Fleeing to canada could mean in the future to flee to a 51st usa state, hopefully this will never happen…

It would be the biggest state. I doubt Canada has a republican majority, so for Republicans this would mean a nightmare. Never elected again. Not that elections will be an issue when Trump manages to sit until death, like his buddy Putin, and Xi.

Oh that's just the rhetoric. It'll never be a State. That would give it protection from the corporations. It'll be a territory with federal laws forcing them to allow corporations to mine and log anything the corporations desire.

Narcisstic Buffoon Trump says he going to take over Canada so that he gets your attention for that one particular day.

Narcisstic Buffoon Trump says he going to take over Greenland so that he gets your attention for that one particular day.

Narcisstic Buffoon Trump says he going to take over Gaza so that he gets your attention for that one particular day.

Unless and until you hear news about actual US troops landing in Canada, Greenland, or Gaza, don't give Traitorapist Trump any attention at all for that crap. If he actually did any of that, he would have to pay a significant price. He is not saying anything important, so you are safe to go about your life.

I don't agree. I agree with him trying to get your attention, but I think it's because he doesn't want your attention at the stuff he's actually doing. Plastic straws? Rly? Better double check whatever else he's doing. He's constantly distracting everyone with some weird bs to hide his malpractice. No one cares about some simple executive orders when he's threatening to invade Canada, everyone will write about some stupid placric straws instead of some boring stuff which actually is harmful AF.
