PM Minister Trudeau said one thing wrong. The orange Hitler is not smart. Trump is as dumb as a box of rocks.

I disagree on one point. Donnie is not a smart man. I realize Trudeau was just being diplomatic though.

From a proud Canadian living in Spain for 25 years, I'm supporting you my fellow Canadians! I've stopped ordering products from the USA... I won't step foot there until this imbecil is kicked out of office by smart Americans. Trudeau you were even being nice when calling dumb orange man smart.

PM Trudeau called trump smart....he reached WAY down for that one. These are NOT smart men moves. Kudos to Canada for NOT backing down.

The reason is so juvenile. DT doesn’t like Trudeau personally because he said things about him that bruised his ego. He’s not that smart.

I have to disagree with Trudeau. Trump is NOT a very smart guy.

Trudeau must of had to bite his tongue , to call Trump a smart gay...

You know there's an old saying that I'm sure Trump is very wise about you keep your friends close and your enemies closer I would say the way Canada is talking they consider us an enemy look at all these other countries that suddenly lined up against America who bailed all of them out of World War II and who brought down the Berlin Wall that shows how thankful you are and America's been paying the highest of the EU and the United Nations than any of you chicken countries I would just laugh at all of you you don't get it and all these comments are from Liberal Democrats who hate Trump it's real obvious that's who his fan base is Trudeau the little boy from the north who's not smart enough to come in from the cold poor guy he's in for a rude awakening she thinks he's going up against America and that we believe any of his BS

Merci Monsieur Trudeau!! sauf que Trump is not SMART at ALL!! he is just DUMM

me to Justin Trudeau : your're a very smart guy, please keep on !

Sorry Trudeau, you're wrong, trump is NOT a smart guy.

Our dumb PM Trudeau is punishing Canadians by adding tarrifs to US products they need for their businesses and not given them time to find alternative canadian sources. He is not as smart as premier Doug Ford who is just adding surtaxes to products sold to US from Canada. He doesn't care if he did he would end poroguing of parliament and increase spending on military and border protection on all sides of our country he says that Trump is going to cause a recession in Canada we already have on caused by 9 years of Liberal federal government backed by NDP leader Jagmeet Singh.

Trudeau is so handsome and smart and good. I wish he was our leader here in the US. Can you come here and help us, please? We need help. I understand why you have to fight back against Trump. I can't stand Trump and what he and our government is doing but I don't know how to stop it. I sure didn't vote for him. Thank you Mr. Trudeau for all of your great work and commitment and governance. I stand with Canada.

Great, now Trudeau actually has a chance to win the next election again because Trump is making him look smart. FML!

I'm no admirer of Trudeau, but this was a great speech. (Can you imagine Donnie making a coherent speech like this? ?) but I disagree with him on one thing: Donnie is NOT a very smart guy. (Although I know why Trudeau felt he had to say that).

Trudeau lost me when he called Donald 'a very smart guy'. I'm onboard with retaliating against Trump's tariffs even if it increases prices of goods I want to buy.

Trudeau is wrong on one important. Yrump is not a “very smart guy”. He has the intellect, emotions and thoughts of a very spoiled, bratty and angry 11 year old. He wants to be a superhero, but is actually a Creature from the Greed Lagoon.

Trudeau got one thing wrong. Trump is not very smart. Not even remotely smart

Trudeau said Trump was a smart man.??? Trump is the stupidest, most unread president the US has ever had.

I have to highly disagree with Trudeau, Trump is not a very smart guy.

People have got this all wrong, first trump is not smart. 7:50 Trudeau is saying that canada and the US are friends, they are not, now that trump is in office. People keep framing this as friends of america. Trump is aligned with Russia, so everything you thought is the opposite now.

Trump is utter garbage. I respectfully disagree with PM Trudeau, Trump is not a smart guy, he is dumb shit.

One exception with what Trudeau said...trump is NOT a smart guy by any stretch ?

Trudeau did lie once, saying that Trump is a smart guy. He’s a moron

Trudeau spoke the truth. Except for one thing. trump is not smart. He is the stupidest man to ever be president.

Mr. Trudeau, Donald Trump is not smart!!!! He is mentally unbalanced. Shame on those Americans who voted for him. You get what you deserve! Unfortunately, you drag me along with you. ?

