Tough to have to play to Trumps ego , when we know he’s not smart , not intelligent, and not smart enough to to realise how stupid he is:(

I’m a Canadian and no fan of Prime Minister Trudeau. It’s unfortunate the best speech he ever gave was after he resigned as Prime Minister. What he has said in this speech is absolutely true, despite the fact, I think Trump is doing some good things for the USA. This Terrif war with your neighbour is stupid. Unfortunately for us in Canada our Prime Minister has not given us the tools and freedom to grow economically and prosper the way we should have. Canadians should be living like Kings, but unfortunately are living paycheque to paycheque because of the stranglehold that our Prime Minister has put on businesses and its citizens. Now Canada has very little leverage, I believe to fight this Terrif war. Canada has become a pure Cradic nightmare, like the previous administration in the United States were overtaxed over regulated and spend money like drunken sailors on stupid things that don’t help us grow and prosper.

This is stupid decision by USA

Donald is sleeping with the enemies and making war with friends! He certainly lost his mind, CRAZY, STUPID, and A CERTIFIED INSANE !!

We the American people don,t want this either! It,s out stupid Republican government!!

Donal turumpun is very stupid American men no good for nothing why American people vote for crap welcome to America

Wow, what an intelligent speech from Mr. Trudeau! (compared to the orange, stupid, crazy old man's liars).\nWe stand with Canada and Ukraine. Sorry, American people! We boycott all kinds of American products: NO Tesla, NO vacation in the USA, NO Apple, NO Netflix, NO Lewis, Nike, McDonald, Coke...

As a Canadian living in Alberta, this embarrassment does not speak for the majority of Canadians. Rob Ford is an idiot, and David Eby is stupid as well. Please stop listening to them

As usual, trump is playing to his MAGA base. He's pretty good at manipulating public sentiment. But he sure as hell isn't qualified for ANY public office, let alone POTUS. Sadly, the majority of my fellow americans have become so stupid that they don't even comprehend what's happening.\n\nI'm in my 70s, and have witnessed decades of cooperation between Canada and the US. This is a supremely disappointing development.

Because the ill-mannered, impudent, stupid Donald has pissed everyone off. With his Nazi friends.

America has been doing that with China. US Government is stupid. \nAmerica should not do business with a Communist country..

Trump is horrible and stupid.

All of this is Trumps fault. Target RED states Canada, this is the only way stupid MAGA will understand. Stabbing your allies in the back is how you become a target. Orange moron doesn't get it.

There is no way America can survive four years of Trump. Both Trump and his yes man Vance need to be removed from office now. Damn shame that I think I could do a better job running the country--just not be stupid and ignorant.

Trudeau is wrong. Trump isn't a smart guy. He's got a criminal's cunning. He knows how to shake down a sucker. But he is dismally stupid and ignorant and a constant liar. He is undoubtedly allying himself with Putin and other criminal dictators. BLOTUS: Biggest Liar Of The United States. Imbecile-In-Chief. And a traitor to the western world.

He's a convicted felon hello please excuse my French but are you stupid death or blind or D all of the above When Donald pulls his final stunt don't be stupid death or blind put him at not with everybody else amen blessings to all

It's ironic that America declared independence from a mentally ill English King, and now Americans have put a mentally ill King in the White House. Americans are sooo stupid as a nation. Why? Because they voted in this mentally ill king. \nRIP America. \nTRUMP IS MENTALLY ILL. American needs to get out of its denial about Trump's mental state! Wake up you dumb bozos! Wake up! .

We have a stupid person as president

Trump has turned our friendship with Canada into a stupid, embarrassing fiasco. What is the benefit for the people? That's right, none. I am proud of Prime Minister Trudeau. That's correct, I hang my head in shame because I am from the USA.

And we’re bringing are factory’s back stupid

Canada! Why doesn’t your president sound incredibly fucking stupid?! Jelly….

Blistering? Lol. Okay! Nobody cares what this tool has to say. He's out at the end of this month! Canada will lose this battle every time. Good job CNN. You just made yourself look stupid again! You guys are good at that

I want to move to Canada now. As an American I have never seen anything so stupid than what our president did. I am 1/2 Canadian and shock at what is happening to our friends up north. This was a great speech and I am very impressed with what they will do to help their fellow citizens.

