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

Smart man but a dumb ass ??

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? ?

Trudeau lied\nDonald is not a very smart guy

THANK YOU PM Trudeau! As an American who grew up on the Detroit/Windsor border, I love our Canadian friends. And it hurts my heart to see what’s happening right now between our countries. I HATE this administration. I have never once voted for the man who sits in the Oval Office right now. But I will respectfully disagree on one thing with you - that man is not a very smart guy. Otherwise, if he were - this would not be happening!! Bless you Prime Minister. ??

Don't call donald smart, he's no where close to being smart and we all know it.

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

One country has a Prime Minister / Leader and the other country has a orange moron who is NOT a smart man.

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.

Ah Trudeau - Donald is nothing like ‘smart’. Kick the big bǔffoon while he’s down.

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.

That’s a nice thing to say cuz I don’t think there’s anything smart about him.

putin & donnie plan to coordinate a takeover starting with the US (which donnie has already initiated). Thank you PM Trudeau - you and others please keep standing up to him because our own representatives are cowards who choose power, prestige, privilege and profits over their constituents. donnie has already bowed down to putin. donnie has missed the fact that fentanyl is smuggled in via container ships from china along with mailed packages and trucks from Mexico. Agents can inspect at the borders until the cows come home but smugglers will always come up with new ways to hide contraband. Oh yeah, donnie is NOT a “very smart guy”. The WSJ is wrong on that point. Don’t feed his ego.\nStay strong Canada ❤

We stand with you, Prime Minister Trudeau. We love you. I will not buy one Fuck1ing USA product. I will not go to visit my ailing sister in the USA. I am done with the USA until smart ass Americans get their vote right!!

Justin, I don't believe you said he's smart. Are you freaking kidding me? You lost me there ,wow !!! An infant is smarter than him by far ?????????????

Smart move Canada, you tried very hard to work with an idiot but he cannot be trusted. I have only one question, will Canadians consider accepting America as one of its provences as we would have so much more to gain under your government not to mention the much better character of Canada's people

Canadian are very smart people and they will prevail in this fight. They are mostly bilingual from childhood and this is additional advantage. As a rule multilingual countries doing better then other countries.

Getting a good speech writer doesn't make you smart person. He has done nothing for Canada. \nHeadline hogs

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.

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.

He is definitely NOT smart!

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.

WHY would Trudeau call #rump smart? #rump is a moron! He can't read or spell

Donald you are a smart man but this is a dumb thing to do sounds like sugarcoating to me lol

Wow, articulate strong talk, no lies, no propaganda, no bluster, none of the total and complete unrelenting bullshit we have endure on a daily basis from the sociopathic delusional asshole that currently occupies the White House. It should be no surprise that our leadership chooses to blame all of our problems on someone else, because that's exactly what they do every day. We have a drug problem, it's because of Canada and Mexico. We have an immigration problem, likewise Mexico and Canada. We have a deficit problem, that's because of the EU and NATO. Our problem is our government, specifically Republicans who won't accept the simple truth: you want to solve problems you have be disciplined and smart. You have to spend money to fix your problems instead of blaming some else and trying to get them to pay for it. You pay to solve your problems instead of giving huge tax cuts to people who don't need them. You stop lying to your people. You want to change the trade imbalance? Build products that other countries want at a price that makes sense. The EU has no laws that prevent American car manufacturers from selling their cars in Europe. American car companies make shitty cars. They make cars that are too big, that don't make sense for European where streets can be very small and gas is very expensive. The US manufacturers don't make a single small car in thos country that can compete with European cars. US agricultural products are laced with poisonous chemicals that are outlawed in the EU because they kill people. Our governmeent doesn't give a shit about that because to grow healthy food means you have to cut profits, almighty dollars, instead of grow things that the rest of the world will accept. We have an idiot for president who thinks he knows more than anyone else and an idiot party that won't tell him the truth. This is going to cost us big time. We are going into recession, probably a long one because we don't have real leaders and the president on his best day is nothing more than a reality TV personality, and not a very entertaining one at that.

Stop calling Trump smart, please, and thank you.

The Canadian PM is so nice to call Trump smart ?

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

Trudeau did lie in his speech, he called Donald 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….

Please all Canadian's, vote for him so he can finish the job. He's smart and sticks by you all. We don't have that here

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.

The only untrue statement in the speech was calling Donald smart.

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.
