Spoken like a true rapist: Trump posts that "everyone agrees" regarding his hostile takeover plan for Greenland

3. Trump's protection racket steams on...

He’s been surprisingly good at it in his shambling way.

Step 1: Make extreme threat. Smug in knowing that there’s nobody willing to take the extreme measures necessary to remove the threat maker from a position to make credible extreme threats.

Step 2: Collect the conciliatory appeasements.

Step 3: Rinse and repeat.

Of course, it’s an unsustainable business model in the hands of a psychopath (the very people most likely to use such a model) because they require an ever escalating level of appeasement to feel the thrill of squeezing the suckers and losers.
