The President of the United States is currently standing on a stage

[EarlG]

in front of a gathering of the world's richest people, rambling almost incoherently about how they should give Greenland to him.

That's all he wants. Just an entire country. Just give it to him. "A piece of ice. Cold and poorly located ... It's a very small ask." (ACTUAL QUOTE.)

The good news is that he says he's not going to take it by force, even though he could take it easily, and by the way, he's building battleships which will be 100 times more powerful than the big beautiful battleships that you saw in World War II.

So he just wants the world to give Greenland to him. He needs it. Just give it to him. Also, Canada. He's got big plans for Canada.

[Scrivener7]

1. Twenty freaking fifth Amendment!!

[niyad]

3. cholesterol

[tinrobot]

17. Extra strength Adderol

[Safe as Milk]

74. How about an Adderall-fentanyl cocktail? Make it a double. n/t

[Texin]

117. I toast to that!

[Zorro]

2. I'd be more in favor of Canada taking over the USA

[Hugin]

5. Or St Helena taking over Trump.

There is precedent!

[highplainsdem]

25. Yes!

[calimary]

60. I actually wouldn't mind seeing Mt. St. Helens taking over Trump.

With LOTS AND LOTS of burning hot lava!

It sure would help him get ready for Hell.

[wolfie001]

61. How's this Hugin?

It took me a few minutes.
[img][/img]

[Hugin]

70. Fit for the Louvre...

I’ll take a ten x fourteen glossy on black velvet.

(Oh, nice. I just realized that the famous source art work is a WATERCOLOR! Very subtle. Waterloo! )

[wolfie001]

99. "A cold rain descended on the battlefield during the night....."

tRUMP is having his Waterloo.

[Bev54]

75. Trump thinks we, Canadians, should be more grateful to US. I have to say Trump has made us so

very very grateful that we are Canadians and not Americans.

[orangecrush]

88. I'm envious

[3auld6phart]

76. No way ,,,,

Do we want anything to do wit with yourChristo Faciscist filth.we have our own share of dummies. lo

[Intractable]

4. I pity the translators!

[Johonny]

11. Closed caption in every other country

American president says something nuts. American president says another thing completely nuts. WTF this guy is batshit crazy. Call for the padded cell. Okay, we're out of here.

[DET]

6. This is one for the ages

The man is batshit crazy.

[IcyPeas]

7. He just said Iceland twice.....

[dalton99a]

9. +1

[0rganism]

18. A multi-cringe moment in one of the cringiest speeches of all time

What a goddam jackass. Will it never shut up?

[returnee]

65. He is stupidly literal.

Greenland is an ice-land.
People seeking asylum come from asylums.
He confuses meanings.

[dalton99a]

8. And now he's talking about the amazing F-47 and Macron's eyeglasses and drug prices going down 1000%

[AllyCat]

47. Really? Because my eye drops went from $0.00

Last year to $800 yesterday. One month supply.

He lies about everything. He literally makes things up in his head. None of what he says is true. Nothing.

[hannah]

10. Embarrassing

He is droning on and on. Somebody, make it stop!

[NJCher]

32. No!

I love it! More! More!

Since the founders’ design for preventing dictators has failed, this is the absolute best way for the world to see what we are up against.

[Wicked Blue]

94. Perhaps a small drone is called for

[Fiendish Thingy]

12. Step 2 in the TACO process

“I could take it by force, because when you’re a star, they let you do it, but I won’t. Instead, I will make the greatest deal like never before, and you can stop selling off your Treasury bonds…”

[Walleye]

13. Now trying to justify his stupid math calculations about prescription drug prices

[dalton99a]

15. Going down by 1000%

[Walleye]

16. Can never admit he was wrong about anything

That’s mental illness

[OGBuzz]

43. Thank you Trump.

I went to the pharmacy to pick up my $100 dollar monthly prescription and walked away with $1000 plus the meds.

[ananda]

53. I'm getting a prescription later today at HEB.

I think it's $15 for 90 days.

In Maga math, that means I will save $1,485.

[ProfessorGAC]

54. And To Think That Bessent Went On National TV...

...and tried to use magic math to show that this 800% or 1,000% nonsense somehow made sense.
He's either the ultimate sycophant or just as dumb as his boss.

[NoSheep]

89. Math On!

[vapor2]

92. HA ! you're trying to rationalize something that's not rational

[Phoenix61]

14. Actually this is a good thing.

In case there were any doubts about him being bat shit crazy. I don’t think rich people want a crazy person in a position to screw with the markets.

[IcyPeas]

19. We shoulda had a drinking game for every time he said "Biden"

[Ray Bruns]

30. Why? Do you have a death wish? That much alcohol can kill a person.

[The Madcap]

35. That might be preferable

To having to live in Trumpland.

