What a smart prime minister ❤

From Bangladesh, I acknowledge Prime Minister Trudeau; he gave a very beautiful speech, and I agree 100% for a smart guy that it was a very dumb thing to start a war with allies.

I am American and awfully ashamed of Donald Trump and his gang. Loved it when the Prime Minister Trudeau said Donald, the Wall Street Journal said you are a smart man but this is a very dumb thing to do. Eloquent, classy and presidential, totally opposite from Donald and gang.

Canadian prime minister is so smart and presidential unlike that jerk-ttump.

Trump is not a smart guy he is mentally challenged lol \nAnd this incredible speech is gonna go right through him cause he hasn’t got a clue what’ going on, he is just bullying for the sake of bullying \n\nAnd no matter who the next prime minister of Canada will be, what is being said here is unanimous and stays, and the next guy will be just as articulate and intelligent as this one.. don’t you worry about Canada!

As an American, I wish I was a Canadian at this time. I don't stand by the T admin... They are all insane. The Prime Minister's speech was so articulate, smart, and compassionate. He doesn't sound harsh but strong and confident. And not anti-American but empathizing with American citizens. Not sure why these CNN folks used those words.

I have to disagree with a point made by the Prime Minister; Donald Trump is not a smart guy. He's a dangerous moron and a con man. I don't know what else we Americans need to see to learn this plain truth. If I were Canadian, regardless of my political persuasions, this is a speech and a stance to be proud of.

Be strong Canada, like Ukraine! Canadians, you must all unite and support the Prime Minister. You have a smart, well-mannered, educated leader!

I As an American citizen can only hope that we would have a president in office with the intelligence, compassion and dignity that PM Trudeau has. At this time I am truly ashamed of my country. Especially the ones that put this hateful, revenge seeking, criminal monster in our White House. I stand with you 100% Canada. I also hope that maybe within the next year, trump will be gone. I don't know how or where but just gone. As intelligent as prime minister Trudeau is I have to disagree with one comment he made. trump is NOT a smart man. He is nothing but a 34 count convicted felon, rapist and criminal wannabe dictator. I shudder at the thought of the end of his four year disaster. What will our country do when we have no allies whatsoever. He loves russia and putin, His puppet master. He does not understand that Russia has never been our friend, is not our friend. And never will be our friend. He just loves putin because He wants to be just like him. He is the United States very own Adolf Hitler. Also , I have removed our flag from my front yard that I so proudly displayed my entire life. It will be raised again but only after this nightmare called trump is gone! Please accept the apology from millions of Americans that stand with you. We are truly sorry and we are suffering with you. God help us. And God Bless Canada ❤

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.

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.................................................

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

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

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.

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…

The only thing I don't agree with with the Prime Ministers speech is him calling Donald smart.

Mr Prime minister, you call trump a smart guy. NO, he is an idiot, he is a criminal, a rapist, a person that stole state secrets, he possibly gave some of those secrets to dictator putin.\nA totally stupid idiot, he is in musk and putins pockets.

I admire this canada prime minister, he's so smart

As an American, I stand with Canada and Mexico but not Russia . Prime Minister Trudeau has demonstrated true leadership qualities. If the U.S. has trade issues with Canada and Mexico, they should be resolved amicably. What Trump is doing is not the approach of a smart leader—he is risking the livelihoods of millions of Americans

Great speech,but, Prime Minister Trudeau got one thing wrong. trump is not a smart guy.

As a US citizen who didn't vote for the president (Trump) we have who is corrupt, self- serving and would have gone to prison if he had not been voted as president. I too am appalled at what he and his minions have done already. \nI understand what Canada has to do to protect itself. I support Canada.I feel for the Canadian people. Trump is a scourge to our country. Prime Minister Trudeau is too kind to Trump of being smart. He is not smart. He is hurting the American people in so many ways and he does not care. \nThank-you Prime Minister Trudeau and God bless the Canadian people and God bless the American people that didn't vote for Trump .

Canada - Love your prime minister - he's sharp, smart and articulate. Our's *ucks. Sincerely, a US citizen.

What an eloquent, smart and educated speaker and beautiful person. Justin Trudeau should run for Prime Minister!

Thank you Mr. Prime Minister for an incredibly important and well read speech! One thing though....Donald Trump is NOT SMART!! Donald Trump cares about Donald Trump! He cares about RETRIBUTION against people who dislike or laugh at him. He is a GIANT NARCISSIST and a PATHOLOGICAL LIAR!! He would rather be BUDDIES with DICTATOR Vladimir Putin than with any allies! Trump is TANKING the economy and CRASHING the Stock Market which also includes people's retirement funds. DONALD TRUMP IS 100% A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER!!! HE NEEDS TO BE IMPEACHED, REMOVED, AND IMPRISONED!!! HIS ENTIRE ADMINISTRATION SHOULD BE REMOVED FOR GOING ALONG WITH TRUMP!! THEY ARE ALL ACCOMPLICES!!!\n\nTIME TO WIPE THE SLATE CLEAN, SWEAR IN KAMALA HARRIS AS SHE WAS THE RUNNER UP, AND FIX WHAT DONALD TRUMP DESTROYED!!!

