“Canada called me a couple of weeks ago, they want to be part of it, to which I said, ‘Well, why don’t you just join our country. You become 51 — become the 51st state — and you get it for free,’” Trump told the assembled officials.
“So, I don’t know if that made a big impact, but it does make a lot of sense.”
Trump also claimed Canada is having “a hard time up there” because “as you know, with tariffs, everyone’s coming into our country.” The president then boasted about investment leaving Canada and other countries and going into the United States, pointing to automobile plants.
Say what? Pretty sure there’s record numbers of people leaving the country right now, and tourism is down across the board so people aren’t even coming in temporarily never mind permanently. If we needed any more proof Trump was delusional this is certainly it.
You’re absolutely right, there’s no way Canada wants anything to do with the absolute cluster fuck Trump has turned the US into.