[EarlG]

21. It's been quite some time since I've subjected myself to Trump speaking

But the more I see him now, the sadder and weaker he looks. He's still spouting most of the same crazy shit that he's always spouted, but there's an extra edge of lunacy to it now.

The worst thing for him though is that he's lost his salesman's energy and brashness. When he had that, he could hypnotize an audience -- he could say almost anything he wanted and people just got this overall impression of strength and confidence. But without it he sounds more like someone rambling to themselves in a corner at the nursing home.

[highplainsdem]

26. He's making a great case for why he shouldn't be president.

[Dulcinea]

81. "he's lost his salesman's energy and brashness"

THIS! That's all he had going for him. Now he's sliding into dementia, insanity, or whatever. Time to take Grandpa's phone away.

[Katinfl]

104. I caught a minute or two of him and you are right. He's really losing it these days.

[WiVoter]

24. I Was Thinking The Dame Thing

[Katinfl]

103. This may be the one thing that really makes them sit up and take notice. He is stark, raving mad!

They are getting a front row seat to his dementia. How can they cave to his man’s whims? You have to stand up to a bully, that’s all. Gavin Newsom has it exactly right…….pray they take him at his word.

[Lovie777]

20. shithole or someone else who is just as deranged/insane .................

has the nuclear codes.

[Torchlight]

22. He's played Risk and thinks owning it will give him three extra armies each turn?

That's all I can think of.

[rampartd]

123. the savants blamed this greenland obsession on a mercator projection

but the parker bros president gets his "smarter than the generals" insight from a risk board.

[BH liberal]

23. We are being humiliated...

in front of the whole world! The rest of the nations on this planet won't have a hair on their asses if they don't call for a boycott on everything American at this point. And who could blame them!

[NJCher]

36. Our SYSTEM is being humiliated

Last edited Wed Jan 21, 2026, 01:10 PM - Edit history (1)

I and many others on this board have let the world know we want no part of this and that we strenuously but peacefully object.

No “we” here.

[littlemissmartypants]

46. Please don't speak for me. ❤️

[Grim Chieftain]

27. Rambling on and on incoherently for the entire world to see

Not only does it make him look bad, it makes the US look pathetic that we would allow this to happen - and to continue.
It's no longer just about his sanity, it's about ours too.

[BH liberal]

29. Well said!

It's beyond the pale...

[Karch]

28. Never Ever

forget he is a compulsive liar.

[littlemissmartypants]

50. Pathological compulsive liar. He has little control over it. Kind of like

Another problem he has further down his anatomy.

[Chiefsfan]

31. The President of the United States

Why did the people in the audience stand up and clap for the orange baby? They should of sat in silence!!!

[BooScout]

40. The only people clapping....

...were from the American delegation....ten people tops.

[Biophilic]

49. Thank you. Not watching so I was appalled by the comment about people standing up and clapping for him.

[Kid Berwyn]

77. Toadies

Shills. Plants. Confederates. Stooges. Republicans. Total shit stains.

[KS Toronado]

100. " sat in silence"? Hell no they should have been booing

And welcome to DU.

[bucolic_frolic]

33. Governor Newsom told them what to look for.

They were forewarned, and he wasn't far off the mark!

[Botany]

34. Why torture yourself?

Trump is like drinking 1/2 a gallon of unpasteurized apple cider, eating a bran muffin, and then
getting into a car in a traffic jam on a freeway with no exists for miles. The results will not be
pretty.

[NJCher]

38. Please tell me

This recipe is not from personal expo.

[lastlib]

59. Or a colonoscopy prep drink........

Me, I'd rather drink the prep than listen to The Bastard.

Every time I hear him speak, I think, "God, WHY didn't Fred let it run down his leg??"

[Botany]

68. For the last few months until they removed a stone from my liver last Friday it was not pretty.

Much better now.

[OGBuzz]

37. What an embarrassment.

How the hell was this lunatic ever elected? Twice!
It was the same b.s. yesterday from the White House press room. He pulls numbers and statistics out of his ass and no one dares challenge him to his face.

[IbogaProject]

48. Simple we are outnumbered

His voters are about 1/3 of the eledgible voters but what put it over the top are non-voters and those who don't register l to "stay off the jury rolls".

[mahina]

107. Also the bomb threats at polling places and the

Voter suppresion

[IbogaProject]

114. Yes, but all their chincanary fails under massive turnout

They can only really shift close elections

[poozwah]

56. deja vu

i have posted the following quote many times before and it never grows old:

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” h l mencken.

this quote explains how this lunatic was elected…….TWICE!

[obamanut2012]

39. This is fucking insane, and so embarrassing

[MiHale]

41. Poorly located...but essential for security...

Iceland…Greenland…wut?

