Trump is so incredibly dumb.

This talk is about Canada being 51st state is dumb.

Canada has provinces which is comparable to a state.

It will never happen.

Canada does not want our for-profit healthcare system of medical bankruptcies and insurer death panels.
Many times the insurer makes life and death decisions on what treatment they will pay for.
Sometimes they make the wrong decision.
Sometimes the decision is not a medical decision but a financial one.

Plus, Trump would lose his majorities in House and Senate if there was a such merger.
