Would have been occupied by Canada and UK were not US who stood up to them by saying no?

Your complete moronity shining through dumbass.

over. It's not in your sphere. It's in my sphere. FDR's message is very clear. It is just extension of Monroe doctrine. Very basic, very straightforward and very 101. Learn more, post less, stupid.

Is Trump is not the only US president who expressed ambition on Greenland. So is FDR, our statesman. Trump just said something. FDR had actions, stopping canada and UK from taking over, sending US troops to Greenland, establishing the military base. The point is if you think Trump is an imperialist by simply saying something on Greenland, then FDR is a real imperialist.

FDR was anti imperialist not pro. He hated the British and French empires you dumb bag of shit.

....though I could come around if you mass deport the Canadian liberals to California and then kick California out.

It’s not like Michigan…we could sell that shit state to Canada for pennies on the dollar and still come out on top.

A net drain.

Now, if your populace changed your “wrongheaded”, dependence-oriented, liberal thinking; you could become useful again. Right now, your just a drain looking for a bail out from the fed.

You’re one of the biggest dumbasses on this board and you prove it day after day. California provides our country almost a $4 trillion economy. The US would be fucked without that, dumb ass. Try to do better.

We send billions in aid all across the world. Should we own all of those countries too?

Aid to other countries. We have illegals living in hotels while we have vets on the streets. We have a good amount of countries who need to get off the American tit.

How many of these countries return the favor or pay back what we send?

...here's a excerpt from the attached article...
--------------------
United States foreign aid, also known as US foreign assistance consists of a variety of tangible and intangible forms of assistance the United States gives to other countries. Foreign aid is used to support American national security and commercial interests and can also be distributed for humanitarian reasons.[3] Aid is financed from US taxpayers and other revenue sources that Congress appropriates annually through the United States budget process. It is dispersed through "over 20 U.S. government agencies that manage foreign assistance programs,"[4] although about half of all economic assistance is channeled through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

The primary recipients of American foreign aid are developing countries, countries of strategic importance to the United States, and countries recovering from war. While the United States has given aid to other countries since 1812, government-sponsored foreign aid was expanded during World War II, with the current aid system implemented in 1961.[5] The largest aid programs of the post-war period were the Marshall Plan of 1948 and the Mutual Security Act of 1951-1961.

Quantitatively, the United States spends the most on foreign aid of any country; however, as a percent of GDP, American foreign aid spending ranks near the bottom compared to other developed countries.[5] Foreign aid typically receives bipartisan support in Congress[6] as it is seen to promote global economic development and in turn, American national security.[5] However, foreign aid remains unpopular with the American public,[7] possibly due to overestimations of the scale of aid spending by the federal government.[8]

And trust me, I hate seeing homelessness at all levels. Trump spewing idiotic rhetoric like making Canada the 51st state or annexing Greenland is counterproductive.

As far as the illegal immigrant issue…this has been a point of contention for many years. Here’s a question for you…have ever been adversely affected by an illegal immigrant? I’m not talking about what you read or hear on the news. I’m asking about you. I haven’t been adversely affected and I live in a border city.

Please know that I’m 100% against illegal immigration. My point is that it’s been blown way out of proportion by politics and rare violent crime incidents involving illegals.

To my part of Florida. It may be blown out if proportion for political talking points, on both sides. The GOP wants to stop it which makes the crazy ass lefties want it even more. Did you see where 158 Dems didn’t vote for a bill to not deport illegals who are sec offenders?

Nancy Mace gave more than a few examples of issues with illegals harming Americans. In the grand scheme of things, it’s a small percentage but losing any American life to someone who shouldn’t be here is too much.

As far as Trump, I think he says shit just to get a rise out of people and it works, every time.

All bluster.

Democrats need to ignore the nonsense, focus on core issues that impact Americans’ daily lives, and it will be a blue tsunami in 2026.

Thanks to a leaky administration, everyone gets an inside look at how the Trump White House operates. Aides often leak stories about the difficulty of managing Trump — as if they were his babysitters. Here are some of the clearest examples, sourced from Axios, the New York Times, the Washington Post and Politico.

No more TV: Aides said they try to give Trump "better choices" or jam his schedule with meetings to keep him away from reading about or watching himself on TV (and then tweeting about it). An advisor told Washington Post, "Once he goes upstairs, there's no managing him."

Show and tell: Aides know Trump responds best to visuals. Typically, when someone wants to sell him on something they use props, according to Jonathan Swan. An official once told NYT, "The president likes maps."

Maps: In fact, Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue used a map showing the "Trump country" areas of the U.S. that would be hardest hit by NAFTA's termination to convince Trump to keep the trade agreement, according to Washington Post.

No friends until work is done: Reince Priebus has tried to stop Trump's many visits with random aides, family, friends and reporters to the White House — which visually annoys the chief of staff — by filling up his schedule with ceremonial events, according to NYT.

Play time: Priebus has been busy making room in Trump's schedule to do whatever he wants. As NYT put it, "He has reduced the pace of public events and, like a Montessori teacher, modulates structured work time with the slack periods Mr. Trump craves."

Censoring polls: During the campaign, aides got used to digging up the two polls consistently favorable to him — Rasmussen and LA Times tracking poll, according to Swan.
The happy news: Staffers include positive, local news clippings in Trump's morning briefings instead of the possibly more negative headlines from a national paper, they told the Post.

The bad guys: When aides want to ensure someone doesn't get a job, they know to print out everything negative they've said about Trump. They know he's especially sensitive to disloyalty. This is partly what happened to Cathy McMorris with the interior secretary position.

No more tweets: Toward the end of the campaign, stories surfaced that aides had finally convinced Trump to let them handle Twitter.

Listen first: A confidante told Politico "If you're an adviser to him, your job is to help him at the margins. To talk him out of doing crazy things."

Simplifying: When it comes to making a policy or strategy decision, aides told Politico that it's best not to give Trump too many different options, but instead, thoroughly explain one, favored option and how the press would cover it. "You go in and tell him the pros and cons, and what the media coverage is going to be like."
