A few days ago, Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, visited Trump over his recent tariffs announcement. Not much was said about the visit until now. The two sat down for dinner over a big table with others present. The discussion quickly shifted toward the topic of tariffs. Trudeau argued that it would hurt both nations if Trump implemented his 25% tariffs on Canada. Trump was blunt and jokingly told Justin that if Canada can’t survive without ripping the United States off by $100 billion annually, then they should join the United States and become the 51st state. He even said he’ll make Justin the Governor.
Trump’s statement gave Justin and a few others at the table a nervous laugh. Someone at the table told Trump that if Canada becomes a state in the United States, it would be a very liberal state. Trump responded that they should separate it so it becomes two states, one conservative and one liberal.
