About 50 years ago, I was reading political thrillers, including several by Fletcher Knebel. His 1966 novel, NIGHT OF CAMP DAVID, centers on a U.S. president who has gone insane. Signs of insanity include: desire for (a) an alliance with the USSR, and (b) annexation of Canada.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked.
The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.”
This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

So, basically Trump’s plan is to swear to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and then immediately break that oath.
Trump will 'most likely' pardon Capitol rioters on day one and says Jan. 6 committee members should be jailed
The president-elect also said in an exclusive interview with “Meet the Press” that he won’t request a special prosecutor to investigate outgoing President Joe Biden.
