He explicitly said he would use "economic force" to conquer Canada, meaning he would break our economy and drive Canadians into poverty in order to force us to join the US. The Idiot Senator from Maine has stated how that would go - no shadows of Canada would be allowed to remain. The violence would implicitly come afterward, because the vast, vast majority of Canadians would not be okay with this - especially since we would not be allowed to vote as states, since Canada is by nature a "blue state" and Republicans would not allow more blue votes. There would be protests, perhaps even Troubles-style terrorism, and Trump would send in the military just like he is currently doing for other uppity "blue" areas like DC and Chicago.
He wouldn't call it "military". He'd call it cracking down on crime, just like he is now. But people would die... probably a lot of people.
Be did say economic force. I'm correcting misinformation. He never threatened invasion, it just did not happen.
You're splitting hairs. Donald Trump is a delusional malignant narcissist, a stochastic terrorist, and a wannabe mafia don. He speaks in innuendo and "deniable" language: "Russia, if you're listening", "You won't have to vote again", "I need you to find me 11k votes".
He doesn't threaten to invade Greenland, he's just "going to get it one way or another."
He doesn't threaten to invade Panama, he's just "going to take it back."
He's not threatening to invade Mexico, he's "going after the gangs".
He's nearly incapable of envisioning the outcome of his own actions. Nearly all the actions above would result in war. He wouldn't call it war. Like his idol, he'd likely call it a "special military operations". But the rest of the world would call it a war. He's threatening war not directly, but as a direct and predictable outcome of choices.
Of course he never threatened invasion. He would deny he's ordering an invasion even as he orders an invasion. And the weird shit is, thanks to his mental illness, he would deny it's an invasion, deny it's a war, inside his own head even as he gives the orders to do so.
And you're sitting there "well ackchually"-ing the words of the most dishonest and delusional humans alive, as if anything he says or doesn't say means anything at all.
