"This is a time to roll up our sleeves…to organize, to mobilize, and to stay engaged for the sake of freedom and justice and the future that we all know we can build together. Many people feel like we are entering a dark time. But only when it is dark enough can you see the stars. Let us fill the sky with the light of a brilliant, brilliant billion of stars. The light of optimism, of faith, of truth and service. And may that work guide us even in the face of setbacks toward the extraordinary promise of the United States of America. "

Day 37: January 6, 2025
The 51st State
Unlike four years prior, the peaceful transfer of power occurred efficiently and quickly on Capitol Hill with the official counting of the electoral ballots, and the Vice President’s declaration that Donald Trump gained a majority.
Apparently never satisfied with a normal moment, Trump used the day to once again cast his eyes up North, declaring that “Many people in Canada LOVE being the 51st state.” He then touted all the ways Canada would benefit from merging into the United States:
"Many people in Canada LOVE being the 51st State. The United States can no longer suffer the massive Trade Deficits and Subsidies that Canada needs to stay afloat. Justin Trudeau knew this, and resigned. If Canada merged with the U.S., there would be no Tariffs, taxes would go way down, and they would be TOTALLY SECURE from the threat of the Russian and Chinese Ships that are constantly surrounding them. Together, what a great Nation it would be!!!"
Meanwhile, Don Jr. is traveling to Greenland, following weeks of his father publicly saying they too should become part of the United States.
