Only Works as a State’: Trump Vows Not ‘To Bend’ On Tariffs Until Canada Is Absorbed Into The U.S.

According to the US Supreme Court, a US president cannot be prosecuted for crimes (if they're related to their official duties, but whatever goes, I guess). This means that Canada is faced with the fact that they're being attacked by a foreign power with a ruler not beholden to the rule of law. If they give in, they're going to be conquered by a king who is not bound by a national constitution, legislative body, nor courts. This is an existential threat to their freedom as individuals with rights.

I hope that people in the Pentagon remember that following illegal orders is a crime, too, and you cannot be forced to do so. Something established in Nürnberg when they took care of the Nazis.

An order to attack Canada, Mexico, Greenland, or Panama would basically be such an illegal order.

Please remember that all this is noise to hide the great billionaire sacking of america. Smoke screen.

Thanks, now Canada can more easily commit to exporting its energy and resources to Asia and Europe.

Canada will outlive Trump.

We’ve been subjected to costs that we shouldn’t be subjected to. In the case of Canada, we’re spending 200 billion a year to subsidize Canada. I love Canada, I love the people of Canada. I love I have many friends in Canada. The great one, Wayne Gretzky, the great. Hey, how good is Wayne Gretzky? He’s a great one.

why tf does the media present this as anything other than unhinged dementia word salad

Is Quayle still alive? He’s gotta be pissed about the “potatoe” thing.

I know trying to make sense of the stupidity that is Trump's "plan" for America is a lost cause. But why do they speak like turning Canada into a singular state makes any god damn sense??

Also, is war inevitable? I honestly don't know. Shit is not looking good. If war breaks out, I would find a way to flee and volunteer to fight on the opposing side. No way am I supporting my country on the wrong side of history.

When the President of the United States says this shit, is it okay now to say - as a Canadian - that I wonder why more Americans aren't trying to kill him yet? Like, what the hell is going on? HE IS GOING TO GET US ALL KILLED.

Who the fuck is Trump to decide if we’re a sovereign country or not.

At this point: Death to Trump. Murder Trump. Eradicate Trump.

I’ll fight and die for this country.

TRUMP DESERVES DEATH!!!

I want off this ride.

STFU about this fucking petulant imperialist nonsense. 40 million insurgents is what this orange fuckface will get. US is not getting one fucking square CENTIMETRE of Canadian land. I used metric on purpose too. fuck the USA.

It's incredible. Trump lost it a long time ago. He has no connection to reality. He's mentally disabled. Yet world leaders now have to seriously respond to the incoherent shit that falls out of his mouth.

Trump needs to be removed for this and it's not an exaggeration to say there are at least a dozen other unconstitutional things he's done that he should be removed for as well. But the GOP-held congress doesn't care about the constitution either so this is only going to continue to get worse.

Who ever would have guessed that a serial rapist wouldn't take, "No", for an answer?

He needs to find a more productive obsession that's much less likely to lead to a war, like building model boats.

The US' most important good is intellectual property. They rely on other countries to protect their IP. If you no longer rely on them for trade because theyre tariffing the shit out of your country, you don't need to appease them anymore by protecting their IP.

He bends over for putin all the time. Strange...

I honestly hope this just fuels our country to find other, better, trade partners and to also bring in free trade between provinces.

He says the US doesn't need Canada, we should do the same.

Canada, this guy ain't gonna learn until you burn it down a second time.

Fuck off. He is a senior Alzheimer patient.

I'm sure Ontario, Alberta, British Colombia ... will all be happy to lose their provincial legislatures for one State House. No local representation. All provincial systems of trade destroyed.

This is idiotic talk.

Geezus. Is he really fucking serious about this shit?

Remember, it ain't just trumps dumbfuck ass. He's got a whole cabal of his team telling him to do this shit and encouraging him. This idiot doesn't know wtf he's doing without other people feeding him info.

We should be asking who's behind all these ideas.

Trump is a moron who is courting WW3. Also water is wet. NEWS AT 11!

In the spirit of the Ukrainians on Snake Island, I say "American president, go fuck yourself"

We won’t stop fighting against Trump until he is absorbed into the ground.

Other than the consequences that would happen as a result, it'd be hilarious if Canada ended up doing a, I think we call them, "preemptive targeted use of force against specific individuals determined to pose an active threat to national security".

How fucked is it if another country, historically our closest ally, assassinated our president so many of us would just be like "yeah, makes sense".

This news article has been posted on r/worldnews and upvoted to be one of the top posts of the day at least twice already, and the mods remove it every single time. Feels like they are trying to cover up Trump’s plans for Canada, at least for now. Probably until more Americans can be brainwashed against Canada.

And I will not relent upon my statements of fact that Trump is an asshole, rapist, pedophile, fascist, lying, narcissistic cuck until he is impeached or dies. See how likely it is for me to stop saying these things?