It's not about the drugs its how stupid Trump is

That's what happened when stupid people are allowed to vote

this isnt stupid at all, Trump has vested interests, it could be short sales of commodities, metals, stocks, derivatives in markets in the affected tariff countries.These investments will be carefully veiled to avoid detection by the SEC, however, he's not stupid, he is incredibly selfish. And republicans apploauding and justifying his behavior, saying he deserves the nobel peace prize should be ashamed to call themselves Americans. There is a special place in hell for those that stand neutral in times of moral crisis, but most republicans are shamelessly bootlicking this new world Nazi and his deviant lackey JD Vance. From selling Bibles to Bitcoins, Its pretty apparent Ukraine rare earth potential is probably the reason Putin and Trump have aligned.

Americans: remember what it's like to have a smart person for president. Cohesive speech, no bullying, no name-calling, no stupid analogies, no n4z1 billionaires making all the decisions...

This feminine man is a joke! Shame on CNN to give him air time. He is so stupid that he doesn’t understand that whatever he increase in tariffs, will be added to the tariffs imposed.

Trump and his band of morons are all deeply stupid.

It doesn't matter what Canada or Mexico does, the Orange Moron in Chief will just make up another lie. He still thinks he's a corrupt New York City Developer. If I wasn't sure if Trump was a Russian asset before, I am pretty sure now. How stupid do you have to be to support this idiot.

I think US should become the 4th territory of Canada. Putin, you can have drump and elon and their stupid dogs.

This is what happens when stupid people think they’re smart. #DumpTrump

Stupid ppl in the gov

congratulations Trump on trying to force manufacturing companies to come back to the US while at the same time making sure they have no one to sell to!!! Republicans are ridiculously stupid!!!!!!¡!!!!!!!!!

Imagine voting AGAINST your own interest…\n\nIf it wasn’t so stupid, it would actually be funny ????

Donald isn’t a smart man. He’s a stupid man a narcissistic man. I wanna be dictator and a complete a hole.

No no no. Not the United States, TRUMP! launched a stupid trade war

hey stupid... it's not a trade war. it's a demand on you.

Awesome ? you just brought on retaliatory tariffs. Stupid move.

EXACTLY, Justin is polite and friendly! Donald is stupid and dumb, VERY DUMB!!

Stupid Ttudeu, you think how to take care of your nation, we will take care of our own.

I am an American and our current President is not only stupid, but he's also insane and demented.

What happened to the 2018 nafta trade deal ?\nDonald hopes everybody is stupid and will.forget about it.\nDonald is a crazy sick assholre .\nHe is a nut ??

Well all you mega people, can you see what stupid Trump is doing to our country with these tariffs, he is giving our country over to Putin, Republicans WAKE UP NOW, shame on this administration, we the people need to take to the streets and protest this idiot and get him out of office impeach this idiot asap.

Everyone in this comment section is so stupid. \n\nThis guys was supposed to step down??

Yes, we will be hurt. There is not a problem with the American people, but there is a problem with the American government. We will stand with you against trump's robber baron policies.\n At the same time, We Will support our nation and fellow Canadians through these 'stupid' times.\n With thanks, from British Columbia ??

Canada will find other markets for their products and the US will have to scramble. This is such a stupid, stupid shame. Stupid people voting for stupid leaders doing stupid things. I'm sorry, Canada.

I feel sorry that real leaders have to deal with our ? 8 year old idiotic stupid president.

What an outstanding leader Justin Trudeau is….and has been on the world stage and at home for many years. I hope he does not step down from politics or not seek re election as Leader and withdraws his resignation letter. This action s exactly what Trump needs to hear and bring him down to earth but then Trump is a puppet for Maga and Putin. Trump had no real brain it is others leading him along and he is too stupid to see that the King is not wearing clothes. Trudeau has spelt it out with clarity.

Furious about Traitor Trump threatening our Canadian friends and planning to buy Canadian wherever possible to undermine his stupid tariffs. ? ??❤??
