President-elect Donald Trump has triggered many on the left and in the establishment media regarding his ambitious plans for U.S. expansion, and his son, Eric Trump, is loving it.
According to the Daily Mail, Eric Trump recently posted a meme that appeared to be a takeoff of a picture of an Amazon shopping cart, and the cart contained three items, including the Panama Canal, Greenland, and Canada.
In the image, President-elect Trump can be seen smiling down at his phone while viewing the so-called Amazon shopping cart.
The meme came in the wake of President-elect Trump threatening to seize back control of the Panama Canal, and also after doubling down on his intentions of potentially purchasing Greenland, which would be the largest U.S. expansion since the Louisiana Purchase.
In the caption of the photoshopped image, Eric Trump, the president-elect's middle son, wrote, "We are so back!"

The Daily Mail noted:
Trump first turned his ire on Canada and Mexico last month when he accused the neighboring countries of unfair trade with the U.S. and threatened they need to do more to address the border.
At the time he threatened both countries with 25 percent tariffs on all imports into the U.S. when he returns to office if they don't take action. It's a move that economists warned would raise costs on American consumers and could be economically devastating to all three countries.
The president-elect has trolled Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on several occasions since the two met earlier this month at Mar-a-Lago, with Trump making continued references about Canada becoming a U.S. state.
Trump has also said his administration will seriously look at the possibility of purchasing Greenland, citing critical national security issues and having the massive, Arctic island will be a crucial asset for the United States.
The outlet added:
At the same time, Trump has threatened the country of Panama in recent weeks with the demand that the U.S. take control of the Panama Canal.
Over the weekend, the president-elect wrote the canal in Central America which connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans is 'considered a VITAL National Asset for the United States, due to its critical role to America's Economy and National Security.'
Plenty of social media users reacted to Eric Trump's hilarious X post.
"Panama Canal first. Greenland second. Then we go after Canada," one X user wrote.
Another X user wrote, "If these items are in your cart, what does the algorithm suggest for your *next* purchase?"
While Eric Trump was obviously having fun, it'll be interesting to see how his father approaches Greenland and the Panama Canal. At this point, it seems anything is possible.
