So embarrassed to be an American. Cheering for Canada.

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 am so embarrassed to be an American right now.

Today, I am deeply, deeply embarrassed to be an American. Trump is a clown -- the terrifying kind.

Washingtonian of 64 years here. I stand with you Canada from my blue state. I am so embarrassed right now to be an American. ?

CNN, why in the world do you waste our time telling us what we just saw and heard? Anyway, I'm very nervous, if not down right scared, to watch the United States devolve into a fascist regime. It feels terrorists now hold our government hostage. For the first time in my life, I'm embarrassed and ashamed to be an American.

I am an American, but my Ancestors were French Canadians who immigrated to Montpelier, Vermont at the turn of the 20th century. Your support in wanting the best for both of our countries makes me so proud of my roots. Charlie Angus as well as Justin Trudeau have integrity and are willing and able to fight for what is right. Please know you are a highly respected nation by most of the people in this country. I have always been so proud of my country, but am now so embarrassed and deeply troubled. Please pray for your neighbors and the democracy of our Republic. I am related to Louis Cyr, Canadian Strongman. Don't give up on us. God be with both of our nations!

So we'll thought out and spoken. I have never been so embarrassed to be an American. I truly hope someone puts Donald Chump out of OUR misery SOON!!

I am embarrassed to say I am an American right now! That Nazi orange guy and his side kick meme are ruining America! He needs to be impeached! I am so disgusted with what is going on right now and how all of his little minions are following right along behind him kissing the ring!!

It’s not about fentanyl at all. Donald Trump is just using that as an excuse. He is lying to the American people like he always does. Don’t back down Canada ?? do your worst!! Trump voters need to feel the pain to realize what they have voted for. I’m embarrassed and disgusted with America right now and who we are becoming. Be proud of your nation and your leadership Canada!! America isn’t and can’t be as long as DT is in office.

Dear Canada...I am so embarrassed (and worried) to be an American. Trump and his cronies don't speak for me or my family. I'm really afraid of where our country is heading.

So embarrassed to be an American! I didn’t vote for Trump! I knew his Presidency AGAIN ….. would be a shit show! So sorry for Canada! Retired! Can’t afford food now! Six months from now everything will be unaffordable! Thank the maga idiots for voting him in! Personally I think he and Elon have rigged it!

I am embarrassed to be an American!!

I'm so embarrassed to be American. I'm angry at the millions who were dumb enough to vote even one time for a FOOLISH con man who's compromised by Russia and can't even read. I'm extremely proud of Canada and Trudeau. I hope somehow the president of the US and his echo chamber are removed from office. We'll never make it 4 years.

God , I am EMBARRASSED to be an American!!!

I am an American. I apologize to Canada. I am ashamed and embarrassed to be an American at this time. Millions of us didn't vote for this criminal and traitor.

American here. I am profoundly embarrassed for my country. Trump had already proven himself to be the worst president this country has ever had, yet 75 million Americans were still stupid enough to vote for him AGAIN! Trump should be rotting in prison right now.

I’m embarrassed to be an American. I have no president! There is a dictator in action now and he will destroy our country. Mental illness is obvious!

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.

Canada, Mexico, Germany and other countries who are getting caught up in the orange turd of a president's mess. He's not my president and just so you know I've never voted for him. I'm so embarrassed to be an American right now... I promise 50% of U.S voters are idiots the other half of us understand economics, the importance of allies and we're generally nice/smart people. #trumpsucks

I've never been so embarrassed to be an American - How this country elects a giant, bloated, orange, oompa loompa, whale carcass, who plays golf everyday and acts like a child on foreign policy . . . . . AGAIN !!!!, is beyond any reasonable persons' comprehension. Canada, please know that we are, in now way, behind this dictatorship take over of our country by the cartoon character who happens to be in the White House at present. The non-idiots in this country are so sorry ?

Mr Trudeau, may my family and friends come live in Canada? None of us voted for this big, fat, orange, narcissistic a**hole and his psychotic sycophants. Trump is only going to double down on all the things that piss him off. Look, if Trump thought he could make a dollar off fentanyl, he wouldn’t be against it - it’s just that he doesn’t get any of the cuts. And by the way, I don’t think I’ve ever heard “smart” and “Trump” uttered in the same sentence without “not” being inserted between them. Trump is an idiot. I have visited Canada and it’s beautiful, unspoiled, and intelligently ran. PLEASE let us come! Most of us stand firmly with Canada, Mexico, and Europe. I have never been so embarrassed to be an American in 67 years of life.

I have NEVER been so embarrassed to be an American. Hell is about to descend on this country. And Trumpsters, bend over and take every bit of it, you deserve it. Unfortunately the other half of the country with a brain will have to take it as well. Imbeciles. Willful ignorance is a hell of a thing.

Utterly embarrassed to be an American. I hope Canada shuts down EVERYTHING coming and going to and from Canada. It will hurt me and my fellow citizens, but there is simply nothing left that can make the point like it needs to be made.

Good for you Canada, I am embarrassed to be an American, it is so sad. I love my country and have to watch it being torn to shreds.

I am embarrassed to be an American right now

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

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.

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. ?

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.

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

We are with you . Embarrassed to be an American.

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

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!!!!!!!

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.

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 ??

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

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.

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

I have never been more embarrassed to be American and if I had the resources I would move to Canada.

I'm an American, embarrassed of the actions and behavior of my fellow Americans and their leaders of the MAGA party/cult. I sincerely apologize for these idiots I seem to be surrounded by.

Canada ?? is a friend to American people ! Donald Trump is being a fool, Elon musk seems to be secret president ? I am embarrassed by our current leaders !

I have never been so embarrassed to be an American. Its heart breaking that we allowed this to happen even with all the warning signs. I have protested, attended town halls, emsiled all my state representatives and every attempt can only have power if the people we elected go to bat for us. They are not doing so. Americans who know this is absolutely unacceptable will scream as loud as we can to stop this dictator but we need to help of the higher ups. Please...for the love of God, get this man out of the seat of power until it is too late. Maybe it already is.

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

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

Can i please come live in Canada. I am embarrassed to be american after how he treated zelensky and kissing putins butt. I will move in a heart beat.

I've never been embarrassed to be an American before, now I am. Just please remember a large majority of Americans DID NOT vote for him, a miniscule majority of people who voted, voted for him ( less than 1% of our population voted for him over Kamala )

So embarrassed to be an American right now….

The question was intended to embarrass him as an Arab but he embarrassed the reporter by explaining to her that Palestine belongs to the Palestinian people and they do not want to leave it. Instead we will support them in their actions and ask the illegal oppression of Israel and American forces to be lifted from them.
