This site asks an AI Chat bot to analyze the proposals made by the orange spirochete and his advisors. The human asks the bot very specifically about these instances, and I found it most interesting.

tl;dr: Guns are good to have and not need with less than fifty percent chance that you will need them furing this "bold but empty chapter in [his] foreign policy playbook".

Steps to childproof the Oval Office are near complete, but only so much can be done.

We tried to childproof our home, but the damn things keep getting in...

We cannot afford to buy and country. Have you seen our debt?

We already have Gitmo. Send him there, let him rule as he sees fit.

Trump talked about buying Greenland and taking over the Panama Canal during this first term, it went no where. It's always been about trading and trade routes and who controls them. The US media is focused on Greenland and Panama, while China is trying to gain control of the South China Sea. The South China Sea is one of the worlds most important trade routes not only for China, but for Japan and South Korea. China built artificial islands in that area and are battling the Philippines over the Spratly Islands which are part of the Philippines. Last I saw a Chinese ship rammed a Philippines coast guard vessel. It's easier for US media to run Trump stories over and over than to do actual journalism.

I think AI leans left.

At least it dresses left.

Like any program it reflects its human writers and of course the sources of information it's allowed to use. I think it's fairly on target.

Agreed - fairly on target, actually sane, thus my 'leans left' comment.

I wouldn't say left, I'd say pragmatic. AI was looking at Trumps track record in his first administration where talk of Greenland went nowhere. Trump spouts all kinds of shit and most of it just passes like a bowel movement and he's onto the next thing. As the AI said, he doesn't stick around when he's losing, he's on to the next topic because he wants to win.

Well, from my high chairs POV, I'd say pragmatic and left are one and the same.

Yes: nice direction. "Pragmatic" may mean "most efficiently least expensive". If that is the case, that should be the direction of arguments. Actual Conservatives can appreciate that premise, which will help them view our side as having something valuable to contribute. "Valuable" to them means "I can put money in the bank". That means fewer taxes of them are required because the public money spent is less than if the chaos we now experience were penciled out on a spread sheet.

Figures don't lie, and figurers make bucks. That's a premise we can use, eh.

There is a large change between this and the prior Trump presidency. At this point, Trump sees one of his role models attempting to use force to annex a neighbour. There is a natural urge to say, "Hold my beer and watch this."

Yup, the State and Defense departments will probably work on agreements with Denmark and Canada to bolster security in the Artic area and prevent the encroachment of Russia and China. Canada has icebreaking ships, the US Coast Guard just bought one. And maybe more US military installations in Greenland, we have a base in Thule already. It's a pragmatic/practical solution that will appease all parties, no one wants to get into a pissing war with a reliable ally like Denmark and piss off Europe.

And Trump will claim victory and his attention will shift to something else. He says shit because he knows it will rile Democrats and it always works.
