President Donald Trump said he is not sure Canada would be a Democratic state if absorbed by the U.S., noting that conservatives had a strong lead in the polls before his trade war completely changed the race.
Speaking to press at the White House, Trump was asked if he was concerned about whether Canada would skew Democrat if it became the 51st state. "Is it liberal? Maybe, but you know, a conservative, until I got involved... I don't care who wins up there. Frankly it would do better with a liberal if you want to know the truth," Trump began.
