The US is one of the world's greatest democracies, currently run by a group of narcissists who only care about their own interests, who only want the caos.. At this dark moment for the US, I think the world needs the American people to speak out and be true to their values.

As an American, I stand 1 million percent with the Canadian people and their government. It's a bummer as our Toronto area Canadian extended family has cancelled their visits to see us. However, we're going to arrange to visit them and meet just over the border in Sarnia this year instead. Win for Canadian tourism loss for US and Michigan.

Trump has an agenda, and it is to destroy America and the American people. Trump and Putin are in this together. Congress stop sitting on your hands and do the job you were voted to do, remove trump from power!

This will cause much damage to the economy and the American people, but it will help the billionaires enrich themselves even more. They always know how to use a good economic crisis to their advantage.

Greetings from UK, we are with you Canada. God bless you and the people who didn't vote for Trump. For those who did, who is responsible for all this un-American chaos? Utterly shameful, the world knew what a person Trump was, those of you who voted for him, you should have known better. May God help you in these trying times. Canada you have our support from the UK.

If you wanna work with the American people, then stop tarrifing ud

Trump is lying to the American people like he always has and does, the man can not tell the truth. The American people are sincerely sorry.

? the American people voted for this ? he should worry about his own country that want him to leave office? . He should talk with his citizens not American citizens

We love you ?? ?, my apologies from us American people, we dont want trump and his clowns in office. God biess you all with love and hugs from your American people. We love you Justin. ???

Hey President Donal Duck!! Hope your stupidity doesn't harm your American people as much as I am sure it's going to.

Donald Trump started a trade war with other countries and we the people have nothing to do with it. Donald Trump needs to be removed with the 25th Amendment immediately. Americans will not condone Donald Trump or Russia. We do not stand with them, we stand with our allies against the pig face dictator Donald Trump?❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The Americans people are going to raise up, Trump is going to declare marshal law, and then he's not going to step down, then you will be under a communist dictatorship.

President Trudeau-I’m an American. We live paycheck to paycheck. We didn’t vote for Trump & the GOP. The Republican Party has been doing everything it can to destroy America & the hard working people that keep it running, for years. They’ve finally succeeded. It’s an evil party, filled with vile,malicious assholes. But even though we won’t be able to afford many more things anymore, I greatly admire & appreciate you & your country standing up to Trump. If only more of our own ppl would have done that, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

I just can believe what Trump's government is doing, he's not even hiding it anymore, isolating the US and giving your country to the hands of Russia and going forward of China. Americans must do something about this, remember that a Country is governed by the people and not by few thugs! \nFrom Italy all of this is really hard to watch.

We are prepared to suffer until 'Made in America' is the global standard once again.\nThe American people are the most creative on the planet. We will prevail\nAmerica doesnt need your friendship.\nPay us/ Pay us/Pay us

Pls don’t hate the entire American people. We didn’t all vote for Trump & for those who voted & believed in him were scammed by his platform?

I’m guessing because Trump has never had any real friends in his entire life..he won’t all Americans to have any either…? the upcoming Christmas is going to be a sad one for a lot of people. America needs a champion..and soon ??

As an American I would love to put an end to this stupid trade war and get back on good terms with the Canadian people. But unfortunately I don't get to make the decisions around here.

I think people need to understand that if you look at it from a business standpoint the US constantly gets fucked in every trade and as much as most americans want to be friendly with most countries they cant when you are forced to help other people outside your country before you can help yourself

Trudeau has not been a good Prime Minister. He took the Liberal Party (historically a centrist party) further left, wasted billions of dollars during Covid and put punishing carbon taxes on Canadian citizens. Having said that, this IS his finest hour and he and most of the provincial Premiers have shown a solidarity and strength that will prove to the US that their northern neighbour is not the pushover they thought they were. It's up to the American people to rectify this situation.

The American people support our President. Trudeau will soon capitulate after his bluster.

I’ve commented another feeds, but good for you, Trudeau! As an American, I can’t express to you how disgusted I am with what’s happening. I voted against our current administration and I’m out in the streets to try to stop what’s happening. This is disgusting, good for you for fighting back! We’re going to feel a tear in the state, but our leaders need to understand that there are going to be consequenceswhen it comes to treating people like less than human.

Feel for the American people and Canadian people only one man has done this yes trump ,love from the uk ??

Inflation is to the roof, Make food and housing affordable, please people just help impeach him, he is golfing while the american people are struggling everyday.... He is just trying to pass stupid laws that keep getting blocked by courts, Come on Trump supporters try helping fix it by calling your local office and impeach him, I bet anyone else is better than Trump, we know the country needs changes but we are still the biggest economy of the world the richest country, Why do we have to feel like is normal not to have affordable food and housing?? The basics of life... All the immigrants are gone, They even left by their own will, and Some Americans left to other countries, Mexico, Europe, Asia..... What do you guys want?? Having an empty country once was the biggest economy of the world?? Is just crazy even a blind person can see he is destroying the whole country..... He is not even a good business person we all know he didn't payed taxes, he went bankrupt so many times he knows how to scam people, Saying the USA government doesn't work because he feels like it, Just travel people so you can see the difference between usa government and other governments around the world........

