USA has now been renamed to dumfukistan. Trump will go down as the dumbest dictator in history

Sorry about this, Canada. Trump's trade war is one of the dumbest things ever.

Justin don't take it personally because Donald Trump has one vile purpose which is solely to dismantle institutions and destroy the US. Re-electing was the dumbest thing Americans could've done and the whole world will feel it. We're embarrassed for him!

I think it's wrong with United States doing. Bowling in Canada.. what's the dumbest thing he can do to our neighbor Canada that's been with us for many years had our backs and War and hard times in our history. I just think it's wrong what they're doing to Canada.. Donald Trump is very stupid..!!

It's good to see the Canadian Prime Minister confronting Trump in this way. But I think he should stop lying. Trump is NOT intelligent. Trump is an imbecile. Trump is as dumb as a rock. Trump is a moron. All you TV commentators, and other world leaders need to stand up and start telling the truth. Donald Jessica Trump is possibly the dumbest person on the face of the earth today.

People are still trying to grease Donald Trump's ego by referring to him as smart. A teacher who taught Trump is noted to have said that Donald is the dumbest student he taught.

Trump is the dumbest and evil person in the history of America

This situation is far worse for Canada than for the U.S. Trudeau knows this. History is being made. I would say this will be viewed either as one of the smartest political moves by a U.S president, or perhaps one of the dumbest. Time will tell. One thing I would say is never underestimate president Trump. Every time he has been undermined, underestimated, and disregarded he has came back on top. Welcome to 2025

Trump smart????? LMAO!!!!! Trump speaks and writes at a 3rd-7th grade level according to language and writing analysis experts. He's had so many typos and grammatical errors in his social media posts it would be laughable if not for the fact he's the President of the USA. It's not a mystery the dumbest people in this country voted for him.

He's right about everything, except when he said Trump is a smart guy. Not only is he not smart, Trump is in fact the dumbest president in American history.

Trump is the dumbest president ever.

Vance, Musk and Trump = Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest! Make them go away! Trump belongs with his buddy Putin.\n??????

Trump is not the dumbest US President of all time... He is the dumbest leader of ANY country of ALL TIME... Meanwhile he is filling his pockets with his market manipulation.

Evil trump is the dumbest president in the U.S history, \nThis idiot doesn't understand the economy and foreign policy \nIncompetent, ignorant vulgar pig

I FKNG HATE TRUMP AND MAGA!!! He is the dumbest president in our history and a clinical narcissist. I’m so ashamed to have this idiot as a president and his @ss kissing goons.

I just saw a cnn reporter in geargia they are some the dumbest people I ever heard no wonder Trump wins Maga are dumb fuckers

I wouldn't go as far as to say Trump is a smart guy!!! This was one of the dumbest things he's done and there's been plenty!!!

Trump compared to every last world leader isn’t even close. Imagine Trump sounding anything like this or speaking with such eloquence. Our President has to be the dumbest person on earth

Donald Trump is dumbest president ever

Trump is not a smart man. In fact, he is one of the dumbest humans to walk the earth. Facts matter.

Born a liar always a liar this is who trump is and he will continue to liar to the dumbest Americans who believes whatever he says. What a dumbest tariff decision!!!

I wish he, and every politician spoke this clearly, succinctly and truthfully all the time\nExtremely well put. This is truly the dumbest trade war in history, and I curse whatever moron first whispered about the scourge of tariffs in Trump's ear.

I can respect the flattery because that is all trump responds to... But he is FARRRRRRRR from a very smart guy. He is one of the dumbest people I have ever seen on the national and global stage

Trump is very talented doing “ a very dumbest thing to do”. ?

Trump is playing 4D Chess calling out the world’s dumbest leaders first. Then he will let them bury themselves just like Zelenskyy and this Canadian Wanker.

The dumbest guy in charge of a country Donald Trump!! A simple Puppet

Simply, dumbest little man in history. Trump has the biggest little man syndrome I’ve seen.

Musk ideas for Trump to do the dumbest thing...??

Damnit! I hate that we have the dumbest presidents Elon tRump Vance

That makes Donald Trump the dumbest person to ever occupy the Oval office in history. What a shame!!!! I am proud of Justin Trudeau.

