    Man, the dumbest thing about this nonsense is repeating that Canada will only be one state. It’s already broken into provinces, dickhead, at least make a better offer than two senators.

      #1 Ontario being the population of Pennsylvania

      #9 New foundland being the population of Wyoming

      #10 Prince Edward Island only has 150k, could lump in 150k from northern territories

      20 senators for 40m, 5.0E-7 senators per person

      200 senators for 340m, 5.88E-7 senators per person

      It seems pretty fair

    This is the distraction you’re meant to be paying attention to- watch his other hand, that’s where the damage is going to come from.

    FYI, this is unpopular among Canadian voters. Conservative underdog, tries to deny being a lapdog, or supporting the idea, but this unfiltered BS doesn’t help him. It’s just a sign that Trump is completely out of control surrounded only by people who must restrain themselves on pushback to only far stupider things he might say.

    Hypothetically, if canada becomes a state, would they flip our house of representatives blue? I guess more likely they’ll become like puerto rico or guam or something.

    Is he that dumb or does he just want the other guy to win? I’m pretty sure even he knows that this bullshit is why the other guy now has a chance.

      The guy is ranting about a criminal investigation into why his polling numbers are so low. He’s quite literally a demented old man. I think he really isn’t rational enough to see that that he is harming the man he wants to win.

    Will. Never. Happen.

    Canadians will literally die before living for a milisecond as Americans.

    And - this is a declaration of war by the US president. Cause it would take a military invasion to violently turn Canadians into Americans.

      It has long been the case, that if you confuse a Canadian for an American they are offended, but if you confuse an American for a Canadian they don’t mind.

    Is my English grammar lacking or is there something wrong with the “if” in the first sentence? Shouldn’t that be a “by” ("by Canada becoming […] )?

      Commas can be used to identify parts of the sentence that can be cut out e.g. “… wisdom to cut your taxes in half … If Canada becomes the 51st state.”

      Now, here, the comma was used for a list so it shouldn’t have been used that way but I’m sure his meth head brain probably got lost partway or the AI bot that mimics his speech patterns is just that dumb.

    I like how he wants Canada as one state. Keeping the Provinces split would push the Senate to the left for quite some time.

    I would not ordinarily recommend Hitler’s tactics and strategies as a general rule, but he sure knew how to solve the Hitler problem, at the very end. Donny, maybe look into that.
