Conqueror Trump

I knew Trump had a lot in common with Hitler, such wanting all power over the people, rewarding his allies, punishing adversaries, and palling around with other fascist leaders, one thing I didn't think he had in common with Hitler was a desire to acquire more territory.
Then he started making threats against Panama.
Trump threatened to take over the Panama Canal - which the United States ceded to Panama when its lease ended because of Panama's closer ties with China - which Trump allowed to happen the last time he was President. 
And not only is he once again trying to annex Greenland from Denmark - likely to be able to build condos there once climate change melts enough of it.
Trump is also referring to Canada as the fifty-first state, suggesting that he wants to annex Canada so as to connect Alaska with the rest of the U.S.  
Meanwhile, he's indicated that he wants to emulate President James K. Polk and start another war with Mexico . . . 
. . . probably to acquire Acapulco.
