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.

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.

61. How's this Hugin?

It took me a few minutes.

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.

Trump has (among other things) made me start to consider the multiverse (an outlandish theory I used to think)..

Surely it would be either extraordinarily bad luck or an indictment of human nature for this to be the sole reality - factory farms, ventilation shutdown, mass extinction, human overpopulation, resource depletion, deforestation, climate change, mass incarceration, holocaust, war, slavery, rape, obscene levels of inequality, climate change, religion over science, Trump..

I feel judged ;-/..like this is the final clear indictment of this entire reality.



Edit: Or a pointless and moronic simulation using “Willow”. As lame and pointless as those llms. I saw an example this very morning. If that is their “ai” (morse, lights, creeps..just daft), zkp whatever, it has reinforces my determination to file complaints offline (to avoid more scams and pile ons). But without sparing any creeps (2011-the present/going forward) nor inadvertently inflicting collateral damage on randoms or anyone decent.

I move slow so I do not break things. But regardless nothing has changed. Today more than ever I consider this atrociously lame as science, exploitative, pointless and a burden on actually good scientists/doctors.

I have had to diy my mental health after my mom’s demise with medical mj and modafinil and both are in a grey area and so I will go to legitimate regulators etc as soon as I can to file complaints and get these things shut down and reported. In particular I would avoid anyone locally whom I came across in 2014-male or female. But it has all been bad with only a few bright spots. This is a drain on my resources.

I was a bit disoriented between 2011-now. Information (even if gleaned in this inelegant way) changes the brain.

This continues to look like stuff I would never ever sign up for-shoddy, exploitative, snoopy and pointless and I am going to file complaints about the use of my street, home and my own status as an extremely annoyed by now defacto research subject. I don’t like second rate science.

I cannot see someone like Kirsten Stade, Paul Ehrlich, William Rees, Madhav Gadgil or even Henrik Mouritsen, Peter Hore, Tejas Thackeray, Bittu Sahgal, Ryan Williams, Yan Lecun, Rollo Carpenter, Timnit Gebru/DAIR, Emily Bender, Kevin Compton, Quentin Stout, Clayton Dalton, Adam Becker, Josh Silberg, Dr Fauci, Francis Collins, scientists or doctors I knew or know getting involved in this. Those are scientists or science communicators, conservationists I would trust.

It looks more like the handiwork of the type of corporate Ai/data/VR/metaverse/mixed reality/simulation theory/ shill I would not allow within a 100 yards of my home irl and would block online.


People of this type to be clear (whom I at least consider frauds, yimbies, charlatans or at least somehow too vaguely shady to trust ):

Yimby: Brian Verelli

A whiff of 3-body’s alien type methods/religiosity/enthusiasm from The Discovery Institute type science influencers shilling NFTs and crypto: Sabine Hossenfelder, Bobby Azarian, Melvin Vopson, Robert Lanza, Michael Levine.

Sleazy surveillance/lame social engineering peddling snoops: Alex Pentland, Ben Waber, most of Google/Facebook/Palantir/Musk Inc/Microsoft/Zuckerberg/Bill Gates/Alex Karp/Shyam Sankar/RFK jr or Maha/


Generally somehow objectionable: anyone from the Santa Fe Institute,

Edtech peddler: Sebastian Thrun,

Fraudster: Elizabeth Holmes

Google type/MIT Media Lab or at the very least generally annoying: Demi Hassabis, Neri Oxman, Ed Boyden (I don’t care how often he leers out of the pages of Quanta Magazine-he may be a legit scientist unlike most of this dubious crowd but he took money from the MIT Media Lab), Joy Buolamwini (MIT Media Lab and generally annoying), Fei Fei Li, Peter Norvig

Me Too creeps: Kanury S Rao, Stephen A Morse, Lawrence Krauss, Neil Degrasse Tyson, Padmanabhan Predeep, Ajith PT,

Uncategorised: Blippi, Jessica Krause, Stepfanie Tyler

I can’t possibly list every human everywhere I object to. That is too many people. But this is a sample. I am seriously filing complaints.
It is mostly Americans b

[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…”

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!

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.

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.

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.

[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.

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.

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.

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!!!!! 😱
