DONALD Trump has declared February 9 the first ever “Gulf of America Day” as he doubled down on his plans to make Canada’s the US’s 51st state, claiming his northern neighbour would be “better off”.

The Presidents land grab idea plans have stepped up a notch as he confirmed Google Maps will change the basins name today, while flying over the same waters.

Trump signed the proclamation, on February 9, on what he called his “first visit to the Gulf of American since its renaming”, while flying to the Super Bowl in New Orleans.

The President signed an Executive Order on his inauguration day which renamed the basin.

As Trump signed the document one of his officials said: “The button was pushed, it became official with this proclamation to call today Gulf of America day but now it’s going out as we’re sitting here right now.

“Our team is calling all the map providers so, Google Maps, Apple Maps, all the map people. That change will take effect this afternoon.”

Trump’s fresh remarks on Canada came in response to Justin Trudeau’s hot mic blunder where he revealed his “real” fears over Canada being “annexed”.

Trump told claimed the US was losing billions of dollars each year to Canada, per Fox News.

The President said: “I think Canada would be much better off.

“We lose $200bn a year with Canada. And I’m not going to let that happen. It’s too much.”

Trump floated his shock takeover idea, which he proposed before his second inauguration, again.

He added: “Why are we paying $200bn a year essentially in subsidy to Canada? Now, if they are a 51st state, I don’t mind doing it.”

Trump continued to throw his support behind tech billionaire Elon Musk who he said would discover “fraud” across government departments.

The Tesla boss now runs the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) which aims to cut costs and bureaucracy.

He said: “I’m going to tell him very soon, like maybe in 24 hours, to go check the Department of Education. He’s going to find the same thing.”

“Then I’m going to go to the military, let’s check the military. We’re going to find billions, hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and abuse.

“And, you know, the people elected me on that.”
