Trump Suggests Canada Becomes 51st State and We Buy Greenland

We have an idea that Trump says things just to troll the insane-left knowing they will go bonkers over his words.  But honestly, when it seems like all of Central America wants to come to America, why not just take over Mexico and make it the 51st, 52nd and 53rd states?  Why not offer to buy Greenland?  Why not take over Canada and make it into a few states?  Who would stop us?  The entire nation of Canada GDP is smaller than the GDP of Texas…so Trudeau is really less powerful than a U.S. Governor…which Trump points out.

President-elect Donald Trump took aim at Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal in a series of Christmas Day social media posts that suggested the United States could take control of all three.

Writing on his Truth Social platform, Trump kicked off the lengthyposts by wishing a merry Christmas to all, “including to the wonderful soldiers of China, who are lovingly, but illegally, operating the Panama Canal.”

He referred to the American lives lost during the canal's construction more than 100 years ago and added that the United States "puts in Billions of Dollars in ‘repair’ money, but will have absolutely nothing to say about ‘anything.’”

Trump then mocked Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whom he referred to as “governor," and suggested once again that the United States could annex Canada as its 51st state.

He wrote that "if Canada was to become our 51st State, their Taxes would be cut by more than 60%, their businesses would immediately double in size, and they would be militarily protected like no other Country anywhere in the World."

Trump continued his post by addressing “the people of Greenland, which is needed by the United States for National Security purposes and, who want the U.S. to be there, and we will!”

Trump said in another post that he had encouraged former professional hockey star Wayne Gretzky to run for prime minister of Canada but that Gretzky “had no interest.”

In his posts Wednesday, Trump also mocked President Joe Biden as “a man who has absolutely no idea what he is doing” and sent season’s greetings to the “radical left lunatics.”

The posts build upon a series of messages Trump has delivered in recent weeks.
