President-elect Donald Trump continued his trolling campaign against Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who announced Monday he would resign, suggesting the U.S. and Canada should merge, saying in a social media post it would no longer need U.S. help to “stay afloat.”

trump Sucks!
😢 Americans live in a fantasy land. Canada is so much better to live in than the US. Live ten years longer. We don't have the blatant continuous lies in our government, we've had 19 mass shootings in 40 years. The US has over 500 a year. I've never paid a cent for health care and I've had several operations and procedures. The brain washing is ridiculous.
I'm so tired of mainstream news and soccer moms using the old internet/gamer term "Troll/Trolling". Just shows you how far our established world has fallen to the maturity level of teenagers in COD lobbies from 2009.
US doesn't really want to annex Canada with whole bunch of tree huggers there. US just need a favorable trade deal and border security.
Trump, “With Canada at our side we can build an even bigger wall!” ✌️
Trump's blast radius is HUGE
The United States merging with Canada is partially a good thing. We will give Canada California, Oregon, Washington, and Minnesoda and we get the rest of Canada with the exception of the French part. The result that Canada will be more gay and the US will be great.
Melania still likes Trudeau!
America remembers Corporate Censored Medias attacks on our Freedom Caravans. America knows who the "enemy within" is, not MAGA, WOKE is the ENEMY WITHIN.
Yall could get your guns back. lol
Canada needs US help? What a joke from the orangeman
So, Trudeau is out of a job……BUT Donnie is still a CONVICTED FELON!
Although it's not going to happen, if it ever did, it would be better to have each province simply become a state rather than consider the entire country to become one huge state.
Anyone who says that Canada should be the 51st state is out of their minds. Each province would be its own new state, obviously.
Canadien needs to think over what made them to select Trudeau as the PM. Don’t make the mistake again
Canada minimum wage $17.30 per hour. US Minimum wage $7.25 per hour. The average annual healthcare premium in the US for a family group health plan was $23,968, or about $1,997 per month plus 30% copays, deductibles, and prescription cost. US healthcare cost leads to unaffordable medical bills, causing major financial distress and bankruptcy. A 2022 study found 66.5% bankruptcies are tied to medical expenses in the US.
Costs of having a baby will vary widely depending on your health insurance and even what state you're in, as well as how your delivery goes: (No insurance) Total average hospital bill for a regular birth: $30,000. (No insurance) Total average hospital bill with a c-section: $50,000.
Total debt: Canada's total debt is just over $1.1 trillion, while the U.S. debt is roughly $40 trillion in Canadian dollars. Federal deficit: In 2023, the U.S.'s federal deficit was almost 11 times larger than Canada's.
Canadian teachers are generally well-trained, well-paid, and have good job security. Elementary schools Canada $93 700 CAD. Elementary teachers in the US public schools average salary $58,230.
Look at the little twists Forbes still puts on the story. This is why nobody trust you anymore
there is credible allegations that the Indian Government got Trudeau to resign. wow!
Eh ni talda, Canada nu Merica naal viah ke hi hatu 😂
Stupid Trump, Canada is much better and safer than US
What ? They dont like Trudeau. Wonders never cease. 😁
Trump is reminding us that our American neighbours are our "friends" only when it suits them.
If canada merges with usa i wouldn't be surprised if 90% or more of Canadians leave as well
Wow, a grown man wastes his time making a fool out of himself.
Even as Trudeau was giving his resignation speech, he continued to pass the buck and blame it this time on his finance Minister. In all fairness to Trump, Trudeau kissed his wife and snubbed his daughter, Ivanka, at some high level meeting in Trump's absence when Trudeau, himself, is just a small figure in his own father's shadow. Canada has no vision and is an easy butt for Trump's jokes. I think Putin (referred to Trudeau as an 'idiot' and a 'scoundrel' for honouring a Nazi war veteran in the House of Parliament in Ottawa), Xi (didn't appreciate Trudeau's leaking of private conversations that did not create 'grounds for diplomacy') and Modi (frustrated by Khalistan support in Canada that is tantamount to terrorism in India and probably shocked when Trudeau wouldn't leave the cocaine behind on his broken plane at a G20 meeting yanked all visas to Canadians) could all share in mocking this absolute blundering fool dodging accountability.
Once considered peacekeepers, Canadians have been reduced to second class global citizens who cannot obtain visas to India or even obtain a Chinese Huawei phone on a domestic 5G network due to protectionism although Chinese companies have already collaborated with Canadian universities and Trump is rightly mocking us about it and is well-positioned to capitalize on our weaknesses to redraft the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Trudeau was allegedly too busy whooping it up with the Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs, 'Honourable' Mélanie Joly, to formulate lucid foreign policies.
Trump obviously bumped his head taking the chrome off of president trumps booster rocket
Trudeau the joker
If Canada was a state it would be another California…the GOP would loose for a generation.
Canadians will never "merge" with US. Why would they want to destroy their phenomenal school systems, health care, and pristine natural resources? They have much lower rate of crime & poverty and they still think critically up North & their media isn't all propoganda. Capitalism always in search of new markets is No reason for Canadians to bow down. Their country has many advantages and I'm sure they'll choose another PM soon.
Why would Canada want to be part of the US. A report that ranks the best Countries for Quality of Life, Canada ranks #5 and USA ranks #22.
Report done US News & World Report in conjunction with the Wharton School at U of PA.
Yes that’s the Wharton School which Trump graduated from and claimed you had to be a “super genius” to graduate from Wharton.
All Trump is doing by trolling Trudeau about Canada becoming the 51st state is pissing off Canadians. It’s laughable 5 year old behaviour.
It’s a free market…no one is forcing US to trade with Canada. If Trump doesn’t like it…go elsewhere.
New name will be United States of Canada.