[MustLoveBeagles]

66. I noticed that too

[walkingman]

42. What an embarrassment...the man is a blathering idiot.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

44. It's mine!!!!! Give it too me!!!!!

Just like a whining toddler.

[poozwah]

45. peace in our time

let’s say denmark gives us greenland and neville rubio comes back from denmark with the paperwork showing us this gift. will we have “peace in our time”? will adon trumpler stop with greenland? will he then sign a nonaggression pact with putlenin? will we invade canada and mexico? have we seen this shit before?

[Mr.Bee]

52. After Hearing His Delusional

rant yesterday about how he 'fixed' this nation
from the mess Biden had made, how everything is affordable
in his fantasy, no wonder he wants to take on more countries to
make great again!
a big NT

[Joinfortmill]

55. My take: Completely isane...Now they're using him to get what they want most: money

Congress better get off their ass soon, before the oligarchs own everything. Russia 2.0.

As for the rest of us, we need to do more. We need a complete moratorium on all non essential workers and spending for a week. I'm not kidding. Send these rich bastards a message.

[Orrex]

57. Why doesn't he just fucking die?

[Ilsa]

58. Someone, stop him!

[Traildogbob]

102. 😂😂😂😂

OMG! This is great. If only they would just laugh their asses off about every word, he would stroke out with rage, Die and THEN, only THEN we can start to make ourselves better with hope of great one day.
They could ALL end his shit today, just freaking 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Then watch 😠😖😡🌚💥🌑 and enjoy. 😊😃😀

[Ilsa]

115. The diplomats are way too nice! nt

[Traildogbob]

116. You are correct

Way too much Class, not something MurKKKa has anymore.
Just gold plated assery. 35 percent of the Nation.

[Vinca]

62. I forced myself to watch it - kind of felt it was my civic duty. OMG. I'm mortified. To think this is what is

representing us on the world stage is something out of a movie script. He was in full-blown crazytown mode.

[Jersey Devil]

63. But he doesn't want "ugly" battleships

He doesn't like some of our newer battleships because they are not "aesthetically" pleasing, wants them to look menacing and "beautiful".

[whathehell]

127. Unlike the beauty contests he's sponsered in the past,

maybe he can now run one for Battleships.

[Farmer-Rick]

64. This demented, feeble, blithering idiot

Threatening filthy-rich powerful people from all over the world to just handover a country populated by over 53,000 people (never asking the 53,000 people who in all actually own it.) is brought to you by capitalism.

It's the ever soul crushing grinder behind the scenes in modern nation-wide disputes.

Enjoy the inevitable end stages of capitalism. It will get worse.

And thank the idiotic economists who told you "free" trade was a good thing. Some of them even got Nobel awards for lying to you.

[vanessa_ca]

82. I wish I could rec this many times -eom

[Sancho]

67. Can we put the orange idiot on an iceberg...

...call it "Iceland" and shove his fat ass out to sea???

Just asking?

[MustLoveBeagles]

73. Good idea 👍

[k55f5r]

85. Hey, it worked for the Eskimos.

"Have a nice trip, Grandpa."

[lastlib]

113. Have Denmark rename the big island as "Denmark", then

name some iceberg "Greenland"--"sure, don, you can have 'Greenland'--but you have to come and personally take possession....."

[allegorical oracle]

69. Hideous lies...hideous embarrassment. Shouldn't believe anything he said. He's using

Greenland to eventually get Canada. A map rendering he produced a couple days ago showed the U.S. flag emblazoned over Greenland, Canada, and all of the U.S.

[dlk]

71. Thank you GOP

Remember who knowingly and willingly did this to America, and the world.

[Baitball Blogger]

72. This is so embarrassing.

It sounds like he thinks he's standing around a pool table, squeeging the tip of his pool stick while he's bravadoing with his buds.

[NBachers]

78. To all world intelligence services: it's time to drop the decorum and release all the incriminating information you have

[DFW]

79. I got a message from my office in Geneva

It was basically the French equivalent of WTF??

[turbinetree]

80. Just maybe some in the media should go up to the senators and the US Supreme court and ask them did you fail this

country..........not once but twice and why you own this shit show................JFC

[PatrickforB]

83. I have an idea! Let's give widdle Twumpy a TOY map of Greenland. We can put a blue ribbon on it

and let him know how truly valued he is as our Pwesident. Gosh, he's been the best champion of Greenland that ever was! And now, Donald, here's a nice new SHINY MAP of Greenland, and you can be King!!!

This guy has the emotional range of a six year old bully on the fricking playground. Geez.

[Chi67]

84. BS

Trump cannot be trusted. He will try to take Greenland by force if he so chooses.

[maliaSmith]

86. Idiot

What a fucking idiot.

