only if dumb trump can speak intelligently like this true leader from Canada. trump speak at grade school level. I am American and very embarrassed for our government.

Trump wants America to look dumb in the eyes of the world, smh.

I am not a fan of PM Trudeau but on this occasion, I'm willing to flipflop. Oh, my goodness, it's so refreshing to hear a country leader speak a coherent sentence, a coherent thought structure, zero vanity tripping, berating opponents, finger-wagging, screeching accusations, tantrums. And then in a second language!!! Just because I'm not one of HIS fans, I am however a massive fan of Canada. I support Canada in this situation 100%. A trade war IS dumb, and even dumber with your closest ally and neighbor. Dumb and Dumber all in one go.... wowzah....so much winning?.

Tump is dumb ????

Stop the Cuba Boycott, Boycott Canada. Canada, You have nothing the US needs! Pound Sand. Trudeau you are not worthy to stand in Trumps shadow. If the Tariffs are a dumb thing to do why are you so upset? F the French Canadians and the French in general. Have a good day.

I like he used the word dumb, maybe trump can understand that. US president is not so big in using deep words

As an American I'm 60 yrs old. And I totally agree With Canada's Prime Minister Trudeau 1000%. I never wanted Trump. And let's make this clear by all means. To those that voted for his dumb ass I hope u you got what you wanted. HE DOES NOT GIVE A CRAP BOUT AMERICA ONLY PUTIN WHO WITH TRUMP BEING THE ULTIMATE ASS KISSER TO HIM TO DESTROY OUR DEMOCRACY AND THE PEOPLE WITHIN IT. GOD HELP US ALL. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE PRETTY. TRUMP IS THE DEVIL HIMSELF.

Someone had to tell him straight ‘ Trump u dumb F*ck’ ? \nraising unrealistic tariffs

This is the part where they play the Match Game clip....'Dumb Donald is Reeeeaaally Dumb!'...<Next Line Please>

So impressed with Trudeau naturally switching from speaking english to french. And to you donald, are you really smart to do the dumb thing?

You Americans are incredible. It's not hard to believe that this is going on. It's hard to believe you've elected such a ridiculous dumb mean bully lying helpless narcissique pervert clown. ?

what a time to be alive. USA wants to be alone, let them do that. I know Trudeau is hated in Canada, but god damn is he 100x a leader than what Dumb is supposed to be

If tariffs are dumb why does Canada have them

only if dumb trump can speak intelligently like this true leader from Canada. trump speak at grade school level. I am American and very embarrassed for our government.

The real question is when is this guy gonna get replaced? Lol \n\nI realize this place is a massive echo chamber, but this response is a dumb one. He needs to be on the phone trying to make a deal, not putting on a show.

F Trump, he’s actually a dumb guy

I've always said, ole trump dumb as a stump. him and putrid, i mean putin are thick as thieves, and I don't trust the pair of them. something should be done about them both.

Can you not see it? Donald Grump wants this. His next move is to ask the military to invade Canada and Mexico. And Grump will tell lies again to the American people why he is doing it. And dumb Americans will believe it. \nHe told Zelensky about WWIII? Grump is the one who’s starting it. And why is that? Simple, Grump and Putin are BFF’s that wants to rule the whole world. \nSane Americans should start a revolution and kick Grump and his cronies out of the office and jail them all in Quantico.

What’s a dumb thing to do is to give 200 billion dollars for nothing in return that’s dumb .

Trudeau is a DICTATOR you dumb people.

@7:58, the fact that this is “dumb thing to do”, stuck with me.

I am an American who am horrified by the actions of this oligarch who has aligned himself with Putin. As a country we should be ashamed - especially those who voted this evil criminal and his cronies back into office. Obviously the dumbing down of America and an end to democracy is barreling down the train track. Thank you Canada for being a beacon in this madness.

He spoke like a true leader. Trump is just dumb, nothing can change that. Vance is also the other dummy and ass kisser.

I am from OC Socal stand w Canada. Hoping all allies do the same not kissing ass to this orange hitler, orange ?aka Putin’s Puppet. Def. he is not my president. Btw, he is a dumb not smart.

