Oh I never said we aren't going to use our economic might to do it. We will take control of these areas (never should have given away the Panama Canal) without firing a single shot.
Talk about Canada is just Trump trolling to divert the media to another shiny object and keep them guessing. It’s quite effective actually.
This isn’t governance, though, and I remain far more concerned with the people willing to blindly support the idea than Trump saying it. Trump says something absurd or bombastic twelve times a day. But if the response to him “trolling” Canada is to say “Gee, Mr. President, that sure is a swell idea you have here” that’s still a problem with your movement.