[orangecrush]

87. We're doomed

[oldinmtdem92]

98. hate to say it

but i think you are right gonna get worse before it ends.

[Deep State Witch]

90. Give Him the Hook

Like in vaudeville.

[Metro135]

91. Just give Czechoslovakia to Hitler

It's all he wants. It will bring us "peace in our time."

[Ilsa]

93. Geez, he's stupid. No wonder he and Sarah Palin got

along so well.

Maybe Ivy League uni's and other "prestigious" universities should have a general knowledge exit test. The general voting public can't seem to prioritize objectives or see beyond his strident, emotional rhetoric and racism, and it seems like we elect a lot of ivy league presidents.

[hadEnuf]

95. For crying out loud Republicans just get him the hell out of office. He's gonzo.

He's clearly a rambling lunatic and an evil bastard. We know you could care less about the evil part, but the lunatic part is making you look even nuttier than he is by keeping him in there.

[Nasruddin]

96. "he says he's not going to take it by force"

Remember, he lies like he breathes - with every breath.
Like Mary McCarthy said about Lillian Hellman, everything he says is a lie, including and and the.

[GreenWave]

97. Sadly MAGA is spreading worldwide: Make America Go Away

[flvegan]

101. 77 million Americans voted for this imbecile. n/t

[patphil]

105. He's done an amazing amount of damage to the United States in just one year.

You name it, he's fucked it up.
But his ambitions go far beyond the United States. He believes he can be ruler of the world. 1.5 trillion dollar "defense" budget projected for 2026! That's about 600 billion more than our current defense budget.
Of course we now have a Department of War, not Defense.
That tells you a lot about what his plans are.

The world is hearing a strong echo of Hitler in the words of Trump.

My only hope is that his health fails before he can take us farther down that dark path of destruction.
Something to remember is that the 600 billion more for the Department of War came from all of the programs he cut or trashed altogether. If the 2026 election doesn't put on the brakes, we're going to see even worse devastation both here and abroad in 2027.

[hamsterjill]

106. I take no comfort in him saying he won't use force.

He lies.

He is only backing away from the use of force because other countries have stepped up to defy his sorry ass. He is a fucking crazy idiot. There is no telling what he may say today, and then do tomorrow.

[EnergizedLib]

108. South Park may have been topped

How do you come up with anything more ridiculous?

[Initech]

109. I seriously wonder how he hasn't been yanked off stage with a giant cartoon hook yet.

[spanone]

110. K&R

[spanone]

111. K&R

[JoseBalow]

112. What a buffoon!

[yobrault1]

118. Canada has a great big

middle finger for him.

[LudwigPastorius]

119. I just couldn't watch it.

I watched some of Trump's press conference the other day, and I'm all stocked up on crazy here.

[Cha]

120. The Big Problem for PEDO is...

Greenland and Canada do NOT Want to be owned by the Rapist, Mass Homicidal Maniac inside the WH.

The Idiot is showing the World What We Patriots are up Against in the USA

TY

[sakabatou]

121. Part of me is wondering how many of the other NATO countries

are considering using Article 5 on the US. I know they absolutely will should the US try to invade Greenland.

[Evolve Dammit]

122. Criminal mob boss. "Easy way or hard way." Nice country you have there (to all of Europe)....

[MadameButterfly]

124. Did he actually say Canada?

or was that just your logical conclusion?

[malaise]

125. Here's the full video

[llmart]

129. Look at his eyes...

and tell me he isn't doped up on something.

[VMA131Marine]

126. I want Scotland to build

more wind turbines in view of his golf courses.

Bastard!

[popsdenver]

128. He backed off today

and now is expecting a Nobel peace prize for resolving the "War" between the U.S. and Greenland........LOL

[ShazzieB]

130. Did anyone else notice his slumping posture?

Last edited Wed Jan 21, 2026, 10:40 PM - Edit history (1)

His right shoulder was noticeably lower than his left, causing him to lean at an odd angle, and he seemed to be gripping the lectern (or whatever it was) for dear life, presumably to keep from falling over. His voice was raspy, his articulation was mushy, and he seemed to push the words out with a noticeable effort, as he rambled incoherently.

He's obviously in no shape to run a corner hot dog stand, much less the government of a major nation. Every public appearance he makes is more pathetic than the last one. It's embarrassing, shocking, and outrageous that he's being allowed to continue in office in his condition. Watching him makes me want to scream, "SOMEBODY, PLEASE DO SOMETHING ALREADY!!!!! 😱

[C Moon]

131. Perhaps FIFA can give him Greenland?

[CitizenVain]

132. I decided to watch the entire thing

I guess American Presidents don't usually comment directly on trade issues at DAVOS but dang....
This is embarrassing; we're a country under duress; and I am ashamed...
