      I really don’t think it’s any deeper than “me good king, make kingdom bigger.”

        Yup, same shit as Putin. The only measure of the Tsar is how much land they can add to the kingdom during their reign, and Trump is OBSESSED with this idea that he’s a master negotiator. Negotiating the purchase of an entire sovereign nation would be the masterstroke.

      Because you’re the Austria to our Germany. Historically independent but allied with a long shared history. And seeing as he wishes he could grow a toothbrush mustache…

      Didn’t you know Canada is part of North America? And we are the united States of America… Therefore Canada must be a state …and unite with us

      It’s a catchy phrase for his legion of ignorant sycophants to chant while it taps out their final remaining lead-damaged brain cell.

      It’s distraction from all the other garbage he is doing. There is zero chance of it happening without a war that very few Americans would support.

        You all seem apathetic at the moment… if he tried to start a war now, he’d probably succeed due to lack of internal resistance.
