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

How refreshing to listen to an intelligent leader! i only take issue with him calling Trump a smart guy. Trump will never do anything but ridicule and insult Trudeau and Canada no matter what concessions Canada makes. The great thing is that Trump never had any kind of plan except to tariff the hell out of our former allies. Canada is very systematic about their tariffs against US. They are using a scalpel rather than a sledgehammer. Very smart against very stupid, childish, and undisciplined.

Lots of idiots making comments in here I see. No knowledge just stupid lefties making stupid comments. This guy destroyed Canada. Worst Prime minister ever! He is the problem

D.T is not a smart guy at all. Smart people don't make stupid mistakes.

Whoever supports this loser should know, after 9 years of his stupid horrible policy ? this guy was forced by the ppl to resign, shutdown the parliament & won’t let election happen. This is the reality of freedom that leftists promise. \nGO YO HELL JUSTIN JIHADI ?

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.

Donald is not a smart man of course. But, in terms of approaching a fascist and a criminal, since Canada will be hurt, Trudeau has to be the decent guy he is. Brilliant speech, the best I have heard ever. The guy is poised and knows how to speak. He is smart and compared to him, Trump is incredibly stupid. Bravo. Let me be clear, Trump is a traitor, a bully, a conman, totally lacking in compassion...he is driven by his perverse megalomania and narcissism. He is, in reality a very mentally sick man. And the Republicans are his pathetic cowardly accomplices. Given the continued support, Trump will run American into the gourd, even risk a war to get the attention he needs so badly.

IS THIS GUY STUPID? YOU HAVE TO BE CIVIL WITH EVERYONE..... CANT TRY AND STOP A WAR BY BEING HOSTILE. \n\nTHATS WHY CANADIANS ARE STUPID

Uh oh... 50% tariffs for calling Donald stupid. He is a very sensitive guy, big mistake!

I can't believe the people of the USA really elected him. Come on, you know Trump plays very dirty--I refuse to believe that the majority of voters are this brain dead. If our nation is this stupid then we deserve everything that is coming to us. PS: Trudeau, it's way too nice to tell Trump he's a smart guy--he's evil, not at all intelligent. Can we please stop conflating scheming, bullying and manipulation with intelligence---any dumb ass can scheme, bully and manipulate (the prisons are full with this kind of human being), but you actually have to be intelligent to collaborate, listen and manage.

I wish the Stupid people of America ?? had the sense to vote for a real leader like this Guy.

Trudeau is wrong. Trump isn't a smart guy. He's got a criminal's cunning. He knows how to shake down a sucker. But he is dismally stupid and ignorant and a constant liar. He is undoubtedly allying himself with Putin and other criminal dictators. BLOTUS: Biggest Liar Of The United States. Imbecile-In-Chief. And a traitor to the western world.

Blistering? Lol. Okay! Nobody cares what this tool has to say. He's out at the end of this month! Canada will lose this battle every time. Good job CNN. You just made yourself look stupid again! You guys are good at that

Everyone in this comment section is so stupid. \n\nThis guys was supposed to step down??

Sorry Mr Trudeau, but Trump is NOT a very smart guy. He is dumber than stupid!

You are a very intelligent man. Tell that orange guy like it is!! He is stupid! We will suffer here! Don’t let him humiliate you, Mexico china like he does

Stupid guy

Trump isn’t a “smart guy”. He’s president because the average US voter is very, very stupid.

They are friends behind closed doors! \nWake up people your being played its how they stay in power and wealth and you stay in poverty and hardship fear and worry.\nSeriously guys are you really that stupid to believe the nonsense you see on the tv and radio,

Trudo must be lying when he said that Trump is a “very smart guy.” Is Trump that stupid that he doesn’t even understand that he is stupid? I don’t think so. He understands that he’s a dumb block.

I really don't see where Trump is a very smart guy he is very stupid and dumb not Smate. We are Canadian, and we will stand strong and together ??????????

Very smart guy?! WTF. He's as stupid as they come. Anyway, it is so nice to see what leader is supposed to sound like.

Inflation is to the roof, Make food and housing affordable, please people just help impeach him, he is golfing while the american people are struggling everyday.... He is just trying to pass stupid laws that keep getting blocked by courts, Come on Trump supporters try helping fix it by calling your local office and impeach him, I bet anyone else is better than Trump, we know the country needs changes but we are still the biggest economy of the world the richest country, Why do we have to feel like is normal not to have affordable food and housing?? The basics of life... All the immigrants are gone, They even left by their own will, and Some Americans left to other countries, Mexico, Europe, Asia..... What do you guys want?? Having an empty country once was the biggest economy of the world?? Is just crazy even a blind person can see he is destroying the whole country..... He is not even a good business person we all know he didn't payed taxes, he went bankrupt so many times he knows how to scam people, Saying the USA government doesn't work because he feels like it, Just travel people so you can see the difference between usa government and other governments around the world........

You don't back down from a fight but you're neutral you guys don't have a f****** s*** for an army you should back down if you don't back down you're stupid.....lol

Trump’s fixation on fentanyl is a ruse. He’s just trying to show Putin that he’s a tough guy but he’s just a coward. He’s too stupid to see the bigger picture.

