exaggeration, or overly dramatic, or inaccurate. Unfortunately for all of us, it's none of those. Not only are the turns of phrase pointed and brutal...they are accurate and honest. Sadly. Tragically. IMHO

Re the Greenland post he poisoned the air with: Grabbing Greenland by the Fjords

Well, if that’s not peak Donald Trump I don’t know what the fuck is.

He’s threatening Denmark that he’ll attack Greenland because he’s mad at Norway. Norway. Denmark. Greenland. Three distinct nouns sloshing around inside the same overheated slurry of ego, injured vanity, and spoiled-meat instinct — a damp cognitive soup where facts dissolve on contact and responsibility has never once been allowed past the velvet rope. Greenland, meanwhile, is just sitting there being enormous and icy and minding its own glacial business when it suddenly gets drafted into a septuagenarian sulk spiral like an innocent bystander yanked into a bar fight because they were closest to the jukebox.

Norway didn’t give him the Nobel Peace Prize. Denmark doesn’t decide the Nobel Peace Prize. Greenland has never awarded anything to anyone except hypothermia and quiet. None of that mattered. Inside Trump’s internal sludge, proximity equals guilt, geography equals betrayal, and the nearest available landmass becomes an emotional chew toy the second his feelings get bruised.

And this wasn’t a drunk tweet or a hot-mic burp. This went out on official digital White House letterhead. Government fonts. Presidential margins. The seal patiently loading while a personal injury got promoted to foreign policy. Somewhere in Europe, an actual head of state opened their inbox expecting diplomacy and instead received a tantrum wrapped in institutional authority like a flaming bag of shit left on a marble doorstep.
