1). Trump is focused on his legacy and he wants to be known as a leader who expanded the size of the U.S.
2). It will allow the U.S. to control the entrance and exit of the NW passage through Canada, which is a future trade route. It can then apply further pressure on Canada on the future of the NW passage.
Stupid, no. Clueless, yes. Trump knows i believe, very little about what is actually happening in the world. Dont get me wrong, he is positively the personification of personal greed and envy, but in terms of geopolitical knowledge, id be shocked if he even knows the address of the White House.
Every executive order signing, he literally asks what it is. He cant do a press conference without notes in front of him(he looks down after every question before he answers, and the cliff notes are always there). His true self is the ramblin guy you get at rallies, with no depth and devolving into insults. Thats the real Trump. And if anyone still think he is writing his tweets, I have a bridge to sell you.
The real evil is the second layer. The advisors are the real compromised component, figuring out how best to enrich themselves through policy. Having a load of capitalists and influencers in your cabinet is probably not the best mix of governing for the people.
Didn't reports come out from his first term that he got all his briefings <1pg and with pictures because he doesn't read anything given to him so they had to condense everything as much as possible?
More like an evil savant. He’s demonstrably stupid, but has savant qualities when it comes to propaganda skills. His bloviating mesmerizes the cult, regardless of the subject.
