Love you Trudeau but Trump IS NOT a smart man.

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

trump is a very dumb man doing very dumb things.

From Arkansas, USA, i firmly and proudly stand with Canada. And on behalf of all those too simple to see whats been happening and what is happening, i wholeheartedly apologize. Though he didnt have to lie to trump and tell him hes a smart man ? we all know thats not true

Trump is a mad man

Trump is a disgrace and a very ignorant man and all Americans should be ashamed that he represents you

Just like with Zelensky, Trump will just ignore the actual truths and continue to peddle his alternative fantasies. You cannot use logic against this man.

Is Trump’s performance in the Oval Office really what the GOP equates to strength? Kicking our ally while they’re down, who’s been fighting one of our supposedly greatest adversaries who invaded their country? Berating him for not wearing a suit, or not being grateful enough, or being too hateful to the man who invaded his country and kidnapped Ukraine’s children? If this is strength, why doesn’t he treat Putin this way? It’s only weaker allies where he pounds his chest. Bully. Coward.

That's the big point what Prime minister from Canada said , this is just what they want that the allies weaken and Trump traps in it , Al this years so many work to build strong Canada and USA is just in a second gone because 1 stupid Man and that's President Trump

It makes me ashamed that respectable allies have to lie and say Trump is a smart man...

Trump just has a problem with this man. I wouldn’t blame him. The man is articulate, well spoken ,handsome.. everything Trump does not match.

Donald Trump speaks Truth and is a man of integrity who seeks peace. Facts.

Trump is lying to the American people like he always has and does, the man can not tell the truth. The American people are sincerely sorry.

I'm not American. I grew up hearing lots of hate bout USA cuz the US doesn't exactly have a good rep in foreign policies - always bullying other nations, starting wars for oil etc. but I've always preferred USA not just for the world order it brings, it allows different voices, criticism & scolding towards its leaders compared to China, Russia & North Korea. \n\nin the US, you can talk bad bout politicians in power, or probably make movies bout these kind of things like US invading other countries for oil, or testing out some cruel AI military robots on humans (movie name: Monsters of Man), & you won't be persecuted. but after looking at a bunch of executive orders Trump has signed, the way he (& JD Vance) treated Zelenski & Canada, I don't know if I still feel the same bout USA anymore.\n\nif USA doesn't wanna continue spending on Ukraine, perhaps USA shouldn't have sweet talked Ukraine into denuclearization thru the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. that's what you get for mendling with other countries' affairs. by stopping US aid & wanting a new mineral deal, Trump's refusing to follow the Memorandum (I added this sentence thru edit as I can't reply to the comment below).\n\nunderstandably, US & UK don't need to deploy troops in Ukraine as the security assurance in the memorandum wasn't clearly defined, but it also didn't mention that Ukraine should pay the US back financially, nor any mineral concessions. \n\nTrump always wanting a purely 1 sided deal will only isolate USA from more allies.

I wish our European leaders would stand up to Trump like this brave man and his country

new levels of respect for Trudy now - stood right up to the orange mad man using intelligence - trump and the MAGA cult need jailing and we only months in

trump is a dumb man doing a dumb thing

Feel for the American people and Canadian people only one man has done this yes trump ,love from the uk ??

As An American citizen I stand for righteous leadership and I stand with Canada, European allies and Mexico. Do what you have to do to protect your country your economy and your citizens. TRUMPSKI and his lap dog JD Vancekoff are ruining the United States of America!! They're not leaders, they're Russian assets, strongmen wannabe's and a scourge in the historical record of our nation. And all of the misled, under educated and misinformed folks who follow this man and his cult of personality have been lead astray by the propagandist on FOX News and right wing social channels and will pay for this just like the rest of us. Trump and his cronies are ONLY about enriching THEMSELVES and their friends and families. Not the working man and woman. Just the autocrats and oligarchs.

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.

the con man trump must be getting paid from putin

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!

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

People power always wins in the end.I feel the true American people will turn on trump and put an end to all this nonsense.as a law abiding English man I defend our friends In Canada.

US RELATION WITH EUROPE- BAD\nUS RELATION WITH UKRAINE- BAD\nUS RELATION WITH GREENLAND- BAD\nUS RELATION WITH CANADA- BAD\nBUT US RELATION WITH RUSSIA- EXCELLENT!!????\nTRUMP SUPPORTERS MUST REALISE THAT TRUMP IS A CRAZY MAN!

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

Trump is the biggest bully in the world. If he was a child he would be reprimanded or undergo counseling. Here is a grown man acting like a bullying child and running rampant creating chaos. He is also selfish and evil.. he also reminds me of Roberto mussolini the dictator of Italy during the second world War. This man cares about nothing than himself. Hooray for Trudeau who is an articulate and eloquent speaker not the bumbling buffoon south of the border.

