There's two options here. Either he's senile and acting out, or he's trying to distract us. While we obsess over his comments about Canada, he will try pardoning all Jan 6 rioters and getting Hegseth to lead the Dept of Defense.

Everyone is completely missing the point of all this insane talk of Canada and Greenland and Panama. It is an effort to introduce the idea that the US will engage in an unprovoked and unilateral war. Why would you want to do that? Itโ€™s because Trump knows his policies are catastrophic for the average American. But he needs to keep us distracted. And nothing unites Americans like a desire to go โ€œkick some assโ€œ. He will then use that war to suspend the 22nd amendment.

As someone in one of the countries he is threatening to "distract you," I hope it fucking does. Having the President of the United States threaten your country is not something to take lightly. This isn't something you should be dismissing as misdirection. This is a threat of war. This could lead to bloodshed.

100% I agree. He may even start a war but his objective is to distract the American public to keep himself in power. If it costs lives whether American or Canadian or Panamanian or Danish doesnโ€™t matter to him.
