I disagree with calling trump a very smart guy though.

Trump smart Guy?????????

Thank God there is someone like trudeau on the north American continent. Also he is young and smart. And has a backbone.

I was a smart one.i didn’t vote for Trump

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

Mr Trudeau, \nHere in the US we have an unstable President who is tearing down our democracy. I support Canada - He (Donald) is not a smart person …

Why did he call the Donald smart?

Donald is never a smart guy. He is Putin's robot.

Did he really say Trump is a smart man? ???? they do have some funny f'n people in that country. Lots of great comedy minds come from Canada!

What sort of creep would call Trump smart? Switched off at that point.

I can respect the flattery because that is all trump responds to... But he is FARRRRRRRR from a very smart guy. He is one of the dumbest people I have ever seen on the national and global stage

very smart guy? who are you kidding? stop suckling on that sphincter, please

Trump, a very smart individual…?? ?

We, the caring and smart ones, know anything out of orange’s mouth is crap and nothing but lies.

hmmmm.. that trump is wanting 50% of Ukrainian minerals, wants Greenland, wants Canada to be the 51st state.. it’s all mineral greed .. panama a nice real trade route.. scattergun approach to land grabbing .. vile and not smart at all

Swedish woman here ??\nThis is insanity!!!\nI have lived in both the US and Canada.\nThe Trump administration is going to ruin so much in the very near future, just because of the fact that Trump has some kind of tiny-man’s complex and wants to be Putins lackey so bad, that he is willing to sacrifice the wellbeing of the people of the country that he is suppose to shelter and help to prosper.\nJustin Trudeau is a smart, level headed politician that truly cares about his country and the people living within it.\nMonumental differences between two men with totally different agendas.

I don't know much about this guy. But why is he unpopular in Canada to the point that he resigned from office ? He looks and sounds so smart and he is working damn well for his country. I love him !

Why can’t we have a smart coherent president like this?

DT is un pendejo....he thinks is smart by doing this as we the citizens are going to pay for the mistakes he is doing against his ally countries. what smart he think he is\n...he very changes these stupids things is doing. ???

Justin was wrong about one thing tho, that orange monster is NOT a smart man. I get it, gotta be polite I guess.

OK I'm agreeing with a lot of this but Trump is not smart. He's a stupid piece of crap.

We, the caring and smart ones, don’t want this either.

Trumpster is not smart ?

I'm sure the only thing that Trump heard was Trump is smart. (I'm sure most of the world heard that as a punchline)

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

That was very kind of Justin Trudeau to call Donald Trump. A smart man because he is anything but that.

This is why happened when you vote for a fool . Trump is a joke he is not smart man he loves Russian go live with puttin you and your family!!

Americans voted for it and you GOT IT! THIS is unbelievable! The America with no friends! :( Canada's leader is smart, strong, brave, handsome and they are super lucky to have someone like him. This is NOT going to end well. :(

As an American, I really liked Trudeau's speech. I thought he did a great job explaining everything and responding to this situation. I appreciate his words to the American people. There's just one thing he said that was inaccurate... trump is NOT a smart guy!!

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!

Trump is not a very smart guy. Quit kissing his ass.

Trump is a very smart guy?! Well everything else was true at least ?

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.

I know your country is so proud of you as am I. You would be my dream president. It just requires someone smart, honest, wanting to do good instead of evil. I saw your birthday is December 25th. What a gift you are to your family and the world!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

He did say a lie. Donald Trump is NOT Smart

Canada gets a smart articulate Disney prince. ????

Justin Trudeau was wrong about one thing. Donald Trump is not a smart man.?

I wish I could have such an amazing PM in my country Japan where old spinless and dumb sleepy politicians who do nothing for people who are smart, reasonable, hardworking and ethical. Canadians are not aware of it yet, but you are so lucky to have JT. Look at the US, Japan, Russia, China, North Korea, Israel...etc...ugh.

He lied about 1 thing trump is nowhere near a smart guy

He is Dumb and it not a Smart Move, This is\n Not Going to End Well What Helll is That \n Suppose to Mean The Drama if it all and still every day\nPeople Suffer ??? Very Sad Only

Very nice, except for the part about Donald being smart. Please don't lie to us about something we can all see is obviously not true.

Trudeau is Right in everything he said Except one item .. Donald is Not Smart, If we had a President as Smart as Trudeau in America well you know what the results would be.

Is Trump a smart guy? Really? He hasn't shown it.

The reaction from the white house will be as stupid as trump himself... Something along the lines of.... Nuh uh yer dum! vladimir poopskin told me I'm smart! I fuckin despise our idiot president!

Trump is SO easily manipulated by Putin and others. All you have to do is tell him he's the victim and that he's very smart and he'll do anything you tell him.\nHis narcissism, greed and emotional retardation are destroying the USA. The number of Americans too idiotic to see it is frightening.\n\nPutin must be pissing his pants laughing at how easy it's all been.

Donald is not smart, he's a dumb shit. Why do people keep talking nice to him or about him? He's an uneducated todler that got everything he has from his daddy. History will show that he was bankrupt in 2015. All this is happening because a felon tried to stay out of jail. And he was willing to sell everything in the world to whomever in the world, just to stay out of jail. Same with Elon Musk, it was getting harder and harder to sell fantasy technology to people. So why not buy a felon, and destroy USA for Chinesse and Russian money?

As an Dominicano Trudeau is a really smart guy and I ?????

Tobadwedonthave a smart presidenttrumpISALoWIQan???????donaldisntsmart

Trump just pissing off everyone in the world; including his own citizens. Trump does what he wants. I would say he isn't a smart man.\n\nAs a Canadian, I still love my American neighbours but Donald can pump sand ??

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.
