Summary
Donald Trump’s push to annex Canada as the 51st U.S. state is confusing due to its sudden and unexplained emergence.
Initially praising Canada as an ally, Trump now aggressively seeks annexation, imposing tariffs, criticizing trade deficits, and challenging established borders and treaties.
Former officials and congressional Republicans express bewilderment, stating they have “no clue” about Trump’s motivation.
Canadian leaders and the U.S. business community strongly oppose the move, citing sovereignty and economic harm.
Republicans also question Trump’s strategy, noting annexation would add millions of liberal-leaning voters and complicate American politics.
It might be confusing dumb muricans, but its pissing canadians off
Yeah, I have never hated the USA more than I do now, and Americans kind of pissed me off before all this already with the whole superiority complex thing. Even if everything reversed course overnight, Canadians won’t ever forget any of this
