Both Trudeau and Zelensky openly state that Trump's actions will lead to poverty in the USA and weaken the country so much on the international stage that no one will want to cooperate with the US anymore, fearing that when the day of trial comes, the US will betray them—just as Trump did! Unlike Trump, Europe did not betray the USA on its day of trial when NATO's Article 5 was invoked to help the US fight ISIS. Europe sent its soldiers, who died for the USA. And today, Trump claims that this does not matter, that he does not recognize Europe because it supposedly took advantage of him. So I ask, who took advantage of whom? Because so far, I see a deceitful man doing everything that terrorist Putin wants. God, protect America so that its children do not have to fight for freedom, as Ukraine is doing today in defense of American ideals—which, for Trump, mean as much as toilet paper in his golden toilets...

i know Trudeau gets a lot of crap from people, but my god this was a hell of a speech. same with Bernie Sanders' speech. i got goosebumps and also trying to fight back tears simultaneously. my ex wife is disabled receiving social security, medicare, and medicaid due to being in a wheelchair and requiring consistent medical care and attention. she receives, and is expected to survive on, $800 a month and $300 in foodstamps. she lives in campgrounds which is 90% cheaper than rent, and still has to budget, struggle and go without a lot to make life work all while being in tremendous pain and reliant on help from others. Trump, Elon, and all the other billionaires in charge are literally trying to make the ones suffering the most to suffer more while making them even richer. its absolutely disgusting how soulless these CEOs are. the world is ashamed of us and frankly if you are American and not ashamed and embarrassed by what these billionaires are doing with our relationship to not only our country but the entire world....then you arent a patriot, you are a cult follower, and you are part of the problem.

As an American, I apologize to Prime minister Trudeau and Canada. I really think we have a hitler in the works. God help us.

As a Canadian citizen I have always admired the US up until now, I sincerely wanted to move to the US to build homes and start up a company. But now am re-evaluating my decision because if this how the US treats their friends and allies, I really feel sad for their enemies. Both countries benefited from having a good relationship and now the great US has no one willing to challenge Mr Trump on this idiotic move, America is alienating themselves from a lot of countries and regular Americans are the ones who are going to suffer from this fall-out, the rich won't be affected but regular working class folks your stress is going to get a whole lot worse and that's unfortunate. Hopefully US wises up sooner rather than later and stop blaming immigration for their problems it's poor governing and politicians that have us looking at each other as enemies rather than humans with the same struggle and issues. They have money to send annually overseas but none to improve the life of their citizens in need, that should tell you something. People that don't look like you aren't your enemies, people who try to harm you, undermine you are your enemies. People are just searching for a better life that's all, the most basic thing humans have in common, change the red tape a make things more structured and rid your country of the bad apples and welcome those willing to work, build and serve God and the country. May God help us all the beginning of Sorrows has begun ?.

Absolutely embarrassing to be an American these days. Trump has made us a joke on the world stage. Canadians get to have real leadership, we get to have a man-child with a fragile ego and zero critical thinking skills. God help us! ?

I’m an American citizen & how couldn’t the majority of my countries citizens not see this coming! It was just common sense!\nYou didn’t need to be a political genius to see this coming!\nI did not vote for that person & on behalf I’m so sorry for all of us!!\nMay God help us all!✝️????

I As an American citizen can only hope that we would have a president in office with the intelligence, compassion and dignity that PM Trudeau has. At this time I am truly ashamed of my country. Especially the ones that put this hateful, revenge seeking, criminal monster in our White House. I stand with you 100% Canada. I also hope that maybe within the next year, trump will be gone. I don't know how or where but just gone. As intelligent as prime minister Trudeau is I have to disagree with one comment he made. trump is NOT a smart man. He is nothing but a 34 count convicted felon, rapist and criminal wannabe dictator. I shudder at the thought of the end of his four year disaster. What will our country do when we have no allies whatsoever. He loves russia and putin, His puppet master. He does not understand that Russia has never been our friend, is not our friend. And never will be our friend. He just loves putin because He wants to be just like him. He is the United States very own Adolf Hitler. Also , I have removed our flag from my front yard that I so proudly displayed my entire life. It will be raised again but only after this nightmare called trump is gone! Please accept the apology from millions of Americans that stand with you. We are truly sorry and we are suffering with you. God help us. And God Bless Canada ❤

Brilliant speech! And very kind to one American considering what is happening now. God help us all!

