Trump’s thirst of power is destroying this beautiful country, its people, its friendship with other countries. Is there a way Trump can get fired? He is useless and stupid.

Real Americans are on the side of Canada , it's a shame how one sad excuse of a so called man has caused so much damage in such a short time and the stupid people thinks he is doing great work , anyway , Canada most of America is behind you and as an American I will do my best to buy what I can that's made in Canada

trump is a dangerously stupid man, who is now a Russian asset plain and simple

I go to Canada every year. I have lots of relatives. This whole thing is stupid trump's a moron

Boo the US anthem any chance you get.. thx for hurting my business dump. ? #1 always\nAmerica the stupid

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

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

Don't know if im stupid but just handle your border?

I'm an American and I don't want this, I didn't vote for this, I'm upset by this, and I'm by no means the only American that thinks trade war with Canada is stupid, half the countries number one imports came from Canada, tariffs on a trade partner and Ally is absurd!

????? When Canadian had to yell at you and call you stupid, You really are..

How can you take a president who called his predecessor STUPID on national television to be sane and not a lunatic? Smh??? Americans have regret voting for this lunatic millionaire.

the united states allows the flow of drugs into our nation and then we blame other nations for the problem we create and prop up. the cia has a long history of drug running. the war on drugs is literally a way to aide and abet cartels? why is it the cartels have us military hardware? americans love using drugs, thats just the simple truth. and now trump is doing everything in his power to allow the large corporations to increase their prices for their goods with these tariffs. its why his first term added 8 trillion to the debt and he is scheduled to add even more this time in 4 years. trump caused the inflation to help the super wealthy and corporations. and now he is doing it again. and americans are too stupid to realize it.

As an American, I am very sorry for this to Canada and Mexico. I didn't vote for this clown, I didn't vote for stupidity. This is really, really unnecessary and it's all about the f'ing rich. Our so called President is an idiot bafoon.

Like most Canadians, I hate Trudeau and can't wait for him to be gone, and hopefully in jail for what he did to this country\nBUT\nThat was a pretty good speech. Hopefully Pierre Polievre will be able to fix all this stupid.\n\nELBOWS UP!

He just called trump stupid. ? Well it does track. Trump is not a smart man. Just listen to him ramble.

As an American, I would rather see the US become a 4th territory of Canada, instead of watching our country be destroyed daily by the amateur fascist that a feeble and feckless Attorney General Merrick Garland allowed to escape justice, and to become the 47th president with the help of a psychotic South African billionaire, and 49% percent of our population who is too fucking stupid to NOT worship at the dangly scrotum of trump and putin.

Donald will not listen, nor will the poorly educated who voted for him, but everybody bar the rich will be adversely affected by his stupidity and cons....and economies around the World will be harmed especially in the US.

Trump is so stupid. You can’t bully people and get away with it. He is a dope

My country is not anything I ever dreamed. It’s shameful, we are so stupid to allow this Rump to go on.

Mr. Trudeau, don't waste your time to talk to Trump. Trump is that stupid thug who never makes sophisticated thoughts. Trump is playing some PC game, and people are of no worth for him. Neither american, nor any others. Trump is pathetic liar, who will keep doing stupid things. Presedency is just a game for that thug to have some fun in his otherwise senseless life.

No Teleprompter, No name calling, just calm logic. Trump, in his abject stupidity, does not realize he is hurting Americans as much as Canadian, nor does he care. I would only challenge Trudeau on calling Trump 'smart' - only Trump thinks he is smart. He is a semi-literate moron.

When the willfully stupid vote stupid, we get stupid in charge. Everyone suffers the consequences along with the stupid. What else would we expect?

I cannot stand Trudeau... but this is one of the best speeches he's made... well, apart from calling Trump 'smart' ! Putin must be having a giggle fit over this stupidity.\nTrump is a traitor to the USA and its people ?

its not we American its Don The Con the Elected FELON and is baffoons he has surrounding him thats doing this and for his stupid selfishness we as Americans apologize

Great leader!!! Not a stupid orange piss of usa.

