I love Canada. I love the people of Canada. I love\u2014I have many friends in Canada. The great one, Wayne Gretzky, the great\u2014hey, how good is Wayne Gretzky? He\u2019s the great one,\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut we have\u2014I know many people from Canada that are good friends of mine. But, you know, the United States can\u2019t subsidize a country for $200 billion a year. We don\u2019t need their cars. We don\u2019t need their energy. We don\u2019t need their lumber. We don\u2019t need anything that they\u2014that they give,\u201d he insisted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do it because we want to be helpful, but it comes a point when you just can\u2019t do that. You have to run your own country. And to be honest with you, Canada only works as a state. It doesn\u2019t\u2014we don\u2019t need anything they have. As a state, it would be one of the great states anyway. This would be the most incredible country visually. If you look at a map, they drew an artificial line right through it between Canada and the U.S. Just a straight artificial line. Somebody did it a long time ago, many, many decades ago. And it makes no sense,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s so perfect as a great and cherished state. Keeping, oh, Canada, the national anthem. I love it. I think it\u2019s great. Keep it. But it\u2019ll be for the state. One of our greatest states. Maybe our greatest state. But why should we subsidize another country for $200 billion?\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, there\u2019s $200 billion a year. And again, we don\u2019t need their lumber. We don\u2019t need their energy. We have more than they do. We don\u2019t need anything. We don\u2019t need their cars. I\u2019d much rather make the cars here. And there\u2019s not a thing that we need. Now, there\u2019ll be a little disruption, but it won\u2019t be very long. But they need us. We really don\u2019t need them. And we have to do this. I\u2019m sorry. We have to do this,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He also took a swipe at one of his most famous rivals, actress and comedian Rosie O\u2019Donnell, who recently moved to Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>When a reporter asked Irish Prime Minister Martin why he permitted the American comedian to move to the country, Trump quickly responded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIreland is known for very happy, fun-loving people,\u201d a reporter noted to Martin at the White House.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy in the world would you let Rosie O\u2019Donnell move to Ireland?\u201d the reporter asked. \u201cI think she is going to lower your happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before Martin could answer, Trump jumped in and responded, \u201cThat\u2019s true, I like that question. Do you know you have Rosie O\u2019Donnell? Do you know who she is? You\u2019re better off not knowing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump appeared momentarily stunned after a reporter\u2019s boom mic made contact with his face while he was answering questions from the press at Joint Base&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7440","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"a3_pvc":{"activated":false,"total_views":0,"today_views":0},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