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau from the U.S. Very kind words and extremely helpful information that we all need to hear from a political leader that is talking to us without all the rhetoric and childish behavior. DT is extremely wrong and ignorant. Many Americans stand with Canada, Ukraine and Mexico. God bless you and world peace for all of us.

God help us all. I refuse to get angry at Americans but that orange insane lunatic is off his rockers. Impeach him plz

I believe you, Mr. TRUDEAU. We Americans who DO NOT SUPPORT our Administration's policies are crying and angry to see our country falling apart and the citizens who need the most help, are concerned about our welfare. ???? God help us all.

God help us so many Americans are against Trump!

American here, and I know that I don’t speak for all of us, but THERE IS A HELL OF A LOT OF US THAT DO NOT WANT THIS EITHER! Probably more of us that don’t want it, than there are that do! Help us!!! Please, God!!! Help us!!

This is insane! America stands with our allies. ALWAYS. I cannot believe this crap is happening! TRUMP NEEDS TO LEAVE THE WHITE HOUSE! Americans do not want this and do not agree with this dame PRESIDENT! GOD HELP US!

God help us Americans who are stuck with this horrible president. I'm with our allies. No Trump and no Putin. OMGOSH, we are in deep trouble here in the US.

As American, We can’t help neighbors who don’t want to help us stop murdering our citizens with drugs. America shall stay strong and have victory because they doing what’s right and fair. God bless America and president Trump.

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.

I am an American who is embarrassed for our country. Please forgive us. ??Half of us never voted Trump into office. God help us thru his cruelty.

God Bless Canada and God help us Americans

This American stands with Canada ?? Best neighbor any country could hope to have. God bless Canada and may God help us all…

Please Sir, know this is Trump. Half of Americans did not want this monster that is Putin's puppet. I understand your stance. He's a crazy man that doesn't care about the majority of Americans. If I could leave, I would. May God help us all.

Im a Ukrainian born and an American citizen. I support freedom, and it breaks my heart to see Americas government side with Putin and abandon a freedom loving Ukraine. Thank you to everyone who supports Ukraine and opposes evil. God bless us all and help us.

No one can reason with a stupid person. It all came down to the collective dumb decision by Americans for re-electing an unfit person back to the White House. You dumb Americans chose a criminal to be your leader and crimes he will do and is doing now. God help us all! ??

US Americans didn't want this to happen. Our GOVERMENT is totally lost the meaning of God ! May God help us all!

Americans elections have consequences. God help us all‼️

As an American, I'm sorry to Canada and those of us who didn't vote for Trump. We don't deserve this and the ones who voted for him, you need to repent and wonder if it was really worth it. This mess is just the beginning. God help us!

God bless the Canadians we Americans should all vacation there I am so embarrassed that we have a Putin clown running our country God help us

I am American, and our Preasident hates his country and the people in it. He is treating us like second class people. I am so sorry Canada ?? I live in Michigan I love Canada and its people... God help the USA ?? ? ?? ??

Dear Canada: please know that this orange buffoon does NOT speak for the vast majority of Americans that value truth, integrity and other humans. He shows every day that he cares only about his ego, his personal wealth and his billionaire buddies. Taking the side of dictators is his stock in trade, as we’ve seen numerous times. God help us until we’re rid of Trump and his idiot sycophants!

This is frightening, God please help us Americans who never asked for this! ??

So proud of the Canadians for standing up to Trump. Know that at least 1/2 of the American population is completely behind the Canadians. We are so embarrassed by our POTUS and his lackeys. God help us all.

