Its so sad?? God help us a mad man is hurting all of the World pray everyone pray hard for Gods intervention....we love Canadian neighbors ...true Christians never act lime this never?????

This is just sad!

I live in Nashville, TN USA. I am so sorry Canada is suffering due to Trump. I do not support this move on Trump's part. I never voted for him. I have known for many years he is a dangerous narcissist. Canada is our friend. You have come to our aide in times of trouble. Our forest fires, 911 when the planes hit our twin towers. Trump wants a 4.5 Trillion dollar tax cuts for the wealthy. He sees tariffs as a way to make up some of that money alone with huge budget cuts to many of our programs. Trump is an unreasonable person who only thinks about himself. I hope he will eventually be impeached. I do not blame Canada. I blame Donald Trump and the the Republican Congress. This is a coupe going down in our country and it is sad to watch. Take good care.

This is a attack on American people not just them sad

Is kind of sad American should be lead by the smartest person in this planet

This is what a real leader looks like. From and American who is sad our elected (and not elected...) officials slip further into fascism. Love my Canadian brothers and sisters.

This is what a leader, a real leader…intelligent and savvy…looks like. When Trump looks into the mirror, this is not what is reflected back. The reflection looks like a four year old child, crying because Daddy doesn’t love him. It’s sad but we will be paying dearly for a child’s temper tantrum and very disturbing behaviors. Wake up United States, Congress, Republicans and Democrats, the entire News Media, and uninformed voters. This country, our country is at risk of going the way of all fallen dynasties…into oblivion. God help us all. Sorry dear Canada, so sorry.

Crazy to see how relations have broken down between our two countries and sad for all my great American friends and thanks for your support but anyone with half a mind could see this coming. So many Americans, even republican voters, now waking up to the cold reality of a treasonous, mad president allied to a Russian mad man, isolating the US from the rest of the world. He was basically elected to repaire the economy. Ha! Nice going you orange freak. The stock market is crashing like a Trump casino. You bankrupt two casinos and now you are doing the same to America. Oh! and I hope you're listening to Trudeau's speech, this is what a real leader sounds like. CANADA STRONG AND FREE!!!

This is bad for Americans. Very sad.

It seems like Trump is trying to suffocate Canada economically and forcing them to be the 51st state this is the only reason I feel like he would do this.... truly sad for the Canadian people sorry that my country is doing this to you

It is sad seeing two people set up America in flames. We may not have any allies left at the end of Trump's 4 years. Any American who is not appalled by Trump's actions must be out of their mind. Let us put our political differences behind us and fight against this nonsense in the Oval Office.

The president here is Putin now. So sad how our country are being destroyed by this clown

America has got a president, the likes of which have never been seen before. And that is NOT meant to be a compliment. This is NOT what any sane American could possibly want. Frankly, the pride I've always felt for my country is slipping away. All I can do is pray we avoid a war for the next 4 years and are able to repair broken relations with every country we piss off. That's just sad

As someone in the UK and a European its very sad and heart breaking that this is happening, can Americans see what is going on? The New World and the Old World is falling apart.

This is sad....Trump \ndoes not care about\nthe American people.\nTrudeau seems more\nempathetic toward \nthe American people\nthan Trump....?

This is a very sad day. Justin Trudeau you are and always be a class act and a very strong and great leader. Thanks you for your unwavering support for all of Canada.

We used to go to Crystal Beach all the time!! This is just sad.

I am in the floral industry and we’ve bought lovely Canadian grown flowers for our business I am very sad to see this tariff occur \nCanada is also a lovely country and I have visited several times I love your country I’m sorry for the crazy decisions of our government

Trump is destroying this country of 200 + years in 4 + He needs to be impeached. Russian puppet in control of the United States of America. It a sad day to be an American

Thank you to all of you taking the time to send your supportive thoughts and words.\nWe so didn't want our hand to be forced :(\nWe need to unite as North Americans, this is senseless and so divisive. Sad ?

Trump is starting a new world order, read the bible! Trump says he is a Christian wrong he is not he is the devil that walks among us! I love my country. And the USA was always our neighbor! This is sad ???

Dear dear people of Canada if any of you read any of these comments I want you to know that there are A LOT of us who are ABSOLUTELY NOT happy, about anything that this man\n who has been elected president, is doing. There are some of us who had definitely considered asking Canada for a dual citizenship. But this, I discovered is not an easy process ? we are so sad and sorry that a portion of our citizens were able to vote this man back into the White House. All we can say is, Dear Lord, please rescue us from this horrible situation ???

I served alongside Canadian military when I served in the US military. They were very tough, honorable, and outstanding professionals. I have friends and family from Canada, and they love America. This trade war is so sad and so devastating for so many Americans and Canadians. These tariffs are so stupid, it's beyond reason. Trump is treating America's best friends and allies like enemies! This is not only dishonorable behavior by a US president, it is despicable!

And they speak more than two languages this is so so sad?

Mr. Trudeau: Please DO NOT attribute this to the United States. This is Donald Trump doing this. There are zero sane and/or intelligent Americans who are for this. It's sad to hear you talk about us as if we all agree with the idiot in charge. God Bless America and God Bless Canada.

This must be baffling to many Americans hearing an articulate, well-spoken, and intelligent leader. Many Americans just assume the rest of the world is illiterate and stupid, like the masses of Americans are. The propaganda that is spewed out telling Americans how great their country is isn't reality. Sad, really. When you elect a leader like Trump, it's clear to the rest of the world that there is a shortage of intelligence in the USA.

