I think its trade and military strategy. Ice caps are melting, arctic will become a major global shipping lane, he wants military bases and ports through which major commerce will flow. Its just something else for the US to control and extort.
Oh I agree, I think he’s an absolute tool and he’s doing it for ego and legacy (we can clearly see this play out with all the tariff nonsense) but I bet he has smarter people advising on that plan. It drives me nuts that someone can so consistently fail upward their entire life its unbelievable.
They already control most of the Arctic, and they have unlimited ability to add bases in the Arctic, but they don’t. It’s almost like none of this is for strategy or resources but more for vanity because it looks good on a map in his addled mind.

I don’t think he’s able to plan that far ahead. If that’s the plan, it’s not his.
He’s just a narcissistic bully and needs others to bend to his will.
