In what may be his most outlandish—and surprisingly cool—plan yet, Donald Trump has revealed the motivation for his audacious scheme to expand the United States’ borders by annexing Canada and Greenland. According to insiders, the underlying rationale is as unexpected as it is ambitious: a bold attempt to combat climate change by lowering America’s average temperature.
“Think about it,” Trump reportedly quipped while sporting a red parka at a press conference near the border. “With our current boundaries, it’s getting too hot. But with Canada and Greenland in the mix, our average temperature would drop—making America cooler, literally and figuratively. We’re not just making America great again; we’re making it cool again!”
Critics have been quick to point out that the logistical challenges of incorporating vast, frostbitten territories are as formidable as the challenges of halting global warming. Historical lessons—from Napoleon and Hitler’s icy misadventures in Russia to the grueling conditions in the Vietnam war—remind us that conquest is not a “mere matter of marching.” Still, the prospect of slashing temperatures has captured the imagination of climate skeptics and environmental enthusiasts alike.
Diplomatic experts warn that such a move might upset long-standing allies and disrupt trade in maple syrup and ice fishing charters, but Trump remains unfazed. “It’s a win-win,” he claimed. “We cool down the planet and make history simultaneously!”
Interestingly, Trump’s plan leaves out capturing the islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon, a victory the US Army may just be capable of achieving.
While many are laughing—and others shaking their heads—at what is undoubtedly an audacious April Fool’s joke, one thing is clear: this is a political stunt that even the polar bears might find chillingly humorous.
