Donald Trump had a uncommon factor occur Tuesday: Someone advised him no to his face.
It occurred when he welcomed Canada’s new prime minister, Mark Carney, within the Oval Office after months of creating hints and threats about our northern neighbor turning into America’s 51st state ― regardless of no curiosity from Canadians.
The topic got here up in the course of the assembly after the president was requested about his needs to convey Canada into the U.S. as a state, and he responded, “I still believe that, but it takes two to tango.”
Although Trump advised the press he thought Canadians would profit from being Americans, he appeared most obsessive about the concept that the form of the United States could be extra aesthetically pleasing if there wasn’t that straight line dividing the 2 international locations.
“I’m a real estate developer at heart. … I’m a very artistic person,” Trump mentioned, whereas claiming Canadians would pay “tremendously lower taxes” and have “free military” protections.
But Carney appeared resistant to Trump’s pitch and insisted “there are some places that are never for sale,” and used the White House and Buckingham Palace as examples.
Carney then declared that Canada is “not for sale,” “won’t be for sale, ever” and that “the opportunity is in the partnership and what we can build together.”
As you possibly can see within the video beneath, Trump didn’t appear to know tips on how to react to somebody disagreeing with him to his face (which, to be honest, is comprehensible, contemplating the sycophantic conduct of his underlings).
Instead, he slumped his shoulders earlier than giving a smirk to Carney’s rationalization of how he sees the longer term Canada-U.S. relationship.
The president’s first remark after Carney’s line-in-the-sand remarks was a mumbled “That’s good,” and finally “Never say never” about Canada turning into a state.
To nobody’s shock, the alternate goes viral on social media and ― guess what! ― folks had ideas.
