Whether or not Trump is a Russian asset, he is a Putin sympathizer at least, and more likely sees himself as a soon-to-be Putin peer. Trump wants the carte Blanche that Putin has to have what he says, goes. Trump wants to negotiate with Putin to collude in dividing the world into the equivalent of three mafia family territories controlled by Putin, Trump, and Xi’s China. Everyone gets a big piece of pie and without the a lot of messy, unpleasant ‘competition.’
Trump wants Canada, Greenland and central and South America as his domain. He’s willing to let Putin have the ‘weak’ European Union, though he tried hard to get a big bargaining chip by acquiring half of Ukraine’s natural resources to trade for something ‘huge.’ Xi gets Asia, including Taiwan, obviously. Africa and the Middle East? TBD but there is plenty of riches to go around.
All Trump really wants is to lord it over the Americas the way he lords it over his little empire at Mar A Lago, where he is indulged at cheat at golf and plied everyday with tributes and ring-kissing by the wide array of supplicants seeking his dispensation to continue enriching themselves for their — and his — benefit.
Greenland would be a fair price for continued US membership in Nato. The EU could club together to comp Denmark. Integration with Canada should be offered on a voluntary basis. Specifically, the US should support provincial level independence parties that seek to call statehood referenda. Any province other than PEI should be allowed to seek statehood, and PEI should have the option of amalgamating with any maritime province that becomes a state.
I think you’re being too rational on Trump’s behalf. He simply wants to ‘move on’ Greenland and Canada the way he once was able to ‘move on’ all the young babes he had constantly within reach. And he’s already demonstrated to NATO and other allies that America can no longer be trusted to live up to its commitments abroad. He’s definitely learned a lot from Putin!

The above agenda was my own. I don’t think Trump has any sort of real plan to get Greenland or integrate Canada.
