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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!! 😱
