Surrey, all of Mississauga, all of Scarborough, all of Quebec (they've been spoiled too long, easier to wipe the slate clean)
Just exclude GTA and GVA. Make them into Free Cities of America with no citizenship or representations. Quebec will fit nicely with Americans though. They have the same attitude. Just not the same competitiveness.
 
He seems intent to throw political hand grenades everywhere, anyone that will come after him aiming to undo his actions will have their work cut out for them. There is no use predicting what the results of the 2026 and 2026 elections will be right now but Trump evidently has great ambition and as always wants to shake up the status quo but this time compared to his first term he seems far more energetic about achieving his goals. If he succeeds he will achieve recognition only few other Presidents can match but if he fails he could be vilified for ages to come.
I think the reason why he feels more enegrativ is because for the last 4 years he and his supporters were perescrutted and called nazis by everyone, so now that he is back in power, he realizes its time to give them why they deserve
 
Trump should push for the California state split up too since it'd completely fuck their 55 electoral votes up.
California's government will never consent to breaking itself apart which is what needed for the legal procedure to create new states out of existing ones. There is another path that has precedent in American jurisprudence though, however it's not really liked for reasons that will become obvious when you look into it.
 
is 1000 pages in a dozen days unprecedented?

high quality 1000 pages to, when president Vance finishes annexing Mexico and strengthening the Canadian states integration he should move to preserve important works like this thread in the library of congress

Going to make @Fatpacks sign the bottom of it like Hancock

The hand grenades are part of his strategy that hasn't changed since he laid it all to bare in his book 'The Art of the Deal'. He never negotiates from a position of strength and always sets himself up with leverage down the line.

If Mexico want the tariffs removed, then he wants a wall building, for example. Or Canada needs to open up a route to the Northern seas for ships and trade. America has never had a President like Trump, because he's a businessman, not a politician.


The core issue isn't us being tied to too many nations, it's that our "friends" need to work a little harder on their friendship. We have been footing the bill for decades already to ungrateful allies and Trump is here to collect their dues. He tried this his first term but they just laughed him out of the room, so this term he is back with a vengeance.
You're tied to too many nations, you say it yourself here. Your 'friends' are numerous and taking collective little bites - that are bigger than they could be, at the detriment to America.
Trump doesn't want an isolated America, he wants an industrious America that is the undisputed indusrial, economic, cultural, and military leader in the whole world. He wants an America that is respected and not one that the whole world mooches off of.
The way to achieve that is to be isolationist. Tsung Tzu states that "a country divided must unite. A country united must divide". In current year, the country is a borderless hells cape known as 'the west'.
An event is coming, be it a financial collapse that we're over-due for, a multi-nation war or just mass civil unrest similar to the fall of the Soviet Union. The only way to protect yourself from this is to isolate and let the world burn down around you. Japan saved itself by turning isolationist.

There are little to no negatives to America rolling up the shutters and telling the world to eat shit. The only negatives will be on the rest of the world, and with that in mind, Trump has the ultimate bargaining chip, which he won't use while he's in a position of strength.
 
Trump wants the Panama Canal and I am assuming he wants to have a long stretch of US territory throughout central America to connect it to the mainland.
I think he just wants cheap transit to offset the cost of tariffs. It's also a pride thing, love him or hate him Trump genuinely hates when America is disrespected or taken advantage of.
 
I genuinelly cannot believe they picked david hogg. This would be like the reps picking ethan ralph or dick masterson. It's so batshit that I find it worrying.
The DNC has five vice-chairs. David Hogg is only in his early to mid twenties so perhaps there is someone or some group of people wanting to groom him into the guy that will totally get the youth vote for the Democrats every election.
 
Ideally he doesn't pull a 2018 and simp for niggers again.
that was all his daughter's doing, Ivanka was the golden child and after how she fucked up his reelection campagin he basically disowned her. thats why Don Jr was so influential in picking the VP and even Baron was giving him show recommendations
The problem with conquering Mexico isn't winning the war, it's that what you win is a land full of Mexicans.
while you're right, the mexican states on the border have a shitload of ports or gold and copper and silver mines and shit like that. like there's a fuck load of resources there. and most of the population is basically white. they also are the most conservative parts of mexico and so getting them would be like getting extra texans.
There is no land in Mexico worth taking
sonora has tons of gold and copper they mine every year. is gold not worth anything now? and then chihuahua has tons of silver, plus mexico was stupid enough to put most of their factories there too.
 
You know what I find funny? Foreigners have been crying for decades that US should stop putting their nose in everyone's business, stop being the world police, and leave other countries alone. Now here we are, at the cusp of them getting what they want and now they're screaming bloody murder and demanding that we stay. Hilarious really.

Lefties: stop being the world police America, stop interfering in other countries business
America: ok we are going to revoke all funding for foreign countries
Lefties: no not like that.
 
Never understood why Trump is considered a lolcow by some of the fine people in the farms. If a once beloved millionaire playboy two-time president who's currently the main protagonist of the world right now is a lolcow, then the rest of the world must be a lolbull
He could be a lolcow for picking a traitorous snake like Pence alone.
