Emperor Trump: Coveting Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal is a dangerous game

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : The notion of buying Greenland, for example, reportedly first came from billionaire Ronald Lauder and was adopted as a pet project by Trump after the then-president saw a map and noted -- and we wish we were making this up -- that Greenland was very large.
40% : Well before Donald Trump takes the oath of office to begin his second term as president, the man is already spooking the global community with his obsession with making Canada a U.S. state, taking over the Panama Canal and purchasing Greenland from Denmark, all harebrained plots he's rolled out multiple times over the last couple of weeks.
40% : Every single time that U.S. diplomats or allies raise concerns or complaints over these expansionist designs, the despots will be able to point the finger at Trump and his insistence on growing our borders outwards.
32% : Beyond these territorial claims, Trump has also played fast and loose with national sovereignty in other ways, threatening for example to invade Mexico to fight drug cartels.
29% : We'll remind Trump and his followers and allies that he ran at least in part on the idea of stepping away from foreign wars and entanglements.
24% : Is Trump actually going to actually attempt to put these land grabs into practice?
23% : As goofy as Trump has made these ideas -- also posting on his social media site about "Governor" Justin Trudeau and using his trademark nonsensical syntax and grammar -- this is a manifestation of an outdated idea of territorial expansionism and imperialism.
