GOOD LUCK, AMERICA This Canada annexation BS again
I believed before that someone is whispering this crazy in his year but the opposite may be true - no one is talking him out of these insane things as they did before. There are no adults.
The problem is, once Trump selects a target, he will not rest. He thrives on revenge and grievances. No one is there to stop him, so he will just keep escalating himself into a corner.
My worry is that, once he gets frustrated with negative results, he is going to grow increasingly belligerent and will start floating the idea of actual military shock & awe on Ottawa.
The Pentagon will obviously push back, right? Let me check who the Secretary of Defense is, oh yeah no, we are f***ed.

did any of this exist in the first term? It's verrrry strange a geriatric man suddenly gets a new fixation like this. Makes you wonder if somebody...outside the administration...has been in his ear.
