First, a threat, a short delay before action then actual action. It's the only way Congress might feel threatened enough to act. This loon will not stop on his own, too many yes men and ladies.

End cooperation in the World Cup, threaten partipation in the Olympics, threaten the closure of American bases. Tax the hell out of all Tr*mp properties, begin Street maintenance at all of those properties. Cause delays on incoming flights. End cooperation in joint exercises. Pick any or all of the above. Sure it's harsh, but the majority of Americans will understand and will probably applaud you for it.

We truly are the ugly Americans, now. We don't seem to be able to get our sh*t together (Congress) so once again, we have to rely on the goodness of our European friends in a time of need.

When the MAGA's and non voters put this vile excuse for a walking, talking, non-thinking excuse of a human being in office, they made us a Russian satellite Nation.

If billionaires, law firms, the press, military leaders, Congress and some of the Judiciary don't stand up to him, what chance does the ordinary citizen stand against this demented fool with his army of arse kissing clowns. We sure could use some Ukrainian heart.

Someone needs to stand up to this bully! GOP has no..guts...

[calimary]

12. Well, SOMEBODY'S gotta stand up to him.

Eight countries draw the line.

Thank you, NATO nations! At least there’s you.

[LiberalLovinLug]

14. I think Trumpism is about throwing lots of different mud at different walls

Some may be serious, like the abduction of Maduro. Because it was possible both militarily, and politically.

Some are on the edge of serious, like taking over Greenland and Canada. But if there became an excuse, like a successful false flag operation, and their was opportunity, those last two can move to a serious threat.

Firing the Chairman of the Federal Reserve
Striking Iran again
Taking over Gaza
He keeps everyone guessing. He can change his mind on a dime. Or invent a new enemy in a day.

Meanwhile these become just one of the many mud splots.....
ICE abuse
Tariff/economy failing
and of course....Epstein files

18. The upcoming tariff battle will be fun to watch.

I believe that trump's tariffs will hurt US consumers far more than these tariffs will hurt the countries supporting Denmark.

I am glad that I am off Ozempic since that drug comes from Denmark.

There may be a fun economic war between Europe and trump over Greenland.


trump's obsession with Greenland is really sick and hopefully Europe and Congress can force trump to back down

22. Here is the letter that trump sent to Norway linking Nobel Peace Prize to USA takeover of Greenland.

trump is mentally ill

Link to tweet

CONFIRMED: Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre has acknowledged Trump’s letter is real.

The letter reportedly ties Norway’s Nobel Peace Prize decision to Greenland, questions Denmark’s “right of ownership,” and declares the world isn’t secure unless the U.S. has “Complete and Total Control of Greenland.”

PBS’s Nick Schifrin reported the text was obtained from multiple officials and circulated by NSC staff to European ambassadors.

It reads like a meme.

It’s not.

Here is another version

23. If he doesn't get Greenland

the tech bros may want some of their money back. The increased tariffs will go into trumps pocket to make up for any losses. He is already shaking them down for more by rattling the energy costs for data centers.

[Linda ladeewolf]

25. He's not getting Greenland!

[OrlandoDem2]

26. Hit back at Trump!! Put tariffs on US goods! Call for boycotts of US manufactured products!

Stop spending money on US products or going to the USA.

Americans and Europeans must stand up to this asshole terrorist and his cult mob!

[Glaisne]

27. I stand in full solidarity with the Kingdom of Denmark!

Fuck Trump!
Fuck MAGA!

32. MaddowBlog-Trump's weird letter to Norway's prime minister renews 25th Amendment talk

The last time the president confronted chatter about the 25th Amendment, it was in the immediate aftermath Jan. 6.

The last time Trump confronted public chatter about the 25th Amendment, it was in the immediate aftermath of Jan. 6.

It’s good to see at least some evidence of this returning to the fore. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

https://www.ms.now/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/trumps-weird-letter-to-norways-prime-minister-renews-25th-amendment-talk

It was a message that might as well have been written in crayon. A day after Donald Trump announced new tariffs on several European countries — economic penalties that would remain in place, he said, until his demands to acquire Greenland are met — the president sent a truly ridiculous message to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store, in which the Republican suggested part of his Greenland crusade is rooted in his failure to win a Nobel Peace Prize.

In fact, according to Trump, because Norway hurt his feelings by failing to give him an award he wanted but did not earn, he no longer feels “an obligation to think purely of Peace.”.....

The senator added regarding the American president, “He isn’t OK. He’s degraded significantly in the last year and he’s about to get us into a war with our allies.” Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii sounded a similar note, adding, “I don’t see how you can be a serious person and not find this extremely worrisome. He is not stable at all and his reality is warped.”

One senator, however, took an additional step down the same path. HuffPost reported:

Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) is calling on President Donald Trump’s Cabinet and Vice President JD Vance to remove him from office via the 25th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution over his latest threat to Greenland. […]

‘Invoke the 25th Amendment,’ Markey replied, referring to a constitutional process by which the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet can declare a president unable to perform his duties. If the president contests that declaration, Congress would ultimately decide whether he remains in power.

....If the American president is aware of such concerns about his mental stability and fitness for office, he’s not showing it. On the contrary, hours after his bonkers message to the Norwegian prime minister reached the public, Trump leaked a private message from French President Emmanuel Macron and used his social media platform to promote weird images, including one that showed a map of the Western Hemisphere in which Greenland, Canada and Venezuela are under American control.

Lars-Christian Brask, deputy speaker of the Danish parliament, told Sky News, “If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate and the House to start to take control of the political power in America, because with this mad and erratic behavior, you have to ask the question: Is the president capable of running the United States?”

Under the circumstances, that need not be a rhetorical question.
