it is pronounced fen-tan-il NOT fen-tin-all! idiots!!! stop dumbing down intelligence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, our president is dumb as a rock!

Trump is not intelligent but a dumb a..! Love Canada ? We support you and stand firm…Respect from Oregon!

I’m American and I stand with Canada and Ukraine… not dumb donald.?

Greetings from Sydney, Australia ?? \n\nAustralia stands with our Canadian cousins against this “dumb” trade war.\n\nLet us hope Trump comes to his senses and ends it.

To the rest of the world: As an American citizen, I just want to say that I'm sorry our population was dumb enough put an incompetent, fascist, narcissistic conman fuckhead into the white house where he could screw everything and everyone (us included) up. Not all of us voted for this or want this. Not all of us are dumb enough to fall for his bullshit.

U.S. here....first, I and most Americans stand with Canada and Ukraine. Second, yes tRUMP made a dumb mistake. But everyone must realize that he really isn't very smart. His own cabinet members from his first term have said so. He doesn't understand things and he doesn't read. I feel pretty sure that his daddy paid for him to get into business school and paid for his degree, just as he paid a doctor to say he had bone spurs. He just isn't very bright. I think his business failings show the same thing. Whatever Canada and Mexico feel they have to do to stand up to this dictator wanna-be, so be it. I hope the MAGAt supporters here get a hard wake up call....I can't have sympathy for them.

Donald Trump said he wants companies to come here and build factories and then- no tariffs. Well, I don’t want foreign companies building in our country. These are dumb ideas.

you idiot american tv hosts are laughing about it oh dumb donald tanking the stock market until the security guy comes on like wtf are we doing? and you guys just still nervously laugh it off oh this is serious \n\n\nwait and see how serious it gets

Ole Donald Duck dun hooked up a truck and f’ed up. Your hate is gonna be the weight to break the back of the camel ???dumb dummy

Wow a leader that actually can speak the language as an adult with intelligence. Trump sounds so dumb compared. It’s up to the American people to show their government that they are on the wrong path. Do it now… we support Americans not their government. Go Canada.

Trump is friend only to himself. Beyond that, I'm wondering if he is a Russian asset. What did he and Putin talk about in Helsinki in 2018, when no one else was allowed inside the room, very much against protocol? There are simply too many odd Trump-Russia incidents to ignore this, starting with Paul Manafort passing Trump campaign intel to Konstantin Kilimnik. I think there is cause for investigation. And frankly, spying on Trump should they find anything that warrants it. Canada rocks. I ordered a new Canada t-shirt and I'm going to wear it in public. Trump sucks golf balls. Thinking about getting a Gulf of Mexico shirt too. Trump is making Trudeau into a hero all of a sudden. LOL, way to go dumb orange president.

Agree with Canada & the Wall Street journal, tariffs in Canada are dumb. This is not a good way to MAGA. It’s only to fatten up Trump and his rich friends. Canada is our friends, it’s beyond reason. But then, I knew this is what Trump would do. ??ing it isn’t for long. I’m so sorry. ? American here.

Trump just acting like a Dumb Bully Kid\nTrudeau articulated the facts very well

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

I just saw a cnn reporter in geargia they are some the dumbest people I ever heard no wonder Trump wins Maga are dumb fuckers

Great speech, he shouldn't have called it dumb, insulting a leader is never a good political strategy such as did Trump to Ukraine.

How dumb can Trump be? Treating your most loyal ally and neighbour who has supported you through thick and thin like disposable garbage. This is gonnna cost Trump potentially his presidency with the tarrif he imposing on their trading partners.

Yes! Don, you are so dumb

The only thing I disagree with Prime Minister Trudeau is that the Donald is dumb. Period.

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

Smart people don't do dumb things. It proves he's dumb as shi

This makes for even more reason for Canada to become the 51st state. This wouldn’t even be happening. Canada is basically like America anyway. Smh this is so stupid smh I can’t even watch the entire video smh it’s so dumb

Today, we realize how silly and dumb you are, just like your counterpart, Donald Trump, Justin Trudeau. . Do you think you’re better than Trump? I’m not a Trump supporter, but you’re not in a better situation.

Where are the DUMB supporters of Donald? Do you think, your President care about you?

Shut Up Governor, don’t be pissed because America finally decided to charge tariffs which you have charged us forever!!!\nYou’re a dumb ass and a communist marxist!

Canadians are just dumb, thats why this lying freemason can decieve the people who live there, these puppets dont work for the people, they serve the evil entity behind the curtain, the true controllers of this flat earth, surprisingly this puppet left it out in this scripted garbage, fentanyl is made by the people he serves.

He's on his way out and his own people hate him, but he wants Americans to listen to him? DUMB.

Trumps is either dumb or a Russian asset or both but he ain’t smart.

Electoral college elected dumb trump ????

What harsh language? He’s speaking reality in a very articulated and direct way unlike the dumb US has as a Handler.

He was so kind to call him a very smart guy. Donald is dumb as rocks

I like how he dumbed it down for Dictator Don.

Awesome speech. Crazy what dumb trump and president Musk (or Putin?) Did to the world on short time

Stupid ass Trump is making enemies right and left to please Putin. He is a sell out to Russia. He is not making America great. The dumb ass is making America worse. \nI am proud of Canada and their leadership. Nothing like the mess we have now here in the US.

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.

Just watch Trump will be blaming Biden for all this because Trump has no leadership no plan but to make rich people, richer! Do you maga supporters realize what you've done now. And how bad things are about to become in our country. I didn't vote for Trump but I'm going to have to suffer because of dumb idiot suckers like you. Thanks Maga for ruining my life because of your stupidity! ✌️

Dumb men make dumb decisions

Dumb thing to do?

I think Trump is taking orders from Putin because this behavior is what will destroy America and that is what Putin wants. Putin told him to stand up and be a man and make them obey you. This is what dumb Trump is listening to and doing

The *Rumphole ISN'T SMART. He's a dumb guy making dumb decisions.

I'm ready to pull together with other Canadians! - Donald Trump is of course not a smart man but that would be dumb to say if you are a politician trying to contain a tarrif war. - (OMG, Wolf Blitzer grew up in Buffalo NY and spent summers at Crystal Beach. My oh my. He probably loved Irv Weinstein. Hope he liked watching Billy Van... if he watched CHCH TV back then.)

the U.S is not a trustworthy ally anymore. The U.S has always had the best and smartest people in the world, but sadly U.S citizens chose to elect a dumb person as it's leader and now they all have to pay the price... really sad.

As a Canadian. Don't believe a word coming out of this treasonous piece of crap. You're done. To sit there and call him Donald? This is how dumb this idiot is. God please help our country.

It’s not our government. It’s the government of the ultra wealthy and dumb.

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

Justin, you are a very dumb person, but for a change you’ve said a very smart things today

America ?? have a dumb president, he is the orange man called Trump ?

IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE BECAUSE DONALD IS DUMB! DUMB! DUMB! DONALD IS TOTALLY STUPID! STUPID! STUPID!

It’s business, some are too dumb to see
