Return Of The Ugly American

So, Trump is going to buy Greenland whether Denmark wants to sell it or not (and whether Congress wants to buy it or not? Will Elmo just use the BSF computers to issue the check?); annex Canada whether it wants to be the 51st state or not (that offer was based on “no tariffs!”, so… 🀷🏻‍♂️); invade Panama (or not? Didn’t they agree to not let China control any part of the canal? Which they already said was the case…); and he’s going to relocate the people of Gaza, whether they or the Egyptians or the Jordanians like it or not.

And then:
Sure, why not? “And everybody, the whole world ‘round,/will just be another American town/Oh how peaceful it will be…” (Why these “other countries” would take our convicts in order to save us money is not explained. Doesn’t matter, because in foreign policy, Trump is stuck in 1950. On crime, he’s stuck in 1970. And facts are rain on the ground in some far away place that he probably thinks is just a desert.)

And when none of this happens… 🀷🏻‍♂️
