I think Trump is operating under WWPD: What would Putin do?

Putin tried to annex Ukraine.

Trump is talking about annexing another country.

It will never happen.

Canadians do not want our health care system of:
Medical bankruptcies
Health insurers refusing payment under the guise of not medically necessary.
Etc.

Some Americans do not want it either unless we have their healthcare system.
Some Americans cross over into Canada to get their prescription drugs filled.
It is cheaper there.

Trump lacks any originality of thought.
Also, Trump does not think things through.
Republicans privately probably do not want it either.
Republicans would lose their majorities in the House and the Presidency.
