President Donald J. Trump has always thought of himself as one of America’s greatest men. His father or someone else he greatly respected probably told him so. He lied, cheated, or bought his way to where he is today. Even as President he cons people into buying his company stock or soon his private crypto currency saving all the money to his family company.
He believes, and his sycophants tell him, he is the best President ever. They have even talked about Mt. Rushmore again. They compare him to some of history’s greatest men to curry even more favor.
He is using Wilson’s and Roosevelt’s failed attempts to get Greenland so if he can coerce the people of Greenland into becoming an American State, he will be greater than both of them. He says he doesn’t want to use force but doesn’t rule it out.
With Panama, a few ultra conservatives thought we should have overridden the lease termination and kept it. He is going to use every threat to get it or as a last resort force. The act, which may will lead to war, and probably the loss of the canal, as well as the last of our few remaining friends. The canal is easily put out of operation.
Annexing Canada is an old, old dream by a few people but doing so, Trump thinks would make him the greatest ever. History seems to define the greatest presidents as ones that won a war or acquired more area. Some of those Presidents are Jefferson’s Louisiana Purchase, Polk with the Oregon Territory and the Canadian Boundary, Tyler annexing Texas, and Polk goading Mexico into attacking to get the Southwest.
Imagine Trump’s ego if he got the Canal, Greenland, and Canada, no matter what he did to make it happen.
