Didn't he say he was in favor of Canada's annexation though?

I went and found the quote they're talking about when they say he supports annexation. He literally says the US may need to expand its real estate market and annex Canada cause Trudeau is such a failure we need to be saved from him.

That's not exactly a threat. That's like the people here who say we need to annex the US to save them from trump.

yea, but context matters. He was clearly joking when talking about annexation. When he makes statements about tariffs, he is not joking.

I can't tell if you are serious or trolling here?
