No. I have values, morals, ethics, based in the ideals of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. The people poo-pooβing these ideals for personal power and profit are the ones who should be embarrassed. I stand with all those who stood and died before me. πΊπΈ
Completely. Since childhood, I've always loved the U.S. flag. As a teen & adult, I've always had it in some form on my jackets (patches, pins). I removed all of them the week rump was sworn in. This isn't the U.S. to me any more. It's disgusting.
I love my country but this is a dark time I never thought I would see in my lifetime. I actually apologized to a Canadian couple in a Walmart parking lot the other day.
I have been DEEPLY embarrassed ever since the 1st moment the ORANGE turd rode down on his flipping "golden" escalator with his paid for supporters. The man has NO taste in decor whatsoever. Totally gauche and totally tasteless.
I was embarrassed when Kamala lost and the country voted in this obvious criminal and monster that is incapable of empathy or critical or creative thought.
No. MAGA doesnβt define Americaβwe do. The majority of Americans believe in democracy, decency, and progress. Real patriotism means standing up for whatβs right, not letting extremists claim the flag. Itβs time to take it back. #TruePatriotism
That... thing in office has always been an embarrassment!
it needs to be made an example of for those to come
That is why there are safeguards for people like him.
Trust is a huge thing for me, he has never had it.
Harris is a huge hope and I want her back!
No, but I am so proud to be π¨π¦, you have united us like I havenβt seen before. Our stores shelves arenβt seeing USA products, fruit that is there is rotting. Travel to USA down 25%per WestJet &Air Canada. Next step stop flow of oil & hydro to USA and sell elsewhere!
I love this country. But I'm very sad many Americans voted for this demagogue. I hope they wake up, and in mid-term elections democrats take the house and senate and block the demagogue from causing more damage.
When we were at a lovely Caribbean resort last week, the host of the evening show asked how many Americans here? How many British etc. I will tell you not one of us raised our hands. If you havenβt been to another country you canβt know how disgusted our allies and friends are.
I'm glad to see there are still sensible Americans. β€οΈ
And may I quote Churchill for the other, less sensible Americans?
"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter."
NO, but I AM embarrassed that so many of my fellow citizens voted for this shit show that put these ugly moronic imbeciles in charge of our security, health and policies.
I was when Al Gore "lost", when Hillary "lost", during 45, when maga hijacked the flag with hate and racism, etc... Finally under Biden during the Olympics we could wave our flags and cheer, USA. Now I think this should be our new flag π³οΈβπ with stars.
I've SEEN enough !!!
trump HAS DECLARED WAR AGAINST THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA !!!
trump has DECLARED WAR against Our Founder's Principles!
trump has DECLARED WAR against Our Constitution!
trump has DECLARED WAR against Our Rule of Law!
TRUMP MUST BE STOPPED !!!
AMERICA !!! TAKE TO OUR STREETS !!!
I'm embarrassed at what they've done to America. We've gone from world leader to world laughing stock. What's happening is far worse than I ever expected.
From Europe, what we saw from Vance was really embarrassing. I think itβs been a very good wake up call for our EU leaders who did not get it well until now.
We hope Vance and team will not interfere in our European business! Hopefully!!
Trump/Musk want to shut down everything to make every American absolutely completely dependent on the government (after shutting everything down) so they can sweep in and βsave the day. This makes them seem like heroes in the long run. I think this is their plan.
Iβve been embarrassed to be an American the 4 years that orange face held office and again now. But this time Iβm also weary. Is this felon going to assist the Federalist who want the Constitution dismantled to their sole advantage. I think so
YES! Those fools and making America look bad! I wish they knew that there are some normal human beings here that DO NOT agree in with anything they are doing!
Iβm ashamed!
I have Canadian family & they blame me for trump! I told them I voted for Harris!
So I canβt park in front of their house. - my license plate will make the neighbors talk. We went through this before.
No. Wrong question. I will NEVER be embarrassed to be from the same country as Frederick Douglass, Thurgood Marshall, John Marshall Harlan, Ulysses S. Grant, Martin Luther King Jr., Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Jackie Robinson, Arthur Ashe, Harry S. Truman, etc. Some Americans embarrass me, however.
Conservatism is a cancer. We are at the Stage 4 cancer stage, also known as metastatic cancer stage where the country slowly destroys itself from within.
Narcissistic sociopaths create chaos.
Narcissistic sociopaths cannot lead or govern.
Narcissistic sociopaths use their 'charm' to game the economic, educational, and social system.
Narcissistic sociopaths lie, cheat, and steal.
Narcissistic sociopaths are the Goebbels Operational Platform (GOP)
Embarrassed by my neighbors, family, ex friends, some of the legal system and by a whole lot of politicians. I am not embarrassed of myself. I am proud to be an American that isn't supporting the FOTUS, MAGA, Christian nationalist.
When Trumpβs face was plastered across wrestling, MMA, and The Apprentice, it became clear for many that entertainment had overtaken actual leadership qualities.
29 years in uniform during which I've seen my country do some wonderful things and some really terrible things, but never have I been this embarrassed to be American
I am embarrassed to belong to a country where the ill informed, the incels, and the intolerant racists have allowed an oppressive oligarchy to gut everything to further enrich themselves as they bleed this country like the easy marks we are.
I am not embarrassed as that would somehow have something to do with my actions. I am outraged with the spineless members of congress that is allowing this criminality and destruction of our country to go in impeded. It is pathological!
I donβt want to be what we were. I want my country to be better. The immediate issue is getting these fuckers out, but the probs that led us here are still here. We have to be better or we remain vulnerable to totalitarianism.
Thatβs right. Thank you for acknowledging this. He didnβt get a majority vote. Over 50%of us voted for someone else. He still ended up with way more votes than I thought he would.
We all have stereotypes of other countries - it's a fun way of taking the piss.
The only good thing trump has done is to dispell a negative - to show the world that there are proper good Americans - those who don't support the orange rapist.
Well as a Canadian, I know that not everybody votes for him, but damages will be immense and will stay for longue. We donβt hear a lot of democrats talking. Scary time.
Many of us are sad and angry. We are trying to figure out how to maneuver through the trash thatβs being dumped dailyβ¦ losing people, who were once friends of ours, along the slippery, slimy slope.
Not sure reciprocal sanctions would work - a trade war is what trump wants and would give him justification for his more physically aggressive desires -i.e. Greenland, Ukraine.
An EU/UK/Canada (with Australia and NZ perhaps) realignment might be best - in effect ending trade with America.
Just to be clear you want to hurt him more than you want our country to be better? Thatβs like hoping a bird hits your plane because the person next to took your armrest
No not at all! Im thinking with sanctions South Africa had to end apartheid. The world can help us and our country by not trying to appease or compromise with him. WW2 may have looked different if the world hadnβt initially legitimized Hitler
Yes I am! Never in my life have I been so embarrassed as I am now! Well, I am 57% Scots-Irish so maybe I can move to Scotland or Ireland? However, I am stubborn and I WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON AMERICA!
I never realized how many terrible people there are in this country. I donβt understand how people can celebrate the destruction of our government, innocent people being deported, trans rights being stripped away, & DEI removal. America isnβt the land of the free anymore.
No. Iβm dedicated to fighting for this country. This place my great great grandparents struggled to get to. I will not let them down. We are the Americans, the ones who love freedom.
He is hollow and small. A mere bastard on his best days.
No, I AM AMERICAN. We have 2 distinct sides now in the country. I refuse to be associated with the other side which is now The New Reich. We need to make that clear.
I'm more sad than embarrassed. The propaganda machine is so big at this point. It's made people essentially like exploited children. Half of them are too uneducated to see what's happening, and the other half is so focused on capitalism and money they no longer care. Our people are lost.
Comments
There's been some periods of pride...
Like when I was a child and thought my heritage meant something. Coming over on the Mayflower, like I did it, myself.
I'm not a child, now. I know about Sand Creek and internment camps. We were at war for decades.
So yes. Embarrassed.
I am appalled, angry and heartbroken now.
Not giving up though.

