Get over Russiaphobia...this is really dumb analysis

Yes Donald is very dumb, he is nasty evil sycophantic person.

Since mr. trumph assumed office, troubles from US friends happens now! He is doing dumb things!

trudeau all you have done for Canada and Canadians in 10 years is try your best to destroy us. Why should we believe anything you say. How many $ billions have you embezzled? The worst thing is you gave iot to fake agencies overseas that looks like money laundering. NOTHING for Canada or Canadians. I'll steal your words to trump. This and you are REALLY DUMB!

we don't want it either Justin. This is dumb. Just to dominate the news cycle to appease an ego.

The dumb-trump era

Trump knows what is going on. Trump is beholden to Putin because Putin has a secret on Trump and Trump is going to do everything Putin says do. He will jump, run, kiss N. Korea's ass. Trump is going to do everything Putin says do to make sure Putin keeps Trump’s secret secret. Trump must have done something over in Russia and Putin got him on video tape. It must be a doozie, something that Trump shouldn't have been doing, and Putin's got Trump by the balls. Trump is going to jump, lie, cheat, and do tariffs (as a smokescreen) for his treachery with Putin. This is why he said we won't have to ever vote again. He's planning to pull a 'Hitler-move'! Trump and Musk are weakening America. Trump, Vance and Musk are working to make all our allies our enemies to help Putin and N. Korea be able to take over America, then Trump thinks they'll let him be our King. He's so stupid. Putin and N. Korea are crazy but they will not let Trump be King. They want America for themselves. Wake up America! Trump is selling out America! He's trying to put us into WW III, and make sure we do not have any allies, and if you don't see the writing on the wall, y'all need to go back to school. Pay attention to history. Poor, dumb-ass Republicans. They're being used.

I agree that Trump actions is dumb

I wish I could just move to Canada. Not all Americans are dumb; it seems we are getting dumber.

America's voted the most dumb president in history ?

As an American, I stand with Canada. We have the biggest dumb ass bully as our president and it’s shameful. The people who voted for that orange turd can suffer. It’s so dumb to impose tariffs on our closest allies. Ordinary Americans will suffer because of this.

Dumb things do stupid guys

Trump acts like he's on fentanyl talks like he's on his dumb show the apprentice. Best for the whole world to cut America out and let the people vote him back out for starting the 3rd world War

It would have been better to call the move “ill-advised”. Referring to POTUS by first name and saying it was “dumb” is just going to provoke DJT who everyone, fans and critics alike, knows is vain and does not have the humility to accept insults. It’s Trudeau breaking shtuff on his way out. He doesn’t have the mandate to put us in a worse position; he is being selfish, I think, in taking an unnecessary low-brow jab. Calling it ill-advised or similar gives Trump an out, to pass the buck to Lutnik when it becomes apparent that this tariff idea is a steaming pile for everyone involved.

I agree with everything Mr Trudeau said EXCEPT that T is a smart guy. Absolutely untrue. He is one of the number of VERY dumb politicians in the republican party right now.

Trudeau is hated by Canadians. He is no hero. These tariffs make Trump look stupid. Isn't that what Trudeau was saying by calling it a dumb thing to do? It is time for Trudeau to actually resign and leave politics for good.

This is positive leadership, whereas Trump's is lacking in sanity and sensitivity. Trump is dumb, blind and deaf to the rest of the world but all ears, all eyes and all praise to Putin.

Thanks for using small words when addressing Trump directly, not like the arrogant clown will listen, but it was nice to use dumbed-down language so he might understand

If we thinks donald trump wants peace we are dumb too… he is walking into autocrat ideology, will u trust him with peace…?

Gessus crist how dumb a big outlet like cnn to not put 1 and 1 together, to see who is meant do benefit from this, and not name it\nTrump distroyed cia, pentagon and fbi and any governement that could have checked his traitorous a55 that gave usa on a silver platter to russia AND CHINA \ncause make no mistake, ppl were amazed China was slapped with only 10% while allies were attacked viciously . The rethoric against china will change and will see that the excuse of disingage from Europe(translate let it be Putin's) was supposed to concentrate on bigger fish china.\nLike the boiling of the frog u dumb traditional media were complicit in the transformation of usa in a fascist state! You stopped putting pressure on republicans, gave them leeway to giv in to trump blackmail and intimidation, instead of marking ALL THE LIES HE TELLS ALL THE TIME. \nCNN, FOX ETC . Make no mistake, we saw what u did, when the evil axis will form russia china USA, YOU WILL KNOW YOU DID IT.