The only thing the Prime Minister said that was not true is that Donald is a smart man. Not True, Trump is just a good conman.

Canadian here. I agree with what our Prime Minister said except the part about Donald being a very smart guy. I guess he felt it necessary to say that to assuage DJT's huge ego.

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 ????‍♀️

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. ??

One country has a Prime Minister / Leader and the other country has a orange moron who is NOT a smart man.

The prime minister should not call Trump a very smart person, but what he is in fact. A dump, arrogant, egocentric criminal. His constant lies need to be exposed and publically corrected. Maybe if enough people do this publically it will drive Trump so crazy and he will react so crazy, that even his most loyal minions will realize they will need to get rid of him!

We stand with you, Prime Minister Trudeau. We love you. I will not buy one Fuck1ing USA product. I will not go to visit my ailing sister in the USA. I am done with the USA until smart ass Americans get their vote right!!

CORRECTION PRIME MINISTER, GREAT SPEACH, BUT ONE ERROR. TRUMP IS NOT SMART. HE'S A HORSES ASS

I agree 99,9% with everything Prime Minister Trudeau said. We all know what is that 0,1% I don't agree with... And that's of course that Justin said that Trump is smart... We all know he's dumb as a post, ignorant and proud of it.. The West (which of course includes South Korea, Japan, Australia, etc) has rejected MAGA and Trump.. He America, call u s back when the Orange Buffoon not around anymore.

One thing I disagree with the Prime Minister with, trump is NOT A SMART MAN!

This is totally on Trump. Canada did not choose this. I’m proud of the way Prime Minister Trudeau is handling this.\n\nTrump is not such a smart man. Smart men don’t attack friends and allies.

Prime Minister Trudeau, you are wrong about 1 thing. donald trump is not smart. he is a TOTAL dumbass! You were probably trying to compliment him since he only responds well to those who kiss his feet, but don't do it. We Americans know what he is, know this is ALL his doing and think Canada is great!

This made me laugh. ''This is some of the strongest language we have heard yet from the Prime Minister'' and ''He was using that harsh language'' ''All things that we have heard him say and maybe more nicer or friendlier terms before, but now your hearing a very direct harsh language from the Prime Minister'' Referring to Justin calling him by his first name and telling him he is a very smart guy but it's a very dumb thing to do. Really? mmmm Double standard ?

Our Prime Minister fibbed on one aspect 'Donald is NOT a smart man' There, fixed it. Oh, Canada! The True north strong and free.

The prime minister is wrong. Trump is NOT a smart guy. But he is doing what Putin wants - weaken the West.

I disagree with the prime minister that comrade Trump is a smart man.

Prime Minister Trudeau was diplomatic in saying trump is smart. He is a bully and doing what he has always does well, bullying others and siding with another bully, putin!! Who does that? A loser, that's who.

From Ukraine with respect. A few decades ago our school hired a Canadian as a native speaker to teach us some spoken English. He was not very smart and made some grammar mistakes here and there. But what surprised me is how on his 1st day he tried to make a joke, smth. “We, Canadians, have nothing to apologize for, except for Celine Dion”. He startled to giggle, searching our faces for a sign of approval. There was none! We love Celine! To this day it astounds me how many Canadians badmouth their great singer or their own Prime minister. What is wrong with you? Like every Canadian I’ve met kept saying many unpleasant things of Trudeau. You should be proud of your prime minister the way you are proud to be Canadians and slow down on insulting him!

Trump is not smart at all, he is dumb and dumb people do dumb things. Prime Minister Trudeau is very polite to Trump.

So sad that our beautiful and smart, polite Prime Minister will be stepping down. I am so very appreciative of You Mr. Trudeau. You have fought a good fight Sir. Love you.

Trudual is got rip off because he's bring in too many indian , hopefuly the new Prime Minister smart enough to do some thing about this

Honestly the truth, am from the UK, and I am an Asian British citizen, been few times in Toronto Canada for a family visit. I have noticed some Indians in Canada are boastful and have no manners behaviour, sorry to say, But I am proud to say the indians here in UK are nice, polite, good manners and smart, same our recent prime minister Rishi Sunak, , I don't why its different in the Indians therein Canada? ??

First we have to have smart prime minister

The only person who wants more immigrants is the prime minister so that they vote for him in our next election. Everyone is smart enough not to make that mistake. Wish I could leave Canada.

Our Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, thought refugees / immigration were a good idea. Now we, and them, are homeless. Smart thinking PM ?\nI totally agree with Peter... everything he said.\nAnd safe injection is not making the city safe to walking around in.\nAnd rent is so high, in May I will be homeless because I had enough to buy a condo but real estate went up SO MUCH, I cannot, now, afford one. My whole life in a home, now, nothing.
