Fully agree. I hate these clickbait articles that for example say“Here is why Trump wants to annex Canada as the 51st state” to proceed explaining me about Canada’s strategic location and it’s mineral resources.
No Trump does not have a rational idea about why he wants to annex Canada, beyond “it looks nice on the map”, and all the mineral wealth in the world does not make up for the cost of antagonising your closest ally.
These ideas are all completely bonkers. You may have discovered a rational justification, but 1. Trump is not a rational actor, and 2. The justification is always insufficient to cover the damage it does to the US, and the world.
