Trump: ‘I’m really not trolling’ with talk of Canada as 51st state

President Trump in an interview published Friday was adamant that he is serious about his talk of adding Canada as the 51st state

It seriously ticks me off how news organizations are referring to trumps actions.

It's always cutesy, nice, polite.

Trump doesn't want to "add" Canada, he wants to annex it, invade if necessary. This is a hostile dictator talking about destroying our country and I think we should choose words that describe a little better what the fucker is trying to do

Yes, please continue to unite Canadians against the conservatives before the election

Canadians would teach the United States the meaning of insurgency.

Given how impotent the US was in the face of resistance in Iraq and Afghanistan, how would they be able to cope with an insurgency where all the enemy combatants can blend in and walk among them?

The irony is that America is more likely to split up into at least two and probably more countries before any territory a added to the existing boundaries. I give America les than three decades before it splits up.

“In fact, we don’t want them to make cars for us. We want to make our own cars. We don’t need their lumber. We don’t need their energy. We don’t need anything from Canada. And I say the only way this thing really works is for Canada to become a state.”

So he DOES need things from us. If he didn't need us he'd just walk away and not trade with us. But why would he he want us as a state if we didn't have something he wanted?

He DOES need us, our workers, and our resources but he doesn't like that we're our own sovereign nation. He needs us but he wants us enslaved and controlled.

Trump insists that Canada needs the U.S. more than the U.S. needs it

Sounds like a bad ex-relationship

“In fact, we don’t want them to make cars for us. We want to make our own cars. We don’t need their lumber. We don’t need their energy. We don’t need anything from Canada. And I say the only way this thing really works is for Canada to become a state.”

Article 1, Section 9 of the US Constitution:

No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State.

Trying to remove any and all trade barriers in order to prevent trade.

Yes thank you for reminding everybody who knows the truth that you're an actual jackass. Everyone else is deluding themselves, it's driving us crazy.

As an ABC voter, I'd like to thank Donnie for the help in during this crucial time of the election campaign. 🍁💪

Do not vote for the Canadian trump party.

The same way France was a province of Germany? #occupationBloodbath

Could Canada invoke NATO's article 5 to request assistance to defend against the USA?

There’s a great scene in a movie with Joe Pesci and a baseball bat.

I fantasize about Trumps fascist face being on the receiving end.

How Putin of him!

We don't need anything from the Untied States. I encourage everyone to continue to avoid buying products made in the USA.

this is off-topic, but i have to bring it up somewhere because it's been on my mind... i haven't seen any discussion about what he intends to do about quebec (i'm sure there is discourse happening in french-speaking parts of the internet). but, like, french is our second language, and quebec is very serious about maintaining their cultural heritage.

if canada, theoretically, were to become a state does that mean he gets to erase french-canadian culture? or does french become a second language of the US?

he obviously hasn't thought about this, because nothing he says or does is backed by any reasoning. but i just wonder wtf he thinks quebec is, and whether he cares about the culture there being kept

US programming for war on Russia and China, amplified by all Canadian media/parties has been very successful. The US's promised destruction of Canada has very little pushback from Americans. The Canadian political consensus of closer ties to Europe only works if Europe(+Canada) has closer ties with China. Otherwise, Europe will choose to suck up to US's larger market instead of Canada, and in colonial sycophancy olympics, promising the US to help screw Canada over is path to get tariff exemptions. Europeans have same CIA programming that we do. A completely mental self destructive attitude towards Russia.

As Canadians, we have the exclusive choice of protecting our sovereignty and prosperity or remaining programmed into US empire's warmongering enemy manufacturing.

We have a lower average median wage than the poorest state, and house prices that rival the US most expensive cities. Trump might be right when he says we cant govern ourselves, at least when people keep voting for the same cabinet that got us here, there might be something in the water at this point that requires urgent investigation.
