Trump is a conman. Not a smart businessman. Putin wanna- be. He has very low self-esteem. Only such people bully others. Trump's only agenda is to annex Canada any which he can. Invade the beautiful country for its resources and destroy it with his greed. Trump has betrayed America.

Trump is not a very smart guy.... unless you compare him to a 3 year old child!!!

I really don't see where Trump is a very smart guy he is very stupid and dumb not Smate. We are Canadian, and we will stand strong and together ??????????

I disagree that Trudeau called Trump as being smart, far from it.

Canadians are polite but also smart. They are not going to be duped by trump and republicans.

His only mistake was saying Trump is smart lolll i support Canada

He made one mistake. Trump is not smart at all. They don't come much dumber.

Why does Trudeau need to bullshit Trump by saying that he is a smart guy. He should speak the truth and call him an a- hole

There is only one thing he got wrong trump is not smart he’s dumber than rocks, I stand with Canada ??

Don’t call Trump ‘smart’. He has the IQ and temper of an 8 year old.

tRump smart? ?

Preach it brother Trudeau! Not all Americans stand with tRump, vAncy, or mUsty! They could care less about our friends and allies! They care about only themselves, and how much money they can grift from everyone! I disagree with one of your points. He is NOT a smart guy.

Trudeau is very very wrong. Trump is not a smart guy at all.

I disagree with one thing: Trump is NOT a smart guy.

I disagree with Trudeau. I dont think Trump is a smart guy! Or maybe the billionaire's wanna crash the stockmarket and buy cheap before removing all tariffs and seeing the market rise again.

The prime minister should not call Trump a very smart person, but what he is in fact. A dump, arrogant, egocentric criminal. His constant lies need to be exposed and publically corrected. Maybe if enough people do this publically it will drive Trump so crazy and he will react so crazy, that even his most loyal minions will realize they will need to get rid of him!

Please do not categorize Americans with trump administration the smart sane Americans never agree with Trump the biggest shit show in the world

How can he say Trump is a very smart guy? Trump is lower than pond scum.

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.

You had one things wrong Mr.Trudeau: Trump is not a smart man.

Who said Trump was smart ?

America , this is what a leader looks like, eloquent, smart, literate, honest. Not what you have skeaming, liar, treasonous, preditor and criminal. \n\nWhy republican voyers cannot see this disgusts me. If you cant see what damage he is doing. You are whats wrongbwith America , and you have no right to call yourself a patriot as you brought your own nations to its knees. Trust me America will fall under Trump and Vance.

Why on earth did he have to say that Trump is a smart man? Trump is an idiot and the world knows it.

Trudeau is absolutely wrong....Donald Trump is not a smart man in the least.

Gotta disagree w/ Mr. Trudeau on one point, when he says Trump is 'very smart'--NO. Otherwise, Trudeau's speech was spot-on, and I love and respect Canada even more now. Most of us Americans cannot be proud of our country; we are held captive by a wannabe dictator and his stooges who are self-serving, vindictive, and UNpatriotic! To gather some semblance of sanity, I am taking the family on a Canadian Rockies tour in late spring--am tempted to not return home again.

Sir, I appreciate it, but you ain't gotta explain or apologize that you didn't want this. Our US government has lost its mind. What's worse, all the people that voted for that lunatic were brain washed into thinking this mess is good. I can't feel bad for the ones that are already suffering from the consequences. I always wondered how people fall for cult leaders. I know trump ain't a cult leader cuz he ain't that smart. He's a pedo throwing hissy fits and married to a porn chick, has a self-proclaimed couch screwer assistant, and he's leaning on the help of another idiot benefiting from government money, all the while imploding our government processes. This sucks.

Stop calling Trump smart, please, and thank you.

The Canadian PM is so nice to call Trump smart ?

Trudeau needs to understand he is dealing with a bully & a liar, he mentioned a quote of Trump being a smart guy making a dumb decision, there is nothing smart about Trump, you can’t reason with dictators….

I stand with Trudeau but Trump not smart!

This is the very beginning of the United States fall. this seems like Tyler Perry TV show the oval. Trump is trying to enslave the American people by disassociating other countries so the American people won’t have anywhere to run. He’s trying to be like Putin a dictator. Trump has to go. He’s not a smart businessman. He’s not for the American people.?????

Love you Trudeau but Trump IS NOT a smart man.

How many fuckin excuses and explanations this guy is making to defend his country....even now he is kissing trump ass calling him a smart man ???...pathetic

If he can't read, I don't think the term, smart, applies to Trump.

From Arkansas, USA, i firmly and proudly stand with Canada. And on behalf of all those too simple to see whats been happening and what is happening, i wholeheartedly apologize. Though he didnt have to lie to trump and tell him hes a smart man ? we all know thats not true

Donald Trump and smart doesn't match.

Donald Trump? A very smart guy? That’s fucking hilarious.

One lie. Trump is not smart. Morally he's an idiot There are many mammals with higher values. Parrots are more articulate and honest.

It makes me ashamed that respectable allies have to lie and say Trump is a smart man...

how dare this guy to call trump a smart guy

He called Trump a very smart guy without laughing! I would not play poker with him.

Trump is not a smart guy. His full name is Donald Dumb.

Trump POOR HUNGRY DESPERATE PEOPLE ARE EASIER TO CONTROL. Just ask Kim un from N Korea. Trump said Kim is a SMART GUY

Make no mistake. . . Trump is after CANADA. Donnie, we are NOT your Louisiana Purchase. We are NOT your Alaska Acquisition.\n\nTrump thinks he is smart, and regardless of what Trudeau said. . . Smartness is measured by actions.

Calling Trump smart is a big stretch ?

Trump is smart?\n???

Describing Trump as smart, Trudeau is flattering him. There’s nothing remotely smart about Trump. He’s by far the stupidest, most ignorant and deranged president the US has ever elected. He’s crooked, corrupt and pathologically dishonest.

The Smart Americans are with you Canada and all Allies. trump & musk are a CANCERS that needs to be removed immediately , ****. Help US! ****

Trump is NOT a very smart guy, he's a clown, a conman, a criminal

CORRECTION PRIME MINISTER, GREAT SPEACH, BUT ONE ERROR. TRUMP IS NOT SMART. HE'S A HORSES ASS
