Republican Rep. Chuck Kopp of Alaska, which shares a border with the Yukon and is separated from the contiguous U.S. by Canada, says the state doesn’t support the president’s trade war and annexation bid against Canada.

He has proposed a joint resolution in the state legislature that would affirm Canada’s sovereignty and recognize the enduring, centuries-old ties between Alaska and Canada.

This isn't because they disagree with Trump. It is because they are absolutely fucked if they don't pretend to be on side with Canada because the only land option for travel comes through our country and mostly via one route through BC.

Alaska is a Republican state, and overwhelmingly voted for Trump knowing this was the plan. One doesn't get to come crying to Canada when the Polar bears start eating faces after voting in favor of Polar Bears eating faces.

The better option is get your shit together and oust the "President" you let fuck everything up before it comes to real blows because if bullets start flying all Americans become enemies including and especially the camp who for some stupid reason believe it isn't their fault this happened too.

Trump didn't mention annexing Canada before being elected. He does refer to himself as "fucking crazy" and says he's the same now as he was in the first grade, though... The Alaskans only voted for him expecting a general shitshow, not a specifically anti-Canadian-sovereignty shitshow! 😑

Trump was running with US expansion as part of his election platform. I am not willing to forgive or ignore that level of willful ignorance, and you can go work for Trumps PR team officially if you want to keep running interference for him.

There was an offer to purchase Greenland during Trump's first term that was dismissed by most Americans as "Art of the Deal" buffoonery, but I can't find any reference to Panama or Canada delusions before the election. Please correct me if I'm wrong... I'm by no means attempting to "run interference" for the narcissist-in-chief and have been warning my fellow Americans since the PATRIOT Act that giving the executive branch sweeping new powers "because terrorism" would be abused within our lifetimes. PotUS is supposed to be administrator of federal employees, not a goddamn dictator.

"Donald Trump, the current president of the United States since 2025, has proposed various plans and ideas in the lead-up to and since his second inauguration that would expand the United States' political influence and territory"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_expansionism_under_Donald_Trump

Where did you and the rest of the ignoramus' in your country believe expansion would take place if not Mexican and Canadian borders?

I'm sorry that you have more in common with Donald Trump than you care to admit.
