trump is stupid.

Good for you, Trudeau! Trump despises the vast majority of Americans and happily destroys our lives. Thank you for standing up to his cruelty and stupidity. Canadians are lucky to have you and your intelligent cohort fighting against our monstrous president. And many of us truly admire you & your partners.

Trump has no friends\nAnd now\nAmerica will have no friends\n\nWhat are friends for\n\nIt's the economy Stupid !\n\nReally ! ! ?

This is so stupid. I cannot believe we are in a trade war with Canada ffs. I stand with you Canada and Ukraine!

Trouble is, Donald Trump is NOT a very smart Guy. He is uneducated, is at times stupid and suffering from dementia.

The Donald is not a very smart guy. He is self-serving and greedy. What has that got to do with intelligence? He is mentally ill and childish. He should be locked up. P.S. classic American stupidity to mute the speaker the minute he starts speaking a foreign language. Ignorance abounds!

Go Canada! Be tough on America. America deserves NO sympathy. I'm sorry. Most Americans are sorry about this situation. I hate the orange troll and I'm just as angry at the people that voted for him. But, I don't think even they thought he would do this and probably trusted the Congress to stop these things. But, the Republican side of Congress is made up of cowards. This will hurt America. I just hope in the end, this will make America better because people will realize the consequences of their stupidity. And stop electing spineless and evil representatives.

A trade war in the 21st century is so regressively stupid??

This man is not stupid he’s playing The people acting as if he’s tough and trump is inlove with Russia cause that’s all they have to stand on . And if Canada keeps on you will lose this trade war, we are 70% of your GDP !!

Remove the Stupid orange idiot from office now!

Canada gets all my support. What the US is doing now is just wrong in every way.\nI just hope more and more americans will see how stupid this is going to be. Things are only going to get more expensive from this point forward.

That's how a reasonable, intelligent, moral, truthful head of state sounds. As opposed to the clinically insane, stupid, immoral, lying criminal Donald Trump. Why did you Americans elect this fascist idiot??

Time to start feeling the the pain and power of other peoples ignorance and stupidity I suppose.

Thank you MAGA. You voted for this stupid circus.

Thanks to those in the u.s who voted for your orange pumpkin head president. \nYou are the embarrassing ones that make the u.s look incredibly stupid, you keep outdoing yourselves. Thanks for that, we all hope you catch the crabs.\n\n\n\nAnd many thanks to those who are in support of Canada. God bless you all!

@7:05:: He's using small words. Probably the best way to get through to the orange man,,, I'm not saying the orange man is dumb, but he is pretty damned stupid. A for effort... Let's see if it actually takes... Sadly, I doubt it...

Easing russian sanctions, then putting tarrifs to allies that makes stupid sense.

You now as i now , Donald, Europe is dum amateurs, and very stupid, Thy want atomic war.and tragedie.

? virtue signaling little war monger. Weak warmonger just like the majority of the EU. Begging for US handouts while barking like a pitbull. He will do nothing but squirm because of choices made by Canadian voters. Stupidity in mass.

Trump Vance Musk a Joke for this World. Split us more...lets go back to dark days...WE MUST WORK ALL TOGETHER THE WHOLE WORLD - AGAINST NOT WORKING.... HOW OFTEN IN 2000 YEARS STUPID MORONS MUST DO THE SAME SHIT AND HOPE FOR DIFFERENT OUTCOME - Take care, they wanna lower the values of companies, weaken them and then buy them cheap...tricky evil bad man Donald is. A friend of Putin, maybe Putin has something in his pocket against him...total unhuman.... pure world...thx US VOTERS wake up you vote for Devils of the Wallstreet

How does America have one of the worst presidents on the globe? At least the authoritarians are evil GENIUSES, Trump is evil and just stupid.

almost the whole world is laughing at us, I am now ashamed to be an American, my love for America is unfortunately being destroyed by a stupid government under Trump ?

