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.

          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
