Your forgetting one simple fact: Canada is a NATO ally and a democracy.

Trump has no reason to  take it down and make it the 51st state. Same goes for Greenland, as Denmark owns it.

The countries that should fear Trump the most are Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Columbia.

I'm not seeing how Trump cares about democracy though. He also seems to barely care about NATO. Both of these seem like hindrances at best against Trump. It's definitely a higher threshold to act against allies than others, but he's getting bolder and bolder, and he might reach that threshold at some point. I still don't think he's going for Canada though, because he's not getting Canada without a full-scale war, and that's going to be risky without popular support (which, I imagine, doesn't exists for such a war). Greenland though? It's up for grabs, as far as a military response goes. What other response there might be is the real hindrance.

Does Trump even care about Cuba? Or North Korea? During his first term, he certainly seemed to want to get friendly with North Korea. He seems to have thing for 'strong' leaders, and North Korea definitely has one.
