“I Think it is a Great Idea. 51st State!!!” – President Trump Continues Calls for Annexation of Canada

President Trump isn’t joking now. Perhaps he never was.

The incoming President posted a statement on Truth Social early this morning, denouncing the United States continuing to “subsidize Canada to the tune of over $100,000,000 a year” while repeating his desire to make Canada the 51st state.

“Makes no sense!” he said. “Many Canadians want Canada to become the 51st State. They would save massively on taxes and military protection. I think it is a great idea. 51st State!!!”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau traveled to the United States to meet with Trump at his Mar-A-Lago estate in West Palm Beach on Friday amidst Trump’s decision to impose a 25% tariff on all products from Canada and Mexico in response to the “illegal alien invasion.”

“On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders. This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country!” Trump said on Truth Social late last month.

This caused Trudeau to board a plane to Florida for a face-to-face discussion, which Trump later described as “productive.”

According to Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy, Trump humorously suggested that if Canada cannot sustain its economy without what he claimed was a $100 billion annual exploitation of the U.S., perhaps it should consider becoming the 51st state.

“We’re told that when Trudeau told President-elect Trump that new tariffs would kill the Canadian economy, Trump joked to him that if Canada can’t survive without ripping off the U.S. to the tune of $100 billion per year, then maybe Canada should become the 51st state, and Trudeau can become its governor,” said Doocey.

Trudeau and his Cabinet reportedly shrugged off Trump’s comments as “teasing” earlier this month.

However, recently, Trudeau took a weak offensive against Trump, declaring himself a “proud feminist” while claiming women’s rights are “under attack” by Trump and his base. “Regressive forces” are taking hold across America, Trudeau said. This weird smear of Trump was followed by another weak offensive from Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who threatened to cut off fuel to the United States if Trump imposes tariffs on Canada. However, The United States accounts for more than 75% of Canada’s exports, so this probably won’t work for Canada.

If Canada doesn’t start paying its fair share, who knows what kind of deal Trump, a master negotiator, will work out?

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump recently signaled a conquest of our northern neighbor, posting an AI-generated image on Truth Social portraying himself standing next to the would-be 51st state’s flag atop Canada’s mountainous terrain. “Oh Canada!” Trump said.