How is this gonna hurt Americans is he stupid really, he more scared hurting then we are and also maybe they need to fix the bs of if you have a dui in usa and did your time , they can recharge yoi with it there and thats stupid , Canada get your crap right

Stupid US government.\nStupid voters.\nTo think that tariffs are good for the American economy.\nGood for American workers and consumers...

He needs to do what he can to ruin Trump! But there are also stupid voters that aren't going to change their mind about the idiot? They can suffer too. Since it will hurt red states more. ???

Dictator putin and dictator trump decided divide world, stupid bloody beeches.

You have Trudeau; we have a guy with a chainsaw. Yes; we are stupid.

As a Canadian, I can assure you CNN and all Americans, Canada will not back down. Remember this pain your country will feel is not what Canadians want, but our response to your President’s stupidity and apparent new support for our mutual enemy Russia. Get you country back. You are sliding into fascism and authoritarianism. We hope you right your ship.

Within 2 months, this Drumph administration has set this entire continent up for failure. Who would want this kind of stupidity and self destruction? - only brainwashed fools and our enemies.

Looking at these comments about trump is mind blowing. Canada and all the other countries are not going to pay for our national debt!!! It’s freaking stupid to say you stand with Canada and you didn’t vote for this. . . Canada is barely hanging on too. It’s America that has been carrying all these countries for far too long and what are they giving back???!! You people need to fully understand the reality of the situation before commenting your nonsense. If anything, leave our country!! You people came here and took it from us!! Remember that!

You are an excellent neighbor Canadian. This trade war is thoughtless and stupid. As usual trump is spreading lies to justify his acts, but this will hurt the American people as much as it hurts the Canadian people. The Wall Street Journal got it right. Trumps idea is wrong.

As an American, I apologize for our President's stupidity. We didn't want this.

And listen to how eloquently and unemotionally PM Trudeau speaks. He makes sense, he is intelligent, he speaks the truth - no lies, no stupid exaggerations - wow, as an American I miss that.

As an American with common sense, I applaud Canada taking a stand against obvious tyranny and straight up stupidity.

I am Canadian, I have worked and studied in US for 6 years and I must say this is sad and stupid. Donald is not a smart guy like PM says he is sinister guy.

This is so sad. Stupid Orange ? guy making a mess. I am so embarrassed

Trump will deliver destruction, misery, unreasonableness, stupid tough talk, and more.

Stupid

Just observing from the outside, the level of stupidity makes me want to bang my head against the table until it turns to mush. But instead, I just laugh because I definitely don't want to go that far.

We are so stupid. I cannot believe my countrymen voted for this monster, and now we all pay the price.

I applaud you PM , Canada is so lucky to have you as their PM. And us here in America, are suffering with this trying hard to be smart guy, but really dumb and stupid and un-American.

In all fairness, as stupid and reckless as it is (typical ain't it), our Prez is not trying to make it easier on everyone's wallet but to attract businesses to come home.

ELBOWS UP bring it on you stupid Mango Mussolini \n\nSorry America BUT he sucks. GET LOUD GET HIM OUT\n\nWe are not booing you and you’re not booing us. Let’s unite. ❤

Thanks Donald for making Trudeau look like Canada's savior. This guy and his party were on the verge of getting kicked out before stupid Trump came along.

I hope that Canadians know we didn’t all vote for this president. He is an embarrassment to the rest of us. He did say he likes stupid voters because they believe whatever I tell them.

Then scrap the stupid carbon tax. You're killing us and it won't effect the climate!!

You can't ever debate a liar. You cantbein unless you lie first and don't stop lying. When world leaders try to use facts in any argument against Trump is like debating a liar. The stupidest person in the world who signed current trade deals is the stupidest president in the entire world. Stop using facts. Start calling him the name he hates the most, STUPID. Until you play his game, you lose, WE lose. Wise up
