Someone else offered the darker explanation that he’s threatening to use the military against countries like Canada who decide to reduce their investment in US bonds. I don’t know whether that’s seeing meaning where there isn’t any, but here in Canada we haven’t forgotten that Trump keeps saying he wants to destroy our country one way or another. But overall I think it’s more likely he’s just failing to understand the question then forgetting what he’s supposed to be talking about.
Yeah, he definitely seems untethered enough that any kind of threat seems risky to entirely dismiss. I don’t think he’s gonna do anything with the actual military against Canada, though. That’s expensive, and his puppeteers don’t see a big profit in it. He’s kind of already acting as an occupying force within the US, and his hold on power here is tenuous; and war with Canada, who can actually hurt Americans on their home soil, would be even more unpopular than his various overseas entanglements.