As Americans we pray for us and our fellow partners in different countries. \nOur brothers and sisters whoever you are we are praying for you as we are bringing ourselves we will get through this we are fighters with God's help and a Virgin Mary nothing will stop us and we show compassion, understanding and it will be hard we will try our best. ❤❤

As an American citizen (sadly) i apologize for the baboon-fest in our whitehouse. the monkeys took over because of the mentally instable voters and vote-buying scammers who brought this on. MOST of us did not vote for this tragedy. but now we must attempt to survive this. not even God can help us!

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.

American by birth, Canadian by heritage, veteran by choice. May God help us in this new dark age.

As an American I did not vote for him or what he is doing to us all. God bless our wonderful neighbor Canada and God help us here in America.

American here, God help us that have to be here.

I detected NO LIES........... please don't say AMERICANS because all of us don't AGREE with the American dictator! So glad I BELIEVE IN GOD! everything this man said is CORRECT! GOD HELP US??

As an American, I’m sure I’m not alone in this sentiment, I am absolutely terrified, only 6 weeks in. God help us all

As a Canadian I can tell you it is a supremely miserable feeling to have a nation which we have such strong feeling for strike at us like this. It is equally miserable to know that our tariffs will also cause pain to Americans. We are sorry, and I know that is cliche, but we are. Have no doubt, if you know us at all, we will fight back passionately, vigorously and indefinitely. President Trump has done what no one should ever do: put our backs to the wall. We have no choice but to fight back. God help us all!

I have never been so embarrassed to be an American. Its heart breaking that we allowed this to happen even with all the warning signs. I have protested, attended town halls, emsiled all my state representatives and every attempt can only have power if the people we elected go to bat for us. They are not doing so. Americans who know this is absolutely unacceptable will scream as loud as we can to stop this dictator but we need to help of the higher ups. Please...for the love of God, get this man out of the seat of power until it is too late. Maybe it already is.

American supporting Canada ?? God help us with the traitors we have in office.

Illegals in NY hotels and Americans can’t pay for rent ,property taxes ,association,put food on the table,pay for medicare ,God help us ?

All of this people coming illegally in to our American Country are just looking for free everything, well hopefully now they wouldn't b able to just walk in like before, God help us we dont need any more criminals living here for free,,

As an American, I am utterly ashamed of Trump. I voted for Harris and I was heartbroken when she lost. God help us!

this is dangerously insane and frightening. The Americans need to caal in the military the way Piland has! We can't have this invasion of madness.\nWHERE IS THE MILITARY?? \nThis is terrifying! God please help the Americans keep these people out of the USA and therefore Canada God please help us!

May God help them find a way in South America. The USA has many issues that we need to address to progress our government systems. This is a distraction from a much greater problem in this nation because China is far advanced economically. It’s a whole new world over there whiles this country is pledge with the effects or racism and classism. Eventually there will be no middle class. It will be the Elites and the poor no room or opportunity for nothing in between. Racism must stop in order to combat classism. Immigration entitlement is a direct result of the efforts to oppress black Americans by moving them in order to keep us out along with every other major issue America is facing currently. Racism will be the demise of this country. The amount of energy and resources used for anti black racism has pretty much bankrupted this country. Just think about all of the black inventors, intellectuals, and dreamers killed or suppressed whom could have been more of an economical difference in this country to help make it a beautiful place…. Crazy work

There are about 2 million estimated Americans living in Mexico currently. They may be forced out too in response. President Sheinbaum just met with China's president last week as well. not to mention China's in-roads and developing relations with so many central and south American countries. Not to mention Brazil is the B in BRICS which is now roughly 1/2 the world's population and produce more GDP than the G7 for the first time ever. God help us is Saudi joins them. That is where most of oil prices are determined also since our refineries are not setup to refine domestically produced oil (it is the wrong type) and it would take decades and billions to convert. Not to mention costly and owned by multi-national corporations. And forcing them do so amounts to semi state-control and is a communist ideal. They are capitalist institutions and are only beholden to shareholders. And those shareholders are not voting to take a loss.
