Haberman: Many of these things with Trump start out as trolls and then they take on a life of their own. His team was, in fact, looking at whether Canadians would be interested in becoming absorbed by the U.S. His team made a fair amount of overt and less overt efforts into taking over Greenland.

🎤 Whisper Transcript (en) ⏱ 43s

"Very early on, and part of it was because of his contentious relationship with Justin Trudeau, he started talking about Canada as the 51st state. He started mockingly calling Justin Trudeau governor. But many of these things with Trump start out as trolls, where he's trolling someone, and then they take on a life of their own. His team was, in fact, looking at whether Canadians would be interested in becoming absorbed by the U.S. His team made a fair amount of overt and less overt efforts into taking over Greenland. One of the things that's fascinating is the discussions about the U.S. taking over Greenland by force is that the U.S. has a military base in Greenland."

Haberman: This version of Trump, this presidency is pretty close to unrecognizable from term one. He is operating on pure gut and with a very small group of advisors who want to see him succeed and who prize secrecy above all else. @sarobertson.bsky.social

Haberman: When Trump looks at a map of the world, he sees a sphere of influence. He sees the hemisphere, the U.S., he sees Canada, he sees Central America, he sees Greenland. And he looks at it, frankly, from the perspective of a conqueror. He sees land that he thinks should belong to his country. @sarobertson.bsky.social

Haberman: Canada is not an exception. What is an exception right now with Canada is that Canada's current leadership has shown a fair amount of pushback to Trump. Mark Carney is one of the few people who has really aggressively pushed back. @sarobertson.bsky.social
