Maggie Haberman characterized President-elect Trump's talk of annexing Canada as trolling, while acknowledging a serious approach to other foreign policy ideas, particularly acquiring Greenland.
Haberman highlighted that discussions about acquiring Greenland have existed for decades, emphasizing that Trump's current expansionist mindset is noteworthy and not completely unprecedented.
Trump's reference to Canada as the 51st state plays into a narrative of dominance, suggesting a trolling nature compared to his more serious foreign policy pursuits.
Haberman indicated that Trump's openness to military action for these foreign policy ambitions has surprised many, leaving uncertainty about the seriousness of his intentions.
