This is What Obeying in Advance Looks Like

Monday night, CNN ran the ridiculous headline: “Trump considers US expansion.” As if that wasn’t bad enough, the subtitle was: “If he's serious, a territorial expansion into Panama, Greenland, and Canada would rival the Louisiana Purchase.”

None of this is serious—especially not Trump. Canada isn’t becoming our 51st state. Greenland is not for sale. And the Panama Canal isn’t going to be taken back from Panama. Period.

It’s not just CNN. The NY Times said: “Trump’s Wish to Control Greenland and Panama Canal: Not a Joke This Time.” AP, Reuters, Forbes, NBC, and so many others posted stories that made it seem like it was actually a possibility.

Give me a break. All this does is weaken America on the world stage, and it shows Trump to be the clueless, petty bully he is.

Mexico is advancing and we are declining. Our press would be wise to start reporting more about other countries. It would give these news outlets a more balanced perspective.

The NYT seems to be operating in the shadow of Trump and MAGA.

... at the point of a bayonet and the firing of guns. Djt is just repeating history,.. how can anyone fault that ?
Besides Putie is doing it with Ukraine. Why can't the U.S. follow suit ?

Plunder, capture, and pilfer - the AmeriKKKan way.
