Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize. The Norwegian Nobel Committee, not the Norwegian government and certainly not the Danish government, determines the winner of that prize. Yet Trump now not only blames Norway for failing to give it to him, but is using it as a justification for an invasion of Greenland.
Think about where this is leading. One possibility, anticipated this morning by financial markets, is a damaging trade war. Another is an American military occupation of Greenland. Try to imagine it: The U.S. Marines arrive in Nuuk, the island’s capital. Perhaps they kill some Danes; perhaps some American soldiers die too. And then what? If the invaders were Russians, they would arrest all of the politicians, put gangsters in charge, shoot people on the street for speaking Danish, change school curricula, and carry out a fake referendum to rubber-stamp the conquest. Is that the American plan too? If not, then what is it? This would not be the occupation of Iraq, which was difficult enough. U.S. troops would need to force Greenlanders, citizens of a treaty ally, to become American against their will.

Honey. The last straw was back in 2015…
There is no one holding Trump accountable
That poor camel is still holding on.
But it won’t be. Because everyone is afraid of that fat piece of racist shit.
The man is plainly mentally degrading in real time on TV. This is what the 25th ammendment is for if his cabinet was not full of disturbed sycophantic clowns. Or impeachment if the Senate would convict.
Stop trying to ascribe ideology to him. There isn’t enough of his brain left to have one. He belongs in memory care not the Whitehouse.
You would have thought the last straw would have been him admitting to sexually assaulting women, and yet they voted for him twice.
Most of those weirdos voted for him 3 times actually
That should have been the clearest indicator for the world to divest and distance themselves from America… Tens of millions of Americans were already so deeply mentally-ill from propaganda that they displayed religious levels of devotion to an openly demented rapist sociopath.
A lot of things should’ve been the last straw, but here we are, god only knows how many straws later.
Enough to kill a bunch of sea creatures.
The last straw for what, exactly? Half of America genuinely voted for whatever madness or chaos the guy wants.
incorrect, about a third did
Another third let that third win, they are complicit.
It was when he mocked a disabled reporter that it was over for me. Could’ve happened sooner if I was paying attention probably.
His announcement that he was running trailed off in a racist rant, while he was riding an escalator for some reason.
He’s had quite a lot of last straws
Nah… I’m sure Americans will move the goal post again and claim wE aRE noT THerE yEt
