Do Trump supporters want to make Canada the 51st state?

Rebel News asked ‘AmericaFest’ attendees on Trump annexing Canada, and if Canadians are right to be offended.

President-elect Donald Trump continues to taunt Trudeau, calling him the governor to the “Great State of Canada.” 

The social media post follows a joke he cracked during dinner with Trudeau, where he teased Canada becoming the 51st state following ruinous tariffs.

On November 25, Trump threatened Canada with 25% tariffs for failing to address its porous borders for years in any meaningful way. Despite negative reactions from some Canadians and their leaders, Trump continued to joke about annexing Canada.

Instead of taking Trump's border concerns seriously, Trudeau complained about Americans not electing Kamala Harris as president.

The president-elect then posted an AI-generated image on Truth Social, of himself standing atop a mountain with a Canadian flag flying, with the caption “Oh Canada.”

At Turning Point USA’s annual ‘AmericaFest’ conservative convention, Rebel News asked American attendees how they felt about Trump’s comments, and if Canadians are right to be offended by them.

    Bruce, bad people do harm.
    A Canadian citizen has the right under Canadian law to;
    Defend themselves and the lives of others with as much force as “reasonably necessary” up to and including the use of lethal force. The tools of self defence are irrelevant for the preservation of life. Education, strong morals, training, along with an education system building a society from the ground up is what is required. What Canadians have is a “systemic” system of ignorance, fear and abuse from the top down and all perpetrated by government and foreign abuse for many years; Canada is long past due to make/hold politicians criminally accountable for their orchestrated harms, lies and manipulation of Canadians.

    If I am not correct in this someone please join the conversation to correct me.

    One bad thing is America would end up with more Democrats if Canada became the 51th state. What I’d like is the right to own firearms.
