Dear Canadians, please continue boycotting the USA. Trump is STILL talking about you!

He STILL thinks you should be our 51st state.

That’s rude and condescending at the least and belligerent at the worst.

We must defeat MAGA Trumpism. It has to be eradicated. It’s a disease. The way to do that is to destroy the US economy while the GOP controls Congress and the WH. Help us turn Americans against that bastard!

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump, in a new interview, was circumspect about his duties to uphold due process rights laid out in the Constitution.

He also said he does not think military force will be needed to make Canada the “51st state” and played down the possibility he would look to run for a third term in the White House.

The comments in a wide-ranging, and at moments combative, interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” came as the Republican president’s efforts to quickly enact his agenda face sharper headwinds with Americans just as his second administration crossed the 100-day mark, according to a recent poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

If he makes the "offer" of statehood I hope Carney tells him to fuck right off.

Of course, attempted annexation would necessarily mean WAR with Canada, and the deaths of thousands of Americans and Canadians.
