One of the qualifications to be the leader of another country must be to have the self-control necessary to avoid punching Trump in the face.


President-elect Donald Trump joked to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that Canada should become a 51st state during a discussion on tariffs over dinner Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club last Friday, two sources briefed on the conversation told CNN.

Trudeau’s impromptu trip to Florida came just days after Trump promised massive hikes in tariffs on goods coming from Mexico and Canada starting on the first day of his administration, specifically calling for a 25% tariff on all products sent to the US, a version of which Trump mentioned during the dinner. After what was described as polite pushback on the matter from Trudeau on how such tariffs would hurt the Canadian economy, Trump joked that if that were the case, maybe Canada should join the United States as a 51st state, the sources said. One source emphasized that the comment was meant to be a joke, and that the other dinner guests took it as one.

Trudeau should have countered with an offer to become the 51st through 63rd states and mentioned how it would be the largest “acquisition” by any US President and no one could ever top it.

Haha! That might work for Trump, but there's enough GOPers in Congress who are smarter than him.

Trump has said that he doesn't kid. He doesn't joke. And indeed I can't remember him ever doing so.

Remember: this is the dude who wanted to buy Greenland.
