Canada will have to explain to convicted felon Donald Trump what fertilizer is, among other things. But it also needs to understand that Donald Trump wanted Canada to be the 51st state because he has already made the United States Russia’s 47th oblast, and he wants to give Putin control of ALL of the real estate around the north Polar Sea. That’s also why Trump wants Greenland.
Compares Canada's position to the US and makes unsubstantiated claims about Trump's geopolitical motives without evidence.
