Our friends on the Left think they’ve caught President Trump in a monumental gaffe over this tweet stating that Wisconsin is a border state:
Canada has made business for our dairy farmers in Wisconsin and other border states very difficult. We will not stand for this. Watch!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 25, 2017
While it’s true that Wisconsin does not share a geographic border with Canada, they do have customs offices because the state borders Lake Superior which borders Canada:
To be clear I'm not saying Trump is really wrong to call Wisconsin a border state. They do have Customs offices because of the lake.

By the way, this is the same for Illinois and Indiana.
Anyway, this isn’t stopping the “front-row kids”from doing their thing as they think this is one of the more important issues of the day that absolutely nobody gives a crap about except them:

Things Trump DIDN'T do in his first 100 days:

Tensions along the Canada-Wisconsin border very high now. Armed forces on both sides digging in. https://t.co/0emyDr5U7j

Not to beat a dead horse, but this is why Trump won.
