Reporter: Since you won’t rule out military force to take Panama Canal and Greenland, would you use military force to acquire Canada?

Trump: “No. Economic Force. Because Canada and the United States, that would really be something. You get rid of that artificially drawn line and take a look at what that looks like and it would also be much better for national security. You know don’t forget we basically protect Canada. But here’s the problem with Canada … I love the Canadian people, they’re great, but we’re spending hundreds of billions a year to protect it…”

This one is masterful. Tip of the cap. He keeps his name in the news for some relatively meaningless gesture. It's unlikely to alienate one of his voters and only going to annoy some liberals enough to complain about it but not enough to seriously push back against it.

And if enough people take the bait, it will become a real issue that Maga actually fights for while they distract people from lowering rich peoples' taxes and crushing unions.

Data centers produce no jobs. Electric battery plants do. And guess which one Trump wants.

Hey MAGA, you were had! He took advantage of you!

After he won the election, he doesn't get graded on politics any more. Alienating his supporters matters not at all.

The Emirate will get a big beautiful deal on the power they need from state regulators while the cost of power goes up for the magas trying to keep the lights on in their trailer. They make a lovely humming sound as well. That's the sound of winning .

Remember when Trump cultists claimed Trump would end all wars? I know they just meant to exclude military action by the USA to take other foreign territory by force. Hahahaha. Good times.

I've read repeatedly that Putin has been discussing with Trump a meeting to carve out spheres of influence in the world for Russia and the United States, and this sounds an awful lot like the kinds of actions that might come up in such discussions.
 


Still worked up about water-saving shower heads and other devices, I see.

"I, as you know, I ended that policy. I get[mumble] you can have all the water you want. It makes no difference [it comes?] especially in certain areas we have so much water we don't know what to do with it."
 

Trump Ratchets Up Campaign to Gain Control of Greenland, Panama Canal​

President-elect threatens to hit Denmark with high tariffs if officials there don’t cooperate with his bid for Greenland​


"...During Tuesday’s news conference, Trump threatened to hit Denmark with tariffs “at a very high level” if Danish officials don’t cooperate with his bid to take over Greenland. He also questioned whether Denmark has any legal right to control the territory.

“People really don’t even know if Denmark has any legal right to it, but if they do, they should give it up, because we need it for national security,” Trump said.

Trump and transition officials have offered no details on the president’s apparent plans for territorial expansion, and officials in Denmark, Greenland, Canada and Panama have so far rejected his entreaties.

The president-elect said he would consider using economic coercion to convince Canada to become part of the U.S., but he ruled out using military force. ..."
 
Cont'd

"...Trump’s national security team has had preliminary discussions about a process by which Trump would direct the State Department to undertake negotiations with the governments of Denmark and Greenland, according to people close to the transition. That could potentially happen through a Compacts of Free Association agreement—a financial assistance pact similar to what the U.S. currently has with several Pacific Island nations.

Trump’s advisers hope to launch potential negotiations once the president-elect takes office, the people said. The governments of Denmark and Greenland continue to publicly dismiss any discussion of a potential “sale” of Greenland. ..."
 


I admit I assumed this was too nuts for him and didn't even bother to check to see if Musk posted this when my husband asked if I had seen it.
