The left can’t take a joke, and neither can our neighbors up north! White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt set off a firestorm Thursday when she casually referred to Canada as America’s “soon-to-be 51st state” while discussing President Trump’s excitement for the upcoming USA-Canada hockey showdown.
Trump Rallies Team USA – And The Left Loses It
The big game is set for Saturday in Boston, where Team USA will take on Canada in the 4 Nations Face-Off final. Trump, never one to sit on the sidelines, personally called up the American players ahead of the match to fire them up.
“I know he talked to the USA hockey team this morning,” Leavitt told reporters. “He talked to the players after their morning practice around 10 o’clock, and I also spoke to some folks from that team after. They were jubilant over President Trump’s comments to the team.”
Apparently, the team was so pumped they plan to release a video of the call. With Trump in their corner, you can bet Team USA is ready to skate circles around Canada. But Leavitt’s next line was what really sent the pearl-clutchers into a frenzy:
“Trump looks forward to watching the game tonight, and we look forward to the United States beating our soon-to-be 51st state, Canada.”
Boom. Mic drop.
Canadian Fans Triggered – Start Booing U.S. Anthem
It didn’t take long for Canadians to prove Trump’s point. In a stunning display of sportsmanship (or lack thereof), fans in Toronto booed the U.S. national anthem during a previous USA-Canada match. Because that’s how you respond to a joke—by disrespecting the country that has defended you for decades.
“We knew it was going to happen,” said Team USA’s Zach Werenski. “It happened the last game, it’s been happening in the NHL before this, and we knew tonight was going to be the same way. We obviously don’t like it.”
Here’s a tip for Canada: If you don’t want to be trolled by Trump, maybe don’t act like such easy marks.
Trump’s “51st State” Line: A Running Gag That Keeps Winning
Let’s be real—Trump has been making jokes about Canada joining the U.S. for years, and it never fails to send the left into meltdown mode. The mere thought of Trump planting Old Glory in Ottawa is enough to make liberal heads explode. But in reality, it’s all part of Trump’s signature bravado—big, bold, and impossible to ignore.
And frankly, with Canada’s government embracing every woke policy in the book and drowning in socialism, it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world if America took over and cleaned up the mess. Maybe then they’d remember what free speech and real hockey dominance look like.
So, while Canadian fans boo the anthem and liberals hyperventilate, Team USA is gearing up for a fight. And with Trump’s backing, they’re not just playing to win—they’re playing to dominate.
God Bless America. And good luck, Canada. You’re gonna need it.
