During a press conference for reporters at his Mar-a-Lago residence on Tuesday, Trump repeated his harsh remarks in recent days.
Among the most resounding theses he has broadcast are some that are worrying in light of his upcoming inauguration, scheduled for January 20.
Trump hinted that the United States could use “economic power” to turn Canada into “the 51st state of the United States.”
He also shared two maps on Truth Social on Wednesday where Canada is depicted as part of the territory of the United States.
After infuriating Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whom D. Trump called “the governor of Canada”, the future president did not rule out the possibility use military force and economic pressure to return the Panama Canal to the United States and to take control of Denmark’s Greenland.
In response, Panama stated that channel status is non-negotiable. And the capitals of the European Union shrugged their shoulders in defense of Denmark and warned D. Trump not to threaten the sovereign borders of Europe.
Among other things, the president-elect suggested that the Gulf of Mexico should be renamed the Gulf of America, and admitted that he “understands” President Vladimir Putin’s declared Russian concern about Ukraine joining NATO.
He also regretted that he could not meet with him before the inauguration, because he, like V. Putin, is interested in the meeting.
The American publication “The New York Times” succinctly summed up this string of statements in Florida as: “Donald Trump is back, chaos ensues.”
According to reporters, the press conference at Mar-a-Lago “was a reminder of what the next four years could bring.” They also sarcastically added that Trump’s family and team members are happy to say “we’re back,” but according to The New York Times, something else is actually back: “a chaotic presidency.”
The publication writes about a “sense of deja vu” after the press conference and scenes reminiscent of Trump’s first presidency.

“Conspiracy theories, fabricated facts, heated insults – and all this despite the fact that he managed one of the most remarkable political comebacks in history. Vague references to “people” he never names. An open statement that US national security is at risk without specifying exactly how the strategic environment has changed that would lead him (Trump) to violate the sovereignty of independent nations (Canada, as well as Denmark over Greenland and Panama),” the article reads.
“Worrying Signs”
According to the assessment of Vytautas Magnus University (VDU) professor and propaganda theory expert Gintautas Mažeikis, which he expressed to the news portal 15minall these statements are primarily alarming signs.
