Do you mean like Trump sabotaged Biden by announcing the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan?

It's SOP . Pretending that it's only done by one side is the height of ignorance.

But most of them seem to avoid too much publicitiy. Trump knows they donated to him and that will make him happy. And probably most of them would have donated the same amount to any other new president.

 

Musk is a special case. He seems to think he will run the government and maybe he even thinks he will make it more efficient. But how many politicians in charge, collecting huge amounts of donations, really want an efficient government?

We will see, Im sure he will try to push every possible button to make sure his visions last a bit longer than his 4x365 days. My best guess we will see Ivanka as next president female candidate. He will pave the road for her to make sure his legacy survives at least 4 more years. 

 

With Zuckenberg, Musk and Bezos he is already there with heavy influencers with an exemptional power to influence the average Joe once more

What about the 'Greenlanders'? Have they been asked yet? The Danish PM has said Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders - https://www.politico.eu/article/greenland-not-for-sale-danish-pm-mette-frederiksen-us-donald-trump-jr/

The population is only 60,000. Suppose Trump offerred them each 700K USD as a 'welcome aboard' present for joining the US (slightly less than Musk paid for Twitter)?

Oh, AND American Citizenship too? Do the locals feel great attachment to Denmark? Have they had the investment and development aid they feel they are due from Denmark? Perhaps not.

Maybe that cash, and promises of great structural investment, would persuade a lot of them to vote 'Leave' in a referendum! No need for violence.

If he wants it that bad I'd say it'd be easy to get it.

The value of the natural resources would far outweigh that puny cost.

His comments on Canada are more of a wind-up. He has a gripe with Trudeau and wants to make him look insignificant.

What I really like about Trump is that he knows how to get under the skin of the left wing socialists. He is a master of "The art of the deal." Of course any sane person, which includes very few of the left wing, knows that this is only posturing and part of the attempt to start a conversation on the subject of Greenland and the Canal. It only gets better from here and I am so looking forward to a total meltdown from the left wing wackos.

You have the front to use the word, "wacko's...................

"President-elect Trump’s vision of American ownership of Greenland is not merely a whimsical notion; it is grounded in the historical and legal framework established by the 1951 Defense of Greenland Agreement. This agreement empowers the U.S. to significantly influence and potentially control this strategically vital territory, making a compelling case for action that Congress and diplomats cannot ignore. "

This thread is the written version of that famous photo/meme of an anti Trumper of indeterminate sex in fluoro clothing looking skyward and screaming his/her head off in anguish and pain.

 

I do hope this emotional outburst will not continue for 4 tears as it did during his wildly successful 1st term where he sprinkled peace and prosperity around the globe like glitter at a toddlers party. Cheer up folks, this is going to be magnificent.

How would this work... isn't Greenland in NATO? Aren't the other NATO countries going to protect Greenland?

President Trump if you read this a war with Denmark over Greenland is quite frankly a dumb idea  - the last thing the US needs is to invade yet another Muslim country.

Denmark used to be a wonderful place 

But if The Donald needs Greenland then we gonna take it from those pseudo Danes ...

 

 

I'm not a Trump fanboy, but the more I think about it the more sense this makes. Denmark "owning" Greenland is like the Brits "owning" the Malvinas.

No violence is necessary, the logic makes it simple. The US can and will make more use og Greenland than Denmark ever has.

And so the 'Greenland' meltdown commences…

 

He's just going to work out deals that satisfy all parties involved. Godspeed, Mister President.

 

Why does Donald Trump want Greenland? Behind the ‘strong, deliberate’ message to China

It doesn't make sense for the US to own Guam.  It's already at risk of tipping over.

 

The Chinese will make better use of it to extend the RBI instead of stationing warplanes to bomb brown people.

 

 

Usually lame duck Presidents reserve foreign policy gambits towards the end of their terms.  He's not even in office.

 

I suspect Barbados and Jamaica feel left out. And Trumpf has missed a complete policy win, fixing 98% of the immigration issue with a sweep of a pen, and no cost. Declare all Mexicans to be American Citizens. Given economic forecasts, adding the Mexican headcount to the US population will also lead to improvements in jobs growth and pay rises.

 

Greenland is not the only European outpost in the Americas. Of course, there are bits of France scattered throughout the Caribbean. There is Saint Pierre and Miquelon near Canada.. Plus British overseas territories.

 

What next; Diego Garcia and Ascension Island are declared America. And speaking of the Falklands, Trump will reverse long standing US policy to back Argentina's claims', on the grounds of geographic primacy. Then there is Antarctic territory....

 

Trumpf might even declare RAF Mildenhall, Ramstein etc as US territory, on the grounds of 80 years of US investment, declaring US base shutdowns, and Federal sale of the lands to private property developers, including himself. Mildenhall will make a nice Links.

 

Its not a joke, because Mister Trumpf is not a funny man. It won't happen because, like the last time, the man is useless and fundamentally a layabout.

 

Vance is currently recovering from nasal sinus surgery. Where is he, besides a third rate college football match?

 

 

President Vance might not be so bad sounding, mainly because we don't really know that much about him, though he wrote a book, married an Indian lady, was a late party boy and is a keen investor in fetal stem cell research (an area he has invested in before he entered politics).

 

12th Amendment; "in case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President", before inauguaration day, Vance is President, possibly triggered when Trumpf declares he's had enough of the Grand Duchy of Grand Fenwick, and he will make it mission accomplished on day 2,  once and for all, and Johnson is VP. Thereafter, 25th Amendment. Trump never forgot the national humiliation.

This is the maniacal delusions of world control coming from non elected president Musk, Trump would never had heard of Greenland before & could not have located the Panama Canal on a map, he would thought it was style of hat before Musk

Are Trump's Threats to Take Greenland, the Panama Canal, and invade Canada to make them an American state serious?' Does it matter at this time or are the media (journalists, podcasters, news hosts) and individuals being deflected from what is important, at this time? I posit people and media are once again being played like a fiddle by Don-the-Con as he turns attention from his promised "perfect phone call" to terminate the Putin-Ukraine War in <24 hours before his inauguration or not producing concrete details on his "concepts of a plan" regarding American healthcare that will "be great" and replace the ACA that he has had 10 years to work on.

 "I'm going to be working for you. I'm not going to have time to go play golf,” Trump, August, 2016.

In 2019 Trump spent 1 of every five days of his Presidency golfing.

Will people ever learn?

There is a good reason US Sen. (R-TX) Ted Cruz called him a pathological liar in 2016.
