I'm interested in some theories as to what Trump's strategy with this sort of thing is.
Clearly it's trolling. Clearly he hates the press. Clearly he's trying to play to the 'Murica! crowd with the Gulf of America thing.
But assuming that he's not just gone full Caligula (which isn't a slam dunk assumption), there has to be some kind of an explanation for what he's trying to accomplish. Is it part of his flooding the zone strategy -- by putting something out there that is at once so stupid and meaningless, but also certain to garner lots of attention?
Is it demonstrating to the press that he knows how to push their buttons and make them dance?
