Trump’s Canada obsession

Question for Trump voters:

Are you on board with Trump’s Canada 51st state ideas, or do you think Trump is just saying stuff to get people upset and use that for leverage?

Apparently, he is obsessed with the idea, and he is serious:

Question #2: Do you realize irrational obsessions are one of the first signs of Alzheimer’s disease?

From what I read on conservative forums, a lot of Trump voters are against it because Canadians are generally more liberal than those in the US and believe those electoral votes will swing elections towards Democrats indefinitely

@TinyViolins exactly. That is why trump’s obsession makes no sense, and if he truly believes it (those around him claim he is obsessed with the idea even when the cameras are off), then he very clearly has accelerating cognitive decline.

There are many different types of dementia and irrational obsessions or delusions are common to several. Although tRUMP’s father reportedly had Alzheimer’s, tRUMP’s own personal cross to bear more resembles other types.

In my opinion it's more interesting and important to note the US public reaction to Trump's floated proposals.
Y'all are okay with colonialism and war. Y'all are fine with economic war. Yup.
As Trump talks, the USA admits more and more about itself, its politics, its lethality.

People thought he was joking about Greenland the first time he was president. Almost ten years later, he's still talking about it.

@BohemianBabe agreed. The difference is in the bullying way Trump approaches it.

Funny story - in first grade I pointed to a map and asked about canada and greenland, and when she told me they weren’t part of the USA, I asked when they would become part of the USA. She chuckled and said the world doesn’t work that way…

@trollslayer Yeah, there's nothing really inherently wrong with acquiring land. I just think it's silly that so many presidents wanted Greenland. But sure, if the Greenlanders took a vote, and the majority wanted to join America, I would support America buying it from Denmark.

He's so obsessed, yet republicans would likely never win an election again if (and it would never ever happen) Canada "joined" the US lol

I think it's a distraction so you won't focus on what's really happening... The gutting of the laws
