Sorry Mr Trudeau, but Trump is NOT a very smart guy. He is dumber than stupid!

lol two words that don’t go together, “smart” and “trump”

Donald is not a smart guy!!!

Weird to have a smart leader.

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.

He is not smart, he is an illiterate bully

Well Played Premier JT! Your delivery was ?. I love how you purposefully quoted the Wall Street journal too. You made it very clear that you, JT are not the one who is saying “Donald is smart”, while using his first name like he disrespectfully uses yours. Stroke his pathetic ego! \n?\nHow will you stand up for us though? Universal basic income for all!

I agree with absolutely everything Trudeau has said in his speech except for calling Trump a smart man. Trump is definitely not smart, quite the opposite. I understand that Trudeau needs to have his ego stroked, but lying to the world about Trump‘s intelligence is pointless. Those Americans, who ARE smart must remove Trump and the Republicans from office ASAP

I am Canadian. Trump might be smart. To smart. Thus has let Russia put a nose ring in. THINK BRICS. APRIL 2nd if Canada and all EUROPE JOIN BRICS what is going to happen to the US dollar? IT WILL CRASH!!! CHINA RUSSIA INDIA and many more are in BRICS. THE USA PETRO DOLLAR IS IN JEOPARDY NOW. CONGRATS TRUMP ... THE ART OF THE DEAL is going to really hurt the USA. I fell sorry for the people of the USA. I fell sorry that CANADA has to cut off our power, electricity, our oil, our water, our nuclear energy and more. ... God help us all. This is WWIII and will not end well for anyone.

PM Minister Trudeau said one thing wrong. The orange Hitler is not smart. Trump is as dumb as a box of rocks.

A smart man? ?The con has a string of bankruptcies including the recent bitcoin scam.

I disagree on one point. Donnie is not a smart man. I realize Trudeau was just being diplomatic though.

He's not smart...He had 4 or 5 casino's go bust. Even the mob skimming like crazy did not bankrupt a casino......FFS

why cant we have smart, nongeriatric leaders in the US?

Donald has nothing to do with smart.

The Good smart thinking people in America ?? do NOT want ? Trump making bad relations with Canada ?.

Trump has made us the enemy of every country except Russia. Not smart. The u.s will feel this. When people like Warren Buffet says this is an act of war well if you have spent time in the military you know trade wars are acts of war. America brace yourself.

I'm with Canada! It is ridiculous to start a trade war with our closest allies. Trump is an idiot bully, who thinks he is smart and strong, but he is weak and sucks up to our enemies.

From a proud Canadian living in Spain for 25 years, I'm supporting you my fellow Canadians! I've stopped ordering products from the USA... I won't step foot there until this imbecil is kicked out of office by smart Americans. Trudeau you were even being nice when calling dumb orange man smart.

A smart man? He is nothing less than an absolute dumb prick...

Great speech. One thing though, Trump isnt smart. But I understand, toddler Trump is very sensitive..

PM Trudeau called trump smart....he reached WAY down for that one. These are NOT smart men moves. Kudos to Canada for NOT backing down.

I will make one correction. Trump is a very stupid man. Nothing smart about him.

Trump is a very smart man —LOL

He is not very smart

wow, this gentlemen gave applause to veteran nazi, so smart thank you

Smart people will be moving to places like Canada.

trump is NOT A SMART GUY!!!! dumb as a post... impeach the idiot

Wow ! A President that speaks on not just English…but we got one here that can barely speak or understand English! A trade war with our neighbors is not smart is Dumb! Just Dumb!!!

I am glad how he referred to djt as donald, not as the President trump. However, I don't agree with saying that donald is smart. djt is dumb as a rock.

We know that our president is a frigging idiot, but the fact he *noticeably* drops his language grade level when “talking directly to” Trump and says “we’ve done *big things*” twice and calls him a “very smart guy” and pulls it into a schoolyard metaphor of “two friends fighting.”\n\nI couldn’t wrap my head around how we got saddled with this joke of a human in 2016. \nCouldn’t fathom how it was close in 2020.\nWant to vomit every day that we allowed this deep, unchecked harm to befall us, our allies, and the entire world. \n\nI keep wanting to just wake up.\nI feel so insane that we seem to have literally no power to stop this, and that the *entirety* of the GOP is completely fine with this. They have the power, but truly with small margins. But they’re just … all complicit in this.\n\nAnd even NOW, when it’s clearly going to fuck the economy and markets in ways that hurt actual corporations (who truly run it all now, from all sides of the political aisle except what seems like 5 social Dems/independents federally), even THE MONEY isn’t talking.

