I'm an 80 year old Navy veteran and I am ashamed to be an American. My wife and I walked out of a concert a week ago when the band started playing Proud to be an American. Americans are oblivious to the shit storm coming our way. They thought the economy was bad based on egg prices of $5 a dozen. You ain't seen nothing yet.

I am an american. What the f. This is not the america is know. Supporting dictatorship and fighting our allies.

As an American citizen who has seen through all of Trump's lies, abuses, and racism since the 1980s, I am sadly amazed that so many of my fellow citizens have bought into his transparent disregard for our nation, it's people, and the world at large. Trump has created a rift of division unparalleled in our history. At the same time, the world at large has never seemed more united. Until this dark era passes and my nation returns, I will take strength in being a citizen of the world.

I’m an American…. And I am so jealous that you have a sane president ?????

I'm an American.. I am so sorry this is happening to Canada. It makes me ashamed of my government! May God intervene, and may God Bless Canada! In the mean time...turn off the power too!

I am an American and totally agree with Canada. \nTrump is messing with Canada and all Americans in his crazy quest to get money to give the 1% billionaires.

I admire a leader who can stand up for their people this way! As an American I am saddened and embarrassed over the way or so called leaders have been acting and treating others.

To Canada and all our allies, I am an American and I stand with them with our allies. The fact that idiot is in charge of our country. He’s tearing it apart piece by piece and that’s what he wants to do.

I am an American standing with Canada and Ukraine ❤

Canada, I am an American, and dont care about you pity little country.

I am so ashamed and infuriated by what is going on in America!! They are going to kill a large majority of our population, way more than fentanyl or criminals! There has to be something we can do to get them out of our government!! \nAs an American, I would like to apologize for what our government is doing to the world! I voted AGAINST the ?? but I am sorry all the same!

Bravo!?????? I am an American and I stand with Canada. Leaders from other countries around the world should be as strong as your leader Trudeau! This message could not be more clear or direct. And I’m glad Trudeau didn’t call him with president in front of his name. trump doesn’t deserve it. He is a disgrace to America and exactly what America is not about. No one knows how he could get here But it’s a nightmare that we are trying to wake up from. Trump has spread cancer in America and we are fighting for our lives. We are deeply sorry for all the pain we are causing people around the world. This is our fight and we unfortunately are making it everyone’s problem. We need help, so thank you for everything you are doing.

As an American I am embarrassed. We don't want this either. Agent Orange and his followers are idiots. The new regime's desire turn its back on our allies and bond w/ sorted dictators is beyond belief. #RESIST

I hate being an American. I did what I could but failed. Countrymen voted against it, and well .. we are now all in this hell together. Left stuck and upset at all of this. I am proud of Canada and wish we had a more capable leader. I am so sorry to everyone else. Know its not everyone in america follows the goons about.

To the world. - I am an American citizen and I am ashamed to be one. I do not support trump. I did not vote for him. I hate him. He is a waste of breath. I am sorry about everything our government is doing. I don’t want this and I don’t want him in charge. I stand with Canada.

I am a dual Canadian/American citizen and I stand with my fellow Canadian’s and am embarrassed by Donald Trump and his brainwashed followers. I will do everything I can do to support Canada. Frankly the American citizenship is an embarrassment to me now. ??

I am an American--and an old one--and I support you fully. I have enjoyed Canada on several unforgettable fishing trips. A beautiful place disrespected by an ugly American party.

I am an American. I want the world to know that Trump doesn't speak for all of us. I am ashamed that stupidity won the last election. I apologize to Canada, Mexico, and the free world for Trump. Resist, Stay Calm and Carry On. American will return

Oh my God, my heart is absolutely broken in half. I am an American citizen (I am ashamed to even tell anybody that) my brother is a Canadian citizen, and I feel like Trump has put up a wall that will now make it impossible for me to ever see my brother again.\n\n* I believe that Trump is somehow spawn of Satan. He and all his henchmen!

I am so ashamed as an American and as a human being. I am so very sorry for all of this BS. And Americans are all going to be sorry because of what’s happening in Washington right now. We are all going to suffer. Canada, please keep doing everything you can to work with the UK and the EU and all allies to make the world work while the US sinks into a quagmire of squalor, no long the leader of the free world. ???

Good for you Justin. As an American senior, I am afraid for my life. If they take my social security and health care, I will be homeless and die. Please, everyone, fight that bastard in the white house anyway you can.

As an American, I am ashamed that my country somehow chose to re-elect this ghoul and his circus train of hangers-on. God bless you. I wish you and the rest of the free world the best. Just know that the many (likely the majority) of us down here now oppose and revile him as well.

As an American I am grateful to Canada and I will continue to buy Canadian products. The “leaders” of America are shameful bullies. So far, nearly every attempt that has been made to stop this madness ultimately gets turned over by someone in Trump’s pocket. Thank you for standing up to the bullies. I wish the best for you!

I am not proud to be an American right now. Trump is taking over the government and destroying the American way.

I am an American citizen and did not vote for Donald Trump. I stand with Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine. I did not vote for a madman to take down my beloved country!

As an American I am so disgusted by this country that they voted in this monster and I wake up every day afraid of what horrors await us from the oval office. Much respect to Canada for fighting back, these tariffs will serve nobody.

I am an American. I am not sure why trump is continuing to tariff Canada since they held their end of the bargain and improved border security. This is getting out of hand.

i am ashamed to be an American today. i would love to move my entire family and become a Canadian citizens! less than 1 percent is outstanding and a safe secure beautiful place to live. God be with us all i hope this ends!

