Trump: And I may do that for Greenland, too. I may put a tariff on countries if they don't go along with Greenland. We need Greenland for national security. pic.twitter.com/tAJO269PFJ

I thought we were going to war over Greenland. (And has he forgotten the Supremes are about to take away his power to arbitrarily impose tariffs? He frets about it every few weeks. Then he…forgets?)

That’s probably why.

Reporter: Will you pull out of NATO if it doesn’t help you acquire Greenland

Trump: We’re going to see. NATO has been dealing with us on Greenland… pic.twitter.com/ibjntByUSQ

That means “No.” Because, again, Congress won’t let him. (They won’t let him invade Greenland, either. Bullies always fold like cheap, empty suits.)

Reporter: You urged protesters in Iran to keep fighting in the streets and that help was on the way. Is help on the way?

Trump: Well, we’re going to see. pic.twitter.com/KP8OqDVkw1

That means “No,” too. Because the Europeans and Middle Eastern governments don’t want him to.

Reporter: Mr. President, do you commit to not do you commit to not militarily engaging NATO partners?

Trump: I don't talk about that.

Reporter: You're not willing to commit to not attacking a NATO partner? pic.twitter.com/x9DltbdEZZ

He’s so cagey. I wanna play him at poker. And I’m a lousy poker player.

Trump: The health care plan…the money is going to be paid directly to the people, not to the insurance companies. It's going to go directly to the people and the people are going to buy their own health care. They'll get much better health care… pic.twitter.com/cRyWQYQVaN

$2000? Still that amount? Does he know what the average deductible is? Or the average premium?

Trump’s economic framing and worldview are akin to a grandparent handing you a $20 and assuming that’s enough to go off and live your life. https://t.co/U5fXawNkJL

Yeah, he's about that clueless.

Let’s recap: Iran: not gonna bomb it. Greenland: not gonna invade it. Gonna use tariffs because we can’t negotiate with Denmark in spite of the fact Trump is an artist of deals. We can provide Greenland all the protection it needs because: NATO. But Trump doesn’t want to do that because… because he doesn’t fucking understand. He wants his place in history; but he’s weak. Putin probably wanted to destroy NATO; but Trump isn’t the instrument for that. Trump isn’t really the instrument for anything. Because he is weak.

Trump: The insurrection act which has been used by the 48% of the presidents as of this moment… And if I needed it, I'd use it I don't think there's any reason to use it. But if I needed it, I would use it. It's very powerful. pic.twitter.com/HQ0COE3PvB

He thinks the Insurrection Act gives him untrammeled power. It certainly allows him to use the military for law enforcement. But there’s still the constitution, and criminal law, and courts. It’s true many Presidents have invoked the Act (maybe as high as 48%) , but the fact you didn’t know that and can barely name who or why, is proof it doesn’t make a POTUS a Roman diktator. It doesn’t suspend law and leave the President the sole authority. 

So let him FAFO.
