Trump team says Canada, Greenland, Panama comments are part of a broader plan

1. In the weeks leading up to his second inauguration, President-elect Donald Trump has made provocative statements regarding U.S. foreign policy, including threats of trade wars with Canada and Mexico, aspirations to acquire Greenland, and suggestions of making Canada the 51st state. His “America First” strategy is marked by a confrontational approach towards both allies and adversaries, indicating a desire for territorial expansion and a departure from traditional diplomatic norms. Experts suggest that while Trump’s rhetoric may be intended as negotiation tactics, it risks provoking tensions and complicating international alliances, particularly with Canada and Panama, whose leaders have rejected his claims. Additionally, Trump’s focus on the Western Hemisphere and the appointment of Latin American experts signal a potential shift in U.S. foreign policy priorities, raising concerns about the possibility of military intervention in issues like drug trafficking. Overall, Trump’s approach reflects a significant departure from established U.S. foreign policy, emphasizing a more aggressive and unpredictable stance on the global stage.

2. World domination isn’t a plan… just see Pinky’s partner… could never take over the world.

3. I can’t stand trump but I really don’t care about Greenland, Canada, Panama Canal discussions. I’m more concerned with what he’s going do to our country. Women’s rights, healthcare, Social Security, medicare, etc

4. Mark my words! This blustering is a piece of an optics strategy so that Putin can point to the US as being hypocritical.

5. He thinks he can negotiate more favorable terms for US shipping with Panama by threatening them. I don’t know if it will work or how far he’s willing to go with it. He may sail a fleet down to carry out war games near the canal to pressure them into some kind of deal. But it could backfire and push Panama closer to China.

6. WOHOOO!! WAY TO GO! HOOORAY!!!

7. Wonder who might have come up with that particular plan, that benefits Putin specifically. I’m sure it was Mr PersonWomanManCameraTv and not a lifelong KGB agent trying to harm democracy to achieve strategic objectives in Ukraine.

8. The Plan: say a bunch of crazy shit, so that he can maybe get half of it.

9. a broader plan of distraction while he does the really evil shit.
