    TBH I don’t try to understand Trump, he’s a dumbass and everything he touches turns to shit, but hypothetically IF he weren’t a concaveman, a moron of the fourth and highest order of dumbfuckery, and instead some other president then the play would be increasing US authority in South America either preemptively or as a direct response to eastern influences like Russia and China. You know. The same shit that’s been going on for almost a hundred years, now. It’s called a cold war.

    But again, I don’t think Trump’s capable of rational thought.

      Maybe, if there was a smart big thought in that brain. This will be simpler, as they will just build a building or two, a tower and hotel or something with his name on it. In exchange for $40 bil of other people’s money. He doesn’t care about strategy or geopolitics, this guy is 100% about the corruption and the personal benefit, the quid pro quo, he’s the mob president.
