Trump cares about appearing to be a big, powerful man. This is an idiotic idea, but he can't admit to it being an idiotic idea directly.
However, let him think this would help Democrats and he then has a chance to look savvy by killing it, and we don't end up pushing this disastrous idea further.
He thinks it's a good idea but he has a problem. There's a substantial chunk of Maga that don't agree with his aggressive attacks on Canada. The annexation talk only began after the election.
