17. Trump never compromises. He expects capitulation, and will use whatever device he can to get there.

Trump admires Putin, and want's to create his own version of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
So, he is setting his sights on owning all of North America plus Greenland.
He thinks he's just going to take these nations. Not a chance.
