10. This is reminiscent of Trump's trade negotiator in Canada

Can't recall the man's name but I heard him say he just didn't understand Canada's aggressive pushback to Trump's tariffs and trade offers. This after innumerable instances of threatening their sovereignty--all the 'Make Canada Our 51st state' nonsense. According to the Administration, the escalating trade war with Canada is Canada's fault.

Agent Orange is purposely isolating the US from the rest of the world, particularly our allies who are turning their collective backs to America. Modi in India won't even return Trump's calls.

This sloppy influence operation in Greenland is just one more insult, this time to Denmark. The 'calm down' warning is typical, completely tone deaf and arrogant. The Mafia Don expects everyone to roll over to his whims and fantasies.

He wants Americans isolated as he beats us over the head and shreds the rule of law.

Never forget, never forgive.
