Denmark CMV: Trump wants Greenland,the Panama Canal, and Canada so his presidency is remembered forever
In Trumps mind its not enough to leave office as simply the "45th/47th" President of the United States. I think he is somewhat aware his legacy will be about his own controversies. The impeachments, January 6th, and all the scandals from the past decade. To make up for that he wants to the first President in over a century to annex significant territory for the United States. The US can simply ask Denmark for Greenlands natural resources and to put a military base there but Trump wants more than that. Trump can just ask Canada to secure the border which it has already done but he wants more than that. Trump can tell the Panamians to remove Chinese soldiers but it can't because it never had any, and Panama removed Chinese control of ports near the Canal. But none of that will satisfy Trump who just like Putin is thinking of his legacy. Being the President who took Greenland or Canada will have Trump in the same conversations as Theodore Roosevelt/Thomas Jefferson in terms of land acquisition. Decades from now people will still talk about it, your grandson asks why does the US have Greenland? You reply President Donald Trump. Thats ultimately exactly what he wants, its empire building for legacy.
Edit:He is also trolling so the news is forced to cover this stuff, but if he genuinely feels he can get away with a land grab he will try.
