Why do you think Trump, since becoming elected, has spent so much energy focusing on international land expansion issues that he didn't campaign on like Greenland and the Panama Canal?

I'm curious about this because if he genuinely intends to make a play for either of those, they are hugely significant things he intends to do. Expanding the territory of the US, or intending to, would probably define his presidency way more than whether the price of eggs came down.

So if he intended to do all that, why not campaign on it at his rallies? His campaign, and honestly his whole political image, was built on American isolationism and getting out of wars, and it was something that, with some exceptions (Iran) he tried to stick to in his first term.

Where do you think this post-election day pivot has come from?
