Greenland, Canada & Panama Canal
Donald Trump’s entry into politics has always been unconventional, and as President-elect, he is doubling down on the traits that defined his success in business.
By bringing a corporate mindset to governance, Trump is reshaping the presidency with a focus on efficiency, innovation, and measurable results. This approach may just be what America needs to tackle the complex challenges we are facing.
Trump’s idea of a “merger” with Greenland or Canada is being labeled by critics as outrageous.
But his idea reflects a classic business strategy: acquisition as a means to consolidate resources, expand influence, and strengthen strategic positioning.
In the corporate world, such thinking drives growth and long-term stability. Applying this mindset to geopolitics could unlock opportunities for America to bolster its global standing in innovative ways.
And his proposal to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of the United States” - Trump is drawing on the power of branding—a fundamental business tool that changes the narrative and pushes a forward-thinking strategy to elevate America’s influence and identity in a competitive global landscape.
And what he said about the Panama Canal - Trump sees it as a “breach of contract” and takes a pragmatic view that international agreements should be mutually beneficial and subject to renegotiation if they fail to deliver value.
At the heart of Trump’s leadership style is the belief that government should be run with the same focus on results, accountability, and innovation that drives successful businesses.
Trump's focus on measurable results and long-term gains aligns with the priorities of a nation striving to compete and thrive in a fast-changing world.
Whether he is reimagining global alliances, reassessing trade deals, or renegotiating terms,Trump is treating America like the powerhouse it is—demanding respect and ensuring value in every interaction.
But Trump cannot do it by himself. Congress and the Senate function as co-CEOs and have a shared responsible for managing outcomes that are sustainable and aligned with the nation’s best interests.
