Nobody takes Trump's comments seriously. Possibly not even Trump.

Putin is in a hot war right now. Xi seems to be actively preparing for one. The chance of the US sitting aside a military invasion of Taiwan seems very low to me.

It's been, what, 10 years of Trump now. If you're not taking what he says seriously, you have failed to learn anything.

His first term was mostly inconsequential. The second term looks different so far - especially for the Ukranians - but the Canadians, Mexicans, and Greenlanders/Danes aren't preparing for war. To be honest, I think the US military would flatly refuse. There would be violent revolution in the streets here.
