When I read Douglas Mackinnon’s post at The Hill proposing additional countries beyond Greenland and Panama to add to President Trump’s “shopping list”, my immediate reaction was to wonder why he hated the United States so much as to propose adding Haiti to the list of countries that President Trump should want to add to United States possessions.
My second reaction was to hope that his post was something on the order of Jonathan Swift’s A Modest Proposal, something so outrageous it was obviously satire. Can you think of an act more likely to start World War III (assuming, that is, that it hasn’t already started) than claiming Taiwan?
