This is What Obeying in Advance Looks Like [View all]

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.
