help his country’s economy. He is definitely the worst president of the USA ever!

Please Canada ….. know that most of us do not agree with dictator Trump. As a veteran and American I am truly ashamed of our Putin loving president. Just know the majority of Americans see you as our friend, don’t believe most American’s support this….. I support Canada and what ever they feel they need to do to fight MAGA and our insane president.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, what is happening in America under Trump is catastrophic! He is not only destroying our relationships with allies like Canada, he is destroying every facet of our government agencies that he can. Trump is Hitler 2.0 and as an American, I am resolved to fight back! I am not alone, 81% of us are angry at what we see happening. It feels like we are watching Pearl Harbor’s attack, only instead of this attack being from a foreign country, it’s being done by our own President whose target is America, her people and our world allies. \nWe are sorry for how he is hurting you. I don’t know how we will stop him, but I can assure you we will!

This all sucks. I am ashamed to be American. I am afraid my family and I will be homeless. Canadians don’t deserve this either. Disgraceful.

American here. I am ashamed. I hate that we leave good people behind, crap all over every country and our relationships. It’s embarrassing. I support Trump for the border but that’s all I have agreed with. Say goodbye to the USD as the world trade currency. Get ready for isolation guys we are pissing everyone away down stream. To the EU protect Ukraine it’s the majority of our fault and I am sorry but don’t let these clowns win. EU needs an army, 30% maybe 40 of every European country. I would even say 50. Good luck and again sorry we are dumbasses.

Never been less proud to be an American. Hopefully we have hit rock bottom, but I am pretty sure Trump and cronies are not done raping and pillaging the country.

The president of the US is causing war. Can someone please tell me why, other than to show a power trip. It affects the American people tax payers who are already struggling. You people who think this is ok, better tell your president to stop siding with Putin and look out for the well being of Americans. I am sick of it .

I'm American and I am so upset! Remove, Impeach Trump and Vance! Deport Musk! NOW!

I am American and I stand with Canada

What a wonderful leader. I am so ashamed of Trump and half of the American people

As an American I truly am sorry this is happening, I’m ashamed at what this administration is doing, I stand with Canada and all fellow European allies. Just know not all Americans are with this and we stand with you! It’s truly heartbreaking and the ones that didn’t vote for this person unfortunately have to go down with all of this…

I am American, and I can say God bless Canada. We need help from other countries fighting Trump and this administration because our corrupt court system and Republicans are out of control.

Thank god my state won out blue, even if just barely. I would feel so embarrassed living in a red state. Wait nevermind I still am ashamed to be an American for the first time in my entire life, even though I didn't vote for him. Glory to Canada and Slava Ukraini, can't believe I have to remind people of this

I am an American and I stand with Canada. I'm ashamed of the current American government/regime. Never voted for Trump.

I AM CANADIAN WE LOVE AND GET ALONG WITH ARE AMERICAN FRIENDS BUT YOUR LEADER MUSK SORRY I MEAN TRUMP ARE THE BAD GUYS TRUMP WILL LIE TO JUST TO SAVE HIS SOUL FOR 8 YEARS TRUMP HAS DONE NOTHING BUT LIE TO YOU AND THE WORLD FOR SOME REASON MANY AMERICANS LISTEN AND BELIEVE TRUMP MOSTLY MAGA VOTERS EVERY BODY WILL PAY THE PRICE BUT NOT TRUMP MUSK AND ALL THERE RICH FRIENDS THEY ONLY WANT TO CONTROL EVERY THING TRUMP IS ONLY ABOUT MONEY THATS ALL HE WANTS THE TIME HAS COME FOR THE WORLD TO STAND UP TO TRUMP AND THE GOP, TO THE GOP IF YOU ARE AFRAID OF TRUMP QUIT

I am American and I stand with Canada!

I am an American and I stand with Camada, Mexico, and Ukraine ?? ?? ??

What a speech! How do we get someone intelligent like this in office instead of a blathering orange idiot? My heart goes out for Ukraine and all the countries caught up in this mess. For the first time, I can say with absolute certainty that I am embarrassed to be an American

I am an American. I did not vote for Trump. He is a narcissistic bully and has alienated us from our allies while he kisses Putin’s a**. Please know not all Americans support this.

To our European friends, be careful. American hostility looks bad right now. But the bigger danger is Russia disinformation. America is hostile to Canada and Europe because Putin is using disinformation to radicalize the citizens of democratic countries. America has fallen victim and is divided today. Don't let Russia do the same thing to you. I am already noticing European also becoming radicalized slowly. Russian disinformation must stop now or Europe will fall apart the very same way. The very first step is to learn how Russian disinformation works, including Russian bots and trolls. And use social media less.

I am a sad American from Texas. I am ashamed and regretful about what our President is doing.
