It's so bad that you have to paint Trump's belly in order not to make things worse just because you're telling the truth.\n\nAnyway, I have a lot of respect for Trudeau, he's a REALLY smart guy. I wish we had him as chancellor in Germany, instead of Darth Merz Vader who unfortunately awaits us here for the next 4 years. But well, one look at the USA is enough to see that it can get much, much, much worse.

Actually the convicted felon is not smart. At 12:01 he showed the world how stupid he really is. he should burn his s**tty book, the fart of the steal, and seek advice from someone with a brain that understands economics. undoubtedly the idiot doesn't understand that he loses also. And the clown rages on.

He's greedy, selfish, and a bully oh and lets not forget a 34 time felon, oh yah and Perverted old man and if thats not enough he's a R***est however being Smart isn't one of His traits ... And don't get me started on the people who voted for this fool.

As a European having lived in both Canada and the United States for prolonged times, my view is this: Canadians are basically the same as Americans but with Health Care. They have a common heritage and history and this is like a brother turning evil and hurting its siblings. Trump is smart? I don't think so, he comes across as a low IQ individual born with privileges, heck he has been bankrupt what is it four times? Right now he thinks he is making America Great again but instead he is on a path to bankrupt even the US Economy. These kind of things in history often have caused actual physical War and he talks about Zelenski is toying with a 3rd world war. Wouldn't it be funny (and not in a comical sense) if in fact Trump causes the 3rd world war with his actions instead?

I am an American and I did NOT vote for that orange blob and these really dumbass tariffs. I voted for the smart, black woman!!! I do NOT want to hear ANYONE who voted for that orange dunce complain about the high prices!!

I am sure Trudeau had to cross his fingers as he said Trump was smart ?????

Is Trump really smart? Not sure why Mr. Trudeau felt like calling him smart ?

one has to stand up to bullies, trudeau I know what your doing calling trumpie smart its fine, also know you know he's not smart , a smart person does not hurt people in my country or yours.

We stand with ??. I’m an American and wants Canada to stand on business do not back down from trump. Showing love from North Carolina. It will hurt the American people but a lesson needs to be learned. We smart Americans with logic sense stand 10 toes down with Canada. Handle your business sir… we are with you. We have had enough with this fool and he needs to be gone by all means necessary. Time to take the gloves off AMERICANS and get this idiot out of office. ???

Smart guys don't make dumb decisions. Trump is not a smart guy.

Canada President was right about protecting his country, but his wrong about Trump, he not a smart guy….. he’s a Russian sympathizer trying to take over the world….. I’m embarrassed to have him as our president United States.

Come on, he’s definitely not a “smart guy” lol even his mother called him an idiot

You were wrong at one point only, Trump is not smart, he is as dumb as his actions. In a few weeks he messed up the free western world holding hands with Putin?! Used to love the US and went there every year for holidays.. now we will go to Canada.. as a Swede I think I would like both the land and the people. Your president seems to be great?

No, Donald is NOT a smart man. He has a long history of doing dumb things.

Why do people keep saying that Trump is a smart man? He’s not that smart if he bankrupt his company so many times, and he’s not that smart if he can’t keep himself from being manipulated by other people. He’s a grifter and an opportunist. No better than a three card Monty player on the street corner

With all due respect, you lost me when you said that trump is a very smart guy (he's actually a moron).

Trudeau is a stinking liar. Donald is NOT a smart man. Come on Justin, get the facts right!

Trudeau was never ever seen as a smart man. It is a mockery for a fool to call a genius dumb. Aka: Same as AOC calling Elon Musk not smart. AOC's brain cells could barely count to 100. \nBut honestly, this fool Trudeau who is resigning because in the end he proved worthless and like a little lap dog had to snap at President Trump as he is ready to be ousted because he, himself knows that in today's world he is totally incompetent. \nMost true Americans know President Trump is right. And though we disagree on making Canada our 51st state, because we prefer to have it as our personal Democrat reject dump site.\nThe Stock Market downfall you can rest assured are more of the Democrats boycotting America which we have always known to back stab America every chance they get. Democrats have always been Americas traitors, and we wouldn't expect any different from them now.

