1. "Considers" is the wrong word here. Trump hasn't considered anything in his entire life, and he certainly hasn't started now. He consistently acts without thinking, such as his recent threats to the President of Panama via social media. The correct word for that is "threaten".
2. "Expansion" is the wrong word here. Expansion implies peaceful or at least negotiated growth. What Trump has threatened is taking land by force. The correct word for that is "invasion".
3. "If he's serious" is the wrong phrase here. Under no circumstances should anyone suggest threatening war with our allies is an unserious action. He's not a clown. He's the president elect. The correct phrase to describe his actions is "If he's not lying".
4. "Territorial" is the wrong phrase here. Panama, Greenland, and Canada are sovereign nations, who have roundly rejected outright any attempt at annexation by the US. The correct word for a military annexation is "occupied territory".
5. "Louisiana Purchase" is the wrong phrase here. The Louisiana Purchase was the result of a purchase agreement. What Trump is threatening Panama, Greenland, and Canada with is military occupation. The closest historical example is the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931, and Germany's annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland in 1938.
With that in mind, here's your corrected, now accurate title, CNN:
"Trump Threatens US Invasion.
If he isn't lying, an occupied territorial invasion and military annexation of Panama, Greenland, and Canada, would rival the Anschluß of Austria by Nazi Germany."
