Trudeau must have been taking the piss when he told trump he was a really smart guy!!!

I am nor Canadian or American but this Trudeau guy is true leader

That was Justin Trudeau on steroids. What a dramatic change! I don´t know if it is possible according to Canadian law, but if so, you should re-elect this guy. Congrats from Mexico!

all these idiots now all of a sudden liking trudeau because hes saying trump is bad... morons with goldfish brains will forget the last 10 years of this guy because of one speach. craaazy.

The orange guy is doing it because Melania face lit up when she met Trudeau, and her face never light up like that, when she looks at him.

I get all the commentary lifting Trudeau up but when i heard that he is like on his last couple of days of his term i couldn't help but feel that noone so far anyways has come out and let lose with the hard hitting, proper Grammer and clean nice language be dammed, no not anyone to speak to this wannabe hard guy which this guy absolutely is not - trust me , and i get it he is 80 years old, but if you watch him in his 60s and 50's and going back to his youth he never could bust a grape; just all bluster , daddy's money, and when it came time to pay some rent .. he'd pay someone else to do it. A coward thru and thru.

Let me tell you guys something to all the commentators:\nJ Trudeau is a merciful dictator who all he does is talk talk talk with no action, the only action he does is spend taxpayers money for his and his parties benefit\nHe is a extreme socialist praising lunatic who uses words to try and hypnotize his population which does not work. He destroyed this once beautiful country and he publically laughs about it when asked. If you guys think that the USSR was abolished in the 90’s, i highly suggest you take another look at your upstairs neighbour. Take it from a canadian. Do not trust or believe anything that thing says

Trudeau is a man! I respect this guy more than ever!

Canada is falling for it again. Less than a month ago every arena full of people screaming F Trudeau. This guy is resigning by the next election. Vote Pierre!

How’s your CARBON TAX, governor Trudeau? What is Trudeau so against tariffs, isn’t it America just want an equal tariffs that Canada also imposed on USA?! Trudeau. should be talking more againsts his own CARBON TAX. Wake up fellow Canadians!! This guy is sending $$$ to useless Ukraine war. Wake up!!!

I wish Trudeau was the President of The United States! This guy is great and amazing. So much better than Old man Trump/Musk/Vance or whoever is really the President here in the USA?!!!

Trudeau is an idiot king. This speech from a guy that has been pushing for the legalization of hard drugs across Canada and leaving our borders wide open. He has pissed away Canada’s prosperity on wasteful spending and his climate agenda. This buffoon has zero credibility. He is an actor and puts in a good show. I’ll give him that. Mr tough guy. He is laughable. We need a real leader in Canada.

Imagine hating Trump so much it makes forget how awful Trudeau is and even praise him. You guys are nuts.

People keep falling for Trudeau ? our country is now unaffordable cause of that guy

Why is Justin Trudeau lying..Dopey Don is not a smart guy…I know you have to stroke his ego..but that is a bridge too far…Sir..

Trudeau you need to resign you have a hatred attitude Be a smart guy yourself and try to work with the President of America Take your big car plan business to America so you don’t need to pay any tariffs Well you do send your vehicles to America

I hope this hurts the trumpers and sadly also all americans will suffer. we told you this would happen if you elected a vengeful narcissist idiot. this is a very bad idea and trudeau and zelinksky are the good guys and trump is nothing but putins puppet.

Trudeau did not say Donald Trump you're a very smart guy he said the Washington Post said he's a very smart guy so CNN you got that way way off from what he said in his statement to Donald Trump so you should change that!

Can't believe this rat boy gets a salary from my tax dollars. This guy is a Trudeau bootlicker

Trudeau and his allies are cool with people dying. Got it. F that guy.

