Dear Trudeau, most Americans don’t want this either. This crazy egomaniac needs to feel power at the expense of the American people. I’m sorry Canada.

I'm sorry Canada! Lots of Americans hate whats going on too! Trump is a monster of a human.

It's not all of us Americans that agree with most of this s_ _ t, I'm very sorry about all this!

This American doesn't support Trump.'s insane policies. I'm sorry Canada & Mexico.

Ashamed to be an American. I'm sorry, Canada (and for that matter, the rest of the world).

As an American I say do what you need to do. I stand with Canada. I'm so sorry this is happening ?

American citizen here -- I stand by everything PM Trudeau just said 100%. (am so embarrassed I wish I could slink out of here) Americans will rightly suffer for the actions of dumb@$$ tRump. I'm sorry that the suffering extends across our borders. Stay firm Canada!!

I won't travel to the US. And I'm doing my best to boycott American goods. Sorry, American cousins, but we have to protect ourselves.

As an American and live near the border of Canada ?? in western ny ? I’m sorry to the people of Canada ? trump is the worse to take office our country. And he lied to our people

D: I'm sorry to be an American

I'm sorry, that's not anti-Americanism. Word choices matter, and this was intentional. Think what you will of Trudeau or Canada, the reason people are turning away from networks like CNN is at least in part because you continue to pay people who are incentivized to frame everything as pro-America or anti-America. Some better choices might have included: frustrated, honest, distressed, resolved. Nothing Trudeau said was in any way anti-American.

American here who voted against Trump in 2020 and 2024… I’m so sorry on behalf of my country. Dark times are truly ahead.

American here…. Aaaaaagghhh!!!! It’s insanity here!!!! ??I’m so sorry to Canada, Mexico, Ukraine, Europe ?

Trudeau is a leader. Trump is a follower of Putin. I'm so sorry, Canada. This isn't what most Americans want. Trump is a shame, and he won't last.

As an american... I'm so very sorry ? Trump is a criminal and a fascist. I'm so sorry.

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.

I'm an American. And I stand with Ukraine, Canada, Mexico, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and all of our European allies. I do not stand with my president and my government. I'm sorry Canada. I didn't vote for this.

This American wants to say: I'm sorry. Most of us do not want this madness or any bad blood with our neighbors to the north...or even the south. But, many Americans voted for the Orange dipsh*t so...again, most of us are sorry about this.

This is disgusting!!!!!! I'm so sorry that the American people voted for this madness

Americans don’t want any kind of war with our Allies! I’m in Washington state, and we love Canada ?? I’m so so sorry that the orange stain has done this to you and ourselves. ?????wow, what you did at your border is amazing! Our current leaders, in control,have no honor!?????

I’m so sorry ?. This is a Trump thing. Most Americans don’t want this bullshit either. You watch Mr. Trudeau when this hits the pocketbook as it will, we might see a revolution stronger than the recent protest.

CNN = pro Canada Anti American .....makes me sick ....Canadian = someone punches them in the face and they say I'm sorry .

Thank you, Mr. Trudeau, many of us Americans hate this too! I appreciate you distinguishing your relationship with the American people (those of us who are not for this), from the cruel leadership in the US who are imposing these harmful policies. I admire your leadership. You are a true, dignified, level headed leader. I wish we had that here in the US. I'm so sorry for what my government is doing to Canada?

We Americans understand this dilemma and support your right to fight back. We don't want this, but Trump and his sycophants do not care about us. I'm sorry this is unfolding.?

From Spain, all my respect to Canada. I'm sorry for the americans who didnt vote for that mad evil traitor.

I'm so sorry that our dictator is doing this. Please know that most Americans do not support this or him.

Sorry to our closest ally. Trump, the dumbest president in American history, doesn't represent majority of americans. He is a bully and a coward. I'm sure a lot of his supporters have regretted they voted for him. They are feeling the pain and perhaps lost their jobs, too. This moron is 100 percent lunatic.

As a Dutch European who was going on holiday to the States which i cancelled and re-booked to Canada ( and so did my travel companions ) i do stand with Canada and would rather spend my money there now ( the least i can do for what they did for us, no matter how little, every little bit helps ) Sorry to the good Americans, but i will not spend one cent in America or on\n American goods for as long as that Dictator is in power. I'm pretty sure Europe welcomes you with open arms! ❤️??????

American here. I'm sorry!

I can't stand Trump. He is hurting us all. As an American, I'm embarrassed. I'm so sorry to Canada and Mexico. This is not my doing. But I stand behind YOU and Not the orange man-baby!

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.

