Excellent, Eric J Scholl.
Trump is like Putin, who will push forward unless stopped by force. As a result, both are continually accommodated. Ask Mary.
The only regret Trump would ever have is not pushing harder.
Trump is committed to size. The Rio Grande is a piddly stream, almost invisible on a map, whereas the Gulf of Mexico, Canada, and Greenland are HUGE (especially on a flattened atlas). Donald would also observe the lack of direct access to Alaska.
Media words make a difference. Loyalty is used instead of subservience, subjugation, or even compliance. A mistake was made when Putin was substituted for Russian. References should have always been Putin's war, aggression, troops, minefields, etc.
Best.