You never talk about 200,000 deficit Trudeau, if you want American people understand about you, US has been feeding Canadian forever Trudeau, and you also called trump dumb and In this case to be fair I don't think you are smarter then trump at all

It’s not war , it’s business, spreading the inflation so the only people that feel it aren’t the American tax payer

The American people don't want the tarrifs. I am so sorry Canada and Mexico

Good luck America with launching trade war against Canada, EU, China, MX etc..American people have NO CLUE what gonna hit them, whats coming with this relentness STUPIDITY by Trump admin..NO FIN CLUE

I hope and pray that the US military that took their solemn oath to protect the people of the United States and our constitution both foreign and abroad will stand by their oath now as American needs you very very much to protect us from the dictator in the White House so please stand on your oath

Most American People stand with Canada...they are not fools and see the truth.

Mr Trump is a criminal, who is destroying the United States of American. I love Canada and Canadian people . Washington state loves Canada. We are trying to stop Mr Trump and Mr Musk. This is not America, ????✌?

As a Trump supporter and a Trudeau detractor, it is becoming more obvious to me that this threat of tariffs has become Trumps way of bullying Canadians into becoming the 51st state. I also believe at the same time, Trudeau has finally grown a set of balls because he is on his way out. That being said, my respect for “Donald” is falling off. I have not lost respect for the American people but I have for current American policies…

The evil ?regime who is illegally destroying our rights and our relationship with our wonderful Canadian cousins is not supported by the majority of American people. We love you ??❤️❤️❤️

American people must do something!!!!\nOr we are going down together.\nPresident Trump is crazy

OMG... THE TRUTH! Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau! You ARE the voice of reason, strength, dignity and intelligence! As an American, I am sorry to the lovely people of Canada. I am mostly sorry for myself having to live through this. Keep the peace Mr. Trudeau, and thank YOU!

Isn’t it the canadian border bigger than the US with Mexico? And they got a better protection plan. Cani move to Canada? They are very nice people. I have met many canadians in cruises. And they are super. Nice people. Now i am going to another cruise prepare to apologize for the situation that me as an american do not approved.

AMERICAN PEOPLE WITH CANADIAN ??

As a Canadian, I am proud of our leadership on the tariffs. We are polite people, but we refuse to be bullied. How can Trump treat our country this way when he cozied up to dictators? Well, my siblings who are Americans won't see me for awhile. I have to stand with my country. Proud to be Canadian. We as a country are united against tyrannical behavior.

Trump has no friends! We stand with Canada! Please remember 350 million Americans only 78 million voted for Trump and I’d say 2/3 of those people regret their vote! We support you‼️

One of my favorite TV shows was border patrol Canada and I used to see how even Americans couldn't come across your border with something as small as a DUI on their record how did all of these Indians get into your country and people that cost into ours

Trump is the real enemy of the American People.

American people need to wake up ??

The Orange Chicken in the White House is about to put HARSHIPS on American people. Something he knows nothing about! Remember, he works for us and not the other way around.

That P.C. should’ve resigned\nNobody would have a problem, tariffs just because of him (Trudeau) is the dictator!!!\nLook what he done to his people during the Covid and he want to lecture us Americans. I can live with 25% tariffs.\nI feel bad for Canadians, not their government. There is no democracy.

People power always wins in the end.I feel the true American people will turn on trump and put an end to all this nonsense.as a law abiding English man I defend our friends In Canada.

Well to tell you about Trump Jesus insane as it can be the US trust him and American people want him out of office

Good job all of you Countries need to stand up for yourselves because we Americans don’t agree with this either and we stand behind you all because being a bully is never a good things and Trump and Vance is putting all Americans at risk with the moves they are playing trying to run the World.Well you know what in all reality Trump and Vance does not care about the American people only the Billionaires he is beside including Elon.So Zelensky get with Canada and other European countries and hold your own against Russia.Putin is evil and Trump is his friend period and will back Russia before he does NATO

as a Canadian, all I can say is Trump has galvanized our nation not to take up arms, but not to ever capitulate to a bully. But I especially appreciate seeing all the people from around the world are standing with us, and that also includes americans that are equally upset by their president’s behavior.

Trump just gave out 4.5 Trillion Dollars on Tax Cuts for the Rich Billionaires & 1.5 Trillion Dollars Spending Cuts from the American people's entitlements to pay the bill. Taking The People's Money

Trump and his administration are destroying America. Stand up and fight back. The American people have the power, you just have to do it.
