......... A dumb decision

I love Canada. Wish there was something personally i could use to help. ❤❤❤ Trump is Dumb and self-centered.

.... Well I'll tell you what Trudeau,.... None of us people wanted these tariffs either... At least not the people who are sane... I don't even think the people who voted for Donald Trump wanted these tariffs against the rest of the world either....I really don't understand the sense behind it because this is not going to make America greater.... It's going to destroy the economy of America and whatever the country it is that he poses these tariffs on... He thinks this is a strategy for getting what he wants... But I'll tell you what, he may be shocked and sadly mistaken when he finds out that it might just backfire ...this is a very conceited attempt to get the type of economic condition that he envisions for his new Dictatorship over America....he has alienated United States from its allies in Europe as well as its allies here at home.... This is probably about as dumb as his treatment of Volodimir Zelensky that just transpired on Friday at the oval office...and that idiot Vance is the one actually that has started that little debacle....I don't know man I thought these guys had more sense than to do this kind of shit.... But see this kind of situation is not going to affect him or his billionaire buddies because they have so much money they can cushion themselves until the cows come home....these assholes don't have nothing to worry about except the American people finding an emergency way of getting his ass out of office unless he changes course on all of this... I don't know if he can be impeached or not... But it might be a smart thing to find out if it IS possible.... AND EVEN IF IT IS WE STILL HAVE HIS SITTING REPLACEMENTS STILL IN OFFICE AS WELL SO I DON'T SEE THIS GOING AWAY WITHIN THE NEXT 4 YEARS UNLESS HE COMES BACK TO HIS SENSES, AND POSSIBLY GOES TO A DOCTOR AND HAVE HIS HEAD CHECKED....\nDTheMadkat123\nFrom a borrowed phone \n....the only thing I really do support that he is doing is securing the border and dealing with immigration issues here.... That's it that's all I was hoping that he would really focus on being in the oval office, and possibly standing by Ukraine, and Israel during these evil days.... Buddying up to Putin is like the single most insane thing that has come from this as well..I just hope and pray that he comes back to his senses and backtracks on all of this shit.... Besides I like Canada House whiskey, and Canada Dry Ginger ale, and other products from Canada.... Stand strong Canadians, I love you all, and I hope we can make it through these tough times ahead...but obviously the road that we're traveling now there really is no guarantees is there ?? Lady can you shut the hell up and go back to what Trudeau is saying ??

If they seem to think that maggot 47 is a “smart” man…then their judge of character needs to be deeply reexamined because he’s a dumb as dumb can get then dig a hole lower then THAT’S where his intelligence lies.

As a ex Marine, I do not agree with this move by our government . I did not vote for this dumb move . I have family and freinds in Canada. I grew up spending much of my younger days in Canada , camping and exploring. I do not agree with this move at all! Sorry Canada!

This guy is a crook, you got to be a dumb mother Tucker to believe anything g this guy says

That was a solid speech from Trudeau. Tariff is a desastrous action from Trump. He hide his real agenda in his campaign. I hope a vast majority of American realize how dumb and bully a President they have.

Donald is not a smart guy, (you’re being diplomatic, )he’s dumb and dumber for doing this and it will show very soon the consequences of his actions. Trouble is, he doesn’t do anything if he’s wrong he just doubles down, he doesn’t take any responsibility even if he’s the one that causes it. Good on you, Mr. Trudeau, Americans, love Canada and Canadians, but Donald is not who the United States is about. He’s a traitor and of course a felon, Conman, hrapist. He is the one that we shouldn’t let in our country, especially to the presidency of the United States.

When the guy who was such a god-awful, terrible, idiotic Prime Minister that his own party told him that he was too embarrassing to continue as leader; lights you up for being dumb and the 86% of Canadians that didn’t want Trudeau to ever appear in public as a Canadian (Let alone PM) agree with him… you’ve got to rethink your position.

Dumb man does dumb things. Trump and Vance are a modern-day version of Beavis and Butt-Head in politics.

Donald and James epitomize DUMB AND DUMBER!

❤Canada.Donald this is a very dumb thing to do?

It’s not a dumb thing for him to do. His goal is to stay out of prison for whatever Putin has on him. If he dismantles the country completely there will be no pathway to prosecute when the truth comes out which it will. Rather than dumb it’s a dark and sick and sociopathic thing to do parallel to only a handful of the worst bad actors in history. We need to distinguish between dumb and evil. This is the distinction the WSJ missed.

It is so dumb to put a tariff on Canada..we're just brother and sister..Canadians bring a lot of business to our town and we speak the same language aka English..Why? We have to do this ?

EXACTLY, Justin is polite and friendly! Donald is stupid and dumb, VERY DUMB!!

This dude is dumb as hell and only cares about living in luxury while his people are in poverty

Canada is soo much more ahead. Shaming the Canadian pm,doesnt help to disguise the screw ups coming from the US.. \n\nCanada shows having balls& self respect. \n\nMany countries can learn from their insights..\n\nCNN,.. write this down in paper... And read it back.. \n\nCNN ( the US one) need to get look at themselves,the attitude is beyond arrogant. \n\nYou forget that the whole world sees the tricks youve played for decades. \nManipulating/suggesting .. \nPlease.. Americans,canadians,europeans, asian citizens Arent that dumb.. stop behaving that we are..

