What do you mean "IF" ?? There is no IF He just hasn't figured out how to succeed and get away with it. As soon as he has the answer to that..........
I'd bet a significant enough chunk of the US military is against annexation and would resist orders to invade. Canada and US have basically been brothers in arms for 100+ years, thats a hard culture to throw away for no real threat. The average US infantry is not going to feel like they are fighting for freedom by annexing Canada.
Plenty of the US military seems to adore Trump whatever he proposes.
Canadian polls are rising too.
Don't discount the effect of propaganda, and of decision makers in Washington drinking some of their own kool-aid.
Do you have a link to the Canadian polls? I'm looking on my own but I'm an analyst by both trade and inclination and I'd like to see that data.
They won't have a source because it isn't true. We overwhelmingly reject any notion of joining the US, and that feeling has only hardened in the last few weeks. Trump — and the lack of anybody stopping him — have destroyed 100 years of friendship. https://angusreid.org/trump-tariffs-canada-retaliation-usa/

That is rapid.
It's what happens when a population has at least a moderate amount of critical thinking skills and awareness of current affairs.
Saw it here, as new as January: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movements_for_the_annexation_of_Canada_to_the_United_States#Opinion_polling
Seems some newer polls may not follow this trend, thankfully: https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/article/large-majority-of-canadians-reject-trumps-annexation-overtures-poll-suggests/
As for general American sentiment on Trump, I don't know if most Americans approve of annexation, but that may not matter if they approve in general: https://www.axios.com/2025/03/16/trump-high-dems-low-new-poll

Propaganda is a helluva drug.
To be clear, I support your assertion that people, even Canadians, can be convinced of such malarkey.