The prime minister going to have his people suffer rather than protect the border the way Trump asked is stupid. Bend the knee and protect the border ?

STUPID TRUMP! STUPID. STUPID. STUPID.

Harsh... What HARSH language. you stupid reporter inflating nothing in to something.

? OMG Trump is beyond stupid. This is unbelievable ?

Yall Sound stupid AF talking about I’m with Canada and Ukraine! As a Black Woman I understand we have an issues. But It’s USA VS EVERYBODY! Get down or Lay Down!

when Trump president American is become to stupid America!?

Our truck was made in Canada, one of the best vehicles we have every had. It's almost 30 years old and still runs great with very few problems. We trust products from Canada. Stupid is as stupid does!

Of course what Trump is doing is exactly what America's (and the West's) adversaries want. Trump is clearly working with Russia. There's no other way to look at this. But that's what the American voters voted for. Now all that karma from their stupidity is about to bite them in the backside.

I voted for trump but i agree that this was a stupid move

stand your ground canada don’t let donald’s stupid ass walk over you

Make that make sense? Russia has nukes, your welcome. They said the guy was stupid wow....

Liberals are stupid

tRump is an idiot, no deal maker, no big brain, just a small petty loser. I am embarrassed by this president, he's not my president just Maga's president. Most Americans are ashamed of this stupid regime. Pray for us, we are going to need it.

this guy is a coward, calls Mr Trump stupid. Your dumb. Dont speak for us the people jackass

Canadian here. You Americans seem stupid. Trudeau is the worst leader we’ve ever had. He’s on his way out. He’s resigned. He’s a disaster. He doesn’t stand for freedom. Or freedom of speech. You people have no idea. Perhaps you could read a little bit more.

How refreshing to listen to an intelligent leader! i only take issue with him calling Trump a smart guy. Trump will never do anything but ridicule and insult Trudeau and Canada no matter what concessions Canada makes. The great thing is that Trump never had any kind of plan except to tariff the hell out of our former allies. Canada is very systematic about their tariffs against US. They are using a scalpel rather than a sledgehammer. Very smart against very stupid, childish, and undisciplined.

At first, reading the comments, I thought, who are all these stupid people, then I realized this is a CNN audience.

Trump looks as a stupid Dummy in comparison with the presidents of Canada and Mexico?

The fact that Trump won electoral and popular vote, proves that there are more stupid people in the U.S. than smart people. I myself did NOT vote for Trump. I really think stupid people don't know they are stupid, so there's that.

Trump is a puppet and Bozo full stupidity who thinks he so smart and beyond everyone in life...

American here. Trump is an incompetent man! Not only is his trade war with Canada, Mexico, and China breathtakingly stupid, it also raises prices for Americans, costs American factories jobs, and isolates us from our allies. And just today, Trump paused aid/arms to Ukraine. Putin has no incentive to make concessions now, knowing that Trump has cut off arms to Ukraine. Our apologies to your Canada. We are fucked! If you could put a 100% tariff on Tesla, you'd be doing us a HUGE favor.

Lots of idiots making comments in here I see. No knowledge just stupid lefties making stupid comments. This guy destroyed Canada. Worst Prime minister ever! He is the problem

Trump is literally fucking stupid for this

I will never understand how so many Americans thought it was a good idea to vote for someone who’s clearly stupid and who lies about practically everything. How? The whole world watched this horror show and knew exactly what was happening. \nI will never understand how anyone can trust a narcissistic idiot like Donald. This pathetic excuse of a man makes me sick. ?

Trump is evil, stupid, racist, idiot, and all the bad words that exist.

I think Trump , Vance, Musk, and their supporters are morons. Justin Trudeau correctly reaction to Trump’s stupidity.

If you are Canadian, I would leave the USA immediately because there are American Hillbillies that are stupid enough to run you off the road. Sad day in America..so sorry Canada!!

Time to get out of Dodge! ??‍♂️ ? ✈️ ? ? ? ?️ “Trump is stuck on stupid!”
