Trump is just an rude, ignorant idiot. The only thing I disagree with him on is his claim that Trump is “a smart man.” No, he is not!! Apologies from the USA. Millions of us do NOT agree with Trump’s actions. What an embarrassment. No one will benefit from this. Trump is hell bent to align with Putin.

one big mistake from his speech. namely: trump is not smart. he is stupid. a narcissist who lies about everything. i realize he was being diplomatic but no one would call trump smart. trump is a moron. what else can describe a clown who goes bankrupt with a casino??

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

People have got this all wrong, first trump is not smart. 7:50 Trudeau is saying that canada and the US are friends, they are not, now that trump is in office. People keep framing this as friends of america. Trump is aligned with Russia, so everything you thought is the opposite now.

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

Trumps chosen and the idiots who voted for him chose to do this. We smart people who didnt vote for him are getting punished by his narcissistic sociopathic self. He doesnt even think about us who will be hurt by all this and only thinking about his selfish self because he cant have his own way.

Trudeau spoke the truth. Except for one thing. trump is not smart. He is the stupidest man to ever be president.

Trump is not smart. He is as dumb as a rock. An absolutely vile individual who will cause chaos and pain for US allies all over the world.

Why legacy news media still covers trump like he serious he so dump he makes a box of rocks look smart call it for what it is trump revenge tour

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

Wall Street Journal called Trump smart? What a load of manure\n\nDon the Con is the stupidest person on the planet, as are his followers

Mr. Trudeau, Donald Trump is not smart!!!! He is mentally unbalanced. Shame on those Americans who voted for him. You get what you deserve! Unfortunately, you drag me along with you. ?

Astonishing how those other 2 kept a straight face when Trudeau lied about Trump being very smart 7:47

Trudeau is a very nice person when call Trump “ you are smart “ , no he’s dumb as a rock!

Trump is not a smart man. He's a con man.

This isn't about fentanyl or the borders it's about Trumps desire to make money off tariffs so he can pay for tax cuts to his billionaire ass kissers while the first lady Musk is stealing money from government offices. Trump is not a smart man. Recently he said this was a bad agreement and who the hell signed this speaking about the last trade agreement with Canada and Mexico. Well it was you Dumb Donald. Nothing more than a child bully.\n This idiot thinks Zelensky is a dictator but refuses to call Putin a dictator WTF . He says Ukraine started the war, what a retarded scumbag. Good luck the next 4 years UST, United States of Trump.

Trumps a smart man?!? ?

He got everything right, apart from saying Trump was smart.

Trump is a bully and he wants everyone to bow down to him. Put the bwoy in his place. Hope many more countries do the same. He ain't smart he is as dumb as a nail

Most of us agree on one thing. Trump is not smart.

Thanks, Trump. Smart move!! ? \nLooks like Putin and Trump found each other! ??

I agree with everything PM JT said, except one thing: Trump is not a smart man (even by Florida standards).\n\nWe as Europeans should stand by our Canuck friends like they have stood with us! Sign a free trade agreement with Canada! They are steadfast, reliable, fierce friends. Uncle Sam clearly has brain rot.

? Canadian and i supported Trump then Kamla Harris and now i regret not a Smart move of Trump this will Hurt people both sides of the Border Canada will stand it's Ground and will take its Businesses to other part of the World ? Sad to see this Happened.

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.

Damn he is pretty, smart and strong, that's crazy hahaha...anyways, trump is Putin's puppet

Mr Trudeau, may my family and friends come live in Canada? None of us voted for this big, fat, orange, narcissistic a**hole and his psychotic sycophants. Trump is only going to double down on all the things that piss him off. Look, if Trump thought he could make a dollar off fentanyl, he wouldn’t be against it - it’s just that he doesn’t get any of the cuts. And by the way, I don’t think I’ve ever heard “smart” and “Trump” uttered in the same sentence without “not” being inserted between them. Trump is an idiot. I have visited Canada and it’s beautiful, unspoiled, and intelligently ran. PLEASE let us come! Most of us stand firmly with Canada, Mexico, and Europe. I have never been so embarrassed to be an American in 67 years of life.

I blame the American people who voted for Trump. I am going to disagree with Prime Minister Trudeau when he said Donald is smart, Donald is as stupid as they come. Everything this man touches he ruins. Great job MAGA ????‍♀️

He said tRump was a smart guy?

Donald Trump is not a smart man. He's a moron.

Trudeau lies! Trump is by no means 'smart' in any way whatsoever. I'd say he's as dumb as a rock, but I'd be insulting some of my igneous friends.

Trudeau, you're wrong. No way Trump is that smart

He’s being deferential by calling Trump smart. He is not, and has never been. He’s a stupid bully.

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

He never said Trump is a smart man, that was part of the quote damn it. I’m an American who is so sad, mad, outraged we are treating Canada and Mexico. Thank you Trudeau, I heard your message for us. I certainly cast my vote and will do so again towards unity, reason, compassion and love for the world. Not this disgusting behavior.

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?

A great speech. The only lie I heard was the Donald trump was “very smart”. I think you meant he’s a “very very stupid fascist boot licking nepo baby with a talent for bull&h!tting that only works on idiots”. They sound similar, so I understand the mistake.

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!

Lol. We know Trudeau was being kind when he called Trump smart.

LOL ….Calling Trump smart is BS. Trump is EVIL..PURE EVIL..

He nailed it (apart from describing Trump as 'smart'). Trump is a Russian Asset (no sarcasm at all) and a threat to world peace. He has to go before he escalates Russia's war

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

No, Trump is NOT smart. He is a complete moron. He literally said he “thinks” the other countries pay the tariffs. And unfortunately half of our citizens are also morons for electing that scum.

You are being nice to trump he is not smart, money and power hungry that’s him

Sir you are far too kind to trump,he is a dangerous evil man. Trump is not smart he is ignorant and has no desire to learn.

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.

Donald Trump has never shown that he's a smart person.

God Bless America ?? \nI back Donald Trump 1000% \nDonald is a smart man Canada knows it and it is time for them to pay up.
