Donald doesn’t care too much about facts , he just talks mostly BS and if he’s corrected will stamp his feet and have a big baby meltdown. The best current example is Ukraine. I will disagree with one of Justin’s points , Donny is not a very smart guy, he just says he is which is the last thing that smart people will say.

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

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

Trump smart... come on dude. The guy's a walking sub-Forrest Gump IQ who's lucky breathing doesn't require a functioning intellect.

Great speech but I take one exception, tRump is not a very smart guy!

Well, Trudeau is wrong about a couple of things: first, Fentanyl for medical use is a good medication (e.g. in emergency rooms). and second, Donald Trump is NOT A SMART guy. He is an idiot. Otherwise Trudeau is spot on. Can the US have him and get rid of Tronald Dump?

We stand with Canada.\nTraitorRump values only dictators as friends. He needs a big dinner of skunk stew. BTW, Rump is NOT a smart guy.

Trump a smart guy? Please, he's a grifting opportunist with numerous business failings. Smart is not it. More like privilieged nepo baby.

He is not a smart guy, just greedy. It’s what drives Trump, not his brain.

I will be buying Canadian. And I am an American. But everyone knows the Orange Menace is NOT a smart guy. Just a petty little Putin wannabe.

Trump's Speech: All He Heard Was Donald Is A Smart Guy

We know it's Trump's fault, this guy is an idiot. I still can't figure out how the orange clown felon was able to get back into office! The guy's barely literate, I honestly think any random 15 yr old could do better, he is *not* smart!

This made me laugh. ''This is some of the strongest language we have heard yet from the Prime Minister'' and ''He was using that harsh language'' ''All things that we have heard him say and maybe more nicer or friendlier terms before, but now your hearing a very direct harsh language from the Prime Minister'' Referring to Justin calling him by his first name and telling him he is a very smart guy but it's a very dumb thing to do. Really? mmmm Double standard ?

One thing i think is wrong. Trump is NOT a smart guy. Hes an idiot who shouldnt be in the position hes in.

There is one thing I will correct Trudeau on: donald is NOT a very smart guy. He is deeply ignorant both, intellectually & emotionally. \n\nAny fool can see that! He is deeply shameful & cruel!

A VERY SMART GUY!?!

Also Justin Trudeau didn’t think Donald Trump was smart he said he agreed with the whichever newspaper it was Washington Post I think that even though Donald Trump is a smart guy this was a dumb thing. I don’t think he really agreed with the part about Donald Trump being a smart guy. But he definitely agrees with this being a dumb thing. He just had to say thatto stroke Cheetos ego

I disagree with Trudeau on one thing he said, Donald is not a smart guy.

????? Donald, you are a very smart guy ???

Well he had to flatter Donald, for that works with him, but Donald is not a smart guy, and we all know it.

Fact check: donald is not a smart guy.

If CF Chump is a “very smart guy”, he hides it well.

Donald is not a smart guy. Bankrupted a casino and 5 other times.

It's news to me that Donnyboy is a very smart guy!

Donald a smart guy?!! Are u kidding me!!! He’s a freaking joke!! He’s destroying our country and our people and our allies and loving the dictators!! ?????

did he just say you're a very smart guy to Trump? ?

Good Speech and Plan. Canada, you are helping the people of the USA by helping to get Trump out of power. The sooner the better for us all. Just one nit -- Trump is not a very smart guy.

Trump is anything but a smart guy. Other than that: a very good speech.

Trudeau made one key factual error. Trump is not a very smart guy.

It is very hard to disagree with anything that the PM said EXCEPT saying, against all evidence, Trump is a very smart guy. Trump is so stupid he doesn't realize how stupid he is.

I only disagree with one thing he said (saying Trump is a smart guy lol).

A Canadian here - I disagree with Trudeau, trump is not a smart guy, I can't say what I want about the grifter-in-cheif, it goes against community standards.

The prime minister is wrong. Trump is NOT a smart guy. But he is doing what Putin wants - weaken the West.

I totally disagree with JT calling DJT a smart guy. LOL! I wouldn't call him anything else other than an absolute russian Trojan horse moron.

Great press conference ! The one dumb thing Trudeau said is : « Donald you are a very smart guy » ?

The Wall Street Journal is just being polite, the guy is not smart, he's a moron. I knew it ever since he went down the escalator.

One disagreement Mr Trudeau: Trump is “very smart guy”? Nope. He certainly is “clever” which is what delineates smart from “criminal con man”. Clever is what he uses for his grift, with American citizens and the national stage as his target market, to line his pockets along with the pockets of his cronies, the ultra rich. The bright note is that there is a huge collective of Americans who see Trump for what he is. We are NOT supportive of any of this nonsense since 1/20/2025. Musk/Trump/Vance are an embarrassment we did not vote for. We stand with Ukraine, Canada, and Mexico who echo normal reason.

It's so bad that you have to paint Trump's belly in order not to make things worse just because you're telling the truth.\n\nAnyway, I have a lot of respect for Trudeau, he's a REALLY smart guy. I wish we had him as chancellor in Germany, instead of Darth Merz Vader who unfortunately awaits us here for the next 4 years. But well, one look at the USA is enough to see that it can get much, much, much worse.

Smart guys don't make dumb decisions. Trump is not a smart guy.

Canada President was right about protecting his country, but his wrong about Trump, he not a smart guy….. he’s a Russian sympathizer trying to take over the world….. I’m embarrassed to have him as our president United States.

Come on, he’s definitely not a “smart guy” lol even his mother called him an idiot

With all due respect, you lost me when you said that trump is a very smart guy (he's actually a moron).

Yet, a majority of Canadians are so full of hatred themselves and want to replace Trudeau with a Trumper named Pierre Poilieve. This is how stupid people are all over the world, this is not just a US thing. The Trump propaganda forced Trudeau to step down for no real reason. He let in too many immigrants yes,,but so did every other world leader, thats it, but enough for the Canada Trumpers to throw away free health care. Trunpers in Ontario just won a landslide with Dictator Doug Ford.\nOnce Pierre Poilieve takes charge we will be paying for healthcare and a 51st state. \nCanadians are making the same mistake due to fake news and propaganda by Trumpers/Truckers. Those Canadians dont want free health care anymore, they want Pierre Poilieve's hate filled agenda over a smart well spoken guy like Trudeau. Just watch and see...Canada is about to f up bad..

A smart guy doing stupid things? Stupid is who does stupid things , right Forest?

I want him to be my leader…almost anyone but Trump.Trump isnt a smart guy, he’s a great conman

First smart thing that guy has ever done ....good job

When calling the orange a very smart guy he's talking to the toddler.