It's just Trump. One dumb man who, for some dumb reason, speaks and represents a lot of people under the name of the country they live in. Maybe someone will figure out that someone can only make so many bad decisions before they remove that person from making more bad decisions. We have the village idiot in charge of things. Most[people in America like you and other leaders more than the person who is pretending to lead here. He's the fool of fools. You don't have to call him a smart guy just to make him feel good, he just does dumb things all the time. Either way, it's a fun show, I only hope the missiles start to fly and we all destroy ourselves. \n \nHenry Limpet: Doesn't it kind of give you a thrill of hope, George? \nGeorge Stickel: Hope for what, Henry? \nHenry Limpet: With the war in Europe and new weapons being invented all the time, why, well what if men were actually foolish enough to destroy themselves completely? Then, you see, the fish in the ocean would develop into a new race of men and - well, this time they might turn out better, you see? \n \nOne can only hope.

It is the dumb usa border that's responsible to letting in fentanyl

The American people ARE dumb. All their prices will go up and worsen inflation lol. \nTrump IS a dictator….hitler also promised his people financial saving…..

That's a lie Trudeau. Donald Trump is a dumb-ass fail fake convicted felon businessman.

Dumb Donald ??????

If it’s a dumb thing for American to do. How is it smart to do the same thing back? It will be equally bad for both countries.

Prime Minister Trudeau as an American I stand with you! Have to disagree with you about trump, he’s has dumb as a rock!!!

I hope that ? donald will really realizes how small and dumb this is!!!!!!

Who was dumb enough to vote trump, who couldn’t see the wrecking ball he is, who couldn’t see he is unfit for the job, most of the US that’s who.

What times we live in :D America becoming ally with Russia which leader putin is nothing else like Stalin or other soviet leaders. And America is becoming enemy not only with Europe but also with closest ally Canada :D What the hell is going on? China celebrating now. USA had veroius presidents good ones, bad ones, smart ones and dumb ones, but this one is no doubt the worst and dumbest one ever.

How dare he call Donald Dumb! He left out A and Ass\n\nA dumb ass. That’s better.

Trump is a stupid dumb b…ard, who gains zero respect from anyone, anywhere. The USA is a laughing stock now. I love living in the United Kingdom.

Donald...Your a smart guy, but this is a very dumb thing to do.\nDonald...That makes you a very dumb guy.

If this the part of the plan to make America great again, then this is one dumb plan made by dumb people.

Trudeau calling President Trump “Donald” and then calling his move. “Dumb” should go over really well. ???

“Wacking friends not adversaries” ? \nTotally dumb. Defies logic. Zero to do with fentanyl. Megalomaniac dictator.

I'm Brazilian, and it legit makes me so sad to see the Canadians being left this way by Trump... it's just a dumb situation, it's a selfish move made by him, and that sure affects Canada a lot, and that's why my family and I stopped buying American products. Stay safe and strong, canucks.\n❤

Trump is DUMB, period. Trudeaus speech is excellent, no prompter and speech flows freely. Concise and to the point.

Another Dumb PM who is always under influence of drugs ???

Dumb Drumpf! So obsessed with fentanyl as an excuse for imposing tariffs on Canada -then tell me why did he release the America's kingpin from jail after serving less than 10 years after being handed down a sentence of 80 years! Max Butler was a master at drug dealings of any kind you could imagine making 1.2 billion dollars including 4-5 murders. This was cyber crime in the dark web used as a tool to commit these crimes which had eluded authorities. How many other people had died because of him. Now he's free!

Level-headed, measured, amicable, educated, a real leader and statesman. Talking to an orange baffoon. I only disgree with Trudeau in one thing. Trump does dumb things cause he is actually dumb. And seeing that he is insulting people and allies left and right I personally would love for other leaders inventing fitting names for him paying him back in kind. Someone came up with Mango Mussolini, I had until now favored Orange Utan, but the Mango version is appealing. And lets face it, Trump's cabinet of circus freaks also literally begs to be ridiculed.

I like how he dumbed out his speech when he was speaking directly to Drumph.

Trump knows its a dumb thing to do. He planning to break us all into the poor and weak. He wants to be Queen to King Putin

Yeah you're dumb donald, we were all thinking it. Trudeau had the balls to say it

Decades of zombie programming from Fox hypnotized our worse half to believe black is white and down is up. They now somehow believe obviously damaging actions from their low-tone, smooth-brained, moronic orange god are good. We're obviously lining up to Russian wants and not our people. It's wild how dumb many of our people are. Those of us that are sane hear you, Justin. Maybe we'll see the US come to it's senses, but for now, by all means, do what you need to do.

Dumb stupid trade war. Never forget, Trump started it! Regardless of what maga will say in the next few weeks. ?
