“President-elect Donald Trump has made what to some are over-the-top proposals to acquire huge chunks of territory. He has already sent one of his sons to kick the tires on Greenland in expectation of purchasing it from Denmark. Are his intentions to make Canada America’s 51st state and return the Panama Canal to its rightful owners serious or bluster? If they are genuine, then why not expand his aspirations to make a really big deal in keeping with his prior real estate ventures? … Why not offer to buy Taiwan? The semiconductor business alone offers a great return on investment. But then can he flip it? One can think of a willing buyer less than 100 miles away who would find a purchase less costly than seizing Taiwan by force.” (01/14/25)
