President Trump said he would talk to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney about making Canada the 51st state. But the president said he didn’t expect it to get to the point of using military force — though he wouldn’t commit to the same for Greenland.

“Something could happen with Greenland, I’ll be honest,” Trump said in an interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that aired on Sunday.  He said that “we need that for national and international security,” but he added “I don’t see it with Canada. I just don’t see it.”

    Let’s stop debating the details of a stupid plan. Trump deserves total, unreserved opposition, not submissive "well, actually…"s.

      No, he deserves prison. In the special section for dementia. That’s not Canada’s job. Americans need to sort their stuff out, lock him up and stop looking for countries to come to their rescue while they let him threaten with annexing. And stop bending the knee. I mean cmon’ how spineless can one be?

      Canada didn’t bend the knee. Not like America has to him and his whims. America already has its own congress, a senate and a judiciary system. So not sure what you’re expecting Canada to do at this point to fix a bumbling dementia riddled idiot for America who put him there in the first place and seem to have failed in their own system to remove him whilst all the while complaining about it.

      This is an American failure. Not Canadian.
