And we aren't trolling when we say you'll sign your own death warrant, as a nation, and as a person.

the richest nation on earth with a military budget larger than the domestic budget of dozens of countries combined, couldnt stomach a fight against dirt poor cavemen, armed with cold war and WW2 relics, on the other side of the world, who were so culturally alien to them, they might as well have been from mars. And you're going to pick a fight with people who all they have to do is wear a Bruins hat and they pass for an American?

Ask the Russians how the occupation of their Ukrainian cousins territory has worked out. If you could speak to the dead that is. Those who are still alive, live looking over their shoulder for the rest of their lives.

I think this bears repeating.

We will make you forget Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. The insurrection will be continent wide and we will just walk over the border and start looting weapons.

We are tougher than anyone thinks and can survive just fine pretending to be homeless or just in your woods or in a looted home.

We will live among you indistinguishable until something good to blow up comes along, or an American needs tied to a tree with their dick in their mouth.

You’ll never feel safe. You’ll never be safe.

Promise.

At least make the offer enticing, give Canada the option to join as 10 states (one per province); giving them an allotment of the 435 house seats and 20 senators.

I’m pretty sure that would be more than enough to swing the house, senate and presidency towards the left for the next few generations at least.

Canada could literally save the US if that were the case.

Truly the dumbest timeline

“In fact, we don’t want them to make cars for us. We want to make our own cars. We don’t need their lumber. We don’t need their energy. We don’t need anything from Canada. And I say the only way this thing really works is for Canada to become a state.”

So he DOES need things from us. If he didn't need us he'd just walk away and not trade with us. But why would he he want us as a state if we didn't have something he wanted?

He DOES need us, our workers, and our resources but he doesn't like that we're our own sovereign nation. He needs us but he wants us enslaved and controlled.

We’re taking care of their military. We’re taking care of every aspect of their lives, and we don’t need them to make cars for us,” Trump told Time. “In fact, we don’t want them to make cars for us. We want to make our own cars. We don’t need their lumber. We don’t need their energy. We don’t need anything from Canada. And I say the only way this thing really works is for Canada to become a state.

Then stop importing and we'll see how long before it's a problem for the people.

China is walking this dumbass like a dog. How about we don't tie ourselves to this sinking ship.

I like to idly game this out because it truly reflects how narcissistic and uninformed he is. So, he's talking about admitting Canada as a single state. Lets assume somehow that happens, even though the Canadians themselves would undoubtedly push for as many states as possible if joining the US were the only option.

You've now got a new largest state by both population and area, and one that has ridiculous reserves of resources and a coast-to-coast infrastructure. It instantly becomes the most important state. It's also full of millions of people who didn't want to be Americans and who've had a hundred years of more progressive governance than the US. Congratulations, Republicans, you've just skewed the Senate and completely fucked yourself in the House for a generation or more. You've also got 8 or 9 million Francophones who weren't even entirely sure they wanted to be CANADIANS, much less Americans, to say nothing of being Americans in a MAGA world. This is how real troubles begin.

So, in return for dubious "improvements" to the trade deficit, and certain (what?) administrative conveniences (I guess) for a military that already had basically all the access anyone would ever need, as well as a giant buffer territory you're not politically committed to defending with the same gusto you would your own soil, you completely upset the balance of power in Congress to your own party's detriment and add a huge population that hates their situation. Brilliant.

Although, I guess if you're just done with free and fair elections then a lot of these concerns evaporate...
