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 am in tears every single day watching this administration do what they're doing....? I'm an American and I am proud of our country but I am not proud of what's happening right now In this administration? It's absolutely horrific undemocratic cruel Idiotic stupid ridiculous Narcissistic..... I am in tears watching this I can't believe this is happening?

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.

???????? here,If there’s one thing I learned in university as a political science graduate, and I did take a US government course was part of my degree. I thought that there were so many checks and balances on the president of the United States, but seeing his actions, I am very confused at how he is not being questioned for his mental stability and his actual ability to lead your country I mean to what degree is the definition of treason not applied I don’t understand how the president of the United States can now align himself with Russia and destroy allegiances with friends and allies This is not seen as treason?\nTo my American readers… just remember the United States knows no better friend than Canada….. so does any of this make sense? How is it that we are the enemy now and your president wants to support Russia is he a Russian operative? How are you not removing this guy from power where are all these checks and balances that you always bragged about through my entire life ?

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!

I am an American and I did not vote for Trump! This is ridiculous! I apologize to Canada on behalf of us Americans who did not ask for this. We support you Canada.

As a senior American, I am with Canada and what they are doing. We have a singular problem, Donald Trump. The secondary problem is Republicans \nHave no spine. We all pay for this idiot in our White House.

As an American I am with Canada and Truedau told it as it is !!! trump is an idiot, a bully a moron and only in this for his personal gain !!!! selfish B@$t@rd at the American and Canadian expense !!! !

You and your country are admirable! I am an American and I completely oppose what the Trump administration is doing with these tariffs. I will be buying Canadian and Mexican whenever possible, and have changed my European vacation plans to spend my vacation dollars in Canada this spring and in Mexico this fall.\n\nI am impressed with the alternative trade agreements Canada is developing. Too many Americans are willfully ignorant and do not understand the negative effects that tariffs and trade wars have. They will learn soon enough!

OH JUSTIN YOU ARE SO RIGHT THIS IS VERY PERSONAL YOU MADE FUN OF HIM AND HE IS TAKING REVENGE, BUT PRESIDENT CHUMP OBVIOUSLY CANNOT SEPERATE BUSINESS FROM HIS PERSONAL PROBLEMS, THE WHOLE WORLD DOES NOT LIKE THIS GUY WHEN HIS TERM IN OFFICE IS OVER THE ONLY TWO PLACES THAT HE WOULD BE WELCOME IN IS HIS HOME COUNTRY AND RUSSIA AND I AM NOT SO SURE ABOUT RUSSIA I WROTE ON YOUTUBE BEFORE THAT THIS GUY IS SINKING THE AMERICAN FLEET FAST AND MORE THOROUGHLY THAN THE JAPANESE DID AT PEARL HAROR MAN AT THIS MOMENT THE TWO WORST NATIONALITIES TO BE IS AMERICAN AND RUSSIAN THEY BOTH ARE CAUSING GREAT HARM NOT ONLY TO THE WORLD, BUT MOSTLY TO THEIR OWN PEOPLE AND COUNTRIES TALK ABOUT SELFISH LEADER'S. PRESIDENT CHUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT ONE THING WITH THE LEADER'S WE HAVE NOW IT IS NOT IF WE WILL ENGAGE EACH OTHER IN A WORLD WAR, BUT WHEN THE LEADER'S WE HAVE NOW ARE STEERING THE HUMAN RACE IN THAT DIRECTION AND PRESIDENT CHUMP YOU AND PRESIDENT POUTINE WILL BE CHIEFLY RESPONSIBLE. THE LEADER'S WE HAVE ELECTED TODAY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST OF THE MISERY IN THE WORLD TODAY. LEADER'S LIKE PRESIDENT KENNEDY, GHANDI, CHURCHILL ETC. TODAY WE HAVE LEADER'S LIKE TRUDEAU WHO CREATED MISERY AND DIVISION IN CANADA THE FORE MENTIONED LEADER'S ALREADY METIONED ARE DIRECTED BY PERSONAL GREED AND AMBITION AND HYPOCRACY. PRESIDENT ZELINSKY I AM AFFRAID LEADER'S LIKE YOU THAT HAVE COURAGE INTEGRITY AND STRENGHT ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN I AM SORRY TO TELL YOU BUT I THINK IN REALTY YOU STAND ALONE NOT MANY LEADER'S TODAY PUT COUNTRY AND COUNTRYMEN AND WOMEN BEFORE THEIR PERSONAL GREED AND AMBITION, BUT IF YOU SUCCEED YOU WILL BE STRONGER AND FAR BETTER OFF GOD BLESS

I am an American and I want to say stay strong to Canadians. I am really sorry that this happened due to a bunch of idiots who voted for Trump.

