In an apparent swipe at King Charles' symbolic show of solidarity with Canada, Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Tuesday to stoke the flames for unification with North America under the Stars and Stripes.
Trump declared: "I told Canada, which very much wants to be part of our fabulous Golden Dome System, that it will cost $61 Billion Dollars if they remain a separate, but unequal, Nation, but will cost ZERO DOLLARS if they become our cherished 51st State. They are considering the offer!".
The proclamation came just hours after King Charles had solemnly opened the Canadian Parliament, a move interpreted as a robust endorsement of the country's sovereignty amidst mounting U.S. influence.
The Royal couple's visit was fleeting yet laden with significance, marked by a grand ceremonial procession and an address merging diplomatic tact with sincere warmth.
Though the bulk of the King's half-hour speech was prepared by the Canadian government, Charles infused it with personal touchstones at the beginning and end, invoking an emotional tribute to Canada's identity and stature on the world stage.
"It is with a sense of deep pride and pleasure that my wife and I join you here today, as we witness Canadians coming together in a renewed sense of national pride, unity, and hope," Charles imparted.
"As I have said before, 'Every time I come to Canada... a little more of Canada seeps into my bloodstream – and from there straight to my heart.' I have always had the greatest admiration for Canada's unique identity."
Interpreted by many as a tacit endorsement of Canada's sovereignty, the King added, "Today, Canada faces another critical moment. Democracy, pluralism, the rule of law, self-determination, and freedom are values which Canadians hold dear, and ones which the Government is determined to protect."

It’s nonsense and detrimental to relations with Canada and frankly, by Trump beclowning himself, so to with any other country.
Advocating for Greenland as a US territory is quite in the US interest and N Atlantic stability.
There’s appropriate trolling and then there’s nonsense. Canada as the 51st is nonsense.
Canada should become the 51st State one way to get rid of socialized medicine and a few other bad things.
I can’t name how many people I’ve worked with that moved from Canada and glad of it.
I like Molson!
Ditto that.
Snooty ass Canuks have been looking down their noses at us for decades , bragging about their ‘’free health care’’ all the while being protected by the most powerful military on the planet.
F ‘em. Leave to their ‘’free health care’’.
My position is that we should charge Canada 20% tariffs while we'll charge 10% on Mexico.
Until Canada gets an attitude adjustment, then we can lower it to 10%.
Nobody sane wants Canada and its massive liberal mob of Toronto and Montreal added to our nation. I have heard a few insane people say they would like it for the oil and gas. I told them oil and gas was not worth two more Marxist’s senators and several house members.
Demands???
It would add a bunch of liberal senators and congressmen and voters.
Only Take Alberta to start. They are business oriented so maybe eventually moderate???
Deep States, plural, are really desperate, aren't they...
I know he is trolling them but we don’t want them. They are mostly on par with CA and NY, too liberal!
