To call that orange-faced parasite 'smart' is beyond laughable! It's hysterical!! He's the dumbest person in the room to be doing what he's doing!! Bullies aren't smart! That's why they bully!! The only thing drumpf is good at is bullying!! Canada doesn't back down from bullies!! We stand up to them!! If they want to fight dirty, we'll fight dirtier!! We don't like wars of any kind, but if we're pushed, WE WILL FIGHT BACK!!! What I find the saddest of all is that it's all us little guys on both sides of the border that are paying the price because of a narcissistic misogynistic megalomaniacal who's done nothing but spread hate and chaos everywhere he goes and his rich oligarchs who care more about money than they do about the workers who's labour helped make them rich!! If it wasn't for the little guy, they'd have NOTHING!! \n?? TRUE NORTH STRONG AND FREE!!\n? FOREVER!!

? Awesome!!! Donald is doing the dumbest actions ever.. Making America Gross Again.

I wouldn't go as far as to say Trump is a smart guy!!! This was one of the dumbest things he's done and there's been plenty!!!

What times we live in :D America becoming ally with Russia which leader putin is nothing else like Stalin or other soviet leaders. And America is becoming enemy not only with Europe but also with closest ally Canada :D What the hell is going on? China celebrating now. USA had veroius presidents good ones, bad ones, smart ones and dumb ones, but this one is no doubt the worst and dumbest one ever.

Trump compared to every last world leader isn’t even close. Imagine Trump sounding anything like this or speaking with such eloquence. Our President has to be the dumbest person on earth

Bordering states about to feel tf out of this. Man, this could potentially go down as the dumbest move by any president of all time. Stay warm bordering states lmao

Donald Trump is dumbest president ever

Donald is not a smart man, without any doubt he is the dumbest leader I've seen in my 74 years.

I am not Canadian, nor American and neither Mexican. But I think everyone can see how the US president is acting the dumbest way possible.

This what happens when the dumbest people in America elect a clown for President, and cheerleaders for him in Congress.

Trump is not a smart man. In fact, he is one of the dumbest humans to walk the earth. Facts matter.

WHAT HAS TO DO WITH PUTIN ? DUMBEST COMMENT EVER ?

Trudeau has got to be the dumbest politician in the world..an idiot.

Born a liar always a liar this is who trump is and he will continue to liar to the dumbest Americans who believes whatever he says. What a dumbest tariff decision!!!

I wish he, and every politician spoke this clearly, succinctly and truthfully all the time\nExtremely well put. This is truly the dumbest trade war in history, and I curse whatever moron first whispered about the scourge of tariffs in Trump's ear.

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

Trump is very talented doing “ a very dumbest thing to do”. ?

As an American I can tell you: This started to hurt since the moment the US president floated the idea. Now we will be seeing even higher inflation and those who will suffer the most are the mass voters of DJT.\n100% this by far is the dumbest thing he has done since that time he wanted people to be injected Clorox to kill Covid.

Trump is playing 4D Chess calling out the world’s dumbest leaders first. Then he will let them bury themselves just like Zelenskyy and this Canadian Wanker.

Drugs is nothing but an excuse… Canada isn’t sending drugs… we don’t have the population to make enough drugs to supply the USA. That’s literally the dumbest excuse and if Americans believe that they are dumber than I thought. If your having people or drugs coming in to you country then fix whatever your border agents are doing that’s allowing that. Use your head America… you’re loosing your freedom to a tyrant.

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

Indigenous Canadian Here I Really Hope The Tariffs War End It's Literally The Dumbest Trade War Ever To You All American's I Hope You All Get Through This

The dumbest trade war in history

What does anyone expect DT is the dumbest president in 250 yrs of A Democratc Republic!

Fentanyl seizures going “into” the US from Canada is now so low is almost non-existent. Meanwhile Canada just seized 8.5 tonnes of cocaine going “from” the US into Canada just this week. Canada suffers way more illegal drugs and guns coming across the US border than the US has across the Canadian border. This is all the dumbest trade war declaration in history.

