trudeau stop lying and sugarcoat it he is not smart he is as dum as a human can be but his water are even dummer

Trudeau said Trump was very smart, not because he is smart but because foreign leaders know Trump is vain.

Trump isn't even close to being smart. He's just a self-centered bully with a lot of resources, allowing him to manipulate people throughout his entire life.

Hahahah what do you expect from the USA? the USA has a felon as a president. Who said Trump is a smart individual/ businessman? Get ready my fellow Americans, this is gonna be tough……????

Donald....smart...Ga...?

You want to speak to 1 American, He's Russian... Don't call him a very smart guy . Canadians HELP !

I think there should have been some fact checking, I heard him say that Donald was a very smart guy.

President Trump a smart man? Well, this sounds like a joke!! President Trump is just stabbing his allies in the back in a world that's strictly globalized!! He's just demolishing decades and decades of friendly relationships and cooperation with the free western world, mining alliances ( NATO ), without a reasonable justification! He's actually isolating the USA from the rest of the civil world! Greetings from Italy, EUROPE!!

He lost me at saying that Trump is a smart guy...

Hey Canadians, on behalf of the good people in America... I apologize for the ignorance and stupidity of one EMBARRASSING excuse of a leader that is not only sticking it to Americans in every way you can think ... I refuse to call him a president because he is NOT... He is a convicted felon, convicted on 34 felonies. He is a fraudster, a cheater, a LIAR, a thief, and a THUG! He is not a legal president because he cheated to get elected in the first place because he cheated in 2016 by having his Russian friends interfer in our election by smearing, and launching the wikileaks ĺeak that She had emails from her secratary of state days on an unsecured computer at the DNC Hillary Clinton, merely weeks ahead of the 2016 election.\nTrump also incited a seditious insurection in 2020 after losing that election failing his attempted coup to sieze power in an election he LOST! Donald Trump and many of the GOP that ran for thier lives on Jan. 6th 2021 now refer to the insyrection as a peacful gathering of non violent protesters... Trump calls it the best day ever!!! Think about that for a minute! The very first order of business Trump did after his inauguration was to pardon 1500 crimina convicts that either plead guilty or were found guilty of charges like sedition. And insurectionists. Many of them for violent crimes like battery on a police officer. And other charges loke trespassing on a federal building, and theft charges for stealing laptops and all sorts of things.\nDonald Trumps first act was to free all of them with a wave of a pen... he freed police bashers!!! And scum bags like Elmer Rhoads, and leader of the proud boys Enrique Tarrio... and all tge violent punks that tried to overturn a free and fair election!!! I is disgusting! HE a k so pardoned the biggest drug dealer in America that catered to criminals and murderers, the owner and inventer of the silk roads dark web site.\nTrump is a Russian asset, make no mistake about it. And fir the last 40 days or so he set about to burning down all American institutions with the help of his Billionaire campaign donors that agreed to get him elected for MORE MONEY!!! Trump is turningvon our trusted allies all friends, and siding with countries like Russua, North Korea, Iran, Turkey, and other countries that are under the control of string men autocrats, and dictators! He publicly called our friend and ally Vlidomir Zelenskyy a dictator! While at the same time calling Vladimir Putin a genius, and a really smart guy that wants peace he says!\nVladimir Putin is the worlds most cold blooded mass murderer of our lifetime and he is a war criminal that kills mostly civilians, women and children deliberatly!!! He poisons his political opponents and business partners with plutonium and other ways like having them thrown out a high ruse window, or shit from the sky in an airplane!!!\nDonald Trump is a maniac that Ameruca needs to desperately get rid of before he finishes the job of burning down all our institutions and burning our constitution and democracy in order to turn Ameruca into an autocracy...\nSo, Canadians.... we Americans are deeply embarrassed and we apologize for the reckless behavior of one man!! One ignorant man... Donald Trump. There has never been a more shameful and embarrassing time to be an American! Eff Trump!!!

