25. Is this supposed to be an argument?
Sun Jan 11, 2026, 01:18 AM
Yesterday

First of all, totally normal cuz we do it all the time. Secondly, it’s probably not true cuz of the source. But if it was, nothing to see here. Trump is just making sure that if his need to invade Greenland arises, the military will not be unprepared. Also if this invasion I don’t believe will happen happens, the Rs will give us President JD.

It must be nice to have direct access to facts plus the answers to all the various counterfactuals.
