The Imperial Presidency

Trudeau caught on a "hot mike" saying that he thinks the threat to turn Canada into the 51st state is completely serious.

In remarks caught on tape by The Toronto Star, Trudeau suggested the president is keenly aware of Canada’s vast mineral resources. “I suggest that not only does the Trump administration know how many critical minerals we have but that may be even why they keep talking about absorbing us and making us the 51st state,” Trudeau said.

Y'know, when most rich people want something, they negotiate to buy it, not take it by force.