As a proud US citizen who loves her country, I am disgusted over so many actions of Trump/Vance/Musk that display a lack of care for the American people and a disdain and arrogance for other nations such as ?? Canada. Trudeau you speak with character, clarity, class and thoughtfulness - ?. If only our own leadership had an ounce of any of those characteristics of true leadership such as Canada has displayed…

This isn’t about fentanyl. This is trump trying to intentionally destroy the US. As an American citizen, I am sickened and furious over what’s he is doing to my country. Canada, don’t back down. Stick it to the orange idiot.

As an American, I stand with Canada and Ukraine. I am ashamed of Trump. I do not agree with his rudeness and his shameful disrespect. Stand strong Canada. There are Americans standing with you.

I am A Vietnam Veteran , Jan-Dec 1967 , and am A True Blue American Patriot who loves America with Every Ounce Of My Being !!!!! That being said , what Donald Trump and his Traitorous Conspirators are doing to Our Neighbors , Both Canada and Mexico , is A Travesty Beyond anything An American President has EVER DONE in Our History !!!! My belief is that Trump is A Russian Asset who is doing everything he can to Tear Apart Our American Democracy , to give Vladimir Putin An Open Door to America !!!! Trump is A TRAITOR TO AMERICA , MAKE NO MISTAKE !!!! Prepare yourselves for America`s 2nd Civil War !!! IT IS COMING !!!!! You can laugh all you want , but you won`t be laughing when you begin to hear Gunshots ringing out in Your Neighborhood !!! The ONLY THING that will convince Trump he made A HUGE MISTAKE is Americans armed to The Teeth standing outside of The White House , ready to rip him out of it by force !!!! He has Underestimated Americans Resolve !!!! REAL AMERICANS `` WILL NOT STAND BY `` while he systematically Shreds our Democracy , and Names Himself THE KING OF AMERICA !!!! ITS TIME FOR WAR AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As an American I am just sickened by Trump and his gang….the American government needs to remove Trump from office immediately. He is a nutcase and if his first month in office don’t tell you anything I don’t know what will

As an American citizen that did not vote for the squatter's in the White House that are causing all of this unnecessary chaos, I support Canada. The fact that our Government stands with Putin is sickening. Trust me, Canadian citizens, we did not want this and I am so sorry.

Good for you Canada, I am embarrassed to be an American, it is so sad. I love my country and have to watch it being torn to shreds.

Sir as an American I am with you. The respect that should be among nations is not any longer in the USA. My respect to you sir. We know that orange is lying and wants a war. He wants to copy history by creating a new depression influence by the devils that are surrounding him. He is decrepit, highly influenciable and someone not to trust. I am disgusted for all that is happening. We need you as a nation to help us combat evilness with logic and kindness. God Bless you. Americans are with you and in spite of all this madness we are with you and your people.

I am an American and very proud of Canada. I jumped up and shouted when he said 25 back to you America????? You GoBoy!!!!!

As an American let me say I am sorry and embarrassed. Let’s wait this guy out.

As an American I am once again infuriated! I wish we could get rid of this dictatorship in our country! He fires at random and without justification. Now he wants us to go through a Great Depression. It’s not Canada’s fault! I hope most Canadians know that most Americans love our neighbors and are mortified by the great pumpkin and his antics. I’m scared of being taken over by Russia

Trudeau, a true leader. Trump, sick and evil. I am an American. I am a Texan.

As an American, I support Canada and Ukraine! I am fighting the good fight here against these idiots.

I am an American and Canada I don’t want this either. But you need to do what needs to be done and I support that!! You go Canada! I did not vote for Trump, and I want Trump to fail, because if he doesn’t, I will lose my right to vote. Trump has never been held accountable for his actions! He needs to be arrested for treason and terrorism.

As an American who was born here and live here for over 50 years, I am so ashamed of this government, the republican politicians and some of the democratic politicians. The MAGA cult is overwhelming our everyday lives in combination with Trump, Vance and Musk vast amounts of lies, deceit, disrespect for the low-middle class American families, cozying up to the fascist dictator Putin, turning your back on our best ally Canada by instigating these ridiculous tariffs, and a whole host of other atrocities that have occurred in the past few weeks. Let this sink in... in the past few weeks! What is it going to be like in a few months or by the end of this term? With the way it's going, we're going to be damned lucky that we're going to be here at all, otherwise Trump and Putin can rule over a nuclear decimated scorched earth. Americans that are already sick, tired and completely fed up with all of the grandiose shit-storm actions coming out of the White House, please do what you absolutely can to shout from the rooftops, we will not concede, we will not bow down and kiss the ring, we will not be bullied and we will not stand idly by and watch a narcissistic, misogynistic, blow-hard dictator-loving(Putin), felonious bully and all his butt-munching fuck-tard cronies burn this country to the ground. RESISTANCE!

As an American, I am so sorry ? Many of us stand with Canada and Ukraine, our allies and friends.

For the 1st time in my 75yrs of existence on this planet, I am thoroughly Ashamed to be an American....I am ashamed of those who voted for this wannabe dictator......because of their short sidedness, they have elected a monster.....as for the politicians that enable him, they are spineless swamp creatures that need to be voted out of office and some sent to Guantanamo and charged with crimes against America

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 an American and I support Canada 100 percent.

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.

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!
