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.

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.
he is the leader of the US and represents all of America ..... whether America likes that or not no longer matters.
If more Americans were to better demonstrate just how much they do "not like it", we might be more inclined to believe them.
It's called propaganda and people fall for it. Most people are pretty gullible and will doom scroll beliing what they see or hear. 1984 shit.
Yes - but we will fight it. I will die Canadian than live a single second as an American.

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.
It's exactly what Putin did re: Ukraine, and it's his marching orders from his boss right now to make them not look as bad for doing it to Ukraine
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 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.

Dear Trump
Get fucked you Evil fascist piece of shit nazi!
Canada
Well said
Democratic voters would like to sign on to that.
Eventually people will become media savvy enough to recognize weasel words. In case you're not:
'Canada is considering joining the US' is not wrong, it's just misleading.
The reading that most people will take from it is "Cananda is considering joining the US and that consideration is leading them to join the US" as this is generally how 'considering' is used in English.
But, it isn't technically untrue. The 'Canada should join the US' topic has been a pretty hot topic in Canada. Overwhelmingly people are against it, but you can't be against something without considering it.
'Considering' is a weasel word that allows for people to imply one thing without technically lying.
You'll also see 'after' used a lot as a weasel word.
"Stock prices fall after oil futures increase" implies a causal link (i.e. that oil futures rising caused stock prices to fall) when, technically, it only states a temporal link: Oil Futures rose and then 24 hours later Stock prices fell. So stock prices fell after oil futures increased.
It's just as technically correct to write "Stock prices rise after local farmer's prized cow gives birth". Sure, those are two things that happened and the sentence is describing the correct order of things but it implies that these two events are linked in some way.
Hopefully this makes you one of today's lucky 10,000
Same deal with the word "entitlements". MAGOPs like to throw it around like it's a pejorative term. "Entitlement programs like Social Security..." Bitch, everyone who's paid into those programs is entitled to receiving those benefits because that's what an entitlement is. It's not the same as saying "President Trump feels he is entitled to a free, used 747 because the interior design looks like a whore house with wings."

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.
If only Canada would take us...
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.

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.
That's always been his strategy: keep repeating the lie until it becomes true.
Straight from Goebbels' playbook
Except it won't cuz Canadians ain't ever considering shit that donny wants them to

Canada is NOT considering it. Fuck off US, then fuck off some more. And when you’re done fucking off you can fuck off again. Forever.
It's long past time for the 25th amendment to kick in.

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

I mean, most places are considering it
That consideration is generally "hell naw" tho
and if my grandmother had wheels, she would be a bike!
Nope
America is legit our biggest threat. Not China not Russia. We need a dome against America.
Also, dome is a term for condom. Funny.
This guy is a pathological liar
Derpy Donald read it on TwitterX, so it has to be real.
Trump Makes Wild Claim Canada Is ‘Considering’ Becoming U.S. State
That's not a "wild claim", it's a blatant lie.
Demented Donald
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
