Trump's late night rant against the UK "Thank you for your attention to this matter"

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

On Truth social:

Shockingly, our 'brilliant' NATO Ally, the United Kingdom, is currently planning to give away the Island of Diego Garcia, the site of a vital U.S. Military Base, to Mauritius, and to do so FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER.

There is no doubt that China and Russia have noticed this act of total weakness. These are International Powers who only recognize STRENGTH, which is why the United States of America, under my leadership, is now, after only one year, respected like never before.

The UK giving away extremely important land is an act of GREAT STUPIDITY, and is another in a very long line of National Security reasons why Greenland has to be acquired. Denmark and its European Allies have to DO THE RIGHT THING. Thank you for your attention to this matter. PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP.

1. Part of the nastiness from Trump is over the UK not planning to join his "Board of Peace" - see this

Trump wants the full constitution and remit of the Board of Peace signed in Davos on Thursday, according to people familiar with the matter. But other invitees are also skeptical.

Alongside France, the UK, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, as well as Canada, are all set to decline Trump’s invitation to take part, according to people familiar with the thinking in their capitals.

2. Trump really thinks America is "respected like never before"

that's proof right there he does not live in the real world

3. They need to sell some our securities.

Just enough to rattle the markets.

I keep thinking of the movie 'Red Dawn'. That had Russians parachuting into Colorado.

Now we will have American paratroopers drop in to Minneapolis to kill fellow citizens.

There is no reason they should follow such an illegal order.

Wolverines!