????? I hope Americans are listening to him. There is no reason for the trade war Trump started and how Americans will suffer financially. Trudeau is correct in this only helps our enemies.. Russia and other countries who want to see us fighting with each other. What Another sad day for America again. Not feeling great.

This is so very sad. I sincerely hope the Canadians know that the American people do not want this. Most of us are appalled and desperately want this to end. We never wanted it to happen in the first place.

As a leader of a liberal government, you stood by and did nothing and here you are trying to convince us otherwise. You're a joke. This could have been prevented. Perogan Parliament was your solution only to put in your 3.0 carbon tax Carney! Who's been caught lying to the Canadian people not just once twice three times four times. What a sad representation of Canada liberals NDP. Please move out of the way. Let an election happen. Common sense conservative is what we need. Bye-bye!

It's sad that Donald Trump, the president of the United States of America need other men to make him look so-called strong! The United States of America is a Latin stock and I want the rest of the world to know that the American people did not vote for this, do not want this, and to be honest with that we do not want Donald Trump in South Africa can take Elon Musk back because we don't want him either, actually emblemas can go f*** himself! We apologize to the Ukraine president, to Mexico president to the Canadian president, and all the leaders that have been allies to the United States of america, I'm speaking on behalf of every sane American care in the United States of America please accept our apologies and don't judge us so harshly because we didn't want this at all?

He is Dumb and it not a Smart Move, This is\n Not Going to End Well What Helll is That \n Suppose to Mean The Drama if it all and still every day\nPeople Suffer ??? Very Sad Only

Trump knows this is wrong but it’s more about his presidential legacy. He wants to be a president talked about in history books for centuries like George Washington or Abraham Lincoln and with ALL of his controversial antics….I’m sad to say it…he will?

This is so sad ???

THIS is LEADERSHIP! Sad that in 6 weeks Americans forgot what that sounds like. BLESS YOU CANADA!!

What is Trump doing? This move by Trump raising the Tariffs is bad for the US people Very sad to hear what he is doing to Canada considering what Canada is trying to do to help the US. Now because of this Canada has to raise their Tariffs to survive.

I’m just so sad and that the current american administration is trying so hard to make us hate each other! \n\nWhen things get bad, in a couple of weeks or months for both of us. Trump and his media Will absolutely blame Canada, not just for trying to defend itself, but for all of it. He Will try to make americans hate us so much so he can get something out of it and thats so wrong.\n\nI have so many memories of traveling to the US and meeting great people there. I don’t want it to end and I want to remember that most americans are our friends, good people who don’t wish harm to others.\n\nI really Hope reason and good people Will prevail, I Hope je won’t bête allowed to continue down this path for long, I Hope the congress or anyone will stand up for whats right. Courage!

This speech is unbelievable impressive!!!! Wish there would be more guys like Mr Trudeau, his words got me 100% and I hope something or somebody stops this crazyness and incompetence of this so called President of the US. It is really sad and insane what‘s going on between the US and their allies. Greetings and good vibes from Germany!

What’s sad is that this speech will never appear on Fox News @foxnews

I have never seen in my entire life anything bad between our Canadian people..this is sad..very childish..

Captain fuckin chaos is trumps plan. we are outclassed for real. I took the time to review some of our most recent presidents. The conduct of this POS is really degrading to what we have tried to become. REALLY SAD no class in this crowd and whats worse they seem to be good with it. WAKE TO FUCK UP. PLEASE

As a canadian this is really sad. hopefully they dont invade and kill us all. its scary

There are no words in any language that adequately describe just how big of a moron Donald Trump is. Its genuinely terrifying how so many people support this sad excuse for a man and look to him as a leader.

AMERICA IS OVER RATED AND RACIST. IM A AFRICAN AMERICAN LIVING IN SAN FRANCISCO. ITS TRULY SAD TO SEE THIS PLACE LOOK CRAZY LIKE THIS. ALIENATING US FROM ALL OTHER COUNTRIES BECAUSE TRUMP SAYS SO

With Canada here...this is going to hurt US consumers and business more, and with inflation still an issue, this will only make things worse for us here. Where are our elected officials? Where are our Republican Senators and Congressmen? Why are they not speaking up for us the people??\nThis is a sad day for America!! Canada is our friend!!

Dear Canadians we are so sorry what this despicable president is doing! Millions of Americans are your friends. We are embarrassed and so sad what trump is doing. ?

I’m an American and I did Not vote for Trump. I knew he would destroy our country if he was elected. Many people are angry in America that Trump has launched this trade war with our Canadian friends. We love our neighbors. Many Americans do not want this. We are not happy with how things are changing for the worst in our country and in other countries. We are being ruled by an insane, thug/criminal and bully and his rich, puppet buddies. Diplomacy is not in their vocabularies. This is so sad. Stay strong Canada??

For decades, the United States has fought communism. It was one of the worst things there was and you could be accused of being. \nNow, the United States has turned its back on its allies in this struggle and instead followed the cause of the Communists. It is sad to witness.

This is such a sad situation!!

This whole situation is so sad... My utmost respect for Canada's demonstration of controlled strength in this whole ordeal ? I'll be sure to buy some Canadian maple syrup tomorrow ??????❤ Love from the Netherlands

We shouldn’t hurt a friend and neighbor. ? Sorry Canada. This is very sad.
