People talking to themselves in echo chambers and making bold claims used to end up in mental asylums.

Let’s MAGA by bringing that back, especially for this mentally challenged felon.

    He’s trying to normalise the idea of the US taking control of Canada. It’s utterly insane, but if he repeats it enough plenty of people will just switch off or subconscious accept that Canada “should” be part of the US.

      I hate that you’re right. Normalization is the goal, but this is far from fucking normal. Even language like “51st state” betrays a wild ignorance of Canada and the U.S. procedures for admitting new states.

      As a US citizen, Canada should not become part of the US.

      It’s been 77 years since the US admitted a new state and almost 100 since we’ve raised the number of representatives. D.C. residents make up a large portion of the federal workforce and even they don’t have representation in Congress. Quite frankly, there’s no political entity in the US with experience bringing in a new state and all the logistics and legal work that it requires.

      There is no path for Canadian annexation where the Canadians will be treated fairly.

      I really doubt that it needs to be said a second time for the tramps and I really doubt that its gonna sound any better for normals even if it repeated a billion times!

      Tramp exclusively replaced his staff with yes man, lest they would never let him do the tariffs…

      I wonder where he got this plan from.

      If he was really smart, he would start pressuring other countries to not refer to Canada as a nation, and start pushing other governments to stop direct interactions - but he already burned all of his bridges.

      We’ve all normalized that he is the leader of the US and represents all of America … whether America likes that or not no longer matters.

      The fact that he is there doesn’t go to show how unhinged he is …

      … it goes to show how unhinged we all are.

        If more Americans were to better demonstrate just how much they do “not like it”, we might be more inclined to believe them.

    The US is just a temporary union of entities with an experimental system of governance. Some states should consider joining Canada under a democratic political system that has worked for hundreds of years.

      Last state out has to pay the national debt!

      US holds like half the debt of the world. That would be a really interesting scenario.

          2.3 billion dollars in physical currency

          21.8 trillion dollars in total currency

          8.5 trillion dollars in debt owned by foreign countries

          36 trillion dollars in debt total

          Foreign entities are promised half the current total supply of USD

          Oh it would be an absolute mess

      The entirety of the east coast rightfully belongs to Canada and a huge chunk of the SW rightfully belongs to Mexico, the “purchase” was made under duress, there was no real consent involved, they’re prolly lucky they didn’t receive the Native American treatment being mostly of Spanish descent.

    For many years, the government was operated by the people who conceived and operated the Conservative Propaganda Machine, and they knew the difference between the truth, and their propaganda.

    But now most of those people are dead, or near it, and we are now being operated by those idiots whose entire political education came from the illogical, nonsensical, immoral spewings of the Conservative Propaganda Machine. They are so poorly educated in logic and critical thinking skills, and have been so deftly manipulated by professional liars like Rush Limbaugh and his disciples, that they think The Truth is anything they claim it is, and worse, they truly believe their own propaganda - to the point that they will create policy based on their own lies.

      The difference between a cult and a religion: In a cult everyone truly believes in what they are being told and the person at the top knows it’s all bullshit, when that person dies it’s a religion.

    With every accusation being a confession, does this mean the US will soon become a Canadian Province? This is the weirdest timeline.

    Bringing the useless “king” to canada has no effect like i expected on the mad man Trump. Maybe he is talking about the cqnadian conservatives