Harris is a huge hope and I want her back!
Unfortunately the worries are greater than the embarassment.
1) Making it worse, or,
2) Doing nothing to make it better.
Maybe it's just being Canadian that makes me think this way.
I am embarrassed of our current un American leadership.
We have zero standing as a leader or an ally in the world.
And may I quote Churchill for the other, less sensible Americans?
"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter."
"Never forget" right?
Who stepped up and helped so many Americans on 9/11?
Canada
Trump has taken a knife & plunged it into that friendship

I'm ANGRY about what trump is doing to it!
But now, it's like watching trailer trash first vacation to London.
So let that sink in.
Iβm embarrassed of the Oligarchy it has become.
Im embarrassed of all the politicians that are currently in power are not even fit to in such positions.
Im embarrassed that many donβt know the constitution.
We hope Vance and team will not interfere in our European business! Hopefully!!
+We feel very sorry for the good US guys.
I have Canadian family & they blame me for trump! I told them I voted for Harris!
So I canβt park in front of their house. - my license plate will make the neighbors talk. We went through this before.
I hope weβve been warned enough and are ready to fight.
All the best to you

Iβm embarrassed by how millions of Americans have traded critical thinking for social media headlines and reality TV spectacles.
Itβs not just embarrassing; itβs terrifying.
Yes I am
I am embarrassed to belong to a country where the ill informed, the incels, and the intolerant racists have allowed an oppressive oligarchy to gut everything to further enrich themselves as they bleed this country like the easy marks we are.
The only ones who should be embarrassed are the ones who voted for this administration.
We know who the enemy is in America - and it ain't you.
Iβd like to request UN intervention regarding our losses of human rights.
We all have stereotypes of other countries - it's a fun way of taking the piss.
The only good thing trump has done is to dispell a negative - to show the world that there are proper good Americans - those who don't support the orange rapist.
Just remember, you have millions of friends around the world who will support you even if we can do nothing practical.
It will get better - the problem is it'll get worse first.
An EU/UK/Canada (with Australia and NZ perhaps) realignment might be best - in effect ending trade with America.
Labour/Lib Dems/Greens/ most tories all despise trump.
Only diehard reform plc types like him - and they're the lowest of the low.
trumpsters don't realise it but they're a laughing stock!
He is hollow and small. A mere bastard on his best days.
