Agreed. We have a base in Greenland already. Hasn’t it been there since World War II? If we want additional military presence, I’m sure that can be negotiated.
And what is the goal with Greenland? Does Trump want to make Greenland an American territory?
Canada as the 51st state is something that just will not happen. It seems pointless to talk about it, even in joking.
Ego.
Make America look bigger on a map.
Score an easy "win," however meaningless, to distract from more pressing problems.
Trump is wrong on this. And for saying so, I will be called a leftist.
I agree... enough already! I don't want two more liberal Senators nor Congress critters. And I *definitely* don't want to absorb Canada's crappy "free" healthcare system with its insane waitlists.
One example of MANY: A Canadian friend of ours has a wife (who is probably 65-70). She has been waiting nearly a year for knee replacement surgery in the Montreal area. She is living in constant pain and her gait is getting worse while she "waits" for the government to approve the scheduling of her surgery.
I'm in that same age group and recently had knee replacement surgery. I simply chose a date, and it was done. NO waiting.
It's absolutely appalling what goes on in Canada and other countries with "free" government-run healthcare. Sounds like a third-world country to me. I thank God every day I was born in the United States of America.

But it was so much fun to call Trudeau a governor.
