@futurebird Thanks for your thoughts. I always like hearing from you.
I agree that oftentimes, Trump's words are meaningless because they are meant to be useless controversies. His comments about Greenland and Canada are examples of this, in my view.
This particular remark echoes something JD Vance has said repeatedly, and also Trump's own court filings, so it actually matches his actions. He is laying the rhetorical groundwork to defy court orders so this matters.
