As an American, i am embarrassed and stand with Canada. It's gotten so expensive to live here in California it's ridiculous and the IRS still wants 2-3 thousand in taxes every year if you don't have any dependents to claim.

As an American citizen I stand only for this flag??

As an american, I stand with my Canadian brothers. \n\nYou don't do this to allies.

As an American, I am so heartbroken by what is happening to our country and our allies. The majority of Americans are devastated, furious and sorry. This is the most powerless I have ever felt in my life.

As an american (lower case on purpose), I TOTALLY SUPPORT CANADA!

As an American and as a Republican I fully support Canada and Ukraine in this matter.

As an American I personally apologize to my Canadian and Mexican friends. Please know 3/4th of America love you. We’ve just been hijack by racists and haters.

To the rest of the world: As an American citizen, I just want to say that I'm sorry our population was dumb enough put an incompetent, fascist, narcissistic conman fuckhead into the white house where he could screw everything and everyone (us included) up. Not all of us voted for this or want this. Not all of us are dumb enough to fall for his bullshit.

I APPLUAD YOU, PRIME MINISTER MR. TRUDEAU\nAND AS AN AMERICAN I WANT YOU TO KNOW I STAND WITH CANADA??, MEXICO THE UK & EUROPE. NOT RUSSIA. \nI BACK THE UKRAINIANS ??\nGOD BLESS YOU\nGOD BLESS ALL OF US.\nI APOLOGIZE FOR HAVING AN IDIOT IN THE WHITEHOUSE.

As an American, I stand with Canada and Ukraine and not with useful idiots planted in our government by Putler to destroy the West from the inside out and everything America stood for since WWII.

As a Kamala voter and as an American who loves Canada, I apologize for the hideous manner in which my government is treating our neighbor and ally. I will be protesting and doing what I can to stop Trump and Musk from destroying our democracy and our friendships around the world. I wish Canada all the prosperity and health possible in the future and I hope someday you will be able to forgive our nation for the damage that the idiots running this country are causing for you and many other of our allies as well, with their ignorant tariffs and bullying tactics. Someone needs to punch Trump in the nose, good and hard, so he knows that not everyone will back down when one acts like a pushy jerk. He is not a strong man, he is a lily livered, weak willed, draft dodger who just happened to be born to a wealthy father. Best of luck! We will miss you by our side . . . . ???☮

As an American, I stand with you Canada. Thank you for standing up for what's right, even if it costs us. We need to learn. ??

President Trudeau-CAN YOU PLEASE BE THE US NEW PRESIDENT???? I DID NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP AND THINK HE IS AN ID*&T, and we as an American people SIDE WITH YOU!!!

As an American I can say we don’t support the idiocy that is Trump’s tariffs. Those who voted for him are about to learn what tariffs are. The rest of us already knew, but were outvoted by idiots.

As an American, I stand with Canada and Ukraine. We will tighten our pockets as well. What this administration is doing is destructive. The president does not care about America, he only cares about being king.

This is what a leader looks like, uniting his people. As an American I am thoroughly disheartened and mortified by Trump and Vance's behavior.

As an American I wish you would rule us. you’re the leader I would rather have over felon trump.

Prime Minister Trudeau, can you annex America so we can have common sense leadership again. You and Ukrainian Leader Zelensky are true leaders. Trump is hurting our allies and most of all us Americans. Just know i and many other Americans did not vote for Trump, a criminal and womanizer, I as an American stand with Canada. Go Canada,!!!!!

He's leaving office this month. He has nothing to lose. Canada will be the big loser in the end. As an American I stand for America.

As an American I stand with Canada and the Ukraine. I am ashamed of trump , he should not be president. He is a disgrace as a human being.

As an American Mr. Trudeau let me say that i highly respect the way you speak with education and dignity. Thank you for what your telling us. I didn't vote for this tyrant or these republican politicians. I hope those MAGA's are happy with how we are doing and the suffering that is coming shortly.

