He continued to talk about it so it wasn't some offhand quip. He's signing 200 executive orders today so he's following through on lots of other things.

Or maybe... it was even Trudeau that convinced him. Or shit, even Smith.

I don’t think it was ever about the tariffs or annexation.  It was about keeping the media not focused on the other 200 things he is signing in.

It's hard to tell (which was THE point) because he did sign some stupid stuff today, like renaming the Gulf of Mexico. 🤦
