19. Every time they talk about Canada as the 51st State...

...they just harden the Canadians' resolve to NEVER, EVER do business with the U.S. again!

I really think this 51st state talk is trump 2.0's attempt to desensitize the American media-viewing public; I think the plans are more nefarious.
Would not surprise me if the U.S. tried to launch a ground war against Canada, much like Russia did in Ukraine.
It wouldn't work of course, and the U.S. would get its second Civil War on top of it, but trump 2.0 is just stupid and ignorant enough to try it! First, Canada. Then, Greenland. Then, Mexico, down to Panama. The old Technocracy, Inc. map would be complete.
