Wait, wait... 7:50. Trump is not smart. Even Trump must know he's an idi&t.

Why do people think that Donald Trump and Elon Musk are smart. They aren't smart. They hire smart, desperate people. They just have the money. They're stupid themselves. Trump was a bully all his life and his daddy paid his way through school and Elon grew up a little weasel, nerd getting pushed around by everybody, and now he's going to take it out on all of us.

Trump isn't smart. He's cunning. Big difference.

Trudeau for president! Let Canada annex the rest of ‘Merica as the 11th Province ?. Except Canadians are too smart to put up with the “menace to the south” even as a territory!!!

I'm sorry, but Trudeau is wrong when he says my president is a very smart man. My president is an idiot.

Sorry he Trump is not smart he is stupid cant read loves farting fast food and shiting in dipers oh ya what a Felon this guy is soon he will loose his teeth jd vance waiting for that.I am a US Veteran and iam so ashamed that this is really going on and i will tell you this shame on MEGA GOD BLESS THE EU.

Why is Justin Trudeau lying..Dopey Don is not a smart guy…I know you have to stroke his ego..but that is a bridge too far…Sir..

Trump is not a smart man. You don’t need to stroke his ego. He’s a idiot

Trump smart????? LMAO!!!!! Trump speaks and writes at a 3rd-7th grade level according to language and writing analysis experts. He's had so many typos and grammatical errors in his social media posts it would be laughable if not for the fact he's the President of the USA. It's not a mystery the dumbest people in this country voted for him.

Trudeau you need to resign you have a hatred attitude Be a smart guy yourself and try to work with the President of America Take your big car plan business to America so you don’t need to pay any tariffs Well you do send your vehicles to America

Trump is for Putin and isn’t smart

Mr Trudeau, Trump is not smart. He is a narcissist and a sociopath.

Trudeau did not say Donald Trump you're a very smart guy he said the Washington Post said he's a very smart guy so CNN you got that way way off from what he said in his statement to Donald Trump so you should change that!

Trump never be smart , only dumpiest people ever vote for convicted falony

He lost me at “Trump is a smart guy”

I am not so diplomatic and cannot say that Trump is in anyway smart…

What a brilliant presentation from the smart, civilized, reasonable, well raised, highly educated and well behaved and polite statesman, Justin Trudeau. Canadians have to be very proud.

As a Native American I’m disgusted with how DOTARD is destroying our country!!! My ancestors are crying, hate to say it but I’m happier my mother passed away before this buffoon was back!! She’d be so worried, possibly losing her social security and survivors benefits…that was her life-line!…at least she’s resting peacefully!!! ? Miss you mama!!! ??????\nAnd FYI…DOTARD is NOT a smart man, he’s a greedy, egotistical, narcissistic fool!!!

Sir, Donald is not smart. At all.

I appreciate your diplomacy sir, but Donald is NOT a smart man.

Trump is NOT smart-in anyway. He's F'ING IDIOT.

Trump isn’t smart! He’s a shady narcissist !! He’s trying to destroy America from within. Right wing propaganda. Siding with RUSSIA, fighting with our countries near us. Shame full

I love how he is speaking to Donold's ego, saying the felon is smart! ???

Well said Prime Minister Trudeau, very clear precise without name calling and shouting but this is exactly how intelligent leadership respond. My only correction would be to your statement that trump is a smart man; no sir but I understand the need not to obliterate him.

Trump can barely speak English properly- he only sounds smart to the low iq magasses

Wait a go maga you look real smart now don't you. Enjoy your president?

From the US here Good job I am glad. Tell that idiot and the us citizens what a liar Trump really is. He didn't want the presidency. He only wanted to stay out of jail. I truly beleive this. So he letting Elon run the presidents office. A total bunch of idiots. They have fired 1000s of us government workers. I really don't think he is smart person Justin. I'm from ky. And I can garentee ypu it has nothing to do about drugs. Stick it to the sorry idiots. Again good job Justin.

Dump is NOT a smart man! If his IQ breaks 110 I'll eat my hat! But he won't take an IQ test, will he? Because he can't read!

Justin you are being very generous. Donald is NOT a smart guy. ??

If you smart don't live yours real friend behind Mr Donald Trump

Trump is in NO WAY a very smart guy but I guess he had to say that to call him out on being the dumbass that he is afterwards...

Smart?? LOL

Trump is not a smart man. He is Putin's stooge. He is Elon's fool.

I wish I was Canadian ❤, run by smart well spoken people who care about their citizens.

Canada not the only country is mad, angry, disgusted by Donald Trump when the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said you're a smart man this is a dumb thing to do , Check out his face he's saying to Donald Trump you're not a smart man and you're dumb man . Bravo Trudeau as an American well said I stand with you and a large number of people in America stand with Canada.................................................

Omg ..Justin , \nYou were doing g so well until ... you called Fonsl Smart ..what , he is the furthest ftom thst

He's right about everything, except when he said Trump is a smart guy. Not only is he not smart, Trump is in fact the dumbest president in American history.

UNFORTUNATELY TRUMP IS ACTING AS A BULLY. \nHE IS A SMART GUY BUT THIS HURTS EVERYONE.

First time i hear trudeau say something smart. In 5 years

Trump has never been smart, kind or caing.

I am annoyed with CNN for turning this into a WAFFLE Soapy...At Last Trudeau has grown BALLS and he was presenting a Polite, Rational, Understandable, Logical, Factual explanation NOT only to AMERICA BUT more so to Canada and the World that Trump is NOT actually a SMART man but rather a deranged and dangerous illiterate with NO interest other than HIS EGO...SO CNN in your wisdom you ignored Trudeau's replies to questions from the press and gave oxygen to your WAFFLE MONGERS LIGHT WEIGHT comments.\n I have never been a supporter of wishy washy Trudeau....until this polite and measured presentation by him which was brilliant as an Educational tool not only for the American People BUT also for ALL of those ALLIES in the FREE World that TRUMP has absolutely NO RESPECT for and has been singularly responsible for the FREE World ALLIES to seriously rethink their allegiances with Chaotic America due to Donald's apparently Love affair with Putin as a fellow Dictator.\n America listen up.... The U.K./Europe are cranking up their home based on their door step DEFENSE INDUSTRIES etc which will be GREAT for Europe.... BUT not so GREAT for America''s employment going SOUTH.\n I was born in 1936 in the U.K. and have first hand experience of the TORTURE Ukraine is experiencing as the RESULT of Putin INVADING Ukraine....Donald and his Attack dog Vance are dangerous illiterates.

Just one correction: trump is not a smart guy.

Mr. Trudea ...he ain't that smart. ????let's get back together soon.

Where do I send donations to Canada? I am an envious American...you have a leader, we have a dip$shit. His ONLY error was he called Trump smart...he is the antithesis of smart...aka DUMBA$$.

Most of us find Trump disgusting and love Canada. You have to protect your people. What a firm, yet eloquent speech. I hate to see how Trump is treating everyone. He is not smart or nice.

I agree with everything Trudeau said except the part about Donald being a smart guy.

No Trump isn’t a smart guy . He’s dumb !

Prime Minister Trudeau was wrong about one thing. That was saying Trump is a smart guy.

I love it! Brilliant, sharp, smart…

Wow with the comments. \nGreat speech but he is still an absolute melt with his way of being a leader and his ideas of how to run a country. \n\nHe thinks he is being smart but he is only causing more shit? \nWhat an idiot
