‘We’ll increase our territory,’ says Trump. Um, to the place?
Three extraordinary phrases had been sandwiched into Trump’s inaugural speech — deep sufficient within the midst of a prolonged sentence that they danger going unnoticed.
Trump referred to increasing U.S. territory, one thing that has not occurred in generations. He tucked the phrases “increase our territory” right into a string of issues he desires to do.
It’s clearly notable given all of Trump’s latest musings: making Canada a state, annexing Greenland and reclaiming the Panama Canal.
However it was obscure. He’d simply been talking about taking again the Panama Canal, after which talked about planting the American flag on Mars.
It was sandwiched in an intervening to-do checklist: “The US will as soon as once more think about itself a rising nation — one which will increase our wealth, expands our territory, builds our cities, raises our expectations and carries our flag into new and exquisite horizons. And we are going to pursue our manifest future into the celebs — launching American astronauts to plant the Stars and Stripes on the planet Mars. Ambition is the lifeblood of a fantastic nation and proper now our nation is extra formidable than another.”
To be clear, Trump didn’t refer in his speech, in any method, to both Canada or Greenland. For what it’s price, the thought of annexing both of these locations is deeply unpopular amongst People, in keeping with a ballot launched a couple of days in the past by the Wall Avenue Journal.
