This is something I think gets lost in discussions a lot. The USA is massive and fragmented, the fragmentation being intentional with state individuality.

I remember a German family that thought they could easily do LA, Vegas, and the Grand Canyon in a couple of days.

This is the stupidest thing ever. If he really wants a 51st state then Puerto Rico is right there and wants to gain statehood.

I don’t see how he could. Too many people in the U.S. like Canada, the domestic support would be near nill.

Maybe if he had 6-10 more years to drum up support.
