Traition

President-elect Trump announced at a news conference that he was going to acquire Greenland and the Panama canal. When asked if he would go as far as using military force to coerce the acquisition, he said if necessary – all my paraphrasing. Why does Trump have to bully our allies into doing something he wants? It’s a good way to lose friends and make enemies. Plus it gives Putin and Xi cover to do their own acquisitions: Ukraine and Taiwan. Trump needs to think through his ideas before announcing them.
