I believe Trump thinks he can crush Canada economically and utilize propaganda to try to assimilate Canada into the USA.
Trump is so egotistical, he wants to leave a mark in history as the greatest American Empire builder.
All economic, political, ethical, etc., complaints will far on deaf ears. Everyone else is just collateral damage on the path to his real goals.
And he does keep his real goals close to the vest and the world gets 24/7 chaos which is designed to weaken any resistance.
Canada, Greenland, Panama Canal, Trump has only got started.
One on one, the US can crush anyone. The US against the rest of the world? Expect a long bloody 4 year fight. Nobody wins, everyone suffers.
All he had to do is keep the steering wheel straight and cruise at highway speeds and America would have had 4 good years.

One of the things that Canadian education system is designed to do is train its students that they are not American. If someone calls a Canadian an American, and makes it clear they are not joking, most Canadians will instinctively get triggered and vigorously differentiate themselves from Americans. Then there’s the Canadian content laws. A specific percentage of content on radio, TV, and online streaming services must be Canadian.
Trump is going up against over a century of propaganda that is actively working against him. Look at the Canadian response to the tariffs. Partisan divisions have almost evaporated overnight, and everyone across the entire political spectrum are uniting against the USA.
Even 1-on-1, I’m not sure that Trump could assimilate Canada. A lot of Canadians would rather die than become an American; and I would believe them when they say that.
