Is he serious? Trump stirs unease with Panama, Greenland ploys

Donald Trump has threatened to seize the Panama Canal, revived calls to buy Greenland and joked about annexing Canada — leaving the world guessing once again whether he is serious or not.

By challenging the sovereignty of some of Washington's closest allies four weeks before he even returns to the Oval Office, the US-president elect has underscored his credentials as global disruptor-in-chief.

His comments have renewed fears from his first term that Trump will end up being harsher on US friends than he is on adversaries like Russia and China.

But there are also suspicions that billionaire tycoon Trump is looking for leverage as part of the "art of the deal" — and that the former reality television star is grabbing headlines to look strong at home and abroad.

He's a moron

He says and does stupid things all of the time. I believe if he spoke of anything realistically, or not a lie, he'd burst into flames.

He likes adversity, he feeds it to people to engage in chaos. Watch what he does, or attempts to do therein lies the mission he's on.
