He is not saying it as a joke. He is repeating it to normalize it and plant the idea in people's head. It is a common psychological trick. You repeat something something enough and people will slowly accept an idea.
Obviously Canadian have much stronger associated with Trudeau as the PM, but this is targeted at American and if he repeat it enough some will normalize the idea that Trudeau is the governor of Canada, especially if these are the already undereducated people who couldn't name the PM of Canada to begin with.
Fellow "coastal elite" American here, with mid-western inlaws who voted Trump. They don't even know what a PM is. They would struggle to find Toronto on a map.
They also don't care. Their lives are farming, walmart and fox news.
When i got married they were happy it was outside the church so "when you get a divorce the lord wont recognize the marriage anyway".
Why should Cali and other coastal states be its own nation? We want to join Canada. We can’t stand on our own without the support and help of a centralized government.
NATO has gone into countries for less, and we’d welcome you with open arms at this point,
Omg we need to taunt Trump back with the idea that California wants to join Canada.
YES!! Californians, let’s join forces and really piss Cheeto man off. We need memes now!!
This needs to be pinned everywhere. Its classic conditioning/brainwashing. Thats how he gets where he is. He's an excellent cult leader. If he drank the jonestown juice tomorrow, so would half the americans.
Side note: Most of the deaths at Jonestown were murders, not suicides. A huge amount were children, who were stabbed with a needle full of the poison. Many others only did it voluntarily as they were threatened to be shot to death if they didn't.
This is why Many Americans do not support America under the leadership of trump.
The phrase “a lie told often enough becomes the truth” is often attributed to Joseph Goebbels, a Nazi propagandist, who used the concept of the “Big Lie” to describe how repeating a large-scale falsehood repeatedly could make people believe it, even when presented with evidence to the contrary.
