‘Deadly serious’: NYT reports Trump told Canada he wants to ‘revise’ our border lines
The New York Times is reporting that the Canadian government is taking President Donald Trump’s threats to make it America’s “51st state” incredibly seriously based on a phone call Trump had last month with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
During the call, the Times’ sources say, Trump “told Mr. Trudeau that he did not believe that the treaty that demarcates the border between the two countries was valid and that he wants to revise the boundary” and he also “mentioned revisiting the sharing of lakes and rivers between the two nations, which is regulated by a number of treaties.”
I’ve been saying for years that what the US REALLY wants is Canada’s water ……. what we are witnessing today is the “Art of the Deal” underway as Trump sets the bar high (entire country = 51st state) but will be a major victory if he “just” settles for Canada’s water (to start with). Really — Trump is NOT stupid — why in the world would he want to turn a country ruled by a whacko communist / socialist coalition into a US voting block??
