I guess it's all part of the new MAGA style guide, which includes "downsizing the US government" instead of "dismantling the US government.".

"because of its significance to U.S. national security and its vast, untapped natural resources" is ridiculous. Trump just saw how big Greenland looked on a mercator map and wanted his own USSR-sized empire to rule as a king. Just like his pal Vlad! "Do you like me now?" The "Canada as 51st state" was part of the fantasy from the "stabel jenius."

He wants to rebuild/enlarge alcatraz because of a movie he watched the night before.

His "deals" are consistent failures, but are predictable.

"Stop the ukraine war in one day" consisted of giving russia everything it wanted and, when ukraine balked, walked away leaving putin emboldened.

"Stop the Israel/Palestine war" consisted of giving bibi everything he wanted and, when Palestinians balked, walked away leaving bibi emboldened.

Any one of us could go on and on, so I'll just stop now and get some lunch.
