Altermante headline, as found on CNN’s home page: Trump considers US expansion.
The contents of the article are nothing new. I’m posting this to show a prime example of two things: The mainstream media’s painting of coverage favorable to Trump in order to avoid his wrath and the political and legal retribution that comes with it, and the media’s sanewashing and normalizing of Trump’s ramblings.
Wanting to take Panama by force, trade Puerto Rico for Greenland in order to get rid of the brown people, and threatening to annex Canada in order to piss off Trudeau isn’t “teasing” or “considering US expansion”. It’s the inane ramblings of a dementia patient off their meds, and should be being treated by the media about as seriously as saying he’s going to use Space Force to take Jupiter back from King George Jetson. The only proper response to this should be to pat him on the head and tell him it’s OK as they quietly escort him back to his room.
Also we all know Trump isn’t going to do shit. He constantly says crazy shit that has no hope of ever becoming a reality all the time. The only thing that should be making headlines at this point are things he’s actually done, not just rambled about one time in a brain fart.
Family separation. Selling out the Kurds. Sabotaging the national covid response so he and his cronies could extract some money, at the cost of over half a million American lives. Insurrection.

Teasing? Considering? He was pretty straightforward about saying they must be brought under US control.
You may be underestimating the value of Canada and Greenland to Putin.
