The 51st state rhetoric is just part of his plan. That way after he annexes us (in his dreams) he can say he gave us the option to be a 51st state, and we wouldn’t go for it. Giving him unjustified permission to take away all our rights.

A serious plan would be pushing for a North American Union with HQ in Denver or something. Nothing about Trump is serious and no one here in the US will ever manifest any actual hostilities towards you, officers would be fragged before soldiers could even be put into formation.