Pathetic Leftie weakling???Trump must be quaking in his boots. Best thing Trudeau can do is resign and let a proper man or woman run the country, both will have more Balls than him.

Please don't assume all Americans are into this crazy plan and man called Trump. He is not my President, never was, never will be. I am so sorry that this is happening for no good reason.

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!!!

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

Trump is a mad man

What the heck does Putin have on Donnie? Was it pedophilia on Epstein's Island? was it sex with boys and girls? Was it the mythical pee tapes? Whatever it is it has to be big enough to get Donnie to break with all the US's traditional allies which has to be making Putin rub his hands with glee. How far does this adjudged rapist, and 34 count felon that the US decided it wanted to make it's President, have to go before someone steps in and say that Trump represents a clear and \npresent danger to the economic and military security of the world? His administration forced New York's director of the FBI to resign because that man did not want to give up the names of personnel who investigated the Jan 6 insurrectionists. He put a known Russian apologist, Tulsi Gabbard, in charge. He has frozen aid to a country actively fighting for it's very survival against an aggressive and expansionist Russia. He applied tariffs against Canada and threatens the same against Europe., he has banned the freedom to protest in colleges though he freed people imprisoned for rising in actual insurrection against the Government. Dictatorship comes in steps isolation from the world and suppression of freedoms are but two. The free world weeps for what the US is becoming under this current administration.

All countries must do what Canada is doing we tired of republican thugs trump his a devil sick crazy old man imperialist we are not leaving in the olden days the world has change America will be finished soon

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.

We love Canada! Trump is an idiot man.

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

Trump is the man to sort the swamp out around the world not these muppet . Rember what you did to the normal people in Covid bullshite . Wake up people

This is not America, one man only Donald Trump. \nHe Turned on the same people who put him in power. And he's paving the way to be like Putin.

Trump is the man to sort the swamp out around the world not these muppet

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.

The people of the World need to get this crazy man aka Donald Trump out of office & into a Padded cell.

Did you see the clip with Keir Starmer and Donald Trump in the Oval Office Starmer gives Trump a letter from King Charles Trump opens it supposedly reading it then shows it to the camera and then requests Starmer to read a section. What the hell why didn't Trump read it himself what reading is beneath him. The question here is can Donald Trump read I think not this is why he has never read any history books which leads me to my next question. How can an illierate man become the President of the United States? Mind boggling and this is why he dances at Maralago he is saying to himself I can't read and these fools made me President!!!

What a great man Trudeau is! And what a disgusting thug Trump is.

the convicted felon president Trump is incapable to have a grasp of Putin's evil mind. Weak man!

We, as a nation, need to get the magaddicted to realize the implications of supporting such a man.. I can't say what I really want to say, bc trump leaning youtube will censor me..\n\nmaga refuses to accept the truth.. this video need to go out to all the far right media and podcasts. The problem is, is that they are all magaddicted..

Well said that man! Trump is a filthy TRAITOR to America, he’s working for Putin! America, under TRAITOR Trump, is now a pariah country! America is now the enemy of every free democratic nation of the world !

Didn't this man resign back in January due to low approval ratings? Nobody takes you seriously Sir, not even your own citizens. You did not want to secure your own border when it was in both of our best interests to do so. President Trump said we are pursuing diplomacy, not siding with Russia. As he said, if you are trying to negotiate a deal between two enemies you can't cast one out and only deal with one. You need the two sitting at the table and you have to be fair to both sides. The liberals want an endless war so they can profit from it. Most of them are heavy investors with defense contractors and that is not a coincidence. It is a conflict of interest. I disagree with how President Trump handled that meeting as those tough conversations should have happened privately. Nonetheless those conversations absolutely needed to happen. Thousands of Ukrainians and Russians dying and cutting blank cheques year after year with no end in sight is insanity. Each side is going to have to give something to end this.

Trumps small, petty ego battles are very costly to the average American and to lives around the world. Trump does not care. He is incapable of empathy. His ego battle and extortion racket with Zelenskyy is costing lives. Trump doesn't care. A hundred thousand extra lives were lost during Covid in America because of Trumps, ignorance, lies and disinformation. Trump didn't care. Lives were lost in Haiti because of Trumps hurricane response incompetence. Trump could have cared less. Trump sold out the Kurds in Syria. Thousands of lives were lost. Trump didn't care. He's a sick man and American voted him in. Now we have to live with it. Here in America, there is going to be a step too far. For half of America, Trump is way passed that. Dictators only respond to strength. Thank you Canada for making a strong and firm stand.
