I think it's more likely this is going to be used as more pretext for cancelling trade deals
Invading canada would go so incredibly poorly for the US, it'd be political suicide for Trump.
The fastest way to end your political career for right wingers is get troops killed, unironically.
A big part of what triggered the left swing after bush was troops dying in Iraq, it's the biggest way to nuke your popularity amongst right wing nutobs.
My main concern would be that Trump et al are drinking their own kool-aid and genuinely think they'd be "welcomed as liberators" if they invaded Canada. They've certainly made it sound that way, talking about how awesome it'd be for us as their "cherished" 51st state, with all that great American healthcare and whatnot.
The invasion would turn brutally bloody instantly, but some of that blood would be Canadian so I'd rather not get to that point.
I'd rather not as well.
But I deeply doubt this will happen, that's not the gameplan here.
Trump is way more interested in money, invading canada isn't going to personally line his or belongs pockets.
This is more about trade deals.
