Of course it is. See allowing Putin to take Ukraine, Bibi and his extermination of Palestinians, and the 99% chance China takes Taiwan. Let's not forget that the territorial expansion isn't limited to Trump, just that he will be the only one who fails.
He will let China “have” Taiwan, let Russia “take” Ukraine , and he’ll try to wrangle Panama …. With foreign approval, of course. It will be interesting to see who kicks whose ass first.
Wait wait wait... we were assured that Trump was the isolationist candidate who would keep
us out of foreign entanglements. Do you mean to tell me that was a lie? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!
His handlers are giving him bones to gnaw on in the corner, what do you think they're hiding from him? I wonder why he was silent whilst elon scissor hands was threatening congress?
Good point. Although part of it is Trump's "talent" for providing the media with shiny objects to chase after to distract from the bad press the near-government shutdown was giving him.
He really does have dementia. He thinks everything is his for the taking. He's on the world stage but they are watching a circus and Trump is the biggest clown in the show.
I thought they wanted to do better with what they have. It's similar to creating more government to shrink government. Right wing talking points use to be believable.
Ike was the last decent repub. Goldwater, horrendous. Nixon, say no more. Gerry Ford? 🙄 Reagan? Two words, wealth inequality. Bush and w? Feh. And then 45. Garbage.
Reagan's the guy who came up with the "trickle-down" theory; didn't work then, and most certainly doesn't work now; Like the Former (& soon to be present) Guy's $7.8 trillion increase to our national debt.
That’s the concept of “Greater lsrael”. Fully supported by Democrats. Remember Tim Walz raving about the “expansion of lsrael” in the disastrous campaign?
We have 2 right wing parties in the United States. Dont play dumb now.
To be followed by a 21st century version of The Trail of Tears a/k/a mass deportations, or as @cnn.com might frame it, federal assistance with a permanent vacay to their homelands. The creature-elect knows no shame, nor does @cnn.com
He will do this to make his pathetic followers feel powerful and so he can steal resources but I feel right now it's a distraction from gutting SS, Medicare, Medicaid and all social services. We have to stay focused and fight one battle at a time.
Thanks for sharing. I am familiar with Yarvin and Opus Dei but had never read it put together this way. Jeez we're screwed. We need a Justice League to counter their Legion of Doom.
The oligarchy doesn’t care about Panama, Greenland. They use this to distract the press while they loot the nation. Hayes, ODonnell, etc learned nothing from his first term. Or, if you follow the money, they may be in on it.
All Canada would have to do is say free Canadian citizenship for any Americans who fight against Trump and he would not only lose Canada but also at least 40% of America
If he'd make it easy for my family to visit, I'd start taking conversationalist French lessons tonight. I'm only a handful of hours' drive from Canada right now.
It’s not all bad. Great barbecue and 79° on Christmas Eve (Happy Holidays, BTW). But Greg Abbot, Ted Cruz, and Ken Paxton are an ungodly trifecta of all that is wrong with this country.
Canada: The French hate the English, the English hate the Indians, and everyone there is on a 6 month waiting list for surgery. Yeah, no that would be a bad idea.
You think there'd be enough compliance in NE for the maple syrup flood to also engulf Maryland, or do you think it would end up being the equivalent to Ypres, due to its proximity to DC?
All the things that coming from trump mouth are beyound stupid immature and irresponsible makes me really angry that people choose somebody like that for president of our Country.
Hmmm, does he realize that taking over Panama increases our borders, and turns a bunch of Panamanians and temporary residents into American citizens? Unless he's intending to emulate a couple of other countries, and simply deport or kill all those who don't have a boatload of money stashed away. 🤔
Now would be a good time for Democratic Party leaders to issue and amplify the statement that the U.S. is not in the business of invading sovereign nations!
I think it might be time to impose travel restrictions on any and all people related to or in close contact with Donald "little hands" Trump. (Little hands as in, keep those little hands to yourself ya creep! Or, get your little hands off my country you insecure megalomaniac!)
He's doing the same shit that he did the last time with Greenland. Though the first time around he didn't want to invade Mexico or Canada. Invading Panama has been done already, remember Bush I and General Noriega?
