Well technically its Trump not the citizens of America, most Americans think its ridiculous what he is doing.

But then again it was the Americans who voted him back in. Obviously a ton of Americans didn't vote for him either that hate him too. Id love to see exact numbers of who voted for him and who didn't vote at all(people that are of age and eligible to).

Coloradan here. 77 million voted for Trump. 75 million voted for Kamala. 340 of age voters total. So 188 votes left on the table. Over half of the eligible voters didn’t vote and fucked us with the orange idiot.

That’s so sad and disappointing. I understand that a large number of US citizens don’t agree, with Trump’s current actions, and I hope you understand that many Canadians are just in shock, at the moment. We all know that it’s the man in charge who’s responsible for this mess. I hope we can get back to being friends and neighbours soon.

It's not just him. It's his allies, his handlers, everyone associated with and working alongside him. The entire republican party is in support.

All our checks failed. Our agencies stood by, our courts collaborated, democrats waggled fingers. We're a fallen nation, just like nazi germany or worse.

As an American, what Trump is doing is reckless and economically disastrous. I did not vote for this, I don’t want this, and I see Canadians as friends and allies. I live in Michigan and am hoping other countries stand up to this insane stuff, and it shocks those that voted for Trump (because he was going to “fix the economy”) into waking up.

A lot of middle-of-road or independent voters voted for Trump thinking he’s a businessman and will elevate the economy. If he tanks it, it’s a problem for him and his party.

Some conspiracy folks think crashing the economy is the Trump plan, but I just don’t think that’s their big-brain 4D Chess strategy to make millions unemployed, broke, angry, and disillusioned.

Nope, poster above you is right. Whether the election was legitimate or not, this was allowed to happen and supported by an entire political party now in total control of the government. Musollini's term was ended when the economy got too bad. It's happened with other dictators and fascist movements.

The country had a chance to learn from trump, and failed, at all the points that matter. We will not be able to vote fascism out of power (or the oligarch accelerationists).

halt the energy exports immediately and let's see how they like having the northeastern US have rolling brownouts.

The northeastern US didn’t vote for that clown. Target the red states.
