Trump is nothing but a bully!!--but we have known that since day one!!

BREAKING: Trump is now threatening to put his (likely illegal) tariffs on countries that don't go along his illegal attempt to take over Greenland.

This is what Dictators do.

"I may put a tariff on countries if they don't go along with Greenland because we need Greenland for national security. I may do that.”

The world is, at least in part, moving on without us thanks to Trump voters and those that didn't vote at all, and the consequences of their actions.

He’s looking for the least embarrassing off ramp because he’s seen the polling on Greenland, and knows an invasion will only worsen Republicans already shitty chances in the midterms, not to mention destroy the economy.

So, he pivots to focus on punishing the NATO countries for not supporting him, rather than continuing to talk about invading Greenland.

Bok! Bok!

BREAKING: A delusional Trump brags to a dead silent room "I'm the tariff king, and the tariff king has done a great job."

He is neither a king, nor has he done a "great job." Trump is disconnected from reality.

Except Russia, seems like Russia will understand. And maybe China, if we let them annex Taiwan.
