Ooh, I didn’t consider that. Good point. Still, without performing the actual calculations it’s quite possible it could reduce. There will be a certain amount of loss from reduced total landmass that would need to be compensated for and overcome by any increases. Reductions will be very, very common after all. Many islands simply disappear, most of Florida, etc.
Exactly landmass and coastline will trend towards 0 with enough sea rise.
And looking at a topography map of the US specifically the amount of coastline that could possibly be gained (if any) would not be worth the trade-off of losing pretty much all of SE US. Trump is definitely an idiot.
