Alarming Trump Press Conference: Signs Of American Imperialism And War Mongering Expansion!

Ronald 19 Comments

One day after the Electoral College counting in Washington DC that officially confirmed the victory of Donald Trump for the Presidency, Trump has held a press conference at Mar a Lago, and is stirring up elements of imperialism, militarism, and expansionism as his plans after the Presidential Inauguration on January 20.

Trump’s earlier statements and assertions regarding the Panama Canal, Greenland, and Canada were emphasized, making clear his intentions to promote expansion of American territory, in the name of “national security”.

Trump issued what could be considered threats against Panama, with his assertion, wrongfully, that Panama mistreats American ships as compared to other foreign vessels, and making it clear that he believes America should never have agreed to President Jimmy Carter’s pursuit of the Panama Canal treaty a half century ago. He emphasized the financial cost and loss of lives of Americans in building and sustaining that canal over a century. He implied that American military force might be utilized.

Trump also made it clear, that in his mind, Greenland is essential for American national security, and seems ready to use pressure on NATO ally Denmark to agree to allow America gaining control of that vast area of land, no matter how Denmark may feel about the matter, including possible use of military force. Greenland is the largest island in the world, at 836,000 square miles, which if added to the total area of the US (3 million, 532 thousand square miles), would make America have a total of 4 million 368 thousand square miles), putting America ahead of Canada and China, and only behind Russia in land area. Of course, if Canada, crazily were to become part of the US, the total land area would be 7 million 879 thousand square miles, putting the US first, ahead of Russia with 6 million 323 thousand square miles.

Trump said economic pressure might be brought on Canada, as he pursues the mission of making Canada the 51st state, a totally crazy idea, undermining the close relationship of our northern neighbor and the stability of the boundary line, which has been stable since the early 19th century by treaties. It is the longest border between two nations, at 5,525 miles long, including both the border with the mainland United States, and also with the state of Alaska.

And to top it off, Trump stated that the Gulf of Mexico should be renamed the Gulf of America, therefore creating an issue with our southern neighbor, that we share a boundary of 1,954 miles.

Trump’s threat to wage tariff increases against both Canada and Mexico are bound to undermine relations with both of our neighbors, and will cause vast inflation if allowed to be pursued.

We are faced with a person who could be considered a “madman”, who could be a danger both to America and world stability, particularly with our neighbors in the hemisphere, and with our NATO allies, which include Denmark!

    Trump is a seriously disturbed individual! Most people know him primarily from the Apprentice, where he seems relatable and fairly harmless. But he is very disturbed.

    Trump is asking SCOTUS to block the sentencing in the hush money case.

    Yet again, Trump is completely insane.

    The US military should never obey illegal orders from any president.

    That is WILDLY anti-democracy and 100% unacceptable!

    This should have been 9-0. The fact that 4 Justices voted to let Trump skate by without sentencing shows how corrupt they are.
