How Trump's Canada-bashing is influencing other Republicans' views
No one is shocked now when U.S. President Donald Trump calls Canada the "51st state" or refers to Prime Minister Mark Carney as a "governor."
But Trump's habit of occasionally targeting Canada with crude insults has become much more common among rank-and-file Republicans in recent weeks.
Professor of rhetoric at the University of Kansas Robert C. Rowland says that as Trump watches his poll numbers dragged down by controversial policies and an unpopular war with Iran, he searches for scapegoats — and often lands on Canada.
That's led some of the president's most devoted followers — including some in Congress — to express more negative views of Canada publicly.
Recent polling shows that while most Americans continue to hold positive opinions of Canada, Republicans are getting more skeptical about the relationship.
Gallup polling shows Canada's favourable rating among Republicans has fallen 23 points, from 85 per cent in 2025 to 62 per cent this year.

It appears that 38% of American Republicans are doing their utmost to adhere to the American government philosophy of "Stupid is as stupid does."
It's that same third that stick with Trump, right or wrong. Which I guess is the very definition of "Stupid is as stupid does".
Just saw another poll that put it at 34%..
CAnada, France and Spain send their thanks to the American government's concern about global warning. After all, stupid is as stupid does.
And while I'm at it, the parents of the kids who died from measles thank RFK Jr for his brilliant attitude about vaccines. After all, stupid is as stupid does.
The wire hanger manufacturers have already sent thanks to the SCotUS for their reversal of Roe vs Wade. After all, stupid is as stupid does.
And the people of Cuba.,.....need I continue?
The truth is hard to take, isn't it? Well, don't worry, you can always blame China.
"he searches for scapegoats — and often lands on Canada."

Maybe so, but you know damn well that he's going to try, and who knows, his SCotUS is apt to let him do it.

If Canada were to become a state they would almost certainly become a blue state wielding somewhere around 55 electoral votes.
Wishful thinking? Not bloody likely to happen.
No it's not. Not without a fight. Canadians like their healthcare too much but it does show how much Trump has thought this through.
Trump has thought this through? Trump thinks ANYTHING through (unless it means money to him)?
