I'm no admirer of Trudeau, but this was a great speech. (Can you imagine Donnie making a coherent speech like this? ?) but I disagree with him on one thing: Donnie is NOT a very smart guy. (Although I know why Trudeau felt he had to say that).

You give him way too much credit. He is NOT a very smart guy

Doesn't make sense to at least half of us Americans either. Please, sock it to him! And us! DT makes up all of this in his head. And NO, he is not a very smart guy!

Trump isn’t a “smart guy”. He’s president because the average US voter is very, very stupid.

So sorry Canada ?? , the best and only excuse we have here in the US is that the trump administration does not know what he or they of what they are doing. They are the worst administration in American history. And No, trump is not a smart guy at all. Sorry again, Canada.

Trudeau is wrong on one important. Yrump is not a “very smart guy”. He has the intellect, emotions and thoughts of a very spoiled, bratty and angry 11 year old. He wants to be a superhero, but is actually a Creature from the Greed Lagoon.

Canadian here. I agree with what our Prime Minister said except the part about Donald being a very smart guy. I guess he felt it necessary to say that to assuage DJT's huge ego.

Trump is not a smart guy.

I have to highly disagree with Trudeau, Trump is not a very smart guy.

Very smart Guy? lol

Trump negotiated the current North American Trade Treaty but he forgot about it and criticize himself. What a smart guy??. Now he is engaging in trade war with our allies. Putin is winning. Next will be ending sanction against Russia, breaking up NATO and selling out Ukraine.

Donald is not a smart guy

Smart guy, mexico ?? and Canada ?? strong .

Justin ,you need to turn off the electricity NOW ! Don't coddle the pos president. And by the way, Donald is NOT a smart guy and I won't insult a box of rocks with any comparisons.

I’m a U.S. citizen and I support the Canadian government and its people. And Trump is not a smart guy he’s a idiot

Trump is utter garbage. I respectfully disagree with PM Trudeau, Trump is not a smart guy, he is dumb shit.

One exception with what Trudeau said...trump is NOT a smart guy by any stretch ?

Hey Donald, that's what it looks like to be a real leader. Take notes! Donald Trump is such an embarrassment and no, he's NOT a smart guy.

Trudeau did lie once, saying that Trump is a smart guy. He’s a moron

You are half right sir, this is a dumb thing to do, Trump is NOT a smart guy.

I only disagree with one thing he said. Donald is NOT a very smart guy. But, I understand that this is intended to assuage the Goblin King's ego.

I’m sorry the guy we elected is smart, but does dumb things. This is going to hurt everyone.

I like Trudeau. He is a smart guy. The world is changing and we need to make new alliances. I also think that the US gonna leave NATO. We gonna fight for our freedom!

Trudo must be lying when he said that Trump is a “very smart guy.” Is Trump that stupid that he doesn’t even understand that he is stupid? I don’t think so. He understands that he’s a dumb block.

He said tRump was a smart guy?

Lost credibility when he said Trump's a smart guy ? ?

100% truth by Canada and Trudeau! Trudeau translation—Smart Guy = Smart Con Artist.

Donald Trump is an utter moron who is really doing this to show off his “power”.\n\nTrump is a “very smart guy”? Why dignify this ridiculous power trip?

I agree with everything Trudeau said...except for when he said Donald was a smart guy.

Agree with Trudeau here, and as a Canadian conservative, that’s not something I say easily. But let’s get real here. Trump is NOT a smart guy. He has cratered most businesses he’s started, he has no understanding of economics whatsoever and he speaks like a five-year old. Conversely, here in Canada and around the world (including many in the US who are voicing heir support here) we have A LOT of smart people and an enormous amount of good will, and we will persevere and overcome. Bring it MAGA!

Trump is not a smart guy. He one of the dumbest.

The only lie he told here is that Donald is a “very smart guy”.

Trudeau lied when he called don a smart guy.

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 ??????????

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

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. ??

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.

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

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 ❤

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.

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….

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

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

Donald, you are a smart guy. Very diplomatic. Actually, Donald, you are really dumb. Epic
