Canada should ‘move on’ from Trump’s 51st state remarks, says Pete Hoekstra

'Easier ways to send messages' to Trump than bringing in the King: U.S. ambassador | CBC News

The new U.S. ambassador to Canada says he knows the implication of King Charles III’s upcoming trip to Ottawa is to push back on U.S. President Donald Trump’s 51st state threats — and he says there are “easier ways to send messages” to the American government.

“Move on. If the Canadians want to keep talking about it — that’s their business. I’m not talking about it; Donald Trump is not talking about it. We’ve got too much on our plate to move forward because we’re all about increasing America’s prosperity, safety and security.”

It’s been like three weeks at most since trump has said something about it:

Donald Trump sends election message to Canadians: "cherished 51st State"

"No more artificially drawn line from many years ago. Look how beautiful this land mass would be. Free access with NO BORDER."

This is like when a douchebag gets shot down and then immediately starts insulting the poor women he accosted and playing the victim like he didn’t just start bothering someone to start the whole interaction.

They tried to influence canda’s election, it backfired spectacularly, and now they want to pretend it’s ancient history.

Think he’ll eat crow when Trump brings it up again in the next couple of days? My prediction: "If CANADA wants in on my GOLDEN DOME they can become the 51st state. It’s a GREAT DEAL for them. Free military which frankly they’re already getting. They’re ROBBING US BLIND and they want our dome too. I don’t know why they’re so against it. They can be part of the greatest country. It wasn’t the greatest, not under Sleepy Joe but poor guy was being abused, and now it is again. It’s the greatest and we’ll have the best dome and they can be the 51st state if they want it. "
