    • He seems to really want to be the president that makes the 51st state. He mentions it a lot.
    • Greenland is going to have a lot of power and probably be able to make a lot of money when arctic melt opens up the northwest passage to shipping in 10ish years, especially from the oil tankers leaving the arctic drill sites they want to “drill baby, drill.”
    • Trump has always hated that we honored our agreements with Panama and gave up control of the canal. His advisors also know that climate change is going to force Panama to allow fewer and fewer ships, but MAGA has no qualms about using every last drop of their drinking water so long as shipping is unaffected.
    • There seems to be a growing drum beat to invade another country. Time to place bets on who our Poland will be.

      Puerto Rico is right there.

      District of Columbia too.

        He hates Puerto Rico. And no republican supports making DC a state because it’d vote very firmly blue and they’d lose the senate for probably at least 6 years, until the next super R favorable cycle comes up again.
