Canadians and Republicans alike are confounded as President Donald Trump increasingly links a trade war to his push to annex America's northern neighbor.

Summary

Donald Trump’s push to annex Canada as the 51st U.S. state is confusing due to its sudden and unexplained emergence.

Initially praising Canada as an ally, Trump now aggressively seeks annexation, imposing tariffs, criticizing trade deficits, and challenging established borders and treaties.

Former officials and congressional Republicans express bewilderment, stating they have “no clue” about Trump’s motivation.

Canadian leaders and the U.S. business community strongly oppose the move, citing sovereignty and economic harm.

Republicans also question Trump’s strategy, noting annexation would add millions of liberal-leaning voters and complicate American politics.

    If you are confused by any of this, you have turds for brains.

    He is a dementia-riddled adult psychopath, and will do anything he wants to destroy this country and everything we stand for because he’s mad 1000% of people don’t let him.

    Either do everything you can to resistance stop him, or just lay down and let it happen. There is no in between.

    Endless you actively and openly resist Trump, you are an absolute fucking Nazi, just like he is. Four, without your active and strong resistance, you might as well just be ready for every horrible thing he does.

    Shame on you for thinking there is anything in between the freedom of the people and Trump‘s Nazi thinking that there could be compromise puts you on the same historical ridiculousness as Neville Chamberlain, and the results will be no less than the same, and very likely far worse because you did not stand up and resistant

    I hope your milk toast, appeasement and make you happy to the bread. Everyone else left living on earth will hate you forever.

    Remember that

            I’m not responsible for your feelings. And I’m definitely not responsible for everything that you and your friends said that to you, as being Nazis

            If you don’t like being called a Nazi, stop being a fucking Nazi

            If you don’t like being called a Nazi, then stop being a Nazi.

            The problem here is Nazis, not the fact that I happen to notice that you and all of your friends are Nazis.

            If you don’t want to be called out as a Nazi, stop being a Nazi