Trudeau is as much a joke as anyone in Washington ? if you guys would learn to vote you wouldn't need us so much

He called DONALD, this Prime Minister an intelligent adult by not calling TRUMP which is Donald Father which is a good guy himself and not STUPID, CHILDISH and bow to DICTATOR Putin. Salute You PM Trudeau

The US gives $200 billion yearly to Canada. U.S. banks are not allowed to do business in Canada, but yet we allow their banks in the US...by the way LOOK IT UP. You liberals are what's wrong with both countries. Inflation is created by printing money with no concrete backing such as gold/oil, not tariffs. Will tariffs create short term inflation yes, will it stimulate jobs, spending absolutely yes. For those liberals who keep saying how intelligent this ? is...this is the same guy who disarmed his beloved citizens and gave the guns to Ukraine. For those who sympathize with this ?, move to Canada. I have no ill will towards Canadians except the cancerous liberals that allow idiots like Trudeau to take office. Look at the facts before you sympathize with a country that doesn't benefit us in EQUAL FAIR TRADE.

Mmm....????.\nWhy are we even listening to a guy who resigned to lead our nation ?\nNobody understands he and his party are the root of the problem ?.\nHe's a complete incompetent, and he's the one responsible for all this mess.\nNow, he's worried about the border and the fentanil crisis, when everyone in BC knows that the mountains are full in laboratories producing fentanil..\nNow, he's worried about Canadians and crisis..\nWhen he's leaving the country sunk in the biggest debt of all times...\nSeriously, this is FUBAR.\nEnough is enough Trudeau, you already did enough damage, step away for the benefit of Canadians.\nGo, just go away and forever.

Another guy who is telling Americans what Americans is going to feel. \nZelensky gave this same speech and now he wants to come back to the table. \nDidn’t Trudeau quit? \nTrump is waiting for the new guy. Didn’t Alberta already agreed partial terms with trump already.

This guy is a liar. Trudeau is a liar. I live in Maine 40 minutes outside of the Canadian border. I have trail cameras everywhere that pick up people crossing the border all the time in the United States from Canada. We’ve seen it. It’s everywhere all over the state. And where else will they have strong forests full as far as the eyes can see cause 90% of Maine is for the Woods thick dense force in woods anybody can get through that with a compass in the will.

This guy is a liar. Trudeau is a liar. I live in Maine 40 minutes outside of the Canadian border. I have trail cameras everywhere that pick up people crossing the border all the time in the United States from Canada. We’ve seen it. It’s everywhere all over the state.

I agree with everything Trudeau said except the part about Donald being a smart guy.

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

Trudeau is a puke. This guy needs to go and put someone who knows what they are doing in charge.

Maybe Trudeau should have put Canada first over the last decade and we wouldn’t be in this situation. The guys a dirtbag and I can’t wait for him to be gone

Ahhh shut up Trudeau you’re such a sabre rattler. Americans don’t realize this guy is a dictator who prorogued parliament so that he could go on a 2 month tyrannical spree. He’s got 3 more days left then bye bye

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.

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

Trudeau speaks well for a guy that’s about to be voted out. Canada’s next leader will be conservative, and I bet he will work well with trump.

All of these comments praising Trudeau have the memory of a goldfish. This guy praises Chinas communist leadership and also spoke highly of Fidel Castro. Let’s not forget the pandemic. Of course the tariffs might hurt in the short term but you fools can’t see the long game. Bring back more jobs to America and import less. Tariffs will allow for tax cuts.

I wish to side track just slightly from this videos content. This individual who calls himself the PM of Canada is nothing short of a criminal. You're listening to a child pretending to be an adult. Trudeau is the reason that freedom is vanishing from Canada. He openly admires the Communist system of China (social credit system). He has destroyed the economy of Canada all by himself. He is desperate to destroy freedom of speech and punishes all who oppose him. Please remember what Trudeau did to Canadians during the PEACEFUL trucker protest in Ottawa. He froze bank accounts for Canadians who stood by the truckers. He inposed some of the harshest lockdown measures in the world during the pandemic and he abolutely HATES democracy. Have you forgotten his blackface scandal as well? This is the face of an absolute TYRANT pretending to be a crusader for fairness. Don't forget his total ripping during the UN speech he gave about 2 years ago when foreign UN representatives tore into him for his open tyranny against Canadians. His security thugs have assulted journalists simply for asking him honest questions about the Canadian economy and now you are swayed by a suit wearing mobster. He protects terrorists across Canada while simultaneously arresting Canadians for demanding their freedom to be restored. This guy is a THUG in an expensive suit and nothing more. It's nausiating to see how quickly people forget and how easily they are swayed by a bandit in an expensive suit. WAKE UP. Trudeau is the face of evil and you admire him. Nausiating.

