Dear Trump Cabinet members,

The earlier you 25th this guy, the better chance you have of keeping your cronyism going for the foreseeable future.

Shut the fuck up, Trump. Shut the fuck up.

He's trying to normalize this by actively repeating the crazy. Not to mention that Canada itself is comprised of multiple provinces that are mostly larger than many US States, so this would be more than 51st state (sorry this bothers me a bit even with all the crazy).

Until you put your rabid dog down-fast, and hard, America is NOT welcome in Canada!

Fuck you, America!

None of those statements are supported by any facts, or data. The opposite is mostly true.

You want to manufacture an invasion?

This WILL hurt the average American more than it will us.

You voted this POS in? GET HIM THE FUCK OUT OR FUCK OFF!

Just found the response:

Dear President Trump and the Republican Party of the United States,

Canada is a federation of 10 provinces, each with sovereignty equal to, if not greater than, the states in your Union, whose sovereignty and rights you are such great champions of.

Therefore Canada would not become the 51st state. It would become the 51st, 52nd, 53rd, 54th, 55th, 56th, 57th, 58th, 59th and 60th states. Each with two senators and a proportional number of representatives in Congress.

Your kind offer of joining your Union has been accepted. Please prepare accommodations for 20 new senators and dozens of new representatives, and kindly inform Senator John Thune and Congressman Mike Johnson there will be new elections for Senate majority leader and Speaker of the House.

Please do not worry about security for the new senators and representatives, which will be provided by units of Joint Task Force 2 that will be arriving shortly in the DC Metro area.

Looking forward to working with you,

Yours truly,

Canada

Don't forget our three territories,, all of which need full representation...

And our provinces are so large they should each be split in 5, making us the 51-102 states.
