David Frum interview...thought it was interesting...I paraphrased some of his thoughts in summary

[Bernardo de La Paz]

1. The summary is much appreciated. Going from that, I'd say tRump is trying to be the ultimate real estate tycoon.

He want's to enlarge US real estate with Greenland, Panama, Canada, Gaza, and Ukraine. He believes he's a great deal maker but he just a mafia boss so he tries to strong arm and bully everybody. He says to Canada, be the 51st state because it will be better economically. He can't understand why not everybody drops their culture and way of life just to make a few more bucks.

Since he can't take land by honey, he is trying the brass knuckles. Leaning on everybody and threatening to beat them up. Diplomacy? Cooperation? No, just threaten them. America First is America Lonely.

His best chance is in Gaza because Netanyahu is combining ethnic cleansing with a forever war to stay in power.

As you write, tRump is predatory. It is because a hammer is his only tool.