AGREE,what is this about definitely not the border !Trumps REGIME is trying to weaken Canada so he can Annex us!!!\nThat will never happen most Americans disagree with Trump more than half now after what has happened in the news lately!!\nThank you Mr.Trudeau for an eloquent,intelligent response to Trumps DUMB plan.After decades of good relations between our nations Trump has chosen Putin’s playbook\nCanadians and the world now are BOYCOTTING the once upon a time Ally Our neighbour America!!\nThis will not play out well for Americans Canadians or Mexicans \n??????

Trump is a demented dumb dipstick.

Donald Trump is so Dumb, that he thinks the dollar which he can print, is more valuabe than the energy which come from Canadá. The Europe is suffering without the gás from Rússia, and the Rússians keep going foward. My support to the cannadians from Brazil.\n ?????

Did he just call the Orange ? dumb ??? Vance is also dumb and a bootlicker

Way to go TRUDEAU. Don’t bow down to trump he’s a dumb ass and he thinks that the world owes him something. Trump is a criminal; very corrupt person who doesn’t have a life and doesn’t care about anyone. He’s just going around with his selfish and greedy self trying to take advantage of everyone with his corrupt ways . Trump should be a janitor, not a president ?

Well, you can’t expect smart things from a dumb guy (potus) sorry MAGAots

I will still buy Canadian products. If I can pay more for eggs, I can buy the wonderful produce and other products from Canada. This really is a dumb thing Trump has done. I hope something happens to undo what has happened.

Trudeau is a sensible President. As an American, I support Trudeau - NOT dumb Trump

Donald Trump isn't dumb, necessarily. He's just cruel. He has a black heart. Only Donald Trump matters to Donald Trump.

Trump is just Dumb !\nIt has nothing to do with the drug fentanyl.\nTrump can lie to the Trumptards, but not the world.

Trudeau told 1 lie , he called trump smart , he is in fact as dumb as dog shit

And he wants to help zalinscys with the war... What a dumb ass...

DUMB indeed. We are f***d...

I'M AN AMERICAN ?? TURNED TO BE CANADIAN ?? ALL B'COS OF DUMB TRUMP... NOVEMBER 2024.

Go go go pres donald dumb, i said this was going to be a shitshow. US going pro poohtin. And vs to its own allies. Im going to need more popcorn.

Boy, Canadian PM is totally out from dumb trump’s league. Canadians, you’re in good hands there ? Poor Americans, please, do something before the USA will not be anymore the country you love.

For the 1st time - Trudeau did a sensible thing. This is literally a dumb trade war.

As an American, We support you Canada. Trump and Musk are dumb and dumber.

The Dumb US fake president is isolating and weakening the US in preparation for an invasion by Russia and China. Come CIA, get with it pronto!!!

Dumb trump can’t speak 2 languages haha

Manchurian Candidate, Anti-Christ, Quisling, Traitor, and just plain dumb as can be ..That is Donald Trump ..

Putin advise Donald Trump to disassociate ourselves with all of our allies and to break down our defenses so he can then come in and start a war with the United States of America then we would have no allies that we can count on because of all the enemies that Donald Trump has made in once Putin can take over the United States of America and start bombing us then we are f***** and we will learn how it feels to be bombed and lose many of our people here in the United States just like Ukraine is going through right now and other countries that are fighting for their freedom and their people! Y'all have to understand this s*** is bigger than tears and Donald Trump is too f****** dumb to understand and to see what Elon musk, putin, Kim Jong-un all are plotting against his dumbass to hurt the United States of america, to hurt his own people, Donald Trump do not give a f*** about the United States of america, let's be clear or his people, and he damn sure does not give a damn about the Constitution of the United States of America

For dumb Trump and his brain dead followers THIS IS HOW YOU SPEAK AND LEAD!

No Trump is NOT a smart guy, but I agree with the other half of the statement, Trump is as DUMB as a rock.

Dumb donald duck mudt go!!\nit's four years..maybe he will be impeached or something worse will happen to him..who\nknows?.

Agree, this is to DUMB to be true. Is he in the pocket of Putin? This is on top of the miss-use of the Precedency to benefit from crypto freud. What a clown U have in the White House

Trump is Dumb

It's pretty simple and fair, Trumps terrifs are going to equal what you charge us. How is that not fair? Canada is just upset that Trump isn't letting America's tax payers get taken advantage of anymore. Don't let Trudeaus words fool you. He is a dumb, weak and corrupt leader.

Oooooooh, smart yet dumb, I think I want to black out my windows and shut out the world ? The world has to stand up to Trump, at the moment he feels untouchable!

From America lol Donald is dumb dude

Americans did not launch this trade war . Dumb and dumber did this. trump os the worst POTUS in history

So what's Trumpy gonna do now...declare war on Canada and invade? Trudeau did misspeak...Trumpy is ANYTHING but a very smart guy! But he is a VERY dumb one. That's VERY clear.

Uhhh Orange Man gon' be fuming about someone calling him out, on the global stage, with facts AND basically calling (and showing) him DUMB with such a class in front of the world.\nWell Done!! That's how you handle bullies.
