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

The only thing Trudeau got wrong on his speech was to say that Trump is a smart man. Any attempted appeasement of Trump is simply not worth it.

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

I disagree with Trudeau on one point. Trump is NOT a very smart man.

IT'S NOT THE UNITED STATES BABOSO. IT'S TRUMP, VANCE AND MUSK! TRUMP IS NOT A SMART MAN! IT'S ALL ABOUT HIM AND NOT EVEN HIS FOLLOWERS. IT'S JUST HIM. KISS THE RING! I'M TRYING TO SAVE UP FOR MY RETIREMENT. IT WILL ALL BE GONE, GONE. MY NEST EGG GONE.! MAGA, MAKE AMERICA GARBAGE AGAIN!

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?

Trump is NOT a smart man. Bag of hammers have more intellgience and use than Diaper Don!

sorry Mr. Trudeau but Trump IS NOT SMART‼️

Trudeau was wrong. Trump is stupid, not smart.

Wow, he just called Trump a very smart man. Canadians really are nice!

I’m sorry but calling Trump smart is the dumbest thing that was said in that speech. Trump is anything but smart, he’s the dumbest President the states have ever had.

A true statesman! How he was able to say that Trump is a smart man without breaking into hysterical laughter is pure masterclass!!! Give the man an Oscar!!!

I agree 99,9% with everything Prime Minister Trudeau said. We all know what is that 0,1% I don't agree with... And that's of course that Justin said that Trump is smart... We all know he's dumb as a post, ignorant and proud of it.. The West (which of course includes South Korea, Japan, Australia, etc) has rejected MAGA and Trump.. He America, call u s back when the Orange Buffoon not around anymore.

ha ha, clever of Trudeau to butter up trump by lying and saying he's smart. you know that's the only takeaway trump heard in this whole speech. Fitting too, since all he understands is lying.

The US has already tried the Tariff experiment.....\nTariffs in 30's by the US contributed to the great depression \nSmoot–Hawley Tariff Act. The Tariff Act of 1930 (codified at 19 U.S.C. ch. 4), commonly known as the Smoot–Hawley Tariff or Hawley–Smoot Tariff, was a law that implemented protectionist trade policies in the United States\nAnd obviously that didn't work, quite the opposite!\nDeliberate Economic Sabotage?\nSo much for Trump saying historically the American economy did the best under tariff policies\nTo make smart decisions you should also pay regard to history

One thing I disagree with the Prime Minister with, trump is NOT A SMART MAN!

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

This is totally on Trump. Canada did not choose this. I’m proud of the way Prime Minister Trudeau is handling this.\n\nTrump is not such a smart man. Smart men don’t attack friends and allies.

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

I honestly don’t think there’s a smart bone in trumps body. He’s a moron. Trumps a moron

Got to love how Justin has to talk to Trump. Like a kid. We have done big things and you're a smart boy. Got to praise the cult leader to make him happy. I truly wish Justin was our president. What a great person and he speaks clearly and is smart. He isn't annoying or an idiot like trump. We truly live in the stupid timeline. Canada is going to get their items from Europe and Asia and South America. So congratulations America we are about to lose so much. Trump is making us weaker.

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

I disagree trump is not smart. He’s a dumb man making a dumb move.

Prime Minister Trudeau, you are wrong about 1 thing. donald trump is not smart. he is a TOTAL dumbass! You were probably trying to compliment him since he only responds well to those who kiss his feet, but don't do it. We Americans know what he is, know this is ALL his doing and think Canada is great!

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!

Why is he talking funny? I mean even different that Canadian English. Is he trying to sound smart? Oh yea, and along with Trump even most Canadians want Trudeau gone sound do everyone a favor. Even YOUR people, just resign.