Going off of what the US military did to Noriega, which was blast rock music let’s camp out the White House and shifts after January 20 and blast recordings of him saying God awful things so he has to hear it 24/7/365
He heard that Greenland has a giant ice cream machine the size of an apartment building, but they keep dumping all their ice cream into the Titanic Ocean.
Reminds me that, in college, a fellow history student, from Canada, was opining endlessly on the superiority of Canada to the US (he was right, but I wasn't going to just let him win!), & I chanted "54-40 of Fight!" & he was so incandescent with rage that it shut him up. So, win for me, I thought.
Probably not - we weren't 21 yet, and I think a bunch of us history majors were in the Quad discussing politics. It probably wouldn't have gotten so heated had we been relaxing with a brew, though
MEGALOMANIAC: “someone who has an unnaturally strong wish for power & control, or thinks that they are much more important & powerful than they really are.”- Cambridge Dictionary. Remind you of anyone?🤔
The imperialist wannabe king TrumpEnstein monster was resurrected by MAGA's GOP & feels more emboldened to steal other countries. This is a direct order from Putin to destroy America's NATO alliances & weaken America.
I hope our military stands up against fascist traitors, VP-Trump & Prez- Elona!!
So much for neo isolationism. Donald thinks treaties are just agreements between national leaders. Therefore, new leaders can have new treaties. Slava Ukraine.
How else can he try to explain why he's giving Ukraine to Putin? His moronic base and his complicit media will spin it all on territorial expansion. Makes sense,doesn't it?
No, it is not. Just look at who Trump believes are good leaders. Putin invading Ukraine, Jinping looking for excuse to invade Taiwan, which is in all consideration what Trump is trying to give him with his nonsense of invading Canada and Mexico. And we think the world is dangerous now, wait for it.
Don't you go whitewashing the language of rogue terroristic actions against allies and treaties. It's GD warmongering of century old allies, and it's absolutely disgusting.
Anyone care to venture a guess as to how many "executive orders" will be signed in the first week of fascism? I think there will be so many the press won't be able to keep up.
"Next time a Republican tells you that ‘Social Security is broke,’ remind them that Pres. Bush ‘borrowed’ $1.37 trillion of Social Security surplus revenue to pay for his tax cuts for the rich and his war in Iraq and never paid it back.”
No Chris. The incompetent kleptocrat is setting you up to be distracted with nothing burger issues. Then, he’ll steal and plunder and hurtle us to a new pandemic, while you sit there shocked, gobsmacked and unaware. You have learned Nothing!
He looked at a map, saw how big it looked, asked someone to tell him what country it was, and decided he would grab it by the PITI; whether they liked it or not.
Trump talks to a lot of people who have their own agendas, and sometimes he hears something which promises to make him even more grandiose or to attract more attention (many of those other people know just how to play him).
Isn’t ‘territorial expansion’ just a polite way of saying ‘military invasion’? After all wasn’t Putin going in to Ukraine part of his ‘territorial expansion’ plan? These are sovereign countries he’s talking about taking over. Stop sane-washing this stuff!
It doesn't exactly jive with the protectionist/isolationist vibe of a 𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘭 populist right wing.🤷
This is 𝘯𝘰𝘵 normal because t*u*p has 𝘻𝘦𝘳𝘰 political leanings, he just makes 💩 up as he goes.
I've always wanted to see right/left politics shaken to the core but 𝘯𝘰𝘵 at the expense of democracy itself!
We can't handle what we have now? Immigration would be interesting. Just think he would like the laws of the US applied to certain countries because of their policies.

WWIII shouldn't be far ahead if Trump keep taking us in that direction.

Take care of our own while we take over others?
Nothing means what they want us to think it means.
Though my favorite part of that is that said fight killed a pig and then we settled on a line south of there.
I hope our military stands up against fascist traitors, VP-Trump & Prez- Elona!!
2. Well, they voted in a transactional President. What did they THINK he would do???
3. No, it doesn't mean he just wants open borders.
4. If he respected a country's borders, he wouldn't be countenancing handing Ukraine over to Putin.
We are bringing you Freedom In The World.

I disagree, he’s not that smart.
He looked at a map, saw how big it looked, asked someone to tell him what country it was, and decided he would grab it by the PITI; whether they liked it or not.