Donald Trump claims to be a Christian but what he is doing to other countries and his own country by firing people from government jobs is totally against God God gives life he don't take it and he would never have sent people to the streets just because some politicians created a job for the people this is going to cause people to lose their homes vehicles and their livelihood it is totally evil. And then placing these tariffs on other countries is no less than say I want your country he wants Canada he wants Panama, he wants Ukraine's lithium. And he wants to take it all and he is wrong in that because he is affecting people's lives and God Almighty will not put up with Donald Trump giving into the spoiled brat Elon Musk and his dictatorship attitude. Both Elan and Trump have no heart for the poor or the hardship they have placed on these people but God Almighty has a heart for the people who have lost their jobs and their livelihood because of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. In the book of Isaiah God said to the people that were coming against Israel, you have pissed on a wall. And everybody knows that when you piss on a wall it's going to come back on you and that's exactly what's happened. They didn't do it to the people that lost their jobs they did it to God Almighty who loves all people and wants them to have their wages. Maybe Elon Musk knows everything about technology and space craft, but the man ain't got a lick a common sense he has exactly zero wisdom when making decisions. But his greatest lack as he has no heart for the people who are going to be disrupted by losing their jobs he doesn't feel a thing he has no heart he needs to read the Bible because that's where your heart gets developed and you know right from wrong. And you know what God approves of and what he doesn't, and I'm telling you right now God Almighty does not approve of what Donald Trump and Elon Musk are doing. I voted for him, and now I am ashamed that I voted for him because he never mentioned he was going to do all this horrible horror to the very American people that voted for him. Now I pray for God's divine intervention because what he's doing to the American people and to other countries is not right

As an American I am so scared. I didn’t vote for this. I am ashamed of everyone who did. I am already facing a layoff as a federal worker and now prepared for a recession. I am SO SCARED

Dear Canadians, As an American, I am so ashamed of our administration. They are an administration of liers, grifters and sycophants who have undermined our democracy. They are destroying our country and in the process undermining Democracies around the world. You have been our closest ally for 200 years and I am happy to have lived in Detroit and spent so many trips to your wonderful country. Please hold on until we can get to our midterm 2026 elections and remove the sycophants that have allowed this criminal enterprise to infect us.

On behalf of everyone I know, and the majority of the American people, I sincerely apologize for the disgraceful, shameful, terrible way this so-called government is treating our closest friend and ally. I am SO sorry.

I am American, and Trump doesn't represent me. I support Canada, Ukraine, Mexico, and any allied country this tyrannical American president attacks.

Prime Minister speaks with grace, intellect, and empathy! I am American and embarrassed, ashamed, and disgusted with this president and surrounding members. It is time for our congress to step up and put a stop to this nonsense. There is a better way through collaboration and respect!!!!

As an American and Veteran I am just sickened by what this dictator trump is doing. You do what you need to do Canada because there is no reasoning with that moron in chief! I will always support you Canada ??

As an American, I am disgusted by our leaders and government. I wish I could move to Canada where there people are treated better. I did not vote for this. It sucks that gas is going to go up and I commute to work. And groceries going up too it's a shame. America supposed to be the better country but it's not. I stand with Canada and Ukraine❤❤

Trump did,not the majority of the United States, trump is the worse president we have had in decades. please do not blame all the American people. We don't want this either. I am so sorry this happened to you and Canada.

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!!!!!!!

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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...

As an American I am absolute ashamed and disgusted at what is happening to our standing in the world thanks to DJT.

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.

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 .

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

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.

American do want this and is willing to pay more to see that bussiness es come to the USA. But most important Americans want Trudo to go. I am willing to bet she. Pierre becomes President things will change for all. You Trudo have committed treason to your own people to the truckers. Forced your citizen l to jab vaccines. Force taxes for green climat change. Don’t you see we don’t want you !

I am American and i disavow are evil leadership. Trump is a dark thing to happen to this country. I stand with Canada and Trudeau. These are dark times. Maga is very popular here and I think vance could be the next president for 8 years. Maga is evil and must be defeated.

As an American I am ashamed of the actions of our president Mr.SprayTan. Please understand this is NOT what a lot of Americans wanted. It is the wants of bigots, racists, narcissists and dictators that made this happen..I stand with Canada, Ukraine and Europe.

I am happy that this will increase the costs on the american people. I hope all provinces remove all USA produced alcohol from their shelves. I hope we apply levies on all energy and mineral exports to the USA. This would include potash, oil, power, nickel, uranium, lumber, etc. I have no ill will to the american people, but your president (whether you elected him or not, he is YOUR president) has started this and you, the american people, are going to end up paying more for everything in the very near future. Your president has now started the FA, and the US public is about to FO. This is NOT hurt any of your billionaires or politicians that brought this upon you. You cannot be upset at anyone than your elected officials.

I am an American and I didn’t vote for this or support it!

Very well said PM Trudeau! I am very sad, disappointed and frustrated why the American chose this very arrogant, liar and heartless Trum
