As much as I personally would love to be living in the US right now, annexing Canada would be political suicide for Republicans. The idea that anyone in the MAGA camp, let alone possibly Trump himself, is giving it any serious thought is ludicrous. There's enough shit to get done without this nonsense.

One of Trump's stronger traits is knowing that people will react to his words and playing with that.

So he makes this joke and runs with it to the endless amusement of himself and all of us, with no real seriousness to it, and the media and Canada itself goes insane trying to shit on and debunk it. They will either do something ridiculous in their mad rush, leaving a valuable opening, or actively improve the situation to try and get a smug one up on him.

Look at how the Greenland/Denmark situation is working itself out, even if that one was a bit more serious on his part.

That is almost certainly what Trump himself is doing. But more and more MAGA "influencers" seem to be taking it much more seriously than that.

A considerable portion of the "MAGA Machine" are revealing themselves to be both grifters out to outrage bait you for clicks and perfectly willing to sell America for parts to do so.

They are happy to destroy everything just to keep that train going.

The smartest thing this wannabe Frenchie could have done is make a joke about it instead of taking it seriously. This makes you look unserious.

Big ask.

Demand the stars and you might get the moon.
