Your stupid ?? president is a Russian asset!

I agreed with everything Trudeau said, except when he said Trump is a very smart person. Stupid is what stupid does. Trump does stupid like no other. This is Canada's time to shine. We need our pipelines flowing to both the East and West coasts. It is time for Canadians to invest in Canada and cut our dependence on U.S. trade.\nAmericans need to start understanding, it is Americans who pay the tariffs. They are just a tax. It has nothing to do with the border, or drugs, or migration. This is a tax on the working class and the poor so the rich can continue to get 5 TRILLION dollars in tax cuts.

I didn't vote for Trump - all three times. Unfortunately, more than half of my countryman were either too stupid and/or too racist. The first Trump administration was not good. I fear that this time, it will be worse. Keep up the good fight, Canada!

Trudeau knows well Dump is fat and stupid.....not smart at all. He just didn't want to put that out.

Born in Europe, brought up and trained into my profession as a researcher, in France, in the UK, in the Middle East, in Africa, and having been a permanent resident of the USA for almost 25 years, I can state that I agree 100 with what Trudeau stated, with the exception of one little detail If Donald Trump is as Mr. Trudeau suggests, an intelligent man, than he is simply detesting all Americans... and if is able to prove me wrong than one has to accept that Mr. Trudeau is wrong in believing Mr Trump to be an intelligent man, because even a ten-year-old is understanding that this tariff war is truly stupid and will not only damage the economy but will further deplete the coffers of businesses that are essential to world growth.

This stupid fool refused to trade LNG with Europe and Japan. Now he just wants his name in lights one last time.

Are there still any Americans who want to stop this madness, or are they really all that stupid?

And putting 100 % taxes on Tesla would be a big weapon against stupid man Musk.

Oh he call Donald stupid! As he is

If tRump ever came back to say something , about what Prime Minister Trudeau is saying it would be something really stupid. tRump is destroying this country and we will never come back from this, ever.

It's not the American people who want this trade war, it's our stupid president.

This American, who's been proud to be one all his, life (but not so much these last few weeks)stands with Canada, Mexico, the UK, Europe, and the besieged Ukraine, and I do not support's authoritarian rule and and stupid, ego-driven economic wars with our neighbors and allies. Trudeau is what a real leader sounds like.

We know you don't want this Mr. Trudeau and our Canadian friends.\nUnfortunately, we have an Orange Coconut for president that was put into office by MAGA Coconuts and stupid/lazy democrats who either voted for him or did not vote at all.\n\nWe are in a stupor and really don't know what to do at this time.

The Stupid orange idiot doesnt deserve to be called President.

Trumps stupid but hes not that stupid surely? ? Why do I have a feeling that a great deal of items he's put tarrifs on will be coming from Russia soon and this has been the plan along. Just saying!\nIt just feels so contrived and I cant believe Trump hasnt got a go to! ?

trump is stupid.

Trump has no friends\nAnd now\nAmerica will have no friends\n\nWhat are friends for\n\nIt's the economy Stupid !\n\nReally ! ! ?

This is so stupid. I cannot believe we are in a trade war with Canada ffs. I stand with you Canada and Ukraine!

Trouble is, Donald Trump is NOT a very smart Guy. He is uneducated, is at times stupid and suffering from dementia.

A trade war in the 21st century is so regressively stupid??

This man is not stupid he’s playing The people acting as if he’s tough and trump is inlove with Russia cause that’s all they have to stand on . And if Canada keeps on you will lose this trade war, we are 70% of your GDP !!

Remove the Stupid orange idiot from office now!

Canada gets all my support. What the US is doing now is just wrong in every way.\nI just hope more and more americans will see how stupid this is going to be. Things are only going to get more expensive from this point forward.

That's how a reasonable, intelligent, moral, truthful head of state sounds. As opposed to the clinically insane, stupid, immoral, lying criminal Donald Trump. Why did you Americans elect this fascist idiot??

