7:50. I have to disagree w M Trudeau and the WSJ. Trump is not smart and this a dumb idea. Trump is dumb and this is a stupid idea. And I find it hilarious the as soon as Trudeau starts speaking French, CNN cuts away.

It only took Trump less than a month to destroy our coward of a government!! THE ONLY thing Trump so called promised was to lower cost/eggs smh lol..so stupid ppl voted for him!! Now, most of them are crying!!! Stupidity of them to really think this man cared lol lol...Trump is/ will be running this country just like a BUSINESS!! Just like Putin does Russia. In his first election Putin tried to help Trump win, but it didn't go as planned . Now, Musk helped him win this election by way of tech support. So, now Trump owes Musk AND still owes Putin. Trump is paying off his debts by canceling America, OUT!!

Are usa citizens going to revolt against Spanky and the MAGA Mobsters,? Nah, usa citizens are too stupid to act in their own best interest.

Trump is a lier they sell more drugs than any body in this planet and we americans know that we are not stupid well only the ones that voted for him are hope everything goes up prices are already up but more so his voters can pay for the mistakes they did

Not a trade war, increasing taxes for their country. If you don't want to pay, buy somewhere else. United States is securing global peace by developing relations with Russia. Murderous dictator, America has blood on their hands invading other countries, same with Canada, my (stupid) country Australia etc. I thought this clown resigned.

Question; is Donald Trump STUPID ????????

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 ??????????

Stupid Dumb Trump ?

Electing Trumpet and his puppets was the most stupid thing Americans have ever done.

We understand. It's just not possible to work with STUPID!

As an american i do not hold you responsible,i hold the goof ball art of the deal stupid idiot and his moron believers responsible

As a veteran I find traitor trump's actions to Canada, Mexico as total ly stupid. His actions will hurt the American people more than we can imagine. Aligning with putin is treasonous, cause that's what traitors do.

?? is not smart; he is the most stupid president US has ever had.

This is beyond stupid. This will solve absolutely nothing except hurting everyone in North America.

Dear Canadians Im sorry that their (not my President) dementia ridden dipshit of a president. Started something he could not finish. I promise you not all Americans are like this. And not all Americans are stupid followers of his.

Will be bad if trump starts buying lithium from Russia. To help putting with his super stupid invasion of Ukraine. Republicans in the mid turn have to loose because they are minions saying yes to a villain

Trump is a Dictator. This will not end well. Most Americans are too stupid to realize it.

A dumb thing to do he's done a lot of stupid things that's mine the carbon tax to fuel tax house tax food tax Trudeau you've done a lot of bad things to Canadians

Very smart guy?! WTF. He's as stupid as they come. Anyway, it is so nice to see what leader is supposed to sound like.

Zelensky is a crooked thief he can’t account for money Biden gave him and he admitted it . Trump wants out of war and killings we don’t need another stupid war like the one u fought in the only war was would war 2 all others were money making for politicians so u fought for them

This is what usa put on the block when you that elected a stupid president again Donald dumb trump

Trump is so stupid and evil. This doesnt help ANYONE.

I fear Trump sets up this ecalating trade war in oder to justify military action / annexation of canada. As stupid as it sounds I wouldnt even be surprised any more.

Go Canada. Stick it to those stupid Americans and that tyrant.

Trump is doing dumb stuff after Obama trump biden trump again financially ruin their own country this is stupid

Putin’s puppet traitor us stupid. He is a criminal And so are Republicans and his voters .\n\nThis is all about his stupid tax cut for the rich

Hey Trudeau, I can take you up in anything at anytime, except when you assert Putin is a criminal. You fully know who pushed Putin into war with Ukraine and why. We’re not as stupid as you might think. So watch your mouth Mr. Prime Minister before you make any accusations against anyone. Thank you!

with freedom comes responsibility, with choice comes consequences.\nthis is what you get when you choose a treasonous scumbag for president. one false thing here is calling donald a smart man. i have never known of a smaller, more arrogant, more stupid, less qualified sad excuse of a man-child than the orange idiot. as a veteran commissioned officer of the united states of america, i, unlike our president, am bound by the oath i swore at my commissioning. i am ashamed of my nation for allowing a treasonous scum to sell our county

As a powerless American, I hope other countries will help curve Trump's madness/power kick. \n\nIt's embarrassing. He's destroying our economy, causing mass job loss, and just being played like a monkey by Musk, the Republican Party, and Putin. \n\nSeriously....I get his followers are either selfish rich people or ignorant barely passed highschool racists, but stupid/selfish is an excuse that only goes so far.

REPUBLICAN STUPIDITY REMEMBER AMERICA JAPAN ATTACKED US AS A RESULT OF TRADE WARS INNTHIS THE STUPID REPUBLICANS MAGA CULT PRIESTS ARE THE AGGRESSOR!!! INSANITY REPUBLICANS GSTH

That is how a leader speaks!! He was succinct, armed with actual facts, eloquent and effective…all that and he didn’t need to sell a stupid hat or crypto coin. It’s so embarrassing to be an American right now. We stand with Canada!??

