if he says it, you are for it. No, that is not true. But I usually find the "crazy" shit he proposes turns out to be correct when thoughtfully investigated, and many of those "off the wall" comments he makes are not really off-the-wall when you give it thought as he has. For example, when he first suggested buying Greenland, I laughed about it, before I gave some real thought to the strategic value of it and the relatively small amount money it would likely take to buy it. Like most of his "wild" ideas, it turns out there is strong logic behind it, and you start to realize it is an obviously sensible thing to consider. Trump also understands that on a given day, a proposition may sound crazy, but over time, people can let the concept sink in and they begin to understand the rationale behind it. What's funny on this one is that the Left isn't all over it, because it was Trump's idea. You guys never met a protectorate you didn't like but you don't want this one. Can't have Trump doing the right thing; he might get credit for it some day!
