TRUMP: Canada 51st state is a real thing; Diff 45th vs 47th; Not let deficit with Mexico of $350B!
Fox News anchor Bret Baier interviewed President Trump, covering Canada 51st state claim, the 45th vs 47th presidency difference, tariffs, Mexico deficit, and DOGE. On Canada: “Yeah, it is. I think Canada would be much better off being a 51st state because we lose $200 billion a year with Canada, and I’m not going to let that happen.” Trump: “If they’re a 51st state, how am I doing it?” On country unity: “We have to come together, but to come together, there’s only one thing that’s going to do it, and that’s massive success. Success will bring the country together.” On 45th vs 47th difference: “Well, with the 45th, I had tremendous opposition, but I didn’t know people and I didn’t have the kind of support that I needed. I put people in office, some great, some really great ones, but I had some that I wouldn’t have put. I would have known better if it were a couple of years later. I was a New York person, not a DC person.” On inaugurations: “I looked on the stage for the recent inauguration and I’m looking at like a who’s who of Washington. Well, if you look on the stage for the first one, it was just the opposite.” On trade deficits: “We owe $36 trillion. That’s because we let all these nations take advantage of us. Same thing like $200 billion with Canada. We owe $300 billion. We have a deficit with Mexico of $350 billion. I’m not going to let that happen.” On judge restricting Musk Treasury access: “I disagree with it 100%. I think it’s crazy.” On DOGE next targets: “I’m going to tell him very soon, like maybe in 24 hours, to go check the Department of Education. Then I’m going to go to the military. Let’s check the military. We’re going to find billions, hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and abuse.”