Trump's going to bankrupt the U.S. just as he has many of his businesses. As an American, I can't wait to move up to Canada. I'm absolutely embarrassed to be a born and raised American citizen. I'm embarrassed and ashamed by many other fellow citizens and by the choices the current government is making. I'm also continually perplexed and ashamed by the continued mistakes our country continues to make every damn year and decade.

I never voted for that dangerous man but feel ashamed as an American for this betrayal against our nicest and closest allies. The Canadians must be very proud of their great, smart and brave leader, Mr Trudeau

Thank you Canada, Thank you TRUTH. This is the transparency we have heard about in America and have yet to have seen. As an American, I support you. I am prepared and in Minnesota we HEAR you. We approve of your message. Godspeed!

As an American I can say wholeheartedly, “Wow, so that’s what real leadership looks like!”\nMeanwhile, we’re stuck with Mr Orange… ?

Now THAT is a real leader. I say this as an American: F Trusk! We love you, Canada. ??

Trump is a horrible, horrible human. I am devastated over what he is doing. I've never once given Trump my vote and I'm not a lefty liberal. I knew if he was voted in he was going to cause world wide chaos. He has shown his character over and over and over...yet a large portion of American's just ignored it. This election wasn't about republicans or democrats or independents. This election was about humanity and global security. American's ignored the writing on the wall for their own singular wants/opinions. They stand with their Trump flags but only a few of them can actually explain any accurate information about his policy or legal issues and they condone his behavior. The majority of Trumpers claim to be 'Christians'. Christians voting for a man who is a bully, abuser, liar, predator, monger of power, impedes freedom of press and speech and aligns himself with a dictator. He pardoned violent offenders and called them patriotic, spouts false information, obstructs investigations, has numerous felony charges against him and has now made enemies with our allies. Shall I go on? That's not Christian. Even if you aren't Christian...that's not what America stands for. All for what...eggs? Guns? Cheaper groceries? Or because your need for hating a small group of people out weighs global peace. Or is it because you are so short sighted that you can't even see the valuable contribution that non American born people provide this country. Yes, Biden fell asleep at the wheel. Yet many of you still believed the better choice was a psychopath. This election was important. We failed as a country by putting this man in office. No matter what party you align with, we failed. Yes, I want cheaper eggs. Yes, I really need cheaper groceries. But not over the safety of the globe. Not over the lives of the people and children being killed in an unprovoked war. Not over the safety of Europe. Not over ripping off our closest and favorite country that borders us. Not over losing our democracy and our allies. I stand with Ukraine, Canada, Mexico and Europe and the Gulf of Mexico. You should ask yourself what you really stand for.

Thank you Trudeau! As an American, I support you and am so embarrassed and appalled by my own country.

As an American I am disgusted that we have that orange POS sitting in the White House and all of his spineless POS!

Don’t back down ever Canada. As an American I want you to make Trump look as stupid as he is.

As an american i dont want this

As an American...I wish we had PM Trudeau as our President

As an American, I am so jealous of Canadians. Your govt's got your back and you actually have people who can speak properly running your govts ? I liked Trudeau's speech and answers so much. He's being so honest

As an American, I cannot for the life of me figure out why our administration is doing this or what they think is going to be gained. As a Minnesotan, can we just move in with you guys?

I certainly did NOT vote for tRump, but he went rogue. As an American, I now appreciate Canada more. We DO NOT WANT THIS!

Speaking as an American. A REAL American who stands by our Constitution and the laws of our land and not with a TRAITOR. We do NOT want this. I have always been clueless to how Americans can hear what this traitor says and support it. It reminds me of the movie Shalow Hal. The woman was fat and unattractive but the guy saw this slim beautiful model. This is American right now. We have this Fat Traitor and some Americans see this STRONG Man who is going to make their lives wonderful by hurting all the black and brown people. Right out of the gate he’s telling them all he’s here to hurt and harm every American, but will still hurt and harm black and brown people the most. Many of them will be removed from earth in the largest earth removal since the mid 1930’s. This will end badly for him and all who supports him. The sad result will be the total destruction of our country and if you listened to him. He kept telling you that.

