That’s not a satisfactory answer to my question. That’s what I said I didn’t want. I don’t like trump either. That doesn’t answer my question.
As an example if I asked “why is that school over there on fire” and you answered “we don’t fund schools enough”
I mean… Yeah … I agree… But even if it’s the “end of the day” reason it’s not providing the information I’m looking for. Compared to something like " the oven In the kitchen was old and got too hot, the kitchen was understaffed so no one noticed in time, and the sprinklers hadn’t been inspected in years so the fire spread. So it’s a funding issue "
The arctic drilling rights that come attached to Greenland are worth trillions
Control of Panama ensures American trade continues if shit hits the fact over tariffs and a trade war (it’s an American weak point that could be used as leverage if America don’t control it). Not that there’s going to be a trade war. But talking shit about it like you’re preparing for it is all part of the tactic.
But also all of this is nonsense designed for two reasons i) Trump’s negotiation tactic is based on the “Madman theory” which was also popular with Nixon. Basically make your opponent think you’re unhinged and crazy and they’re less inclined to call your bluff and you’re more likely to achieve your goals in the compromise. and ii) he doesn’t want anyone to be thinking or talking about the fact he’s getting sentenced on 10th January
It is a political question and therefore impossible to not awnser political
Trump wants to create a country in which the wealth of the nation is neither dependent on imports from other countries nor on the skilled workers within the nation
Why would you want that? Because setting up a more authoritarian government, where the government tells you what values, religions, and sexual orientation are acceptable is easier if neither your people nor other more liberal countries can stop you.
How would you achieve that? See Russia, have little complex labor and more simple or automated production. And rely on natural resources like gas and oil. Annex countries that have oil and gas but no strong military. I would assume both Canada and Greenland have gas reservoirs that are not used out if fears for environmental drawbacks. Trump could than use the fas without having to deal with disasters in his original borders
Assuming Trump acts logical, this annexation would help his goal while the negative relationships would not affect him strongly after he achieved it.
Or he just wants it because they said no, and he doesn’t realize how much global relationships affect even countries that would prefer to ignore them
This is where I am different from the other people with negative views on trump. I don’t think hes stupid. I’m a salesman. I’m good at sales. I used to like trump because he’s a great salesman. There are things we could discuss about his age and mental health but I’m not a Doctor. I’m a salesman.
With that being said… Hes not able to do all that you described there. Theoretically he could if he surrounded himself with talented people and trusted their opinions.
That’s where trump lost me a few years back. He’s a salesman, that’s a skill for sure, it doesn’t make you great at everything and he doesn’t seem to respect the opinions of others… So no team available to make good plans…
He can’t do that stuff. He can make a mess and get people to support that mess. A master plan is beyond him. Not because he’s stupid but because he fell for his own sales pitch. He’s a salesman. Like me .
Destroying the US’s relationships with key allies is the reason putin put him in charge.
