Trump's rhetoric toward Canada has appeared to soften in recent weeks, but the White House says his position remains that 'Canadians would benefit' from being a U.S. state.

      A daughter who, although a terrible terrible human being in her own right, at least had the brains to stay well away from his bullshit and keep her head down this time around.

      Don’t know where she is, and I don’t particularly wish her well or wish her ill. I’m just glad we don’t have to hear about her and I’m glad that wherever she is, she’s staying out of her father’s shit show this time. It’s better for us, and I’m sure it’s better for her mental health.

        Oh no, she’s made a few posts online supporting him and his policies. She is not in the lime light, but she is still supporting all this.

    It’s also proof they don’t mean to have real elections again. “If” that happened and elections were fair, the republicans would never win the house or the electoral college ever again.

      I’m sure Canada would just become a territory and wouldn’t have voting rights.

      All of Canada would get two senators, not very many Reps either. And no tax paid health care.

        They’d have the same number as California. Imagine adding a second, more liberal, California. Looking it up they are both about 40 million people.

    Remember that time the White House burned down? The US tried to take Canada then. They and their allies the British burned it to the ground. The US shouldn’t have declared war on Britain. We did and got our asses kicked.
