The 51st State
The Redneck Intellectual ^ | 4/8/25 | C. Bradley Thompson

Posted on 04/14/2025 7:15:34 PM PDT by EnderWiggin1970

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.

Trump is trolling and destabilizing the left. Trump has no intention of pushing the annexation of Canada.

“That CLOROX thing is a DAMNED LIE and the Canada thing was a JOKE!

The person who wrote this drivel is a MORON! “

Yep, Trump was just trolling and this article proves it worked. It has them flustered up there...

It’s all schtick.

President Trump knows he can’t annex any part of Canada.

All show. But fun to read about!

Not understanding Trump’s way of poking people to get reactions seems to be the gist of the article.

Dominion Voting Systems started in Canada, still has a major HQ in Toronto.

That should answer your question.

The 51st State is an entertaining provocation of derangement. It works, even in unintended ways.

Well that was brilliant. Because trolling for lulz is so much more important than the real-world consequences of antagonizing people and losing elections. /s

Just as I thought.

Canada, like the United States, is mostly conservative.

Our perception of both has been distorted by election fraud which makes it seem like liberals are capable of winning elections.
