Justin just called an election. Obviously, Trump and 60% of Canadians don’t like you. Look at what you’ve done to Canada before all this. This guy and Newsom are cut from the same cloth— all talk, incompetent, and corrupt.

Its just roughly 2 mos. since the inauguration and this guy ,trump,is \ndictating and trying to rule the world.He is greedy of the power.

Zero issues with border? Brother it’s us beneath you. You got the Mexican cartels directly beneath you creating tunnels and hopping the river? Nah nah first of you can’t even live in 80% of your country so idk where this big guy talk be coming from. When the pst four years all I’ve heard FROM Canadians is how AWFUL this guy is yet noted you love him cause he doesn’t like Trump lmao pathetic country and pathetic attitude

Did you guys know that even terrorist want Trump to win?????? They too know he will destroy USA.

Trudeau hit the bell when he mentioned:- Trump, you're a smart guy..This is a very dumb thing to do..\nA nice way to skin a cat..!\n\nTrump will remove the doubt when he makes a U-turn on the tariffs as it'll make Americans suffer...in pain(economically)...

Did Trudeau just call Trump a very smart guy? ??

Trouble is, Donald Trump is NOT a very smart Guy. He is uneducated, is at times stupid and suffering from dementia.

Can agree with everything Trudeau said ‘cept that Trump is plain dumb-@ss, NOT a smart guy

Why are you giving this lying piece of shit of a prime minister any airtime whatsoever I agree with the fact that Trump is going a little overboard with the tariffs but to listen to this guy nobody in Canada wants to even see this man's face so by you even putting it on there just basically makes your station that less credible

Trumps not a smart guy he's a sly guy you can't trust his word

trump is such a fool for slapping tarriffs this guy is liviing in the 1800's, wierdo ass trump

Bunch loser mad that they have to pay no more my nice guy let’s go trump 2025

Don't flatter Trump by calling him a smart guy.

Trump, SMART GUY?.HUMMM REALLY.... SMH OK IF U SAY SO

Thank for teach Doanl Trump thta even in a battle a person in politic could be polite and you are rignt in all , Donal Trump is a president that does not how to talk polite or have a discussion with elegance this a war for everyone and hurting the world in general special our own neighbors sad to see hope this 4 years past fast so this guy can leave america LOVE CANADA

This trump dickweed is out of control, creating a authoritarian attitude and hes slowly tearing shit apart so we as citizens, have no choices, no education...anybody else feeling hopeless and helpless. This is beyond sick. Trudeau and Canada, hes a dumb guy. He is. I'm so sorry to the Candians, Mexico, and Ukraine. This idiot has no loyalty to anyone.

I support this more than Trump, and I'm sure the majority of Americans agree at this point.\n\nI can't stand the hypocrisy on immigration though. Canada has us as a buffer from a country desperate to get in, and they are still allowed to have very secure borders without getting flack.\n\nWhen America just doesn't want the faucet of immigration on full blast, we are the bad guys.\n\nThe Fentanyl excuse is absurd when it comes to Canada and the tariffs. It's a legitimate concern from the southern border. The northern border has never been an issue...

As American, in only one month of this presidency, I am poorer as my investments and the markets have tanked, we are fighting with country after country country for new reason, and we are hating each other more and more here in America. I’m sick of this Trump guy already.

Why'd Trump throw this guy a lifeline?

It's unbelievable, but.. not really coming from the Orange guy, We love our Canadian brothers and sisters, im a disabled Vet, i stand with Canada and Ukraine, most the people of the USA do not stand with Trump, or his cabinet, in his delusional thinking about fentanyl it's a made-up lie it's propaganda seriously from the northern border and not the southern border there's no drugs coming through our Northern friends he's nitpicking at anything to start this trade war

I’m European and what Trump is doing is really going to hurt USA the most. \nCause he is putting tariffs on so many. The pain for the countries that get tariffs put on them gets spread out, but for USA it gets to take the blows from all of them who retaliate back. It’s mentality insanity.\nAmericans will struggle the most from this.\nI hope you guys wake up and understand what is going on. \nDon’t believe the lies you hear from Trump. We don’t pay your tariffs, you do!\nInflation will also run amok because of this.

this guy is a coward, calls Mr Trump stupid. Your dumb. Dont speak for us the people jackass

How refreshing to listen to an intelligent leader! i only take issue with him calling Trump a smart guy. Trump will never do anything but ridicule and insult Trudeau and Canada no matter what concessions Canada makes. The great thing is that Trump never had any kind of plan except to tariff the hell out of our former allies. Canada is very systematic about their tariffs against US. They are using a scalpel rather than a sledgehammer. Very smart against very stupid, childish, and undisciplined.

Trudeau said trump is a very smart guy?

I am so proud of Canada. The rest of the world needs to step in here. Start putting tariffs on the United States and sanction Trump musk and any Republican that stands with them. Come on the world. The American people need a push to get rid of trump Canada. The true Americans love you guys

I thought you were gone Trudy. We like you Canada but we don’t really need you. We can solve the problems we get from you in 15 minutes. This guy has no problem freezing protesters bank accounts, forcing people to scan QR codes to decided who eats at a restaurant, and government sanctioned beatings of peaceful protesters because they dare stand up for freedom. Canada wake up. Trudy is a good old fashioned communist. The more he fights back against Trump, the more I know Trump is right.

