straight artificial line. Somebody did it a long time ago, many, many decades ago. And it makes no sense,” he said.
“It’s so perfect as a great and cherished state. Keeping, oh, Canada, the national anthem. I love it. I think it’s great. Keep it. But it’ll be for the state. One of our greatest states. Maybe our greatest state. But why should we subsidize another country for $200 billion?” the president said.
“Of course, there’s $200 billion a year. And again, we don’t need their lumber. We don’t need their energy. We have more than they do. We don’t need anything. We don’t need their cars. I’d much rather make the cars here. And there’s not a thing that we need. Now, there’ll be a little disruption, but it won’t be very long. But they need us. We really don’t need them. And we have to do this. I’m sorry. We have to do this,” he said.
He also took a swipe at one of his most famous rivals, actress and comedian Rosie O’Donnell, who recently moved to Ireland.
When a reporter asked Irish Prime Minister Martin why he permitted the American comedian to move to the country, Trump quickly responded.
“Ireland is known for very happy, fun-loving people,” a reporter noted to Martin at the White House.
“Why in the world would you let Rosie O’Donnell move to Ireland?” the reporter asked. “I think she is going to lower your happiness.”
Before Martin could answer, Trump jumped in and responded, “That’s true, I like that question. Do you know you have Rosie O’Donnell? Do you know who she is? You’re better off not knowing.”
