Trump trolls Trudeau after his resignation with new bid for Canada to become the 51st state
2025-01-07
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Donald Trump took credit for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resigning on Monday.

The U.S. president-elect suggested that Trudeau stepped aside because he knows Canada cannot be successful without help from the U.S.

'The United States can no longer suffer the massive Trade Deficits and Subsidies that Canada needs to stay afloat. Justin Trudeau knew this, and resigned,' he wrote on Truth Social just hours after Trudeau's remarks.

It appears Trump is getting more serious about wanting to make Canada the 51st U.S. state and is feeling emboldened by Trudeau's resignation.

The PM dramatically resigned in remarks capping a spectacular fall from grace on the same day the U.S. Congress certified the 2024 presidential election results for a Trump victory.

What started as a joke during a meeting with Trudeau at the end of last year is now becoming a full-fledged and apparently serious proposal by Trump for the U.S. to envelop the neighbors to the north.

'Many people in Canada LOVE being the 51st State,' he said of the idea.
