51st State?

Lately, there's been some (actually, a lot of) debate about Canada becoming an American state. The POTUS clearly wants to inflate, with little or no debate, the number of U.S. states, as if that'll make America great. But, Mr. President... I have a better idea that'll go in accordance with your inflated sense of self-importance. Instead of annexing Canada, amigo, the 51st state should be your big ego! And, as states go (forgive me if this sounds alarmist), if Congress approves, it'll be at least the fifth-largest.

I've always wished that the USA would make Mexico an American state and clean it up, but who wants that headache lol. Canada, I can see why he wants it! Beautiful. Enjoyed! ~I Am Anaya

But what he doesn't know is that the vast majority of Canadians are moderate voters. If Canada's 10 provinces each became a state, then the Republicans would NEVER hold power again! Glad you enjoyed. Take care.

You don't sound like an alarmist to me, Jim. Voices like yours are giving warning that far too many are ignoring. I wish he'd want to take Siberia and then go live there.

If not Siberia, then there are a few other options of where he could go, including one that is rather infernal - if you catch my drift!
