Let's take a deep dive into one of Trump’s lesser-discussed obsessions: expansionism—his fascination with adding territory to the U.S. and taking over other countries. From floating the idea of buying Greenland to making eyebrow-raising comments about Canada and the Panama Canal, it’s not just bluster—it’s rooted in something deeper.
Don explores how this imperial fantasy traces back to Trump’s admiration for President William McKinley, a leader best known for overseas expansion and empire-building. What does this say about Trump’s worldview—and the kind of power he’s really after?
It’s more than nostalgia—it’s a warning.
