Keep Calm And Carry On

It's no wonder they've been hiding Donald Trump away from the media for the most part since he won the election.

His cognitive decline is fierce.

How long before Republicans invoke the 25th Amendment?

Peace in our time.

Reporter: Can you assure the world that as you try to get control of Greenland and the Panama Canal, you are not going to use military or economic coercion?

Trump: No.. I can’t assure you on either of those two. pic.twitter.com/e6PvXcxDCi

As I said before, Greenland is part of NATO through Denmark. If he attacks Greenland, he attacks NATO. Whether we are in NATO, or not (and no, I don’t think he can unilaterally remove us from NATO; but that’s another matter). When Nixon came up with his “madman” theory, this is not what he was talking about.

(Trump is just preening for the cameras, here. There’s no “negotiating strategy” in this. He might as well say the moon is made of green cheese and he claims all that cheese for America. Think George III, not Hitler seeking lebensraum.)

Q: You didn't rule out using military coercion --

TRUMP: Well, we need Greenland for national security purposes. People don't even know if Denmark has any legal right to it. But if they do, they should give it up. pic.twitter.com/D74jFXZsln

Strategery.

Reporter: Are you considering military force to annex and acquire Canada?

Trump: Economic force… We don’t need anything they have. Why are we losing 200 billion and more to protect Canada? pic.twitter.com/f5n2cEFSth

Except electricity and gas. To name two.

There isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States.

Workers and communities in both our countries benefit from being each other’s biggest trading and security partner.

Canada enters the chat.

Trump: Gas heater is much less expensive, the heat is much better, it's a much better heat. As the expression goes, you don't itch. Does anybody have a heater where you go and you're scratching? That's what they want you to have. They don't want you to have gas pic.twitter.com/XVvfaNC5Qv

Are "they” in MAL right now, removing your gas heaters?

Pretty sure we already know.

Donald Trump just said he's going to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

Clown. Show.

That’ll keep ‘em busy on productive work.

Reporter: Meta announced they will stop doing fact checks..

Trump: I think they’ve come a long way

Reporter: Do you think he’s responding to the threats you’ve made in the past

Trump: Probably pic.twitter.com/KsmfB1Witw

What happens when you elect a madman.

Trump calls in and Junior puts him on speaker. He says we need to take over Greenland because there are “ships sailing around and they’re not the right ships.” pic.twitter.com/gFDJxpvMKf

Earlier that same day…

We're really supposed to believe Greenland is MAGA because Don Jr. and Charlie Kirk found some drunks at a bar in the morning and made them wear MAGA hats for a photo op?

GTFO.

Wait for it!

The Art of the Deal.

The video Trump posted on Truth Social of a man in Greenland in a MAGA hat saying he wants the US to take over is a convicted drug trafficker. https://t.co/1hyzkXtvCe

See? More Strategery!

Short of nuking the entire Middle East into glass, what does he think will make things worse for Hamas in Gaza? Israel has already rendered it unfit for human habitation. Where does it go from there?

Get used to it guys. Four more years of Captain Crazypants.
