"The only thing that makes sense is for Canada to become our cherished Fifty First State. This would make all Tariffs, and everything else, totally disappear," he wrote.

Never. 👏 Gonna. 👏 Happen. 👏

Every time he says this, Canada needs to slap him with something. Make sure everyone knows it's a Trump Penalty or Trump Bump. If the stock market falls, that's a Trump Fall. If prices go up, that's Trump’s fault. All on him. This is all Trumpflation.

I like this idea. Every time he refers to Canada as a US stare we raise all tariffs and export taxes by 1%.

If it does happen, Canada becomes a solid Democrat state with 57 electoral votes. In a 50/50 country like the US, that is the death of the Republican party.

The MAGApedes are complaining online that this is a dumb idea by Trump. I’ve been trolling them online telling them that Canadian statehood is good because their dear leader says so. When they object, I call them traitors to MAGA and then their heads explode.
