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

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 thing to do?

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

Stop the Cuba Boycott, Boycott Canada. Canada, You have nothing the US needs! Pound Sand. Trudeau you are not worthy to stand in Trumps shadow. If the Tariffs are a dumb thing to do why are you so upset? F the French Canadians and the French in general. Have a good day.

So impressed with Trudeau naturally switching from speaking english to french. And to you donald, are you really smart to do the dumb thing?

What’s a dumb thing to do is to give 200 billion dollars for nothing in return that’s dumb .

@7:58, the fact that this is “dumb thing to do”, stuck with me.

It's just Trump. One dumb man who, for some dumb reason, speaks and represents a lot of people under the name of the country they live in. Maybe someone will figure out that someone can only make so many bad decisions before they remove that person from making more bad decisions. We have the village idiot in charge of things. Most[people in America like you and other leaders more than the person who is pretending to lead here. He's the fool of fools. You don't have to call him a smart guy just to make him feel good, he just does dumb things all the time. Either way, it's a fun show, I only hope the missiles start to fly and we all destroy ourselves. \n \nHenry Limpet: Doesn't it kind of give you a thrill of hope, George? \nGeorge Stickel: Hope for what, Henry? \nHenry Limpet: With the war in Europe and new weapons being invented all the time, why, well what if men were actually foolish enough to destroy themselves completely? Then, you see, the fish in the ocean would develop into a new race of men and - well, this time they might turn out better, you see? \n \nOne can only hope.

If it’s a dumb thing for American to do. How is it smart to do the same thing back? It will be equally bad for both countries.

Donald...Your a smart guy, but this is a very dumb thing to do.\nDonald...That makes you a very dumb guy.

Level-headed, measured, amicable, educated, a real leader and statesman. Talking to an orange baffoon. I only disgree with Trudeau in one thing. Trump does dumb things cause he is actually dumb. And seeing that he is insulting people and allies left and right I personally would love for other leaders inventing fitting names for him paying him back in kind. Someone came up with Mango Mussolini, I had until now favored Orange Utan, but the Mango version is appealing. And lets face it, Trump's cabinet of circus freaks also literally begs to be ridiculed.

Trump knows its a dumb thing to do. He planning to break us all into the poor and weak. He wants to be Queen to King Putin

47 is transactional. On every front. We see what appears irrational, nonsensical, maybe even dumb. The question is, what deal has he already made for which he will be rewarded? The consequences 47’s actions spell the tearing down the status quo and the power of democracies around the globe. These things seem to be 47’s goal, not just some unfortunate consequence.

Saying to Trump that it was a dumb thing to do, is really a dumb thing to have said Justin. We didn't start the fire, but that was a heavy match you just struck.

The dumb ass fact Trump TRULY believes Elon can save the U.S.A is the VERY REASON we WILL need SAVING! ???‍♀️ ALL BECAUSE CERTAIN ONES DIDN’T WANT TO SEE A BLACK WOMAN GENUINELY TRY WITH ALL HER MITE TO MAKE THINGS BETTER UNSELFISHLY! ?

He's not a smart man doing something dumb, he's an idiot doing dumb things because it makes money for the people who bought him.

Ok I need some help understanding this. If it’s a dumb idea for the US then why isn’t it a dumb idea for Canada too? As I understand it, the US tariffs mean things imported from Canada get a few slapped on top and that is paid by Americans, to discourage them from buying Canadians things. Why wouldn’t Canada continue importing US things as before and not put extra fees on top, so they don’t have to find new suppliers and cause disruption? Then it is just America punching itself in the face not both of them.

.... Well I'll tell you what Trudeau,.... None of us people wanted these tariffs either... At least not the people who are sane... I don't even think the people who voted for Donald Trump wanted these tariffs against the rest of the world either....I really don't understand the sense behind it because this is not going to make America greater.... It's going to destroy the economy of America and whatever the country it is that he poses these tariffs on... He thinks this is a strategy for getting what he wants... But I'll tell you what, he may be shocked and sadly mistaken when he finds out that it might just backfire ...this is a very conceited attempt to get the type of economic condition that he envisions for his new Dictatorship over America....he has alienated United States from its allies in Europe as well as its allies here at home.... This is probably about as dumb as his treatment of Volodimir Zelensky that just transpired on Friday at the oval office...and that idiot Vance is the one actually that has started that little debacle....I don't know man I thought these guys had more sense than to do this kind of shit.... But see this kind of situation is not going to affect him or his billionaire buddies because they have so much money they can cushion themselves until the cows come home....these assholes don't have nothing to worry about except the American people finding an emergency way of getting his ass out of office unless he changes course on all of this... I don't know if he can be impeached or not... But it might be a smart thing to find out if it IS possible.... AND EVEN IF IT IS WE STILL HAVE HIS SITTING REPLACEMENTS STILL IN OFFICE AS WELL SO I DON'T SEE THIS GOING AWAY WITHIN THE NEXT 4 YEARS UNLESS HE COMES BACK TO HIS SENSES, AND POSSIBLY GOES TO A DOCTOR AND HAVE HIS HEAD CHECKED....\nDTheMadkat123\nFrom a borrowed phone \n....the only thing I really do support that he is doing is securing the border and dealing with immigration issues here.... That's it that's all I was hoping that he would really focus on being in the oval office, and possibly standing by Ukraine, and Israel during these evil days.... Buddying up to Putin is like the single most insane thing that has come from this as well..I just hope and pray that he comes back to his senses and backtracks on all of this shit.... Besides I like Canada House whiskey, and Canada Dry Ginger ale, and other products from Canada.... Stand strong Canadians, I love you all, and I hope we can make it through these tough times ahead...but obviously the road that we're traveling now there really is no guarantees is there ?? Lady can you shut the hell up and go back to what Trudeau is saying ??

