If you're following American politics, it'd help you (and your Polymarket bets) a lot if you deeply study other countries' politics. None of this is new. Outrageous Greenland / Canada / Panama comments? Maduro, Erdogan, even Kim Jong Un does this. And no, I'm not arguing about the Mad Man Theory. Trump is successfully moving the Overton Window (narrative, meme, w/e you call it). Soon, his other foreign policy actions won't seem that stupid and unethical anymore.

His first term worked the same way. Every day he said some insane lie on Twitter or in a press conference, which helped his actual policies (mostly standard issue Republican stuff) seem more palatable in comparison.

Exactly, the issue is it wasn't just for that term, those narratives have stayed and since libs are terrible, awful at narrative building, they maintained the changed Overton Window. Now Trump is moving it even further hegemonial. Next Dem president will "solemnly" analyze annexing Panama Canal 🙃
