As Canadians head to the polls on a much-anticipated election day, Trump posted on Truth Social urging Canadians to elect a prime minister who will make Canada the 51st American state, promising a host of benefits if such a deal were made.
“Elect the man who has the strength and wisdom to cut your taxes in half, increase your military power, for free, to the highest level in the World, have your Car, Steel, Aluminum, Lumber, Energy, and all other businesses, QUADRUPLE in size, WITH ZERO TARIFFS OR TAXES, if Canada becomes the cherished 51st. State of the United States of America,” said Trump.