Astonishing how those other 2 kept a straight face when Trudeau lied about Trump being very smart 7:47

Trudeau is a very nice person when call Trump “ you are smart “ , no he’s dumb as a rock!

Gre?at speech Trudeau! No Don the con and felon and abuser who doesn't pay taxes and stiffs his contractor's is not smart! His job is to destroy the United States from within and give more tax breaks to the wealthy...?

I like Trudeau. He is a smart guy. The world is changing and we need to make new alliances. I also think that the US gonna leave NATO. We gonna fight for our freedom!

Mr Trudeau, may my family and friends come live in Canada? None of us voted for this big, fat, orange, narcissistic a**hole and his psychotic sycophants. Trump is only going to double down on all the things that piss him off. Look, if Trump thought he could make a dollar off fentanyl, he wouldn’t be against it - it’s just that he doesn’t get any of the cuts. And by the way, I don’t think I’ve ever heard “smart” and “Trump” uttered in the same sentence without “not” being inserted between them. Trump is an idiot. I have visited Canada and it’s beautiful, unspoiled, and intelligently ran. PLEASE let us come! Most of us stand firmly with Canada, Mexico, and Europe. I have never been so embarrassed to be an American in 67 years of life.

I blame the American people who voted for Trump. I am going to disagree with Prime Minister Trudeau when he said Donald is smart, Donald is as stupid as they come. Everything this man touches he ruins. Great job MAGA ????‍♀️

Trudeau lies! Trump is by no means 'smart' in any way whatsoever. I'd say he's as dumb as a rock, but I'd be insulting some of my igneous friends.

Trudeau, you're wrong. No way Trump is that smart

100% truth by Canada and Trudeau! Trudeau translation—Smart Guy = Smart Con Artist.

He never said Trump is a smart man, that was part of the quote damn it. I’m an American who is so sad, mad, outraged we are treating Canada and Mexico. Thank you Trudeau, I heard your message for us. I certainly cast my vote and will do so again towards unity, reason, compassion and love for the world. Not this disgusting behavior.

I agree with everything Trudeau said...except for when he said Donald was a smart guy.

Agree with Trudeau here, and as a Canadian conservative, that’s not something I say easily. But let’s get real here. Trump is NOT a smart guy. He has cratered most businesses he’s started, he has no understanding of economics whatsoever and he speaks like a five-year old. Conversely, here in Canada and around the world (including many in the US who are voicing heir support here) we have A LOT of smart people and an enormous amount of good will, and we will persevere and overcome. Bring it MAGA!

Lol. We know Trudeau was being kind when he called Trump smart.

7:50. I have to disagree w M Trudeau and the WSJ. Trump is not smart and this a dumb idea. Trump is dumb and this is a stupid idea. And I find it hilarious the as soon as Trudeau starts speaking French, CNN cuts away.

Trudeau lied when he called don a smart guy.

Mr. Trudeau, like Mr. Zelinsky are strong caring smart men who are showing us as citizens of The United States what a weak dangerous bully narcissistic leadership we have! This will hurt us not only with buying things, but alienating our country when there is a time of great need, like an, God forbid, attack!..People....WAKE UP before it's too late! Do you think putin isn't waiting for our country to become vulnerable??? so he can turn on us too!! WAKE UP

I disagree that Trudeau called Trump as being smart, far from it.

Why does Trudeau need to bullshit Trump by saying that he is a smart guy. He should speak the truth and call him an a- hole

Trudeau lied\nDonald is not a very smart guy

THANK YOU PM Trudeau! As an American who grew up on the Detroit/Windsor border, I love our Canadian friends. And it hurts my heart to see what’s happening right now between our countries. I HATE this administration. I have never once voted for the man who sits in the Oval Office right now. But I will respectfully disagree on one thing with you - that man is not a very smart guy. Otherwise, if he were - this would not be happening!! Bless you Prime Minister. ??

Preach it brother Trudeau! Not all Americans stand with tRump, vAncy, or mUsty! They could care less about our friends and allies! They care about only themselves, and how much money they can grift from everyone! I disagree with one of your points. He is NOT a smart guy.

Trudeau is very very wrong. Trump is not a smart guy at all.

Ah Trudeau - Donald is nothing like ‘smart’. Kick the big bǔffoon while he’s down.

I disagree with Trudeau. I dont think Trump is a smart guy! Or maybe the billionaire's wanna crash the stockmarket and buy cheap before removing all tariffs and seeing the market rise again.
