Canadian MP shoots down Trump offer: 'Sexual abusers don't get to lead our nation'

Canadian MP Charlie Angus responded to President-elect Donald Trump's proposal to make Canada the 51st U.S. state by noting that existing laws prevent "sexual abusers" from leading his nation.

In a Monday post on his Truth Social platform, Trump claimed that many "people in Canada LOVE being the 51st State."

"The United States can no longer suffer the massive Trade Deficits and Subsidies that Canada needs to stay afloat," he continued. "If Canada merged with the U.S., there would be no Tariffs, taxes would go way down, and they would be TOTALLY SECURE from the threat of the Russian and Chinese Ships that are constantly surrounding them. Together, what a great Nation it would be!!!"

Writing on the Blue Sky social media network, Angus politely declined the invitation.

"Canada has something called democracy," the MP explained. "It means the leader is accountable to Parliament and can be replaced."

"I bet Americans wish they had that now," he added. "And convicted sexual abusers don't get to lead our nation. We're decent folk."

Trump was not faced, or been convicted of, criminal charges of sexual abuse, but a jury found him liable for it at a civil trial.

Dear Donald Canada has something called democracy. It means the leader is accountable to Parliament and can be replaced I bet Americans wish they had that now. And convicted sexual abusers don't get to lead our nation. We're decent folk Ps. Button up. We're sending frigid cold your way. love Canada
