20. Trump now threatens a NATO ally "the hard way." This is beyond madness.

He just told reporters that he will "do something" about Greenland, "whether they like it or not." After the disaster in Venezuela, he is now openly threatening to annex an autonomous region of Denmark, one of our oldest NATO allies.

His excuse? He claims that China and Russia are "taking over," even though Denmark has already dismissed this as absurd. The Danish Prime Minister says this could be the end of NATO, and he's right. How can an alliance exist when the US leader threatens to invade a member state because he wants its minerals? We've officially gone from "America First" to "Global Bully America."
