Very disrespectful speach. Calling trump dumb and calling him donald. This pipsqueek leader will harm his own economy. U.S can absorb the impact. Canada will go into recession

Trudo must be lying when he said that Trump is a “very smart guy.” Is Trump that stupid that he doesn’t even understand that he is stupid? I don’t think so. He understands that he’s a dumb block.

Trump is a total dumb ass. A damn clown. A foolish Russian puppet.

Very dumb ??

I'm European and I really can't understand how you can make an economic trade war with an ally like Canada, a close and so friendly neighbor.... A dumb decision not only for the W Post... And all of this will end up heavily impacting Americans as well, also because besides Canada there is Mexico, China and the whole of Europe. In such a war there are no winners.... I really hope that the American people understand this and start fighting for this nonsense to end. \nAnd when I then hear President Trudeau called governor.... Well I get even more angry. This shows even more (but there was no need) who trump is. A suburban bully. A rude man. An unscrupulous man who passes over everything and everyone.\nAmerica is turning into something I no longer recognize....\n\nKeep going Canada!

He his dumb ??? and the most dumbest thing ever is what they did to Zelenskyy bullied him in front of media and billions of people all over the world is watching there probably laughing at those lunatics

Trump the dumb

Trudeau lies! Trump is by no means 'smart' in any way whatsoever. I'd say he's as dumb as a rock, but I'd be insulting some of my igneous friends.

Trump will put 100% tariffs on canadian products now! Have you learned anything from the zelensky debacle? Calling trump dumb will not be good for you?

As a patriotic American, I cannot support criminal felon traitor Trump, his anti-American, anti- democratic Maga cult!! Our current government is unconstitutional out for the millionaire and billionaires not the people!! Our constitution says we the people!! I support our allies. Trump is a bully, but he is dumb, weak and pathetic. If I have to suffer financially over Trump‘s in it leadership, I’m willing to do so. It’s a small sacrifice compared to what the people that came before me did!! Trump should not even be our president. He committed insurrection. He is a total piece of SH.l!+!!!

Shut up trudeau. He did nothing good for canada. Lets talk about facts. Cost of life have double and also debt of canada. Then resign to run away from his own dumb mistakes to not take accountablity like a little kid.

Problem is he is very dumb

Canada country United DT your USA divided leader by dumb witted DT your joke the world is against you DT

Putin is not playing Trump, they are allies.\nTrump do indeed do dumb things, but often what looks like stupidity is just evil. The US is now in the hands of Vladimir Putin. In the end russia won the cold war.

Ha ha Lol! DONALD! WSJ says you are smart, but this is dumb move - Just in Treaudu

All Americans 99% support Europeans allies ,only one person in White House “to make decisions dumb” I am with you Canada ❤❤❤ T and JD destroyed Democracy

This maga president can't even spell his name correctly. So dumb he thought signing degrees it's all stupid idiotttttta

CNN news hates Trump and anyone who does not back Trump is just as dumb as CNN is

7:50. I have to disagree w M Trudeau and the WSJ. Trump is not smart and this a dumb idea. Trump is dumb and this is a stupid idea. And I find it hilarious the as soon as Trudeau starts speaking French, CNN cuts away.

If this speech doesn’t force Trump to think again, then Trump will be cementing his Dumb actions into history and Common knowledge. This was a powerful and Concise speech.

I think he just called Trump dumb ?

DUMB decisions are only made by DUMB people. That's what it is!

Are Canadians dumb enough to buy this bull shit

Shame on America, dumb decisions being made. Cancelling my holiday there. And I am not from Canada.

Wait so if tariffs are so bad for the country imposing them and that trump is so dumb to impose tariffs why would they retaliate with tariffs if there so bad for the country imposing them? It makes no sense. If trump is wrong for imposing tariffs why respond with your own?

Speak slower please the pace is too blistering and incomprehensible for us dumb American's. We just made english our official language so please exercise patience and slow it down to no more than three words per minute.

Donald , Donald, Donald!, you dumb silly man

I really don't see where Trump is a very smart guy he is very stupid and dumb not Smate. We are Canadian, and we will stand strong and together ??????????

Stupid Dumb Trump ?

Mr. Trudeau, didn't mince words. Dumb is an understatement as it concern's trump.

Dumb Donald thinks he can extort other countries with tarrifs only for it to backfire so predictably.

Smart man but a dumb ass ??

Trumps trying to undermine and out USA allies and neighbours to their knees and take advantage of them if possible. If they kneel, he's going to milk them off them economically. ? dumb move if the US allies and friends dont budge ?

Of course, the legacy corporate media is all about filling as much time as possible distracting/diverting from the crux of the matter, the underlying major F__KING PROBLEM—trump destroying the economy and security ON PURPOSE under the direction of PUTIN. But hey, let’s focus on how dumb his actions are, not WHY.

Trump is as dumb as a brick and anyone who supports him even now……please get help.

USA got to the point when it has the worst president ever, he is very destructive , divided and dumb. He is breaking the best military force on the planet: Nato. The nightmare for Americans.

So now you call Trump dumb ?!!!!!! \nOk let see who the dumbass is

A dumb thing to do he's done a lot of stupid things that's mine the carbon tax to fuel tax house tax food tax Trudeau you've done a lot of bad things to Canadians

This is what usa put on the block when you that elected a stupid president again Donald dumb trump

Trump is a dumb? 7:42

American citizen here -- I stand by everything PM Trudeau just said 100%. (am so embarrassed I wish I could slink out of here) Americans will rightly suffer for the actions of dumb@$$ tRump. I'm sorry that the suffering extends across our borders. Stay firm Canada!!

None of this ever had to happen. A whole bunch of people are going to suffer because of this dumb thing. People in both Canada and the US will suffer and it has no benefit, certainly not to us tax revenue

Good speech. Now let’s also look at what has gone on last 9 years in Canada. Mr. Trudeau It was dumb to divide the provinces. It was dumb for you to shut down every project that Alberta had to work with other provinces and trade with other parts of the world. It was dumb for you to continually suck up to Quebec while ignoring the rest of the country. The corruption we know of that your party created such as We Charity and Arrivecan app is just the tip of the iceberg of billions of dollars you have robbed from Canadian taxpayers that could have fixed health care and provided much needed tax relief to all Canadians. While you are speaking about dumb I pray that Canadians realize and understand what the Liberal and NDP parties have done to our country the last 9 years and vote your party out. Canadians need to stop being dumb with who we have in power. We cannot keep going like this.

Well done PM Trudeau! ??? Yes its defo Dumb, i wonder who did it.???

MAGA people are too dumb to understand this. \nSorry Canada we tried. Our city voted blue but the state is too bucktooth backward.

Donald Dumb

Everyone can anticipate dumb Trump’s response - really no need to give him air time to say it. He’s a traitor to his country, its people, to his countries allies. It would be dumb to continue to cover Trump as if he is worth covering. He is no longer the leader of the free world and he is no longer the most powerful leader in the world. He has ceded that to Putin to whom he bends his knee when kissing his ass.

Trump is doing dumb stuff after Obama trump biden trump again financially ruin their own country this is stupid

Our country is screwed thanks to the complete dumb ass in charge. Let's align ourselves with our enemies and start shit with our friends. Brilliant... WTF

Trudeau has to explain how dumb trade wars are in English and in French.
