The Trump Presidency - Part 2



@Dr. Dwayne

Also, Don Jr is in Greenland.... Representing his dad and their wish to purchase the island.

What the feck are these fecking psychos up to? The King of Denmark has changed the Royal Coat of Arms to make the inclusion of Greenland and the Faroe Islands more prominent on them and also as a 'feck you' to Trump who has upset him with his constant talk of buying Greenland and how the people of Greenland want it to happen.

He hasn't even taken office yet. This could be a fecking disaster.

Maybe I missed some madness in the past few weeks, but where did this idea of getting Canada and Greenland into US start?

He's a senile old cnut and probably doesn't have much longer left.

Greenland talk started 2019 and the most charitable explanation seems to be mineral wealth and defence. The stupidest explanation (most likely) seems to be some desire to just buy something "because real estate:"

Canada trolling seems to just that, trolling a weaker country because he can. Also trump hates mutual beneficial relationships. He wants to be a "winner" and make a "loser" suffer. Thats why you keep hearing about how Canada is "exploiting" the US. He thinks Canada needs to be shown to "fail" and this poor trolling attempt seems to be part of it.

I think there is also a group, don't know how many of these people would still exist in Trumps circle, maybe enough, but the online right as had a laser target on Trudeau since the "trucker convoy" debacle. These could still be influencing how MAGA thinks about Canada as a whole.

Just saw the Bruce Fischer clip. I am reminded that no matter how much I have a go at Dems, the GOP/MAGA will always be far worse. Vile, deplorable creatures.

Trump is sending Jr. to Greenland in preparation for taking it over. :lol:

He hasn't even started his term and already it's mindbogglingly tiring.

They found some random guy in Greenland, threw a MAGA hat on him and had him record something about how much Denmark is exploiting them. Turns out that guy was basically a career criminal with convictions for assault and drug trafficking among others :lol:

Greenland has a lot of valuable minerals to mine, and a very good strategic location in the Arctics. The US already has bases there though, and it’s NATO territory (not that Trump gives a shit).

Be hysterical if we did get Canada and all of the provinces became states, and they elect 2 democrat senators in each new state as well as a bunch of democratic congresspeople and then we would get our national healthcare in America.

Would be even more hysterical to see how Canada elect senators all like poilievre (essentially R) and eliminate all public healthcare to favour private corporations. Not to speak about gun violence. What do you think would be more likely to happen under the mighty US constitution?

If you think that canadians (and any other country) are free of a very big chunk of morons that elects Trump, votes for Brexit will borderline vote AdF, votes for Meloni and puts LePen in the last round to be elected, you would awake with a big surprise. I have little doubts that if a referendum would be done in Canada to become US, 20-30% of the population would actively vote yes. You would only need 40% of the population that would vote yes and neutral to not going to vote and you have a result like brexit

Which is why it would never happen. Nevermind that the mere mention of the topic is infuriating to many Canadians. This and Greenland are basically just attention seeking trolls by Trump to intimidate Canadian and European politicians before they're bullied by threatening them with tariffs over other policies of interest to Trump.

No European politician is intimidated about the Greenland thing, to be fair, except for the Danish ones.

Musk is obviously going after Starmer and Macron as well, probably at Trump’s behest since Elon is now living in a guesthouse at Mar-a-lago and is clearly using his own platform to help Trump.
 
anyone watching this Trump press conference? Low energy, rambling, talking things that have "never been done before". It feels like we've heard all this before

The same old stuff. Playing the victim
 
Trump is asked "Will you pardon anyone who attacked a police officer on January 6?"

he proceeds to ramble and ramble and talk about whatever pops into his head

To be fair, Denmark has sold territory to the US before, although obviously in a much different time. I think Trump probably has a genuine interest in Greenland from a strategic defense and mining perspective (or at least someone has convinced him of that). The topic of Greenlandic independence from Denmark pops up regularly, and like pretty much every former colony, their people can rightly feel aggrieved about their historical treatment. It seems completely ludicrous that they would be better off as a US territory though. Immediately their healthcare and education options would be greatly diminished. Trump and his ilk obviously don't give a shit about the people of Greenland - only the land. But getting people to act against their own best interest is kind of a Trump specialty. When it comes to the future of Greenland, I'd rule nothing out at this point.
 
The thing which is astonishing for me is complete lack of Denmark's reaction. And also from other European countries too. Your ally is claiming your territory, ffs. This is in fact (in some way) act of aggression.
Our (European) behaviour towards USA is truly pathetic. We behave like vassals.

Because Europeans don’t give a damn about their defense, just look at how many countries are still unable to meet 2% (the absolute minimum required) of their GDP as NATO members and 3rd year into a major war in Europe. Useless and doomed to fail. We need Covid level of investments from governments into our defense industry to turn this around, which is never happening with all the political pressures. Otherwise we will be bullied by the big boys.

What kind of reaction do you think would be appropriate? Our elected leaders have to keep up the facade and say the right things. We’re a tiny nation, the US is a massive trading partner, and Trump is vindictive and childish.
As satisfying as it might be, it won’t help the situation if the Danish PM came out with hostile rhetoric towards Trump. And it goes without saying that we’d be without chance in an actual conflict.

This post is a tad hysterical. Some countries in particular have been slow, yes, but we  are talking about a very large increase in Europe's spending.

So just roll over and pray it gets over quickly? I understand Panama. They could be invaded and nobody would do shit. But USA invading EU and NATO country territory? Never gonna happen. Even Trump is not THAT crazy.

USA needs Europe just as same (if not more) than we need them. So, this deserved strong response. Until Europe does that, USA will push, push and push.

Don't get me wrong. It is not just Denmark. It is all of us behaving like little USA bitches for decade(s) now.
 
And he hasn't even been sworn in yet

Invasion won’t happen, but the US could groom Greenland to come to their side, which is what they have started. And there is already an established process for Greenlandic independence - if that gets overwhelming support among its people, I don’t think there is much the Danish parliament can do beyond negotiating the terms.

And I still don’t see what it is you think European leaders should do right now. Start heavily criticizing Trump or threatening with some kind of diplomatic response?
 
Would be funny of trump the self title genius real estate deal maker does actually agree a price for Greenland, only then to be gazumped by the Chinese..
