Both Canadians and Americans seem confused about where President Trump's idea to make Canada the 51st state came from.

"Never, ever heard him mention it," one former White House official says. "Ever. No clue where that is coming from."

I believe these billionairs & Trump are trying to expand American to include Canada & Greenland because of rare metals like lithium used for batteries. If you were a right wing billionaire IE Musk, Zuckerberg, Besos, etc you fund Trump's scheme to expand your wealth. It's always about making money

The answer is always Putin (or Elon, which is also Putin)

Stand strong Canada, the majority of citizens in the USA think rump is a dumbfuck and we support our Canadian friends.

drunkencircusbear.bsky.social•12 days ago

As a Michigander with friends and family just over the border only 70 minutes away, we've always joked about invading Canada. Jokes any "Operation Leaf Blower" and stuff. But it's all haha.

If we try, I'll be pouring maple syrup in military gas tanks. Send a message and smells amazing.

knexis9.bsky.social•12 days ago

Just use USA corn sugar PLEASE. That’s a huge waste of pure sugary sunshine

drunkencircusbear.bsky.social•12 days ago

Don't I know it. I actually make my own syrup on my property here so I'd only be wasting my own. But yeah, Mrs Butterworth will be going in the tank.

It's not confusing. It's insulting and it's dangerous and it's already hurting America more than the rest of us, but the USA's message to the rest of the world is crystal clear.

There's only one person that's confused.. or maybe two.. 🤔 but it's not the "Real American People"..

Canadian here: when the actual fuck are Republicans going to stand up and say enough?

which-witch-ru.bsky.social•11 days ago

If you’re waiting for republicans to do the right thing, you’ll be waiting for the rest of your life as they’ve never done so…literally all they do is destroy our economy and stoke division, then the Dems don’t clean up their mess fast enough so we vote for repubs again as punishment and repeat.

Elon Musk , that's where it's coming from . Look up technocracy . It explains so much .

If Canada becomes part of the US, Musk becomes a naturalized citizen and can then be named president.

rubiesarered.bsky.social•12 days ago

Naturalized citizens cannot be president in the U.S., and we don't name them, we elect them.

I think so, but his cult members don’t. Sad times for America and the non-cult members.

dwblue.bsky.social•12 days ago

It's diversionary tactics, he knows whenever things go bad he can bring that up & divert the media's attention to mainly that & drown out other things

mlamb.bsky.social•12 days ago

Trump surrounds himself with unhinged crackpots but sure it’s a mystery.

sodaburp.bsky.social•12 days ago

He doesn't know either.

beccaroob2.bsky.social•11 days ago

Key is the date and general time frame-he keeps referring to the Golden Age-apparently he’s loved tariffs for years but I think he only started the Golden Age annexation garbage in term 2

I’m guessing someone started feeding him history lessons about this

It's not complicated, Putin needs the Maritime Rights from Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal.

jeffisontheroad.bsky.social•12 days ago

Because the man talks shit and the media gobbles it up without question, never backs up and asks, "what?" or anything even on the edges of journalism.

eskopettay.bsky.social•12 days ago

He wants to be like putin. That's where it's coming from, from putin.

wendyjablow.bsky.social•12 days ago

The idea isn't coming from anywhere. It is 100% a bullying tactic meant to make the world see Canada as inferior to the US.

skytati.bsky.social•12 days ago

But did anyone think we are stronger than US? We are a better governed country but def not stronger economically or militarily.

wendyjablow.bsky.social•12 days ago

Inferior does not equal weaker. Canada is not inferior to the US. And, honestly, I'm not sure it is not as strong economically. It have vastly more natural resources than does the US, and I believe less debt.

skytati.bsky.social•11 days ago

Way less debt per capita

fstop414.bsky.social•12 days ago

i hope canada becomes the 51st state…it will have about 50 electoral votes making it hard for republicans to ever win the white house again…well done, trump, well done

Simple. The President of the United States is an ignoramus, supported by a legion of christofascist culture warriors who are so bone-deep stupid they think he's smart.

maya-malcoms66.bsky.social•12 days ago

If 🇺🇸 took over 🇨🇦 & Greenland, it would become the world's largest country, surpassing Russia. It would dominate North America & the Arctic, reshaping global trade, military balance, & resource control. This would be one of the biggest land takeovers in modern history, altering world geopolitics 🤯

Putin

732lighthouse.bsky.social•12 days ago

Trump’s always had too much free time; he’s never really done an honest day’s job in his life. Trump doesn’t relate to everyday ppl’s patriotism, sacrifices & basic needs. He doesn’t care. It’s obvious Trump’s self-serving agenda is becoming more & more delusional.

dpocock.bsky.social•12 days ago

I've always assumed it is an imperialist (and narcissistic) identification with Putin. Canada is Trump's Ukraine.

ambr3tt.bsky.social•12 days ago

Trump wants Canadian water and timber. And of course all other resources.

nelsonoftrafalgar.bsky.social•12 days ago

Probably from putin. I can imagine putin telling trump “It’s good to take territory by force. It’s how the U.S. and Russia became what they are today. Let me have Ukraine, and you should take Canada and Greenland.”

knexis9.bsky.social•12 days ago

ITS COMING FROM YOUR PRESIDENT. HE SAID IT. OWN IT.

eabh10.bsky.social•11 days ago

It is his salacious appetite for control, I.e. Gulf of America, etc.