When Trudeau spoke to Donald, his vocab suddenly shrank to 135 words in total, including such short classics as big, strong, smart and guy. Clearly, he was trying not to overwhelm his intended interlocutor ?I won’t hold my breath for Donald to say thank you.

trump is not a smart guy. he's a fool. that's why he's doing this. he's ruining the U.S. relationships. with our best allies.

This guy Trudeau gives me huuuuge Howard Hamlin vibes, what a smart, elegant and sophisticated persona.

Hey Justin, Donald Trump is NOT a smart guy. Don't be so nice. Trump sucks.

Trump has NEVER been smart! Don't troll the world Trudeau! ?

Trump Is NOT a “very smart guy!”

Donald is not a smart guy, and he has no desire to cooperate. He is a Russian agent. He is destroying North America.

He was half wrong with his statement about Trump. He isn't a smart man either. He's a spoiled child that was given his empire. He's never worked a day in his life.

Is sad that we Americans can tell how dumb the president is but Canada can. They are smart.?

Donald is NOT a smart man. He is so self-absorbed and selfish, he is a traitor to this country, a Russian asset and needs to be taken down as fast as possible. Evict this despicable, treasonous dictator from our White House NOW!

calling trump 'smart' reflects how dumb trudeau is.....

The only lie he said is that Donald is a smart man.

The only thing I did not agree with…he called the guy smart!

Donald Trump, can you see what a real Prime minister sounds and looks like ? smart and classy ?

Trump is not smart.

I'm with you Canada. Tell Donald Duck what is happening! I applaud you Prime Minister Trudeau, I wish the U.S. so called president was half as smart as you.

He called Donald “Smart” ???

Why are we insulting Russia. Russia should be our trade partner. Yet, we support Israel. Disgusting. I agree with the tariff stance, but the whole Russia and China criticism is rooted in Canada's relationship with the US. They're enemy was our enemy. Smart'n up Trudeau.

Trump doesn't want to work with Canada, he's working with Russia. And Trump is not a very smart man, he's a spoiled rich brat!

He still tried to be nice by lying about Trump being smart.

Great speech but calling Donald a smart man was just pandering to that idiot.

Donald Trump will go down as the worst US-President in the history of the nation. Kids will be analysing in school in the future how it could happen that more than 50% of the voters chose this man over a smart and strong women.

Prime Minister Trudeau has always been a reliable source for truth, but now that he has referred to President Trump as “smart,” I don’t know…

Trump is not smart! He is a dirty and dumb Bastard!!!

I found it to be a very smart move when he directly addressed the American public.

Donald, you are a smart guy and this is a dumb thing to do. Ouch!

Donald a smart guy??? Really? Based on what metric? He’s probably smart compared to someone with brain damage.

Take back what you said Trudeau! trump is NOT smart!

The only thing I disagree with Trudeau about is,\nNo,Trump is not a smart guy.

Trump don’t care about his people, what he wants is make the investors invest in USA in order to not charge tariffs like if it were easy to do and get back on 2000 year when the baby Bush triggered the massive investment in china and out of us soil; smart punk then. Labor wages are more higher than in china or mexico or any other country.

I only disagree with one thing, Donald is not a smart man

Biggest inaccuracy: DJT is a smart man ?

If Donald Trump is smart, rocks are smarter.

Trump a smart man??? They are Eating the dawgs.

Trudeau is wrong about one thing: Trump is not smart. Trump is a fucking moron. And so is anyone who still supports him.\nFAFO

Unfortunately, our presidents are Idiots, Lunatics & Thieves... Smart, is not ? in their dimension in time...

Did he just say Donalds very smart guy, lol ???

As an American, I applaud you, Justin Trudeau! If only we had a similar sane, smart, compassionate leader here! So glad that Canada is in your capable hands. If you’re the praying, kind, please pray for us! We are a sinking sinking ship…

If this guy is that smart why US had to pinch his nose to do all this? Wasn't it his job to begin with?

He's wasting his breath. Trump supporters, JD and Trump himself, are too dimwitted. They are bullies, and all they understand is anger and fighting.\n\nIt almost seems as if Trump wants Canada and Mexico to cave by sending their economy into a recession. Basically, saying let's have a recession war and see who blinks first.\n\nCalling Trump smart is a stretch.
