Add Greenland to the US will add TWO SENATORS and ONE REPRESENTATIVE, most likely DEMOCRATS.

Add Canada to the US will add TWO SENATORS and 5 - 7 REPRESENTATIVES, most likely all DEMOCRATS.

Adding both Greenland and Canada to the US likely will add four Democratic Senators and 6 - 8 Democratic members of the House.

Does he really want to do that???
