And y'know what? The US would still lose.
There is no way, in hell, that Trump plans on making Canadians into American citizens. Why would he add the equivalent of another California to the voting population. No Canadian will ever cast a vote in favor of the political party that took their country from them.
What version of statehood is he envisioning here?
The scariest part here is that the Republicans are acting, in every way, like they will never be subject to a legitimate vote again.

I thought that's the plan?!
There is no way, in hell, that Trump plans on making Canadians into American voters ~~citizens~~.
We'll be like Guam or Puerto Rico.
That's because they know the fix is in. Here are the receipts

Making us citizens and giving us statehood are two different things, and I could see the former, but not the latter. Not that we would join willingly in the first place
Then he needs to stop calling it a 51st. A state can vote. A territory cannot.
Do US territories legit get no representation in government?
In Canada the territories are a riding, thus have a seat in Parliament (A massive one due to their small and spare population)

The fact that he's even entertaining this is insane. He needs to be removed from office. Fuck the media for reporting on it like this is just one side of an argument that makes any kind of sense.
Bullies don't attack people they're scared of.
Both are a threat with violence and war to independent states, let there be no mistake.
This should not just be condemned politically by every other country, they should boycot the usa
well, might need to fly some drones into american soldiers then
hes using 6600 soldiers for his birthday parade.
The only way they’d do it is that his birthday coincides on the same day they are celebrating a military anniversary.
Otherwise they’d tell him to get stuffed.
Technically Wolverine is Canadian
Technically? He's Canadian
Puerto Rico should be first in that line, followed by DC.
And Guam. And American Samoa. And US virgin islands. And mariana Islands.
And Gaza.
Marinara islands sound tasty
