We all know that President Donald Trump has the capacity to say stupid things every now and then, which is not (by the way) unique to him. Joe Biden took non compos mentis and babbling idiocy to a whole new level, and then of course there was Kamala. But I digress.
Back to Trump.
During his first administration, for instance, the dumbest things President Trump both said and did were in the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic. On April 23, 2020, during a White House coronavirus task force briefing, Trump made comments that sparked widespread mockery (deserved in my view) regarding disinfectants and their potential use against COVID-19. Trump did not explicitly mention “bleach” or “Clorox” by name in his remarks but instead spoke generally about disinfectants. He said: “And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning.”
While Trump did not say that people should inject bleach or Clorox, his unclear remarks were easily and intentionally misinterpreted by the mainstream media to suggest that Trump was suggesting bleach could be used internally.
Total self-own on Trump’s part. Total “crash out” as the kids say. It was an unnecessary self-inflicted wound.
By contrast, Trump’s recent banter about making Canada the 51st state is STUPID beyond repair—literally. Literally stupid and literally beyond repair. It’s stupid on every level, on every margin, in every way possible. It’s a total disaster.

Is the author really that clueless and ignorant about high level deal making?
Much ado about nothing.....and the author is just grandstanding....look at me please....
Just take the kernel of Alberta and Saskatchewan and throw away the husk.
What Trump probably wants with Canada is more a shared responsibility, like unified dairy boards and mineral wealth and a common defense of the north.
I don’t think he seriously thinks of uniting the two countries.
I know there are lots of Freepers who think he walks on water and always plays 4D chess, but I think the evidence shows otherwise. Sometimes he shoots off his mouth and massively screws up. Screwing up the election in Canada and costing what is basically our side in their politics the election was not so bright.
Perhaps the author should check with Hussein, the President who knows all about States 51-57.
Gosh - who knew the poor Canadians were so sensitive?
The red neck thinks Trump is serious about annexing Canada. 😆
Trump is basically saying we might as well make Canada the 51st state because we have to subsidize them every year with a a $200 billion trade imbalance.
You speak as if there is an America First political movement growing in Canada.
That’s funny.
Saskatchewan first at #51
Alberta second at #52
Eastern British Columbia third at #53
Manitoba fourth at #54
Election is April 28. Two weeks to go. There is some polling suggesting the Conservatives have pulled into the lead.
The person who wrote this drivel is a MORON!
I’m not sure Canadian “Conservatives” are any prize.
Apparently, yes.
Sorry. If the conservative hadn’t shot off his mouth like he did in a me too snit fit he would have run against what the left has done to the entire country and won going away.
He botched it entirely on his own.
Nothing president Trump says is stupid! It’s all to get a reaction and then to respond to it accordingly!
Nobody in their right mind would want anything East of Manitoba.
Manitoba would be OK and if we carved Vancouver out of British Columbia, it would be OK. Otherwise HELL NO we don’t want any part of Canada. In fact, for those mentioned above, I’d gladly trade them New England.
I’m not sure Canadian “Conservatives” are any prize.