Trudeau lost me when he said: Trump is a very smart guy…\nI secretly hope he meant “well dressed”

Calling Trump a very smart guy then follow it with a very dumb thing is diabolical, haha. Kudos JT! Stay strong Canadians!

Suddenly he want to fight drugs while for past years you legalize every possible drug i Canada. You should be ashamed of yourself Trudeau. When Trump wanted to put tarrifs on Canada you were gone to Portugal apart of making a deal with the guy. Now you cry like a little guy and blaming Trunp for everything while you wasnt even here to negotiate and you shut down Canadian government for your own partisan purpose and government does not exist right now in Canada just because you afraid of loosing election so you just trying to survive as a PM for as long as possible. Not trump but YOU destroyed Canada and its economy and making Canadians life harder and harder and spending our tax money all over the world

NO ONE CARES WHAT THE COMMIE HAS TO SAY.....SOME FRIEND.....FRIENDS LIKE YOU GUYS WHO NEEDS ENEMIES...AND BE OUR GUEST, FIGHT.....YOU HAVE NOTHING AT ALL THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE, SO GOOD LUCK!!!! AMERICAN PEOPLE STAND WITH TRUMP!!!!! SCREW YOU TOTO.....

Someone said Donald Trump is a very smart guy? Oh lord, that’s rich.

Trudeau grandstanding that the Canadian people will stand together. Rewind a few short years was he not the guy who’s Covid restrictions had truckers out on masse. He’s wrong if he thinks he will win a trade war with trump

@ Donald Trump I think you owe these guys a huge apology!

I never thought Trump was ever a smart guy!

Impressive. I Love how the language changed when he was addressing Trump directly “deal” “you’re a very smart guy” “big things” “dumb thing”. Then back to speaking to the adults.

...What's it going to take to impeach Trump and get rid of him and the Electric Swasticar guy ?...

Mr Prime minister, you call trump a smart guy. NO, he is an idiot, he is a criminal, a rapist, a person that stole state secrets, he possibly gave some of those secrets to dictator putin.\nA totally stupid idiot, he is in musk and putins pockets.

All these ignorant trump supporters in the comments ? how dumb are you guys

Tell me how is it that the country that most people associate with being a wimp no offense I love these guys turns out Justin Trudeau has more balls than Trump and his cabinet combined

The more this guy talks the more he unleashes the beast? USA would not need Canada with trump. Don’t get lured into this guys rhetoric ?

Donald is not a smart man of course. But, in terms of approaching a fascist and a criminal, since Canada will be hurt, Trudeau has to be the decent guy he is. Brilliant speech, the best I have heard ever. The guy is poised and knows how to speak. He is smart and compared to him, Trump is incredibly stupid. Bravo. Let me be clear, Trump is a traitor, a bully, a conman, totally lacking in compassion...he is driven by his perverse megalomania and narcissism. He is, in reality a very mentally sick man. And the Republicans are his pathetic cowardly accomplices. Given the continued support, Trump will run American into the gourd, even risk a war to get the attention he needs so badly.

Trump and duterte is same crazy guy ???

That’s the question “WHAT IS THIS REALLY ABOUT” there is something very wrong going on here! This current ?leading our country straight into hell has reasons far beyond fent! Like Prime Minister Trudeau said “that’s his excuse” esp. with Canada as we have known & for anyone who hasn’t known,they do now. Canada is not our biggest concern of Fent getting into our country! Trump wants to look like a hero to his sheep but he is only a puppet being played by Putin!What is it that Putin has that either is on Trump or what Trump wants! Keywords “what Trump wants” bc none of us want this! He is weakening our country almost daily & getting closer to Russia?! Russians don’t even trust Putin,let alone any Americans, esp leaders! Putin would destroy his own for power & yet Trump thinks he’s some “good trustworthy guy” we are headed into a very very dark time! The faster we get him out the faster we can repair the damage done! Idk how anyone supports this ?any longer\nAs an American I stand with Canada ?? Ukraine ?? Mexico ?? Europe! Ppl get ur passports ready! I’m ready to leave & come back in 4yrs!

I love Canadians but not this guy. President Trump is smart to do this for us. Trudeau is evil.

Is he even PM … he announced he will step down. Nobody cares about this guy and neither do President Trump.

F Trump, he’s actually a dumb guy

No. trump is not a really smart guy. He’s an effing idiot.

Trump a smart guy? Uh, no.

As a Brit I'm proud of Canada and the EU for calling out and standing up to the BS that's happening right now. Rather than caving in and becoming Trump's lapdog. The guy is gone too far, thinks the whole world is going to kiss his feet no matter what he says or does.

It's just Trump. One dumb man who, for some dumb reason, speaks and represents a lot of people under the name of the country they live in. Maybe someone will figure out that someone can only make so many bad decisions before they remove that person from making more bad decisions. We have the village idiot in charge of things. Most[people in America like you and other leaders more than the person who is pretending to lead here. He's the fool of fools. You don't have to call him a smart guy just to make him feel good, he just does dumb things all the time. Either way, it's a fun show, I only hope the missiles start to fly and we all destroy ourselves. \n \nHenry Limpet: Doesn't it kind of give you a thrill of hope, George? \nGeorge Stickel: Hope for what, Henry? \nHenry Limpet: With the war in Europe and new weapons being invented all the time, why, well what if men were actually foolish enough to destroy themselves completely? Then, you see, the fish in the ocean would develop into a new race of men and - well, this time they might turn out better, you see? \n \nOne can only hope.