Trump , vance and Musk , are not very smart , \nby open trade wars , only the people get hurt on both sides , \nand if USA go after europ then usa will loose even more , \nUsa need us as much as we need them , and Trump \nshould start thinking , becosue americans are loosing power as well \nmust of in europe dont see USA as western leadership anymore , \nthat eneded when people of USA was stupid enough to vote for trump and \nvance , we warned USA people this would happent and still they voted trump \nand now you want us to stand with you ,,,, honestly we have a saying that goes like this \nyou gonna lay in the bed you made , and if you complain about you better redue you bed ! \nSo RNC votes , do you feel the pain the trump a, vance and musk are doing to you , \nif you do then time to remove the idiots from power ! \nand btw , you should rename RNC to RNCC ( Real Northamerica Criminal Consortium)

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

The only mistake Trudeau made was calling Trump a smart man.But I guess he was trolling him and appealing to Trump's fragile ego.

there is no evidence that Trump is smart......dont even concede that

I never voted for Trudeau, but it is hard not to admire him after this speech. He makes Trump look just like he is.. an old, ugly, out-of-shape, and very, very stupid fool. The last thing Canada needs right now are bootlicking Conservatives like Pierre Poilievre. And on a final note.. Trudeau was wrong, Donald is NOT a smart man. He is an utter imbecile.

Two mistakes Justin, you trusted Donald Trump would to do what he promised, and you thought he was smart.

smart timing to drop this strong speech calling Trump out, on the morning when trumps address to congress is later tonight. Trump will be fuming and unhinged for all to see

Trump needs to jail prison this idiot stupid idiot Donald Trump is not smart person he’s a asshole

Theodore is wrong, Trump is cunning but not smart.

Trudeau was correct to state that Trump’s actions are Dumb. However, he incorrectly called Trump a smart person.

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

Can we stop pretending Trump is smart? He's an idiot who is running scared and its ruining all of us.

The only thing I think I'd disagree with here is Trudeau calling Trump a smart man. I know he's trying to appeal to his vanity, but it still feels icky.

Trudeau spoke the truth — except when he said Donald Trump is a smart man.\nDonald Trump is one of the dumbest people on earth. He only benefitted from being elected by even dumber people.

We’re so screwed. Thank you so much for this Trump voters. \n\nStop calling Trump “smart” too. Being a conniving grifter does not make someone smart.

This is total Anti US propoganda ! This man is about as sinister as they come, and in bed with billionaire led WEF ! He clearly displayed that in his lock step response to covid and how he treated his citizens ( like caged animals)! This leader is a socialist and has nothing to offer Americans but to leech our tax dollars & use our military defenses for protection without contributing their fare share to support it! We have been the sugar daddy to so many nations with only the consequence of our tax dollars not improving our nation, but every other that we are used by! I’m not a maga but, but this president is using leverage the US still has ( although we’ve suffered greatly under the Biden Admin ). President Trump is trying to balance our budget by smart and fair trade, that puts this country’s legal citizens first! Fair trade hasn’t existed for many years, and while there may be increases felt by these tarrifs, our hope is that long term we manufacture more excellent goods here & use more of our own natural resources! Those commenting about what we are doing to Ukraine need to get their heads out if the sand…the Ukrainian people don’t want Zelinski but cannot get rid of him! He has taken hundreds of billions of dollars from the US and has no plan for peace in his nation…Pres Trump says enough is enough, and he is trying to not only end the war, but recoup massive amounts of money we wrongly gave through a deal for natural resources. Sounds like a plan that’s good for everyone involved, and that’s how you make deals! We cannot give whst we do not have & with our debt , we cannot afford to keep printing money, devaluing the dollar, and giving it away at the expense of hard working N Americans!

We need young smart leaders like him to run this country of ours. US is in shambles. Hang our flag upside down until Trump gets out of office!!

Do bussinus with the democratic countries left. The US under Trump left the group of democratic countries. Trump is not reliable and he is not a smart man, he is a greedy fascist and relations with fascist are always doomed......

Stop giving him credit Trudeau ? ? Trump is not smart, he's just a stu*pid spoil brats pretending to be smart and everyone knows that he's stup*d

The people who killed Eric, my loved one who was murdered in the World Trade center, came in through Canada; not that I'm upset blut it. I just wish they never could've lied their way through to kill someone they never knew, whio WASN'T greedy OR evil but died for it anyway while we watched it happen. Does anyone know what that feels like? I felt like I was standing in the 9th circle of Dante's hell.\nJust like I feel right now. Being punished for something I DIDN'T do again. Punish HIM. He's the one doing it.\nMary Trump has never called him smart. She's his niece.

WATCH AND SEE CHINA STEP UP AND BECOME THE LEADER AND MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. We used to have that title, but thanks to Trump we will go down as smart an embarrassment ?

WATCH AND SEE CHINA STEP UP AND BECOME THE LEADER AND MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. We used to have that title, but thanks to Trump we will go down as smart an embarrassment ?

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.
