Yeah, that’s the hilarious thing. If Trump really wanted Canada under his thumb all he’d have to do was literally nothing. If he’d just shut up about Canada and waited then we’d have elected a right-wing stooge who would’ve sold us out for a nickel.

People keep trying to justify Trump’s actions as some kind of convoluted master plan (either his own or Putin’s) but really, he’s just an idiot, and the only reason why he’s been successful is because he lives in a nation of craven cowards who refuse to stand up to him.
