Donald Trump again suggests Canada should become 'cherished 51st state' of US

The US president, Donald Trump, has again suggested that Canada become the 51st state of the US during a press conference outside the White House with Elon Musk.

Appearing to pitch the perks of joining the US, Trump claimed that Canada was highly taxed and that the US had comparatively low tax. He argued that such an arrangement would also solve the 'tariff problem'. 'Canada would be our cherished 51st state,' he said

Your culture created this man, America.

Then you crowned him.

Imagine a downstairs neighbor that keeps having violent fights with his wife, they yell at the kids, you hear gunshots, weird people go in and out of it. Then one day they come upstairs, you don't open the door, they yell "HEY. Let's turn this into a duplex. Let's join our flats."

Canada shall never surrender to this bullying!

Canada has strikingly different values than the USA. We're a northern nation and like other nothern countries, we provide universal health care and other support services. Health care is not a business here. It's a human right. We regulate which guns are allowed to be owned and by whom, following an RCMP check. We have very different values.

If you have no use for Canada, why would you want it to become a state?

Canada should slap a 100% tariff on Tesla

But Canada is a member of the British commonwealth with King Charles as their head of state.

NO! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! We here in Canada are absolutely fed up with this nonsense.

In Canada there is an universal health system, public school and so many things that guaranteed to canadians the human fundamental rights... Taxes are high becose Taxes are fair if the state guaranteed an efficient welfare system

Maybe it's time to say that Alaska has always been Canadian and that it should remove these artificial borders and annex the great state of Alaska to Canada.

Trump should be in jail, that's what actually should happen.

[marypatsiliva]

thinking of Trump - one recalls Albert Einstein
“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

He needs clinical help if he believes Canada will become a state of the US.
Our country is beautiful and we proud Canadians will not back down!!
Thumbs up to our Government !!!!

How can you as a professional journalist stand there and listen to the bs he is spewing

[pedalingprospector]

He doesn't "cherish" anything but himself...and maybe a side of nuggets.

[veritascaute]

Be the 51st state and risk a leader like you? We've already had Trudeau - absolutely not. No to your Anschluss, no to your tariffs, no to your disrespect - thank you for showing us precisely why such a forced marriage with an arrogant abuser cannot be allowed. The only thing that's "tremendous" is your narcissistic lack of insight.

If Canada is not a country, Elon Musk should serve in South Africa's military.
