This isn't because they disagree with Trump. It is because they are absolutely fucked if they don't pretend to be on side with Canada because the only land option for travel comes through our country and mostly via one route through BC.
Alaska is a Republican state, and overwhelmingly voted for Trump knowing this was the plan. One doesn't get to come crying to Canada when the Polar bears start eating faces after voting in favor of Polar Bears eating faces.
The better option is get your shit together and oust the "President" you let fuck everything up before it comes to real blows because if bullets start flying all Americans become enemies including and especially the camp who for some stupid reason believe it isn't their fault this happened too.
And yet, a Republican openly opposing his supreme leader is pretty unusual these days. That's something most Democrats don't seem to be able to do currently.
Yeah, it goes to show just how desperate they must be.
Try reading before writing and have a second go at my original comment. I was even nice enough to spoon feed you the important bit that makes your point moot. :)
Came here to say something similar because it's important to recognise that this likely is not out of the kindness of their hearts. But I don't think there's any reason to talk down potential allies either.
American here, IMHO he's telling it like it is. Electoral college votes speak louder than resolutions. If Trump gets unpopular enough, then congress can remove him from office.
Trump started attacking Canada only after election win.
Trump was running with US expansion as part of his election platform. I am not willing to forgive or ignore that level of willful ignorance, and you can go work for Trumps PR team officially if you want to keep running interference for him.
Trump didn't mention annexing Canada before being elected. He does refer to himself as "fucking crazy" and says he's the same now as he was in the first grade, though... The Alaskans only voted for him expecting a general shitshow, not a specifically anti-Canadian-sovereignty shitshow! 😑

There was an offer to purchase Greenland during Trump's first term that was dismissed by most Americans as "Art of the Deal" buffoonery, but I can't find any reference to Panama or Canada delusions before the election. Please correct me if I'm wrong... I'm by no means attempting to "run interference" for the narcissist-in-chief and have been warning my fellow Americans since the PATRIOT Act that giving the executive branch sweeping new powers "because terrorism" would be abused within our lifetimes. PotUS is supposed to be administrator of federal employees, not a goddamn dictator.
"Donald Trump, the current president of the United States since 2025, has proposed various plans and ideas in the lead-up to and since his second inauguration that would expand the United States' political influence and territory"

Where did you and the rest of the ignoramus' in your country believe expansion would take place if not Mexican and Canadian borders?
