The fists flew when Team USA faced off against Canada on Saturday night, and the war of words continued. Now, President Trump is weighing in.
In a Thursday post on Truth Social, Trump not only once again suggested that Canada should become the “51st State,” he even invited “Governor Trudeau” to watch the game with him.
“I’ll be calling our GREAT American Hockey Team this morning to spur them on towards victory tonight against Canada, which with FAR LOWER TAXES AND MUCH STRONGER SECURITY, will someday, maybe soon, become our cherished, and very important, Fifty First State,” the future president of Canada wrote.
Trump added, “But we will all be watching, and if Governor Trudeau would like to join us, he would be most welcome.”
Canadian fans in Montreal booed the American anthem before Team USA’s 3-1 victory over their northern neighbors. The booing, amid other provocations, sparked a raucous opening after the puck drop as three fights erupted in the first nine seconds.

“I think there was a little bit of a political flare to it,” Team USA coach Bill Guerin said of the political backdrop of the booing. “It’s just the time that we’re in.”
Canada and the U.S. will play for the 4 Nations Face-Off championship on Thursday at 8 PM EST.

If USA wins, it will be ignored. If USA loses, it will be tied to Trump by the media and called “TRUMP LOSES” or “CANADA HUMILIATES TRUMP”, etc.
Moot point. USA will win.
POTUS Trump is the Troll-a-Matic 5000. Sissy boy Trudeau has no idea how to respond or deal with this. If he had a pair, he would invite President Trump up North to watch the game live, and maybe talk some business. Trudeau is probably planning to watch the Hallmark channel with the other girls instead.
