What do you expect from the guy who humiliated the guest in the oval office publicly?

The US economy is 30 trillion, the Canada economy is 2.117 trillion. I doubt if the pain is felt the same on both sides. This guy is an actor.

Not my government. It's a coup. They are letting the swamp in and dismantling government and our rights, inch by inch. This is what the cult 47 have voted for. To be aligned with Russia is atrocious! I'm not a rich white guy, so I will always be looking over my shoulder. Who will be left to stand up for you when they come? Oh, and I love you Canada! I wish my grandparents would've stayed there after marriage instead of moving back to the Ultra Swamp (US).

That’s not his first term, it’s not a surprise for you! But, and even after you’ve seen what happened on Jan 6 and you voted for him again! I mean… there is some proverb about the guy who falls into the same trap twice you know…

The only thing trump hears in this is “you’re a very smart guy” \n Trumps people will cut this piece up and tell the world Trudeau gave a speech saying trump was smart and has done big things.

Canada is a bunch of losers we've been supporting them for years that guy needs to shut his mouth and pay us back the money he owes

European here. Nice to see that Canada is still a great smart country we are all happy to be friends with; what really worries us is the country below Canada, since it is run by a crazy old man and his cult of bigotry, ignorance, lies, autocracy and pseudoscience. What have you done? You liberated us from the Nazis in WWII just to vote for their American counterpart less than one century later. I am very sorry for all the good guys who lost their lives only to bring Mr Trump to the White House.

❤❤❤❤❤This Guy Soo young....

Yeah I’m guessing if trump made that call this guy was doing something nefarious behind the scenes. His people hate him. He’s a baby dictator. He’s in no position to lecture anyone about governments hurting their people!

No, he is not a very smart guy, just the opposite.

From Aussie land here, that was an excellent speech you should be proud Canada. We luv you guys, its great to see your country stand together total respect. Stay strong for your country

Lol ? those who cry the loudest publicly are the ones who bend the knee behind closed doors . Its a worthless speech. Its a empty nothing backing speech. Only pawns would think this guy is tough lol ? its absolutely amazing what a true patriot can do . America first .

Trump wants to weaken all the countries which are against the russian invasion of Ukraine. Enough said, the guy is a traitor. Stay strong Canada ✊??????

It's not the uSA it's Trump and his cronies. Putin is no more a murderous dictator, than GEnocide Joe or Trump. CNN is the mouthpiece for USA imperialism. CNN lies and is biased against Palestine, drooling support for the illegal occupation that calls itself Israel. Don't work with Trump, destroy Trump. LOL Trump is NOT a smart guy, he is a narcissist and liar, criminal and gas lighter. He is trying to run the USA like a business, cutting off citizens from healthcare and social security. Trump is a criminal and there is only one end for him. JAIL

I thought this guy resigned.

Trudeau is so kind to call Trump a smart guy when he knows that Trump is just an idiotic tax fraud and draft dodger. As President, Trump has still not revealed his taxes. Such a fraud just like his pet Elon!!!

I disagree! Donald is not a “very smart guy.” Canada, do not give into America. Don’t let Trump win.-Signed an American.

this is the guy who will freeze your bank account if you disagree with him.

Orange turd is not a smart guy.

The dumbest guy in charge of a country Donald Trump!! A simple Puppet

What Canada needs to understand is that you have a problem with our president? You don’t need to have a problem with all Americans we all support Canada so please understand that. It’s two people put the hurt on them don’t punish innocent Americans we love you guys.

You’re a smart guy Donald. Nope!!!

I'm so proud of this guy and I'm not even Canadian. But I love Canada.

Brave guy

The only thing that was wrong with this speech was referring to Trump as “very smart guy”.. This is what a true leader sounds like! Intelligent, speaking facts and to the point!??????????

This speech is unbelievable impressive!!!! Wish there would be more guys like Mr Trudeau, his words got me 100% and I hope something or somebody stops this crazyness and incompetence of this so called President of the US. It is really sad and insane what‘s going on between the US and their allies. Greetings and good vibes from Germany!

As if we're going to listen to a guy that has TNAKED his country over the oast decade. Get bent

IDGAD what anyone says, Im gonna miss this guy??, but I will wish him well? thank you JT for all you did for us Canadians?

I can't believe that orange peel think that we as Canadians want to send our jobs to them . That guy is coo coo for coco pops.

I know he's being a diplomat but he should have said 'Donald you're NOT a very smart guy and this is a dumb decision'. All leaders are being so careful with Trump because he can literally take everything so personal and then go into vengeance. He is just not cut out to do this job.

Trump is a disaster. This guy clearly doesn't know what he's doing. He's not a real politician and had no business ever touching the oval office. This guy has gone bankrupt multiple times. He's running our country into the ground.

Isnt this the same guy that stole mney from his citizens and didnt he step down? ?

I love this guy. I like anyone who stands up against bullies. He’ll drive the economy into the ground

Even the guy in Russia is shock and laughing at what his darling boy Trump is doing , everywhere around the globe people are laughing at the US president and popping champagne ?????

I’m not a fan of this guy but I stand with canada

As an American I am so sorry for the pathetic acts of that man who isn't my president. He has the job and he's fucking it up properly. I am sorry. We are sorry. We will make up for this in the future and history will hold the asshole responsible. Again I'm sorry. We don't want this. They don't listen and our elected representatives are underpowered and weak to fix things.\n\nAre you guys taking American political refugees yet? I'm ready to come north.

This guy is such a ?

You guys wanna grow weed, you need POTASH-it comes from the Caribbean--Cut your production now...save your money

Well he was being very polite but our so-called president is not a smart guy, although he thinks he's the smartest ever. \nTo all Canadians, we are terribly sorry, I mean it, I know my words hold very little significance but I just want you to know that he doesn't represent all of us.

I'm so sorry Canada I think you guys are great

Trudeau is covering his butt he,s a liar corrupt evil person now trying to act like the victim he is full of crap guys and truth and exposure will be shown

I really don't normally agree with this guy, but he is so much more of a man than Trump.

First this guy forces people to 'vaccinate' with a poisonous genetic substance. When protests occur he ruins the life of thousands of truckers by freezing their bank accounts. But when Trump reacts on tariffs he hopes for the support of Canadiens who were suppressed by him before!

Stop the illegals from coming in then.\n\nSuch a tough guy\nLol\nYour people no what you are

All those who voted for Trump gather here, don’t complain now this is exactly what you guys voted for…?

I didn't vote for that man. Female or male..the US needs an intelligent, well spoken POTUS like Trudeau. All that tough guy act doesn't fly especially when you disrespect the Ukrainian president over what he's wearing, forgetting the reason behind that. Good luck to all on another 4yrs of nonsense

I used to keep a refrigerator full of beer and a well stocked liquor cabinet. My friends were at my house 7 days a week. I stopped buying beer and boxed up my liquor and all my friends got mad and stopped coming by to visit. Our country has borrowed \n$37 trillion dollars and given a lot away to countries that claimed to be our friends and partners. We stopped giving money away and we are the bad guys? \nYeah I see a parallel.

Didn’t this guy resign already

Canada has been treating the United States like their personal ATM for way too long. You bring nothing to the table, but you have the audacity to ask for everything. It’s sad how most people don’t understand politics and just rely on media to tell them how to think and feel Russia is not a threat to no one but they have been constantly attack attacked by everyone especially the United States. You guys talk war but you’re not ready for World War III. No one can ever be ready for that

This is not the American People. This is that dumb ass orange guy in the whitehouse