Dumb man does dumb things. Trump and Vance are a modern-day version of Beavis and Butt-Head in politics.

❤Canada.Donald this is a very dumb thing to do?

It’s not a dumb thing for him to do. His goal is to stay out of prison for whatever Putin has on him. If he dismantles the country completely there will be no pathway to prosecute when the truth comes out which it will. Rather than dumb it’s a dark and sick and sociopathic thing to do parallel to only a handful of the worst bad actors in history. We need to distinguish between dumb and evil. This is the distinction the WSJ missed.

Well, you can’t expect smart things from a dumb guy (potus) sorry MAGAots

I will still buy Canadian products. If I can pay more for eggs, I can buy the wonderful produce and other products from Canada. This really is a dumb thing Trump has done. I hope something happens to undo what has happened.

For the 1st time - Trudeau did a sensible thing. This is literally a dumb trade war.

That thing that is a wanna be dictator is hated by the majority of the U.S. I did not vote for him EVER and never would. He is evil to the core. A liar, a thief, a cheater and dumb as a box of rocks. He does have some special skills when it comes to crime.

You don’t have any positions to tell me what is dumb thing to do…?

Trump is doing a lot of dumb things lately… Here’s a good thing he should do…. Get rid of JD Vance!!!!

Pierre Elliott Trudeau spoke like a real respectful world leader! Hey Dumb Donald maybe u can learn a few things or two ! Dumb ASS!

You Amercians by letting these megalomaniac narcissist Idiots to power are going to suffer the consequences... how dumb you must be to hit your most loyal partners in the back and suck the dicks of your enemy.... oh yes it is enough if you are Trump and Musk.... how did we let things go so wrong... ha yes... because we are to Stupid!

PM Minister Trudeau said one thing wrong. The orange Hitler is not smart. Trump is as dumb as a box of rocks.

Americans voted against their interest by voting Trump instead of Harris. Now that was a very dumb thing to do.

At 8:05 Justin agrees with Wall Street Journal and says Donald is doing a dumb thing.\nNow, Donald must have some reason to do all that.\n1) Being very self-centered, Donald just wants to show the world that he can do everything he wants => put him in loony bin.\n2) Donald is a Russian spy => put him into Gitmo.\n3) You tell me, because I don't know.

With a dumb, degenerate convict in the white house stupid things are bound to happen.

Gawd! He has to talk to our president like a five year old— “We did big things.”…. You are a smart man doing a dumb thing!” What an embarrassment to our nation!

Smart person don't do dumb things, Dump person do dumb things.

“This is a very dumb thing to do” yes!! Thank you!

My Premier is right, it's a dumb thing to do BUT saying that Trump is intelligent is a loooong stretch lol

it's not anti-Americanism. It's anti-Donald doing dumb things.

well dumb donny doing it again a guy that's no idea about business and politics making america the great asshole again and the republicans following him because they are owned by putin and comrade elon maga complained about all sorts of things are now finding out that what they complained about is themselves

Dumb people do dumb things. Trump is a moron.

Smart person can’t do dumb things in his whole life

You are half right sir, this is a dumb thing to do, Trump is NOT a smart guy.

Prime Minister is not saying any dumb thing, he is just polite. The lady from Ottawa is not in her senses criticizing Hon. PM, JT.

I’m sorry the guy we elected is smart, but does dumb things. This is going to hurt everyone.

A dummy almost always does dumb things.

He his dumb ??? and the most dumbest thing ever is what they did to Zelenskyy bullied him in front of media and billions of people all over the world is watching there probably laughing at those lunatics

Putin is not playing Trump, they are allies.\nTrump do indeed do dumb things, but often what looks like stupidity is just evil. The US is now in the hands of Vladimir Putin. In the end russia won the cold war.

A dumb thing to do he's done a lot of stupid things that's mine the carbon tax to fuel tax house tax food tax Trudeau you've done a lot of bad things to Canadians
