Isn't it unconstitutional to make Canada the 51st state?

Why would it be unconstitutional to add additional states? I mean there would need to be an agreement and vote, but nothing stops potential growth.


Either as a joke or a sarcastic reply to Canada saying they can't afford the tariffs.

Republicans (whom are currently in control) wouldn't want Canada as voters, as they would make the voters more liberal and less likely for them to get elected.

Canada is not a unified country. Many people in Ontario descended from the United Empire Loyalists and therefore have a real animosity towards the US. People in Alberta had a very different experience where many American families moved to Alberta for better opportunity and therefore have a much more positive view toward the US. The problem is that the US is such a gong show now who would want to be part of it. Not that Canada is any better but at least Canada is not out starting stupid wars all over the world like the US is.

Should annex both Canada and Mexico.

I have been saying this since I was born.

If all the Mexicans want to come here, fine. Put them to work BUT use the land. Together we can be strong. They can't seem to run their country anyways.

Not really. If Canada wanted to join, and Congress passed a law.

Texas was an independent nation before it was annexed by the the US. Yet Congress cut down its size a bit before admitting it. The other parts later became parts of other states.

I suspect Canada would have to be split into several states due to its size.

The funny thing is it would help liberals not conservatives, with all those new liberal states!

I suspect Quebec would resist and become independent.

Of course, so would Canadians, so it would never happen! And Britain and the rest of Europe would protest.

Trump is a dweeb.

I think everyone is missing the point about trump.... He is the magician, the one waving the magic wand around in intricate patterns, your eye following it... Meanwhile the other hand is reaching into you back pocket, unnoticed.

By throwing up these constant distractions you ignore the reality at your peril

I mean, it wouldn't be unconstitutional. It would have to be made a US territory first. I don't see Canada selling itself into that though. And if we went to war to take it we'd be killing a lot of the people that make Canada a good place

It’s more of his propaganda, however it sets up a troubling premise. It shouldn’t be anyone’s surprise that an authoritarian regime wants to forcibly take its neighboring countries by violent military means. The “they want to do this” falsehood is how this has started with other aggressive nations. Trump is taking cues from his heroes, notably Putin.

Meanwhile, all the northern blue states be like "Canada, please adopt us...🙏🥺"

Actually it was a stroke of genius.

He figured that comment would make the Canadians build an double wall at their own expense

Smart, huh?

He thinks he is a "very Stable Genius"

Banter, nothing political. Yup!

No.
My best guess is he's trying to play "bad cop", but it's hard to ever know why.

It was probably a joke.
Unless we are planning a war I don't know about?

I think it is because he is a Hoser at heart. A Hoser is an American that pretends to be friends with Canadians so they can drink their beer and steal gas from Canadian farm machinery with a rubber hose. It could also be a distraction from his ridiculous tariff plan. Cheers!

It’s legal. The process is spelled out in Article IV, Section 3 of the Constitution.

Maybe he wants king Charles to head of the two countries 🤔

Its just narcissism on display. He wants so badly to be a dictator. Imagine being the smallest person in the room. Putin & Kim Jung Un can have a person murdered or tortured at the snap of a finger. The orange overlord has to put that person on trial and wait for them to be sentenced. Hes the laughing stock and the weakest. So he will try to flex his muscles in any way that he can to seem scary.

Insane clown posse 🤡

He's being a bully is why. Prime Minister Trudeau complained that if we implement the tariffs Trump is threatening, it's going to ruin the Canadian economy, and fat Donnie Dorko told him that if he doesn't like it, Canada can join the US.

I expect Canadians to meet him with a Maple Syrup Parade followed by burning an effigy of King Charles

not a constitutional scholar, but I would think it's unconstitutional to annex another sovereign country(?)
