'Not just trolling': Security analyst warns Trump no longer joking about taking Canada
"So I think we are all, in the beginning, thinking about this like this is just kind of the trolling, he's having a little fun, right?" Sanner continued. "But one of the things 👉 about President Trump is, when he repeats things over and over and over again, it becomes more real. And I think that in this case, it's not just about negotiating, it's not just about trolling. And I think that absolutely there will be more to come and more pressure. How serious this is is a different matter. But does he actually think it should be true? I think he does. I think he's convincing himself."
AND AMERICANS!

in reply to SnowshadowII • • •Absolutely! Trump is reportedly an admirer of William McKinley.
While in Congress future President . McKinley passed the McKinley Tariff, an attempt to force the annexation of Canada (it failed).
After he became president in 1896, McKinley was a proponent of expanding US territory & is responsible for adding Puerto Rico, the Philippines and Hawaii.
So yes, if I were in Canada I’d take trump’s threats VERY seriously.