This is exactly what Trump wants to destroy America!!!! to bring on techtocracy or maybe just to make his allies in Russia happy.. It's either that or he is the dumbest president in American history... I've never understood why anybody thought that he gave a damn about anybody but himself or was capable of doing anything that would benefit the American people. But here we are.. there was voter suppression at the very least. It's hard to know what to believe about all that. But I do know many people regardless voted for him. 30% did not vote. Which I do understand. As there is a genocide happening.. but at this point, I have to believe that even amongst the majority of his supporters he is not supported by the majority, major majority of the United States. The republican Congress has shown their true colors of being anti-constitutional . But they are redeemable. Do the right thing if you are in government if you have any power at all, stand up. And for the rest of us, Americans including the ones that voted for Trump let your voices be heard. Before we become something similar to Russia. And I go to prison for this comment.

Trump, Vance and musk and the congressional R are all the dumbest in our nation. The majority of Americans agree with you and Zelenskyy. May god bless your country and deal with the fools R politicians of USA.

The WSJ could not be more wrong about felon trump being a smart individual. He has shown time and time again that he is the dumbest person to ever sit in the White House. trump knows very little about business, communication, tact, generosity, and kindness. trump is all for trump. It's as simple as that. trump hates America, and sides with a war criminal, a dictator, and murderer. Save America. IMPEACH trump NOW!

Man I can not stand trump... I do not get what people where thinking voting him back in.. this is the dumbest thing to elect a man that's so much in to being a Putin puppet.... but what can ya do.. I cant afford to move somewhere else...

Can I move there, I am a 73yr old female that have never seen such craziness and I am ashamed, of how the hatred and inhumane EVIL treatments of Trump and all his Supporters. I see DUMB, DUMBER, AND DUMBEST!!!!

Wharton School of Business professor William T. Kelley — “Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had”

Trump is not a smart guy. He one of the dumbest.

Trump is a very, very silly individual. His reasoning is unfounded completely. This is the absolute dumbest move Trump could ever implement. As a nation Canada can diversify and obtain new trading partners. Asia and Europe are already negotiating with us to purchase our oil and gas etc..

this is time when American nation have to show the World they won't stay with Trump's dumbest economic and external politic

This is the dumbest timeline all thanks to Trump

It was nice of Trudeau to call Trump a “very smart guy”. He’s not. He’s one of the dumbest people to ever be in politics.

I am a French Canadian. I did not hear it From Trudeau in English but I heard it in French, the real reason of the economic war is annexation. Fentanyl, immigration was just a Casus Belli. Trump want to put us on our knees and beg to join the US. We will have federal elections soon and we know that Trump will try to influence the outcome of the elections like Chine, Russia or India. We know has Canadian that USA is not a friend anymore. Trump is the dumbest of American President of the history of USA. Americans citizens get rid of Trump and Vance before it is too late.

What a true speech by this amazing leader of Canada. What Trump did is the dumbest thing to do against Canada.

I’m sorry but calling Trump smart is the dumbest thing that was said in that speech. Trump is anything but smart, he’s the dumbest President the states have ever had.

Trump is the dumbest one ever! ???

Trudeau spoke the truth — except when he said Donald Trump is a smart man.\nDonald Trump is one of the dumbest people on earth. He only benefitted from being elected by even dumber people.

I am glad Trudeau called Trump dumb ?. Indeed, Trump is the dumbest. I wish we had a leader like Trudeau.

Trump is NOT a smart man, he is the dumbest person to ever occupy the White House and he is destroying our country and all relationships with our allies. He is a traitor and a fool and what Trudeau is doing is the correct response to a rabid dog biting its friends.

Maga to really feel it now with these tariffs. The rest of us will suffer too, but red states it's going to be worse. You notice he had to sprinkle in a little compliment to trump calling him smart. The world knows trump is the dumbest president we have ever had. that man won't read.

Sorry to our closest ally. Trump, the dumbest president in American history, doesn't represent majority of americans. He is a bully and a coward. I'm sure a lot of his supporters have regretted they voted for him. They are feeling the pain and perhaps lost their jobs, too. This moron is 100 percent lunatic.
