    Canada is a state, just not a part of the United States. Why is this controversial?

    Edit: ah, I see. I glossed over the “governor” part.

      “Governor” is the title of the heads of the states of the USA, but not of the prime minister of Canada. He has - probably through stupidity rather than actual malice, not that he is lacking in the latter - basically described Canada as a state of the USA.

        Okay yeah, the “governor” part is wrong for sure.

        And I don’t doubt his combination of malice and incompetence.

      The governor general of Canada is Mary Simon. Trump clearly doesn’t understand what he’s saying.

        That’s because the orange asshole thought he was playing 4D chess when in fact he was playing checkers.

        Tell me you think he even knows the difference. /s

          It’s more like he’s the little brother with an unplugged controller. Then mom makes you let him play (hes voted into power) and he fucks up your save file.
