The buying Canada ‘jokes’ from U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s supporters continue, this time from one of his sons.

In a post on X, Eric Trump shared a fake photo of his father purchasing Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal on Amazon.

Eric, age 40, is the third child and second son of Donald Trump and ex-wife Ivana Trump, who passed in 2022.

Re-elected in November, Trump has referred to Canada as the “51st state” a few times and made jabs about buying the country.

He also called PM Justin Trudeau the “governor” of Canada.

Trump’s threats of 25 per cent tariffs against Canada — and Mexico — have been a hot political topic lately, particularly regarding how best to deal with the incoming U.S. federal government.

The Trudeau government recently unveiled a $1.3 billion spending package over six years to address border security concerns and the flow of illegal drugs into the U.S.

Donald Trump will be sworn into presidential office on Jan. 20.