Very good speech. All true and i cant wait to see the criminal trump to get boo'ed out of the oval office . Seldom have i seen someone as stupid as him and seldom have i seen such stupid measures that destroy not others but only and mostly americans.\n\nGod bless america to never vote again for the dummest guy in the country

All this stupid idjit had to do was stop the flow of illegals and stop the drugs in BC but instead he chooses to play Mr. tough guy

Unbelievable that the whole world has to deal with this unqualified Criminal. They all have to speak to him as if the trade War has anything to do with them or Commerce. When in reality it's all about stealing from the poor to give to the rich. Trump does not like that he is the president to ballooned the US deficit more than any other president in history. This was done because of his tax cuts for billionaires the first time around. He wants to extend the tax cuts but he has been warned what it will do to the deficit. So tariffs are his plan to put back into the US coffers what will not be going in from billionaire taxes. The Red Hat Club has been stupid enough to buy the tariffs have anything to do with immigration or drugs. It's so easy for Trump to use these trigger issues to commit his crimes and then excuse it. The cult never questions if they're told it has something to do with hating immigrants. Tariffs are paid for by the US citizen. The little guys. It allows the US government to become a middleman in every transaction. Getting a cut when it has done nothing to deserve it. It is the way Russia runs things. Trump is always using the Russia Playbook of how to dismantle a democracy. It is the opposite of free trade and capitalism

It is very hard to disagree with anything that the PM said EXCEPT saying, against all evidence, Trump is a very smart guy. Trump is so stupid he doesn't realize how stupid he is.

STUPID GUY

Yet, a majority of Canadians are so full of hatred themselves and want to replace Trudeau with a Trumper named Pierre Poilieve. This is how stupid people are all over the world, this is not just a US thing. The Trump propaganda forced Trudeau to step down for no real reason. He let in too many immigrants yes,,but so did every other world leader, thats it, but enough for the Canada Trumpers to throw away free health care. Trunpers in Ontario just won a landslide with Dictator Doug Ford.\nOnce Pierre Poilieve takes charge we will be paying for healthcare and a 51st state. \nCanadians are making the same mistake due to fake news and propaganda by Trumpers/Truckers. Those Canadians dont want free health care anymore, they want Pierre Poilieve's hate filled agenda over a smart well spoken guy like Trudeau. Just watch and see...Canada is about to f up bad..

A smart guy doing stupid things? Stupid is who does stupid things , right Forest?

That is really true what Trudeau said. Trump is a smart guy, but he's acting stupid.\n Trump may quite possibly be smoking crack

You have Trudeau; we have a guy with a chainsaw. Yes; we are stupid.

I am Canadian, I have worked and studied in US for 6 years and I must say this is sad and stupid. Donald is not a smart guy like PM says he is sinister guy.

This is so sad. Stupid Orange ? guy making a mess. I am so embarrassed

I applaud you PM , Canada is so lucky to have you as their PM. And us here in America, are suffering with this trying hard to be smart guy, but really dumb and stupid and un-American.

Thanks Donald for making Trudeau look like Canada's savior. This guy and his party were on the verge of getting kicked out before stupid Trump came along.

the comments show how dumb the american population in, 16k could be Canadians. But hey, so many want an authoritarian regime while listening to this guy make profit off their stupidity.

The next time you guys see some of these hoochie mamas waving their big butts in the air and showing off their long nails and telling us how stupid we are to be working because look at all the goodies they have, please report them. I'll tell you I'm going to have a party when that happens.

Unfit for service? Immediately eyepatch guy. Made me laugh. Depth perception doesn’t matter. So stupid

What I don’t get is America isn’t against immigrants coming to America (the legal way) but people want to protest coming here illegally and are upset people are getting deported because they didn’t come the legal way. I work with a ton of guys that came to America the legal way and are all for deporting the illegals back to where they came from. The legal immigrants work hard and pay taxes and illegals don’t pay taxes they get benefits and haven’t paid their dues like the legal immigrants had to do to get in. Taking care of illegals takes away from Americans getting the help they need and we have to pay taxes. They protest and wave the Mexico flag holding signs saying “Immigrants built America” and $hit on the things America has done for them. If they built America and are so proud to be from Mexico then why don’t you build Mexico up like you say you did in America. If it’s so great why are you coming to America illegally and running from your country. Do you think protesting and blocking streets and highways is going to get you anywhere with Trump and do you think your going to win the American people over by pissing them off doing stupid things like blocking highways and Streets. You don’t win people over by pissing them off and you don’t win Americans over Shitting on America waving your flag when this country has done more for you then your own country. If you came here illegally and broke the law then you should’ve thought about that before doing it and being put on the ICE list.Go back and by all means come back when your legally allowed and while you wait for that to happen and the papers to go through build up your own Country!

Omg this is so stupid I feel like we’re in a South Park episode skit . Cmon GUYS wake up ! This is what we needed back . Some common sense

Can that man seated there with the anchor be sent to a bathroom for few minutes after the experiment this madness of CNN staffers anchoring rubbish instead of real news will change. Pls two of these people should go to bathroom for 5 minutes. Looking at the guy wearing wig talking nonsense makes me vomit! Full grown man acting stupid. This is sickness go for a cure don't inflict ur Obama generated sickness to everyone pls!!!