Simply, dumbest little man in history. Trump has the biggest little man syndrome I’ve seen.

Musk ideas for Trump to do the dumbest thing...??

Damnit! I hate that we have the dumbest presidents Elon tRump Vance

It’s not the US!!! It’s the dumbest president of the United States and the trumpets that don’t know anything about nothing!!!

This is the dumbest and cruelest president ever in USA. Off with his head if he wants to act like King! Metaphorically

Creating conflict with your closest neighbor and ally is the dumbest thing to do seriously ??‍♀️ ???

Democrats are about the dumbest people in the world....Perfect example democrats voted for Joe Biden a man that became the worst president in history... His own party kicked him to the curb... Oh wait Biden was running the country... It was the democratic staff members... Under democrats 2021-2024 American house holds was paying out an extra $1,500 a month and democrats wanna cry about stuff.... There's a reason democrats lost the election ?????

That makes Donald Trump the dumbest person to ever occupy the Oval office in history. What a shame!!!! I am proud of Justin Trudeau.

This is exactly what Trump wants to destroy America!!!! to bring on techtocracy or maybe just to make his allies in Russia happy.. It's either that or he is the dumbest president in American history... I've never understood why anybody thought that he gave a damn about anybody but himself or was capable of doing anything that would benefit the American people. But here we are.. there was voter suppression at the very least. It's hard to know what to believe about all that. But I do know many people regardless voted for him. 30% did not vote. Which I do understand. As there is a genocide happening.. but at this point, I have to believe that even amongst the majority of his supporters he is not supported by the majority, major majority of the United States. The republican Congress has shown their true colors of being anti-constitutional . But they are redeemable. Do the right thing if you are in government if you have any power at all, stand up. And for the rest of us, Americans including the ones that voted for Trump let your voices be heard. Before we become something similar to Russia. And I go to prison for this comment.

Trump, Vance and musk and the congressional R are all the dumbest in our nation. The majority of Americans agree with you and Zelenskyy. May god bless your country and deal with the fools R politicians of USA.

The WSJ could not be more wrong about felon trump being a smart individual. He has shown time and time again that he is the dumbest person to ever sit in the White House. trump knows very little about business, communication, tact, generosity, and kindness. trump is all for trump. It's as simple as that. trump hates America, and sides with a war criminal, a dictator, and murderer. Save America. IMPEACH trump NOW!

Man I can not stand trump... I do not get what people where thinking voting him back in.. this is the dumbest thing to elect a man that's so much in to being a Putin puppet.... but what can ya do.. I cant afford to move somewhere else...

Can I move there, I am a 73yr old female that have never seen such craziness and I am ashamed, of how the hatred and inhumane EVIL treatments of Trump and all his Supporters. I see DUMB, DUMBER, AND DUMBEST!!!!

The dumbest people wouldn't have elected this Idiot... well done America

Dumbest thing will be when this ends and Canadians go back to business as usual without having learned a single thing. Again.

Wharton School of Business professor William T. Kelley — “Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had”

The most dumbest people to ever exist are the ones. In charge of running this country..... Just let that sink in

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 is not a smart guy. He one of the dumbest.

Trump is a very, very silly individual. His reasoning is unfounded completely. This is the absolute dumbest move Trump could ever implement. As a nation Canada can diversify and obtain new trading partners. Asia and Europe are already negotiating with us to purchase our oil and gas etc..

this is time when American nation have to show the World they won't stay with Trump's dumbest economic and external politic

The Liberal Party of Canada turning its back on Britain, our ancestral homeland, in favour of the USA just because of geographic proximity was the singularly dumbest decision Canada ever experienced.\n\nCut ties to the USA and restore what we had with the Commonwealth, and develop our relationship with Europe. I am sick of Americans.

This is the dumbest timeline all thanks to Trump

He's gonna be known as the dumbest president in the world, not as the president that took care of you like he should. Why would you want your name to be like that

It was nice of Trudeau to call Trump a “very smart guy”. He’s not. He’s one of the dumbest people to ever be in politics.
