Trump confirms his desire for Canada to be the 51st State a “real thing”

1. Canada military at the border when?

2. That citrus-head needs to get his own divided house in order. He’s hated in half of his own states.

   Canada is more likely to absorb fragments of the US after MAGA is done dismantling it than a NATO country is to destroy another NATO country.

3. Bret Baier’s face says it all

4. Trump has an obvious tell anytime he lies: looks away to the right. He’s not serious about this and just trying to get leverage against Canada in trade negotiations

5. He’s going to continue this for the next 4 years isn’t he.

6. [removed]

7. action speaks louder than words, so lets see. his rhetoric is almost an iconic trademark, but until now its just yapping. same with greenland, gaza and god knows next. on the tarrifs he gauged how far he could get and the voters got their bone. i think he is dangerous, but i dont think he is as stupid as people portray him to be.

8. First of all, Canada can’t be a single state. At least each province would have to be its own state. Imagine thinking Quebec would agree to go from the most autonomous province in Canada to being a county.

9. Whyyyyyyyy

   This guy’s a complete embarrassment.

10. I wonder what this looks like in Chinese media and such. This is such a goldmine for them. “American wannabe dictator backstabs and threatens to annex closest ally”. They wouldn’t even have to lie, with Trump making the propagandists lose their jobs

11. Canada should offer peaceful, voluntary annexation to the limiting US states, like Alaska.

12. At least this should help the progressive party in the election in Canada.

13. Is it common knowledge in the US that Canada is larger than the US?

14. Until he proposes terms of how it would happen this is just bluff and posturing and best to ignore him. Cheaper and easier to negotiate an updated trade deal than try and integrate a whole country.

15. Want to have close neighbors who hate you? Keep doing what you’re doing.

16. To add some perspective, the president unilaterally ordering the American military to invade a NATO ally, I 100% see widespread rebellion among military brass. Most high rankings military leadership in America are not Mike Flynn, invading an ally would be seen as an illegal order. There would likely be mass-desertions. The US economy would likely grind to a halt and the stock market would crash. There would be country wide protests that would make 2020 look like a small rally. If that happened who knew what could be next, but it would not as straight forward as getting involved in Iraq or Vietnam.

17. At what point do we stop asking if he is joking?

18. It is lost on Americans that Canadians love their country just as much as much as they love theirs, come what may. Trump is taking a wrecking ball to the relationship, just demolishing it.

19. As a serial rapist, Donald has never been very interested in consent.

20. How long will the republican supporters say he is just posturing? I mean, he could be. But he has a big military in his small hands, he might just go and do something crazy one day. Attacking Canada would be straight up insane. Would the US soldiers even follow such an order?

21. Honestly: if every province was its own state, and got two senators and the population-appropriate number of seats in the House, let’s do it. Republicans would never win an election again.

22. I feel like “Canada 51st state” is going to be the new “build the wall and Mexico pays for it?”

23. I want him to try and do it. 

    Make Congress act like the legislative control it needs to. Make his already idiotic Cabinet stand against him. Make the part of the MAGA cult that thinks it’s just a “negotiating strategy” realize this guy is a full on clown.

    **Most importantly, make any and all of his supporters in the military come back to reality.**

24. Canada would be about 10% of the population and has a pollution that is indistinguishable from the native population and would probably have a lot of sympathizers among the population. The insurgency would bankrupt America.

25. This is his new Wall. He gets obsessed with one thing.

26. Him having to confirm it’s a “real thing” making me think more that it’s really not
