If there is something he can grab in his proximity, he likes to grab it.

Morning Joe was just disusing the Venezuela nonsense and the guest (didn't catch name) was trying to make this articulate educated explanation on why Trump is doing this. Took us back to inauguration speech regarding Panama Canal, fancying himself as having a Neo Con Monroe doctrine...but it's his last two comments that stood out...It's really based on how he operates businesses and accepting tribunals...If there is something he can grab in his proximity, he likes to grab it.

Um...

Putin gets Europe.
Xi gets the Pacific.

They have divided up the planet and claimed their territories.

Trump might believe this, too. In actual fact neither Xi nor Putin are to be trusted. Xi wants the U.S.

to thinking he's going to be king of The Americas. He's tabled talk about Canada being the 51st state, since it went over like a lead balloon, but you know he's still thinking about it. And I'll bet in the background they're up to some kind of no-good in Greenland.

The article a month or so ago, about the world being divvied up by the dictators, wasn't far off.
