Not even president yet, Trump is apparently angling to enter history books as The Great American Acquisitor when it comes to territories.
He has his appetite set on a number of dishes.
Keeping to the culinary metaphors:
Appetizer: The Panama Canal. Here he is using as an excuse “the outrageous fees” the Canal authority is charging American shipping using the Canal has to pay!
Main Course: Canada. The oblique “humorous” references to Canada and to PM Trudeau as “Governor” could be seen as a fair indicator!
(Though anyone trying to digest Trudeau would surely suffer sever digestive ailments!)
Dessert: Greenland. In his previous term of office he did try to acquire this part of Denmark.
Even going so far as invite him-self to make a State visit to Denmark, though when the Danish PM definitely said no-deal,
he got his knickers in an uproar,, and cancelled his non-invited visit!
It should be pointed out that in none of the three cases has any offers to sell, or become part of the United States of America, been made!
Then again, it just may be that Trump is simply being he living embodiment of the law of the jungle:
“When the Strong Dictate, the Weak Must Submit!”