The people that voted for Don the Con is just as stupid as him. Donald is dumb not smart at all. As a teacher, I've seen smarter fifth graders. Many, many smarter fifth grade students.

Trump is the worst. How can everyone not see this. Are people really that stupid? I guess so, but his supporters stupidity shouldn’t be at the expense of the rest of us.

Trump is a Rabid Animal and So is Musk. Canada, Ontario just over the border from me. I love Canada. Wish I could move there. They are an hour and a half away. They are not stupid like us. Fetanyl not as damaging as this lumatic Trump/Musk and his sycophsnts anialiating all allies. So ashamed. Oh Canada I love you.

That's the big point what Prime minister from Canada said , this is just what they want that the allies weaken and Trump traps in it , Al this years so many work to build strong Canada and USA is just in a second gone because 1 stupid Man and that's President Trump

Bro you’ve done nothing good, play stupid games win stupid prizes

Happy to see this from our prime minister, however as an voter i cannot ignore the last 8 years. Trumps 25% tariffs are stupid, hes right. But were paying more in carbon tax on everyday things comparatively.

Sure took stupid a long time ta figure this out,now get the border,.SOLID,TRUMPwill get theres fenced in soon enough perhaps.

You speak too Dumb and stupid to president trump, you will pay for the price

Yeah for Canada, to hell with Donald Trump. He is the most stupid person to ever occupy the Oval Office. He is a total disgrace along with the entire new republican party, they are Nazi Germany resurrected. It is a disgrace what MAGA has done.

There is only one thing the canadian prime minister got wrong. Trump is an ABSOLUTE STUPID MORON and that is the reason he does dumb moves like tariffs. Plus, trump is a criminal that should have been put in prison years ago

How dare you omit the fact that it’s our stupid president who is causing this? CNN is trash and has sold out disgustingly to the far right! How dare you?!

As an American I would love to put an end to this stupid trade war and get back on good terms with the Canadian people. But unfortunately I don't get to make the decisions around here.

Stupid tyrannical sob . Isn't this the same pos who took bank accounts of people donating to truckers protest ? Wow he's as delusional as Newsom

I am in tears every single day watching this administration do what they're doing....? I'm an American and I am proud of our country but I am not proud of what's happening right now In this administration? It's absolutely horrific undemocratic cruel Idiotic stupid ridiculous Narcissistic..... I am in tears watching this I can't believe this is happening?

It's about fair-trade Bozo's. CNN is so stupid!

American here and wish our president was as sensible as Trudeau, problem is Trump is too stupid and Elon is too rich and controlling the U.S. which makes running this country a total disaster!!!\n\nImpeachment is not a suggestion it’s needed and needed NOW!!!! Republicans in elected positions step up and quit letting this country get dragged down.

Haha Donald Drumpf is just plain stupid. The USA is going down! Soon Americans will will get poor and addicted to fentanyl. ?

Inflation is to the roof, Make food and housing affordable, please people just help impeach him, he is golfing while the american people are struggling everyday.... He is just trying to pass stupid laws that keep getting blocked by courts, Come on Trump supporters try helping fix it by calling your local office and impeach him, I bet anyone else is better than Trump, we know the country needs changes but we are still the biggest economy of the world the richest country, Why do we have to feel like is normal not to have affordable food and housing?? The basics of life... All the immigrants are gone, They even left by their own will, and Some Americans left to other countries, Mexico, Europe, Asia..... What do you guys want?? Having an empty country once was the biggest economy of the world?? Is just crazy even a blind person can see he is destroying the whole country..... He is not even a good business person we all know he didn't payed taxes, he went bankrupt so many times he knows how to scam people, Saying the USA government doesn't work because he feels like it, Just travel people so you can see the difference between usa government and other governments around the world........

Nothing Trump does makes sense. He’s an utter embarrassment. He’s making our country look like a backwards, oppressive, “pile of garbage”. If any MAGA bothered to research is life back to the 70’s and 80’s they’d find Trump was NEVER good at business. He was good at running them into the ground. He hasn’t a republican cell in his body. He doesn’t care which party or what ideology anyone is, so long as they’re naive and ignorant enough to buy his lies and bullshit. It’s just all about Trump. Everything he’s doing is contrary to making America great. Ironic that there are many so-called Christians who support him, when he fits the biblical description of the Antichrist a bit too well. It’ll take decades to restore America’s standing in the world, because that narcissistic, bloated, power-hungry, piece of shit wants to keep attention centered on him. He’s doing all he can to keep us stupid, and brainwashed, because anyone who’s intelligent, and has any level of critical thinking poses a threat. When will the orange Kool aid wear off?…and btw, I’m not a liberal. I’m not a democrat. I’m rational.
