“In his inaugural address, U.S. President Donald Trump said, ‘We will measure our success not only by the battles we win but also by the wars that we end — and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into. My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier.’ But in the dawning moments of his second term, Trump claimed the Panama Canal and Greenland and coveted Canada as the 51st state. His declarations on Canada and Denmark, which retains sovereignty over Greenland, represent public threats against close NATO allies. Trump referenced only two presidents in that inaugural address: William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt. There is something ominous in these choices: McKinley for the general spirit with which he imbued America and Roosevelt for the particular way that spirit manifested under his leadership.” (02/11/25)
