Trump floats claims for Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal (1 Viewer)

[superchuck500]

Oh, but he's only joking - well, maybe, so they say. Or sort of joking with Canada, and maybe not joking with Greenland - saying that "ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity" doesn't sound like a joke . . . and um, not sure about what the about Panama Canal thing is?

What is his actual point? Just to distract from the losses in the stock market over the last 30-50 days? Distract from his criminal activities?

He looks like an idiot here with this crap.

Just about everything in this world is for sale if offered enough money. That is a fact. People are still bought and sold in this world, you need to learn to deal in reality. I don’t know what not being part of North America has anything to do with it.

The problem is that Trump approaches these things like a mafia boss. He attempts intimidation, rather than respectful inquiry. We could float interest, but no American president should claim that is a necessity. If it were truly a necessity, that would justify force, which it seems to suggest. International borders must be respected.