What does one expect from supposedly a smart guy who had bankrupt his businesses 6 times?? Trump's an idiot and he's taking We the People down with him!

Trump is not a smart man. And he’s on the side of Putin, North Korea and China.\nHe’s pure evil

Trump a very smart guy? ?? He bankrupted his Casinos for God’s sake!

Good speech except... Donald? A smart man? Please. He's dumb as a rock!!!

The reason is so juvenile. DT doesn’t like Trudeau personally because he said things about him that bruised his ego. He’s not that smart.

Smart, NOT, Never has been. Dddrump

51st cut the bs before the canadian people remove you the hard way. i like you brother though smart guy youve trashed canada

As an American canada have the right to retaliate. Its too bad that US have overly smart president that somehow overflow from his head????

Thank you Mr. Prime Minister for an incredibly important and well read speech! One thing though....Donald Trump is NOT SMART!! Donald Trump cares about Donald Trump! He cares about RETRIBUTION against people who dislike or laugh at him. He is a GIANT NARCISSIST and a PATHOLOGICAL LIAR!! He would rather be BUDDIES with DICTATOR Vladimir Putin than with any allies! Trump is TANKING the economy and CRASHING the Stock Market which also includes people's retirement funds. DONALD TRUMP IS 100% A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER!!! HE NEEDS TO BE IMPEACHED, REMOVED, AND IMPRISONED!!! HIS ENTIRE ADMINISTRATION SHOULD BE REMOVED FOR GOING ALONG WITH TRUMP!! THEY ARE ALL ACCOMPLICES!!!\n\nTIME TO WIPE THE SLATE CLEAN, SWEAR IN KAMALA HARRIS AS SHE WAS THE RUNNER UP, AND FIX WHAT DONALD TRUMP DESTROYED!!!

Can you please stop lying about Trump being smart? He never was and never will be. Muttonheaded dumbass.

Trump just made 2 announcements:\n\n1. He’s cutting off military aid to Ukraine, which has large deposits of rare earth minerals, basically handing it off to Putin on a silver platter.\n\n2. TSMC, a Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturing company is investing $200 billion dollars in the US and he’s taking credit for the creation of jobs this will generate.\n\nWhat do you need to make semiconductors? Rare earth minerals! Anyone smart enough to put two and two together would know that Trump, Musk and Putin are in cahoots to take Ukraine’s minerals and the meeting with Zelensky in the Oval Office in front of cameras was just to corner him and make him look like an ungrateful dictator so Americans would rally against him and justify cutting off military aid.\n\nThe Republicans in congress are set to make a pretty good fortune by playing defense. Enough money to not give a d@mn about reelection. It’s all corruption. Turning our backs on our allies and cozying up with dictators just so Trump, Musk and their buddies can add more billions to their bank accounts!

I hope EU will be also that smart and strong when Trump will set the tariffs here. I mean with words and actions, like in this polite but also strong and honest speech. We are with you and also Mexico and I hope we will become closer allies than we already are! We need each other in this hard times against russia and it seems also against trump.

Thank sir. Smart man, sorry for us american, bc of a dumb. Drump

I have to disagree with Trudeau. Trump is NOT a very smart guy.

A few decent, brave and smart leaders are still left in this world. What a difference with Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, Maduro, etc. this is a dark age for mankind

??? He's NOT a smart guy.....he's the stupidest president EVER. Orange idiot.

UM TRUMP IS NOT SMART!

Obviously Trump is NOT a VERY SMART guy....he is NOT my president...I am american but I am ashamed and embarrassed for the USA....

sad he had to pretend that orangutan was smart, definitely untrue but the pathological narcissist cant listen to anyone who isnt glazing him. pathetic human
