The comments by Trump are shocking, but at the same time I am surprised he doesn't speak more about the fact that the US has been bailing out Canada for decades with the defence of North America. Fact is our military has gone to shambles and no government has done anything about it, and the joke has always been 'oh the US will protect us.'
Really strange though that it isn't talked about by the US and people in the Trump administration, because they'd actually have a point.
Also, still don't see the economic benefit to the US of merging economies, the dollar, etc.
But, Trump isn't being realistic with this. So I guess I should be thinking illogically as well to see what on earth he is talking about.
The only true subsidy I see is on the military side. Everything else Canada is a massive benefit to the US because of the exchange rate and our natural resources.
