My theory as to why Trump, in his simplistic little mind, is openly lusting for fantasies of taking over Canada [View all]
Total Square Miles of United States: 3,809,525
Total Square Miles of Canada: 3,855,103
Total Square Miles of Canada and United States combined: 7,664,628
Adding Greenland at 836,330 would bring that number to 8,500,958
Total Square Miles of Russia (currently the largest country on earth in terms of landmass): 6,592,850
As a real estate man, Trump is obsessed with size. The bigger, the better. The biggest, the best. Remember how he bragged on 9-11 about how his building was supposedly the tallest in Lower Manhattan?
In his simple little lizard brain, being President over the largest country on earth would be another boost for his ego.
Plus it allows him to keep up with the Putins, so to speak. Give him some extra bragging rights in that club.
Mind you, I seriously doubt it will ever happen. Hopefully it won't, at least.
But he's a simple, predictable guy, and I have to wonder if this is what's driving him--at least in part.