Trudeau, you damaged Canada and brought it to where it is right now you have no right to speak on anything and tell about what other people have done. Take accountability for yourself and you have failed the Canadian people. I don’t know why we have a bunch of Canadians over here, sucking you off like they don’t remember what you’ve done. Is everyone on this page who is a Canadian suffering from Stockholm syndrome? Do you not remember what this guy has done to our country with immigration and taxing us with the carbon tax out of the Wazzu. Give your head a shake you sleepy Canadians. Canadians act too weak and that’s why we’re treated this way.

These comments on youtube are funny. Trudeau is the reason why Canada is economically a shell of what it was 10 years ago. Everyday canadians understand his words and threats are empty. Hes a shell puppet who is so hated in canada that he had to shut down the canadian government 2 months ago. Thats right, in a demcracy this creepy fool has shut it down to milk a few more measly months of his power before he is forced to slink away. Worse, under his watch our borders have become fentanyl ridden jokes. Less than 10 percent of anything is even inspected at our ports of entry. Human and drug trafficing is out of control. I dont like tarriff wars, but this is all trudeaus fault - every criticism of the US gov is completely valid. Canada went from #3 at the G20 to last under this guy. 90 percent of the fentanyl going into the US comes through canada.. should i go on...

Trudeau, my brother, My words cannot begin to express to you or your people just how genuinely sorry I am for my country's utterly repulsive and inexcusable behavior throughout the last month and a half and for the downright cruel, hostile treatment you've suffered at the hands of the most incompetent, greedy, poorly educated, narcissistic, racist, sexist, xenophobic buffoon to ever preside over the United States. Not only is Donald Trump an overly privileged, pathetic, whiney crybaby who literally folds his arms, stomps his feet, and launches an all out temper tantrum whenever he doesn't get his way or when someone else has the TV remote, he is a dangerously delusional, high stakes risk taker who wouldn't think twice about using his own mother or child as a human body shield if he thought his life were in danger. There is absolutely no value, principle, moral or ethic he wouldn't betray without hesitation if he suspects there is anything at all to be gained - you know, the type of guy who would poison the entire neighborhood in order to hoard all the complimentary tampons and lip gloss samples from his neighbors' mail boxes just to ensure that he got first dibs on everything before anyone else. Incidentally, he is also the same type of guy who pockets all the flavored mini coffee creamers from the gas station and all the paper bed sheets and Qtips from the doctor's office. I wouldn't put it past him to steal the waitresses' tips off tabletops on his way out the door upon leaving McDonald's. In fact, I would bet everything that he steals the donation jars for Jerry's Kids at the local supermarket. I mean, its already a given that he is likely the guy who filed a lawsuit a few summers back against a sweet, innocent littls FOUR year old boy for having a lemonade stand on property not zoned for commercial use. If it wasn't Trump then I'm sure it's only because he was too busy ordering the National Guard to power hose and pepper spray the 30 or so elderly nuns who had been distributing bottled water to folks demonstrating in support of Black Lives Matter on the hottest day of the year. Satisfied in his victorious battle against the nuns - 9 of whom had been hospitalized for critical injuries including the 92 year old Mother Superior who suffered massive brain bleed, swelling and concussion due to the excessive force of the power hose and an 87 year old nun who lost permanent sight in one eye due to the pepper spray - Trump had the nerve to pose for a publicity shot in front of the church while holding a Bible - UPSIDE DOWN - and scrunching and contorting his face into that hideous trademark scowl he does ever so naturally. Yep. This is the man my fellow Americans chose to represent our nation as President - a man who beats up 90 year old nuns and imposes 25% tax hikes to our ONLY FRIEND in the entire world simply for refusing to accept his invitation for statehood. I mean, come on, Trudeau, is that really asking too much of you? Was it really worth bruising Donny's fragile little ego and sending him into a fit of rage? (Seriously, though, I suspect he really does feel as though you are in the wrong for refusing to humor his delusions and thus embarrassing him in front of all his Russian dictator and Ku Klux Klan buddies.)\nOnce again, I do humbly apologize and I promise I will support whatever actions you choose to take and I will help you in any way you deem is best. \nMuch love and peace always, \nMs. S. Delois Jackson

