Fact check: donald is not a smart guy.

Stop giving him credit Trudeau ? ? Trump is not smart, he's just a stu*pid spoil brats pretending to be smart and everyone knows that he's stup*d

If CF Chump is a “very smart guy”, he hides it well.

The Orange Dicpotato is not smart at all, I'd say more conniving, sleazy, and immoral

Only thing I disagree with president Trudeau is\nDonald is not smart \nEverything he says and does is dumb

Donald is not a smart guy. Bankrupted a casino and 5 other times.

The people who killed Eric, my loved one who was murdered in the World Trade center, came in through Canada; not that I'm upset blut it. I just wish they never could've lied their way through to kill someone they never knew, whio WASN'T greedy OR evil but died for it anyway while we watched it happen. Does anyone know what that feels like? I felt like I was standing in the 9th circle of Dante's hell.\nJust like I feel right now. Being punished for something I DIDN'T do again. Punish HIM. He's the one doing it.\nMary Trump has never called him smart. She's his niece.

WATCH AND SEE CHINA STEP UP AND BECOME THE LEADER AND MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. We used to have that title, but thanks to Trump we will go down as smart an embarrassment ?

It's news to me that Donnyboy is a very smart guy!

Donald a smart guy?!! Are u kidding me!!! He’s a freaking joke!! He’s destroying our country and our people and our allies and loving the dictators!! ?????

did he just say you're a very smart guy to Trump? ?

Good Speech and Plan. Canada, you are helping the people of the USA by helping to get Trump out of power. The sooner the better for us all. Just one nit -- Trump is not a very smart guy.

I love finally we have a strong smart president ??❤❤

Until we fix the bully, do what you have to do to protect yourself. Smart folks know fentanyl traffic is less than .08% coming from your borders. HE is scared to bully the real threats and agitators like Russia, North Korea and somewhat China so he is picking on Canada to ‘appear’ tough to his ignorant base that is working so much due to low wages, that there have no time to read or watch anything other than his propaganda.

Just to be clear.....nobody, absolutely nobody, besides the uneducated maga's, thinks that Trump is smart in any way. Justin is just being extremely polite.

Trump is anything but a smart guy. Other than that: a very good speech.

He's NOT a smart man.

Trudeau is a liar Trump is not a smart person he is a imbecile

Come on Trudeau , everything you said was all good and well until you said trump is smart ?

Trudeau made one key factual error. Trump is not a very smart guy.

As a US citizen, who voted for Trump three times, i never thought id agree with Trudeau. \nThe US cannot win a trade war, the US versus the world. It's simple mathematics, and in the geopolitical realm, What Trump is doing is going to push countries away from US influence. \nI'm all for putting the US first, I'm all for cutting the federal government fat, and I'm all for making sure we the people come first, but I'm also smart enough to know that anytime the US has gone into isolationism, it's led to global conflict.

lol at him calling Trump smart hahahaha. He is the most stupid person to ever hold any power. He wouldn’t last 30 mins at a McDonald’s.

Trump is NOT a smart man, he is the dumbest person to ever occupy the White House and he is destroying our country and all relationships with our allies. He is a traitor and a fool and what Trudeau is doing is the correct response to a rabid dog biting its friends.

It is very hard to disagree with anything that the PM said EXCEPT saying, against all evidence, Trump is a very smart guy. Trump is so stupid he doesn't realize how stupid he is.

President Trudeau smart man . God SAVE USA citizens.

I only disagree with one thing he said (saying Trump is a smart guy lol).

A Canadian here - I disagree with Trudeau, trump is not a smart guy, I can't say what I want about the grifter-in-cheif, it goes against community standards.

The Traitor Trump is NOT smart. He's a dumb ass BULLY !

The prime minister is wrong. Trump is NOT a smart guy. But he is doing what Putin wants - weaken the West.

I totally disagree with JT calling DJT a smart guy. LOL! I wouldn't call him anything else other than an absolute russian Trojan horse moron.

Trump is clever, not smart. And a person giving his/her word means literally nothing to him.

Trump IS dumb. He's not smart, can barely read. Makes them draw pictures to explain intelligence briefings.

Trump is not even close to being smart. The six time bankrupt is bending over backwards to give Putins Russia everything it asks for. Trump is now a puppet of Putin.

Very smart??????????

If they legalize fentanyl they won't have a problem with illegal fentanyl. Smart, like Donald. ?

Mostly true.. Except the part where he said Donald was smart ?

7:45 Calling Trump smart is an understatement...

I disagree with the prime minister that comrade Trump is a smart man.

DT? The American president who wants to be remembered as a “peacemaker”? And he starts a NEW WAR? Not with one country but with two and God knows with who else will he go after. Power and Money hungry fool. \nAmericans when are they going to wake up. D Trmp is NOT God. Constantly claims in every tv moment he REPEATS his prerogative that “no war would have started if he was in power 4 years ago” and he tries to get two wars stop with an special ‘noble peace’ title interest. Make it clear. Trmp is NOT God. And he is not smart as he claim he is. He uses fear to get anyone fear him. Millions around the world have no respect for this man. I don’t think God is actually happy with this man. He is getting old just like Biden and soon his cognitive will decline too. He is already crunching bending forward and can verily hold his head straight up and the bulge in his back shows he is tired. Will see him soon sleeping in front of cameras.

Mr Trudeau, you sugar coated it. Djt is not smart. He is dumber than a box of shit.

Great press conference ! The one dumb thing Trudeau said is : « Donald you are a very smart guy » ?

trump IS NOT A SMART PERSON I DISAGREE THIS IS WHAT SOME OF THE AMERICANS PEOPLE VOTED FOR NOW THEY ARE GOING TO PAY FOR PUTTING A MAN THAT'S INSANE IN THE WHITE HOUSE. I STAND WITH UKRAINE AND CANADA.

The Canadian tariffs imposed on US goods, will hurt Canadian consumers, and US manufacturers. How does this help America? Secondly, it has been reported that Russia is funding the manufacturing of the illegal Fentanyl that gets smuggled into our country, and around the world. Finally, TRUMP IS NOT SMART!

donald has never been smart, just a clever grifter and a bully.

Nobody ever said, with a straight face, that the orange blob is a smart man. \nThey need to turn off the power they send to the US. They need to order Starlink out of their country. They need to put a 100% tariff on all Tesla products, all products from Kentucky, Tennessee, floridumb, texass, and every other red state. They voted for this, it's what they wanted, so make it hurt hard.

The Wall Street Journal is just being polite, the guy is not smart, he's a moron. I knew it ever since he went down the escalator.

Maga to really feel it now with these tariffs. The rest of us will suffer too, but red states it's going to be worse. You notice he had to sprinkle in a little compliment to trump calling him smart. The world knows trump is the dumbest president we have ever had. that man won't read.

One disagreement Mr Trudeau: Trump is “very smart guy”? Nope. He certainly is “clever” which is what delineates smart from “criminal con man”. Clever is what he uses for his grift, with American citizens and the national stage as his target market, to line his pockets along with the pockets of his cronies, the ultra rich. The bright note is that there is a huge collective of Americans who see Trump for what he is. We are NOT supportive of any of this nonsense since 1/20/2025. Musk/Trump/Vance are an embarrassment we did not vote for. We stand with Ukraine, Canada, and Mexico who echo normal reason.

Trump, smart? I think not. This is one element that Justin said that i disagree with.
