Donald Trump's Fake Imperialism
Briefly

The article explores Donald Trump's potential ambitions regarding U.S. territory and his unpredictable approach to foreign policy. While speculations around acquiring Greenland or considering Canada as a state arise, it highlights Trump's isolationist stance and concerns regarding his temperament, especially in international affairs. The author contrasts Trump’s approach with a more aggressive expansionist ideology and suggests that there might be some advantage in his lack of ambitions for new territories, which could potentially avoid needless conflicts or military interventions, reflecting a complex interplay of thoughts on nationalism and international relations.
Trump's potential ambition for territory is uncertain, with isolationism as a primary disposition; it's a relief he’s not a more expansionist leader, considering historical precedents.
The prospect of Trump attempting to secure Greenland symbolizes how absurd border-control fixation could become, drawing parallels with international tensions and military interventions.
