    I agree - I guess what I am saying is that he can certainly put troops there and then claim he owns it.

    I hope he doesn't do that, but he is capable and could do that and it is even likely that he would get away with it. No one is going to push US troops out. There are of course diplomatic consequences but he doesn't care about those.

    Yeah but the US invading wouldn’t start a land grab by every country in the world? If China sees the US taking territory what do you think China will do in South Asia. Putin in the rest ex USSR territories. Africa would be a blood bath. Literally WW3.

    Trump occupying MelaniaLand would make it very difficult to justify standing up to other countries taking over territories. How can we take a hardline on Taiwan and China if we take Greenland and rename it MelaniaLand.

    Problem is we don’t want all those commie voters

    My guess is
    As is his MO
    Big ask and then agree to compromise…
    He wants the trade deficits fixed.

    So tariffs are a bargaining tool as well…

    Believe it or not and not to sounding arrogant but the US and to some lessor extent the Western countries have been the balance in the world without its power through NATO and the US military world war 3 would have already started. We are the deterrent to evil conquers of the world. If become one of them then the world is ****ed. It is what these followers of Trump can’t get through their skulls. They think it is funny

    According to all you lefty pant wetters, Trump never tells the truth anyway. Yet here ya are, hanging on his every word. It’s whipping you little girls into a frenzy.

    Trade deficits, not subsidies like Trump wrongfully claims them to be, occur when the demand for products and materials overweight the demand for Our products. Do you know why there is a trade deficit with Canada? It is not automobiles that make it. It the demand for energy and natural resources Canada has. Putting a tariff on them will make it more expensive for the average person in the north east. The demand for Canada’s fresh water, natural gas, oil and electric power will still exist. We are already seeing threats by Canadian politicians that they will do the same or refuse to sell them to the us.

    I can’t wait…
    Gloves off…
    He was hired to be a disrupter. To be Godzilla.

    The time of lefties stealing Americas productivity and giving it away for free and then calling us names if we object has ended.
    It’s over.

    They will try and block his every move but I think he has better people this time

    When you threaten other countries and comes from the soon to be president of the United States what do you think is the reaction to the outside world? Maybe you don’t care about the reputation of the US and its relations but the world does. Maybe you like more people around the world hating this country. I certainly don’t.

    You have no idea what you are talking about it do you? When it comes to trade with Canada. Your reply certainly indicates that.