Thank you MAGA. You voted for this stupid circus.

Thanks to those in the u.s who voted for your orange pumpkin head president. \nYou are the embarrassing ones that make the u.s look incredibly stupid, you keep outdoing yourselves. Thanks for that, we all hope you catch the crabs.\n\n\n\nAnd many thanks to those who are in support of Canada. God bless you all!

@7:05:: He's using small words. Probably the best way to get through to the orange man,,, I'm not saying the orange man is dumb, but he is pretty damned stupid. A for effort... Let's see if it actually takes... Sadly, I doubt it...

Easing russian sanctions, then putting tarrifs to allies that makes stupid sense.

You now as i now , Donald, Europe is dum amateurs, and very stupid, Thy want atomic war.and tragedie.

Trump Vance Musk a Joke for this World. Split us more...lets go back to dark days...WE MUST WORK ALL TOGETHER THE WHOLE WORLD - AGAINST NOT WORKING.... HOW OFTEN IN 2000 YEARS STUPID MORONS MUST DO THE SAME SHIT AND HOPE FOR DIFFERENT OUTCOME - Take care, they wanna lower the values of companies, weaken them and then buy them cheap...tricky evil bad man Donald is. A friend of Putin, maybe Putin has something in his pocket against him...total unhuman.... pure world...thx US VOTERS wake up you vote for Devils of the Wallstreet

How does America have one of the worst presidents on the globe? At least the authoritarians are evil GENIUSES, Trump is evil and just stupid.

almost the whole world is laughing at us, I am now ashamed to be an American, my love for America is unfortunately being destroyed by a stupid government under Trump ?

The prime minister going to have his people suffer rather than protect the border the way Trump asked is stupid. Bend the knee and protect the border ?

STUPID TRUMP! STUPID. STUPID. STUPID.

Harsh... What HARSH language. you stupid reporter inflating nothing in to something.

? OMG Trump is beyond stupid. This is unbelievable ?

Yall Sound stupid AF talking about I’m with Canada and Ukraine! As a Black Woman I understand we have an issues. But It’s USA VS EVERYBODY! Get down or Lay Down!

when Trump president American is become to stupid America!?

Our truck was made in Canada, one of the best vehicles we have every had. It's almost 30 years old and still runs great with very few problems. We trust products from Canada. Stupid is as stupid does!

I voted for trump but i agree that this was a stupid move

stand your ground canada don’t let donald’s stupid ass walk over you

Make that make sense? Russia has nukes, your welcome. They said the guy was stupid wow....

Liberals are stupid

tRump is an idiot, no deal maker, no big brain, just a small petty loser. I am embarrassed by this president, he's not my president just Maga's president. Most Americans are ashamed of this stupid regime. Pray for us, we are going to need it.

this guy is a coward, calls Mr Trump stupid. Your dumb. Dont speak for us the people jackass

Canadian here. You Americans seem stupid. Trudeau is the worst leader we’ve ever had. He’s on his way out. He’s resigned. He’s a disaster. He doesn’t stand for freedom. Or freedom of speech. You people have no idea. Perhaps you could read a little bit more.

How refreshing to listen to an intelligent leader! i only take issue with him calling Trump a smart guy. Trump will never do anything but ridicule and insult Trudeau and Canada no matter what concessions Canada makes. The great thing is that Trump never had any kind of plan except to tariff the hell out of our former allies. Canada is very systematic about their tariffs against US. They are using a scalpel rather than a sledgehammer. Very smart against very stupid, childish, and undisciplined.

At first, reading the comments, I thought, who are all these stupid people, then I realized this is a CNN audience.

Trump looks as a stupid Dummy in comparison with the presidents of Canada and Mexico?

The fact that Trump won electoral and popular vote, proves that there are more stupid people in the U.S. than smart people. I myself did NOT vote for Trump. I really think stupid people don't know they are stupid, so there's that.
