Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was not thrilled when Donald Trump joked to him that Canada should become the 51st state of the United States of America, if Trump’s proposed 25 per cent tariff kills the Canadian economy. Trudeau and other officials nervously laughed at Trump’s joke but social media users think it was not a joke as Canada would have to eventually join the US because it is a “broken sh**hole”.
“Canadian dollar is going to die within the next couple decades. I doubt America wants a failed state as its hat,” one user wrote.
Social media users started debating whether the US should also “acquire” Greenland or Alaska if Trump is on such a spree. Many Conservatives are not in favour of Canada joining the US as the 51st state because they don’t want another “blue state”.
“…they are like California on steroids with their current laws,” one response read.
“Maple syrup and hockey for all,” one user expressed enthusiasm over the prospect.
“As a Canadian I can tell you , you only want from Ontario and west. The eastern provinces work just enough to qualify for unemployment and the only worthwhile thing coming out of Quebec are strippers,” another response read.
“Hahahaaa Trudeau was complaining about tariffs and Trump told him that if Canada can’t survive without ripping off the U.S. then Canada should become the 51st state 🤣🤣” one post read.
“President Trump isn’t taking Trudeau’s bulls**t 😂,” one wrote.
“HOLY MOLY! When Justin Trudeau grumbled to Trump that new tariffs would hurt Canada’s economy, Trump savagely told him, “If Canada can’t survive without ripping off the U.S., then maybe Canada should become the 51st U.S. state..” 😂 I have goosebumps jsut imaginging the look on Trudeau’s face when he heard this. He flew thousands of miles just to get roasted. MURICA IS BACK!” one wrote.
What is all about Canada becoming the US’s 51st state?
Fox News reported that during the Trump-Trudeau dinner at Mar-a-Lago which came unexpectedly, Trudeau said Trump’s proposal of 25 per cent tax would break the Canadian economy. “Trudeau told Trump he cannot levy the tariff because it would kill the Canadian economy completely. Trump replied – asking, so your country can’t survive unless it’s ripping off the U.S. to the tune of $100 billion? Trump then suggested to Trudeau that Canada become the 51st state, which caused the prime minister and others to laugh nervously,” Fox News reported citing sources. That was not it. Trump carried forward the joke and said prime minister is a better title though he could still be the governor of the 51st state.
Someone at the table said….
Fox News reported that this obviously created a stir at the dinner table. Someone at the dinner table said Canada would be a very liberal state evoking laughter. Trump even suggested that Candana could possibly become two states: a conservative and a liberal one.