HI FROM CANADA. WE ARE NOW AT WAR WITH THE USA... SORRY ABOUT THAT. YOU ARE NOT WELCOME. GO AWAY, STAY AWAY UNTIL YOU JAIL THE NAZI RUNNING YOUR GOVERNMENT... BUT IT'S TOO LATE. YOU WERE TOO LAZY TO ACT. YOU ARE NOW A NAZI STATE AND THERE WILL BE NO MORE ELECTIONS. AND YOU THINK I'M KIDDING. NOPE... AMERICANS GET OUT OF CANADA, STAY OUT. YOU ARE NOT WELCOME. LGBTQ REFUGEES FROM THE NAZI REGIME WILL BE TAKEN IN.

As an American, I'm sorry for what Canadians will suffer from these tariffs. I'm NOT sorry for what we Americans will suffer. The pain of consequences is the only path toward positive change. Wishing Canadians the best as we all weather this storm.

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

We have half of the American people to thank for this, as they voted for this bafoon back into the White House!!! I’m sorry Canada that you’re having to deal with this…a lot of us Americans don’t deserve this either, but apparently this is what the majority of Americans want. I’ve never been so ashamed of my own country before. Today, this year, this era is a sad time for American’s history.

Trudeau is a great leader. I’m so sorry for what our loser Trump is doing. I do want Canada to know that Americans are feeling all the bad things that Trump is doing. We cannot let this continue.

I’m an American woman standing with Canadian people. I am so sorry this is happening ? why would Americans vote for him?

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’m an American that voted for trump. I’m sorry everyone.

American here. Not all of us are with him. A lot of Americans did not want him. We don’t back trump. We are just as disgusted and find him just as abhorrent. He does not represent American values. I stand with Canada and Ukraine and all of the countries he pulled aid from. I’m sorry.

I, an American citizen, stand with Canada. I'm sorry so many Americans think Trump was going to be such a great thing. He's not. He is VERY stupid and only cares how he looks on TV. IMPEACH Trump

Really bad policies that are destroying America. As a Canadian I’m so very sorry to my American friends, family and all patriots, that my alleged gov has allowed & encouraged, both into and out of Canada the most evil & vile ppl on Earth. They belong in neither country and must be permanently expelled & borders locked up tightly c/w only legal crossings at legal border crossings. So sorry America, we love ya’ll.

I’m sorry, but if you can’t see how this is a problem for our country, then you need your head examined. Because what nobody tell you, American citizens were evicted from their homes, evicted, no warning, no severance package, nothing. Why. Because we have to house these people. Now you tell me. You go home and there is an eviction notice. Your dumbfounded as to why so you go ask. It’s so we can house illegal immigrants. Is that ok. You have no problem with them coming here, so I bet you have no problem with Americans being evicted so we can house these people, right?

Goes to show you how many South American countries are run by dictators and the average citizen I'm not talking about the criminal element who could also be women not just men are sent here. As I said before a man and his wife with children who want to come here legally to bring their trades with them and pursue the American dream and have their children enrolled in American schools work and whatever industry that they have experience with or schooling themselves are welcome. The individual very leery about just the men and just women coming across the border without family there's a subliminal message there very dangerous sorry to say and this is coming from a legally registered independent voter neither Republican nor Democrat

American citizen here. To all my Canadian comrades, I'm truly sorry that we have such a non sensible person as President. As true allies and partners of the US that you all beautiful and wonderful people have been since the dawn of time, it's embarrassing for me to hear of these horrid tactics from our current administration.

Sorry Canada, I'm American like the 50 percent of Americans who can't stand Donald Vonshiztenpants. Canada is a Beautiful country, I've visited often.

I’m sorry. I didn’t vote for this. A huge number of Americans feel extremely helpless right now.

Sorry, guys, but I do agree with Donald Trump. We need to do something about everyone coming into our country. Illegals into our country and I did say. Illegals, we should be supportive and even whenever they come into our country. They should have a job they should pay for their own food. Nobody gave me a handout. I want to know why I have to pay for them a hand out. American people are sick of it are just d*** right sick of I say send them back. Where they belong, we can't afford to get our own homeless off. The sthree we should be working on earth. Not anybody else but us. And I'm talking about no other country. We should be working on getting our homeless office. Detroit built more housing for our homeless people. Are homeless are poor people that need jobs too

Stop whitewashing your wording. They are not undocumented migrants. They are illegal immigrants! I'm sorry that words hurt you guys and possibly the majority of your viewers but that's the truth! If someone wants to come here, I have no problem with that nor do the majority of Americans. This is an amazing nation. However, there are many legal ways to do it. I've served with several fellow Marines that did it the right (legal) way. And let's not forget, it's not only people from Central and South America that are pouring across that southern border. We've caught countless people on the terrorist watch list including people from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the like pouring across the border because they know how easy it is. Everyone is just mad because we finally have leadership that is doing something about it. And apparently, the libtards are either simply naive enough to think bad people would not come across the border and all those caravans are full of innocent women and children or they are trying to bring about the downfall and collapse of the United States. This is all simply ridiculous!
