The president-elect recently quipped that Canada should become the 51st state and has proposed imposing tariffs on the country.

Summary

Trump mocked Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as the “governor” of the “Great State of Canada” on Truth Social, following recent discussions about tariffs on Canada.

Trump has joked about Canada becoming the 51st U.S. state, linking the idea to U.S. trade deficits with Canada and Mexico.

Trudeau, responding to tariff threats, pledged to counter any unfair trade measures.

The remarks have sparked lighthearted responses, including Ontario Premier Doug Ford joking about the War of 1812 and Sen. Bernie Sanders referencing Canada’s healthcare system.

    If Canada was granted several states then we would tilt the senate to the democrats.

    Most likely he’d want us a slave state like Puerto Rico

        He clearly says lots of things he hasn’t thought out, understand or is going to go back on. He’s a liar.

          Oh yeah, I’m not expecting logical consistency, more like just seeing what the implication is via a thought experiment.
