U.S. President Donald Trump says the Conservatives were performing well in the polls in Canada before he “got involved,” and he challenged the notion the country would vote Democrat if it were to become the 51st state.

“Just a little while ago, before I got involved and totally changed the election … the Conservative was leading against, I call him Governor Trudeau. The Conservative was leading by 35 points,” Trump told reporters in the White House on March 21.