You are very smart This is a very dumb thing to do. That is SUGARCOATED

trump is NOT smart he says he knows big words... just because beautiful has 9 letters doesn't mean it's a big word. trum.p has ruined America

Yet, a majority of Canadians are so full of hatred themselves and want to replace Trudeau with a Trumper named Pierre Poilieve. This is how stupid people are all over the world, this is not just a US thing. The Trump propaganda forced Trudeau to step down for no real reason. He let in too many immigrants yes,,but so did every other world leader, thats it, but enough for the Canada Trumpers to throw away free health care. Trunpers in Ontario just won a landslide with Dictator Doug Ford.\nOnce Pierre Poilieve takes charge we will be paying for healthcare and a 51st state. \nCanadians are making the same mistake due to fake news and propaganda by Trumpers/Truckers. Those Canadians dont want free health care anymore, they want Pierre Poilieve's hate filled agenda over a smart well spoken guy like Trudeau. Just watch and see...Canada is about to f up bad..

A smart guy doing stupid things? Stupid is who does stupid things , right Forest?

Smart people don’t make dumb decisions. Trump appears to be a moron.

I don't think he is smart

I want him to be my leader…almost anyone but Trump.Trump isnt a smart guy, he’s a great conman

Trump is not smart:) He is as dumber as dumb:(

First smart thing that guy has ever done ....good job

When calling the orange a very smart guy he's talking to the toddler.

NAFTA was stupid. But a USCAN OR CANUS would've been fine. We shipped jobs to Mexico. But we cannot screw with our partner to the North. Raw materials is what Canadians have provided for 20 years! Trump is not being smart here. Not at all. Eggs are already at 10 dollars per dozen. Now everything will go up.

He’s not smart, don’t pander him?

Ok…. When did Trump become a “smart guy”? He makes some pretty dumb decisions…

DJT is jealous of Trudeau's hair and the eyeing he gets from Melania. Trudeau and WSJ are wrong, DJT is not a smart man.

Attaching Smart and Trumplforeskin in the same sentence is like Oil and Water could ever mix without beating them senselessly into one thing.

Trudeau called the US President smart (?) because that is what he wants to hear to boost his small ego.

Trump is not a smart man, he rather is a cunning criminal bastard....

He is right except the part about Donny boy being smart.

How can a person that ran two casinos to the ground be considered smart?

If he was really smart he wouldn't have had so many foreclosures and bankruptcies with his casinos and hotels and other things

Trudeau is my hero. I wish our country had a government run by ppl this smart.

Don’t tariff America. As a Canadian two wrongs don’t make it right. Get the energy out. Triple our global output. Our autoworkers need jobs well let’s build Trudeau. Talk and winning. Global energy. Let BYD in with out tariffs. We don’t have an auto sector anymore. ? BYD and get over it ( the eagles ?). Trump is correct at our lack of defence. Maybe this will help. The only way to scourge out of fentanyl is a clean source and less social stigmatization of the sick. Don’t expect a smart man like trump to figure that out.

Prime Minister Trudeau was diplomatic in saying trump is smart. He is a bully and doing what he has always does well, bullying others and siding with another bully, putin!! Who does that? A loser, that's who.

Great speech!! I only have my doubts about the part 'you are a smart guy...'. It's polite, but not true. Trump is dumb as hell.

I wish we had a smart, sane leader like this. Trump has made our country look stupid.

This American would love to have a leader as smart and principled as this again. I stand with Canada.\nOne thing that I would disagree with, though. Donnie is not smart. The Orange Skidmark has some serious cerebral issues.

Trueau was wrong .. Trump is not a very smart guy.. He's an idiot! Please make no mistake and know of the idiocy you are dealing with!

This trade war has zero justification in reality. It will only end up hurting consumers on both sides of the border and drive the economy into a recession. Trump is NOT a smart man, he just thinks he is. ?

Frump is NOT smart whatsoever! Dum as a rock!

Trump isn't smart ? \nHe's a fool!!! Real Americans stand behind Canada and Mexico ?

That is really true what Trudeau said. Trump is a smart guy, but he's acting stupid.\n Trump may quite possibly be smoking crack

Mr. Trudeau you made a mistake when you said Trump was a very smart guy. We know he’s not.??????