Edit: forgot rapist, so hard to remember everything he's so shitty

If he really means that, then Punxsutawney Trump has just forecast another four years of recession.

This is just a distraction to distract Americans, so they do not pay attention to all the things Krasnov Trump and Felon Musk are doing.

If he invades Canada we’ll make Vietnam look like a cakewalk.

We look like you. We speak your language. We consume your media. You’re going to fight an enemy who looks, acts, and is just as technologically advanced as you. Fighting insurgents who had nothing in common with you was already challenging enough, now imagine not knowing who is who

I think if this stupid bastard makes any kind of military moves, there will be an uprising. Invading a long-standing ally is ridiculous.

Imagine the whole world boycott United States of Gilead

So Trump is cool with Canadians moving to the USA and getting a job?

Has Canada considered adopting USA as a province? USA seems like it needs help.

Imagine being so stupid as to vote for little d over the price of eggs and getting a war with Canada.

Why does Trump want the US to be great again? 🤔 It seems like the US can’t be great and humble anymore under the Trump administration. 🤷‍♂️

Two months later... OK now that Canada is the 51th state (not 51st, 51th)...the official language is English so we are deporting all the French people here illegally to France!

....Canada: ehhh we're still not a US state. WTF is wrong with Trump's dementia pills?

Come to Canada.

Find out.

It's as though Trump think's he's the first person in history to realise that canada has some nice things.

If you have a $200b trade deficit you can just take over that country and then there's no deficit.

"Canadians must surrender or die" - Future news from 2027

We are one Big Mac-invoked stroke away from being able to afford Canadian Peanut Butter again.

Well this shit is likely not helping american military moral, which is good since this war will be rough and Canada needs every advantage/deserter available.

I just don't understand how he got caught on this thought? I'm no foreign policy wonk, but I just don't get it. Why would you want to start random beef with the neighbor. It's like a weird parody that I don't know enough about to understand.

Is he just Putining?

To our Canadian friends, I'm really sorry about all this nonsense. I love Canada just the way it is. Can't wait for my next trip up to Toronto or Montreal. Always a good time. I'm a little worried that I might not get a warm welcome on the next trip though.

10 Provinces + 3 Territories = 1 single state's worth of representation.

GFY DT.

If we had a working government, the 25th would have been invoked a few times ago. It's one thing to go along with Grandpa as he rattles of craziness, but when Grandpa has power to make those things happen, and when the ones around him are somehow seeing the demands as rational...what a screwed up family.

Lol. I actually support this.

It'll be worse for Canadians, but better for the US and therefore the world as a whole.

I mean, imagine how all those Canadian voters can affect Congress.

Embargo time, baby. Let’s clear that trade deficit right up for ya, bud. Time to outlast.

Everything this man does is what a Russian asset would do to weaken the United States.

The Overton Window has shifted so far in just a couple of months, I'm pretty sure the glass shattered

I never thought that WWIII would be started by US. And US being the best buddies with Russia when they are setting the world on fire. I really hope US could get their shit back together soon. That really is a shithole country, not an inch of better than Russia. I don’t have words to describe how much I hate that shithole.

Canadians, they just want your chickens and eggs.

Canada will be waiting!

Next thing you know, we'll start intercepting their maritime vessels and press-gang their sailors.

The solution is easy. Canada is already bigger than the USA, so the US should join Canada.

25th Amendment.

What I read in the article was this. There is going to be a war between the US and Canada. Trump didn't say that, Trudeau said it.

All I see Trump saying, is that the US does not need items from Canada, if the US is losing money in the process. He also said it would be great if Canada joined the US.

i like how hes sticking to 51 state spin as a distraction to the firings doge has been doing lately.

I wonder how many people know you can download for free or purchase the files for 3D printed guns. The additional parts can be bought, legally, in discreet kits from easy to find online sellers - but many of those parts can be bought or modified from commercially available hardware. I wonder if people know that.

Hopefully carney is up to the task of getting us new trade relations soon.

Odd how he doesn’t make the same claims about Mexico. /s

To be honest, Canada partly has itself to blame. They let Russia interfere in US elections for a decade at this point but didn't lift a finger to interfere for the other side that respects them. That attitude needs to end.

Edit: People seem to be misreading this? I'm saying Canada should interfere in US elections. Everyone who hates democracy is already doing it and Canada/Europe is letting them win.

Id be down to let Canada and Greenland into the EU. Give Trump a big fuck you.

Garbage news source. Trump never posed that ultimatum.

Read up on the Motti defense.

Chop 🪵 hosers

I am hoping that Trump is dumb enough to declare war against Canada, the EU, Panama, and Mexico simultaneously. That would make it easier to dogpile the fucker.

For the moment, though, it looks like that he is gearing up against Mexico first. IIRC, something like 10 brigades are being placed at the border. I think he might be able to convince the cartels and official Mexican government to ally, considering that he can't tell the difference between anyone who isn't him.

Fuck, guess I'm buying some guns.
