I think Trump wants to keep “the enemy” vague and amorphous - “terrorist,” “illegal alien,” “war zone,” “antifa,” “poisoning our people,” etc. - b/c this is about expansion & exhibition of power, and not any person, group, boat, or contents.
He’s picking boats and cities for flex & cruelty theater.

As I see it, “lore” is the key term of not only this event, but of his presidency.
All of his political and cultural powers, claims of Article II authority/“emergencies,” are based on myths, illusions, narratives, branding.
