Why is Trump fixated on Greenland? @sbg1.bsky.social recalls what he told us in 2021: "I said, 'Why don’t we have that?' You take a look at a map...I love maps.

My new column is up on the me, me, me president and his effort to write his name on the map of the world:
Donald Trump’s approach to the world is not the isolationism that many of his supporters celebrated when he returned to office—it’s “a narcissistic form of unilateralism that says, loudly, I can do whatever I want, whenever and however I want to do it,” @sbg1.bsky.social writes.
