Trump: 'I'm really not trolling' with talk of Canada as 51st state [View all]

Yeah, we know.

The president sat down for an interview with Time Magazine, where a reporter suggested Trump may have been “trolling a little bit” with his repeated comments that Canada should be absorbed into the United States.

“Actually, no, I’m not,” Trump said in the interview, which was conducted Tuesday.

“I think Canada, what you said that, ‘Well, that one, I might be trolling.’ But I’m really not trolling,” Trump added. “Canada is an interesting case.”
