Is making Canada the 51st state just a distraction?

I still wouldn’t live there

I still wonder if Trump is a hidden Democrat trying to ruin the Republican party?

Trump might be doing everything at once before he gets removed from office? By congress or by heart attack?

Most Canadians live below the 49th parallel. In Ontario. It’s cold in the rest of Canada.

If Canada joins the USA, then most Canadains will move south and empty the country into the USA part.

Distraction! He needs to distract from the Musk boys adding hacks into every govt computer system. I am imagining that random SS checks will be a few percentage short every month. That would easily result in savings that no one will be able to chase down and fix.

It is sort of. It’s his negotiating style. He has no intention of it becoming the 51st state.

I thought that renaming the Gulf of Mexico was a distraction until it happened.

The way Trump sees it, Canada will have two senators and some number of representatives. As if the whole country counted as one US state.

Now, why would Canadians ever go for such a thing? They have provinces and territories, each of which having their own governance. And Quebec – can you imagine the backlash if the Quebeckers lose their French identity?

Trump doesn’t want Canada for the peoples’ sake – he wants it for minerals and petroleum and precious metals and all the riches he can plunder.

I can’t wait for the US Army to launch a raid and take over Toronto!

Or maybe, he will move all the Canadians to Gaza??

Needs to be Puerto Rico instead.

I think so, or should I say hope so Trump and Musk are getting ready for extending that huge taxe cut for the ultra rich you know the one that going to add over 4 trillion to the debt.

You could probably call it a distraction.

I think it’s more Trump sitting back and laughing at Democrats freaking out about the suggestion of it. It’s a game for him. Like taking candy from a baby.

@elbanditoroso It is “Lebensraum” all over again.

He certainly has alienated our ally to the North with that statement and the tariffs. Words have consequences.

Neither at this point. It’s his shock and awe strategy to get what he wants for Americans.

Alienate your largest trading partner is a great strategy KNOWITALL.
We have found markets for our oil and LNG, other countries have expressed interest in other Canadian products, the EU is welcoming us with open arms and no tariffs, now the states can deal without Canada in those commodities.

@SQUEEKY2 Good for your country. Meanwhile Trudeau pledged 1.3 billion in border security and will appoint a fentanyl czar, and expand its criminal code to list cartels as terrorists.
Over a quarter million Americans have died from fent since 2018 so hopefully its worth it. Thats 200 dead ever day in 2022 alone, so we appreciate the help.

Yeah we stopped 43lbs of fentanyl at our border compared to 21,000 lbs at the mexico border, and our problem with illegals is they are trying to get out your country not in.

@KNOWITALL wrote ..“to get what he wants for Americans”.

Bullshit. He is pulling this crap to “get what he wants for MAGA supporters”.

Most real Americans are aghast and shocked at the illegality of what Trump is doing.

@SQUEEKY2 Drugs in general have tripled in Canada since 2022 per your CBSA. Its not just fent and yeah we know open borders are a problem, thats why hes working on it.

@elbanditoroso Real Americans, what a fucking joke. Tell that to the folks in North Carolina who fucking froze to death while illegal aliens were put up in hotels.