S T F U trudeau, your dumb policies and immigration practices is what's led to this. we've accepted your resignation, now please leave.

wow !!!! couldnt of spoke better donald what a dumb dumb man

‏ what president Putin has to do with all your rubbish Mr. Idiot president.?… with all your stupid decisions between you and Donald you dumb don’t blame Russia on that

Trump-GOP-Q's nonsense execuse is fentanyl. However, Trump-GOP-Q's reps do not do the best effort to help Americans who are addicted to fentanyl & other drugs. The reason why fentanyl and other drugs keep coming into the USA is because we in America have too many drug addicts, mostly in the red states that vote for Trump-GOP-Q's reps. Medicaid could be used to help our drug addicts to overcome their addiction, but Trump-GOP-Q's are trying to cut $800 million from medicaid & redirect it for tax cuts for the wealthy. Dumb Trump cannot see.

YOU ARE SMART, YOU ARE YOUNG AND YOU WILL OUT LIVE THE DUMB!

His name is DUMB TRUMP not Donald Trump

He’s done well, up until he used the word dumb on the orange man. He will fixate on that and now all the well intended and strategic words of persuasion are lost. He will not back down because this guy has a maturity of primary school kids he takes it so personal.

If you are dumb enough to take fentanyl or any drug that's on you. Why do the rest of us and other nations have to suffer for these individuals who are on a path to kill themselves

Does that dumb shit not understand tariffs are bad. Trump sux

Dumb Trump. I regret voting him. He thinks he can scare away other country leaders by using tariff as strategy. What a fool! Is he not realizing it will back fire by causing these countries to do the same on US?

???? that's what he deserved someone like him let him no public he is a dumb ??.

All these DUMB “Christian” Trump supporters voted for PRIDE… goes against god. What happened to treating thy neighbor like yourself?… I’m not even Christian and im shocked how DELUSIONAL these trumpists are.

Thanks for making it clear what you did right but not making it clear on what the US administration wanted from you that you said no to that caused the tariff implementation. It's possible you miss 50% of your illegal border crossings into the u.s. since so much of your border isn't secured. The 1900% increase in illegal crossing in the past few years doesn't look very good. It's dumb to assume you did everything right and then the u.s. just randomly decided they'd continue with the tariffs for fun. Be more honest and say where you put your foot down so the American public can better understand what is going on.

Not since 1812 have things been this dumb.

President Tbone is too dumb?

Trump wants to be the new Putin and if you can’t see that then you are either dumb or love fascism.

It is a very dumb thing indeed. If China comes in throwing a lifeline to Canada and Mexico, America will have an enemy right at its door

Wsj? More dumb than trump

Trump has money. None of this is going to bother him at all.\nHe just wants to bully others, to try and look strong, and menacing.\n\nHe isn't smart enough to realize it just makes him look petty and dumb.

like he says it, he is a smart guy, but do a dumb thing, i will added on, a asshole thing to do

Well said: Donald ... dumb ... friends fighting is what our opponents want.

DBag is so dumb, he chose a VP with a last name that almost rhymes with the last VP. ??‍♂️

Trudeau is a liar... Donald is a dumb guy, not a smart guy

Trump is Dumb and Dumber

Donald ? Dumb ?

Trump is dumb but he hires keen employees. What do I mean? He knows exactly what he's doing. I call upon anyone to study the history of 1920's USA, politically AND economically.\nBack then they also created policies that deported millions of Mexicans. Blamed Europe from bringing their worse AND imposed tariffs.\nWhat happened? well the Great Depression did AND also WW2. Inform yourself USA.

It's good to see the Canadian Prime Minister confronting Trump in this way. But I think he should stop lying. Trump is NOT intelligent. Trump is an imbecile. Trump is as dumb as a rock. Trump is a moron. All you TV commentators, and other world leaders need to stand up and start telling the truth. Donald Jessica Trump is possibly the dumbest person on the face of the earth today.

It's not the US it's dumb ass Trump!!! What American president does stupid stuff like this with Allies? Oh yeah Trump!

dumb trudeau. They are applying tariff on 450 billions of canadian export to US. You are talking about tax on 150 billion. Who wins? You are screwed. Use your brain if you have one

Putin is laughing at the USA all the way to the bank ? at how dumb our president is acting ?
