I can "take it seriously" without letting it affect my mental space. All I am advocating for is for people to not get worked up about it. This kind of talk is not out of the realm of normal for Trump. He did the same thing with Greenland last time he was in office. What happened? Nothing.
Nearly everything he is doing now is similar to what he did last time. He massively destabilized the international balance last time he was in office as well and we all survived. I am sure we will again.

Yes, you are not taking it seriously. You admit this (I bolded it for you).
He is serious. This isn't a joke.
I also think that people hoping for a "rise up" are absolutely kidding themselves. And people thinking NATO or Europe will defend us havent been there in a few years. People in Europe are scared as #### about Russia. They don't have time to worry about us getting invaded by an even scarier enemy that they are relying on for protection. There will be cries of anger, but I think they will be limited by the reality of the geopolitical situation we are in.
This is a trade situation. Taiwan, Ukraine, Canada and the resources therein are being treated as bargaining chips. Canada is probably the richest prize, and it is being offered to the biggest player.
