"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, and we describe Trump as one of the most consequential and feared presidents, you know, certainly the most of our lifetime. Mark Carney is one of the few people who has really aggressively pushed back, but Trump has gotten most people to bend to his will in one way or another, and he clearly thought that that might happen with Canada."

Haberman is an access-seeking, secret keeping, book-hocking hack.

She is a journalist who is doing her job and part of the job now is to go on TV that produces social media clips to reach a wider audience, for both her reporting (and to sell her book, part of the contract). She is much better informed than most of the talking heads.&amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;gt;

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: 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.
@sarobertson.bsky.social
Haberman: If you want to look at a physical, tangible distinction between term two and term one, look around the Oval Office, look at all of the gold, look at how he has covered every single square inch with something, how focused he is on gilding it and how focused he is on leaving his own mark.