As an American, I do not want this either! I did not vote for this and I am feeling very helpless. I am a NEVER TRUMPER. Trump is a bully and a narcissist and I don’t think there is any reasoning with this man. You have to stroke his ego and I wouldn’t blame you for not playing games with our impetuous childish President. Additionally, many are stuck in the illusory effect better know as the big lie effect. If you tell a lie often enough it becomes “true”. Narcissists are dangerous people especially when they are given power. We love you Canada?? I am so incredibly sorry.

As an American, I stand with Canada, Mexico & Ukraine not the way our government has chosen to act on the world stage!?

As an American I say screw Canada

As an American in Buffalo, I stand with our dear neighbors and friends in Canada!

I am ashamed to be an American now. I was from 2016-2020 as well. The insanity of XX45 is 100x worse now, along with the unhinged Elon musk. We are in dire straits. Real Americans LOVE YOU Canada! ???

That’s the question “WHAT IS THIS REALLY ABOUT” there is something very wrong going on here! This current ?leading our country straight into hell has reasons far beyond fent! Like Prime Minister Trudeau said “that’s his excuse” esp. with Canada as we have known & for anyone who hasn’t known,they do now. Canada is not our biggest concern of Fent getting into our country! Trump wants to look like a hero to his sheep but he is only a puppet being played by Putin!What is it that Putin has that either is on Trump or what Trump wants! Keywords “what Trump wants” bc none of us want this! He is weakening our country almost daily & getting closer to Russia?! Russians don’t even trust Putin,let alone any Americans, esp leaders! Putin would destroy his own for power & yet Trump thinks he’s some “good trustworthy guy” we are headed into a very very dark time! The faster we get him out the faster we can repair the damage done! Idk how anyone supports this ?any longer\nAs an American I stand with Canada ?? Ukraine ?? Mexico ?? Europe! Ppl get ur passports ready! I’m ready to leave & come back in 4yrs!

As an American citizen... I am sorry for this idiotic trade war, I am sorry for the way our government treated Zelensky, and I hope that they can figure out a way to treat other governments with respect.

As an American I'm 60 yrs old. And I totally agree With Canada's Prime Minister Trudeau 1000%. I never wanted Trump. And let's make this clear by all means. To those that voted for his dumb ass I hope u you got what you wanted. HE DOES NOT GIVE A CRAP BOUT AMERICA ONLY PUTIN WHO WITH TRUMP BEING THE ULTIMATE ASS KISSER TO HIM TO DESTROY OUR DEMOCRACY AND THE PEOPLE WITHIN IT. GOD HELP US ALL. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE PRETTY. TRUMP IS THE DEVIL HIMSELF.

To all Canadians, as an American, it was so refreshing to see PM Trudeau stand up to the big bully who has some type of bromance with Putin. We feel he has something he’s holding over ?’s head. We also feel our election was rigged by muskrat. We live in a Blue state, Illinois, and we will suffer some things the ? felon we withhold from us. I don’t care. We’d rather be in a blue state no matter what. Please pray for us and all Americans who despise this man. Thank you.

As an American, I support your decision. This government of ours is a government of bullies and traitors.

As an American, I stand with Canada.

As an American, I'm sorry, world. I voted blue

It makes perfect sense because Donald Trump is a Nazi and a Nazi supporter that will turn the US into an axis power. As if our reputation wasn't bad enough now America will be the most hated country in the world and it's all thanks to Republicans and Maga Republicans who should now ALL consider themselves traitors to the flag. If you support Donald Trump you are a coward, a xenophobic sycophant, a bigot, a white supremacist, and as i stated earlier, a traitor. Treason is punished by death in some lands. The American people won't allow this dictator for long. Even if it causes a Civil War within our own country. Trump will not last a full 4 years in the Nazi House. The people will end up getting tired of it, and then Maga will know what it's like to fear for their lives. Its going to unfold terribly for our country and I hope all of our allies will forgive us after the Trump Nazi Regime is removed.

As an American we made our bed now we get to lay in it. God I hope America can unite again.