Trudeau is a Liar and a Thief. He has only Hurt Canadians. Now he is trying to pretend he is Worth Keeping around. We all know he is not. They have had Tariffs on American Products for Decades already Stop acting like a tough guy.

Mr Trudeau is extraordinarily soft, soft as feathers, it really amazes me that Canada and Mexico rush the all month of Jan and Feb to captures felons to avoid tariffs, very poor speech. He claims that he is doing it to protect the people from Canada the real question is why you didn’t do it before.\nClaudia Sheinbaum also rushing to capture the bad guys, when clearly Trump is offering help to capture the corrupt politicians and cartel lords but No, instead she delivers 29 guys that were already captured and been in jail for years… What it’s this ? It’s like ordering a Ribeye steak and getting a pizza. Come on !!

As an American, I just want my fellow Americans to know that even Canadians don’t want Justin Trudeau. The guy’s like a malfunctioning AI chatbot—spitting out pre-programmed nonsense nobody asked for while the crowd collectively checks their watches. He’s the political version of a participation trophy: loud, useless, and only still around because no one’s taken out the trash yet. Watching him talk smack to cameras is like watching a mime in a hurricane—pointless, painful, and embarrassing for everyone involved.

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

I know Trudeau has his problems but I’d rather have a leader like him than a leader like Trump, as an American, I’m jealous of you guys, I know he resigned but don’t pick Canada’s version of Trump.

Yeah yeah just stop with the BS Trudeau,....we've been getting over tariffed for years...and no your border isn't safe...do the research correctly,...and unfortunately we have to push you guys to protect your own border. Remember Canada is a country that won't even pay their nato bill? these guys are full of crap and taking advantage of tariffs is over. Just charge us what's fair. We can't be taken advantage of forever. These people are idiots...we don't need Canada to sustain this country. Time for businesses to come back to the US.

Justin, you are a charismic guy, and your hands are bigger than Trump's. What comes into our country across the northern border is the responsibilty of the American government, not the Canadian's. TRUMP, this should be your prioruty, not PM Trudeau's. His cute socks are far more appealling than your orange spray tan.

I really believe that it just comes down to Trump feeling resentment that he will never be part of a perceived 'inner circle' of establishment world leaders. It's probably over that one time when they were caught on a hot mic dissing him with Trudeau kind of leading the pack. Over the years Trump has shown over and over again that he is that petty and all of his decisions have an absolutely childish basis, yet the American people voted him in a second time. I've run out of patience with the American people too. They're not really doing anything about this except saying online that they support Canada just so they can feel a little better about themselves. If you guys want a dumpy predator for president that's your business but I will be doing my part to fight him and his unjust attacks against my country.

Trudeau hit the bell when he mentioned:- Trump, you're a smart guy..This is a very dumb thing to do..\nA nice way to skin a cat..!\n\nTrump will remove the doubt when he makes a U-turn on the tariffs as it'll make Americans suffer...in pain(economically)...

Did Trudeau just call Trump a very smart guy? ??
