Cunning threats made by a bully so the weak-willed will be gracious that he takes less than he threatens.

He hasn’t ruled out using military force to seize Panama and Greenland.
Is it true that the U.S. spends billions keeping Canada safe (and from what?)

I suspect he’s banging on about NATO again.
My personal favourite miscomprehension of his is that the trade deficit between the US and Canada means that the US is subsidizing Canada. Like LOL, no.
To be fair, Seward (the same guy who bought Alaska from Russia) also wanted to buy Greenland, Canada, and a bunch of other stuff. It was never on the table but that’s how the Yanquis are. They did already steal a third of Mexico.

The mistake people make is believing any of this is a misapprehension.
He is presenting and promoting PR talking points that are not brain farts.
This is a campaign of/by a particular American ideology’s agenda and it’s not going away anytime soon.
Also true: he has stated more than once that he would say a totally crazy thing every day to keep the news cycle focused on talking about him.
By 2027 or 2028 astute observers may begin to notice Canada bearing more than.a passing resemblance to Belarus.
Anyway, that’s how I’m placing my bets.

Likely. And also part of the new cold war with China. When the ice melts, what seems like useless northern territory will be valuable shipping lanes and mining areas. He always demands more than he wants. Instead of taking those places over, he’ll settle for them being squarely in his sphere of influence. No Chinese mining in Greenland, no Chinese shipping through Panama canal, etc.

And the MSM happily obliges, as it generates them clicks and ad revenue.

While the non-mainstream media happily ignores Trump because it has no interest in clicks and revenue (ad or otherwise)?
