In a bold and syrupy declaration, President Donald Trump took to TRUTH Social to revive his long-standing proposal of welcoming Canada as the 51st state of America. Speaking from an undisclosed location that surely served a twist of maple syrup with breakfast, Trump emphasized that the only condition for Canada’s acceptance would be a promise to eliminate all tariffs on the beloved Canadian delicacy. "We pay hundreds of Billions of Dollars to SUBSIDIZE Canada. Why? There is no reason,” Trump trumpeted, momentarily forgetting about the shared healthcare system and polite Canadian politeness. “We don’t need anything they have. We have unlimited Energy. We have unlimited... what was it again? Oh right, we’ve got unlimited ego!” In his latest political masterpiece, Trump painted a picture of Canada joining the U.S. as an economic and culinary threat. “If they want to join us, they better come with a treaty guaranteeing no maple syrup tariffs. I will not rest until that sticky sweetness is free-flowing across the border!” exclaimed the president, seemingly waking up from a syrup-induced daydream. His remarks were met with a mix of laughter, shock, and bewildered confusion from both sides of the border. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reportedly responded by taking an extra long sip from his Tim Hortons coffee. “Maybe we’ll just stick to being polite neighbors,” he quipped, dodging the sticky situation. “Plus, we like having our own national identity — even if it does come cloaked in plaid.” In typical Trumpian fashion, the former reality TV star also waxed poetic about Canada’s natural beauty, suggesting that alongside the Beaver State, Canada could pick up the title of “The Maple State.” When asked whether he had any plans to run for Prime Minister of Canada, Trump laughed. “Why would I? I could just build a wall made of pancakes around Canada! Now that’s a border I would love to call home!” Political pundits are reportedly gearing up for a heated debate over the issue of loyalty to the one dollar bill versus the loonie. “It’ll only get messy if we start talking about hockey,” warned one analyst, “because you know the Canadians are just going to bring up their Superior Gold Medal performance from 2010.” Through all the chaos, one thing is clear: the idea of Canada becoming America’s 51st state may not just be a pipe dream, especially if it comes with a side of free maple syrup. As citizens on both sides of the border braced for potential change, they couldn’t help but wonder if a new flag would feature a giant maple leaf along with an eagle ready to take flight — provided it could find out where the ‘eh’ went in the national language.
