Smart guy... He think

Drumpf a smart guy? Any dumb bamboon is smarter than him! Stopping the a** kissing! Trump will just screws you more when he thinks you are weak

trump, smart??? He is evil and stupid, a felon!!!

The only part of this I didn’t agree with was when he called Trump smart. A flaming bag of hair clippings has more intelligence than Trump.

Why don’t Canada that over the United State and the president of Canada replace Grifters Donald Trump. One thing I disagree with his messages is Trump isn’t smart. He has Elon Musk running America and he’s signing coloring books.

Trump is not a very smart guy I hope he was being sarcastic with the word “very”

Sorry but I disagree with Trudeau. The word Smart is never associated with Trump. Only words like stupid, dumb, bully, racist and narcissistic described him.

DonOLD is not smart.???

God, it’s got to be hard to not cringe when calling Trump smart.

I disagree about one thing. The part where he said *Rump was smart. It's like calling a hippo in a china shop smart. The hippo is merely just confused and angry and lashes out because it doesn't understand it's surroundings.

I love how he talks to Donald as if he was a child even his tone changes, and then tells him he’s a very smart guy ?

Trudeau your a lieing criminal and corrupt!! You think you can out smart president Trump?? It's about time someone put you in your place!! Best you and carny get out now!! God bless Pierre poilievre family and Canada!!!

Canadians are smart enough not to waste our time seeking any reasonable discourse or mutual respect from lying welchers like Donald Jackass Trump. Same reason Zelensky won't waste his time seeking a ceasefire agreement with Vladimir Putin.

Trump smart. Trump make money. U u a a ?

But he said Donald’s a “very smart guy” ?

calling donald smart - what a joke

Justin T did get one thing very wrong and thats saying DT is a smart man.....

On display for the world to see a proud articulate Canadian vs a Dumb Ass Pathological Psycho, who is not smart! Unfortunately the US is stuck with the Psycho!! Thank you Canada for showing how it should be done!! An embarrassed American.........

please do not use smart and donny in the same sentence!

Lots of americans lost their job already thanks to Trump for this blessing and smart move.Trump voters are now on food stamp. ???

Impressive, Mr. Trudeau! I wish we germans had a leading Politician, able to hold such a smart speech. Congratulation Canada!

I disagree with PM Trudeau on only one point. Trump is NOT a smart man. There is only one way to understand Trump's recent actions. Trump is a Russian asset. Full Stop.

Now there is a REAL president. Trudeau is a REAL leader, I wish he were ours. He's a smart and good man. I can't say that about ours.

Trump is NOT a smart guy. He's a useful idiot for authoritarian regimes across the globe.

So he’s encouraging everyone to go to war with Russia…. Smart….

@Justin , Donald is anything but smart ?.\nYou know better, he’s a fool

oh my. one thing trumpton isn't is smart. isolate usa and let it trade with putin and its genocidal criminal brother in the middle east. we dont need usa it a third world dictator

I can't believe the people of the USA really elected him. Come on, you know Trump plays very dirty--I refuse to believe that the majority of voters are this brain dead. If our nation is this stupid then we deserve everything that is coming to us. PS: Trudeau, it's way too nice to tell Trump he's a smart guy--he's evil, not at all intelligent. Can we please stop conflating scheming, bullying and manipulation with intelligence---any dumb ass can scheme, bully and manipulate (the prisons are full with this kind of human being), but you actually have to be intelligent to collaborate, listen and manage.

Trump is not a smart man. In fact, he is one of the dumbest humans to walk the earth. Facts matter.

It was a great speech, except for the part about Trump being smart!

Lol. He said Trump is smart. He lied and he knows it.

That is their first mistake. Donald is NOT a smart man. He never has been.

It's refreshing to hear a smart leader talk unlike the clown we have in USA.

Tough to have to play to Trumps ego , when we know he’s not smart , not intelligent, and not smart enough to to realise how stupid he is:(

Little castro needs to stfu hes a left wing corrupt pos Canadians would be smart to look into how much money he gets back

To call this scum - Donald as smart is equally DUMB !

We can clearly see the different between a very bright and smart leader and the most illiterate president of the usa

Gotta say, we did it to ourselves Canada. Its like a corporation with only a couple customers. Then the customer decides he would rather own the business than keep paying it. Time to build smart business assets instead of blowing money on other countries BS. And when I say we, I mean Liberals.

trump is most diffidently not a smart man.

He's not a smart man doing something dumb, he's an idiot doing dumb things because it makes money for the people who bought him.

Smart guy lol.. good one Justin! Trumpy is not smart. He is an idiot, a moron, and a total disaster

Why do politicians have to be on their way out the door before they say exactly how shitty trump and his trumpettes are!?!?! \n\n\nOne exception. Trump is not smart. He's clever. He's crafty. But he's also the most ignorant humanoid on the planet. Just stone cold dumb.

Trump was never a smart guy... he just talks like a bully, that's all!!!!!!

As an American, I stand with Canada and Mexico but not Russia . Prime Minister Trudeau has demonstrated true leadership qualities. If the U.S. has trade issues with Canada and Mexico, they should be resolved amicably. What Trump is doing is not the approach of a smart leader—he is risking the livelihoods of millions of Americans

Trump isn't a smart guy

If canada was smart they would get rid of Trudeau.

I agree with most of this except where Trudeau said that Trump was a smart guy.

Canadian president is so much better than the American one! Clear, articulate, smart, decisive, and with his country’s citizens interests at heart.

Trudeau calling Trump a 'very smart guy' is a sop to cheeto's vanity. Cheeto is NOT smart - he does not understand in any way, how tariffs work

Trudeau is wrong. Trump isn't a smart guy. He's got a criminal's cunning. He knows how to shake down a sucker. But he is dismally stupid and ignorant and a constant liar. He is undoubtedly allying himself with Putin and other criminal dictators. BLOTUS: Biggest Liar Of The United States. Imbecile-In-Chief. And a traitor to the western world.
