“We will expand our territory,” Trump says. Or where?
Three unusual words have been incorporated into Trump’s inauguration speech — deep enough in the midst of a long sentence that they may go unnoticed.
Trump referred to expanding US territory, which did not happen In generations. He has inserted the phrase “expand our territory” into a series of things he wants to do.
This is clearly noteworthy given all of Trump’s latest ideas: making Canada a country, annexing Greenland, restoring the Panama Canal.
But it was mysterious. He was just talking about restoring the Panama Canal, and then he talked about planting the American flag on Mars.
It was put on an overlapping to-do list: “The United States will once again consider itself a growing nation—a nation that increases our wealth, expands our territory, builds our cities, raises our expectations, and carries our flag to beautiful new heights.” . We will follow our manifest destiny in the stars, sending American astronauts to plant the stars and stripes on Mars. Ambition is the lifeblood of a great nation, and now our nation is more ambitious than any other nation.
To be clear, Trump in his speech made no reference to Canada or Greenland. However, the idea of annexing either of these places is not very popular among Americans, according to A reconnaissance It was published a few days ago by the Wall Street Journal.
