An Editorial Opinion
Donald Trump assumes the presidency on Monday. Unlike previous presidents who were career politicians, Trump is a real estate developer who is accustomed to undertaking large-scale construction projects and completing them on time and within budget. This is how Trump developed world-class high-rise buildings in New York and luxury resorts hotels and golf courses around the world.
Trump has identified two massive real estate projects and one foreign country invasion to pursue and achieve during his term as America’s 47th president. First, he will make Canada the 51st state. Second, he will acquire Greenland from Denmark and make it a U.S. territory. Third, Trump will invade Panama to seize operational control of the Panama Canal.
Here is Trump's strategy behind each one of these bold moves:
Canada is the second largest land mass in North America. It has a population of 41 million, 67.4% of whom are white. Acquiring Canada and making it a U.S. state accomplishes two of Trump's goals. First, this acquisition increases America’s declining white population by 27.6 million people with the mere stroke of Trump's presidential pen. Second, it secures America’s northern border because the only land mass immediately north of Canada is the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. It is highly unlikely that illegal migrants will be streaming into America through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago.
Greenland is the third largest land mass in North America. Its population is 57,751 people, the majority of whom are a mixed heritage of Inuit and European ancestry. Trump knows that global warming is here and that it is likely irreversible. As the polar regions of the earth continue to warm, Greenland will become more habitable for longer periods of time during the year. Trump and his close circle of multibillionaire friends, together with their access of trillions of dollars in government and private equity funding, plan to develop Greenland into an ultra-modern U.S.-owned mecca for the richest Americans.
The Panama Canal is the shortcut for supply-chain ships traveling between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The 51-mile-long canal is owned and operated by a small Central American country that Trump does not respect. He will seize control of the Canal by force, if necessary, to facilitate the rapid economic development and growth of Greenland and Canada. No U.S. agency or international organization has the power or courage to stop him.
The United States is a country that was built by seizing lands and resources from indigenous peoples (e.g., Native Americans and Mexicans). Native Americans, alone, lost over two billion acres of land to European settlers and the federal government. The land was lost as a result of U.S.-Indian wars, broken treaties with Indian Nations, coerced land purchases with defeated Indian tribes, the infamous Indian Removal Act of 1830, and thousands of forceful seizures over a 300-year period.
America also has a documented track-record of invading countries to take whatever it wants. For example, in 1915, under pressure from First National Bank of New York, President Woodrow Wilson ordered the U.S. Army to invade Haiti. The Army seized Haiti's National Capitol and took all the gold from the country's treasury. The invasion wrecked Haiti's national economy. The U.S. Army's armed occupation of Haiti ended on August 21, 1934. In 1931, Marine Corps General Smedley D. Butler summed up America’s financial intervention in Haiti this way: "I helped make Haiti .... a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenue in .... Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints."
Will Donald Trump succeed in his acquisition of Canada and Greenland? Probably so. He has the political support, real estate development experience, and financial backing needed to acquire and close these massive real estate deals.
