The fact that he has taken what has been a joke for decades as an actual political position is crazy..

‘It’s up to them’: Donald Trump says

We already told you "no".

But a rapist like you doesn't uderstand what no means, do you.

[-] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

Just make DC or Puerto Rico a state of you want to claim a new piece of land for the ol’ US of A so bad

[-] Ulrich_the_Old@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 hours ago

He is a liar, I do not believe him. He is also a convicted felon and an ajudicated rapist.

[-] ArtVandelay@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago

He is so stupid it physically hurts

[-] RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.works 15 points 18 hours ago

Is he really still going on about this

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 7 points 16 hours ago

He's hoping we join so he doesn't have to invade. He wants us as Austria and not Poland. But one way or another he will come for us.

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 11 points 17 hours ago

Yeah, we know all about your ability to do 'deals', Donald.

[-] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 10 points 17 hours ago

Canada, please boycott, ridicule, and fuck the USA over harder. As a NYer I apologize for the absolute vile creature our population elected into office. We deserve consequences. Invest in the military and secure your borders. Once this fascist is done with his campaign of terror on his own citizens, expect him to attempt and invasion. Stay strong. Many of us are doing all we can to resist. Please pray for us.

Not that it's really going to hurt them, but I cancelled Spotify when I learned they donated to his inauguration. I also will not be visiting your country for a few years, which otherwise I would do.

I would like to cordially invite him to poop out his own liver. Either interpretation of that phrase is fine.

[-] ColdWater@lemmy.ca 8 points 17 hours ago

How about the US becoming South Canada instead?

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 hours ago

Nope. Bust it into 10 pieces and let it cook.

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 12 points 17 hours ago

Hell no. We don't want to inherit that toxic situation

[-] JustAnotherPodunk@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

It would statistically make the housing crisis better through dilution. Just saying...

[-] Frenezul0_o@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

Why is anyone entertaining this rubbish? Downvoted.

[-] m4xie@lemmy.ca 62 points 1 day ago

If it's up to us, we've already said no. But he's a rapist, so he doesn't care.

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 36 points 1 day ago

Oohh yeah, do you want to fear for your life?

Do you too want to die in poverty from medical debts after you stubbed your toe too hard?

Do you too want to stop enjoying weed?

Do you too want to have corruption coming out of the whazoo?

Do you too want to fund rich mobsters to become even richer?

Do you too want to be able to disappear after being picked up from the streets by unmarked cars because you said something the government doesn't like?

Do you too love you watch the government wipe its ass with laws?

Do you want billionaires to become even richer from your money?

If you are this guy, they I got news for you! You can now join the USA! YYEEEIIIIIIII

[-] RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.works 7 points 18 hours ago

I quite enjoy being able to send my children to school without a bulletproof backpack.

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Pussy! Teach your kids some basic ducking and covering!

[-] Auli@lemmy.ca 6 points 20 hours ago

I mean we find millionaires and billionaires pretty well right now. How much of Canada is already owned by American companies?

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 8 points 17 hours ago

How much of Canada is already owned by American companies?

Far too much.

[-] Typotyper@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago

Do you want to be deported to god knows where.

[-] christopher@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 day ago

No thanks

[-] NotAGamer@lemmy.org 20 points 1 day ago

Fuck NO.

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 day ago

How about they become our cherished 12 territory (after Turks and Caicos) and maybe in a couple hundred years of civilizing influence we'll let them become provinces

[-] 0li0li@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

12th? Sorry, I count 10 provinces and 3 territories up north. How do you get to 11 to start with?

[-] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

Like they said, after T&C join.

[-] 0li0li@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

So it should be 15th territory in their post, not 12th (10+3+T&C+US)

[-] Spitzspot@lemmings.world 15 points 1 day ago

I look forward to Canada sending 52 reps and 2 senators to D.C. and flip both houses.

[-] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 day ago

Bold of you to assume we would not just be a territory like Puerto Rico.

[-] rbos@lemmy.ca 7 points 16 hours ago

Yeah. ZERO chance Canada becomes a state, or ten states. We'd be Snowy Puerto Rico.

[-] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 11 points 1 day ago

Well if he intends to make us a territory and not give us voting power, he shouldn't keep calling us a state. States get representation in congress. Words mean things!

[-] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 day ago

You are seriously making this argument with Trump? His words aren’t worth the sharpie they are written with.

[-] KMAMURI@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

No thanks. Deal with the problems you created for yourselves.

[-] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 day ago

Rump the chief convicted rapist and felon can go fuck himself 6 ways from Sunday. Fuck off you disgusting shitbag.

[-] roserose56@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

Speedy deal? Why don't he ends the war he promised and leave Canada aside?
Enough with Trump news and his stupid words. He always says the same thing, he has nothing else to say, its dead end for him and the US, but not for Canada.
