Donald Trump, just weeks from returning to the Oval Office, wants friend and foe to know that he’s wrestled with an alligator, tussled with a whale, murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalized a brick — because he’s so mean he makes medicine sick.
Oh wait, that was Muhammad Ali, in the heyday of his boxing and epic trash-talking before bouts. Trump — especially in the run-up to his inauguration — is clearly challenging The Greatest for his title of GOAT in smack talk, chirping, jawing or whatever you call it.
That must be why Trump has recently put Panama on notice that the U.S. wants that canal back; Denmark, that he intends to make an offer to buy Greenland that Copenhagen can’t refuse; and Canada, that it should start looking forward to becoming the 51st American state.
